Josephine Baker would have nailed these dresses, I mean fruit is the start of all naughty according to some. A bit of casual where I promise no fishies were harmed, and a strut down the aisle.

Relay for Life Clothing Fair – SLink, Fleur, VR Foundry, CKS Designs, Adam n Eve, SySy Designs
Roslin Petion of Fleur always has this insane ability to catch me on a posestand, it used to be not so strange as I was pic taking all day for a long time, but the last few times it has been bloggers fate for sure.
I was one pic in and as soon as I saw the New Shoujo skins I knew I had to start over.
The post today is items that are featured at this years Relay for Life Clothing Fair 2009. HERE Is a list of all the sims and the stores that are featured on each one, tomorrow is the last day, so make sure you head on over.
This first dress is the VR Foundry Relay for Life item, during the fair; the money from each sale of the Deep Red Fantasy Dress will go to Relay for Life. So many people I know, and people I have come across just loved the Black Fantasy, so to have such a deep and gorgeous Red available now is a MUST HAVE!, but I have been informed that there are other colours to come soon as they have been requested by all the Fantasy fans.
The Deep Red Fantasy Dress comes with not only the long and sexy dress, but also the sheer crossover straps teddy which you can wear seperately and is just a lovely extra. The other extra and something I wear often with pants, shorts whatever, is the incredibly delicate belly chain that comes with the Fantasy dress. So remember all sales during the fair of this dress in the deep red will go to RFL.
The hair is an older style from ETD but so elegant, and is the Anisa style, ETD is still under construction but soon to be re-opening.
This is not one of the New Fleur Skins but an older one, the Vivant Lalique which is so sultry and the perfect colour blend for this dress, there are many beautiful deep make ups at Fleur, the newer ones are very light and incredibly delicate, sooo gorgeous but I wanted to wear this one for this dress.
The Medalion Set of Earrings and Bracelet, and the Burgundy Hair Rose are all by Essentia, and well you know I think they are Must Haves, there are DEMOS at the Essentia Main Store.
The Shoes I am wearing are brand new today, they are the Caged Platforms by SLink, and as they are SLink shoes that means they have feet. Since the Glamour Shoes I have shown in the past SLink shoes have gone even further in the HUD additions.
Motivated by how VR Foundry Posestand HUD has two sides that rotate depending on need, the Omni HUD that comes with the SLink Shoes now flips around to give so many more options, and WOW what options. Not only do you get the tintable skin options for the feet, but there are so many incredible extras for the shoes.
Lockable Feet is an option that is similar to the Boot Fixer, giving the ankles an animation keeping them in place so that straps and the tops of the sculpted foot don’t interfere with your stylish look. But not only lockable ankles but also now the addition of Pointe, so that those that are going with the bare foot look from SLInk can kneel or sit coyly and it will only enhance the experience.
More metal options for the incredible prim work of the Caged Platform Heels themselves, and the amazing detailing up the front of the foot into the straps. More Toering options for left and right or without. A huge assortment of toepolish colours, as well as the addition of Nail Art for the larger toes.
Now also with the addition of stocking toes, for when tinting feet to match stockings or pantyhose you may be wearing, now I am not a huge fan of open toed and stockings, but in some cases it is acceptable it depends on the shoes, but the fact you can do it rocks lol. There is also a slider resizer for those that don’t want to feel that size 0 feet is the only option.
The prim work as stated is just incredible on these shoes, each part of the cage work is individual primmage, and it really shows the dedication that Siddean has to making our feet feel treasured and pampered.
I have seen people in chat – which makes me cringe – comment on the negatives of prim toes/feet etc, and it is always about how hard it is to tint them etc, just remember something very very important, you cannot get them 100% spot on, because every single skin uses different methods to reach the desired tones, every single person in SL is seeing SL differently than you, it will never matter if you are all using the exact same WL settings unless you have the same pc with same graphics and same exact lighting RL you will see things differently.
ALSO and this is the most important part, no ones feet are the exact same shade of skin colour as their legs lol, we spend so much time with our feet inside of shoes, that it is natural for them to slightly differ, just like our torsos don’t match our arms. So lighten up on yourself and others, and just enjoy the pretties, because otherwise you will either send yourself balmy trying too hard , or you will miss out on the fun of having sexy shoes.
Popfuzz released this Nadia Dress recently and this tight and sexy number is in pink for RFL Clothing Fair , there are a huge range of other colours available but the sale of this one will go to RFL during the fair.It has a zippered front that if it was RL you would have to pin on the inside to ward off any lecherous zipper attacks lol, or not, depends on if you like suddenly baring all.
It is tight, tight, tight, and in true Popfuzz style it has taken into account any issues with the system templates, Popfuzz has added prim sleeves to the dress and even though it looks like they arent there at all, that is the point, they are purely to neaten up the template line of the sleeve, she goes above and boyond with all her creations that way.
There is a super kinky Naughty Nurse Nadia dress costume also for sale, not for RFL.. that is a special complete set including skins that you need to check out also, I will be showing that another day.
The Skin I am wearing is the Shoujo by Fleur in the Boutique Azalea tone, the make up is number 5 and there are 6 make ups in total for this release that is due out tomorrow. As per usual the bodies of the skins are soft and romantic, with all of the delicate features that you love from Fleur skins.
The faces of the Shoujo skins are just lovely, so pretty in features, and soft and alluring. I really love this new range of make ups too and they worked perfectly with the range of clothes I was shooting, so timing is everything.
The hair is another New release by SLink or recent release, the Lorelei hair is a long tail style with different bands traveling up the tail itself, keeping such a thick tail tame. The hair at SLink also comes with an incredible hud to change textures with giving you so much range with the one wig, the bands also have texture change capabilities.
I of course had so much fun changing Toenails and metal features with the Caged Platforms, also by SLink, DEMO DEMO DEMO.
One ofthe Must Haves with the New Shoujo Skins is the New Stella Dress by CKS Designs, Kit being a huge fan of all that Fleur does it was a no brainer on reshooting. The Stella dress is a mid thigh asymetrical Cocktail dress, that comes in this lovely pink cherry colour for RFL.
Other colours are also available at the fair, and this is only one of the RFL items on offer by CKS Designs. The foral look adornment on the dresses one strap can be worn with or without, both ways looks great, and the strappy back is definitely inviting trouble, what man can resist straps lol.
With the Stella dress I am wearing the Love Song Necklace from Sable Rose, the colours in this lovely necklace just enhance the whole romantic look. The Jacquie hair is another style from SLink and I really like the Jackie O style updo, this is not the first retro look style with a Jackie O name that has come out of SLink, so I am seeing a real vintage influence in her style.
The lips on Shoujo are just wonderful, had to share that observation, coz I like so totally paused then.
Another Incredible Relay for Life item is the Marblelous Gown from SySy Designs, very steam punky in texture, this gown has such a lovely essence about it. The colour scheme has this mix of leather against bare skin kind of feel to it, but you are completely covered… a bit naughty if you ask me.
I love how this looks with the innocent look of the Shoujo Spring 4 Make Up, the blush on the cheeks giving it a demure and bashful look, where with the illusion of the dress can be incredibly striking. The Marbelous gown also comes with the wonderful beaded choker, featuring a soft flower at the front, a great piece that you can wear with many other pieces in your inventory.
The Ashley hair by SLink has so much more going for it than I captured in the picture, a lovely braid amongst the loose bun style, you will need to check out the DEMO for yourself, a fabulous transition style which can move from casual all the way to formal, and everything in between.
Make sure you pay attention to the wonderful Eyes I am wearing in todays post, these are the Chemistry Grey Eyes from PanJen , very beautiful and we all know how much I loves my grey. While you are checking out the eyes, make sure you grab all her lashes as well, they are amazing.
Lastly not a RFL item, but featured at the fair this year is the amazing Glamour Gown by Adam n Eve. This gown has three skirt options, the full gown as shown and a micro mini and flexi mini. The gowns that come out of Adam n Eve are always so amazing, this is no exception.
The colour for a start is remarkable, the shading and detailing on the bodice of the dress is superb. My favourite part as I am sure it will be everyones is of course the sequin effect across the breasts, thats almost a blend of silver and gold, which I just love.
The Jewelry I am wearing is from Primagine, a set that is by name Everyday, but in this incidence could be called Special Occasion. Beautiful craftmanship on these pieces, the heart featured on earrings, necklace and bracelet is just lovely with its Diamond insert, the bracelet is my fav of the pieces because it has that charm bracelet quality I love, all the pieces tie in so well with the gown.
Make sure you do not miss out on the items at Clothing Fair, it ends tomorrow so you do not want to miss out, and even if you have been already, give it a whirl again, you may find something that you missed the first time.
Such an incredible cause, and so much hard work has gone into it, a big congrats to all that took part and a huge hug for all those that ventured over with the right frame of mind.
Don’t forget also the Shoujo Spring skins will be released Sunday 22nd so make sure you DEMO up a storm.

Volumen Lashes by LeLutka which I wear all the time and would go spare without.
Poses and Stands always used by me while taking pics, even if some end up on cutting room floor:
Springing into LeLutka
The collection is inspiring, the creators are exceptional, and the way in which you wear any of these items will have you feeling that spring is truly in the air. The LeLutka release was a fabulous show and the looks you are seeing today were actually put together for the show by Mariya Nesiote one of the Stylists for LeLutka who did an incredible job. I will show a variation of some because thats just me lol, but for the most part they are exactly as we saw them :).
The Valentina dress is elegant and stylish. The ruffle is a beautiful addition to the style of this system skirt pencil dress, but you can wear it without and have a completely different look. The belt adds that little extra with a stylish L for LeLutka to show that you know where to shop for classy creations. The earrings that are a MUST HAVE as is all of the Jewelry by Miabella Foxley for LeLutka, but seriously the Hampton Earrings are to die for. Nana Heels you should all have by now are from Enkythings and look fantastic with this dress as they pick up the same shine in the black as the dress does.
Sophie hair by Maitreya is such a wonderful transition style moving from uppydo to casual retro creatively. 
This style is the one that nearly brought the house down. Marleen and Whimsy both stated that they want to be buried in this Gigi Trench, and I must say that they can, but I want to live in it as much as possible lol. This is such a vintage 60’s inspired look, I love the texture and shape of the coat, and its ability to be worn as a shorter top you will see further along.
The lovely tan/cream Kitty top is so soft and a definite staple, very well paired with the fabulous Chocolate Heidi shorts. The 100%Plastic bag was given as a group gift early yesterday and is just fabulous fun, the portfolio has me giggling all the way to my own shoot.
Miabella has done something with the Reese necklace that I myself haven’t seen before, she has added shading to the prims so that it actually casts a shadow on the body, very well done and the textures in her pieces are just gorgeous, all that experience in PS has totally payed off for those that are going to be big fans of her in world creativity.
I am wearing the Chloe hair by Maitreya in this shot because the cream cap just adds to the light tones in the outfit so well, the beanie is of course texture change on click , but this cream was perfect.
Who wouldnt love Green Zebra stripe, the Zeba Skirt is just gorgeous. Worn here with the Olimpia Sweater and Carla jacket, they are styled together but you will need to take the Olimpia collar off to wear it properly, or at least edit the prims enough so it fits realisticly. The coat is cinched in at the waist with the gorgeous Michelle belt, the accessories in this Spring 2009 release are just amazing.
The hair is Messy by LeLutka and the shoes are their new foray into footwear, making them now an all rounder, the textureson the shoes are beautiful and rich, these are the Shanon heels you will see throughout the post in carious colours. 
Everyone oooo’d when this dress hit the runway, this feminine floral creation is the Flora dress, the plum pink mixed with the vibrant green is stunning and because of the lovely ribon trim can be worn as a top easily, as there are different options for the layers. As I said accessories are beautiful and the bags are so incredible through the whole range, this is the Glen top handle bag, a great hand held bag thats not too small you can’t fit all you need inside of it.
The hair is the Donatella style from LeLutka decorated with the Hair Rose in plum by Essentia. Another gorgeous pendant by Miabella@ LeLutka is the Florence, a Glass pendant with a metalic inlay, its really beautiful, reminiscent of a monacle.
When this outfit hit the runway it immediately made me think of Thora, this is totally her style.. Sinner or Saint is the question or is it just a statement, why choose?. The Masha pants and Tank Top are fantastic exploring wear, fun in the sun can be shielded with the protection of the fabulous Fedora hat, the hair I modded a lot under neath it is the Peta style.
The Sack Bag is a Must Have and if you are in the group a Golden Rod one was sent out yesterday with various other fabulous items, I am so in love with not just the bags from LeLutka but the inbuilt AO’s, I actually emptied one out of the bag and added it to my other handbag AO also made up of LeLutka bag poses and walks so now I have a left and right, I am planning a tutorial on that shortly.
The Jewelry is the Drop Pendant and Earrings in Mayan, and the fun and fabulous Cuff bangle in Lime by Miabella@LeLutka, so delicate and so many beautiful colours to choose from. Korina Ballet Flats are so sperbly textured you would swear they were velvet soft.
This isthe Lotta Top, a gorgeous sculpted top with a beautiful one sided straps look. The fabric in this top is just gorgeous and bring sthe whole look together beautifully. The jeans are the Mischa jeans, cuffed bottoms giving them a very cool old school look. The Wooden Bangle 2 and Wooden Cuff with the Tate Hair all give it a hippie chic feel that is very well established with the Love Junky Logo across the leather label on the back. 
Not part of the collection already styled is the Olimpia Sweater and the fabulous Mona Jeans skirt I couldnt resist. Again using that fabulous Michelle belt to cinch it all in and add a little bit of the soft tawny colouring that is finished up with the Shanon shoes.
Silver hoops by Miabella are always a girls best friend, and these are dangly ones that don’t put the hoop through the earlobe but actually just rest nicely hanging from the hook, such lovely detailed work. The hair in this pic is River 2 by Maitreya.
I adore, love, cherish, and wish to live in these pants. They are the Olimpia pants and so far I have three pairs and want all of them. These are the perfect yoga style pants, they are full flare and just so gorgeous. The top is the Mila top and again sculpted and so pretty in the tiered style.
Another fantastic casual day look, with the perfect Sunglasses which I also love and there are many colours to choose from in the store, as well as the Cuff bangle, Sack Bag and Diamond Shanon shoes, finishing off the look with the Mary Kate hair by LeLutka.
Another incredible dress and in such a stunning green is the Lea dress, now everything shown today comes in a huge array of colours, so even if you don’t like the ones shown make sure you look to see what other ones are available. The Lea dress is actually so beautiful as a top also, I was wearing the top to this one with the green Olimpia pants and the look wonderful together.
The sculpted top needed a touch of fitting for me at the breasts, but edit linked parts is your friend, or use the resizer script like I often do in a copy version of the top, so you can do minimal changes at a time. The scalloped bottom to this dress is just wonderful and it flows around you so well with movement. The Hair is Eva 2 by Maitreya, the Eva styles are must haves for sure.
There is something too fabulous about high waisted shorts or pants, in this incidence its all about the shorts. The Michelle shorts are just that kind of fabulous, in such wonderful soft pastels, but the selling point has to be not only the high waisted look, but the perfectly cure contrast colouring on the arch at the bum, alluding to definite perkyness.
A wonderful way to get the most out of the Gigi trench coat is to wear it as a cropped tied up top, and with this ensemble it is just that, whether with something like the Silky Shirt underneath or without. The hair is a Electra and the lovely jewelry by Miabella that compliments the style and the colours is the Grace Pendant and Earrings.
Another show stopper is the Simone Dress, the perfect frock for spring, the dresses texture is like spun sill and the lovely style is just reminiscent of walks along the beach and sipping Pina Coladas on a deck at your favourite seafood restaurant as the sun sets in the distance, ahhhhhhhh. The Glen Top Bag and the Shanon shoes again perfectly accompany this look, adding the beautiful Mayte hair by Maitreya to the mix.
The talented Valena Glushenko has incorporated alot of elegance into this collection with a stunning assortment of Gowns. The Maria Gown in Violet is just gorgeous, a bit of tweaking needed by me for the top and the waist sash but nothing painful, the only labor intensive part was by choice, making a copy of the top of the gown and reattaching to the spine so that I could wear the delicate and so lovely Cluster Necklace and Earrings by Miabella with it.
The stunning silhouette this gown gives is just wonderful, and as an overly appreciative member of the audience said, a Perfect Bridesmaids gown. The Piper 2 Hair by Maitreya and the White and lavender Hair Rose by Essentia finish it off so well.
The finale wouldn’t be complete without the Wedding Gown, and this one takes the cake.The Odessa Wedding Gown is INCREDIBLE, sculpted roses underneath a tulle layer, if you have seen Sex in the City this gown should have been in that movie, it is that perfect. With the gown you get the lovely Lilys and an option to have them connected to the skirt as one or seperate which is very handy indeed. Wearing the the Nahla hair with this gown and the Beautiful Silver Hair Rose by Essentia which I actually have the matching wedding boquet of lol, I am ready and waiting – dodges the shoe Mel just threw at my head 😛 just teasing you ♥.
I know you thought that was it, but I couldnt finish without talking about the Skins worn. They are all the London Revolution skins that come in many tones, but I was wearing the sunkissed through out the shoot. The make up is beautiful and not too overly dramatic unless needed to be, the shading as usual is lovely and the face is just lovely with its full lips and expressive eyes.
All available at LeLutka there are 48 skins being released and many are being released in the Mens section also, I am only showing the backs of the skins in other tones today because I didnt want to change out of my Olimpia Pants in Black lol.
DEMO DEMO DEMO.
All of the poses today are from Long Awkward Pose, and some of them are the love bloggers pack which is great for minimal movement of the torso, fantastic for vendor pics.

Runo Runo – A whole lot of Sexy
It started with an IM about Shibari and a TP to the perfect location for said practice, that then lead to showing a new purchase and a top that was adorable, a quick TP and many many items later, complete adoration.
Yes another day where I log into an IM from Newdoll♥.
Ok so the Shibari part you don’t need to know about, but the clothes are just fantastic, and if on a budget then you are going to squeel. First off you must buy every fat pack in Runo Runo by Jojorunoo Runo, it’s just crazy not to, the prices as singles are insane, but the fat packs are even better.
One pack for instance is the UNDress fat pack , a Must have!.
The pack contains three completely different dresses in black and white options, so you get six dresses that also have many options for looks. This first one is the Undress Evening Dress, firstly imagine it in white also because I didn’t get pics of that. Then also imagine it without the tank tshirt from LaLaFooFoo because it doesnt come with that, but in fact comes either bare or with pasties…yes it is that kind of look.
The strapps and the skirt are part of the UnDress Evening Dress by Runo Runo, and are just gorgeous , I know one Ashia Tomsen that will die when she sees this skirt. The hair is Thursday, a great hat/hair combo from Gritty Kitty, colour change menu driven for textures of the feathers and band of the hat.
Another of the Undress combos is Cocktail, incredibly raunchy and sexy in both colours. I played with the prims of the white one to bring part of the dress up higher for more coverage, and it looks awesome, not too sure how well it would move that way though.
I think that all the extras will make fantastic mix and match items, the collars and armbands especially, plus I just love the strapped and buckled version on the leg parts, very hot. Again its a pasties combo, but with some great items from your inventory you can of course modesty it up :).
I am wearing the Bax Coen Ankle Boots in both the Patent Black and White, these are scripted for a huge variety of options. Lace upper trim can be turned on and off, an AO walk comes with or you can use your own, sounds, colour options for laces and of course a fabulous resizer script. If you don’t already have these beauties go and try on the demos asap as there are fabulous colours available now since their first release.
The lovely curls are the Delilah hair from Analog Dog, a huge fan of her curly hair it really is worth trying on in any of the wonderful styles.
I didn’t take pics of the third outfit because I ran out of time, but this dress the Silk Dress is TO DIE FOR. The options in the Runo Runo creations blow me away, I mean this is one set and you get four dresses in one. The silk texture is stunning and the colour is fantastic.
The shading is exactly how something like this would sit and cling to the body, its YUMMY. The sculpted prims are remarkable in all of Runo Runo creations, this set has everything clearly named and marked to know what goes with what, and yes everything comes on all layers.
The hair in this is the Sofia style from ETD, the store is closed at the moment but everyone is anxiously waiting to see what happens when it reopens. The Beautiful and extremely delicate necklace is from Bliensen + MaiTai and it is the Ghostflower necklace, again lots of menu options for changing the amazing leaves and petals, as well as gemstones adorning the chocker, they are an accessory store that impresses me more and more with every new release.
The strappy shoes are from Enkythings, the Bonita shoes are marvelous for a spring date and so is this dress.
This is another date dress, the Hyperkinetic Dress by Runo Runo is available in two colours seperately…I couldn’t resist both. This is the kind of dress you wear to remind your partner exactly what they have and how much they should appreciate it lol. The layers allow for you to wear all layers to make the lace a little less sheer, but that is just up to you how daring you wish to be, the style is gorgeous and as you can see you get both a long and short version, but also wearing both together gives you a lovely tiered effect.
The hair is Peta by LeLutka and I hope you are all ready for that reopening tomorrow, the Spring Collection is all ready for release at 4pm tomorrow and WOW is all I can say on that right now. The beautiful Art Deco earrings are from Essentia, the prim work on these and all of the Essentia range is remarkable, there is no alpha and no tricks just pure prim work that you need to see for yourself.
Now if you aren’t into dating or wearing very provocative clothing as such, but really want to give Runo Runo a whirl then don’t despair because their casual styles are fantastic as well. This is the Odd Overall set in black, this also comes in denim seperately, but I was instantly drawn to the black.
First off the buttons are large and beautifully textured, the sculpted pieces really make this a lovely set that can be dressed up or down depending on yoru mood. The shorts are adorable and if you want to deprim you can just wear the shorts with the top on its own. I have to admit to being a bit in love with that collar though.
The hair is Messy by LeLutka the style that I always associate with Thora Charron its creator, again you have got to ready yourselves for tomorrows incredible Spring 2009 Launch, NOTE WELL the sims have been rearranged in this big transition so be sure to update your LM’s for LeLutka Beaute and Mode. The shoes are the Black Frenzy heels from Maitreya the style of these is just gorgeous and the leather work exceptional.
More casual lovelies is the Simple Skirt from Runo Runo, the Simple skirt is available seperate or as the fat pack but again buy the fat pack. The sculptie skirt is gorgeous, the wrap around fronted and buttoned style is wonderful and the colours are just lovely. I am wearing them all with the Latte Tank from Awesome Designs, part of a set but such a beautiful tank that I wear often.
Tassel Wedges from J’s are just perfect for the simple skirt, especially the beige pair, these shoes if you don’t already have them are a Must Have especially with the warmer weather coming up. One of my favourite styles of hair from Aden is the Kenzie 2 style, a much older style that used to only be available at the Aden older styles store, hopefully it still is.
The top that started the Runo Runo lov. This is the Knit Tank and seperately are the fabulous Knit Stockings. The Knit Tank comes only in Black that I saw and has four different options as shown, incredible sculpties that I only had to move around a touch because of height, and the knit texture is fabulous.The Knit Stockings come with three colours one being grey, YAYYYYYYY, and have all sorts of options for where the prim attachments attach, as do all the Runo Runo pieces.. that is a big deal too, there are so many options for where you may want to wear each piece, so if you wear other items and don’t want to remove them, possibly Runo Runo has taken care of that for you :).
The shorts I am wearing are the Safari shorts from CKS Designs, these cute shorts are part of a huge release from CKS done last year and I showed the pants recently in another post, for a splash of colour amongst the black these were perfect. Tammy 2 is another style from Aden and it seems I really like his 2’s lol, this hair also has extensions options, not worn.
Ok now about the skins.
Recently as shown partially in another post, Blow Pop Creator Annyka Bekkers released and rebranded with the New Infinity Line. This skin is the Carmen Skin in Raw Sienna tone, the tone is beautiful and the Skins face is just gorgeous. The make up is really striking and the lips themselves are full and luscious, just how I like my lips to be. You really need to try on all of the New Infinity line, as they are such incredible Hand Drawn skins.
Annyka has spent months perfecting them, and it has paid off. There is such versatility in the whole range, DEMO DEMO DEMO.
All of todays poses are by Ana Lu Fresh Poses, there has been a recent new release in the Ana Lu store and this post was a mix of older and new poses.
Have a great day/night and thank Newdoll for the yummies next time you see her out and about, but be careful she might tie you to something ;).

Slippery
A beautiful NEW Skin to the ever expanding Gala skin line is Pin-Up, and as the name suggests it is all pouty lips and starlet styled make up that will have you panting, or possibly your partner will be.
To start off the huge post of Pin Up Skins by Gala, I am wearing Pin Up from Stellar * Waves to Lexi* . The pieces to this set are extremely sexy and great fun. You can opt for with or without the flexi addition to the strapless top, that is tightly laced at the front, highlighting the beautiful shading of the skins. The mini flexi skirt is a staple in any Stellar fans wardrobe and the print on this one is fab. The bangle is also included in the set, and if you are a red/black combo fan I am sure it will be worn alot.
All of the main pics in this post are featuring the Sundust tone in the Pin Up Skins by Gala, the tone is just gorgeous as are all of them, but I spent the day in the SL sun today so it was appropriate ;), but when I took all the tones pics further down I wanted to do another 50 pics, but I spared you :P. As before all the tones come in both a dark and light version, I am wearing the dark option and this is the Starlet 1 make up. I have to say that during this shoot, I kept having a Taylor from B&B kind of thought process with these skins, and hey to look one pixel like that woman would make me very very happy indeed.
What I really like in these is the obvious lightness to the face, in such a way as to really show that you are in fact wearing make up, that there is all over coverage going on.
The bodies of these skins are just as the last release, so beautifully shaded and the stomach is just gorgeous. The hair I am wearing, and yes again I am doing Hair all by the same store, I don’t want you wearing yourself out running all over the place 😛 , oh wait you will for clothes anyway lol. The hair is from Magika and is the Lucy style with an adorable bow at the top, slightly alluding to innocence until you travel further down the body.
Ok so by now I know you are going OMG WHERE ARE THOSE BOOTS FROM ?, I know right. They are my new hotness bought for me by my Main Hotness Mel. These are the XPosed Boots by Fussy and these boots are all that and a bag of chips. A triple MUST MUST MUST HAVE!. They are sculpted toes and heel, with a hud that allows for skin change and nailpolish changes, these boots are sooo Sexy and I am dieing for them to come in more colours, and possibly leather options not only patent/latex…not that I have any issues wearing this kind of texture lol as you can see they fit into my wardrobe very smoothly, but PLEEEEEEEASE make me some more more more Satomi pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease. Oh and I didnt meantion BOWS on the back lol , these are so yummy I couldn’t take them off.
Also wearing the Solid Black Raincoat from Elixir, these coats in the past I have shown in the sheer latex version, I am really liking the solids as they allow for more mixing up with other items. The Slung Mini skirt is also from Elixir and is an older style that is really sexy and I really like the innovative way that Elixir have created this skirt to look a particular way, and also to work with the way prims work in SL.
A New style from Magika is the Buns hair, really nice large buns, two of them at the back of the head with thick bangs sideswept at the front. This is the Jitterbug 1 Make Up from Gala in the Pin Up skin, and the red in these lips is smashing.
One of my favourite older items from Bare Rose is this Basket. A long time friend Luve had this easter of 2007 and we ran right over and got me one, we also went there in bunny avatars and acted crazy for a few hours lol. I ran into June yesterday and she assures me that it is still there, and even though it was created with easter in mind it is just so very Goth Lolita looking, and the skully black eggs, I mean hello stink bombs lol.
The beautiful Dress is the Julia dress by Popfuzz Bamboo and it really is lovely, the dress comes in a huge assortment of colours, as do many Popfuzz creations, strapless with a light spray of floral embelishment across the top of the dress gives it that little extra in this tube style I adore for SL, no chance of it falling down.
More beautiful embelishments are in the form of the Tiana Necklace and Earrings from DeLa, these are so delicate and beautiful. They come in various colours but also with silver and gold options available. The new releases coming out of DeLa lately are really stepping up into a new level as Kura has been creating with new software and has been spending hours per day learning her new methods, and to me it is well worth the sacrifice of time in world.
The Apple Pie Make up from Gala Pin Up is another brilliant red lipstick option, one release with this many red lippy variations is just fantastic. The hair is the Olga style, another New release from Magika, I am loving the tamer styles coming from there lately, with the cute pins on the sides, Magika is giving their customers an all situations hair range.
The other week we had another one of our, ‘Fia needs to shop” days that ended with all of the girls spending money lol, how he puts up with us I don’t know…oh wait I mean me :P. Actually now that I look at it closer this pic has Fia all over it, starting with the I Bite Belt from Miau Haus, we went there back in Aug 2006 and bought this belt, I loved it then so much and still do.
The Bloomers I am wearing are from Scribble, these come in different colours highlighting the black bloomers, but these are the black/black pair and they are puffy and cute as in a more modern way than previous bloomers I have shown. This post kind of made me realise that there are Pin Ups from all sorts of genres, I mean a Pin Up is really just someone you admire and find attractive, whether you are Male/Female, Punk, Goth, Neko, Furry or a fish its about that appeal and attraction.
The bikini top is from Elixir and is their latex bikini which comes on all layers and is very handy to have. The Aggression ArmBands are from Digital Dragon Designs and are wickedly cool and actually match some other boots I have from there. The other fantastic accessories I have are the Open Handcuffs Necklace and lipring by Sable Rose, the lipring I have been wearing on and off for days it is so cool, and actually from a distance looks like vamp teeth lol. Incredible work is coming from Sable Rose lately and more wonderful creations to come.
An old set of Ink from TRUTH is the Betty tat, I am not sure if this is still in the main store but even if it isn’t its a great indicator of the types of tats Truth does, also this is on not only different layers but different options, such as arms only, back only, back and arms etc. The hair is Acceptable by Magika and the Gala PinUp make up is the Pure 2 which is a bare make up and so cool to have that option with Skins like this.
The bag that we ended up getting that shopping day is the BLACK CAT BACKPACK SMALL “Nekovampi Pet” by NekoVampi this bag is too cute, and if you click on it the cat meows scarily lol. There are three sizes in the bags that you get and the price is fab. I have been wearing this one and off for a few weeks and it is lots of fun.
This next dress is from SySy , a classic black dress with a beautiful large turleneck look. To give it a bit more purrr I have added the Wild Animal Print Belt, Earrings and Bangle from Dark Mouse. I have shown the Zebra before in these and they are just as fabulous in the Tiger stripe Copper, the style of jewelry and the belt are just fabulous for this look or any pants/shirt combo.
The hair in this pic is Root Bear and for some obscure reason I keep thinking it’s called Sea Gull, don’t ask me why because I don’t know lol.
The Pull Col dress is a great little number for casual to dressy looks, it does come in a variety of deep colours , but the black was so working with the accessories I couldn’t resist.
Yay for YaYa , this dress is fabulous and again by SySy. The colours and the shape of the dress is so fun and carefree. I love the vibrant and rich colours in the prints on these dresses, by far my favourite has to be the firey coloured one in the centre. All of them are swish loving fun, you know you do it in your head when you find that kind of dress, I cannot be the only one that makes random swishing noises to myself
The fabulous hair is Riddle b y Magika which is a great tails style with full and fluffed out tails. Again one of the Bare Make Up options in the Pin Up skins by Gala is the Cats Pyjamas 2, lippy or not the mouths on these skins is hot hot hot.
These are all of the tones in the Pin Up skins by Gala, the body detailing is scrumptious and the tones themselves are just heavenly. In the frontal pic I am wearing the Dark option of each tone, and in the back view picture I am wearing the light. The difference is not a lot but just enough to make that transition you need on occasion depending on mood and weather.
I am wearing the Luna Di Miele Lingerie by DP Serendipity, this is their first lingerie line and it is really lovely. The fabric is a velvet look with lace trim and detailing, I especially love the scalloped edged elastic look to the trim of the panties. The thong is beautifully shaped at the back to accentuate the curve of the lower back and hips, a fantastic first lingerie style.
I decided to show Olga in more colours as its such a pretty hair by Magika :).
All of the Shooting Poses used today are from Persona YAY Mylie Writer is back from taking a break and has brought with her some fantastic poses. These are fabulous for showing all sorts of items, especially the Fussy Xposed boots YUM YUM YUM couldn’t wait to finish typing had to tp Newdoll over to grab some in the laced up and buckled version that I swear was not there two days ago I swearrrrr.

A quickie today.
The Sexy Velvet dress is from a store called Sassy Kitty, so how could I resist.I actually came across it on xstreet and decided I was in the mood for taking a gamble, I can’t help it but xstreet still feels that way for me, onrez was so safe *sighs*.
Anyway I purchased this dress and it was exactly as I hoped it would be, actually a bit sexier on I have to admit. The fabric is lovely, and the ring cut outs are very shagadelic. I tp’d over to the actual store last night at Sassy City – have to admit feeling a touch corny being there – and grabbed these fabulous Skull gloves, for 20L they were a bargain and a half and come in other colours and other prints, but skully ones are a Must Have.
Wanting to wear something that was going to show off the New Grace Skin by PXL this dress was it. The new skin has a very charismatic face, beautifully shaded with full lips and a great nose, if you haven’t already worked it out I have a thing about my nose.
The body detailing is as usual very meticulously carried out, Hart Larsson of PXL takes a lot of pride in his attention to detail, there are alot of options in the Grace Skins, there are 7 lip colours and 4 eyeshadow/make up options as well as dfferent brows and freckles versions also.
There are also different ways of fat packing the skins, by either purchasing based on eye make up or lipstick. THe liquid liner effect especially in this one shown is just lovely.
The boots I am wearing in both pics are from Lya, they are the Valentina slouch boots, they are beautiful leather ankle boots, with gorgeous colours and the ability to have them lace topped or not, not everyone likes lace. What I really like is that without the slouch portion these boot bases will look fantastic with dress pants or jeans, they have that biker boot feel to them.
The stunning hair I am wearing is from Magika and is the Raid hair, I really like long tails that have bands wrapped around them at various lengths.
I really don’t grasp the quickie idea very well do I lol. This next set is from UnZipped, it is called Vintage Steam Punk and is a great set with different options of wear. One option not shown is a full length ball gown skirt that is just gorgeous and I still have on, but that you will have to see when you visit the store.
The other fab options are the short style skirt and the fabulous bloomers, the back and front straps on this set are just lovely. I have added the Gloves from the MAiiKI striped strapless set, I love these gloves and have begged forever for them to be sold as seperates in lots of colours.
Again the Grace skin looks so beautiful especially when wearing the gold/tan colours of the set, they really highlight the beauty of the tone of Grace by PXL . The hair again by Magika is the Lulu hair and you cannot really see it well enough on these pics, but it is braided around the back which is just gorgeous.

Pose Maker Challenge
Achariya posted a Pose Maker Challenge, and that challenge is brilliant. I myself give credit to the posemakers I use in every post, as well as the ones that may end up on the cutting room floor, but alot of the time that can just become more info.
My choice for posemakers would have to be Maitreya, not because I am into the whole best, better etc thing, but just for the fact that I honestly believe they changed how we looked at ourselves. Until Maitreya released animated poses/stands I had never moved other than changing between stands in my AO.
I do not know if they were the first and even if they were the 50th it was them that had me then, and still now begging for more. This first stand was in one of my AO’s for over a year, it was my absolute favourite stand… it is the 01.2 CCBirdgirl Stand and I love it, not only did it have such a lovely hip weight shift balance, but the arms stretching out behind you and a raise up on your toes animation while doing so had me in lust with it from the start.
This was my version of the arms stretching up in the air, which I always used to laugh at when people did it back then, and because I was usually working and dealing one on one with customers, this one wasnt too crazy to have in my AO.
In the pic I am wearing the Kellie tank from CKS Designs in the lovely Yellow colour, with the Dark Grey Ligeia jeans also from CKS Designs… actually to make it easier all the clothing today is from CKS Designer Kit Maitland.
All of the wonderful skins I am wearing are the latest release from TULI, this is the Natalie skin a new line of skins in lovely tones and make ups. There are 7 tones in the skins and there are an abundance of eyebrow options in the form of eyebrow bases.
The shading is lovely and I really like the collarbone and detailing on the body. The make up shown is very basic but gives you an overall feel for the skinline, there is also a light smattering of freckles over the nose, not too much that it conflicts with make up… so DEMO DEMO DEMO.
The boots are the Anessa boots by Adam n Eve, named after the lovely Anessa Stine of On Your Toes blog. Fabulous ankle boots with such wide and chunky straps that are so much fun, especially with the ginormous buckle, very stylish and in great textured suedes…try the demos asap.
The hair is one of the New releases from TRUTH , a fantastic newly opened store, with such marvelous new hair in amazing new textures…also finally the Male Skins have been released, so if you are a female fan of Truth and have yourself a man in need, take him there and demo him up.
This style is Wendy and its a lovely side pony updo look ,and I have to say as angry as I am that the textures are all different these new ones are gorgeous.
Definitely the pose that rocked the planet lol. This is the 04 cup50 ccmodel pose by Maitreya, now there had been a few stores that had poses shown in their posters that covered their bits, but they kept those poses pretty much to themselves…I remember one skin maker starting out and asking me where another skinner got a pose like that from…then came the release of this pose by Maitreya and it was instant fandom.
Now as you know I don’t do nakey, but there have been times that lingerie was lacey or in the case of the Love Bug set by CKS Designs, I need a bit more coverage lol, well this pose had all that and is just so lovely in a perfectly modest way.
Now the Love Bug has barely any modesty lol, I think this set is adorable and as I have stated in the past Kit has this habit of creating a panties set that she can run around the grid in for days, this is the latest. I have had this set for a while, and as soon as I unpacked it I had to work out how to wear it to NOT show my parts lol, luckily for me Miss Kit and Kaboodle does her clothing on all layers and layers upon layers upon layers.
For a bit of modesty, you can wear the raised version of the top over the top that isn’t, and it’s cuter if you use a contrasting colour. The panties are a fabulous boycut style, and the socks are just lovely. SO next time you feel in the mood for panty raiding a sim near you, go all Love Bug.
Very Exciting was the fact that the New Autumn style by TRUTH has a so cute headband that comes in a great range of colours, I did tint the white one for the teal colour, but the others are part of the texture change, and the style looks way cute with Love Bug. Just look how fabulous the tummy and bum of the Natalie Skin by TULI looks with this set.
Perfect for babydolls but so sexy was the release of the 08 CCRunway pose by Maitreya, this animation is pure raunchy and has to much attitude I love it to bits. It is the SL equivelant of the Legally Blonde Bend & Snap. As with many of the animated stands you can capture different parts of them with pics that just make them pop.
I use the slow animation option in Advanced>Character menu and it gives you so much more in every animation to take pics of.
The skin in this shot is the Natalie in Gothic tone, this tone is just beautiful..the make up is subtle and the face structure is really prominant in this tone, again the light freckles across the nose really work it, it’s very pretty.
The hair is Erin by TRUTH, this style has all the waves and beauty of a glamour girl, Truth has used a few different methods with the latest styles it seems, and they are all working.
The dress set is Pristine by CKS , I am so glad that Kit did this set in other colours, as it was originally released in only white, now there is a whole slew of pretty colours to choose from, and OMG socks with bowssssssssssssssssss. This dress is another one of those look at me look at me outfits Kit does so well, and I wore it and he did ♥.
The shoes in this pic and the next are again the Mistral heels by Adam n Eve as shown in the past but really needed to be shown again because they rock.
I have shown this dress a few times in the past, I can’t help it it is just that lovely. This is the Posh dress and it comes in lovely satin colours…like Apple and Cherry and Champagne Pink mmmmmmmmmmm. A great cocktail dress for dancing in the arms of a loved one, and wiggle walking to drive them wild *giggles* not that I do that kind of thing :P.
This animation and the next are of course The Diva poses ………………………………………………………. do you remember what you were doing ? lol. I remember the little Maitreya store in the sky being so jam packed full of people that no one could move or tp in so I hijacked a few to hinode to get them there lol.
Another secret is that the first movie I ever filmed isn’t the one thats on Youtube, but it is in fact in the rubbish. Only Beau and Onyx know that I really tried to make a movie of the Diva poses, but having no idea what I was doing, and a really low memory older PC it was a big fail…Beau felt sorry for me though and made a movie that he let me be in showing the Diva Poses , and its the movie that launched them so to speak because it was the first visual of them if memory serves me right.
Movie HERE, anyway the poses are so incredibly beautiful and really had so much going on in them that captured your attention, for me the 19 and 20 diva poses are my favourite because they are so theatrical.
Again using the slow animations function really gives you so many ways to take pics with the one animation.
The lovely New Bangles called Arta are by Dela, they come in different layer sizes and are a new style of creating by Kura which she is very excited about. The hair is Felicity 2 and again a gorgeous New Style by TRUTH, the curls and the incredible bangs of this hair make it a MUST HAVE.
This last look isusing Diva pose 20, as I said totally theatrical and so beautiful. The dress I am wearing is an old CKS Design called Temptress, it comes in lovely asian textures and the gold is one of my favourites, the cut out at the front again shows off the beautiful body detailing in the Natalie skins by TULI.
This is one way to be culturally sexy, the hair rose by Essentia in gold adds that little bit more, and the lovely Felicity style by TRUTH is just VA VA VOooooom.
Great thing about that slow animations function is that you can catch your smiles when you shoot pics :), and if that doesn’t work you can always grab a free emoter from VR Foundry.
Thank you Beauvoir Rousselot of Maitreya for not just the memories tied into the poses/animations for the beauty that you add to my movements :).
A big thank you to ALL the creators of poses and animations across the grid, choosing one to feature was hard, but going back timeline wise was fitting for me at least .

Spring into step
As with many there is much love for Maitreya, everything Beau and Onyx do is always so well planned and executed. There is something really inspiring about this latest release, and didn’t everyone just fall in love with the picks Miabella Foxley took for the adverts, those are amazing.
Ok so my first LOVE LOVE LOVE, is the HighSkirts …anyone that knows me, or reads my blog knows I am all about the System Skirt love, these are beautiful. Not only do you get the wonderful high waisted skirt with the belted top in all layers and all variations- such as resizable and not, but without the belt the skirt is also for me pure heaven.
The last time Maitreya gave me this much system skirt excitement was with the release of the MAiiKI label collaberation with Iki Ikarus of Dutch Touch, so with that in mind I merged some items from the NEW Maitreya with the older MAiiKI, and that is how I ended up dressed for the rest of the day, because YUM.
First off on the outter pics I am wearing the High Skirts with the fabulous Savoir Turtleneck, now these turtlenecks come with options also, you get long and mid length sleeves as well as sheer and solid , the sheer isnt overly but you will need a bra under neath. They are wonderful for mixing and matching, and the colours they come in will have you wanting to create fab looks and colour blends.
Now as much as I love the belts and tops of the HighSkirts by Maitreya , I really love them without the prims too, sleek and smooth these are just fabulous, and when worn with something like the MAiiKI Belted top and the Strapless top – both are from sets, but definitely give you an idea on how much you can do with these skirts.
The hair I am wearing had half the grid trying to tp into Maitreya on release, it is the Piper Hair a lovely loose pony tail.. I really like how its done in a way to show that the hair is loose but structured so well.
All of the skins I am showing today are of course the Gala skins , this time the Breeze as shown in these pics, and the Lovely that will be shown as well. Both skins are part of the latest release from Gala@ Curio and as the last ones, the bodies and faces on these are very beautiful indeed.
The Breeze is a very youthful and innocent looking face, gorgeous full lips and an adorable nose. The lovely has a more serious face, which can take some getting used to, but I think it has such a charming character to it because of that. All three including the Vixen come with the light and dark tones options, which is a great deal having a slight variation in your tone of choice. Two make ups in each, and the freckles as well. The bodies of these skins as I have said and shown in the past is just stunning, so make sure you DEMO DEMO DEMO.
The Shoes I have on in this pic are the Verve heels by Maitreya, these are wonderful for that more sedate but still sexy look.
Adding the Long Scarfs, another New item from Maitreya I was able to really flex my new powers today. The other night Siddean Munro of SLink was telling me about one of our tools we have in advanced that helps when wanting to colour match, I had previously given her the link to colourpicker so it was all relevant lol.
If you go to advanced Menu at the top of your screen – if you don’t see it press ctrl, alt, D all at the same time.
Then Click on UI and scroll down to Show Color Under Cursor…Click on that and the fun can begin.
In the bottom right of your screen you will now see three numbers, in white and tiny so you have to really look for them. They are the RGB numbers for all colours in second life items.
Anything you move your mouse over when this is activated will show you a RGB number.. so then when you open edit on an item and then the tint box you can input those numbers into it as shown.
I had to then use the slider on the side, and add full bright to get the same purple but it was fun and it has so many uses. You do the same moves to turn it back off.
The Crushed Sweater Dresses by Maitreya are snuggly and again beautifully structured, you get options for the skirts of these dresses, one is a fuller sculpted skirt, the other is just the regular micro mini option, both look stunning. These will look great with leggings, or bare legged as shown.
The boots I am wearing are the Billow boots from Maitreya, that coincidentaly match perfectly in colour lol. The Apple hair is a MUST MUST MUST Have for all, whether you are feeling the peace love and mungbeans baby, or you just want to be up with the current trend of everything hippie chic , then whatever reason Apple is for you.
Feeling a tad bookwormis, possibly I am up to no good, with the fabulous Thighstrap Mother Book of Shadows by Dark Eden, these are so much fun and come in a variety of books and colours, with potions and earrings and all sorts of wonderful magical stuffs.
The skirt is another New release from Maitreya in the form of the Jules Skirt , a denim skirt that again is sculpted with either a more overall fitted prim, or micro, with seperate belt option. I am wearing the seperate belt and micro option, I really like this upper part to the skirt giving it a really well finished look.
The Mirli sweaters from Maitreya have always been a must have, so soft and delightful, you cannot go past the backs of these sweaters for added rawr. The shoes are the Sassy Wedges in Cherry, so cute and perfect for the Witch in training look I was going for lol. The lovely pinned back at the side hair is Faye from Maitreya and for those that love long and straight this is an incredibly realistic version of that look.
The studious looking Glasses are SMP by booN, really nice frames and very reasonably priced.
Points to my lips on the left and goes OMG OMG OMG it’s blue opal lipstick, every single girl I know in the mid 80’s had that exact lipstick, LOVE LOVE LOVE, it’s part of the Breeze skins line from Gala @ Curio .
Cleo Skirts by Maitreya are the tighter fit lowrise style we all love, these are an older look denim and the addition of the fabulous Coin belts also from Maitreya makes them very fun to wear.
Do you own the Jam Hoodies, these are again an older item from Maitreya and if you weren’t around when they were released, and somehow managed to not have them yet… do not let yourself down. These are superb , they were on release and they are definitely still now. You get the beautuiful soft sweater with the up or down hoodie option.
Due to the Fashionable Relay Challenge I have been feeling the love for the Slouch Socks these are older than old lol, I even remember the release of these and exactly where Onyx put them at hinode. I am wearing them with the Desert boots by Maitreya, you get the options of laced or unlaced, which is fun to wear both one way or the other, or alternating them.
The Jam Hoodies have seperate hoods sold with hair attached, that was just genius at the time, I felt like a little change and the Mayte hair fit underneath, the shoes are the Frenzy shoes again but this time with the banana heels which are so much fun.
The Strapless Tops by Maitreya are just fantastic, the sculptie work and shape on these is superb…the draped textures are so pretty and the style just gives such a great look to your wardrobe. The batik print is wonderful for casual days, the colours are lovely and they look great with things such as jeans or with the Cleo skirts.
The fab thing about these tops, isn’t just all the layers option, or the fact that each sculpted top comes in three sizes and is resizable, but there is also an AO version WOOHOO, poses by Maitreya in any form are super fabulous, but an item of clothing with a built in AO is again really thinking about what your customers will need to wear your clothing effectively, YAY Onyx and Beau.
The Satin version are lovely with dress pants, or a long skirt. I am wearing the Wednesday pants from Lelutka with these, the fabric on the tops is so soft looking you just know how it feels against the skin.
The Piper 2 hair is the same loose and pretty style, with no tail and more of a loose bun effect, great as an updo or semi dressy. The Jewerly is the Medallion set by Essentia, and the skin is the Lovely by Gala @ Curio, this is a skin that definitely as I said has character, and you will really want to wear it for a few hours to see it on your shape in all atmospheres.

One of my favourite looks in RL is a style that a friend of mine started selling at the markets many many many years ago. By merging vintage pieces, she came up with a look that would be now considered steam punk, but back then was just way too cool.
Recently I saw an item that just brought that memory back and was so excited to be able to show you.
DE Designs is a store that has been around for four years, which explains the recentish release of the 4 Year Gown. This set has multiple looks all merged into one fantastic effect. I was talking about my friends creations up top and this is very in keeping with what she used to do, taking vintage underwear, full petticoat skirts and then using suspenders and corsetry to layer and lift.
This set has a long system skirt that you can see in the middle, a fantastic tail style flexi gown skirt that is sheer tulle at the front sides, and doesnt cover the front of the skirt at all, its magnificent. The pants are a replication of the skirt and are so much fun in unbelievable textures. There is a sculpted waistband that also comes in a tan colour, but my preference in this case was for the black, and the cropped corset top with beautiful ruffle details has both spine and chest attachments so that you can wear divine jewelry with it.
Another fabulous feature of the 4 year set is the Gloves, sculpted tops and cuffs in more of a sleeve style than actual gloves, are something that you can mix and match with many other items. As soon as I put on 4 Year I knew exactly what hair I wanted to wear with it, the Garden Hair from Scribble is excentric and innovative all at once, the bubbles ascending from the top with the curly frond detailing which sits on top like a tiara, it is very out there hair but in many ways it is extremely elegant as well.
This hair reminds me of Emilie Simon’s incredible film clips, actually the whole Scribble Sim does, look HERE ( especially the Flowers song) if you haven’t seen her work before on You Tube, it’s not just the music that is wonderful, but who ever does her film clips is a genius.
The boots I am wearing underneath are the Goth Belt boots from J’s , the straps and buckles on these boots so suit the look of the suspender straps coming down the front of this outfit.
With Jewelry I went again with the Byzantine Cross set from Essentia, I showed close ups of this a few days ago, and there are demos in the store. The Skin is from Pulse and is the new Kissed/ Delight-lined skin, such beautiful skins always come out of the Pulse store, and this one is no exception.
The lips on this and all of the Pulse skins are just beautiful and full, glossier than some in the past and the make up around the eyes is just beautiful, each new skin release shows a little extra in the way Lorac executes her line, whether it be as simple as a slight change to the mouth, or the inner corners of the eyes, she gives you a simple but ever so effective lift, DEMO DEMO DEMO.
The next set also from DE Designs is the Paper Angel set. Again you get an assortment of pieces for this set, starting with the delightful and delicate – and no you arent seeing my bits – underwear and camisole top, take my word for it the front of the camisole is beautiful, which you can see under the jacket partially.
Then moving down to the fabulous laced front pants, these are superbly done, as many try and do this effect down the sides and deal with seam issues, 4 years of dealing with templates really shows when coming to things like this, placing the lacing at the front of the thigh instead you get just as much effect as if it was on the side.
The pants come on both pants and underpants layers, so perfect if wanting to wear boots such as I am. The boots again are from J’s and are the Goth Lace Up boots, which also have bows options but I went for the plain look, such a steal are these boots as you get varying options of wear.
Finishing off the set is both the cropped open jacket, and the gloves, both have cuff detailing with prims and are defintely wearable items with lots of looks to come, the jacket would look especially great with the pants and suspenders combo of the 4 Year Set.
Again from Scribble we have the Stitch Knit/Black/Piggies hat/hair , I love this style not just because of the adorable texture change knitted cap ( changes pattern featured not colour ) but because of the adorable little pig tails that so remind me of the little girls hair in Monsters Inc * giggles and yells Mike Wazowski* .
The skin by Pulse is the Kissed/Magicial-liner, one thing I noticed about this skin earlier, is that without lashes it looks amazing, the lashes are drawn on the skin itself not using the template lashes, so it is effective as all get out, and again look at those lips YUM YUM YUM.
So if you haven’t been to DE Designs in a while, and that is definitely neglectful you have to visit soon, also take note, if its not something you are aware of or have noticed, all the backgrounds of the vendors are done well in advance of releases and are the highlight of DE Designs blog for me, I love when DoC teases us with the backgrounds for releases to come.
