My Booty isnt Big and it didnt Cost a thing :P




Big Booty Big Money is a store that always makes me smile when they blog a New Release. . I haven't until tonight had the pleasure of venturing over there, but I had saved the blog so many times to favourites that it might just need its own folder.
Evelyn Edelman the designer behind the wonderful creations has a fun sense of style and really grabs attention with not only the name of the store lol, but also her vibrant use of wit and colours.
Today though even though I had so much to do I just had to run over and grab this incredible FREEBIE that is a sneak peak at future releases. It's called the Simple Russian Preview Dress and there is nothing Simple about it - me thinks Evelyn and June are buddies lol .
There is so many things fabulous about this frock and yes to me its a frock, not only a regular day time pretty Girly Girl frock, but one that morphs into Cocktail Frock with ease. The colour is just stunning with the sheer layers in those delicate prims, But it is definitely the scoop neck capped sleeves kind of style that vintage lovers wish their grandmothers had kept more of in air tight bags for wear in the future.
There is no way you wont feel like Grace Kelly and all those fabulous Icons of the Silver Screen sashaying around in this delight so dont hesitate in getting your own Big Booty over there FAST !. * grumbles about bells ringing while waiting on rez , but I will be back, oh yess you can count on it Evelyn .
The hair is the latest release by Diversity Hair called Mysena, which is an adorable side pony with lovely loose tendrils and face framing waves .
The skin is the NEW release of Darkes Sisters Skins called Bronzed Sleek Skin in Brava Make Up, it is available on the top floor at Digit Darkes - More about that soon on the Digit Darkes Blog.
The shoes that are a delight also are the Volar shoes by Adam n Eves Damen Gorilla . Accessories are the stunning Cathedral set and Cobalt Hair Rose from Essentia .
Have a great Day and dont forget SKIN FAIR

Skin Fair and Freebies for ALL

Its been posted about already, yes March 1st is the long awaited SKIN Fair, Sponsored by Vanity Universe .

Make sure you go as much as possible and see all the incredible content creators showing off their latest skin ranges in this one location.

There are going to be shows presenting skins by designers from all over, some long time Skin Creators and some New...its going to be an incredible month long event.

Just like Hair Fair in the past I have heard some rumours that there will be GOOODIES for all that stop by from the retailers, so you have no excuses not to sample their products, and just think of the social aspect WOOOT !.

One such Goodies Bag I know about is from Adam n Eve ,and the build of their Fair Space is fabulous, look for the red apple in their location and grab the goodies Im about to show you.

First off for the ladies is the lovely Venus skin in Plum, you get ALL 4 tones in both shaved and pubix styles. Prim Lashes, Manicure and pedicure sets and face lights, and if thats not enough there are also 4 sets of eyes to get too- not the ones shown on this pic but two are shown with Dante.
Doing the math roughly, that is about 5K value right there, for FREE- ok that is very rough because I am not sure if Venus is sold as a single skin :P , but still its a BARGAIN.

The other fabulous Free set is the Dante Male Skins by Adam n Eve , isnt he handsome, and just look at those yummy eyes those are the Cocoa and Woodlands eyes shown in the pic, only two of the four that can be yours when you tp to the SKIN FAIR .

Throughout the month I am sure people will be strutting their new skins across all blogs and showcasing many wonderful goodies, so make sure you get an early start on knowing what's what, and who's who.


Flapper Hair worn in the Venus Pics is by ETD. Hair worn in the Dante Pics is Brett by Here Comes Trouble but available in the girls section but looks SO FAB On Men.

CELEBRATION TIMME WOOOHOOO


I'd like to wish every Aussie and all those visitors that come from all over the world to Celebrate a HAPPY Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras this weekend.
For ages my friend and I have said its so suprising that there isnt Tranny wear in SL , that there are no Male Skins with make-up for those that dont want to completely Gender change and that there is wild fashion but nothing really Crazy Costumey- ok there is but you know what I mean.
Then a freebie hit the feed and it was instant OMG its PRISCILLA , four Yip creator of Yips has created an incredible set called Anouska outfit, but its the headress that made me swooon all Priscilla Queen of the Desert like and mum reminded me this evening that tomorrow (our Saturday ) is Mardi Gras, so in I ran to take the real oppurtunity to wear this delish piece and um 'make' an outfit, well I half made it lol .
Ok so the pants I made using a fab texture from a bed I will show you soon that is awesome and has the most heavenly retro textures, its made by Thaumata Strangelove and is available on OnRez and is the most divine sculptie bed with animations included .It's called the PFE Snuggle bed ONREZ and its got pillows too and its all copy, so you can put pillows everywhere and they all have dropdown texture change menus WOOOOHOOOO - I did ask Thau if it was ok to make her texture into pants as I am NOT selling them its just for giggles.
Ok the fabulous hot pink body suit is actualy the white latex Diver Girl set from Adam n Eve tinted , thank god Sachi was on as I needed pants layer for them to go over the undies layer pant pants lol. The hair is the Flapper style by ETD perfect 1920's Cabaret style for this look.
Lastly and thankfully this skin was created just in time for me to be silly - Drag Queens WISH they had this sexy a bustline - The Tan Future skin PINK by Popfuzz Designs is dramatic and perfect for something this wild YAY .
thats it for me being silly have a great weekend EVERYONE !

Stellar Army !

First off I just wanted to explain that always the names of the stores are clickable TP's, in the past they have been SLURLS but from now on they will be direct, so you dont have to go to the slurl page first.




We all have those days when we just want to rough it. Lexi Morgan of Stellar Designs is an all rounder when it comes to creating for her fabulous store. She can go from Sexy, Glam and Casual at the drop of a hat and its always really exciting to see what she comes out with next.

Today Lexi dropped the fab new sculpted Cargo Shorts on me, and they come in 8 fab colours - only three shown - They have their own tucked and cropped V-neck shirt with the sets in black as you can see with the pink ones.

Like I said we all have those days, when we just want to de-glam but still have some style. These shorts are perfect for that, because not just are the colours fab, but the cute little sculptie cuffs and ties just add a bit more to the look.

In the pink shorts as I said I opted for the shirt that comes with in the cropped version, the tucked is achieved by adding the underpants layer for length, which is very handy for those that don't like exposing their middles - as you can see I have no issues with that lol.

I am also wearing the Sunday hair by TRUTH, not just because its fabulous in style and texture, but because on Sundays this is the kind of casual you sometimes need, for doing chores or pottering around the house.
The skin is a NEW skin release by Popfuzz and (hearts) Cupcakes , a wonderful collaberation and I will show you more of the skins closer in the next few posts, this one is Hilary Pale.
While I am about to mention the shoes I may as well do it for all , the shoes are the incredible Desert Boots by Maitreya, and are available for Men and Women - the women's ones comes with ankle socks too- they are available in 5 fabulous colours and also what I adore is the fact you get both laced and unlaced versions so you can be really tidy, really messy or a bit of both lol.

Also from Maitreya is the short and spunky Suya hair I am wearing with the beige shorts, its a close cropped style and suits those that need to get down to business and not worry about fly around hair do's.
Worn with the beige also is the Voodoo Doll t-shirt from TomBoy that is a cute little store at Callie Clines sim, I really like the 3/4 sleeves on this shirt and the worn in comfy looks fits the ensemble well.

Bringing your attention now to the fabulastic Shotgun belt from Route 17 , not so new creator Scotland Beck has been slowly adding accessories to his store, some of you may know his work with Motorcycles in SL and I am begging him to make the parts he adds to bikes as accessories for clothing - fingers crossed.
The detailing on this belt is awesome, each shell and all the texturing is incredibly put together for a really fab look , which now moves over to another favourite the Brawler Belt , worn with the Black Cargo Shorts. On the other side of this great belt is a hanging and then reconnected chain , but its the fun knuckle rings that make it a MUST HAVE, I mean how cool is that , who needs guns to intimidate lol.

If they weren't so many prims it would be a great accessory for a SALE lol, 'GET OUT OF MY WAYYYYYYY!' Make sure you go and check those out and yes they do come in men's versions also, and each belt has clasp attached and not attached options, so that you can personalise your belt with possibly one of the belt buckles he sells separately.

With the Black Cargo Shorts and The fab Brawler Belt, I decided to go a bit darker, and chose the Love Hurts set by CKS Designs to pilfer pieces from. There are so many pieces to this set and torn and not torn options, I went with the torn shrug (comes on all layers YAY Kit) the torn stockings , and the great Love Hurts Tank, this set like all of Kit's is just put together with so many options in mind and the combo was fun to stomp around in.

Now of course like so often, the second life fairies shone down on me and just as I was about to click, Bishwear sent a NEW release notice and I couldn't help but take a peak, one of the hair styles jumped out and said GET MEEEEE, so off I ran, grabbed it and hopped back up to pose.

The style is Chai and I haven't shown it well at all :o( but you are going to see it when you go and get this weeks FREEBIE , oh yes you will , because its a little known fact that DBS Heart/Shyone Lehane reaches into her inventory every week and fishes out something she has not released before and throws it in a vendor for all to have FREE , yes FREE ....this week is clothing but she swaps between hair, clothes and skins...so make sure you go over every week and grab the goodies.

What drew me to Chai was that its a style that has beaded braids at the front amongst the lovely flex , but then at the back is set in two braids as well, its very unusual and I will have to show a better pic later for sure, as I will wear it again I know it :o).

So go get your comfy groove on at Stellar Designs, and check out all the other goodies shown here too ...have a fab night/day everyone .

IMPORTANT MUST READ

Its what everyone has been talking about, demonstrating and taking extreme measures...well the time for that is over as seperate individuals trying to fight a growing battle....now some incredible people have gotten together and they need your help.

Info from notecard under the pics

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
HEADLINE: Content Creators Bare All to Raise Awareness for Intellectual Property Rights
SUBHEAD: Campaign features prominent Second Life creatives naked in first round of ads

An intellectual property rights awareness campaign launches Friday featuring some of Second Life's most well-known content creators posing in the buff. The idea behind the ads is simple; educate as many of Second Life's residents as possible about the issues, effects and consequences surrounding theft in Second Life (SL).
The first round of ads in the campaign have been in production for the last two weeks and will feature Sachi Vixen and Damen Gorilla of Adam n Eve, Minu Palen of Minnu Model Skins - MM skins, Tigerlily Koi and Haedon Quine of Calla, Nyte Caligari of Nyte'N'Day, Caliah Lyon of Muse Fine Jewelry and Stroker Serpentine of Strokerz Toyz.
The idea for the campaign sprang from talks and group IMs regarding the growing problem of theft in SL, and the frustration many creators feel playing a largely defensive strategy which is basically sitting back and waiting for their creations to be stolen and then filing DMCA requests with Linden Labs (LL).
"I just got tired of hearing from friends who'd had something stolen about how frustrating the process was for them," said the campaign's creator, Chez Nabob. "I started thinking about trying to develop a more offensive strategy, one that would allow content creators to take charge instead of constantly being victimized. So I considered what some real-life groups had done to raise awareness for their cause and landed on the concept PETA uses in their anti-fur campaigns. I thought parodying those ads would be an effective way to shed more light on the issue among the broader population of SL."
The campaign's participants hope to enlist the help of their fellow content creators in blanketing SL with the ads by having the ad textures placed inside sale vendors along with whatever items each individual creator sells. When a customer comes into a participating shop and purchases an item with an ad texture inside, the ad will be delivered along with the item the customer bought. Additional ads will be made available in world for display in stores and at events while other ads will be placed in SL-related publications and blogs.
"Basically the idea is to educate consumers about what's going on out there. Theft is becoming rampant with thieves getting more and more organized all the time. Many residents unwittingly purchase items that are actually the stolen intellectual property of another content creator. We want the greater public within SL to see this campaign and understand the issue as a result," said Nabob. "We want residents to understand that, for many content creators, SL is their livelihood and theft here is no different from theft in the real world. Intellectual property theft is illegal and actionable in courts around the world regardless of whether it happens in real life or inside a 'game.'"
If the campaign can raise enough awareness among SL's residents, the hope is that people will join the content creators in lobbying SL's creator, LL, for more safeguards to help protect the intellectual property of content creators.
"What we want people to understand is that theft doesn't just cost content creators revenue, it has a cost to everyone in SL," Nabob said. "It costs residents when their favorite creators can't devote time to making new items because they're too busy chasing down thieves or they quit producing altogether because of theft. It costs thieves when they're caught and prosecuted in a real-life court. And ultimately, if we cannot start to get some safeguards in place, theft will drive content creators out of SL, and LL will then begin to feel the costs of an in-world economy that's been ravaged by thieves."
The hope is that enough awareness and education can take place as a result of the ads that a dialogue can be opened with LL and third-party ventures that will lead to a stronger, more robust system for dealing with the problem of theft.
"Due to technological shortcomings there will always be theft in SL, but our desire is to have the scripters, texture artists, builders, shoe makers, skin makers, hair makers, fashion designers, etc. talk with LL and other third-party developers and see if we can deliver some methods to help make things better for content creators and residents, and tougher for thieves," said Nabob. "That's the ultimate goal."
The campaign ads are being distributed to content creators in-world through creator-focused groups. Additionally, creators can get the ads here:

Lavish Michelle with Goodies

I said that I was able to show you some more of the Michelle skin by Damiani, bodywise. As you can see with this post featuring again the incredible talent of Katy Angel of Lavish Style.

In the first picture I am wearing Michelle in Fair Smoky Eyes Fair Lady, its a beautiful make up, with soft lips but dramatic eyes. As I was showing alot more skin I opted for a bit of a darker tone - But remember you can modify them - as you can see the detailing and shading on these skins are as I mentioned just divine.

The lingerie is the beautiful Chalice set in black by Lavish Style and it was instant love. It has 5 beautiful pieces in the set and you can really see how much work and dedication Katy has put into making it as sensual and sexy as she can.

You get the smaller panties that are laced edged and very detailed, to enhance those fabulous buns that Michelle has, then there is a booty shorts option where there is a touch more coverage and in this gorgeous fabric its more of a vintage pinup style. The bra cups well, and the shape and pattern again are outstanding, with such delicate straps that meet at the shoulders.

I positively adore the cami style top though on this set, as its such stunning work that, well you know what I am going to say , ADD A GOWN SKIRT lol. The sheer little skirt is just adorable too, for those nights you want to pamper your partner, Chalice is definitely the set to do it in...and if you want to pamper your girls, then partners get over to Lavish Style and start shopping as the items are Transfer - Always check though prior because stores do change policies, be safe :o) .

You can see the Chalice also comes in this stunning Red colour too. This time I opted for Michelle Skin in Fair Emerald Ruby, the lips matched perfectly to the tones in the Chalice set, and the eye make up is just divine - You can see it closer in earliers face posts.

Katy of Lavish Style has recently also released more Lingerie Sets so you have more goodies to see when you arrive.

The hair I am wearing in Chalice Black is Karen, and in Red Chalice is Katie, both are ETD styles and again I wanted styles that were drawn back enough from the face to accentuate Michelle by Damiani.

Another set I have been dieing to show you from Lavish Style is Amelia, and yes even though I was only going to shoot Lingerie I couldnt help myself.

Also with skin tone on hand called Sophisticated, it seemed a perfect combo.
First off the Gloves do not come with the set, they are the fabulous work of Roslin Petion of Fleur, and I have shown the long gloves in the pack previously I wanted to show the medium you also get as with this Vintage style dress its a superb combo.

Amelia struck me as soon as I saw it, for not only the dynamic style and colours, but I was intrigued by the belt. Was it prims, sculptie or texture? the glossy shine and detaling to it has it so realistic looking, it seems to pop right off the advertisement. It is in fact texture, and again shows Katy's wonderful talent.

The strapless style and beautiful full skirt are such a treat in such deep rich colours. The back actualy is low back with straps meeting at the base - Sorry I didnt get a better picture of that, runs off to the Lavish Style site and links to a pic HERE . Now as I was all in pin-up mode after the beautiful Chalice sets, I continued that with the lovely Christina hair by ETD, with the lovely waves and the kiss curl at the forhead on the left side, its a charmer.

The Michelle skin this time as I said in the Sophisticated tone and Emerald Ruby make- up just enhances the overall combo, then for my feet I wanted to keep that red/black combination and I went with the darling Classy Sling Back heels by Digital Dragon Designs in Red/Black and they are just gorgeous! the sheen on them is perfect for the sheen on the dress and gloves.

I hope you enjoyed the follow up of Michelle by Damiani and Lavish Style pieces, make sure you run over and DEMO DEMO DEMO, and dont forget presents of lingerie are always fun for both giver and reciever lol.

Michelle skin from Damiani

The other day the lovely Ben Vanguard jumped into my box and was talking to me about a Newish Skin Maker called KaoZ Koba.

Kaoz and his partner Pompeja Rossini own the store Damiani, and there they have created some incredible mens and womens skins, shapes and clothing.

Kaoz was hard pressed to find a Male skin for himself that he would be happy with, so he went ahead and created his own.
Having a background in Arts and his partner being a beautician, the combination quickly led to demands by customers for the female equivelant.

Presenting Michelle to you all today, this beautiful skin comes in 3 tones and 12 make-up options.

Fair, Sophisticated -Such a charming way to describe the paler skin tone - and Tan.

The make-up is beautifuly done and all skins are actualy mod, so not only can you add gloss but can also alter the tones of the skins, which is perfect for those days when you want a little more or less tan.

The other bonus to the skins is that with every make up you choose, there is an additional skin in the pack of a lipstick specialy created to go with the eyeshadow choice, for a more fantasy/theatrical look I would think.

As usual no nakey on my posts, but I assure you the body of these skins is superb also. I did take some great picks with some lingerie to post later, so you get to see a bit more.

But I want you to go and grab those DEMOS and see first hand how wonderful they are. Not only is the shading lovely, but the mouth shape is divine, and hello look at that make up.

There is beautiful creamyness to the shadows that have a sheen that can move easily from casual with the softer lips to stunning for the evening.

Another of my favourite things other than that yummy yummy nose is the names of each make-up, I even numbered them so I would get it right this time lol.

1. Blue Eyes Fair Lady
2. Blue Eyes Red Kiss
3. Cornflower Cotton Candy
4. Cornflower Genesis
5. Emerald Oasis
6. Emerald Ruby
7. Leila Cotton Candy
8. Leila Genesis
9. Smokey Eyes Fair Lady
10. Smokey Eyes Red Kiss
11. Wild Thing Cherry
12. Wild Thing Passion

All the make-up pictures are done wearing the Michelle Sophisticated Tone, I really like this tone as it seems to be that in between tone we all crave some days, especialy us tan girls. But remember they are Mod so you can up and down those tones to your hearts delight, just copy and past the skins and play play play so you dont lose the original settings- I hate when I do silly things like that.

I cant wait to see more incredible skins, both male and female come out of Kaoz and Pompeja, as well as some incredible fashion and I also hear poses are in the works....sounds to me like they may just become one of the big italian fashion houses, dont forget to go and grab those DEMOS from Damiani.

The hair I am wearing is Alyssa by ETD , I love this sculpted headband style as its perfect for showing off your lovely skin and make-up. I am also wearing Vintage Lashes in the Pictures by Nuclear Boutique.

Shoes Glorious Shooooooes, and Pants and Shrugs and OMG HAIR !

Ok so as I said earlier I took time out and came back to the grid flip flopping around like a stunned mullet - ok not really but it sure felt peculiar. First off I hit What's NEW at got an eye full of the yummy goodies from ETD.

By goodies I mean not only was there hair and clothing newness but SHOOOOOEEEEESSSSS, I had been skipping around all day in my ballet wedge heels by ETD, and then come on to find not only has Elika created some NEW Ballet heels but GAZOOKS these incredible Heel Strap Platforms, that are sculptalishus.
When I saw them it was instant love, when I tried on the DEMO more love; and when I saw all the colours well that was something me, and my shoes will keep a secret from now until the end of time.

The shoe shape is very dignified and has a real vintage look to the shape and structure, with the addition of the charming strap to the back of the heel...what is its purpose back there ? absolutely nothing! isn't that awesome lol.

I just adore the colours, they are rich and vibrant with a real depth that will go with all seasons. I was so excited once I got them home that I had to wear two at a time to see them as quick as possible - Ok I cannot tell a lie, I do that all the time, if I have more than one colour.

I was talking to Elika and she was saying how the pants from Celestial Studios looked great with her New shoes, and well as I had already been over that way earlier to LaLa FooFoo I thought that was a perfect addition and off I went. I was a bit unsure where to go and Elika said there should be a pants wall or a wall of pants, lol something like that she said.

Wall of Pants there was, Starley has been busy and not only do these pants come in both layers, but they come on both layers for tight and once for loose fit and then you have 3 prim options, bootleg, flared and skinny leg. So before I knew what was happening it was click click clickety click and I was off again.

So there I was all ready on my stands- yes I have lots of stands in my house lol- and I was about to start changing into my Elika-LaLa Canimalial Studio ensemble when I realised OH LORD I need hair, so I poked Truth Hawks of TRUTH Designs, and well by the time I said I dont need you now Im tping to your store I ended up with a big present from the Handsome Aussie Man.

I so can't work out what to call this now so its just 'Look from all those fab people' lol hows that work for ya?.

So here goes it, first off when I went to La La FooFoo-dont you just love that name- I was so excited at the goodies inside and click click click I did get more than you will see now, but you will get to see it eventualy I promise.

The shrugs in an abundance of gorgy colours is what I am showing from there today, and Larue now has her own store on the Celestial Studios Sim so you dont have to travel far, and its such a cute little store too.

The first Shrug is the Beige and I just love this colour- had me cursing that I didnt get the stone or tan pants at Starleys lol, but I do adore beige and red so it worked out. They come on the shirt and jacket layer, and with or without buttons on the side of the collar, which I think is a great option.
I matched the Linen Heel Strap Platforms to the mix and then needed to play with the middle......as I said I love beige and red, so I shimmied into my new Red Cords with the skinny legs from Celestial Studios , and I was loving my look. But my middle middle was still um NAKEY, and the red of the Cords was deep.
Inspiration hit in the form of G.L.A.M and the Bustier Pencil Dress- Ok so this week you have seen the aviator glasses that came free and now the top, I swear eventualy you will see the dress. I reached in and plucked out the crimson top and thankfully it was mod so made it a touch darker and VOILA! - Yummy Yummy Yummy I got love in my tummy.

Now of course because I am only thinking of you, and how SL can be hell to tp some days, I opted for the Canimal Essence Mystery of Simplicity skin for all the pics - hee hee- so that you can mosey around all four stores. But after that you are going to have to pull up your new pants, dig your toes into your new shoes, and scrunch up the sleeves of your shrugs and take on the TP challenge, because there is Hair to be had at TRUTH!.

This style in the first pic is called Gypsy and I adore it for not only the overall style, but also its realism......as any girl with dead straight hair that length will know, you cant get away with having a side pony, without lots of hair from the side you are pulling over from escaping, you can cheat and add lots of clips and spray, but its just not as pretty as letting those pieces fall where they may and making a statement.

Next we have the Chocolate Shrug and its yummy enough to want to eat. What is even better with chocolate PINK! not as a food of course - mind you it does have a rocky road kind of thing going on - but Deep Brown and Soft Pink are a delightful combo.

The pink I am referring to is of course TA DAAAAA! the top of the Scarlet Dress I blogged earlier today from Cachet, YAY I got to show you so soon how great it looks as a top.

Then if you go lower you will see the divine Brown Cords again by Starley and again in the skinny fit, I really love all the sculpty leg options on these pants and they fit soo snug around the hips. The addition of the Brown Heel Strap Platforms was perfect, dont you agree lol and then to top it all off again some gorgy hair by Truth called Fifth Avenue, which is also sculpty flicky goodness.

The look next to it would alternate well if you swapped them all around, this time the pants are the Ultra Dark Jeans by Celestial Studios, with the addition this time of one of Popfuzz Designs tank tops in blue, I really love her tanks as she does this cool thing with the shading between the breasts that really allows the fabric to look detached from the skin, for a more realistic look.

The hair from Truth is Angel, a lovely side swept bangs medium length do, that has really nice volume to it , and I am so delighted by his red packs and brown packs.


The next style in the fantabulous Hat is the Angel 2 style from TRUTH, and the hat has dropdown on touch options of plaid- love plaid- or plain in various colours, but seriously can you get better than Grey Plaid?.

I lectured or did I suggest, I cant remember, that Truth neeeeds to sell this hat seperate, as its so cute I want to wear it with other hair tooooo. But he has plans for more sculpted hats in the future so keep your eyes peeled for those- I say we give him a fortnight and if he hasnt made more we get that hat seperately lol.

The pants this time are the Grey Cords and you know I loves me the Grey, they are yummy and so well shaded in all the worn in areas, Starley did a fabulous job on all these new pants, and today is just a taste you neeeed to go look at all of them. Elika didnt let me down, there is a fabulous Steel colour in the Heel Strap Platforms from ETD , and I can see me wearing those with so many many things.

Also the magnificent Shrug by LaLa FooFoo that also had a Grey to make me a very Happy Vegemite. The versatility of the shrugs is so wonderful too, even though today I am showing them in a more casual combo, they are perfect, especialy the buttonless ones for wearing with pretty frocks on cool nights.
The lovely two tone tank I am wearing underneath; I also bought today from Style Your Destiny by Teagan Blackthorne. Its grey so it was a given I had to have it , and I really liked the shape with the darker grey accentuating the cleavage.

Now lastly we have the Pink Cords and these I had to have coz really I mean HELLLLOOOO! but then they caused me all sorts of drama, because how many pinks are there in SL ?.
Because I was going for contrast and you hadn't yet seen the black Shrug I went that route, but then hit a dead end on what pink top to wear with.
Believe it or not after about 45745896541223 tops I worked out there was only one choice PURPLE sobs* lol j/k , there is definitely a slight purple tint to the Celestial Studios pink , so thats the turn I took.

The tank is again from Popfuzz Designs and comes on both layers in one of her capri and tank sets but I do believe from my constant harping in the past, Pop did end up making them seperate - ok probably more so because others requested it, but I like to feel I do something lol.

The Black Heel Strap Platforms by ETD are a Must Have for sure, well all of them are really, but regardless of what you do in SL from Corporate to Casual, these shoes will compliment any look. The last hair style and also all are must haves- hell everything I showed today is, scratch that every thing I show every day is lol.

This hair is the Missy Hair from TRUTH Designs and again a mix of sculpties and prims to make a soft feathery side pony that is just a step up from Casual, and whether adorned by a Hair Rose or not can slip easily into formal.

So off you go to LaLa FooFoo , then Celestial Studios...skip across to ETD and then slip and slide to Canimal , once you have all you need take the challenge and teleport to Truth Designs DONT FORGET The latest 1L fat pack he has of hair in his store , and once you are ready to hightail to home DONT , because you still have to go to Popfuzz Designs via Style Your Destiny and GLAM lol

As God is my witness

Today unlike other sundays for SL I had real life errands to run, taking me out of world for a measly 3 hours.

But it seems that in that 3 hours the whole world changed lol. ETD reopened, Grand Openings and Rez Day events happened and Cachet opened its doors......but where the hell were the fireworks.

I actualy IM'd Minnu with that exact question lol-it really is annoying having me on your friends list.

Cachet hasn't been a secret, as many that attended the GLAM Magazine Event a few weeks ago all got a sneak peak, and we have seen models that were fortunate enough to wear items from the show share with us the items on their blogs YAY!.

I ran over and even though I had to tackle the landing hub over riding the tp to the actual store- be persistant its worth it- I didnt go in because I knew I'd get in everyones way lol so cam was my only solution. A lovely large store which is yet to be filled up, thankfully that means more to come but also the ability to move around without getting stuck in corners.

The clothing is displayed on racks and there is as promised alot of delish black items to tantalise and tease....but one item on its own rack just blew kisses to me and I succumbed to its charms.

The dress is Scarlet and its designed by the lovely Thora Charron, who if you don't know is Minnu Palens business partner and the very talented woman behind the Minnu Male skins......melts coz they are so hunky.

The Scarlet dress is a heavenly chiffon style formal dress, in a delicate blush pink colour, the bodice is a delight to enhance and shape your cleavage area and falls beautifully to two layers of skirt on seperate attachments so that you can wear it either way. The top straps are actualy also prims and you can move them around to give a more off the shoulder look as I did.

Also with the dress is the lovely creamy leggings that Thora has called "Stalkings" and they are seamed to perfection and tiny tiny fishnet, what I also adore about this dress and am bummed that it ended up cut is that the top is divine in its own right, so either your favourite gown skirt or just some dress pants and you have a whole other look.

Great things are going to come out of Cachet with Thora and Minnu at the helm and I can't wait to see more. The skin I am wearing is Minnu Model Skin Pale Gray , the hair is Sofia by ETD and a divine Up-Do I think nearly everyone on the grid has and if you dont then DEMO DEMO DEMO.

The shoes are the wonderful Volar shoes by Damen Gorilla of Adam n Eve and he has made such cute little doves on the backs of these all sculptured shoes, and the colour choices are fabulous. The one thing about this dress is that the top half attaches to chest making it difficult to wear necklaces unless moving them around, I opted for a set that doesnt have a necklace because its got enough of a look in just the earrings and bracelet, its the Medallion set by Essentia in Silver as well as the silver Hair Rose.

Make sure you go check out Cachet and grab all the goodies I am sure you will love.

Laynie & S.Y.D Grand Opening

The Grand Opening HERE information is pretty clear on the adorable invite created by Laynie Link and Teagan Blackthorne, two incredible women who have been friends for over ten years in RL now- bet you didn't know that did you.

In those ten years they have been through some incredible things, supporting each other etc , and while today is supposed to be a joyeous occasion its a bit marred by the fact that someone decided that their own beliefs were greater than decency and compassion for others.

I had the pleasure of blogging Vanessa a long time ago on Appearance Mode- I went by and got my old pic lol - it is still one of my all time favourite Laynie-Wear dresses as its not only beautiful but so versatile. Some (censored) person has decided that because Laynie is extremely giving of her time and creativity to help others, that they would pay that back by stealing her creation and flooding the grid with it.

What they have done is, well there are no words really because its beyond comprehension to me that anyone could be that foul. But the good news is that Laynie has put it in her store for free and the Kiosk remains there for people to make donations to Autism Speaks a charity that many are getting behind... so I urge you not only to attend this great occassion today, but to get the Vanessa dress and dig deep for the cause.
