Vacation time

Ok not for me, but so many are going on them lately- wants postcards.

DP Serendipity has released the Vacation sets to make "what to wear" easy.

Two sets one is Brown and Green the other is the Red are just lovely and light, exactly what you need when unwinding on vacation.

Appropriate for anything that might spring up, or just lazing away on your favourite recliner reading your favourite book - I just finished Hollywood Wives I think for the tenth time in my life lol.

Wanting to make sure you dont get too much sun , the Lorie Style from Diversity Hair is a good choice, as it comes with the sunhat as part of the Hat/hair style, and gives wonderful coverage. Make Up free I went with the Celeste Natural Skin from Adam n Eve and to make sure that my toes are suitably loved and shown off , the Gyala Shoes from Enkythings were a wonderful choice to compliment the whole look.

I love that this set has two top options of the sweet sweater look , they are sheer but if you wear both together you get a bit more coverage if sheer isn't your thing, and the bra/kini top that comes with is wonderful -wishes there was bottoms to match.

Adorable polka dot ended Capris with that sailor look double button top are just yummy too , and will look good with lots of light tanks and summery tops you may have in your suitcase.

Enjoy your Vacation real or imagined :o)

Celeste on Faux Thursday

As it isn't Thursday today, that makes it Faux, right ? - lol. I have been wearing this hat/hair for almost three days off and on , more on than off, and I am in loves with it.

I think that Mel may have been poked in the eye a few times, but he is used to getting a mouthful of Hair Roses, so he will survive, and if not kissing it all better will be fun ♥.


Recently Adam n Eve released Celeste, and somehow I was unaware of this beautiful skin release * wags finger at Sachi * . The face on this skin is wonderful, she has incorporated in my opinion all the wonderful characteristics of Pandora and Catherine, and then added even more beauty to it.

I wanted to dress around my Thursday Hat/Hair from Gritty Kitty and the Faux coat also from Adam n Eve was a perfect match, especially seeing as the hat is fully scripted to change textures on hat, band and feathers. The coat is short and swingy, and Faux what more could you want in a coat.

I was going to do pants , but decided I wanted to let the coat be the other main feature, seeing the Hat was already in the lead lol. I opted for the skirt portion of the 1.0 Dress from Popfuzz underneath , showing a splash of thigh before adding the wonderful Skelly Socks from Celestial Studios - I have these in every single pack that was released - they come on underpants and socks layers depending on what your needs are.

Also in the face pics wearing Alyssa Hair by ETD - I always seem to wear this when showing skins lol I feel like im putting on make up at home in it making sure my hair doesn't get in the way .

Finishing off the look with the fabulous Goth Buckle Boots from J's I was ready for my Faux Thursday * Grins* seeing as its Faux it wont last long lol I have sooo much to catch up on , so stay tuned .

Move Along with Bare Rose starring Fiachra Lach

I made another Movie, showing the MENS fashion of Bare Rose, with Fiachra Lach of Essentia as the star , hope you likey

EARSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Ok I had a mini rant, now I'm doing a plea/rant/thingy majooga :P.

When I was typing my mini rant, I was trying not to get all ranty, as it was a post on wonderful things and didnt really want to change that fact, but Efe commented in IM and in the post about the individual prim issue, I forgot about that.

The resizer script does allow for individual prims to be shrunk or bigguned - dont care if thats not a real word :p - but some dont allow for you to actualy move those devil prims that stick out in odd places. I remembered and told her why that was and realised that its something that has to be thrown out there.

Now working closely with a hair creator, Aleri I am about to tell the world you have big ears SORRY :P, you see even though Aleri and many hair creators include their head size in a notecard for that 'perfect fit ' it always seems that its not so perfect,and try and you might you cant work out how thats possible if you do follow their guidelines.

I never followed them, but I do know my hair , and my head as you all do I am sure, and I always know that with HCT Hair I wear small and have to raise it a smidge coz Boo is a shorty puff. ETD I have to move back a smidge, Gurl 6 I fluctuate between medium and small depending on the style and so on.

But Diversity I rarely had to ever move, until all of a sudden last year I was having ear prims issues, it boggled my mind as I hadnt changed head size and chucked a big wobbly at Aleri accusing her of changing hers lol, she hadn't, but still sceptical I used to watch her as she built her hair with narrow slit eyes and then one day it hit me - or maybe she did , I cant remember :p .

Nope it hit me when she was fully bald and we were doing a skins test lined up in a row all bald, and i was like WOAH her ear angle is huge - I am going to get into so much trouble I know it . But this is important because its one of those things people don't think about with hair.

I realised that towards the end of last year, Aleri started doing allot more close to the skull styles , uppydo's etc , and what that meant was she was building more around her ears, with the angle being like hers are; that meant that with my ten angle the prims were embedded in my ears .

I modded my shape to see how far I had to go out to not have to change prims, and a loud scream could be heard for miles *giggles* that so wasn't happening, so back my shape went and I had to overcome my fear of editing lol.

But designers of hair this is my plea, if you make hair and you do include the info of your head shape , PLEASE include ear angle , because it is important and will help allot of newer people who base their first shapes around their favourite hair designer.

Also for the customer consider if you are having to fix that issue allot and with many designers, maybe you slid your sliders for ear angle all the way down to not have any angle at all , which would be why you are having that issue often, possibly with all styles, if your shape is mod , do a little test see how far you have to go to fix it and if you can live with that angle lol then maybe it will save you mucho stresso.

But also consider this , my head size isnt aleris size its smaller, so that also is going to effect things and for many of you, you wont have this issue at all, and Aleris ears suit her shape, I do want to clarify that, this isnt about her ears or her product , it was one of those 'what is causing it ' issues I had that I was able to understand due to watching her work, becuase of her I was able to understand why it happens for me with other creators hair, again due to the fact that ear angle isnt something anyone would necessarily think of in the bigger scheme of things.

End of ranty thinga majooga

DDD Stutter Rap and a little rant :P

Ok I just couldnt think of anything to call the post other than Myyyy Persona, and I think I have been that corny already.

I have had a hat week this week, which is unusual for me to find two excellent hats in as many days.

The first one and the one I am wearing today is the BLD Army Brat hat from Atomic. As soon as I saw it I wanted to scream out HOGGGGAAAAANNNNNNNNN!. It's just that kind of hat :P. This week Persona has a NEW release of the wonderful Iris Knitted Tops, and the Bonnie shorts shown on the right.

I always think of Ladylike and truly feminine when I think of Persona, and I know allot of that has to do with Myllie Writer the Lady behind the store and the fabulous designs. The tops are wonderfully soft looking knits and I wanted to spice that softness up a bit, as well as show off my new hat lol.

Finding the right hair for under the hat wasnt too much of a challenge when I went to my Maitreya folder and grabbed the River 2 style in the new autumn texture, so then what else could I spice up this look with ?. My favourite old shorts are the Strapped Shorts from Junglewear , using the system skirt for the straps, which is too brill.

Then I remembered the Agression Arm Straps from Digital Dragon Designs that I got as one of the many freebies they gave out for a few weeks a few months back, which of course went with the Blade Runner Boots I got from there as well, ready to take on anyone now, I went to the Digital Dragon Designs Skin folder and chose the Drama make up of the Seductive Glow skins - anyone would think I was in a bad mood lol.

Well if I was before playing dress ups , I'm not now. Changing from the Black Iris to the Grey - because if you put a grey in there its going to end up on me lol - I shimmied into the Bonnie Shorts also by Persona , yummy denim shorts that aren't too short, but short enough shorts.

Fastening the straps of my Rockstar boots from Digital Dragon Designs and grabbing the cute bowling bag look bag from Adam n Eve called Bartlett, and my Medallion set Earrings and Bracelet from Essentia and I was prepared for a day out.

The Hakuei hair is by Excess a New to Me store that advertises themselves as androgynous wear. The hair has the resizer script in it for that easy touch editing, and is also only 129L a colour lol yes funny price, but interestingly enough when I bought two styles I ended up with five ?? as in each style had more than one version of the colour I chose , which was pretty cool.

Now I am all for the love when it comes to the ease of this new resizing script, but one thing that is going to be an issue for some is this - IN MY OPINION ONLY , it makes the hair no mod , ok I get why some would want to do that, but what about the people that tint ?

I don't tint often, but I do know of many through working with hair that buy white or silver and make their own colour for every single hair style they own, because that way they do have as close to the same colour for all hair , regardless of the texture or creator, and what I have also noticed is that I havent seen it written anywhere, I wouldnt ever think to check perms on Hair , bad Sasy I know , but I just wouldnt , its been a long long time of conditioning to believe in the no transfer yes Mod yes Copy ideal of hair.

To me this kind of New gadgetry needs a big bold sign with sharp angles lol that says RESIZER SCRIPTED/ NO MOD , because those that do tint are going to be very upset when they get stuck with white hair they cant do anything with. Also with the resizer once you have made all the size changes and you are happy - which I am coz that thing is awesome lol - you have the option then to delete scripts as it causes lag etc , ok great and it says in the notecard make a copy first , which is nice because that way you have one thats still scripted if you have a fat head moment one day :P .

BUT YOU CAN'T MODIFY , so now you have two of the same hair in your inventory and you have to put one on to know its got the scripts in it still and then change to the other so you dont kill a sim , lol too funny .

Anyway rant aside this hair is pretty yummy and the resizer for us non tinters and edit challenged people is a blessing.

WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO

Alexa Lioncourt posted this on Fashion Finds today and I for one am jumping with joy, my friends and I have always shopping in places from the least traffic and found the most incredible places that way, stores that have tiny stores and create incredible work. Now due to the traffic going that means that now TALENT will be the leading drive behind shopping , I am so excited , thank you Alexa for making my day .

by Alexa :
One of the things I do almost daily is check the traffic for the store I manage with my partner. Today, I did my normal search using both the ALL tab and the PLACES tab.


With the redesign of the PLACES tab, the horribly gamed Traffic numbers are now gone! This is a huge improvement that many of us have waited for. No longer do casinos and trashy clubs out rank the legitimate businesses. Camping no longer makes any sense, since the only way you see traffic now is by literally standing on said plot and looking it up.

Both searches now come down to keyword marketing. Yes, this has already been gamed too - look at the wide range of search words clubs use... but we all look at the names that come up in search and know which ones aren't legit.

I look forward to the time when this is rolled into the main viewers. I'm so happy all the designers who are not the Nordstrom shops of SL... the boutique stops that are just trying to design great products and hope to be noticed.

Jill came tumbling after

And doesn't she look hot tumbling, lol.

The very talented Kuranosuke Kamachi of Dela, has released the Jill tank this past few days, and its divine.

Not just any ordinary tank this one, nooooo. Look at the beauty of the leather strips down the front from the collar, and the belt , wow that sculpted belt is incredible, and comes in three sizes for an easy fit.

A Beautiful design you can wear an endless amount of ways, as you can see here I went with two favourites. The Mod look had to happen as soon as I saw the white, grabbing the White Garcia boots also from Dela , and the skirt of the Heresy dress from Canimal.

House of Heart has released some incredible Fashion Lashes as well recently and just look how wild they are. With the addition of my Zebra Stripe Earrings from Woo's, and the Evette hair from HCT I was ready to be caged and GoGo the night away.

Keeping on the fabulous Vivant Biba Skin from Fleur , I went with the Shelly Leggings also from Dela in the Champagne, beautiful colour and you have short and long with cuffs versions in the pack, the BitterBrown Jill top was a treat for the Garcia boots and I was feeling all Equestrian like, no horse but I do have a ridable Camel -now boxed lol .

The NEW Yaya hair from HCT is a stunning french braid style, with the use of sculpties and prims to form this ever so thick loose braid, its gorgeous. The addition of the Vicente Gold bangle from Dela just added a nice touch of Gold and I was off and racing.

Going with a similar but dressier uppydo look with the NEW Clipper Style from HCT , the Red Jill tank is beautiful- there are so many wonderful colours in the Jill tanks. The in black and the NEW Shelly leggingsDarena boots in Red are just fabulous in big squishy floppy bootyness.

All shoes and boots at Dela have Demos, so does HCT Hair and of course Fleur Skins, so you can have a DEMO-Palooza today and try out your own looks.
