Tik Tok Becomes "Natural Beauty" And Celebrates With New Release Olga Skin

Miah McAuley has changed the name of Tik Tok to Natural Beauty and to celebrate the occasion, she has released a new skin called Olga. Available in Fair, Tan, Deep Tan and Dark, a fat pack of five skins will only set you back a meager $1,370 L's. Now that's an excellent price for five glorious faces.

Miah has created a new group for her new label and wants you all to join to show off how fabulous you look in Natural Beauty Skins. Click HERE to join.

Olga is a classic, refined skin and comes with or without cleavage. I have shown the skin in the fair tone with cleavage. Great skin Miah and congratulations on the name change. Olga is the perfect skin for your launch because it definitely screams Natural Beauty.

City Glam by Sascha's Designs

The mix and match options consistently offered by Sascha Frangilli from Sascha's Designs are undoubtedly value for money when you look at these different looks I've put together from her new release outfit called 'City Glam'...yes girls.  One outfit!

Chalice was dating from one end of the globe to the other and apart from her toothbrush and undies, only had to pop the City Glam box in her carry on luggage.  She's always off the plane first because she travels First but despite priority check through, she didn't have to wait at the carousal.  Off the plane and into lover boy's arms in 10 minutes all thanks to Sascha's Designs.

The Tik Tok Rita Make Up Range

I did want to mention that in this photo set I used the wonderful Tik Tok make up combination designed by Miah McAuley for those with Viewer 2 capabilities. She has created a nude skin called Rita in various tones. To use with Rita, Miah has opened up a world of color for the lips, eye make up and even the runny mascara look that I personally love. The options are simply endless BUT despite all the choice, this entire range is excellent...like wonderful quality.  I had so much fun putting together the combination's.  Entire body care at it's very best in my opinion.  Stunning job Miah and I strongly, STRONGLY encourage you to go demo.

New at Sascha's Designs - VIVA LA VIDA aka The Dress Of A Million Sparkles

Need a dress, but can't decide if you want to make a grand or understated entrance? Need a dress of impeccable quality for an incredible price? Need a dress that turns heads for all the right reasons? Then look no further than Viva La Vida, Sascha Frangilli's newest gown. Available in Beige, Black, Delfts Blue, Gold, Lilac, Olive, Pink, Red and Teal (shown here), the dress comes in an array of choices such as the battleship skirt and sucker skirt, just to name two.

Even if you aren't a BIG FORMAL DRESS kinda gal, or guy, Sascha's gowns just do something to an avi. They transform you into a creature of loveliness with their stunning colors, cut, textures, and the material movement is second to none.

Look deep into the dress and you'll see a million sparkles capturing the light as you sashay into your SL. This is a stunner girls n boys.

Pants Off Friday....Come Join Me.

Every Friday I go shopping without pants. You should try it sometime. It's very liberating.

I love this top from Sea Hole in French Blue. It does actually come with a skirt but hey, it's pants off Friday for me so it doesn't get a look in. The designer behind Sea Hole is Drinkinstein Sorbet and as you can see from this gorgeous top, she's amazing. Keep your eye on her is my prediction.

I didn't need much of an excuse to don my new Kalnins Color Change Promenade Boots with my gelatti colored Maitreya Slouch Socks.

Any chance to bring out my Farfelu Bag from Paper Couture is always a joy and given I only have limited opportunity to wear my 2010 Tiara, there was no choice.

And just in case you all forgot, I'm Damn Hot. A cute little accoutrement from Tik Tok.

Ely And Tuli Make Beautiful Music Together.

What happens when a volcano meets a tornado? Sorry Eminem for borrowing your lyric but that's how I describe the creative partnership of two of SL's artistic dynamo's. You get a force to be reckoned with, that's what. Elysium Eilde from Elymode and Tuli Asturias from Tuli Skins have come together to form a fantastic skin fusion centered around Tuli's new release Jade skin.

How utterly exciting to view the fruits of their respective labor in the form of the new Jade make up range specifically designed to be worn with the Jade skin. Ely has gone to town in designing these stunning make ups that are going to change the way we style our personal outfits and for models who appear on runway and in fashion shoots. They are just so vibrant and luminous.

When you think that Ely and Tuli have a combined life in world of 8 years, how lucky are we that these two merged their talents in one skin/make up? The gorgeous results are there for all to see.  Thank you Ely for sharing these gems with me.

And she wore?

Tik Tok Stella Skin...Recently Released.

I have so enjoyed the evolution of Miah McAuley's skin label, Tik Tok. Her recent release of her new line called Stella is a triumph in my opinion. Miah dropped these on me a little while ago and to be honest, I was struggling for time to get everything I had planned to blog on the blog. Tonight I had a few moments and tried on Stella. I'm so glad I did because I really do love this skin. Available in Light, Medium, Suntan and Dark, I chose to show the Light tone. The make up names are called Cat, Jade, Lady, Nude and Silver as shown below.

They are classy, elegant make ups with soft eyeshadow and glossy lips. I've shown the skins using the cleavage option. I also really like the brow shape on these.

I am wearing this gorgeous little lingerie set called Crystal, a freebie from Noon Twine's shop called Noon.

I recently watched Fabulous Fashion with Angie Mornington. I love Angie's show and was thrilled to watch two episodes featuring Sevenstar Amat from Stitch By Stitch as guest designer and another with Jennaa Loire as guest stylist. I love both these people, not only because they are sweet darlings, but also for their immense contributions to SL fashion and lifestyle. Good on you girls.  Do check out their episodes on Fabulous Fashion. Jennaa's appearance on the show led me to check out Fairy Tale jewelery. The ring, earrings and necklace are all group gifts but I would suggest you go over and look for yourself. The detailing of the pieces is stunning.

Last but not least, I'm wearing the Vanity Hair piece in black called Venice and a black hair base from Tiny Bird that allows you to wear it with any skin.

Thank you Miah for again allowing me to blog your amazing skins. I love Stella big time.

After my shoot I jumped in the spa and enjoyed the beauty of my surroundings.

Fox In The House.

I'm always tickled to receive a package from Fashionboi Landar of House of Fox because I always know I'm in for a treat. I wasn't disappointed when I hastily whipped on the contents to find this razor sharp number called Couture in Black that included a hat and huge diamante crusted earrings. What I always appreciate with Ms Landar's creations is the fact that she makes skins as dramatic and intense as her clothing line so you can really go to town and let your inner Ga Ga out to play.

I couldn't resist showing off my golden booteh's from Bax too. These boots are fab, fab, fab.  Look at the details - skilled shading and realistic leather folds around the lower boot.  Brilliant.

Dready Or Not

Having dreads is one of my unfulfilled dreams but I know I will never follow it through. I just can't go the next step and get them done...I'm a chicken with my hair you see. So living vicariously through Chalice, I found an awesome dread do at Simay Creations complete with funky hair scarf. To me dreads evoke a grounded, earthy feel so I went for a look that was comfortable, casual and cotton perfect for browsing treasures at Les Puces in Paris.

I do rather love this dress called May that I recently picked up as a freebie gift from Flowerdreams Creations (LM below). Lots of color and the skirt part fits really well under the halter top. Again I'm wearing my new Mojoti eye wear, this one is called Rita comprising of lovely tortoiseshell rims in the style of Ray Bans. I teamed this with the Courtisane opening gift bag called Sacoche which I just love and hadn't worn before.

I do love an eclectic mix of textures, patterns and colors and this combination draws together seemingly unrelated pieces to create a variation on my hippie chic theme.

Tik Tok Shapes

Miah McAuley, owner and designer of Tik Tok is making shapes. She sent along Lil, an incredibly sweet Asian inspired shape and as you can see from her vendor poster below, Miah provides a style card if you want to recreate the exact look. I love her picture of Lil and think she has nailed this gorgeous Asian creation.

Gorgeous isn't she?  Lovely work Miah.

Lil is selling for 500L modifiable and 300L non-mod. I will be bringing you the other shape called Selena also. Lil is so petite yet curvaceous compared to towering Chalice who in model mode, stands as tall as an avatar can get and is bean pole skinny.

I also wanted to show you this retro styled swimsuit from Meghindo's Touch Of Sensuality. I had never visited Meghindo Romano's store before but I was very impressed and had lots of fun browsing the seemingly endless floors of clothes. I really love this little number...the flower and crystal on the shoulder is as cute as can be and the texture is stunning.

The last two shots were also taken in world. Who knew that you could play around with the water settings so much that you could get a stunning effect like this? I've done it before but I was thrilled with the gorgeous colors produced on this occasion.

I'm A Lady Goddamn It.

I wanted to show you a couple of jewelery items from upcoming designer Miah McAuley (Tik Tok) and to advise she is part of the Alternative Fair that commences on 22nd of April.

I don't know Miah but we have spoken in IM and I just love her genuine and earnest attempts to make a success of Tik Tok so the least I can do is give a shout out about her when I can. It's heartening to see various bloggers reviewing her new release skin, Lola, but I thought I would wear her jewelery pieces and start from there building an outfit. I must say I really like this look. It's  simple but elegant IMO and something I would definitely wear in RL. The necklace and earrings are called Magic and the piece placed on the derriere is called Damn Hot Gemstone Body Art. Ever so cute.

I found a review copy sent to me by the amazing Sascha Frangilli from Sascha's Designs, a versatile little number called ZieZo with various skirt options and a huge variety of colors.  God knows where Sascha gets her inspiration and she designs so many items that I can't imagine how she comes up with names....Chalice, Chalice, Chalice if you ever run out.

Chalice is definitely a blond. I do try other colors but they just don't look right on this face that seems made for blond hair. While sometimes I think she is kind of boring looking, it's how I identify myself in SL and have now given up trying to find that unique look that everyone seems to want. Anyway here are the rest of the pics and take a look at my bum signage.

The Designers:
Hair: Mila in Swedish from Truth
Skin: Elle in Fair by Belleza (group gift)
Eyes: Expressive Eyes in Blue #4 by Nany Merlin
Dress and Gloves: ZieZo in black by Sascha's Designs (work with Empire Skirt)
Necklace and Earrings: Magic in Black by Miah McAuley from Tik Tok
Bodyart on derriere: Damn Hot by Miah McAuley from Tik Tok
Shoes: Salience from Maitreya Gold
Purse: Black Sequin Clutch Purse from Red Rabbit Boutique

Thanks for reading and I'll be back soon with another post.

Back, Crack and Flap - My Ecclectic Thoughts

Pardon my back but I'm sitting at my desk thumping out another post after finally completing my job with AVENUE for the La Dolce Vita Fashion Show being held at AVENUE at GOL on Saturday 17th 1PM.  You all know AVENUE do it better so go and see some wonderful Italian inspired fashion and enjoy the after show party in the A Lounge.  Rusch, Jesika and the gang never disappoint.

I've started the ZombiPopcorn Hunt and must say I'm having fun.  Have you ever started a hunt at the same time as other people you don't know?  I have and I seem to get into this unspoken competition mode where I start racing the others without them knowing.  But I think they're also trying to race me too.  We stalk around the shops trying to covertly click on the popcorn trying not to attract attention...it's so funny.  Anyway I mucked up the hints.  I skipped a hint at LeeZu's so thought I was looking for furniture.  When we all landed together, I laughed like Snidely Whiplash when they all took off toward the main store while I hung back and flew to LeeZu's furniture shop.  I thought the hint was Furniture Matters so I was positive I'd find it in the shop.  I looked absolutely everywhere and eventually checked the note card again only to find the hint was actually Hold My Hand.  By the time I realized this and feeling embarrassed, I limped into LeeZu's main shop to find they'd all gone. 

Now on to the crack part of my post.  I was always told crack was bad for you but it seems in SL it's everywhere.  Around every corner, in every shop I stumble across crack in all it's forms and I seriously fear for the future of those of you who succumb to its lure.   Being the good SLitizen I am, I felt compelled to document its insidious grasp on so many of our residents hoping that there is some form of support group where you can slowly, slowly raise your pants to a healthy level.  You might note from the pictures I managed to take that some people are forgetting to dress when they go out.  Some are even wearing their reproductive organs on the outside of their clothes.  Oh God spare us all.

Coming to a close, I felt the need to vent my dislike for the dress flap.  You know the one.  That little piece of mostly ill-fitting texture that fills in the gap between the thighs.  If the dress is black and it's well done, its not so bad but I've always wondered why some look okay and others are downright terrible.  I'm sure other people aren't fond of it either so is there any way to improve the FLAP?  I say FIX THE FLAP.  Of course I can't fix it, I can barely put on my lashes.

See, my flap is very noticeable.  I'm wearing a new release skin designed by Miah McAuley from Tik Tok called Lola in the pale shade.  The skin is called Bad Date and I simply love the name given I've come home looking just like this when dates have gone wrong.  Miah is working extremely hard and is improving her product with each release.  I will be talking to Miah about the possibility of her perhaps working on an even lighter skin tone for those of you who like their skin more translucent.  I haven't tried on the other tones essentially because I stay with the one shade.  I would encourage you all to go try on some of Miah's demo's.  

Okay, enough already.  I'm off for a swim.

Don't look too close.  I need a wax.
