Living Glam In Liv-Glam.

Here is the other dress that I purchased on a recent shopping trip to LIV-Glam.  Called the 'Ashdene' dress, it is a lovely mix of gold and black with a fine waist belt.  I couldn't help but buy the shoes that I think compliment the dress so well called XiuLan Embellished Platforms also from LIV-Glam.  They are fabulous with a thick ankle strap of gold and silver squares and leather fringe which falls across the foot.  Beautiful work Miss Jones.  I think my new earrings from Indyra Originals called 'Seven' in Burned Gold are perfect too. 

I donned the new release hair called 'Butterfly Effect' from Bizarre Hair worn in the Platinum White tone.

Linden Lab...pick me...pick me.  I want my picture at the front page of the Second Life Official Site.  I know I'm just a bunch of pixels but it would be nice to be the face that says 'hello potential member'. 

Oh and another thing...my visitor counter at the bottom of the page has damn well reset itself back to 0.  I used to love looking at that seeing how many people had visited.

Sorry but SL was shitful tonight and would not provide the 'picks' option in the various designers profiles so I was unable to give you LM's to some stores.  I have given URL's to their store on Marketplace instead.  Bad, bad SL.

Bite My Apricot.

I am showing another pair of Lindy's Modern and Retro Heels that I purchased recently. The two pairs of Lindy's that I have at the moment are so easy to fit and the prices are fantastic. I popped on Amarelo Manga's winter/fall dress called Valery in Orange and I think the two compliment well.  I adore the detail at the back of this dress - brilliant work to the designer, Luana Barzane Akina.  Again I used the 'It Starts With A Smile' sim to take the pics.

 

Oh and a big 'get well' to the Queen of England.  I hope you recover from your bout of gastro very soon.

A Smile Is Free And So Is This Jacket.

I've put together this outfit centered around the free fur jacket available from Shine.  FREE.  I love it and couldn't wait to style it to see what I came up with.  I shot these pics at the "It All Starts With A Smile" sim and found it so beautiful that I over did the photo's for this post but hey, when you're on a roll.  Lovely name for a place don't you think?

I have to mention these shoes.  I purchased them from Lindy Modern and Retro Shoes for a very modest price and I think they are gorgeous.  I'll be doing lots more shopping with this shoe designer that's for sure.

 Hope you like it.  I had a lot of fun with this.

Watch Me Pull A Rabbit Out Of My Hat.

One thing I have noticed since my return to SL is the number of big, BIG boobs that people are opting for on their avi's.  Nothing wrong with boobs by the way, I've got two of them myself.  You can't swing a cat around here without hitting a pair of big banana shaped boobies and it got me wondering why so many bloggers are hopping on the boob wagon.  I really need to revisit my slider because Cha Cha has little pipsqueaks that barely register on the radar.  Good for you I say...lets get em out and wear them with pride.

Today I'm showing you a Graffitiwear dress that is available in the "We're All Mad Here" hunt called the "Alice and Rabbit dress".  Given I'm Chalice In Wonderland I thought it only fitting to pick this dress to blog and also, the designer at Graffitiwear is also named Chalice.  Head on to the Graffitiwear store for hunt details.

Where:
Hair: Wilde in Marilyn color by LeLutka.
Skin: Mila in Pearl tone by LeLutka.
Eyeliner: Liquid Liner in Green by LeLutka.
Eyes: Eternal Eyes in Field by IKON.
Dress: Alice and Rabbit Dress from Graffitiwear.
Necklace: Ibiza Chains by Indyra Originals.
Bag: The Ireben Carryall (color change) by Indyra Originals.
Shoes: Orchid by Kalnins (no longer available).
Nails: Corset by Moon Dance Designs.

High Pants...Low Energy.

Do you have days in SL when you take pics but nothing seems to look good?  The lighting, even though you've used the same presets before, just doesn't work and you give up that great idea for a white background.  That was me taking this set.  I tried 3 different locations but I just couldn't light my avi properly and went home, faux fur between my legs, opting for the easy life. Grrrrrr.

Anyway, here 'tis.

Today I'm primarily featuring two great designers I came across at the Flawless sim, Shine (pants) and Orquidea (top and hair flower).  Honorable mentions must also go to Kathrin Dassin of Moon Dance Boutique for the amazing nails that actually sit where they are supposed to and Redgrave for the fabulous Nikki Heels that are color change.  I do love the foot on this shoe and I managed the HUD very well.  If you can't find the nail design you want at Moon Dance then you're a whinger who could never be pleased.  Kathrin's note card indicates she will tint the nail glove to your favorite skin if you can't do it yourself which is very 'handy' for me.  Just type in "/1moondance l or /1moondance r" to select both left and right nails and a menu appears to change the designs...so easy.
