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.

Ladies Who Lunch!

Hello again. I'm pumped, I'm excited and I'm inspired after finding some great things to blog in the coming weeks. Now in RL I love to do lunch. I love to do breakfast and dinner too. In fact, I love going out and celebrating the joy of sharing food with friends and family more than anything. So today I have found an outfit befitting of social Chalice and her love of dressing up for lunch.

I found this gorgeous lace dress from the Niven Collection, a favorite designer of mine since forever. I love the quality of her work and also the fun she incorporates into some very sophisticated couture pieces. I love this dress and the hint of nip is a naughty touch on what is a seemingly conservative little dress. Note the oversize brooch that comes with the dress...adds some quirk doesn't it? Now I want you to sit down...this dress is (drum roll) 50L. Another must have from the Niven Collection is the tattoo layer MonoChrome Wing Lashes. There's lots of options and with no effort, you look like Napolean Perdis has had his way with you.

Now if you take a trip to Niven's at Liberty you will also find my new favorite shop, Posh, a few doors away. I somehow hadn't managed to visit Posh and that was entirely my mistake. Their up-do's are something else and this hair called Envious is so stunning I can't take it off.

The lovely Drupal Kirax from MOJOTI Luxury Eyewear sent over a gift card to purchase his amazing line of sun glasses and I was entirely bowled over by the designs. I threw on these pair called Speed...just the thing to wear so that I can eye the beautiful people (you) without looking too obvious.

I hope you enjoyed the fruits of these designer's labor and I'll be certainly bringing you more Niven magic.

I Kissed The Boys And Made Them Cry

WOW I've had a blast this SL weekend. I've danced, laughed, explored new places and purchased new things. It was cold at home...a real Autumn day giving us a taste of what we're in for so I wasn't up for much in terms of being outdoorsy. I snuggled up, made coconut 'n' chocolate bread, cooked a yummy chicken dish and generally the family just chill-axed.

I downloaded the Rainbow Cool Viewer that I'm assured is compatible with LL TOS. I seriously cannot get on with V2. I don't like the side bar information and I think the movement/camera controls are cumbersome. I seemed to be involuntarily logged off from the Emerald Viewer on a regular basis so thought I would give Rainbow a try. I love it. It has all the things I personally want in one viewer so will stick with this until LL fix the movement/camera controls, remove that annoyingly huge side bar and deliver my notices to the top right of my screen. To me it is like I have all the new features in the old format that I am so familiar with.

Here is an outfit I styled from various sources. I do love the clever shading on the pants I purchased from Relentless Couture. How arty to combine a classic rock theme (the skulls) with a pattern noted for its traditional refinement (damask).

I also loved this double layered T from Faire with a message from Katy Perry...albeit with a twist. I did actually get the one that says I kissed a girl too. I mean who wouldn't want to kiss girls....we're FABULOUS.

I am loving tattoo layers. You know what? They negate the need to pose for hours on stands trying to get your prim lashes lined up plus no more caterpillars on yer face when you first land. I was thrilled to receive a tattoo layer from Tattanooga in the form of lashes. I tried it on and couldn't get to the shop quick enough. The make ups and lashes look great and are so easy it's insane.

Coming from a models perspective, I remember the limitations of SL when we had to quick change without a handy tab, fit lashes, struggle with body/face lights, try to reduce ugly foot bumps with particular shoes and skins that worked against the lighting before the vast improvements of recent times were afforded us.  These days I do believe it is easier to style and create unique looks because it's all out there for the taking.  In many ways I'm glad I learned in the quaint old days because I really do appreciate what we have now.

I also visited Posh for the first time and have fallen in love with their hair. There's something about it that floats my boat. I love how the pulled back hair sits low at the forehead. Anyhow, do take a trip to Posh and try on the demo's. I'm also wearing my favorite of all favorite shoes, Salience from Maitreya.
