Post # 62 Burnt Umber

Burley has some pretty neat hair.  I don't know if it's super popular with everyone, most of the people I see when I go shopping there are probably controlled by younger people.  I mean I see a lot of the "invisible pony rider" types there.  I have nothing against them but some people definitely do.  I think these are older people.  I am sure this is not 100% but a lot of times I can tell the general age of someone in Second Life.  Even the ones that are dressed really, provacatively, shall we say?  This has nothing to do with my post.  It's just me babbling.

 I like the slight 'fetal alcohol syndrome' look of this skin.  I look bitchy and it's rad.  I was gonna take off the sweater for the pictures because I know they don't sell it anymore.  It's a good sweater.  I remember when Sweetest Goodbye was a really big store with expensive stuff.  Now it's another store, Monso I think, and there is a small section of select SG stuff in there.  I went there yesterday to see if this sweater was still there but it's not.  They had a cute mini skirt too to go with it.  I guess mesh killed the prim like video killed the radio star.  Or maybe the SG people just decided they didn't want to have clothes anymore.  Anyways, I bought lots of their stuff when they closed.  I don't do anything on Second Life but take take pix and blog so the clothes are kinda useless to me since they don't exist anymore.

Omg I remember when I saw these shoes at Aoharu back in the day.  The picture they have of them makes them look simply ethereal.  They are pretty nice but don't turn me into an instant gel on the lense angel.  I had to remove the invisaprims from the shoes a while back and find an alpha layer that fit.  Think I'm using my Maitreya one.  I ike the Whippet & Buck skirt, even if it's primmy (is it just me or does the name of this store sound extremely DIRTY)

totally lovin the way everything i'm wearing is 'creaaaaamy'...

Post # 45 Relaxation

 I still really like this sweater from COCO.  I am a mesh junkie, with no doubt, but some primmy clothes I still like to wear.  This sweater was really crafted well, and is pretty cute in my eyes.

 There are a lot of prims there but they all blend in pretty good.  When I wear this I feel pretty mellow and relaxed.

I like the Lelutka hair, kinda goes with the casual look and so do the fitted jeans and slip ons.

Mellow out!

Post #41 Maitreya & Truth Release

This week, first mesh Truth hair that looked good on me since mesh hairs have been released by Truth.  Yes that was a redundant sentence.  Speaking of redundant, I was going through my over 100 Truth prim hairs the other day and noticed sooo many of them look alike except for maybe a part was moved an inch over, or the hair flipped a different way.   I hope one day my love for Truth comes back because I just realize I've spent over 25K lindens in that store.  Oy 

Lovin this look sooo much.  Maitreya released some great stuff this last couple of days and I've been seeing the dresses all over the blogs so of course I have to blog about the top and the jeans.  I love Maitreya jeans the best out of any other brand.  They just make my behind look good.  So do their dresses mind you, but yeah, great jeans.  The top color was a tough choice, I loved them all and they make their fatpacks so damn tempting by giving you such a deal.  I finally chose this one to go with the fabulous purse, also a new release.  I had to throw in a close up of these Esnic nails by Candy Nail.  I use them a lot in my blogs posts but can never really get a good shot.  Well today that's going to change.  These nails are great!  Love the design and the rings.

Last week I won The Dressing Room "Style of the Week".  I was pretty stoked because it was the first contest I ever really entered and my outfit was so crazy I give them props for going with it!  I was given all the goodies from the newest edition, except the Glam Affair skin which makes me sad, almost as sad as how fat I seem to appear here.

I have a big purse...

Post #20 Chillaxin'

I love the new mesh hair that came out a few weeks ago by !lamb.  I remember when I first went into the store a couple of years ago, I was pretty horrified at the fact the hair was STIFF as hell!  I was, at the time, a major Truth junkie, and used to flowy hair.  So I got a bunch of demos and kept them in my inventory for a long time.  Putting them on once and a while and kinda wincing about the stiff hair going into my boobs when I moved.  Then one day something inside me changed.  I don't know if it was the fact that Truth was recycling hairdos by that point or !lamb was giving out some rooted blonde 'dos.  I am a rooted blonde irl, so I thought ah, I'm gonna pick these up.  FELL IN LOVE.  SO I started buying every style they had w/roots.  Got used to the stiff hair pretty fast.  Great for pictures.  And who cares if it goes in your boob when you move, it's not like you can feel it right?  Now mesh hairs from !lamb.  This was like a dream come true.  I mean it, i got verklempt inside.  I hadn't been that happy since the big Maitreya 50% sale of 2010. 

So I bought this crazy colored pack, because I like to live on the wild side sometimes and thought, hmmm, what the hell goes with green hair (the pink and blue I could use but the green...).  I noticed people running around with jeans hanging off them like they had on diapers with rocks in them and said YES.  Love these jeans.  They are mesh and insane.  Had to pose to give them the full chunky chunk experience.

I call this pose "no officer i wasn't robbing that convenience store for lime kool-aid"...
This top was pretty cute.  It kinda lights up in the dark, not sure what's up with that, but it's cute.  And I have a bit of a hippe style, so I bought it, cuz it's 'me'.  They had matching tops in the jeans store but they said stuff on them like "F*ck Off" and "Smile" or something, and I just can't support mood swings that way.
I picked up the uber cute bracelets at Collabor88 from "Earthstones", three of them and stacked them.

I love these jeans lmao.  They are actually really well made and fit well.  but look best when my legs are spread open, not as much upsidedown but you get the gist of the look... haha.

Upsidedown & blood rushin' to mah head

Post #16 Funky Cool Eyeballs

Checked out The Dressing Room Blue today and picked up a few goodies.  Of course I grabbed the new Atomic skin (although I do realize it's just the same skin with different makeup pretty much every cycle, and now that we have tattoo layers I'm wasting my money).  I really have no excuse except to say that there is something enchanting and magical about hoarding skins.  That's my story, I'm sticking to it.

The sweater/dress/pajamas or whatever from House of Fox were really cute, picked those up too.  But for the life of me, I cannot ever get myself to fit into their stuff without doing major modifications (last 3 out of 4 things I bought didn't fit right).  Not sure what their measurements are but if i do it 'ready to wear' and use the alpha, i have about five inches of hip sticking out either end of the bottom of the top, and if I don't wear the alpha my bare butt sticks out, so I have to resize it lotttts.  I hope, reallly hope that H.O.F. starts meshing soon, beacause I do love their designs and quality.  I'm thinking of junking all my prim tops (god i'm gonna miss you emery clothes) and just wear mesh, since i am pretty comfortable with Firebird now (i mean Firestorm, why oh why can i never remember the damn name! 

Saved the best for last.  These GORGEE-OSIS eyes from Glow!  I have a green pair.  I always use the prims although I think there probably isn't a real need for them anymore since your eyes don't turn orange with shadows anymore, but I do like that they stick out enough that my lower eyelid doesn't have a space between it and my eyeball.  So they still serve a purpose, and well, two more prims mean a lot to me since I'm a prim whore.

But back to the eyes.  I am so impressed they are giving us six colors (regular eyes, the 2 sets of prim eyes in different sizes) for only 50L.  I snatched them up right away and though i'd share them.  I did get a duopack a long time ago that gave me my 'perfect green' eye that I am always wearing in my blog pics, I don't really take them off.

I did buy this new !lamb mesh hair today in the brown set, really excited they went mesh, gonna be so awesome to slowly quickly spend more money on hair haha.  Better than shoes really!  The only thing that bugs me a bit about mesh hair is the halo around the hair that reminds me of invisaprims from shoes. 

Here be da eyez....

obsessed with eyeballs

LONG LIVE TDR!

Post #5 Cute Little Imp

 When I bought this hair a while ago, from Leluka, I thought it was the cutest thing ever.  I remember being a little girl and having crazy curly stuck my hand in the light socket fro going on....much like this, lol.  So I knew I had to make a bit of a more girlish body shape to go with it.  I had this perfect Fishy Strawberry outfit that reminded me of a dolly dress and it just went perfect with the whole look.

 How could you not resist that smile!  Awww.... I love the shoes too, also from Lelutka.  I bought this fatpack at the shoe fair (2011?), I know they have it in the store now.  The texture on them is amazing!

This girl version of me is cute and sassy and likes to pose inside lit up lotus like structures.  I have to get her a hyper AO too.  I don't want to be a child avie, just a young girl trapped in an adult person's young girl avatar!

Muah!

Post #4 Finding Places

I have been teleporting around SL the last few days trying to find places to take pictures.  I have been using the Destination Guide, but I haven't really found anything I liked.  Mostly the textures at the places I end up at look just bad.  Not smooth, fake wood and gold etc.  It's pretty hard to find stuff.  I am starting to realize the most beautiful sims are ones that have good stores.  I was at The Dressing Room Blue today to pick up an Atomic skin, and I just thought, oh they have this decorated so nice!  There were a few people there and I really didn't want to start whipping out my poses and standing in corners and stuff.  I'm sure no one would even noticed but I would feel so weird, lol.  I did manage to get a shot standing next to the curtains though.  Timing my AO to not have my hand sticking through my head or anything.

I decided, ah frick it, and went to the same studio where I did my Maitreya red dress.  I found some sort of cubicle filled with balls and took pictures in that instead.  They have some pretty interesting poses.  This unit i photographed myself in must have been devoid of gravity because my hair stayed pretty much the same.  Pretty amazing!

Oh, it's just sort of falling down.  This is Truth's new mesh hair "Barbara", it comes with a flexy add on if you want to have that flowy look added to it.  It's pretty nice.  I gave up on Truth a while ago, well I owned most of their stuff and the new things coming out were pretty much looking the same and I was also looking for some funky styles (found a place called Burley for that, great cool haircuts!)

I'm not a zombie, I just have my hands on some balls yanno?

I love this top I picked up at The Dressing Room, by House of Fox.  If I were to look at any blog right now it would most likely be in it's original shape.  Long and more like a dress.  Now I know the designer worked really hard giving it lots of detail because I had to completely move every prim to fix it (I like to walk around in my clothes and don't like it when my hips and ass stick out - these people must think we are sticks, the alpha layer didn't work at all it was way way too skinny).  I made it much shorter than it's advertised at, but you know, it looks good.  I suppose if I was just posing I could wear it the way it was made, but I'm way too jumpy and squirmy.

Loving the new skin!  The Lien line from Atomic.  I had to add some bronze lipstick to it though because everything I have gotten from them has been pretty much red lips.  and LOOK AT THOSE CLAWS! They are even blinged out!

So I guess for now it's taking pictures outside of all my favorite stores or in studios.  I have a pretty nice beach house and a cool skybox too and lots of furniture.  Maybe I'll start setting up scenes if I get uber ambitious.

Post #3 That Awesome Maitreya Dress

Atomic skin is awesome.  It's very sharp and vivid.  I had the demos for a long time and couldn't bring myself to buy one because they are quite expensive.  I suppose if I hadn't spent 8 million dollars at Dutch Touch in the last couple of years I'd be more apt to blow a bundle on really good skins.  But I never seem to wear my DT anymore, so I have become very weary about buying fatpacks worth thousands.  Of course Atomic started showing up at the Dressing Room events and I went squeee!!! and now buy every one that shows up.  SO happpy!

Love the mesh dress from Maitreya.  It makes CUUUURVES on my body, pretty close to my own.  Love...love...LOVE the way the 'fabric' wrinkles (although in real life that would probably be annoying), but on SL it just looks a zillion times more realistic than the fricking flexi prim skirts I still see people wearing all over the place.  A lot of times I go into a club and the first thing I see is grey flexis that haven't rezzed yet.  Stupid SL went and dumped my cache the other day, so now everywhere I go, it takes forever to load.  I gotta quit trying to make shadows happen.  No.  It's just not gonna happen for me.  They look all jaggedy and weird.  Where was I going with this????

Love the mesh hair from Wasabi Pills.  I haven't found another good mesh hair store yet.  I love this one because it is so cute!  And cute is what I aim for.  All the way baby.  Call this picture Le Suprisito.

 Even though I'm a girl, I can't stop staring at my ass in this dress.  It's just so SHAPELY!

I don't use Viewer 2, I used the mesh version of Phoenix, so unfortunately I cannot wear two alpha layers at once.  So I gotta wear some old style boots from J's (which actually look pretty good) with the dress.  In certain texture background I can see the fricking bulky hidey invisiprim layers that have driven me crazy since the beginning of my life on SL.

 HELP I'M DRUNK AND I CAN'T GET UP!
