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 #54 Back to LAQ

The first skin I ever bought was from LAQ, back in 2009.  I wore that skin for a loooong time and have so many old photos of me in it.  It really became "me", that is till I got a free gift from Dutch Touch and that became the new me and I spent thousands being a Dutch addict.  It took me to 2011 to NOT wear the only two brands I ever bought and branch out.  Now I love so many skins it's insane...and expensive.  Anyways, I went and picked up a new LAQ skin and I love it.  And cheaaaaap!  Wow.  I was impressed.  I wore it with these items I wanted to cover, three of which are from Collabor88 which is changing in a few days so I thought I better throw these in here before they were gone.

 First I want to talk about this jacket I picked up from FaMESHed, by Leverocci.  They had or still do have a sale going on and I got a few shirts from them and was kinda disappointed in the alpha layers that showed air, i guess, under the seams.  This jacket didn't fail to disappoint on the air issue (or maybe I should say yeah it did disappoint) and when I stand certain ways this big glob on the inside shows nothing.  I don't know how to fix alphas so I guess I'm stuck with the blankness of it all.  :*(

The dress and hair I got from Collabor88.  I was expecting a full mesh dress (I really need to learn to demo stuff) and It was just a mesh middle, like the old prim types.  I don't own a lot of strapless plain dresses so it will do for now.  The hair is all right.  I wasn't pleased with any one particular color.  It will do too.  I probably won't wear this outfit too often.

 The jewelery I picked up at Dark Mouse for 10L a piece which is a pretty good deal.  They have a red tent out back and are selling older stuff.  I liked the bracelets a lot.  The necklace sort of felt like it never rezzed all the way, and the hair thing was really pretty.  Still, a great deal for the price.

This is my old 2009 Blondie skin.  It makes me look uber happy and my lips are set on 'bitchy'.  So that's some happy skin.  It's so orangey compared to my newer skins and it looks really good here, but you can really tell it's older.  Probably was ahead of it's time though when it came out.  I paid less for the new skin with like four or five makeups than one of the old skins.  I believe they were 1200 a piece back in the day.

The skirt is from Vive9 (same as the blue dress) and it too has just the mesh middle in it.  I'm two days too late for the July 4th red white and blue thing but I'm not American so I guess it's not important.  Hope everyone in the USA had a good holiday!

..I look like Courtney Stodden
