This is Samaira. She is the only skin I am previewing from Skin Fair that isn’t for LeLutka but for Fiore. Samaira is one of three new skin appliers for Fiore from one of my favorite skin artists, Milan. IMO, Milan makes the most beautiful dark skins in Second Life and I would loveeeee if she would work on the… Read more →
This is Kirsten from YSYS, another new skin applier for LeLutka at Skin Fair 2017. One of the best things about Skin Fair for me is really expanding my skin portfolio but also, starting fresh. What??? You mean, you actually delete older skins/appliers and start over? Yes, yes I do. Don’t twitch when I tell you… I don’t even box… Read more →
Wow, what a difference a year makes. Skin Fair 2017 (beautifully done by Esode and Pale Girl Productions) has nearly arrived and unlike what I claimed last year, appliers are basically all you will find. If you’re still wearing system skins, well…I suspect most people who read beauty blogs have long been on the mesh head train anyway 
What… Read more →
Full Harajuku style isn’t something I play with often, but I do love to “Gillianize” trends to make them suit me personally. Have you seen Baiastice’s new Tattoo dress? It has koi on it. I love it, and especially the bright, urban colors and sheer arms and bodice. OK I “Gillianized” the look a bit – a lot, as I… Read more →
I’m making a case for champagne with this dress from Azul. I have never worn inventory from this creator before, and the Zaria dress is unique, with bell sleeves and a satin overlay bodice. Very, very pretty and so fun to style. It also comes with flexi parts (not shown). I remember when flexi came to the grid (yes, my… Read more →
I was messing around with shapes as I tried on the new mesh head from LeLutka this weekend. It got me thinking about my shape and how it has changed – or hasn’t changed, as it were. At the end of the day, however I present my avatar in Second Life, it is version of me that I choose to… Read more →
I’m don’t know what the weather is like by you, but here in Boston, we have had an early Spring in February! Yesterday was 68F 
Today will be much the same. To celebrate, here’s a casual look to love. One part bohemian, one part glam. Mixing one part boho; one part glam I wasn’t sure what I was going… Read more →
I am hitting the refresh button today. Taking a fresh look at what’s in my inventory and where the holes are. In particular, I am looking at ever-popular Second Life subscription “boxes” like Luxe Box (FD: the only one I participate in) and others. Is Second Life moving farther and farther away from a la carte to mostly event/themed/packaged shopping?… Read more →
I have so much in my inventory I am keen to blog at some point, but today, I am crushing on some blues. Subtle blue accents that stand out against a very pale outfit. I admit that I am having trouble switching out of my LeLutka Simone head. This time, I am experimenting with the beautiful bushy eyebrows from the… Read more →
As the snow continues to fall here in Boston, I sit quietly listening to Joni Mitchell. You know the song from Love Actually, where Emma Thompson’s character unwraps a Christmas gift from her husband, and it’s not the necklace she saw him buy? That went to his secretary -_- I have always loved the song Both Sides Now so very… Read more →
There’s something to be said for a minimalist Friday, particularly at the end of an exhausting work week AND a major blizzard. Oy. My minimalist Friday includes a simple chignon from Tableau Vivant. Hello, my beautiful bow. You should be named Gillian. However your name is “Bow updo.” /rekt Cozy Comfort Coupled with a cozy, comfortable sweater and structured tweed… Read more →
Exquisite. This dress from Dead Dollz just whispers exquisite, delicate. You can wear it with a full gown base or with a bodysuit, letting the lace really stand out. The back is delightfully detailed and sexy; the front, demure or risque. It’s billed as a bridal gown, but seeing as that isn’t something in my plans atm, not every gown… Read more →
I’ve been a little bit on a roll blogging lately. I’m really enjoying one or two new items here and there, while revisiting older inventory. It really makes blogging more fun – and Lord knows, we all need to find fun. I recently discovered that Mudskin has what I assume is a sale going on, because every single LeLutka applier… Read more →
On Opposite Day, we celebrate (?) an unofficial holiday when every action is modified so that the meaning is negated. Kind of like living in the United States these days -_- For my Opposite Day, I am wearing a see-through dress, pink hair, and pasties. I am also wearing almost nothing that would be considered a new release That… Read more →
My grandmother always used to say, “as long as you start with good bones.” She didn’t just mean my cheekbones hidden by baby fat at the time; she meant the “bones” of everything – fabric, fashion, houses, gardens, and especially horses. Good Bones Meaning, as long as the foundation is solid, the rest was immaterial. I am not sure what… Read more →
