riddle me this

Editorial: Riddle me this…

I visited the Arcade like I always do (grumbling slightly but still…I went) and I TP’d away scratching my real and virtual head about a few of the displays there. So riddle me this: Why would creators put out gacha content that is so wildly unrelated, it’s almost…trollish? Here, have some coffee with your … mesh head? Like, “oh you… Read more →

TGIF

TGIFriday

TGIF! TGIfriday! I have been meaning to talk about the upcoming changes at fri.day. No, not this, my favorite day of the week; but the brand in Second Life, best known currently for its 24×7 packs of colorful, often whimsical shoes. Soon, it will be officially “friday” (no dot) and that is the least of the changes. As such, my… Read more →

add some spice

Add some spice

Tangerine orange is one of my favorite colors IRL. I love small sprinkles of it or even large splashes from time to time. In Second Life, it’s easy to add some spice when it’s well done. This dress is from Rebel Gal x Ec.cloth and it’s incredibly well-done. Realistic ruched fabric and every detail, down to the stitches on the… Read more →

this is my pick

This is my pick

This is my pick from Uber. The form-fitting Abby dress (add sleeves or leave them off) is the perfect “after hours” look from miss chelsea. I don’t know why I always have to have “picks” from every event but there’s just too much out there. I love a good ranking. This my pick – big surprise – from the beauty… Read more →

it's not too late

It’s not too late

It’s not too late for bohemian, late summer fashion, right? I know I said I was already in transition mode, but before I pumpkin spice all the things, let’s enjoy summer’s last licks with a beautifully-detailed skirt from Dead Dollz. It inspired my whole easy style and brings new meaning to “cleavage” amirite? This skirt is all the things I… Read more →

new faces

New Faces

You know how much I like finding new faces I fancy. Well, I found another. This one from New Faces for LeLutka. Actually Shiny Shabby yielded two new skins for me in fact! Ashley comes in a few tones with different eyebrow color options but no makeups (and no body appliers). It’s a pricey skin for the lack of options,… Read more →

no time to talk

No time to talk

Apologies, no time to talk today. Just a peek at a delicately pretty look that I thought was a pleasing mix of textures and tones. Incidentally, I haven’t worn a Laura Hurley skin in so long, but I fell right back in step, even with a skin that was created especially for Stella (I loved Stella) at least a year… Read more →

Level of Detail

Level of Detail

From far away, it may look like I have put together another nude/beige (which isn’t boring!) look. But on closer inspection, it’s actually a study in Level of Detail. Special mention must be paid to my top and heels, both courtesy of this month’s Luxe Box. The delicately-tied Rowne top has a level of detail that shows every stitch of… Read more →

on the hunt

On the hunt

There is no question that I have been on the hunt lately. On the hunt for something fashionably different IRL and SL. I am mostly done with “summer fashion trends” (probably because I am already deep into my huge September fashion issues). I adore Fall so I am really focused on shifting my wardrobe a bit for a transition. I… Read more →

back at it

Back at it

Andddddddd I’m back. Back at it as they say. Admittedly, it didn’t take me long to slip back into “Simollian” (Simone + Gillian). But as fail as I felt about it at first – I lasted, what, 2 days? – I realized, it’s perfectly expected to be back where I feel most like me. Isn’t that the point? It’s hard… Read more →

Spirit

This is Spirit

This is Spirit. I mean my skin of course. It’s SPIRIT Skins Mao for LeLutka and you can find it @Collabor88. I have to say, I didn’t go crazy for much at this C88 Birthday round in terms of fashion, as latex isn’t as much my thing (I tried!). But, the hairs, skins, and these great jeweled heels from #Empire… Read more →

May bento mesh head

May, I say

May I just say how much I didn’t expect to like this particular new “May” head from LeLutka as much as I do. Like so many of you, I am playing with the new LeLutka Bento heads and they are masterful. But for a diehard “Simone’r”…can they sneak into my rotation? From a functionality perspective, no one – it needs… Read more →

This Face

Can you believe this face is the same? Two remarkably different looks courtesy of Powder Pack for LeLutka. The August Powder Pack was not my favorite in terms of overall content but there were still some real gems for me. Like the lashes from Avi-Glam for example, and perhaps most especially, the skins from Pumec and The Face. Two more… Read more →

smitten

Smitten

I mentioned in my last post that I picked up a skin at Mesh Body Addicts that I am completely and utterly smitten with. In fact, I am experiencing a similar reaction to this one. And of course that’s because it’s the same creator: alaskametro. There is something so beautifully unique, interesting and real about alaskametro skins. 100% smitten once… Read more →
