I talk a lot about interesting beauty, where imperfections replace perfection, “flaws” are the best part, and unconventional beauty trumps all. With literally thousands of “beautiful” items available every day in Second Life, I think a lot about how to bring my true self into my styles in this virtual world where we can be perfect all the time if… Read more →
This is Liu Wen, new mesh head from Genesis Lab at Kustom9. For this gacha, you have to *really* decide ahead of time if you want to put all that money into the machine to get the one useful item. What good is a skin applier or eye makeup HUD for an Asian-head when you don’t have the head to go… Read more →
I love big, bold brows. I even added that request to my short wish list. Thank you, Deetalez, for indulging me. These days, pretty much the only thing that can get me to try a new system skin or applier from a creator I don’t already wear regularly, is a really good set of brows. Enter Esther, a new system… Read more →
Quick on the heels of my very short 2016 wish list, I have been sniffing around the events in the new year, looking for items that really strike my fancy. Oddly enough, only a few things have grabbed me. Some great hairs, select appliers, and accessories here and there. Have the winter doldrums stolen my zest for shopping? No, I… Read more →
I don’t know about anyone else but at the moment I am truly on the scramble to start (!!!111) holiday shopping. Once I go on official holiday next Thursday for the rest of the year, I expect to be living on the streets trying to scramble to get everything I need for Christmas. As the youngest child of a mixed… Read more →
I am just back from almost two weeks away and am playing a serious game of Catch Up! I don’t know if/when I will get through everything I intended to blog but I will certainly try. I have missed sooooooo much and my IMs were capped on the first day so if you tried to contact me, please send a… Read more →
I am one of those freaks of nature who don’t really like red. It’s a color I almost never wear – in either life. The only time of year I will even consider it is around the holidays. And even then, usually only on my nails or a scarf or clutch. I don’t even like red roses 😮 But, I… Read more →
Taking an outfit that I could potentially make “too cute” and instead, make it feel a bit more sophisticated was just what I was looking for today. I pretty much love everything I am wearing, although the skirt on this set from Zenith @ Kustom9 is a tad too short for my general, everyday tastes. Even so, I love the… Read more →
I have logged on and off very quickly over the last several days. I haven’t slept well. Like so many of us, I am so distressed. It’s hard to act “normally” when the world feels so upside down. Blogging somehow felt empty; like I should have something profound to say. But all I can say is, when horror is upon… Read more →
Halloween is around the corner and Thanksgiving looms only weeks later. We’re entering Deep Fall here in the US. It’s still not time for snow or heavy coats just yet xD so I put together some of my recent favorites that fit with the season. Personally, if it could stay like this all year round, I would be quite happy.… Read more →
I have said a bunch of times that I don’t prioritize expressions on my mesh heads, and even, that I don’t care if they have them 😮 . I have changed my mind…sort of, so let me just eat my hat. *noms* OK. While I am still a lot more likely to buy a mesh head with no expressions, I… Read more →
I’m all shopped out. In the last week my inventory grew by embarrassing amounts with all the wonderful fall wears, and skins, and hairs, and…I probably went the most nuts at The Seasons Story because it means it’s been one full year since I logged back in to Second Life after an epic break. TSS was the very first place… Read more →
It’s Friday and I am so ready for the weekend! Let’s do this! I am taking a short but very fashionable (in my mind) trip to NYC this weekend. It’s going to be crisp and cool. I have packed accordingly and am mirroring that in SL before I go. Some of these items can be found at the new round… Read more →
Early fall fashion offers the best clothes, best makeups and a reason to wear boots again \0/. I am pushing it a little as it’s still over 90 degrees here, but the leaves are definitely already turning. It’s beautiful. So here are some early fall looks from a few new releases anchored on simple, fun and staple fashions. The dress… Read more →
Way back in 2007 and 2008, I wore a lot of skins from Tuli. After my CS Vogue and then Minnu skins, Tuli’s were usually in my common rotation. I hope all those who came after our early generation (and a few of them are still here and blogging!!) have had a chance to sample Tuli’s work. If not, then… Read more →
