Thankful

 in blog

I had this post all ready to go on Thanksgiving morning and then didn’t have time to post before I had to skedaddle. By the time I arrived back in Boston and went to upload, I decided to take advantage of various Black Friday sales and then had to retake all of the photos because I picked up the new… Read more →

Thigh high know how

 in blog

Try as I might, I have not found as versatile a pair of thigh high boots in Second Life as these from the original shoe/boot specialist, Maitreya. For those of you who don’t know, before dominating hair and then later, mesh bodies, Onyx built the early Maitreya brand name on heels and boots – still some of the absolute best… Read more →

Butterscotch

 in blog

Fall seems like the perfect time to wear a pretty butterscotch dress. You know I’m not generally into short, flouncy type “cuts” in SL because they’re typically a dime a dozen, literally. But this one made me happy and I love the detail on the pretty “fabric” with a lovely, natural sheen. This is Eliza, new Omega-based skin from LAQ.… Read more →

Maximum Impact

 in blog

I’m keeping my look mostly minimalist today for maximum impact. I was particularly taken with this skin from Moccino Beaute for Lelutka heads. The subtle freckles and fresh complexion won me over. I almost didn’t demo because tbh, the ad photo was some sort of morph (I think?) and looked nothing like what I ended up purchasing. Just goes to… Read more →

Hair Fair 2018: Do the demo

 in blog

You’re all aware that Hair Fair starts THIS WEEKEND. And, with all the releases, you’re going to want to schedule a significant chunk of time to demo before you buy. Like last year, Hair Fair organizers are opening an in-world group for members to receive ALL demos one full day in advance – so when the sims open to the… Read more →

It Matters

 in blog, editorial

Customer service matters. It really matters. IRL and SL alike. If you have a bad experience with a brand from a customer service perspective, you’re less likely to ever shop them again. When you have a good experience, it builds loyalty that is additive (with no ceiling or cap to how much loyalty you demonstrate). Two recent positive experiences I… Read more →

Did I overdo it?

 in blog

Did I overdo it? I have been known to overdo the cute from time to time. This might be one of those times but it seemed apropos for the weather, which has finally turned sparkling and summerlike, without melting me. A couple of notes: I’m wearing the new head from LAQ. I’m still on that kick. My collection grows. I… Read more →

It’s been a while

 in blog

It’s been a while since I wore a Catwa head. I always *want* to but it’s like iPhone vs. Android. You are generally either one or the other. The skin that got me to give my Catya head another try? Radija from Studio Exposure. This creator has long made my absolute most favorite makeups (so much so that they have… Read more →

Powder Pack FTW

 in blog

I am loving the newest Powder Pack for LeLutka. So far, everything that I have tried is absolutely going into my top folders for LeLutka heads. The makeups, the eyes, the freckles. Girllll, it’s one of the things I look forward to the most in Second Life beauty. There are several skins in the May Powder Pack release – including… Read more →

Pure and Simple

 in blog

It’s hard to improve on a classic sheath, but IMO, this new Lois dress does. It’s actually harder to do simple well in SL – because everyone seems to want the ‘in your face’ aesthetic. Stories&Co. does it best, pure and simple. I’m also really into these makeups from Glam Affair on the new Elanor skin, also at Collabor88. Coupled… Read more →
