One noticeable absence for me at this year’s Skin Fair was Glam Affair. I have always looked forward to Ada’s special releases this time of year so if you’re jonesing for some perfect complexion Glam Affair goodness, unfortunately you won’t find it at Skin Fair. BUT… …You can find Glam Affair newness at Collabor88! I find it very hard to… Read more →
I decided to go retro today. Well, a little retro anyway. And yes, my necklace is a “Q” which is as close as I could get to “G.” I wasn’t going to spend any more time (or $Lindens) trying to get ONE letter out of that damn machine, lol. I love the detail however. I recommend a good zoom in,… Read more →
That fall feeling arrived this morning in Boston. Crisp, cool and not a cloud in the sky. It inspired me to really mix up some of my brightest earthy fall colors. Colors that you might not think ought to go together, but IMO, they very much do. Love! I love everything about this time of year (except Hurricanes – for… Read more →
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 →
I am leaving in a few weeks for London and then Paris \o/ so I spent today doing some Sunday shopping. I meant to post this before I left but…oops! In Second Life, I am wearing the still relatively new Bento head from fiore, coupled with a fresh new skin from The Skinnery. I would *love* to see an applier… Read more →
I love a pretty primrose yellow. I think it’s probably an especially tough tone to get right in a pixelated world and often looks too mustard-y in my favorite windlights. But all my pretty primrose accessories here in this Springy look are anything but “mustard-y.” I <3 a sunny day – or an outfit that makes me think of a… Read more →
Clearly I didn’t follow the sage advice by Coco Chanel who said, “Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take one thing off.” Instead, I decided to add something. Or many somethings. I was an a roll 😀 Minimalist is my normal vibe, but I was really feeling the beautiful Easter egg rose color of this new… Read more →
“I like to be perfect but I don’t like perfection.” – Alber Elbaz How true, Mr. Elbaz (one of my most favorite designers and fashion personalities – famous for hating to be seen as a “personality” and hating to have his photo taken). What does this have to do with what I am wearing? Well, I guess I find “perfection”… 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 have been so caught up elsewhere, I haven’t been blogging. I could give you the normal list of IRL or I could tell you that other things have my attention. Both would be true. It is the holidays after all and my main MMO has an expansion out. So instead, here are some things I Fancy. I realize today… Read more →
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 →
We didn’t have much of a winter in Boston this year, which is fine, considering last year. The shift has started though – and temperatures are expected to top 70 degrees here this week 😮 In honor of climate change, I am breaking out shorts very early. It’s not quite warm enough for this today IRL but soon, very soon.… Read more →
I was supposed to be leaving for England and Amsterdam this coming Sunday but illness will more than likely keep me home. It’s been a rough winter in terms of getting sick constantly, but hey, Spring is on the way or so I hear. Trips not taken… While I usually kvetch about The Arcade every season, I will say that… Read more →
I haven’t worn my LeLutka mesh heads in a while. They are still the most well-made heads on the grid with the most effective ways to extend their wear with so many gorgeous appliers from dozens of skinners, but for me, I need new ones to get excited again. Once I see something *everywhere* I personally tend to wear it… Read more →
I braved The Arcade once again, albeit briefly, and picked up Morgana from Pink Fuel in all the brow options. I added some of my favorite tattoos to soften the lips and cheeks a bit. Dark eyebrows are my absolute favorite on any skin and these are absolutely gorgeous. If I could take them and put them on other skins,… Read more →
