My Attic just opened, and Sasy Scarborough and I collaborated again on two WinxBoxes in the ‘Change’ theme.  These mini dressing rooms are available in two styles, Chic, and Funk, with custom unique poses for each box, and texture change walls.  The boxes are mesh featuring a very low land impact, and access control for you, your group, or anyone. Both boxes are on display for demoing at My Attic.

My Attic’s April session runs through to April 30th. The theme for this session is ‘Change’ and the designers, and guest designers participating have created beautiful items based on what that theme means to them. A selection of fashion, hair, poses, accessories and props available. I hope you will join us for this event at The Deck. All items will be $95L for the duration of the event, and will then go to regular store prices afterwards. Stop by My Attic to see the many items that are available.

Adorkable @ Pose Fair 2013

Pose Fair 2013 has begun and there are so many great stores involved. Adorkable has several new sets of poses available, I’m featuring two poses from them. Adorkable is a unique pose maker who includes a mirrored version of each pose. This photo was done using Grace 1 and Grace 1m. In theory I could have created this photo by mirror myself in photo editing software, however, what if I wanted to do a location shot, with two avatars….mirrored poses for the win. I like the idea of mirrored poses as many times I will want to use a pose but because of what I am wearing it just doesn’t suit the post, but the mirror will. Check out the other pose sets at Pose Fair 2013.

I’m wearing Doll COCO’s mesh ball-jointed doll avatar. This avatar body is free and comes in two skin tones, Snow, and Cacao. You can choose from a number of unique mesh heads as a separate purchase for a custom look, as well as mesh clothing, and costumes specifically made for the doll. She also has accessories like hats, helmets, even bat wings, animated insect wings, and monster feet are available. Join her free group and click the vendor at the store to get your starter body. The body has several body options, with or without lingerie, and ‘smooth’ option with no genital details, and a default version with nipple areolas and full genitals. After purchasing a Head for the body, you can wear it in place of the White Cap that tops the doll body. The head also includes a wearable teardrop, and a head with closed eyes. The dress comes with two necks in the skin tones, I didn’t need them, and the boots with two skin color options. I removed my doll feet to wear them.

For this photo I am wearing Doll COCO’s gift Rabbit Avatar. This rabbit looks so serious, it’s just adorable. Its a free gift, right next to another free gift of Wizard of Oz themed mesh characters, and a mesh Dorothy avatar. This rabbit also comes with a camouflage jacket. I’m showing off the cute Whimsy 2m pose from the Whimsy post set. I loved how even more defiant the bunny looks with it.

PS if you are looking for the gift Bat Wings, they are located at this location.   This is also were the new bodysuits, slip dress, insect wings, etc are.  Careful there is a body priced at $450 here, I believe its the newer model.  If you are looking for the clothing, more heads, and free body, rabbit, and wizard of oz characters they are at the DOLL COCO location I listed in my credits instead.

Lucky

Today I’m wearing a cute mesh top I picked up from Nyu, called the Button Back Shirt appropriately. It features a long shirt, with cute fabric covered buttons that run down the back in the middle. I like that it’s long so I can double it as a tunic/dress, and even more because it comes in my favorite shade of green. I’m also wearing a cute mesh headpiece called Southern Comfort from Pididdle. It’s a lovely grouping of oversized lucky four leafed clovers. Even though it’s a St. Patrick’s Day Special, it’s cute enough to wear anytime, and would be adorable for a spring tea or garden party. BTW it’s only available until the end of today! (March 21st) Grab it while you can, and it’s only $40L!

My mesh footless tights are a recently new release from Maitreya. These have the look of cable knit, and are available in a wide range of colors. With purchase you get two versions, one being ‘pinched’, meaning pinched in the waist band area so you can layer them with shirts, or other clothing. So this makes it great for layering! Maitreya also just released their much awaited August Ankle Boot. We got a sneak peek at them when Maitreya released their prior collection, but they are available NOW! I’ve included swatches of all the colors they are available in. They’re a nice mesh ankle boot, with some colors featuring a patched leather look, and others in a solid leather. With purchase you get rigged and non rigged versions, a variety of sizes in the rigged version, and an extra set with red soles! My hair is a group gift from Eater’s Coma, you can join the group at the store and click the vendor to receive a fatpack of this, and other goodies. Eaters Coma is a rebrand of the hair store 69, featuring mesh hair styles, and clothing. My Copacetic Tallulah necklace is from Maxi Gossamer Jewelry, and is currently available at Collabor88. It’s color change via menu, and comes in a variety of lengths.

LOGO is at Skin Fair 2013, and I’m trying out their mesh head called Sadie. The idea of prim body parts was slow to grow on me past prim feet in shoes, until I got my SLink mesh hands. Suddenly being able to have parts that were a big improvement over the default avatar shape was thrilling. Having a mesh head also is proving to be fun, and since I am quite lazy, nice to have all my parts like makeup, hair bases, eyes, and lashes all in one convenient HUD.

Sadie is available in 5 skin tones, Alabaster, Bloom, Almond, Amber, and Cocoa. I liked all the tones, and felt they were a good selection, and think the Sadie looks really adorable in the lighter tones like Alabaster and Bloom. I personally chose Almond for myself, as it’s close to other skin tones I wear. I like a medium tone, and found it worked well for me. With purchase you are given matching skins, and the head components, and well a layer body shading, a variety of layer nipple options and shapes. I found that the Sadie works alright with my shape. They include two types of heads based on body fat settings. If you are unsure which is right for you , you can easily go into edit appearance mode, and check your shape sliders. Mine are a 3, so I went with the 0 body fat head. There are also heads included with a single expression if you have a slow computer, and “legacy” eyes, and teeth if with want to wear your usual ones.

The HUD is really simple to use. There is the Expressions tab, which you can click to slide out a menu of framed faces, and numbered buttons. Each of the framed faces feature an eye and mouth expression. Click the eye area within the frame to get that eye expression, and click the mouth to get that moth. Pretty simple. Like both the eye and mouth within a particular frame? Click the nose, to get both. You can mix and match to get a wide variety of realistic expressions. The numbered buttons give you 15 eye movements, allowing you to look left or right, or even cross your eyes. There is a reset button as well to return to a ‘straight’ face.

There are tabs that slide out to reveal all the makeup options like Lipstick, Eyeshadow, Blush, and Lashes. Additionally you can chose Eyes, Brows, Nose Shading, and Hair Bases. When you purchase the head the HUD is preloaded with 16 lipsticks, and 16 glossy lipsticks for a total of 32. There are also 16 eye-shadows, 4 blushes, 5 nose shadings, 16 eyes, 6 brow colors, 7 eyelashes, and an option for none, and 42 hair bases!

I was impressed with the range within each, they could confidently serve my every need. Logo has tango appliers, and more eyes, eye-shadow, blush, and lipsticks add ons available for purchase separately. I was amazed at the total range when I loaded my add ons. I especially like the beautiful eyes that are available in the add on sets, to the point it was hard to pick which one I wanted to wear, and I know I will cycle through them all. Installing the add on sets is easier then loading an AO. Just rez your HUD on the floor, and drag the script for your skin tones sets into the contents tab, and you are done! No filling out note-cards, etc. You can access the new additions by click the left and right arrows for that particular tab.

The HUD when minimized is a nice long, thin discreet bar on your screen. I edited it to fit my full screen height-wise and moved it fully to my left screen. I recommend this, and also removing it when you are done making your selections/dressing, as if you build or edit often you may find yourself wondering why you aren’t going into edit on items or selecting them, because you are really selecting the alpha area of the HUD you can’t see. But removing HUD when you aren’t using them in smart in general to keep your script time down, and not lag you out.

I know sometimes having to read lengthy note-cards, or having this many parts, and options can sometimes be overwhelming and off-putting. But I seriously recommend reading the notecard carefully, and trying on all the options just so you get to know the parts. This will help you make the most of your purchase. I really liked the mesh head, I thought it was lovely, expressive, and truly had enough options I could feel comfortable in it. Grab a demo and try it out for yourself.

Erare Project

The creators of Celoe and LeLutka recently released these stunning mesh mermaids called The Erare Project.  The mermaids consist of a variety of body parts to transform you from human to siren.  There are eight in total, each more beautiful than the next. Flora is a lovely bottle green that provides camouflage.  Fury is predominately red, with some tones of gold and orange and stands out brilliantly. Pretense is a darker mermaid with lavender, midnight, and prussian blues that mimic the deeper depths. Mercy is soft and lovely tones of subdued pinks, corals, and golds.  Ghost is muted tones of coral, nude, sea green, and pale gold. Glory are muted, and deep tones of red, gold, and browns. Spire is a beautiful black, that really stands out dramatically. Foam blends into the waves, with silvery blues, and muted lavender.

The hair is stunning, the concept is incredible, and it moves with perfection. Included are mesh eyes that are eerie and beautiful.  They’re modifiable so you can custom fit them.  There is a layer to add a shimmer to your exposed skin, and another for your torso that is the main torso color with added detail to the breast bone area. There are two types of breast adornment, one more modest than the other. I’m wearing the full version.  There are also several other mesh fin and kelp attachments for various looks, in my photo I am wearing all of them. Mesh hand/claws give a nice look, and give the impression you could really grasp a fish, or defend yourself with them. The tail is very long, giving a slim elongated form balanced out nicely by the caudal tail fin. The tail itself moves nicely with the body, and comes with tail angle HUD that allows you to move it in a variety of degrees to suit your mood.  They’ve also included an AO for movement with lovely animations, it’s modifiable allowing you to customize it further if you own more mermaid animations. Various parts are rigged to move perfectly with the body as need, others are left unrigged to allow you to modify them for a perfect fit.  This design was not only beautifully executed, but well thought out. The Syren’s are available on a barge in the waters just off of the city area of Mayfair.  Nearby them is a group gift of a lovely necklace made with them in mind.

If you are looking for more ways to add to your merlife, some of my favorite finds over the years are Kami-Hitoe’s Dramatic Seas AO2.  This ao has been my basic mermaid ao for years. It features lovely movement, ground sits, and my favorite hover, and crawl animations. Sala Snook, the designer at Kami-Hitoe makes a variety of mermaid ao’s, and items, all are worth checking out. My most amusing item from Kami-Hitoe is the mermaid fish bowl. Another favorite mermaid resource I’ve used is Creative Insanity’s Mermaid AO, it has beautiful ‘stands’ that move your body about in a very wide range. I have used both of the ao’s with the Erare mermaid and they work perfectly with them.  Check around the grid for more mermaid items, if you are looking for some cool additions to your own mermaid spot try SL’s Marketplace  for decor, homes, sea life, waves, rocks, surrounds, and plants. There is a wide variety of items that would be perfect to create your mer-paradise.  If you want to play, I recommend Mittandraland Mermaid Haven…watch out for the nets and mines. Thanks to Nei Ruffino aka `ToolKitten from DeviantArt whose stock images, stock_ocean_2 & stock_ocean_6,  I used for these photos.  I also used a variety of free textures for overlays etc from Insight Designs.

Today is the last day for My Attic items at the special price of $99L, after today they will be available in the main stores at the original price.

Mixed Tape

Sasy and I are blogging many cool finds from February’s My Attic.  I’m wearing Cynful’s Kamalin Dress in Suede, over Miseria’s Danger Days jeans in Dusty. These jeans work well with the dress, as the jeans are layer, and the dress is mesh. I’m also wearing Epoque’s so kawaii mesh HaiHai Lovers Ring, mine is called ChouChou and there are 6 in total available. They are so cute! From My Attic I am also wearing Esk-Imo’s Britney hair, this is the blonde pack, in blonde 3. Via the included HUD I changed sections of it a brown to match my dress and scarf. My scarf is from Fanatik, in the Safari Nights print, which I have match to my Gaudy bracelet from Amorous in zebra print. The bracelet is click change textures and metals. My shoes are the Fabric Platforms in black from SLink. These shoes are designed to be worn over SLink’s mesh feet.

I like Sasy’s outfit as it’s full of color. She’s wearing the Faded Danger Day’s jeans from Miseria, which is currently available at My Attic as well as the Rene hairstyle from Ploom. She’s layered the House of Fox’s Xue Top, over the Miseria jeans. The top is currently available at Collabor88. Another event item is this pretty skin from Glam called Luria, this skin is a sneak peak at what will be at The Arcade in March. I like Sasy’s accessories which are the Sedona Valley Necklace and Bracelet from Maxi Gossamer, and her Charlie Boots from Treads.  It’s a nice muted but still colorful look. Mixing and matching can bring about some really amazing looks, as well as mixing textures like the rugged but soft feel of the boots with the sturdy fabric of denim, and soft top. See Sasy’s post to see what she has to say about these looks.

Bright Lights Big City

I love the pants TuttiFruitti did for My Attic, she also made matching hats for them, but I am just blogging the leopard print Yeah! jeans in this look. They’re a mesh skinny jean, with a rolled hem, and are way too cute, I also liked the Crazy Jean too with it’s cool stripes on the lower legs. Check out Sasy’s post on them.  I’m wearing The Secret Store’s 3D Rose Sweater in Carbon. I love this shirt, it’s available in several colors, the Red as you can image looks amazing, and the Nude really brings out the details. I’m wearing Fanatik’s Armadillo Shoes in Alligator Black. I love the look of alligator on accessories. These are great, and since it’s Second Life, you don’t have to break an ankle to walk in them! I’ve accessorized further with Amorous’ Urchin Earrings, this time in all black, and Indrya Original’s Slyph Bangles, with LaViere’s Ambush hairstyle, in this cool Creative Dye Black. My props, Sasy and I (W. Winx & Flair)  made for My Attic, and are part of the Bright Lights Big City WinxBox.

The beat that I’m bangin’ is delicious

Droppin’ the g’s cause I’m a high roller. I totally love this look, kinda glam and fun, it’s a night out on the town, and possibly some trouble mixed in.  My club crawl has turned into a sim crawl as I’m having to type it up on the fly from sim restarts. I’ve gone from my studio, to hiding out in a phone booth at Exile to currently sitting on the sea floor of an empty sim, running from sim restarts, and waiting for home to come back up. Nobody rocks an empty sim like me… ‘cept possibly Sasy who is sitting next to me doing the same.

DCNY release the Pop Princess collection of mini dresses at My Attic. They’re a fun, spicy, group of mesh dresses in a variety of colors, and themes. I’m wearing the Scary Dress, which features a brown glittery top with leopard torso and skirt. These dresses are designed in two pieces. If you own more than one, you could easily mix and match tops with the skirts to create even more looks. I’m wearing the Luxe Fur Jacket from Mimikri. This is a mesh jacket hat comes in two pieces as well, a lovely formal short jacket with lapel, and another fringed collar to wear over it. In theory if you owned more then one also you could also mix up the look. Other jackets feature many types of leopard prints so you can really have fun with this look. I’m wearing the Mesa Platform shoes from Epoque in black. These are very high, and I love the smooth look to them. My hair is a recently release from Exile called Part of Me. It’s a lovely mesh updo, and I love how this shaded called Afterglow which features a fade, works with the style to give me highlights on the bun portion in just the right spots to really accent, and highlight this style.

Love Missile F1-11

Emery made this mesh dress called Embellished Ehrmantraut for My Attic’s Pop Music theme this session. This a tight fitted dress with spike epaulettes. It’s available in eight great colors. I love the colors she used, and the detailing on the back side of the dress. I’m wearing one of three new hairstyles released by LeLutka this weekend. This mesh hairstyle is called Dolce, and is a wild ‘big hair’ style. I love how high it’s teased up, and the whispy flexi pieces that move. My accessories are these great spiked earrings from Amorous in mesh. They feature color change spikes and base. My necklaces are sunglasses on chain from Maxi Gossamer Jewelry called Positano. They come with sunglasses on necklace with two types of chains, and sunglasses raise on right on your nose. They feature click change lens and frame styles/colors. My bag is from Leverocci/Belgravia, called the Totem Bag. I love shape and how shiny it is. My leggings are from Izzie’s Patterned Tights Pack, the design is Half Stripes Outside. I’m wearing Gizza’s Studded Boots in Glam Black. I love the pattern and spikes on the back. Because wear mesh hands, I removed my wrists and wore a glove alpha to make sure my arms would fit inside my tight sleeves. It’s a skin tight dress, and my wrists with the extra mesh hands didn’t work with it. Extra body alphas from other clothing items can really come in handy, it’s a neat trick to remember.

Iced Bokeh To Go

The With Love  hunt begins November 30th, with many grid favorite stores participating. The hunt will begin at 4pm slt, the starting location is at Cheeky Pea.  Here’s a sneak peek of the skin La Petite Mort will be offering for their hunt item.  This skin features a lovely pale blue/white bokeh effect near the eyes, and strong almost flushed from winter blush.  This skin was fun to style, check out what Sasy did with it!  Where I went light and bright, she brought out the blues, and added some depth. I’m wearing it with Chaisuki’s 47 lashes, and Izzie’s Double Wing Eyeliner for super drama.  I’m all dressed up for an event with my Shiver dress from LeLutka, and jewelry from Muse.  These items have been in my inventory for a while, and that makes them perfect for events.  Many people rush out to grab a dress for a formal event, only to find they are one of several wearing the same dress at the event.  I like to pick up dresses, and formal jewelry here and there, so when an event comes around I have many dresses that minimise the likelihood someone else will be wearing them.  Vintage items are great, vintage like my Muse Celestine Front jewelry.  Consider this while getting ready for your holiday events.  I’m wearing new hair from LeLutka, called Electra, a soft whispy braided style, with a matching hair base.  Have fun with the hunt, and check back here, for more hunt info as it updates.

Pandora

I want to wish a ~Happy Birthday~ to Gyorgyna Larnia of LaGyo/LG Concept.  ;D  I’m wearing LaGyo’s Bizarre Flower Headpiece in this bright marigoldish shade. It’s texture changeable, and was featured at a previous Collabor8 event.  It’s bright and happy, and when worn with the new mesh jeans in the So Good print from TuttiFruitti reminds me of my childhood.  (My living room was turquoise and yellow back then.)  It’s a happy outfit, and I found all of the new mesh jeans from TuttiFruitti in happy prints, they’re a brand new release so you should run and grab some demos. I’m wearing Maitreya’s mesh Cupio Top in turquoise and their Esprit XTD shoes.  I’ve kept my accessories simple with a cute canary yellow purse from fri.day, and matching canary yellow nails from Izzie’s available via color change hud, look for her Spring/Summer 2012 Classic nails.

Bandana Day – Hair Fair 2012 LeLutka & SasyPants

Bandana Day is today at Hair Fair 2012!  This day is set aside every year during Hair Fair 2012, to honor and show support. Second Life residents create unique one of a kind bandanas every year for this event, and they run the gamut from chic to cheeky.  The bandanas are $50L, and are a 100% charity donation.  Please remove your hair in support, and grab a fun bandana or more from the bandana booths located around each sim at Hair Fair 2012.

Today I am wearing three bandanas, firstly the very stylish Faith bandana from LeLutka. This features a turban like bandana with color print, and option scarf with fringe to elongate the look.  In my other photos I am wearing two bandanas created by Sasy Scarborough of SasyPants, who also is responsible for Hair Fair 2012, as event coordinator, planner, the list of task and responsibilities is endless.  These two bandanas are super cute, featuring little piggies as the theme, a girl and boy are both represented with top hat and bow, all fashionably done in knit!  These three styles are keepers, and I can’t wait to wear my piggies as a knit cap as well this winter.

Pose Fair 2012 opened April 15th, and runs through April 30th, 2012.  Plenty of time to visit the 120 stores that are participating.  Two sims full of favorites, and I’m sure you will still find a few ‘new to you’ places!  The regions are arranged  with a variety of stores and family oriented stores on POSE FAIR NORTH, and more mature and adult content stores on POSE FAIR SOUTH.  For a listing of stores, and slurls check out the Pose Fair 2012 post here.

Pose Fair 2012 also is having a Photography Competition on Flickr, with judging taking place on May 2nd.  Featuring prizes of $15,000L for First Place, $10,000L for Second Place, and $5,000L for Third Place!

Overgrowth

Helena Stringer of The Stringer Mausoleum has created this stunning hair called Overgrowth, that is unisex and comes in two varieties-petite, and massive.  I am wearing the massive, with the separate attachment included called the Mega Firestorm Flower.  The hair comes with two separately attachable flowers Firestorm Flower, and Maneater, in both Mega and Petite sizes. The hair is available in a number of colors.  This hair will be available as part of the Crazy Hair Hunt.  The hunt begins March 31st, and features 65 participating stores that specially created unique hair in the Flora & Fauna theme for this year.  Participating stores are not hair stores, but stores that feature other items from home & garden, to building aids. The love of building, theme, and imagination is the key here.  Check out the CHH Flickr Group, to see more hunt hairs!

I recently blogged the new leggings from Maitreya, and I still can’t take them off.  Shown here are from the Shine packs, in Black, and White in the couture edition that’s included in purchase (it means it has a pony wedge heel attached).  I’m also wearing Mimikri‘s Dusk Leather Bustier’s in Black, and White.

My skin is from Idiosyncrasy, only $95L and is currently available at My Attic until March 31st.  See my notes below.  It’s vintage inspired and I love how precise the lips are. Check out the My Attic Flickr Group to see more items at the event.

Strigidae & Tytonidae

The past two weeks have been full of fashion, and great finds.  Maitreya recently did a mesh release, shown here are their leggings from that.  Buy by the color or color/fabric pack, and you get not only the leggings, but the ‘couture’ leggings that feature this pony wedge shoe that is combined, which is great if you wanna throw them on and go, and not hunt for shoes.  Love it! The texturing on them is incredibly well done, and the form they leave you with is this amazing butt.  No lie! I’m wearing a new find from Happy with them a tunic dress shirt called Uptown.  I love the sleeves, and cuffs, and how it drapes over my hips.

My skin is from Idiosyncrasy, only $95L and is currently available at My Attic until March 31st.  See my notes below.  It’s vintage inspired and I love how precise the lips are. Check out the My Attic Flickr Group to see more items at the event.

My hair is a stunning Crazy Hair Hunt item created by Gumi’s Flower Shop.  It fully frames the head with a nest of sticks, and twigs, with two owls perched on top. The Crazy Hair Hunt begins March 31st, and features 65 participating stores that specially created unique hair in the Flora & Fauna theme for this year.  Participating stores are not hair stores, but stores that feature other items from home & garden, to building aids. The love of building, theme, and imagination is the key here.  Check out the CHH Flickr Group, to see more hunt hairs!  Psst!  I made hair too! Will blog it tomorrow or so.

Le Dinner Guest

Recently I was invited over to Sasy’s for dinner.  I threw on a cocktail dress from Connors, added two, yes, two sets of false eyelashes for drama, and bundled up in my Harris Tweed Coat from S H I.  I love this coat, so warm, and very chic.  I also love my concave cut from SLink, it’s beautiful, sleek, and perfect all the way around.

Hair Fair 2011 – Whose Hair will you Wear?

It is time for our Second Hair Fair 2011 Photo Contest. When this years build was created, it was always the intention of the committee to make it as photogenic as possible. We invited aDORKable Poses to join us once again in this endeavour. This year they have exceeded our expectations, and the sims are really fun to be at.

Many have already taken such incredible pictures of the builds, we want to step that up into a mix of Hair Fairs latest releases, you and the pose oppurtunities available. This contest starts NOW and will end on the day after Hair Fair officially closes – which is the 16th of July at midnight.

The photo you enter must have you – or someone granting you permission to take their pic – in the photo with NEW Hair Fair 2011 hair on. Posed on one of the aDORKable poseballs set up at the fair, with the prop and/or fairground in the background. The hair must be recognisable as Hair Fair 2011 hair, and the pose must also be recognisable as one at the event. So be careful when cropping your pictures.

You will find all the rules on the flickr group page, but please please make sure you tag the photos and put the description in as asked. Failure to do so will void your entry, and that makes us cry.

Prizes have been donated by What’s New SL, aDORKable Poses  and VR Studio.
