-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ugh! Where do I even start? I guess I'll go down the list.

First, we have this lovely skin, Nikita. Not only is it a new SKIN, it's from a new skin designer named Aimee Novo and her new store, EiDOLAN Skins! I'm wearing the tan tone, which, for now, is the darkest available. Aimee does aspire to include a darker tone for future skins (and possibly Nikita as well), but she wants to make sure to get the dark tone just right! I paired the skin with separate eye makeup and lipstick only because the same that was included in the skin pack would not rez at all for me last night! Once I finish this entry, I will try again and update the entry, so you can see what you get for your buck. The pack (whichever you choose of the Fair, Pale, Sun, and Tan tones) also includes an eyeshaper. Each tone costs a mere 500L!

This. Hair. Is. Fabulous. I had to have it. This is only one of Clawtooth's four offerings at the HF2012. It's got just enough of cool and rockabilly and sexy. Go - no, RUN - here to see the other Clawtooth HF2012 hairs, Serendipity, Gossamer Rain and Going Steady. And then hurry to the Flower sim of the HF2012 and snatch them up, lest you not look delectable and too cool to touch! I must also give an enormous kudos to the organizers of the Hair Fair 2012. I was only six months old or so when the HF2011 occurred, so I have no idea whether or not this was done before, but the demo group was such a grand idea! I can only imagine how much easier it made [second] lives. Before you went, you probably knew what you wanted, which made you feel less aimless, and you probably also used the SLurl map to get to the hair you'd previously seen in the demo group. I love it!

Finally, I really could not get over these shades. I laughed my butt off when I saw them! Hey, you perverts, I could be talking about several things other than body parts that shall remained undisclosed. And... I suppose I am a pervert for assuming you had perverted thoughts? In either case, it is the perfect accessory for my ultra-cool hair. As with all the ShadZ shades, you can change the colors of the frames with ten different color options and you can resize the shades with a simple click.

Get to shopping!

Did you notice that I hadn't blogged from the ninth until today? OBVIOUSLY, I had to redeem myself.

I had been working on these images before the "Dead End" pictures but put them on hold. I am a blogger for the One Voice event and that, to me, was more pressing than what I usually do. But I wanted to make shadows! I use Firestorm, and I'm guessing Kirsten's Viewer is the only one with shadows (?). So I had to make my own in Photoshop. They add so much to a photo.

I will probably blog a "One Voice" look again, but it'll be special for an undisclosed reason. :P

A demain...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I cannot say enough about the One Voice event.

First of all, Gala DESERVES this. And more importantly, the right to "create" freely sans harassment deserves this. I'm so very proud and ecstatic to have the opportunity to not only attend the One Voice event but to serve as a blogger. 

Secondly, and in line with the first point, I'm so glad that the SL community is behind Gala. It truly disgusts me when I think about what this woman is enduring and will be enduring until this issue is resolved, not to the mention the ridiculous amount of money it will cost to defend herself. And for what? Ugh. Damn jealousy, greed, and insecurity.

Third, there are SO many great designers and exclusive items at the event, all for sale to raise as much money as possible for Gala's court fees and other losses. 

If you do not attend, well... first of all, you suck. Secondly, you miss these designers (inhales sharply):

Gos, Belleza, Glam Affair, League,  Ingenue,  Aura, OneBadPixel, Exile, Luck inc,  North West, A.D.D. Andel, Pink Fuel, Laqroki,  Solange, N-Core, LouLou & Co, Body Doubles, IKON, Mon Cherie, This is a Fawn,  LW,  Bare Rose,  The Looking Glass, Balderdash - Bagatelle & Trinketry, Silent Sparrow, Schadenfreude, Wet Cat, Purple Moon, Indyra Originals, E! Apparel & Accessories, elymode, Al Vulo, Lust Shapes, Vanity Hair, Curious Kitties, Manna,  Lassitude & Ennui, RC Cluster, Ducknipple,  Sleeping Koala, Savior Faire/Aphrodisiac, *Anymore, DCD, BOOM,  Lisp Bazaar,  Flowey, La Petite Morte, Contraption, HOD, Divalicious, Ego Co, MINA Hair, RnB Furniture, Kinki Animations, Medley, Faerycat Designs, By Snow, Insatiable Fashions, Essences, ANNA Shapes, Delusions/Sweet Tart, Sakide, Nzuri, {me} Jewelry, Pulse Skins, CoLLisions, HANDverk, Chop Zuey, AlterEgo, SAX Shepard Designs,  Blacklace,  Bent, Amarelo Manga,  Laura Hurley Skins,  The Sea Hole, Toki-Doki, Mela's, La Galleria, Culprit,  Censored, Art Dummy, Zibska/Zibware, Razorblade Jacket,.

Y'know... no big deal. :P

Of course, there have been issues of lag and downright inability to TP into the sim. Duh! I usually wait a few days for big events like these or discount collections (ESPECIALLY C88), though I have to admit it kills me to do so.  But if you can't wait, try. And if that doesn't work, some stores have decided to place their donation items in their stores for sale! Use this page for real-time (aspiring to be, at least) information on those stores that will sell their items at their respective stores!

POSES: Label Motion and -no wow-

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First of all, I'm SO glad and relieved that FLF is back. And the just-past edition was out of this world. I bought nearly all items, and that is rare. I usually buy the MIEL item, no matter what it is - scarf, boots, watch, you name it. And I buy a few other items. But this time, I think I didn't buy only one of the 10 offerings. Is it Friday again yet? 

That said, these Fit Shorts were MIEL's yesterday FLF item. You can change what your butt says (hmmm...). The HUD to do so is super easy to use. If you didn't purchase these yesterday, you can still drop by MIEL to see if the item is still out for 50L. I'm sure it's still 50L because it is still 50L on the MP. You can purchase the bright version or the natural version.

I put "Sear Me" on my butt because one of my favorite songs from my favorite band (not one of my favorite bands, but my favorite band), My Dying Bride, is called Sear Me III. Here! Have a listen!
