Did you all know that you could easily find the RGB code to any color under your cursor? It's a great tool for matching your gloves layers for nails, body parts and perhaps other items to your skin color! However, I'll tell you what; you do NOT want to leave it on when you are taking pictures. Yours truly FORGOT to uncheck the option, and it was all over the pictures I'd taken. If it weren't for the clone and healing brushes in Photoshop... Sigh...

ANYWAY, there's some deliciousness for you! Let's start with the new LAQ skins from the new Essential line! Oh my goodness, where to start!

I've always loved LAQ skins for, not only the beauty, but how realistic the face and textures are. I could totally eat Elle's nose and Saga's lips. I remember my first LAQ skin, Phoebe. I wore that thing out, and I believe I'll be doing the same for these two.

I'll mention the cost because it will naturally lead to a discussion of the skins' additional features. There are seven skin tones, from 1.0 to 4.0 (1.0, 1.5, 2.0, etc.), each 0.5 upgrade darker than the one before. Each tone costs 1,990L. Now, before, 1,990L bought you 10 skins, each with different makeups (or, actually, 20 skins - ten makeups, hairbase on/off). This time, however, you get only one skin inside the pack. But BEFORE you think, like I did initially, "WHOA! No way!" let me explain why this will be a 1,990L well-spent.

It's LAQ, so you know the quality is going to be insane. In fact, Mallory Cowen (LAQ owner) has made some modifications to the body in the interest of matching real skin even more closely than before. Here's a picture of the mods:

Secondly, the new Essential line brings lots of new options to customize your skin. First, The hairbase are on tattoo layers, instead of being painted on (inseparable from) the actual skin. And there's four hairbases included inside the pack (black, blonde, brown and red). A [non-modifiable] shape is included, which I don't think was the practice before. There are also cleavage layers (undershirt and tattoo layers), an eyebrow shaper, prim eyes, and two eye makeup layers (eyeliner and smokey eye makeup). And I haven't gotten to the most exciting thing about the Essential line! 

Inside each tone pack - and, believe me, I am so happy to tell you about this! - there are what I'd like to call "interchangeables." Let's say you buy Elle in any tone. On top of the aforementioned add-ons, also included in the pack are five "interchangeables" in tattoo-layer form. Those five layers are: eyebrows, eyelids, nose, mouth and lip gloss. If you later bought Saga and decided that you wanted Elle's mouth on her, you could go to your Elle pack and wear Elle's mouth (the tattoo layer) on your Saga skin. Thus, Mallory's given us tools to change our faces! This is such a cool thing. You can believe that I will be playing around with both Elle and Saga, having them sample each other's faces! /mad scientist laugh.
Plus, Mallory indicates on her blog and elsewhere that these interchangeables are the first but not the last. Thus, we might be offered, in the future, even more "virtual plastic surgery" options. Got your scalpel ready?

Also, I'd read that Mallory had received feedback that customers wanted the makeup on tattoo layers, as opposed to included on the skin. Thus, eye makeup and lipsticks can be purchased for $100 each. The eye makeup can be applied to both skins, while the lipsticks are specific to the skin.

Thus, although it may seem as if the cost is a bit steep, you really do get to enjoy benefits of the new Essential skin line that you will not see in other places. Here's where you can go and get your own Elle, Saga or both! Make sure you also read LAQ's blog for more information on the new Essential skin line.

Also, two other things to mention:

First, don't forget about Matchbook Monday's fundraiser, Tomorrow Today! Because she is such an appreciative, unassuming person, she's really thankful for what she's raised thus far. I am also thankful to those who have come out and shown support. However, I'm convinced we can all do so much better for her! Thus far, she's only raised 244,817L! That's a LOT, but considering where she needs to be, we've got some work to do! When Gala had her One Voice fundraiser, the amount raised was phenomenal; it should be the same for this fundraiser and for this cause. I know it can be! So make sure you tell your friends and anyone who will listen! Go to Matchbook's blog to keep up with the going-ons of the event.

Finally, I have updated, added and deleted landmarks and added events to the "Markin' up the Calendar" section. Next, I'd like to add, to that same section, the recurrences for each event.

Have fun shopping!

A demain...

EDIT: I knew I forgot something! I forgot to tell you how to get to the RGB code-thingy. Enable your Developer menu (this option is in the "Preferences" window. Preferences --> Advanced --> "Show Developer Menu" (tick the box)). Once the Developer menu is enabled, it will appear along with "Avatar," "Comm," "World," etc. at the top of your window. Then, enable Develop --> Show Info --> Show Color Under Cursor.

Also, I recently learned of some "problematic," I'll say, opinions on the Tomorrow Today fundraiser. Oh, the bravery granted by Internet anonymity. Some are making a distinction between Gala's fundraiser and Matchbook's fundraiser. Gala's issue is characterized as a "legal fight," while Matchbook's is simplified down to ... "teeth." If it were a fair discussion to begin with, in that case, it would have been "legal fight" and "hindrance to well-being" OR "virtual skin" and "teeth." But it wasn't compared fairly. Thus, I cannot even take that argument seriously. Second, as in the case of Gala's fundraiser, buyers are not giving away money; they are getting something in return. Want a fatpack of new Truth hair? For 300L, you can have it. Why one would care about anything beyond that baffles the mind. Third, I've seen claims that information provided by Matchbook is not thorough enough. You've seen Matchbook's blog by now; it is replete with information about this situation. Need more? Ask. (In fact, she's planning to add more). Need a picture? Ask. Don't care? Well, don't donate or buy. And certainly don't publicly blast the girl for seeking help.

I can even understand and respect the decision to not donate on the grounds that one does not find the cause worthy (or explained to their liking). But to question Matchbook's "ethics" (dictionaries are our friends) publicly is far too much, especially considering nay-sayers can just IM her and satisfy any burning questions or concerns.

It is hard for me to fathom drawing some meaningless distinction between one person's fundraiser and another's. It doesn't hurt less because one sees it as as less severe / important than another's struggle.

I'm disappointed in those particular responses, sure. But that is certainly not to take away from what has been given and/or purchased so far. We want to keep that up! Great job, and thank you to all those folks! :D

UGH! Excuse me for all the jagged lines. I hate those jagged lines. For some reason, even with the appropriate settings in graphics, they are quite obvious. Then again, I'm on a really old computer because mine refuses to keep an internet connection for longer than 30 minutes. I'm supposed to be calling the manager of a certain store in less than 30 minutes to ask for a new computer to replace mine. A computer than is less than seven months old shouldn't have the problems that it has, and experience them at this frequency.

 

In any case, I hope you'll still be able to see - even with jagged edges - all the things you have to get! 

 

Don't forget to visit this page for more information on the Fair! When you do, at the time of this posting, the first thing you'll hear is Pitbull's voice. I could listen to this man talk/rap forever. :P

Matchbook [Monday] kills me. You know it. Her Fallen set (earrings and necklace) is what she's offering at the L'Accesoires event that changes on the 15th of each month. I believe this is her first time participating at the event. But I certainly hope it won't be her last. You can change the texture of both the chain and the necklace, and the changes you select happen simultaneously to both. Here's a closer look at the set, which is available in at least eight colors (midnight shown here):

Her watch is a new release, and DAMN is it awesome. Here's a closer look:

 

I'm so excited about the versatility of this watch. First, I have very few good watches in the ol' inventory. I just usually don't wear them. (DOWN WITH PRACTICALITY!). However, I count this among the few that I have and really, really like.

You'd think you could only change the textures of two or three elements of the watch, but no! You can change the textures of 1) the cord, 2) the metal, 3) the wood, 4) the face and 5) YES, the hands! I think it's pretty damned cool that you can change the color of the tiny little hands, but when I expressed this to Matchbook, the foolish girl that she is, she replied that it's not that big of a deal. She's an extremely meticulous worker, and I loooooooove it. As you can see in the picture, I also changed the color around the face of the watch, which you can control under "Flavor." Now, you also have the option to turn hovertext on and off AND the same option for daylight savings time. You'd access that menu by clicking the face of the watch, and you'd access the usuals (resize, texture, flavor, control, etc.) by click on anything other than the face. The texture of the wood that you see in the above pictures is "Animal," and it's my favorite!

That's about it for now. I'm SO excited about composing a Halloween look. Is there any holiday more fun than Halloween? What's that? "No," you say? AGREED! :D

A demain...

EDIT: I forgot to mention that you get a little bonus inside each of the eight versions (colors) of Silence that you buy! NO, I WILL NOT TELL YOU MORE! ;)

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

Sooooo have you heard of Colombia Cosmetics? I've provided the link to Colombia's (the name of the creator and the store) Flickr page. For each vendor art on that page, she's provided a link to the respective marketplace item. There's lipstick, eye makeup, face paint and eyes! You'll not only be a fan of the makeups. You'll also enjoy the titles of the individual colors! For instance, Politana comes in these colors: Astrayed, Confident, Dare, Romana, Tramp and Youth. Another of her lipsticks, Dahlia, includes Jesus Died, Monaster, New Times, No Hair Today, Pyramid, Rapist Suit, Rebuked and Respected Eventually. I love different, quirky and seemingly irrelevant titles because they inspire a need to reconcile the title with the logic behind it. "No Hair Today," a blue, makes me wonder. Why did Colombia think of "No Hair Today" when making this blue or vice versa?

The Bilo dress was sold at the Cupcakes Bake Sale for only 50L in two colors, blueberry and raspberry. But now you can buy it inworld in additional colors, including black, leaf and scarlet! Or you can buy them at Chandra's MP store. (Why did I just look at her MP store? With 11L, I'm just teasing myself). I love that the dress is only partially mesh. Everything is system clothing layers except the mesh flap to make the skirt. I've told friends very often, "death to prim skirts" or "down with prim skirts," because really? Shorts with front flap = skirt? Ugh. But mesh flaps fit and blend in so much better! I doubt that you can tell that Inferna's wearing a flap.

That's about it!

It's been a while! Or, by my standards, it's been a while. I've been working a bit, so I've been on SL less.

ANYWAY. Enough of the excuses. O.M.G. Indyra Seigo has delivered to us the almighty Vicereine. As you can see, it's elegant, picturesque, sexy and dark. Besides these, it is flexible. Vicereine allows you to be several different girls. As Indyra describes it, there's something for the "uncommon Vamptress." Here, I'm regal and mysterious. Below, I'm misbehaved and inviting.

Paired with the lingerie is the Renata hair in Dusky from GOTZSCHE for Fameshed (until September 29th); the Zodiac Necklace (Sagittarius) from Amorous and two of the three bracelets in the NEW "Bangled," also from Amorous; Lethal Couture's NEW Lightning Bolt Pumps in Black; the Bizarre Flower ring from LaGyo at the August C88 collection; and Soiree's La Creme Lipstick in Punish!

And there's also a pant suit! So you'd use the pants and the flared pant cuffs instead of the gown.

I may have lost count, but I counted 46 different articles of clothing in the pack. 46 = endless fun.

And, I kid you not, you'll only have to "give up" 795L for such beautiful and versatile attire. That is a really fair price, considering not only what you get but what you can make out of your set.

Here's the vendor art:

I'm excited! A new brand and new stuffs (from a familiar store) makes me so!

I was on the quest for new makeup, lipstick specifically. I LOVE my Shakeup! lipsticks. They match well with every single skin I have in my favorites folder (All 33 of 'em - although some of those skins include lipsticks already). However, I wanted to try something different! Plus, all of us bloggers aim to bring notice to new brands, not only for that brand but for blog readers and/or fashionistas. 

Thus, I started looking for lipsticks on the Marketplace and I came upon Soiree! It's just a baby - less than one month old - but one can easily tell that Soiree will blow up! The lipstick that I am wearing, La Creme, comes in 30 colors. Each color comes in teeth / no teeth options for 80L; you can see the teeth/no teeth options above. And you can buy the fatpack of 60 lipsticks for 800L. There's also a wonderful "tool" (it's actually a tattoo layer) that does WONDERS for your facial bone structure (that's why I call it a tool) and an upcoming line of SOMETHING which I will not reveal (:P). So visit Julep's MP store now!

There's also new stuffs at one of my favorite jewelry store, Amorous! Damn, that Matchbook Monday can do amazing things with her brain, fingers and computer, yeah? I can't really do justice to these beautiful, "dangly" earrings. So here's the vendor art:

That should help you better understand the awesomeness of the earrings I'm wearing in these pictures.

This is not all of her new stuff; there's also some bracelets, which will probably be in the one or more of the next few posts. You can head on over to Matchbook's blog to get a preview of those bangles, called Bangled, in case you can't wait! 

I'm off to hover over the new TDR Blue, FLF and fi*Fridays collections!

So, remember when I said that B L E U had no inworld store and only a MP one? Well... I LIED! Jelani has created an inworld store in which you can find all of her pretty, shiny things. YAY!

The Lightning Bolt Pumps are available in ten colors, and they are all wonderful. My favorite part about the shoes are the heels, which are color-change! You can change the heels to 12 different colors; I'd like to think you could accentuate any color (or match colors) in your outfit with that range of customization!

Aaaaaaand the Mesh Rag and Bone pants come in five colors and mesh sizes XS, S, M, L and XL.

That's it for today! But there's so much more new stuff to blog tomorrow.

EDIT: If you already have Ankh, then I've great news for you! Matchbook has released an updated version. The update offers three additional metal colors! If you haven't already received the update, then you can go to Amorous redelivery terminal, find and click your Ankh transaction and voila! You'll have the updated version. The first one is pretty damned awesome; this one is even more so.

There are also updates for Retrospect and Ahki!

I love LC's shorter alternative to (or shorter version of) the "fishtail" skirt. The fit is sexy; it fits tightly and adds curves. And it's available in several colors! I couldn't think of any better shoes than LC's Amen Distress Booties. I don't know if I gave this warning in the entry that first references these boots, but I will probably wear them often. They are just my style and go with skirts, jeans, shorts - everything - especially skirts. 

Collabor88 is moving to its own sim! You'll be able to get onto that sim in two days. I'm not sure, but perhaps it will help with lag. Because it's pretty well known that every edition of C88 will rock, it's laggy as soon as word gets out that the newest collection is available. Perhaps the event having its own sim will help with that. WHO KNOWS? I don't want to get you all excited about the possible death of Mr. Lag Monster, but ... 

ANYWAY... finally, I found this clutch at an earlier fi*Fridays edition. And, for only 55L, one got two clutches with poses (one for left hand and one for right hand) and a no-pose version. From what I hear (don't tell anyone, okay?), there will be more of these in various colors. I have a gazillion clutches, but as my friend, Mikaela, reminded me, there is just no such thing as "too many clutches."

I suppose that's it for the day.

She's (by she, I mean UnobtainableG Resident, owner of [l u x]) got some pretty things, perfect for mix-and-match whores such as myself. :P Her inventory, of course, is not so large, but it shows such promise. If this is what we have already, I can't wait to see what's in store for us!

I wanted to participate in the Mon Tissu contest; I've more than enough MT items in the ol' inventory. However, I just don't have the resources (aka LINDEN) to accessorize the way I wanted and needed to. BUT! This did not stop me from "securing" these awesome jeans. At first, I thought "you have PLENTY of MT clothes; you need MT accessories." And I only had about 300L at the time. But, in the end, these jeans won me over. Thus, I forfeited the lovely fedora here that I really wanted... and the shoes I wanted... and the boots I wanted. Another time, maybe... But I don't regret getting these jeans; they are SO SO perfect. These are my first mesh jeans, and I ain't lookin' back!

I do wish those who can and will compete the best of luck! 

These jeans have belt loops / no belt loops versions for two cuff fits (flats and heels), so you get a total of four versions in five mesh sizes. The fit is pretty damned awesome. I WISH there were jeans that did for my body what these jeans do for Inferna!
