I thought Splendor Solis was the only new item that Matchbook Monday would release for her fundraiser, so imagine my surprise and delight when Suki was released for the event! It's hard for me to pick a favorite Amorous item, but this is probably it. (Watch me say those same words when she releases something new in the future). Of course, you get options! You can resize, of course, and you've five color options for the metal and the plates; that applies to both necklace and earrings.

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

I'm working a bit, so that's why it's been NINE days since I posted last. However, I had to stop by to show you a few things!

First, here's the new skin from vive9, Maliah! I purchased her in the darkest tone available, which is SPF308, aka DeepExpresso. Maliah is SO beautiful! The bone structure is out of this world. The lips need no cosmetics, but there are some available, of course! I've dressed her in many things since I got her yesterday, but this is the most fitting getup so far. She's got a really innocent look, and so she looked odd, to me, in my SWAG stuff. I'm very interested in seeing what other bloggers do with her. I'm sure she's already been dressed up in so many ways; I've just got to get around to viewing them! So there are the nine usual suspects (skin tone packs), and each package, you get five skins (the base skin; three with light brown, brown and black brows; and one with no brows), an eyebrow shaper, six beauty mark layers, a freckles layer, a cat-eye makeup layer, and a deep blush layer! That's for 1,095L. Then, there are makeup (eye AND lip) and cleavage add-ons. I bought a line of the lipsticks for 175L, with three lipsticks inside of the pack. I have a feeling that I will wear this skin out; I'm just warning you! 

Then, there's the Boho Culture Fair, which starts on October 15th! I'm really excited about this fair. I haven't seen much of what will be offered there, but, as you can see, there's going to be some really nice stuff. Do you know what my favorite brand is? It's Free People. NO ONE likes to go to Belk with me anymore because they KNOW I'm headed to the FP section, and I'm going to be there for a while. Free People stuff is exactly the type of stuff I'm hoping to see at the Fair!

Oh man. Thank holy hell for Collabor88's birthday! There's a ton (more than usual) of items that you'll probably have to have. Once I could finally get into it, I bought nearly everything. Shame on me! Be sure to check the SeraphimSL gallery for pictures of items.

I saw this hair on my friend, Melusina Parkin (of Melu Deco) and had to know from whence it came. She revealed that it was created by the shop, Sadistic Hacker. It's an odd name, yet I found this hair there. So don't be too discouraged! :P There are three versions of Nagi available for purchase - one is with long bangs (which I'm wearing), one with short bangs and yet another with a portion of clipped back hair. I'd say that if you are into anime, then you'd probably appreciate this shop.

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

Yes! The VF2012 is now open! And I now show you two of my favorite glittery / sequined dresses!

A word about Indy: As you know, Indy is not exclusive to the Vintage Fair. It was released recently, so you can also find this skin at Inka's mainstore at the Red Wing sim. The dark tone is one that is not currently for sale. When I asked Inka if she would ever consider darker tones, she replied almost immediately with this dark tone. So she was already working on a dark tone and let me test this out. Her dark tone for Indy is a bit darker than my Indy in dark; it's called "Black." I love Dark, and I love Black, but Dark is my tone of choice for Indy!

I should mention that the CIA dress only came with an alpha for the lower body portion. Thus, when I posed, skin on Inferna's torso showed through! Thus, I used an alpha from another long dress - 22679's Anastasia dress - so that I could pose freely. I'm not sure if my object failed to copy fully to my inventory, or if the alpha just wasn't full enough for the dress. Just be sure to check that out before purchasing if you can't easily replace the alpha with a fuller one.

I think that's about it. You've got shopping to do! Each "VF2012" above takes you to the direct booth of that particular designer. But please use this page for a map and SLurls to all the VF stores! Well, all is there, from what I can tell, except GOTZSCHE; I asked for this SLurl from the designer because I didn't see it on the SLurl list. But you've got it up above!

I hope you'll enjoy the Fair!

A demain...

I'm SO excited about the Vintage Fair 2012 (VF2012) that runs from August 4th until August 29th! We're all in for a treat because the list of participating designers is pretty handsome and plenty hefty. There are over 250 of them! Use this page and this page to keep up with the VF2012! The latter page is the home page for the CHIC Management website; thus, you can use it to keep up with updates from CHIC in general.

VF2012 is sponsored by Aura, Belleza, Indyra Originals, oOo Studios, Cheeky Pea, ColdLogic, GizzA, Tromp Loeil, and PurpleMoon Creations, and, of course, those brands are also offering amazing products at the Fair. Over the next few days, I'll be showing you just what you can get at the Fair. I've already started; these eyes are so fabulous. I got the brown pack, but there are also other color packs, such as blue, green and fantasy colors. If the latter three are anything like my brown pack, you'll get 18 sets of eyes. That's three sizes (S/M/L) for each of six variations for the color you choose!

/me breathes in deeply and sharply. I'm doomed to forget SOMETHING; there's just so much!

Well...  to celebrate her Facebook page reaching 1,000 likes, Gogo (of Juicy Bomb) shared five of her studio windlight settings with her readers! I'm using one of those that I edited just a tiny bit. It didn't need editing, but I like messing around with stuff. THANK YOU, GOGO! I am very thankful for those because I SUCK at making my own windlight settings.

I usually don't mention my shape in my credits. That's because, unlike skins, for example, the shape I have used in almost all of my entries for the past three months is modifiable. Because it's modifiable, I'd hate to say "This is this shape" and have readers think their face and body shape will resemble mine in any way. It's mod, and because I like to make stuff my own, I've messed around with my staple shape. That shape is Izzie's Cassandra shape, which is including in each Cassandra skin tone pack. Izzie always includes a shape in her skin packs, AND those shapes are always modifiable. This time, however, I'm using another shape called Dublin from Shakeup! While Carrie finds another mainstore location for Shakeup!, her shapes and other products are on sale! This shape, and the others, are on sale for only 100L! I provided the link above; use it frequently! Well, I didn't use it freely because I bought three at the same time! For only 100L each, you can buy several of her awesome shapes. 

Now, hair. This [men's] hair is from the Haaaiiir Faaaiiiir 2012! I just had to provide a shot of the hair from the side, so you could see the awesomeness of the hair AND the hairbase. This is now one of my favorite pixie cuts, along with Exile's Nina and Burley's Ethan. This is what I used to get around the HF2012; it really made things much easier.

Finally, I think, is the ring. You can get the ring and earrings in a single set at the current TDR Blue collection. You'd have to go to the Kunglers Extra store to complete the set with the matching necklace; it's 70L just as the set is at TDR Blue. So what are you waiting for? GET!

If I've forgotten something, I will update the entry tomorrow. I'll also add the pictures to my Flickr page and update some SLurls!

POSES: Cinnabar (Marukin) - current C88 item!

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

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,. Chandelle Designs, Ana-Mations, Prodigal, Wasabi Pills, Fri.Day, Holli Pocket,  Liquid Honey, Don't Freak Out, TuttiFruitti, Ever an Angel, cHelle, Shush, Adorkable,  Virtual Insanity, Avisage, Blah, A and S Visions,  Gorean Rose, Zwicked Textures, Candydoll, Burner Engine Works,  Adoration Home and Gardens, Wild Style Fashions, Ju, Addiction Jewelry, LionSkins, Fear Us, The Death, Doves and Crows, Patron/Wildchild & Muse, U-Poser, Little Tasta, Little Vulo Lula, AngelRED Couture, LoMos Designs, Fallen Gods, Inc

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!

Benign

WHAT I'M WEARING:

Top: Crush #Grass (Emery)
Skirt: Ebby - Sommelier (Emery)
Shoes: Baby T's - Plain - Hot Yellow ([PM] Pixel Mode)
Hair: Ethan - Dark Browns ([BURLEY])
Earrings: Jeselle Earrings (Eluzion) - Group Gift
Bracelet:Wood Bangles Gift (Beachwood)

I was standing on the rooftop of one of my absolutely favorite stores, Amorous! Speaking of Amorous, here are some screenshots of some of her vendor art.

Enjoy!

(Also, I'm going to add another section to this blog, listing the SLurls for most creators of items I've worn).

Icebreaker

 

  

What I'm Wearing:


Skin: Phoebe2 (LAQ)
Hair: Astrid (Truth)
Makeup: Lipstick gift from LpD (Les Petit Details)
Leg Tattoo: "Flowers Again Flowers" Dollarbie
Top: ::LC:: POP Denium Blank Corset [monroe]
Skirt: Accountant Tied Up (Phoenix Rising)*
Earrings: Dalia (Loordes of London)
Necklace: Necklace Spring (**Just You**)**
Shoes: Baby T's - Plain - Hot Pink (Pixel Mode)

* The Accountant Tied-up is an outfit, including a top and a tie. I am wearing only the skirt from the outfit. Also, for your information, and please try not to drown me in kisses for telling you this (:P), but everything at Phoenix Rising is 25L. EVERYTHING. There are also items for men. I participated in the store's closing sale some months ago. I'm sure there's no longer a store, but here's the marketplace link to the storefront.

** I obtained this necklace during the second Mix and Match Hunt. A friend complimented me on the necklace, and I attempted to find the item for her. However, I just couldn't find it! It was then that I realized it was a hunt item and that, perhaps, the item was not generally available. If you participated in that hunt, then you probably have this necklace. If you didn't, well... shame on you!

If you don't know about TRUTH yet, then you've either 1) been living under a large rock OR 2) just created a SL account. Truth makes wonderful hair. I have so much Truth hair, it should be criminal. In fact, I should soon dedicate an entire entry to my Truth hairstyles.

Also, I love the "blank denium corset"I'm wearing. I found it by accident. I was shopping at \Remy/, my new favorite place, and I happened to look across the "street." There, I found this wonderful corset along with maybe two others. I picked this one because, well, it has Marilyn Monroe's face on it! DUH!

A demain!
