I cannot tell you how awesome this location is!

I was looking for a place at which I could snap these pictures, and I found a LM for the Molto Bene store. Obviously, it was outdated, but I didn't know that at the time. I landed at someone's home, and I fell in love with it! The owner of the land and home happened to be online at the time, and upon my asking, she allowed me to use her home. How nice, yeah? A total stranger landing at your home and wanting to use it for pictures? 

I’ve never really taken a look at LAQ décor, but I really must. Thank you, Gaia Chester, for allowing me to use your land and home AND for showing me that LAQ can create much more than pretty skins!

Another post coming up in a few minutes!

(Actually, my computer is experiencing yet MORE network issues. Thus, I will probably not be able to post until tomorrow).

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

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!

WHAT I'M WEARING:

SKIN: Nikita in Tan (EiDOLAN Skins) - NEW!!!

EYES: Monet Truffle (Shine)

LIPSTICK: Princess Rehab LipColor Matte [of Imma Diva Collection] (PIDIDDLE)

HAIR: Starlight in Orange You Glad (Clawtooth): Available NOW at the Hair Fair 2012 event!

HAIRBASE: Carrot (Truth)

NAILS: Drop Dead Red Manicure Prim Nails (*Sexy Mamas*)

RINGS: Antique Moon Stone Rings Set in Patina (The Sea Hole) - Available NOW at C88!

POSES: Cinnabar (Marukin) - Available NOW at C88!; (pda)

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

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!

 11:00am: Incubus

I have no idea why, but this song has been in my head this morning. It wasn't the reason I named this outfit and blog post after the song. After finishing composing the pictures, and I took one last gander at them before posting, they just felt like "11:00am."

Also, be thankful that the link I posted to the song does not feature the official video or even a live performance. Because then you would naturally have to gaze upon the lead singer's, Brandon Boyd, lean, Inferna-ready body and his handsome face. Then, I would have to maim you.

I've got another Illusory skin! Illusory skins are, from what I have seen so far, are 1,000L each. For what you get in each pack, that's a pretty sweet deal. However, it's not so easy to come up with 1,000L every time a new Illusory skin is released. Now that Illusory and Aura are teaming up to offer their items to us lucky SL residents under ONE brand, there was (and still exists) an awesome sale at Illusory and Aura. Most things are 50%, including this skin. I got it for 500L! So can you! This is the Paige skin, and the Love skin (which I've blogged many times and which you can see up above, in my banner) is also on sale for 500L. The sale will last for an undetermined amount of time, but I wouldn't risk missing the sale, since that could mean the sale will end at any time. Look to the right to find the link to Illusory!

I should really start hunting like I used to. These are some of my favorite pumps, and I paid nothing for them. Hunts = win!

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!

And for the weather report? Right now, it's 97.9 degrees, and it feels like 111 degrees. Earlier, it was 95.4 degrees but felt like 114 degrees. How nice, right? 

Here's a bonus! I took 13 photos of my pup with a friend's baby. CUTE!

I'm almost positive that you won't find this [p.c.] gown in-world. I'm sure that this gown is part of store creator's, Ava Lu's, older (and now unavailable-inworld) collection. Therefore, because it's so awesome, here is the link to purchase it on the MP for only 400L! If you hit the "visit store" link under Ms. Lu's name on this page, you'll find other equally delicious, must-have gowns and outfits.

Guess what? We're under a heat advisory here in ol' 'Bama. Isn't that nice? Right now, it is 100 degrees but feels like 103 degrees. W.T.F. Thank bloody hell for Black Walnut ice cream on days like these!

I've not much to say today, I suppose. It's 101 degrees here, with a humidity of 29%. I'm miserable, and even sadder for my terrier mix, who has way more hair than I do! I hope this entry is still informative, though! I'll update this entry (or write another entry) when it's cooler.

NECKLACE: Kandula Necklace in Gold (*League*)

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

What is HAPPENING to me? I think I'm starting to like GIMP! *gasp*

Izzie's got a new skin! Her name is Estella, and she introduces two new tones, cocoa and ebony. They both are darker than Izzie's previously darkest tone, mocha, with ebony being the darkest. I am SO happy with this release. As usual, you get a modifiable (and copyable) shape. I love that so much because shapes are so vital for the way you desire to look. You won't find many creators who give you a skin (and, actually, several skins because of options) AND a modifiable shape for 990L. Now, the dark tones (mocha, cocoa, and ebony) only include one eyebrow option. The skin tones that come with more eyebrow options (dark, light, red, and blonde brows with cleavage/non-cleavage versions of each) cost a mere $1,170L! Also inside each skin tone pack are two freckles tattoo layers (face only or body and face), 12 lipsticks on tattoo layers, 12 eyeshadows on tattoo layers, a nail base on the glove layer, a modifiable/copyable shape, and an eyebrow shaper. Izzie Button, I luvs you!

Also, up until now, the group has not been a VIP group. But now it is at a cost of 250L. Don't be bummed; VIP usually implies, and definitely does mean in this case, monthly gifts that are exclusive to group members! One creator comes to mind who charges a group join fee but does NOT give monthly (or any) gifts that I have seen so far. So this is a 250L well spent!

And the Cassia sandals? They are really neat. You can change the color of the leather (brown or black), the color of your nails, the color of your skin, of course, and the color of the toe rings. You can wear a toe ring on BOTH feet, one feet, or none! I love these things!

I HATE when I can't remember which event from which I purchased an item. I will probably dig and dig until I find out where I got this duffel bag from. I'm thinking it was a discontinue sale where all items headed for retirement were only 50L. I could be wrong, but I am definitely going to try to remember this. That's why blogs exists, so you can know what events are really, really worth your time! It's pretty lame to put "ummmm, I can't remember where I got this from!"

I'll update as soon as I find out. Even if it's discontinued, I'd still like to provide as much information as I can!

WHAT I'M WEARING:

SKIN: Cassandra in Mocha (Izzie's)
LIPSTICK: Dark Red for Cassandra Skin (Izzie's)

EYES: Enchanting Eyes in Dark Brown (Nana)

HAIR: Cleo in Treacle [of Dark Browns pack] (Truth)

NAILS: Drop Dead Red Manicure (*Sexy Mamas*)

TOP: Loose Pocket Tank Sheer in Mustard (Beetlebones)

JEANS: ZebraJeans in Dark Grey (Beatnik)
BOOTS: Dandy Boots Flor (*MIEL*)

EARRINGS: Disk Earrings in Wood (GACHA at Shakeup!)

NECKLACE: Abstract Necklace ([glow] for TDR)
 SUNGLASSES: Swager - Class (ShadZ)
BAG: Mesh Satchel Bag in Vintage (**Shine** for the Private Room Event)

Cassandra is a lovely skin, I must say. Izzie hardly disappoints.

I love freckles and wish I had them in RL. However, I get to live vicariously through Inferna and because of Izzie's Cassandra! Here's another thing I really appreciate about Izzie's; considering what you receive in the box when you purchase the skin, Ms. Button's creations are a steal!

I LOVE the skin I used in the previous entry. That skin is called "Love" by Illusory. I downright love it. However, it costed 1,000L, and the package includes four versions of the skin (DB Teeth and No-Teeth and LB Teeth and No-Teeth. I say "DB" and "LB" because, honestly, I have no idea what the difference is. I'm sure it's light and dark something, but I really don't know!), 30 lipsticks (15 with teeth and 15 without), a freckles tattoo and four eyebrow shapers. That's not bad at all! But then, here is what comes in Cassandra's package: eight skins (again, DB and LB versions of Cassandra with cleavage and freckles and both), nine lipsticks, 10 eyeshadows, one eyebrow shaper, a matching nail base, and (GET THIS) a modifiable shape! And I got all of this for 990L! It's just 10 lindens less than the Love skin, but I feel like you get so much more (though, again, you get a lot with the Love skin).

The Miel boots: As I've stated before, I know Miel for the brand's options to customers. The Dandy boots are very detailed, and you can change the color of the sole, leather, and the trim individually! There are five different colors available for each! I've been a SLer for about 1.5 years, and I'm pretty sure I've had these boots for about a year. They were one of my earliest and best purchases! Get 'em!
