Yayy people! For once I actually had a few pictures! Fun fact, the wedding clothing and men's clothing I made! I may release them through [Blossom] at some point in random color sets!

12 Days of Lingerie take 3, and 4!

I'm such a slacker on this! I decided due to multiple things to combine both 3 and 4 for the 12 Days of Lingerie Challenge.

I'm doing something a bit more different this time around then normal. With most of my photos I don't edit more then a few discolorations and some wonky elbows or body parts that SL has decided to morph into a pointy object. With that in mind I decided to play around with filters during this challenge. I've added some vintage looks, made some grainy, played with colors. It's been interesting to get my hands on some of the wonky tools I normally mis-use or overlook!

Check out my most recent two looks!

It's a bit hard to see as I took this the other night while SL was hating me. I was looking for edgy and ended up playing with my Shibari ropes. I normally don't use them unless I'm fooling around or for an event these days but.. well. They are , admittedly, pretty neat! I paired them with an oldie but goody- body stocking from Reasonable Desires and [Blossom] Chained Heels. Having worked at RD for over a year I still have some pretty sweet duds! This particular body stocking looks to be no longer available... However...

All the Lingerie at Reasonable Desires is being sold for 20L-99L. There are SO many options to choose from and a few of the items are tintable! All of the items are transferable as well so it makes for the perfect gift for that special someone or heck for that best gal pal!! If you are lacking in funds there is a 10L gatcha, as well as multiple Lucky Chairs!

Looking past all the goodies you can snag, the sim is something pretty awesome as well. Set in a black and white 40's style it's perfect for those ultra glam backdrops! This is a store I've known pretty much since my first weeks in SL. It's one I was a loyal employee of for over a year and one I'm shamed to say I've often overlooked for the big named stores.. Sad really. Austie and Marti are pretty brilliant. While the may not be using the premade sculpties that so many designers buy (myself included so no bashing meant) they do all hand drawn textures. The attention to detail is amazing and what some people don't know is that these designers are pretty awesome folks. After having meant some less than friendly designers in my day it's refreshing to see two people still so in touch with it all...

I guess this makes me think of a story I was reading recently about "Cash Mobs" Pretty much calls are going out all over the US inviting folks to small mom and pop stores and just people flooding in and buying items from  them. It has nothing to do with bashing the big name stores but I think it's a lesson we could all use. Sometimes we get so focused on the big name brands or the "popular" brands we forget about someone who has been around longer then most of us and still giving it a go. Wouldn't it be a super special idea if a few of you folks did a little cash mob? Think about it , ey?

12 days of Lingerie - take 2

I'm on a roll tonight. Hahah or I just haven't crawled into bed yet! Here's another look from Gogo's 12 Day's of Lingerie Challenge!!

I had some fun playing with filters on Gimp I normally avoid. A little vintage filter, a few others and voila! This gorgeous lavender colored cuteness is a super steal from Phoenix Rising! It also comes with pow attachments fro the garters which are not shown here! Shoes are a custom creation by me for [Blossom]! I've been playing around with some Valentine's day ideas

Don't you leave me Broken Hearted...Up for a challenge!

Evening Lovelies!

All I have to say is God bless Karmin and Blogger Challenges. Sometimes I stare at my post page blankly with NO clue what to show you today. I really really needed a challenge so when I saw Gogo's " 12 Days of Lingerie" Challenge I was ALLLL over that. I went through about 50 different looks before I finally said "fugetabout it". This is my pouty, pining look for today!

Lingerie worn is the Kyoot Stumblebum item for 90L!

BTW I totally love Karmin's new song. I've pretty much loved on them and shared it with ya'll pretty often on here! Hope you guys like it as much as I did! I'm pretty thankful that my hubby was outside working most of the day because I pretty much listened to this beat non-stop. I know. I'm lame. So sue me :P

Newbie Style Challange-Get your newb on

As we all know I adore blogger challanges. I especially like a challange of making an avatar from scratch using a budget. If you haven't guessed by now I am a huge lover of anything cheap or free. I do spend money in stores but I also thing a healthy amount of gifts entices someone to spend money as a 'Thank You' as well as allowing a person to sample items without wasting money on something that might not be quite what they had hoped.

That being said when I saw Gogo of Juicy Bomb had started the Newbie Style Challenge II, I was Super excited. You can read the rules and such -here-

If you have spent any time in SL with me then you know I have an alt addiction. Most recently I cut back to those linked to anything I still do in SL. There was a time when I would create an alt just to 'make her/him over'. I would hunt all over SL just to prove I could make an avatar that cost 10, 20, 30L..even free. SO the 550L limit for this challenge sounds like a fortune.

I started out as a brand newbie with a new alt I made. I decided to make not one but three looks in total.(I may do more in the future! keep posted)

Look 1:

 

Worn:

           Hair: D!va- Group gift (there are tons here + free group join!)   = 0L

Scarf: Mr. Poet- Store Freebie (Boxers also + 2 Lucky Boards   = 0L

Dress: Riddle (+ 2 shirts Gift @ Fab Free HQ-TONS of goodies) = 0L

Boots: Vinyl Cafe (Dollarbie a day location- past  are 50L now)  =50L

total: 50L

Look 2:

 

Worn:

Hair: D!va- Naomi 20000 members (Group gift)    = 0L

Necklace: Milady's -  (Marketplace)                       = 0L

Dress: Entre Mares - (Fab Free HQ)                       = 0L

Shoes: Maitrya- Subscribo Gift                               = 0L

Total: 0L

Look 3:

 

Worn:

Hair: D!va - Haruka (Group Gift)                       = 0L

Sweater: ~Sweet Poison~ - (Marketplace)        = 0L

Skirt: JANE - In store Gift (Tons others too!)     = 0L

Boots: COCO- Group Gift (Tons more!)              = 0L

Total: 0L

About My Body!:

Shape: Made by me :)                                               = 0L                    

Skin: Mamboo Chic- Lucky Board       = 0L

           Eyes: TechnoLati- Hazel Blue on Marketplace         = 1L

 Total: 1L

Over all Spent: 51L !!

Additional Notes:

I also snagged some great things that aren't sp easy to see! Oracul offers one of the BEST freebie AO'S I've seen. You can snag it at the Fab Free HQ. It comes with a male AO as well and it's Copy/Trans!

The poses I used were freebies from Fab Free HQ and D!va (upstairs)

When making my looks this time around I wanted to focus on quality. Any old person can find a free outfit (If you can't then you deserve a smack upside the head ala Gibbs on NCIS.. :D). Rich textures and decent attachments make an outfit better than the system layer snoozer! The hardest things for me to find was decent hair (I tend to be ultra picky normally) and shoes. I never did go gaga over any of the shoes I found but oh well. Granted I could have used a chunk of that 550 to buy shoes or hair but I was more focused on an actual newb shopping.

Also noted: I could have made this super easy by doing hunts and current sales but I thought it smarter to show items that may still be around months from now!

Taking it one step further:

One thing we most often overlook is something as simple as a profile pic. Often spending 10L to upload is a big deal to someone new. (This is for anyone not using SL V3). During my quest for poses or photo studios to make a profile pic I found a rare gem. Studio Focus is a new photography location just getting started. As a special offer to new patrons they are doing one free shot to new group members. You can join the group - here-  and contact Sunnyboi Canis or Savannah OHare! (I'll be doing a write up in the upcoming days on these two so stay tuned if you are interested!

Check out the pic Savannah did for me:

 

Until next time! XOXO

I Don't Think You're Ready for this Jelly

Hello my lovelies! I am participating in yet ANOTHER blogger challange. They help keep me entertained I guess!

The challenge was put out there by Miss Gogo of Juicy Bomb! I have such a blog crush so I absolutely had to join in!

Because we all tend to focus so much on the front of our avatars when doing photos she has but out a call for all of us to showcase our derrière!

Snap some picks and be as creative as you like just show her how much junk (or how little!) you have in your trunk :D

I love this because I have a bit of a booty love in SL. Or sometimes hate. My avatar has a bit more curve on her lower half. No she isn't one of those abusers of the slider but she does have a bit of a ghetto booty. In fact it seems to be a constant issue when it comes to skirts or dresses in SL. I've spent many a day modifying clothing to fit my shape because I refuse to be a complete twig! Yay for booty!!!

I wasn't as creative as I could have been this time around but I thought it got the point across. Of course the whole time I sat there taking tons of pictures I had one some going through my head- Bootylicious. I know. Laugh all you want

If you too want to show off the booty you can post a comment or post on the challenge Flickr!! Challenge goes until the next one is posted so I'm sure you have some time!

PS. this is the first time I've actually watched the video. I grew up listening to Destiny's Child but the cheesiness of this cracked me up!

Overwhelmed but up for a Challenge

Sometimes my brain just can't handle everything that get thrown at it. I'm juggling so much in my RL and have far too many amazing things to show you all in SL. INstead of sitting down and getting it all under control I decided to go peeping for a new blogger challenge. Yay for me I found one! I'm starting a week late but that's not so bad!

The newest blogger challenge I have decided to partake in is the: Blog Hero Challenge Week 2: Don't Fear the Reaper.

The idea behind the challenge is that the amazing Shayariel Teardrop picks lyrics for a song weekly and we get to do our own photo representation of said lyrics. It can be a scene, artistic view... whatever pleases you! You can check out her first week -here- where she explains about it in a bit more detail!

This weeks lyrics are:

"All our times have come
Here but now they're gone
Seasons don't fear the reaper
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain..we can be like they are
Come on baby...don't fear the reaper
Baby take my hand...don't fear the reaper
We'll be able to fly...don't fear the reaper
Baby I'm your man..."

I was super excited about this because my bestie in SL loves to romp around in her Lady Death avatar she spent forever working on. You'll often see us riding around, me all bright and shiny, her all dark and deadly. I thought she would be a fantastic reaper for my picture! There are a few giggles behind the thoughts for this as well :P

I tried to play around with Gimp a bit on this but I'm really not so good at it...

Thanks again to Shayariel for the awesome experience!!
