Bird of Paradise

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Aloha, my dear friends!  I can’t decide whether Eclectic Stars‘ Bird of Paradise print for the Buffy dress is boho or roaring 20s, so perhaps it is a little of each?  I’ll definitely be wearing it both ways!

Buffy is available in all your favourite fitmesh bodies: all three Belleza, both SLink, and Maitreya.

I couldn’t help but shoot it in one of my favourite sims for that era, Chicago 1920’s.  There’s an awful lot to explore, but it is a RP sim, so please come in era-appropriate attire!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

More pink?  At least it’s pastel and not hot pink 🙂  This is another hunt item from WOH3 (yes, I’m still opening them!)  I chose a free gift from Hair Fair 2017 to go with this.

And yes!  Hair Fair is on!  Hair Fair is one of my favourite events of the year.  It’s for a great cause, and a percentage of all sales goes to Wigs For Kids, which is a very deserving charity.  Run and have a look around, get the gifties and at least a couple of bandannas and show your support!  It sure makes me feel good about the Second Life community as a whole when I read letters like this!

This dress comes in sizes for Belleza, Slink, Maitreya, TMP, and a one-size-fits-all fitmesh for classic bodies.  The detailing around the panels is really well done, and you can see from the picture above it’s not just texture!

My hairstyle is from Astrology, a new designer to me.  They have a really awesome HUD system that lets you pick 20 colors from their full range, but you only get to do it once, so you have to pick carefully.  This is a great idea, as most designers do HUDs in blonde, red, brunette, etc.  With Astrology’s system, you can pick from all of them and get a mix of colors perfectly suited to you, all in one HUD!

Additionally, to my surprise, this hairstyle was modify, which means you can tint it too.  So if you are wise in your HUD color choices, you can do nearly any color you like!

Here’s a unique little bustier from ViSion.  It’s their group gift for July.  The ViSion group is FREE to join, so run and get yours!

The floral front is very pretty and the little metal studs around the top are fun (and they come with a HUD that lets your set the metal color or hide them too).  The back is done with bold straps in a pleasing diamond pattern.  Sizes include Freya, Isis, Venus, Lara, Hourglass, and Physique.

Friday meoooooww!

Happy Friday!  Wherever you are, I hope you’re looking forward to a bright shiny weekend!  

Katy features fitmesh shorts for Belleza Venus, Maitreya Lara and SLink Physique bodies, as well as the standard rigged mesh sizes.  The cute kittykat top is an Omega applier (also comes with standard SL layer).  The lovely butterflies tattoo from ERSCH allows you to place that tat on either leg — or both!

The sky is blue, the breeze is soft, the smell of flowers is in the air.  I wish you all a wonderful weekend!

Aloha!  A hui hou!

This is another swimsuit hunt gift from WOH3.  The hunt is over, but I still have quite a few unopened gifties to show you!

Sizes included are fitmesh for Lara, and Slink Hourglass and Physique, plus it comes with a little pink unrigged bow for the front that I haven’t worn.  You know me and pink, right?  And the swimsuit is enough 🙂

I took these photos on the 4th of July, so if you look closely, you can see my flag nail polish hehe

Irises

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

I know, I’m always going on about how nice flexi dresses are for dancing.  So let’s put my money where my mouth is: Eden’s Summerqueen dance was this past weekend, and Paris METRO Couture had exactly what I was looking for with Van Gogh Irises.

I added a bit of jewelery from Spyralle: Summer Leaf earrings, and a new treat from the June 2017 SWANK event: Grow a New Heart necklace in emerald.  Simple, clean, and the perfect complement to Irises.

Now, as you might expect, a flexi gown is a bit complex.  This full outfit comes in at about 200k complexity, and a good bit of that is in the flexiprim skirt.  That’s about as high as I like to go for clothing in SL, but nothing compares with flexi for long gowns to dance in!

Happy Summer, everyone!  A hui hou!  Mahalo!

Eden tanktop

I’m sure you’ve seen me mention Eden before.  It’s a fabulous club for girls, whatever your orientation.  Recently, our lovely boss Sabine appointed me one of the Head Angels!  Wow!  I felt really honoured.  I’ve been busy helping Nandi the club manager there.  Anything to take some of the load off her.  And I was involved in the recent redesign of the sim, helping Nandi terraform and lay everything out.

As staff you get asked lots of questions by people.  A girl stopped by a little while ago and I happened to be wearing a very old Eden logo t-shirt from 2014.  She asked where she could get a copy of the shirt, and I said, “Oh I’m not sure, the giver used to be on the dance floor, but I can’t remember seeing it for ages!  Perhaps it’s in the freebie shop?”

We went and looked, and no, it wasn’t there either!  So, unfortunately she left disappointed.  If you’re reading this, whoever you were, I’ve fixed the situation by recreating the shirt, and updating it to fitmesh sizes too!  Yay!

There are fitmesh sizes for classic avatars, and body specific mesh for Lara, all three Belleza bodies, and Slink Physique.

You can get your free copy if you are a member of the Sisters of Eden group.  Stop by and ask me or one of the other helpful staff for a tag to get yours!

This was an MM board prize from Zombie Suicide.  I’ve shown you the yellow version before, but I like this one even better with the fishnet overlay on the skirt.

It’s all one piece, and there are sizes for classic, Belleza, Slink Physique and Hourglass, and Maitreya.

I went looking for a different hairstyle than the long long one I wore in the previous post, and I found this one that I hadn’t worn before!  It’s very cute and has rigged and unrigged version, and three different styles of bangs that are resizeable to ensure they frame your face.  It also has a multicolour HUD that is mostly in pastel shades, but fortunately there was a nice ginger in there!  Yay!

OK, I’m not sure where I would wear this, but in the interests of complete reporting, here you go 🙂  This outfit was another hunt item from WOH3.

The bra, panties, and shirt and all separate fitmesh, and come in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Lara, TMP, Curvy, Fine, Hourglass, and Physique bodies.

One of the Eden DJs came up with the great idea of doing an 8Bit set (well it was more 80s than 8Bit, but the deco was a cool gamer theme).  I got this sweater to wear to the event 🙂

The sweater is only rigged mesh in standard sizes, and it has some problems with breakthroughs around the hand area as the sleeves are so long.  I’ve retouched the pics, but in a dance situation it’s hardly noticeable.  And not being fitmesh, I was surprised at how well it went over my fav mesh jeans.  I was prepared to wear applier jeans if I had to, but it worked just fine with these.

My nerdy glasses are from last year’s Quest Fur Cover Hunt, and are rather cool mesh, with take off and put on animations, and another set of “off” glasses that are the location of the glasses when you take them off (if that makes sense).  I didn’t take a picture, but when off, mine hang on my jumper neckline.
