Shortly, I’ll be hosting a Best in Tattoos event at Eden.  As I’m running the show, I can’t join the contest, but I certainly can look in theme.  So I went looking for a nice full body tattoo to wear to the event, and this is what I found!

This is a fairly old tattoo and is only L$50 (L$45 if you join the FREE group and buy it in store).  While it’s old, it certainly doesn’t lack in features, with four levels of “fadedness” – super dark, dark, medium, and light.  I’m wearing the medium in these photos.

The pack includes a set of system tattoo layers upper and lower body, and crucially, a set of Omega appliers so you can wear it with your mesh bod!

The artwork is nicely done and all of the seam matching is really good too, with only one minor issue on the inner arms that’s hardly noticeable.  You may notice that silly me forgot to switch on the tattoo layer on my hands before taking these shots, but be assured that the tattoos do extend onto mesh hands and feet that support Omega.

Spring 2018

blue Places

Aeon and I get a lot of pleasure out of redecorating our land every major change of seasons.  As it’s now Spring in SL, we were looking around for something to fit for Spring and Summer this year, and we came across this green house, which we both really loved.

We put it out and started filling it with plants and some furniture and nicknacks, when I realized that somehow we were running out of prims.

We have two adjoining parcels, and somehow I’d forgotten which parcel our main skybox was on 🙂  So I had to pick up the new green house and all its contents, and switch it with the woods that cover our other parcel, so we could even out the prim allocation!  What a pain hehe.

Here’s a view from the deck outside so you can see the woods.

I’m not going to list every object in these pictures, but I will highlight a few.  Firstly, the flag is a proposed design for a Flag of Planet Earth.  Both of us think this is a very cool idea!

Next, let’s look at some close-ups.  The hanging lamps in the foreground are by C-Outlet.

We both dragged out our collection of potted plants, and even with both of our collections, realized we probably didn’t have enough to convincingly fill the space.  So we went and started looking and ended up with a really nice collection from Compulsion.

At the moment, we have a large fountain in the middle of the space, but while Aeon loves her water features, I’d rather there was something like a lounge and coffee table taking up that space, and then we could do away with the beanbags in the photo above.  Perhaps we can get it sorted out soon!  Either a smaller fountain and more plants, or some seating.

Don’t forget, click on the pictures for the full sized view, and as usual, all our land with the exception of our house is publicly accessible (we hate ban lines).  You’re more than welcome to come and explore or hang out and relax.  SLurl below 🙂

Simple Spring

blue 1 Comment LotD

I found this simple, pretty dress on the Womenstuff hunt back in January.  I’ve been waiting for the weather to warm up so I could show it off.

The dress comes in standard mesh sizes plus body specific fitmesh for Lara, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP.  It also has a 10 color HUD with some plain and patterned textures, from pastels to bold pinks and reds!  I’ve worn three different ones in my photos.

This is a great little dress to wear out shopping, walking around, or even dancing!  Another fine addition to the wardrobe, and if you were lucky enough to find it during the hunt, totally FREE!

Furr-ocious!

Our good friend Kat really likes her furries!  Here she’s showing off a really cool vixen outfit.  Furr-ocious 🙂

She’s taken a mix of bits and bobs from various outfits and combined them into this wonderful vixen which looked super cool the other day.  She has a habit of changing outfits often, and when she hit this one I went “Whoa! I need to photograph that!”  She was happy to oblige!

Let me see if I can hit the highlights of her look.  First, this is all on the Utilizator 2.0 Avi.  She’s taken the skin and shape from the Fruitsalad Orange Fox avi pack, plus the paws, feet. head, and tail from the Vixen Chinchilla Mod, and added a skirt and top from clothes from the S4 outfit.  Told you she was keen 🙂

Finishing touches include the knee pads and ankle bangles.  I think you will agree with me that this looks absolutely fantastic!

This amazing little mini was hiding in my unopened items from the Womenstuff hunt back in January!

It’s fully materials enabled and glitters beautifully when you move.  The glitter layer is on the complete inside of the skirt and gets great exposure when you dance.  Sizes for this include standard mesh and a one-size-fits all fitmesh, plus body specific fitmesh for Lara, Hourglass, Physique, Isis, Venus, and Freya.

The pack also includes a face and body light to help the glitter really sparkle.

The dress cut drastically low at the back so your underwear choice is rather limited hehe.

I’m not sure where I got this skirted swimsuit but it’s really nice!  I have a sneaking suspicion someone gave it to me 🙂

It’s only in fitmesh for Lara and the fit is super good, you can easily wear it with no alphas at all.  And the reason for my suspicion about where I got it is it’s only available in a gacha in the store, and I very very rarely play gachas.  There are a number of different colors and a couple of rares with additional cute bows.

I love the heart cutout 🙂

I really like one piece swimsuits and this is a wonderful addition to my collection!

Hello lovelies!  Today I have a fantastic Midnight Madness win to show you from Etchaflesh!

The skirt and top are separates (but although they aren’t “connected”, the sleeves are part of the top) and can be worn on their own.  Considering they both have 20 color HUDS allowing you to texture different parts of the item, you could match them with anything.  The skirt HUD has options for the waistband and the skirt, while the top’s HUD has options for the main top, the sleeves (which can also be made invisible), and the lacing at the back.  Super versatile!

I’m wearing this olive and green combo, but there is everything from monos to pinks, blues, browns, and reds, so you can be eye-catching as you like!

The outfit comes in fitmesh for Freya, Isis, Venus, Lara, Physique, and Hourglass.  There are no standard sizes.  Oh, and how about this cute cutout and bow and the back? 🙂

Here’s a store that’s new to me: Canimal.  They have nine group gifts just waiting for you, and their group is FREE to join!

The shorts and jacket are separates, and are for Lara only.

Also including is a five color HUD allowing you to color the shorts and jacket separately.  Run out and get yours today!

Here’s another group gift from Canimal.  Canimal is FREE to join, and there are nine, yes nine, really nice group gifts available at the store, this one included!

The dress is fitmesh for Lara only, and comes with a nine color HUD so you can (at least in my case) find a color to suit your hair 🙂

The rigging is well done, and I didn’t notice any issues.  It uses the auto-alpha feature for Lara, and depending on what pose you’re in, you may have to un-alpha a little, as the hem is right on an alpha cut boundary.  Other than that, it’s a great little mini!
