Resistance

It’s just determination to stick through the long haul.  Whatever you are fighting against, whatever you are fighting for.  It’s remembering that there are others out there who are fighting with you, who are standing by you, who have your back.

Maybe that’s Carrie Fisher who gave us a hero.  Maybe it’s a sister, a brother, a friend who will not let you down.  Maybe its millions of women around the world standing together.

Whether you’re fighting an illness… or the system…. or just your Monday —

You are not alone.

Just thought you should know that.


Foxy in yellow

This is a really nice little dress from an unexpected source – Zombie Suicide!  ZS usually goes in for much more edgy designs than this pretty dress.

The dress is in standard sizes plus fitmesh for Belleza, Slink Physique and Hourglass, and Maitreya.  There is a tiny mesh breakthrough on the front of the skirt in certain poses, but it’s nothing drastic.  As it’s mesh from the skirt breaking though, you can’t correct it with an alpha.

I want to highlight my hairstyle too.  I like dancing on the beach at the end of the day, and one day while I was dancing, a girl walked up and started a conversation with me.  She was wearing this hairstyle from eXxEsS and after admiring it, I just had to go and try a demo!  As you can see, I ended up getting it, and it’s my favorite long long hair.  The amazing thing is for just L$199, you get two versions, one with materials enabled and one without, plus you get a 56 (yes fifty six!) single color HUD.  The colors cover enough naturals so that most people will be happy no matter what your normal color is, plus nine or ten single color tints such a blue, pink, purple, and well, you get the idea!

There is a “B” version of the hairstyle too, if you want multi-tones.

This is a very versatile hairstyle, and works well with nearly any casual outfit.


Evenflo

Wow, back to the 90s!  This fab little outfit from Facepalm really does the grunge look justice.  And it’s even called Evenflo lol!

The tank and jeans are on system layers and come with Slink and Omega appliers.  The around-the-waist shirt is standard size rigged mesh, and the combat boots are unrigged with resize scripts.  The bracers are also included, but do not have resize scripts.  If you were patient, you could unlink them and resize them smaller if you needed to (I need to, but I don’t have the patience today!)


Lemon Chiffon

Hello lovelies!  Today I’m wearing a fantastic little dress that was a win on an MM board at Entice.  And to go with it, I have this lovely new hairstyle from Alice Project!

The dress is in standard sizes and has specific sizes for Slink, Maitreya, and a single size for classic avis.  The detailing on this is very nice, particularly the folds in the material, and the half undone zipper at the back 🙂

On the same day I got the dress, I was lucky enough to get this hairstyle from the Alice Project MM.  It’s got a 15 colour HUD for basic colours, and you can streak it too (this is the standard HUD that AP releases with their hairs).

I really like the carefully done texture on this hairstyle and how it seems to have some natural highlighting.  It looks great!


An orchid in the moonlight

Sometimes you stumble on a treasure.

I’ve been rooting through an out-of-control inventory lately, slowly whittling it down, getting through old hunt items and advent items I’d not gotten to looking at, and stumbled across a gem in the rough — a gift card in the advent gifts from Moonlitecat Creations!  I went over and picked up Orchid Desires, a lovely cheongsam-inspired minidress.    

Orchid Desires features a lovely rigged mesh skirt in the standard five sizes with top (with a lovely laced-up back) and bottom Omega applier layers.  There are five different colours, but you won’t be surprised to know that the green is my favourite.

I’ll admit, I’m not a city girl.  but a visit to the bright lights turns my head.  Moonlitecat Creations has some lovely little pieces, stop by and take a look today!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!


Lauren Glitter

Some nice new things to show you today!

The mesh for this dress is unremarkable being very similar to other dresses I have, but the texturing is really well done, with some fantastic materials texturing to make it glitter nicely.  It really highlights where the dress is folded.  As it’s fitmesh (versions for *takes deep breath* Belleza Freya, Isis, Venus, Ebody, Maitreya, Slink Physique, Hourglass, Tonic Curvy, Fine, and TMP) it moves and shimmers really nicely!  FAC has done a great job, and to top it off, have included a six color HUD with it too!

Next, while I’ve had this hairstyle for some time (wow over a year!), I’m not sure I’ve ever worn it before for a photo shoot.  It’s rigged mesh and has a seven color HUD.  This is the only red in there, but it’s sort of close to my color 🙂

And lastly, we have this beautiful little hearts necklace from BlackRose.  This was a Valentine’s Day gift for their group members, but it was still available in store a couple of days ago.


Laissez les bons temps rouler!

For Whit.  🙂

Wow, what a night last night!  You might be thinking about ashes today, but I’m still basking in the revelry of Fat Tuesday.  Dressed by Lexi offered this the lovely Risque gown in a five-part 10L hunt.

Each hunt item included part of Risque — gown, jewelry, heels — as well as a string of Mardi Gras beads!  There are two additional hunt items that feature the gown and jewelry in red as well.  Wow!

Now, in case you’re interested, the purchased version of the Risque jewelry includes a colour-change hud.  It fits so nicely with this gown, and others as well!  The regular reader will note that I often use Dressed by Lexi jewelry sets with other clothing items.

Where did my beads go?  I threw them to Blue, of course!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

 


Dots

Every so often I go though my outfits looking to firstly update my look, and secondly to dispose of anything that really isn’t me any more.  In just the last couple of years that I’ve been in SL, there have been some amazing changes, the biggest of which to me are fitmesh and Bento (see the Bento Wings post in case you missed it!)

As I was slowly making my way through my outfits, I came across this wonderful little mesh dress which I’d completely forgotten about.  It’s not fitmesh, but it is in the standard sizings, and the small works perfectly on Lara with my shape!

In addition to the pastel green shown here, the dress comes with a HUD to change the color to seven other pastel shades.  Or you can opt to paint it black, as the Rolling Stones once said.


Burnished copper

The other day I shared Dolphin from Ally★Adventure with you — an older bathing suit that I’ve had for a while.  I went back to look at Ally’s line, and have found that she’s offering new clothing fitted for mesh bodies!  I couldn’t resist Xenia!  Xenia is available in a host of different colours and textures, but I fell for the copper chainmail/mesh.  

I can’t resist another chance to show the sultry and seductive Nefertiti eyeliner from [GA.EG], built for their line of mesh faces.

Also, a happy greeting to a new sponsor, [Kikay] poses!  [Kikay] makes a host of beautiful cute poses for singles and for couples.  I’ll be sharing a lot with you as time goes on!

So much fun and sexy newness! Please stop by and take a look.  Ally★Adventure features demos with all their sizes (fitted mesh and rigged mesh) and textures.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!


Cropped Dress

This is a nice materials enabled dress from Paisley Daisy.  It comes in fitted mesh for standard sizes with specific fitmesh for Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink, and is a group gift.  Paisley Daisy is L$100 to join.

I really like the rounded neckline on this as it gives me an opportunity to show off my emeralds that were a gift from Aeon.  She spoils me sometimes!  There are matching earrings too, which you can just see in the picture below.
