Bubblegum giggles

This is really not me, but in the interest of diversity lol…

This truly kawaii outfit is from Etchaflesh and has been on the Midnight Mania boards for quite some time.  Apparently, it will never be sold in the store, so if you want a copy, you better slap 🙂

The vest is a separate piece and is layered over a mid sleeve dress.  Both of them are in mesh standard sizes and there are fitmesh for Venus, Freya, Isis, and Slink Physique.  The thigh heigh socks are also fitmesh and in addition to the bodies already listed, there’s a version for Maitreya as well.

A Queen for the Desert

Moonlitecat Creations brings us Hatshepsut, a lovely gift in mesh, suitable for any desert oasis.

Hatshepsut comes in the standard mesh sizes, and fits pretty nicely.  The skirt is mesh, but dances awfully well for long mesh.

Incidentally, Hatshepsut is thought to have been the longest-reigning female pharoah of the Egyptian New Kingdom (ca 1500 BCE), reigning for twenty-one years after the death of her husband, Thutmose II.  She served as king, not queen, having herself depicted on monuments with the male pharonic beard and kilt, and rather devoid of female body shape.  Some twenty years after her son, Thutmose III, took the throne, he moved to eradicate her monuments and her name from history — apparently in a move to consolidate his political power.

So, there you go, something new to learn!  There’s a lovely article by National Geographic here.

Stop on by Moonlitecat Creations today!  The group join is free, and their styles are fantastic!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

The floral detail on the sleeves is very well done!

A View of Skye

A dear friend recently introduced me to Arwen’s Creations, a prolific medieval-themed merchant in SL.  Skye is a lovely Scots-inspired gown in a brilliant green tartan.

Skye_c002

Skye has been updated to include Omega blouse and glove appliers to accompany the fitmesh gown and rigged mesh scarf and sleeves.  This outfit has a tonne of options – including opaque and sheer veils as well as several different trim options on the blouse and a colour-change HUD for the gloves.

Because I’m a bit of a nut that way, I did some searching to see if I could find which tartan is featured.  The Isle of Skye was home to Clan MacLeod, which features green and blue with red and yellow details.    This is not MacLeod, but it’s pretty close to Irish National.  The two-toned green suggests a reproduction tartan, I think?  Perhaps that’s for the best.  I’m always a little wary of wearing another clan’s colours!

This lovely outfit is just one of the amazing creations that Arwen’s Creations has to offer.  Stop by and take a look!

Aloha!  A hui hou!  Or, perhaps, more appropriately, Bidh mi ‘gad fhaicinn!


Hoodie

I was looking though my unopened folder today and came across this great grunge style hoodie.  It’s rigged mesh in standard sizes and while really a man’s shirt, it works quite well on Lara.  And while looking for a nice hairstyle to go with it, I realized that Hair Fair 2016 is just around the corner!  It starts on the 16th of July.  I can’t wait 🙂

I picked up this hair style at last year’s Hair Fair, and as it’s umm yellow, I haven’t had much chance to wear it as you can imagine, even though it looks great!  But it certainly goes well with this top.

Fireworks!

Aeon may love her BBQ, but I love the fireworks!  Happy Independence Day to all my friends in the US of A!

4th_003

My outfit consists of a fitmesh for Maitreya top (also in standard sizes, and fitmesh for Belleza and Slink), and standard size shorts.  This is available for FREE at Punk JUSTUS right now!

I knew I had some sandals to match.  And nail polish as well 🙂

Happy Birthday, USA!

Happy Independence Day to all my friends in the United States!  Just in time to celebrate the Fourth of July, Paisley Daisy offers two lovely gifts for the season!  They’re both available in the five standard mesh sizes, plus Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink fitmesh, and they’re FREE!

  • Paisley Daisy — Love USA Eagle dress (Group gift, 2016/07)
  • [L.Warwick] – Savannah Ankle Strapped Heels – Noir Leather

Now, I’m not the most nationalistic of people by any means — I firmly believe that we are all in this together.  But I am still proud of my country, and am happy to take the opportunity (any opportunity) to have a party.  I hope everyone, in the US or elsewhere, has a lovely happy day today!

Aloha, mahalo, a hui hou!


Unicorn

I just wanted to do a quick post to show you this tank top, which is an old group gift from Baby Monkey.  It’s in standard mesh sizes and has a three texture HUD.  I really love this colour with black jeans 🙂

Rising from the waters

Sometimes…. the pearls are hidden in the flotsam and jetsam.

At the beginning of June, I had gone to pick up the group gift from Blue Moon Enterprises (always a treat) and had apparently then completely forgotten about it.  It wasn’t until earlier today that I was looking at my inventory (the flotsam and jetsam in this case) and OMG stumbled across Selkie, a beautiful mesh skirt and tie-back bandau.

Selkie_c001

The skirt comes in the standard mesh sizes, but the bandau comes in a single size.  I was a bit distraught at first, as it was much larger than my chest!  But Solas made the bandau mod, so that you can edit the top.  Simply select ‘edit linked’, and click on the bandau itself (not the ties or the abalone shell decorations).  You can then select the front face-center (it should be a red square) and slide that in or out to resize.  Don’t forget to adjust the back as well!  Once you’re happy with the fit of the bandau, select the abalone shells in front and move them to your chest, and the ties in back the same way.  It will fit like a dream!

Selkie_c008

Now — fair disclosure — I don’t know how long it will take Solas to put up a new group gift for July.  Maybe at the time of this post it’s already up – and maybe you have an hour or two. Maybe a day.  But maybe you have ten minutes.  If you haven’t dashed over and grabbed this, run now to Blue Moon Enterprises, and maybe you’ll forgive me for not showing this to you before now!

A hui hou, my friends!  Mahalo!
