It’s all been done

So, maybe it has all been done.

Sooooo it’s the curse of blogging, you’ve got a product out there and someone beats you to it.  Well, fooey, and I really liked that, too!  So, what do you do?  You take your own pics and show it the way you want to, that’s what.  🙂

Alaska Metro <3 is hosting a little mini-hunt, the Wardrobe Staples hunt with ten gifts: three at the Alaska Metro <3 main store, and seven at Free Dove.

Here are two of them that I just adored, the Long Tank and the Moto Leggings.

Each of the items in the hunt features a HUD with a couple texture choices.  The Moto Leggings and Long Tank each have three lovely choices to mix and match.  I really love the mesh on these, the leggings are very nicely detailed!

Oooh oooh and also?  This is the first time I’ve featured the Hatsune hair from *ARGRACE*.  I really have fallen in love with the *ARGRACE*.  In addition to a texture with a few choices for the headband (or whatever hair-related accessories a particular hairdo comes with), most of their styles feature a styling hud.  These allow you to add wisps or, in the case of Hatsune, a lovely braid across the forehead.

 

Stop by Alaska Metro <3 and Free Dove, the hunt is free and easy enough, and the goodies are lovely.  And above all, happy Aloha Friday my friends!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!


Waiting for Spring

Eden had its annual Spring Queen dance this past weekend, and it was the perfect opportunity for a new gown!  Paris METRO Couture had just the thing with Wild Bunch, a beautiful new creation in mesh and flexi.  This is the first hybrid gown that I’ve seen from Paris METRO, and I’m so glad for it.

This was the perfect gown for my Mokolea necklace and earrings set from Luminesse.  It now features the OptPlus script, so jewelry pieces can be menu adjusted for glow and/or full bright!

PM has long understood that full-mesh gowns dance so very poorly, and have always had wonderful flexi gowns with applier tops.  But as lovely as their texturing is, appliers just can’t compete with fitmesh for realism in many circumstances.  Paris METRO Couture has combined the two here, crating a mesh gown with a flexi overskirt.  Be warned: as with any good flexi gown, complexity is high, but not critically so (in my opinion): the fitmesh component comes in at about 1500, and the overskirt at nearly 200.000.  With jewelry and hair, you’re probably clearing 300.000 total.  For a beautiful ball gown, that’s pretty low!

This flower mesh gown comes in three lovely patterns, please stop on by and take a look.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

 


Who do you want to be?

Aloha my lovely friends!  Some happy bright new things from Brii Underground Wear and Alaska Metro <3 today!

You know, I was wandering about, looking for a lovely place to take some pictures, and I came across this sign.  And I thought “wow, what wisdom that is — be with people who make you happy”.  

Some beautiful new makeup from Alaska Metro <3:  Rose Gold features some lovely gently glittery lippy and eyeshadow five different gentle shades with classic, Omega, Lelutka and Catwa appliers!  4Mesh runs from September 12th through October 11, so don’t dawdle.

I thought about it a little more… and it’s true, there are many who fill my life with joy and love and laughter.  My Blue, my sister, my friends, the dear heart who helps me edit some images every now and again….   I have a hard time imagining where I would be without each and every one of them

But then, too, sometimes… you need your priorities right.  If you don’t love yourself, how would you expect anyone else to?  Stretch your wings and fly.

Luane’s World poses are on sale right now, 50% off many lovely things!

Be your dream.  Have a wonderful Friday, and a beautiful weekend, everyone!  Mahalo!  A hui hou!


Tanned in the summer sun

I don’t usually model different skins, but thought I’d try a little something different for a Friday.  Alaska Metro offers Sunny,  few lovely new face and Fit, a matching skin at the Mesh Body Addicts Fair!  Both come in three skintones, and Sunny has options for no eyebrows, light, medium, and dark shades.  Fit is released as an update to Alaska Metro’s older skin line.  Fit includes Omega, Maitreya and SLink appliers, and nail polish for both natural and french finishes.

 

Sunny comes in appliers for Omega (head only), Lelutka, and Catwa.  The Omega version is optimised for the new LOGO and LAQ Bento heads, but it works just fine, I think, on my [GA.EG] Barbara Bento head!

The Mesh Body Addicts faire has just ended, but look for Sunny and Fit at the Alaska Metro mainstore.

Happy Aloha Friday!  Mahalo,  a hui hou!


A garden from Moonstar

I’ve got a little flowery number from Moonstar to share with you today!

Purple Floral Minidress was a group gift a week or two ago, and comes in the five standard rigged-mesh sizes plus fitmesh for one of the Belleza bodies as well as SLink Physique and Maitreya Lara.  The belt is textured in-place, but looks lovely!

Sami revisited

Carrie’s Lingerie has released another new update on an old friend.  Sami was one of my favourite old applier pieces of lingerie, so I’m so happy to have the updated version with Omega appliers.  The lace-up back is just mmmmms.

  • Carrie’s Lingerie — Sami (fuscia) corset and stockings
  • .woundRibbon choker (dark)
  • Lazuri — Classic Pearls earrings and bracelet
  • [L.Warwick] — Savannah Ankle Strapped Heels (Noir Leather)
  • <K&S> — Candy #1 pose

Sami comes in six strong colours (and a fatpack is available), so you’re sure to find your look.

I usually don’t follow boudoir shots with something more covered up, but I do like wearing a corset and a pair of jeans… it’s perfect for a casual sexy look when you’re out for the pub.

I am so glad that Carrie’s Lingerie has continued to update some of the older pieces with Omega appliers.  I can think of quite a few to put on their list — Fireangel in particular, and that one burlesque-y outfit that I haven’t seen in the main store for ages!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!


Rhapsody

I’ve got some wonderful specials from We <3 Role-Play for you today!  Lady Rhapsody is a beautiful new gown from Silvan Moon Designs, and two beautiful hairstyles from Calico Creations.  So many pretties!

Lady Rhapsody comes in five wonderful pastel colours, a regal look in Maitreya Lara and SLink Physique fitmesh only.  Each gown includes the corset dress and a lovely overskirt, as well as a matching rose embellishment at the hip.    

Kendle is a lovely rigged mesh with optional flexy add-ons.  Kindi is a beautiful updo in both rigged and unrigged mesh.  Both are available in all of Calico Creations‘s lovely palette of colours.  Each pack includes a HUD with a wide selections of shades in a given palette (I chose reds and gingers, for some reason).  Incidentally, if you weren’t aware, Calico Creations has re-released some of their older hairstyles with a more complete colour palette, which includes the much older shades that really loved!  I don’t know how long that’s been so, I just discovered it!  YAY!

Kendle and Kindi are both available at We <3 Role Play for 25% off, so don’t delay!

We <3 Role-Play is an incredible event: there are wonderful treasures around every corner.  Silvan Moon Designs and Calico Creations and many other merchants have created some wonderful exclusives for the event, so go and enjoy yourself!  It’s not to be missed.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!


Blossoming spring

As flowers bloom in the spring, wonders bloom at Silvan Moon Designs!  Bee and Solas have a beautiful little mesh dress for you in three springy colours exclusively at Shiny Shabby.  Peaches and Cream comes in sizes for Maitreya Lara and SLink Physique, and as always, there are demos to try first!  The large flower detail is a separate unrigged mesh piece, so you can adjust it (or omit it) as you like.

You’ve seen my favourite daisies wreath from Caverna Obscura many times before, but I get to show you a lovely new necklace and earrings from EarthStones.  Feuilles features a HUD that allows you a lovely choice of metals and gemstones.

Spring is just bursting with treasures to find after the cold winter months.  Stop by Shiny Shabby and take a look, you’re sure to find all kinds of wonderful treasures.  Here’s hoping your spring is as full of colour and light!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!
