~ AC/DC ~


Hello again my lovelies!

June 4th is a big day in the grid because the Rock Attitude Fair 3 (RAF3) will once again open their doors for two weeks and the BCA Rockfest is happening as well. So, with this being said, I have a couple exclusive items to show you from RAF3 and an exclusive fundraising item for the BCA Rockfest from my sponsor Blasphemic. I also have a new release from MODA Designs to show you as well.


R O C K    F O R    T H E    T A T A S

On June 4th, the BCA Rockfest will be taking place to raise money for breast cancer awareness. It is 12 hours of  rock music from 12 of the best rock DJs and hosts across the grid. 100% of all DJ and Host tips will be donated to the fundraiser and 100% of all sales proceeds from sponsor items will also be donated to the fundraiser as well.










One of the designers helping with the fundraising effort is Blasphemic. Kalabrie Allstar, Blasphemic's owner/designer, has decided to sell a series of 7 shirts she calls the Fuck Cancer Shirts. If you're a bit squeamish about the "F" word, don't worry, not all of them have the "F" word on the shirt. As you can see, the one I'm wearing says "Bikers Against  Breast Cancer" and there are others in the photos below.













The Fuck Cancer Shirts are 100% fitted mesh and comes packed with a single fitted mesh size that should fit most mesh bodies and most sizes.









You can buy these each of these shirts separately for 50 Lindens each.








However, if you like all 7 of them and can't decide on which one to buy, you can get all 7 in a Linden-saving fatpack for 300 Lindens.









B O O T I E S    T H A T    K N O W    H O W    T O    R O C K












The awesome boots I'm wearing is a new release from MODA Designs called Nakoma Fringe Booties.











These booties come packed with sizes to fit Belleza, Maitreya and Slink High Feet only. MODA Designs DO NOT provide the feet so please make sure you own at least one of these feet systems before or after purchase.









The booties also come packed with this amazing color HUD that will give  you numerous mixing and matching options with 30 MODA-custom colors on 4 faces, 2 heel cap options and 2 metal options for the zipper on the heel of the booties. 












Y O U    G O T T A    H A V E    T H E    A T T I T U D E

So in just a few day, June 4th to be exact, the doors will open to the Rock Attitude Fair 3 (RAF3). It's formally known at the Rock Attitude Fashion Fair but they dropped the "Fashion" due to expanding your shopping choice to more than just fashion. Don't worry your pretty little heads off...there will still be more fashion at this year's fair than your wallet will be able to handle. In this post, I have both a fashion item and a non-fashion item from the event to show you.












The pentagram-shaped hand wraps I'm wearing is just one of Diamanté's exclusives at RAF3. They are called Pentagram Hand Wraps.












They are made to fit Slink hands only and come with a color HUD that gives you 11 color choices for the spikes and rivets and 2 leather color choices (black and brown).












In the 4 photos where I look like I'm playing air guitar, is a pose set from  Image Essentials. It's fittingly called, Air Guitar and it's their exclusive for RAF3.











There are 5 different unisex poses (I've shown 4 in this post) and each of the 5 poses comes with mirrored versions.  If you want to live out your rock 'n' roll fantasy or just like playing air guitar, then this is a set that you cannot pass up on.













A S    A L W A Y S . . . S O M E    F I N A L    W O R D S . . .

Please don't forget, starting at 10AM SLT on June 4th is the BCA Rockfest and it will be 12 hours of non-stop hard rockin' tuneage from some great DJs. All tip jars will be donation jars that will go directly to the Breast Cancer Awareness campaign. Blasphemic is just one of the designers that will have vendors at the event where you an purchase fundraising exclusives and 100% of all sales proceeds will also be donated to Breast Cancer Awareness.

Also on June 4th is the opening day of Rock Attitude Fair which will run until June 18th. The main sponsors if this event are: Phoenix Hair, Empire, Tabou, Australia, K-Code, Alter Ego, American Bazaar and Inhale. With dozens of other designers participating in this event so be sure to check it out because it's always a fantastic shopping event and one of my personal favorites. If you would like to see a designer's list, please check out Hunt Madness's website.

Finally, don't forget to check out MODA Designs, Blasphemic and all my other sponsors both inworld and on Marketplace to see all they have to offer. If you have any space in your groups, please consider joining their VIP groups to take advantage of group gifts/offers and be the first to know of new releases and event exclusives.

Until next time...happy shopping!

Look No. 314: When One Door Closes; Another One Opens...

How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodby so hard.
~ Winnie the Pooh ~


Hello again my lovelies!

Lately, I've been seeing a lot of blog posts about some popular photography sims closing which makes me a little sad. I realize sims can't stay open forever but the ones I heard about were places I had used as the back drop for several of my posts. Unfortunately, I was not able to return to a couple of them before they shut down but, in this post, I was able to return to one of them. Frisland.

This beautiful sim was created by Charlie Namiboo, Frislanda Ferraris and Anabell Barzane back in 2014 and has become a favorite locale for bloggers and photographers all across the grid. If you have not had a chance to see this beautiful sim yet, please go and spend some time there before it closes for good on June 4th.

In this post, I have a lovely dress from Masoom that is an exclusive at Ultra. I also have a great pair of heels from MODA Designs that was an exclusive at the last round of PHAT Fashion Fair but should be in her store shortly. Finally, I have WoW Skins' exclusive at Mesh Body Addicts Bi-Monthly that I first showed you on my May 12th blog post.



W H A T    A    L O V E L Y    D R E S S    Y O U    H A V E    O N !












If you're looking for a pretty summery dress for a party, Masoom's Blossom Dress might be the one for you. It's an exclusive item at Ultra that opened on May 15th.








The dress is 100% original fitted mesh designed specifically for Maitreya Lara, Slink Physique and Slink Hourglass mesh bodies. (There is word that more sizes will be added in the future.) This dress has a materials enabled/no materials option as well.

There are 6 color options available that can be purchased separately or in a fatpack. If you want to see these options, please see the gallery on Seraphim's website.










O O O O H !    I    L O V E    B O W S !











The heels I'm wearing were MODA Designs' exclusive at the last round of PHAT Fashion Fair and they are called, Lara Bow Pumps. These shoes will fix Slink High Feet only so please make sure you own these feet if you decide to purchase them.










This HUD comes packed with these shoes and as you can see, you have numerous amounts of mixing and matching options with 30 MODA-custom colors on five faces.












W O W !    J U S T    W O W !




The beautiful skin I'm wearing is from WoW Skins. It's called Mimi and it's currently an exclusive at Mesh Body Addicts Bi Monthly.

I first showed you this skin on my May 12th post and I was wearing a lighter shade skin tone. Well, in this post, I decided to show you one of the darker shades because they are just delicious.

There are 6 gorgeous tones to choose from: milk, tan, golden, caffe, bronze and darktan. Each skin comes packed with appliers for Maitreya's mesh body, Catwa mesh head and Slink Hands and Feet. You get 4 brow options: no brow, ginger/red, blonde and brown. You also get 5 eye shadow options. There's even a separate applier to add moles and freckles.
 
 
 
 
 
 
B E F O R E    I    G O . . .
 
Ultra ends on June 15th and Mesh Body Addicts Bi-Monthly ends on June 10th. If you want to see a gallery of what the participating designers are showing at either of those events, please check out Serphim's webite.

Look No. 313: Tempt Your Senses

A blindfold is not a barrier...
It is a gateway to a different set of senses
~ Unknown ~


Hello again my lovelies!
 
In this post, I'm going to show you new releases from Blasphemic, I'piteme and MKP Poses. I also have a new gacha exclusive from Lushish Catz at Kinky Monthly and a new exclusive tattoo from Pin Up at Totally Top Shelf. Finally, I will show you another great set of nails from FormaNails and another gorgeous skin from Egozy.
 
 
 
A R E    Y O U    T A T T O O    A D D I C T E D ?
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Pin Up is participating at Totally Top Shelf and their exclusive is this beautiful tattoo that I'm wearing. It's called Freya Tattoo. It's strictly for mesh bodies only as there are no tattoo layers for classic bodies. It only comes packed with appliers for Belleza, Maitreya and Omega which gives you an option for 3 different shades: 40%, 60% and 80%.













W E    L I K E    S H O R T    S K O R T S



 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I realize what I'm wearing looks like a cute little mini skirt but it's actually skorts. It's a new release from Blasphemic and it's called Bonnie Skorts.
 
 
 The skorts are made to exclusively fit Maitreya's Lara mesh body and comes packed with a color HUD where you can change the color of the skirt black, green, pink, purple, red or white.
 
 
 
I ' M    A    S H O E    W H O R E . . . A R E    Y O U ?
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Mhm...yes I am! I love me a beautiful pair of shoes and I'piteme has just released these gorgeous heels I'm wearing called Clarice Pumps. 
 
These heels are made to fit Slink, Belleza and Maitreya High Feet. Please note, the feet are not included and you will need to make sure you own at least one of them before or after purchase.


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
This color hud comes packed with the Clarice Pumps. You get a choice of 2 shoe colors: black and white. You get 2 metal choices: silver and gold. You get 20 heel/back color options that will give you some very cool looks for your shoes.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
G A C H A    A N Y O N E ?
 
 
A new round of Kinky Monthly started a few days ago and Lushish Catz released an exclusive gacha collection called Blindfold. There are 10 Commons and 3 Rares: Black w/chains, Leopard w/chains and Black & White w/chains. I should tell you that each of the rares does come with a liquid mesh version that does not have the chain. In this post, I'm wearing the black rare liquid mesh version. Each pull will cost you 40L.



W H E R E    D O    Y O U    G E T    Y O U R    N A I L S    D O N E ? !




 
 
 
 
 
These amazing nails I'm wearing is from FormaNails. I'm sure some of you have seen them in different blogs. They were released about a month or so ago. They are called Stilleto Nails 02. These nails will only fit Slink Casual, Slink Elegant (NOT Elegant 1) and Maitreya hands (all sold separately). They are available in black/silver, black/gold, red/silver, red/gold, white/silver and white/gold (each color is sold separately).












T H E    S K I N    Y O U ' R E    I N



 
 
 The skin I'm wearing from Egozy with a Catwa head applier called Katniss. The skin tone I'm wearing is called Fair.
 
Katniss is specifically made for Catwa's mesh head "Candy". If you don't own the Candy head, I recommend trying on the free demo prior to purchase because Egozy does not refund any purchases.

When you buy the Katniss head applier, you also get mesh body appliers (Belleza, Maitreya, Slink, TMP and Omega), 5 eyebrow options and a no brow option, 6 eyeshadows, 6 lipsticks and a classic body skin for non-mesh body users but be sure you own Catwa's "Candy" head because the skin will not color the default head.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
T H E    C O V E R    P H O T O
 
The pose I'm using in the first 2 photos of this post (the 2nd one is the back view of the pose) is a new pose from MKP Poses. It will be released both Marketplace today. I'm not sure when it will be in the main store for you to demo as poses are only updated there once a month so something within the next month it will be added for you to demo.



I N    C O N C L U S I O N . . .

The current round of Kinky Monthly is open until June 20th. The current round of Totally Top Shelf is open but I was unable to find any current information on this round as far as how long it will be open so if you want the tattoo by Pin Up, I highly recommend heading over there as soon as you can.

Please be sure to check out Pin Up, Blasphemic, I'piteme, MKP Poses, Lushish Catz, FormaNails, Egozy and all my other sponsors both inworld and on Marketplace to see all they have to offer. If you have any space available in your groups, please consider joining their VIP groups as well so you can take advantage of group gifts/offers and be the first to know of all new releases and event exclusives.

Until next time...happy shopping!
