Look No. 500: Home Is Where Your Story Begins

Hello again my lovelies and happy September!

A new round of FaMESHed (closes on September 27th) opened yesterday and Beauty Factory has collaborated with one of my favorite stores, Scandalize Creations, to create two fabulous exclusives for this event. I am so excited and in love with this collaboration and super happy to be showing it to you. I also have G&D's exclusive at the current round of Cosmopolitan (closes on September 9th), the current round of Limit8 (closes on September 13th) is still open so I'm going to show you Avenge's Limited Edition exclusive for this event and finally, I have a new releases from [west end] and ::SAGAb:: for all you Catwa Bento head lovers.

Oh, and I want to send out mad props to Robert Galland for creating the beautiful skybox I'm using in this post. Apparently, Mr. Galland and I hail from the same city which is one of the city backdrops that comes with this skybox. So, hence the title of this post.

Anyway, I hope you like what I have to show you. Until next time...happy shopping!

Look No. 470: Let Me Tell You About This Girl Named Brown Sugar

Hello again my lovelies!

I'm pretty active on Flickr and sometimes I see things that literally make my jaw drop to the floor and I know that I have to blog them so I can share them with you. Well, in this last week I found two items that compelled me to do that: the dress I'm wearing and the skin applier I'm using. To add to these items, I have another fabulous tattoo from Carol G. Tattoo Wear and a nail/toe applier from Dark Passions-Koffin Nails to show you as well. I hope you like what I have to show you.

They say that there is an elegance to simplicity. Yanikka (aka: Dakota Mosely), owner/designer of Scandalize, has mastered that elegance in her clothing. On top of that, she has managed to make her clothing incredibly sexy without showing too much. This is why I'm a HUGE fan of her clothing. The spectacular dress I'm wearing, called Viloria, is her new group gift that she released a couple days ago. This dress is fitted mesh made to fit Belleza Isis/Venus/Freya, Slink Hourglass/Physique and Maitreya Lara mesh bodies. It comes packed with a color HUD that gives you 22 beautiful color options (11 solid and 11 ombre) to choose from.

The tattoo I'm wearing is Carol G. Tattoo Wear's exclusive at the current round of The Chapter Four (closes on August 1st) and it's called Ganesh. As always, this tattoo is an applier only tattoo for Belleza, Slink, Maitreya and Omega-compatible mesh bodies. It's available in two ink colors: red and black.

What you can't really see in my photos above is the nail/toe applier I'm wearing from Dark Passions-Koffin Nails called Metallic Colored Tips. It's an applier that was released in March for Mesh Body Addicts Bi-Monthly but is now available at the main store. It has appliers for Slink, Maitreya and Omega-compatible mesh/Bento hands that can be purchased separately or in a fatpack. If you use Empire's nails, the Omega applier works beautifully with them.

As you can see from the photo above, the HUD offers you several really gorgeous, jewel-tone colors to choose from with either a clear white back or clear beige back.

I chose to wear the bright yellow dress because I felt it contrasted beautifully with the skin applier I'm wearing from It Girls called Lore. Another blogger had mentioned it in a bloggers' group that I'm in and I am so glad my curiosity got the best of me because it's truly gorgeous. Being the skin whore that I am, I cannot pass up a skin applier as glorious as this one is. This is a Catwa applier and it's available in 5 skin tones: Pale, Summer, Tan, Cocoa and Café. I couldn't pass up buying the Cocoa tone. I just love the richness, beauty and sexiness of this brown skin. Each tones comes packed with the shape (copy/mod) that I'm using (requires Catwa's Catya Bento head), 3 hairbase options (dark, brown and blonde), 3 eyebrow options (dark, brown and no brow) and a freckles option. I must admit that this is the first time I have ever worn a skin by It Girls or even walked into her store. I actually wished that I never set foot into It Girls' main store because I saw so many skins that I just wanted to buy. I highly recommend checking It Girls out if you have never done so. I assure you that you won't walk away disappointed.

Until next time...happy shopping!

Look No. 448: Flowers And Butterflies Drift In Color

Hello again my lovelies!

Gosh, I feel like it's been forever since my last post. Poor little me hurt my lower back last week and sitting was incredibly painful so I had to do what I could until I could sit for a long period of time to complete this post.

In this post I'm going to bring you an anyBODY exclusive from Scandalize, an On9 exclusive from MODA Designs, a Shiny Shabby exclusive from Carol G. Tattoo Wear, an eBento exclusive from WoW Skins and an exclusive from *PosESioN* at The Darkness Monthly Event (TDME).

The dress I'm wearing is called Jaida and it's an exclusive from Scandalize at the anyBODY event (closes on May 31st). It's 100% original mesh made to fit Belleza Isis/Venus/Freya, Slink Hourglass/Physique and Maitreya Lara mesh bodies. It comes packed with a 10-color HUD giving you some beautiful colors to choose from for both the skirt and top.

What you can't see in the photo above is the back tattoo I'm wearing from Carol G. Tattoo Wear. It's the first 3D tattoo called Love Me - Butterfly. This is an applier only tattoo for Belleza, Slink, Maitreya Lara, TMP and Omega-compatible mesh bodies. There are 3 other 3D butterfly tattoos to choose from (each sold separately). Be sure to check these tattoos out at the current round of Shiny Shabby that runs until June 15th.

The heels I'm wearing are from MODA Designs called Mariposa Platforms and they can be found at On9 (closes May 28th). It's 100% original mesh made to fit Belleza, Slink and Maitreya high mesh feet. It comes packed with an awesome color HUD for loads of mixing and matching options.

The beautiful skin applier I'm wearing is called Summer and it's a new Catwa Bento applier from WoW Skins. It's an exclusive at the brand new event called eBento. This skin applier is available in 6 skin tone options with each tone giving you a dark brow and no brow options. The body appliers are sold separately. The shape I'm wearing is the Summer Bento shape and it's being sold separately at the event.

Finally, the pose I'm using in the cover photo above is from *PosESioN*. It's from a pose set called Shadow Set and it's an exclusive at The Darkness Monthly Event (TDME) (closes on May 31st). This is a 10-pose set for ladies and you can try each of the poses at the event. Each pose in the set can be purchased separately.

I hope you like what I have to show you. Until next time...happy shopping!

Look No. 443: The Monster Under Your Bed

Hello again my lovelies!

People have always asked me why I'm such a persistent person. Why? Because it pays off in the end and sometimes it pays quite well. Well, I learned just how well it can pay yesterday. When I logged in to SL, I received an invitation to join White Widow's blogging team. It was the 4th time I put in my application to blog for one of my favorite tattoo artists on the grid so you can imagine how super excited I am.

In this post, I'm wearing an exclusive from my new sponsor that you can find at the current round of On9 (closes on May 28th) called Free Love. It's an applier only tattoo for Belleza, Slink, Maitreya Lara, Eve, TMP, Sking Brazilia Doll, Adam and Omega-compatible mesh bodies. This tattoo is also available in henna and white ink.

The barely there dress I'm wearing is from BF Clothing & Accessories called Lisa Dress. It was an exclusive at the last round of Cosmopolitan that ended on May 5th but due to lack of time, I didn't have time to blog it during that round. With that being said, it's now available at the main store. It's fitted mesh made to fit Maitreya Lara and Slink Hourglass/Physique mesh bodies. It comes with a HUD that will allow you to change the color of the chain going around the neck and down the front of the body. A demo is available for you to try before you buy.

The nipple covers I'm wearing is Bubble's exclusive at Memento Mori called X Pasties Set. It comes packed with 2 versions: a rigged version for Belleza Freya, Slink Hourglass/Physique and Maitreya Lara mesh bodies and an unrigged version for other bodies. There is also a color/texture HUD giving you more than several color options. A demo is available.

The beautiful long hair I'm wearing is from Phoenix Hair called Claudia Hair and you can find it at The Chapter Four (TC4) (closes May 21st). There are 9 color packs to choose from and, of course, there is a fatpack. As always, each of the color packs and fatpack has the special rainbow HUD for Phoenix Hair group members to unlock. A demo is available at the event.

The sexy heels I'm wearing is from KC Couture and you can find it at Mesh Body Addicts Bi-Monthly that opened today. It's called Marith Heels. It's 100% original mesh made to fit Belleza Isis/Venus/Freya, Tonic, Slink Hourglass/Physique and Maitreya Lara mesh bodies. As always, it comes packed with a 45-color HUD that will give you a ton of mixing and matching options.

Finally, my gorgeous skin is WoW Skins' exclusive at the current round of Kinky Monthly that will close on May 19th. It's called Adriana Catwa Bento Applier. There are 6 skin tone options: Milk, Tan, Bronze, Dark Tan, Golden and Caffe. With each tone you'll get a dark brow and a no brow option. Body appliers are sold separately. The shape I'm wearing is called Bento Shape Adriana and it's also sold separately. It's copy/modify but I do want to stress to you that I DID NOT modify the face/head in anyway but I did modify the body to my preferred shape and height. Something else to note is the head used in WoW Skin's ad is Catwa's Catya head but in this post I'm wearing Catwa's Kimberly head and I did this so you can see what the shape looks like on a different head.

I hope you like what I have to show you. Until next time...happy shopping!
