Look No. 258: She's Beautiful....And Deadly...

If she was a drink, she'd be single barrel bourbon on ice

Smooth with a kick, a chill and a burn all at the same time

She's Sunday drive meets high speed chase

She ain't just a song, she's a whole mixtape

She's so complicated that's the way God made her

Sunshine mixed with a little hurricane

Hello again my lovelies!

One of the most anticipated and popular monthly events, Collabor88, just opened a few days ago and I finally was able to slip in and pick up a bunch of goodies. I must say that the theme of the February round of Collabor88 is one of my favorites...Espionage! Sexy, huh? Yup....VERY! So my post today is all about some of the sexy items I picked up there.

The uber sexy leather dress I'm wearing is from one of my favorite designers, Dead Dollz, who is a guest designer at C88. It's called Nikita. This dress is exclusive only to Maitreya's mesh body.

Each dress comes packed with two versions: zipped and unzipped (as shown in this photo).

Photo courtesy of Dead Dollz store blog

The Nikita dress is available in 8 gorgeous colors that can be purchased separately or in a Linden-saving fatpack if you cannot pick out just one or two colors.

My next great buy at C88 are these really amazing heels I'm wearing are from N-Core Designs. It's called Nika.

These heels will fit N-Core Extreme, Slink High, Maitreya High, Belleza High and TMP. So make sure you own one of these feet systems prior or after purchase.

The gun and holster is removable but if you choose to wear the shoes with the gun, you can choose between a gold and silver. It also comes packed with a wearable handgun in gold and silver. 

The shoes are available in 14 great colors that can be purchased separately or in a fatpack.

D!va Hair is back at C88 with this pretty short style called Amanda. It's available in 12 colors that can be purchased separately or in a fatpack.

The beaded necklace I'm wearing is Maxi Gossamer's exclusive at C88. It's called Mata Hari Mesmer.  It also has a matching set of earrings that you can purchase separately if necklaces aren't your thing or you can buy a complete set which will give you both the necklace and earrings in the package.

The poses in the first 2 photos and the 4 poses in this photo are from Label Motion's exclusive at C88 called Agnes. The two guns I'm holding are also part of the package. What's nice about some of these poses is that they also look great without the gun if you aren't going for that kind of look.

Please visit Collabor88's website to see a catalog of what other items are being offered at the current round. As always, they have some fabulous designers showing there. As always, getting in the first week is generally difficult but don't give up, keep trying or wait another week or two; the event is open all month. Trust me...it's DEFINITELY worth the wait!

Until next time...happy shopping!

Hello again my lovelies!

I very rarely do a post on items that aren't from the designers I represent but once in awhile, I get inspired and tonight I was inspired after I picked up this gorgeous group gift from Lumae.

Those who know me well know that I'm a sucker for gorgeous skins. I became a HUGE fan of Lumae's skin last spring when I picked up her Adore Priestess skin at We <3 Roleplay. Well, tonight, as I was trying to decide on what to blog next, I received a notification that she just released a new group gift. Naturally, I quickly teleported over to the store and picked it up. As you can see it is ABSOLUTELY glorious!

This skin is called Eirtae Solaris and it comes fully loaded with goodies: mesh body appliers for Omega, Maitreya, Slink, Belleza, TMP and AMD Bump; mesh head appliers for Lelutka, Logo, Slink Visage, Omega, TMP and Catwa (all with 3 brow options); mouth appliers for Loud Mouth, Nyam Nyam, Sweet Lips and Soul Kissers; Soul Ear applier; 3 sizes of Leevi Ears; shapes for both average and curvy bodies; and options for classic avatar bodies. Yes, it is all for free!

The beautiful eyes I'm wearing are from Ikon's Triumph Eyes collection. The color is called Tigress.

If you want this skin, hurry on over to Lumae and grab it. If you're not part of Lumae's VIP group and worried about it costing to join the group, well....I have great news! It's FREE to join the VIP group! I hope you decide to take advantage of this amazing deal!

Until next time...happy shopping!

Look No. 256: A Little Romance

I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight

I've never seen you shine so bright

I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance

Their looking for a little romance, given half the chance

And I have never seen that dress you're wearing

Or the highlights in your hair that catch your eyes

I have been blind.

Hello my lovelies!

Valentine's Day falls in February, this month seems to be synonymous with love and the color red signifies passionate love and seduction. February is also the month for Fi's Hunt's Add Some Red Hunt 3 and I have two gift items from that hunt to show you and a new release from MODA Designs.

One of the sponsors of the Add Some Red Hunt is D.o.R.k. Their gift item for the hunt is this cute strapless mini dress called Paisley.

The dress is 100% mesh and is available in 5 standard mesh sizes and it comes with one fitted mesh size which worked great with my Maitreya body.

The 2nd gift item in the Add Some Red Hunt is the screen with the coffee sign hanging from it. Yes, the vase , the stack of books and the stack of books with the lamp are a part of this gift; it's all one piece actually which I thought is really nice. The sponsor of this gift is Sickly SWEET.

The really cute wedge heels I'm wearing is a new release from MODA Designs called Veronica Leather Heels.

It's made to fit Belleza and Slink high feet so if you are considering purchasing these heels, please make sure you own one of these feet systems before or after purchase.

MODA has included this amazing color HUD with these shoes that gives you a choice of 30 Moda-custom colors, on 5 faces, for endless mixing and matching options. You also get a choice of gold and silver for the metal portions of the shoes.

In this post I am wearing eyes from Ikon's Triumph Eyes collection. The beautiful color I'm wearing is called Forest.

As always, I'm wearing skin from Hush Skins. It's their latest release called Jasmine. The color I'm wearing is called Toffee.

The Add Some Red Hunt 3 is running all month long till February 29th. Please check out Fi's Hunt's website for more info on the hunt and for hunt gift item hints and SLURLs. Also, please do check out MODA Designs, Ikon and Hush Skins both inworld and on Marketplace to see all that they have to offer.

Until next time...happy shopping and happy hunting!

Hello again my lovelies!

Today I'm back with an uber cute cropped tee and panties from I'piteme. These actually came out a couple weeks ago but because of my real life getting so busy, I didn't have a chance to blog them yet and I really, really wanted to. So, here I am but, as I like to always say, better late than never.

Also, PosESioN is back at The Cosmopolitan Sales Room with a brand new set of poses for women that is really fabulous.

The cropped tee and panties are called, fittingly, Graffiti.

They both come packed with clothing layers for classic bodies and mesh body appliers for Omega, Slink Physique & Hourglass, Belleza Isis, Venus and Freya, Maitreya and Lena Perky/Lush.

Both the tee and panties also come packed with 2 HUDs that look like this one. Each HUD giving you a choice of 6 different words on the front of the tee and on the back of the panties: HunnyBunny, Twinkie, Doll, Kitten, Tomboy, Trouble, Slave, Puppy, Bitch, Queenie, Diva and Babygirl.

Now, do keep in mind that I'm only showing you the ones for the cropped tee but I assure you that the HUDs for the panties is exactly the same.

You can purchase the panties and tees separately or you can buy them combined together.

PosESioN is back at The Cosmopolitan Sales Room with a great set of poses for women called Jalis.

It is a 10-pose set that you can purchase separately or as a complete set. All the poses in this post are from this set.

The current round of The Cosmopolitan Sales Room is now open and runs until February 15th.

The beautiful blue eyes I'm wearing in this post is from Ikon's Vanity Eyes collection. The color is called Fjord.

The skin I'm wearing is from HUSH Skins called Shannon and the skin tone is called Toffee. I am wearing my Lelutka mesh head and using the Jasmine mesh head applier with this skin.

Please be sure to check out I'piteme, PosESioN, Ikon and Hush Skins both inworld and on Marketplace. If you have space in your groups, please consider joining their VIP groups for group gifts and news on new releases and events.

Until next time...happy shopping!

Hello again my lovelies!
