Belleza – Shyla

Shyla, a brand new skin line from Belleza was released a few days ago and so far I can safely say this is my favorite Belleza skin as of yet. They just seem to get better with each new skin line. The lips on this skin are very lush and they eye make ups are expertly painted on. There is not too much blush in this skin which is a pet peeve of mine and the over all tone and body is sexy. I also love the eyebrows.

(Hair – D!va @ Collabor88, Triumph Boots from Gos, Panties from Ladies who Lunch, Gartered tights from League, Poses from /Geez/ by Grazia Horwitz.)

There are currently 16 makeups available in 6 skintones from Pale to Mocha. The base skin has dark brows and the hair base is on a layer. Also, the red and blonde hairbase/brows are included with the purchase and come on the tattoo layer. Cleavage will now be included with skin on both the tattoo and undershirt layers.

The Shyla skins are 1,200L$ each. 2,200L$ for a line of 4 skins and 4,000L$ for the full pack.

Lipstick tattoo layer is a mix of Betty and Shyla skin line. They are included in the line/bundle of the Shyla skin and also sold separately as a bundle.

Perfect Wardrobe – Asylum

“Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage

Now I’m naked, nothing but an animal
But can you fake it, for just one more show?
And what do you want?
I want to change
And what have you got, when you feel the same?

Even though I know – I suppose I’ll show
All my cool and cold – like old job”
Smashing Pumpkins – Bullet with Butterfly Wings

Archie Appeal Funding Raising Event @ Truth District

I went and checked out the Archie Appeal Event for Gospel Voom’s Beloved cat Archibald. There are many designers showing support with items being sold to benefit Archie’s treatment which will easily get up into five figures.. and if you have ever had a pet that you just loved so much you know that this is a nightmare.

If we could all pull together a little right now for Gos and Archie as a community to support a Pet and Pet Owner that has come to mean so much to the SL community any little bit would help. There are even donation kiosks’s available at the event.

For my post I am wearing.. not much.. because the Entire Gos store on the Truth District sim is half off.. and you if you are going to go naked you may as well be in Gos shoes. The stacked poses that I am using are from oOoStudios and they have several different poses in them and the prop is mesh and very easy to adjust.

I had a lot of fun with these poses. The other designers who are also taking part in this event are: !bang, .emm, *elymode*, A.D.D. Andel, bent!, wetcat, Eclat, Embody, exposeur, Gos, ooo studios, picture this!, Prime, Somnia, and Status. I believe more may be added.

“Starting today and running through Sept 2nd, a fundraising event is being held at the Truth District sim to raise monies for Archibald. “Archie” is the cat of Gospel Voom, creator of Gos. He was hit by a car last Saturday night and miraculously survived and found his way home, but he was in bad shape. He is being treated for his massive head and facial injuries, and as you can imagine, the surgeries and veterinary costs have already been and will continue to be astronomical – into the 5 digits!

Truth District and several talented friends from across the grid have come together in support by volunteering their creations as donations to help pay for these expenses. Most of the items are 100% donation, and the entire Gos store (on the Truth District sim) is 50% off. Anyone that has ever had a pet knows how they are more than just an animal, but are instead a member of the family. If you feel so inclined to help this cause, head on over to Truth District today.”

Foam Toasty Tart!

Zodiac by the Hottie Cooterati Experience is about to begin today, August 23rd, and run through September 17th for Virgo. When I first saw this Foam Toasty Tart from Strawberry Fizz.. well it was instant love. I eat pop tarts pretty often for breakfast.. and well they say “You are what you eat..” so I may as well be a toasty tart!

I mean, really you could wear this anywhere. It’s mesh, low lag and a lot of fun. You could be a lazy blogger – like me.. or just a bored fashionista hoping to start a brand new trend.. either way this tart is for you.. male or female. It also comes as a hot tart with steam.. so go check it out at Zodiac!

Priya by morning

Well really, here it’s night.. So I’ve come to show you some new things in which I feel are worth picking up. The first is this Priya sofa with drapes and a chandelier from MudHoney for Famseshed.

If you have not picked these up yet they are adorable and I’m loving this teal color on the sofa.. plus the sofa is packed with animations.

Then I picked up this brand new fitted button down shirt from Mon Tissu.. which I fell in love with. Exile also has a few new hairs.. this is one of them and it’s called “Sober”. My panties are from D. Select and my poses are from !Bang.

Fashion Voodoo, baby…

Yesterday, Fashion Voodoo put on by Depraved Nation opened. I went, walked around a bit, lagged a bit and tried to see what I could find to blog. As I was walking around be careful of the bridges as I fell in the water.. but my SL grace and balance is just as bad as my RL grace and balance.. I had to tp to someone to get out of the pit! But if you are wondering what exactly Fashion Voodoo is.. I found it on the blog.

“This Event is a FASHION FAIR. There is no chairty affliation for this event. All proceeds from this event will stay with the participating designers. Our goal for this event is to bring an array of Quality designers to one location, giving shoppers an opportunity to browse the very best of what SL has to offer! Over 100 brands are expected to participate, each bringing a NEW, EXCLUSIVE item for the event marked @ 50% off what the original selling price would be!”

For my Voodoo look I am wearing the Haitian Collier set from VAUGHANS, The Voodoo edition of Betty from Belleza, and a long flowy skirt and tight little top from the Plastik all available at the event. The table with the neato Voodoo stuff is also from VAUGHANS at the Fashion Voodoo event.

I am wearing one of the newest hairs from Truth called Soliel and poses from Bent.

Betty from Belleza @ The Vintage Fair

The Betty skin line from Belleza which is at the Vintage Fair currently has four skin tones available in the line ranging from Pale to tan. The full release in store will also include Deep Tan and Mocha.

There are 10 makeups and 4 exclusive Vintage Fair makeups. The red and blond hairbase/brows are included with purchase and come on the tattoo layer.

The 4 Vintage fair makeups have all been inspired from different eras – 30s, 40s, 50s & 60s. They are currently on sale at Vintage fair, along with the other 10 makeups. However, the EXCLUSIVE VF skins are being sold for 1,000L$ for each makeup and also include ALL skin tones for that price, this is a special for the event. The Betty skins are 1,200L$ each. 2,000L$ for a line of 5 skins and 3,000L$ for the full pack.

Oh, Miss Betty..

The Fabulous Vintage Fair of 2012 opened yesterday promptly at 4 PM SLT. I have to say, It is worth going and exploring the three sims filled to the brim with sparkling newness.

For instance the kind and very charming Tricky Boucher of Belleza Skins released this new skin called Betty.

It is very much inspired in vintage and has a totally rocking bod that Miss Betty Page would be proud to show off. When I went this morning I saw on the wall that their is a special price for the ladies that modeled for this skin. I bought the Neva, Betty Makeup 0 that comes with a sampling of all skin tones and brows. For 1000L, the deal was too good to pass up and completely well worth it.

The Feathers and poses are from a newly released pose set from Glitterati. I love how fun, sexy and playful they are. The hair is the Veronica hair from Wasabi Pills who in the last few months has become one of my most favorite places for hair in SL.

Anyhow, I hope you had a great weekend.. I had a wonderful birthday.
Ciao for now 🙂

Mmm Bellbottoms

In the mid seventies before she gave birth to yours truly.. my mom was a hippie. She had this saying that said “Bell Bottom Trousers with buttons made of brass.. loose around the ankles but tight around the ass” Tyr of Aura/Auxiliary a sponsor of/and Vintage Fair creator put this outfit out last night and I fell in love. The belted top is so so so adorable too.

This hair form Wasabi Pills also at the Vintage Fair which opens today at 4SLT is gorgeous. I keep on changing my hair color like crazy but Wasabi Pills makes beautiful reds. The poses in this post are also an offering from the Vintage Fair by Wet Cat, and this house is at the vintage fair too from Vespertine.
