Alice welcomes you into this blog post!
Just kidding, it’s just me :P
This sexy little Alice in Wonderland outfit is from Deviance, one of the best places to get cute costumes inspired by fairytale characters. I love to dress up in SL, but I usually stick to cute/naughty costumes, not sci-fi or scary stuff. I want to try more sci-fi stuff though!
This post features the new Vive9 Carrot skins. I will admit that I did not like this brand when it was first launched, because I thought the work was sloppy and had seams everywhere. Seams are unforgivable, especially in places like the face, torso, legs, or other highly visible places. I was so pleasantly surprised when I tried on Carrot skins and I liked the face and didn’t notice seams everywhere.
This skin is not perfect but it is good enough to buy and wear.
I did notice one thing that annoyed me, and I can’t believe I’m saying this cos it sounds really weird but the palms are too light for the skin tone, and there’s a seam on the hand (which I can live with because it’s not a highly visible area). Here’s a picture to show you what I’m talking about:
Now that I have THAT out of the way, onto the makeups and the face itself, which is fantastic! I’m such a fan of youthful faces and rosy cheeks <3
Each skin tone has 9 makeups, and each makeup has 3 brow option (Blonde, Brown, Red) and a freckles version. I’m wearing the Blonde brows and Apricot skin tone here.
Warning! NSFW nekkie picture below! But since this is my first time reviewing Vive9 here, I wanted to show the new body (and any reason to plaster my boobs on Juicybomb is a good reason)!
If you were not a fan of Vive9 before, you might like these skins now.

I’m hesitant to use the word ‘diva’ here to describe the above picture, but yes, we are inspired by RL music divas! I’ve recently stumbled upon DIRAM, and I think it’s a fun lil’ store if you’re into dressing up all sexy-diva-like! The outfits were not cheap, but sooo worth it cos it’s dead-on for each celebrity look. I loved my Britney one!

Hello SL! Check out this new Mahari Dress from Zaara. I’ve always been a huge fan of the textures and designs because her textures are completely unique, they have their own look and nothing else on the grid is like it. I love the luscious silky textures and generous use of colors & feminine patterns.
When I saw this Mahari Dress, I had to have it! Zaara’s always been very nice to me and her customer service is top-notch. I am wearing the Mahari Dress in Apricot and Bloom.
Visit Zaara!
I spent all morning trying to figure out which skin I would wear this with, when I tried on the new Laqroki Pearl skins and LOVED them!! This is a skin for Blondes (but will work with Brown hair colors too).
I haven’t really blogged a new skin release in awhile, I guess nothing appealed to me lately until Pearl came along <3
The Laqroki Pearl skins includes has 10 makeups, and a ‘hairbase’ version of each skin. I really like the makeups on these, there’s a good mix of glam makeups and casual makeups to suit any occasion.
Visit Laqroki!
What I’m Wearing:
Laqroki – Pearl [Fair] Glow Skin
Friday – Marie (Happy Blond) w. hair flower
Zaara – Mahari (Bloom, Apricot)
Juicy – Classic Pumps (Black Cherry)

Someone on my plurk timeline said that in SL, avatars can choose what they want to look like yet so many choose the skanky whore look, or something like that. I should be ashamed of myself, but I like my skanky look. But there’s a fine line between skanky cute and skanky whore, I try not to cross it, but sometimes I think that I may be crossing over to the skanky whore line a bit (and I like it).
It took me awhile to dig through my inventory for something to match Luck Inc’s newest release, the Ruffled Miniskirt, but I think I’ve put together a look that I really like.
After the craziness that was SLDD yesterday, Truth has released all the hairstyles at his main store. I’m wearing 3 of the girls styles – Milli, Elysium, and Chalice. Not featured here is a men’s styled called Ben. Some day when Boy Gogo gets an upgrade, I might feature the hairstyle here :p
What I’m Wearing:
LeLutka – IFElight-Haiti(D Brows)
Truth – Milla (Cocoa)
Luster – Haute Bunny Ears – Little Bunny(Black)
Intimizzio – Silk Wish Brazier (Black)
Naith Smit – Rock ‘n’Rolla Chain
Naith Smit – Blood Diamonds Ring
Skream! – petiet Purity Chain Necklace (Black)
Luck Inc – Ruffled MiniSkirt (Black)
Maitreya – SoHo Boots (PatentMix Black)

SLDD was crazy this morning. I’ve only bought two SLDD items ever, one was a pose set from ages ago, and this new Chalice hair from Truth. If you were one of oh.. 500? or more? to snag this hair fatpack at $450, LUCKY YOU!! It was worth the lag.

I’ve done nothing productive today except make this Barbie Makeup on the new SL 2.0 tattoo layer. I’m quite happy with it, even though I drew that eye makeup with my mouse. I totally respect skin makers for the wonderful work they do, cos this isn’t easy at all!

Megg Demina, creator of Chapeau tres Mignon, has created a wonderful exhibit titled Heroes of Fashion, to showcase items inspired real-life designers, Alexander McQueen and Philip Treacy. All works on displayed can be purchased and worn — such as this gorgeous Philip Treacy Flower hat.
I am pairing the PT Flower Hat with the Eden dress in Black from Donna Flora (by Squinternet Larnia, who is also one of my personal “heroes” of SL fashion).
Here’s a close-up of the yummy McQueen Goth Boots, also available for purchase at the Heroes of Fashion exhibit.
Donna Flora – Eden Dress (Cherry)
I’ve put together a few more looks featuring new Donna Flora releases, they are FANTASTIC. I’m so glad she’s been making shorter dresses lately.
Donna Flora – Agostina Dress (Red) | Donna Flora – OLD LACE jewelry set
I’m wearing the Donna Flora Agostina Dress in Red (but it actually looks Orange on my screen). Orange is a very hard color to pull off, but I am keeping it simple with Tangerine colored Juicy pumps, and the ornate Old Lace jewelry set, also from Donna Flora.

**important info: I am using the new St. Patrick’s Day photo effects from Picnik.com to tint my photos!! I will be abusing this Emerald tint a lot. I love the slight yellow-green tint on my otherwise very bright & white images.

LeLutka sent 5 gift makeups to group members. Join the LeLutka group in-world to get these! Oh yeah, they only work with the new Second Life 2.0 viewer, because these are makeups on the tattoo layer. I wore them with the Lelutka Ife Base skin, and they work terrifically!!
I wore the teal eyeshadow on Pink Fuel’s skin and it works pretty well here too. YAY!

I am test driving the new interface & new layers!! After how many years of griping about not having an extra tattoo layers to wear over our skin/clothes, Linden Lab has finally created one. There’s also an ALPHA layer!! Oh, and my dear little fashionista heart is so happy there’s a WEARING tab that lists everything I’m wearing. This will making doing outfit credits SO much easier! I LOVE YOU LINDEN LAB.
This viewer will take some time to get used to, but it’s better to start getting used to it now, before they roll out the official version. I like what I’m seeing so far! <3
I made a ‘viva la juicy’ tattoo to test out the layer. It works awesome!! If only I could make better tattoos, lol!
In addition to tattoos, creative residents can also try adding stuff to their skins like beauty marks, extra makeup, etc. I think this will be AMAZING, I can’t wait to see what designers come up with!
