POSEUR - Just Friends (and More than Friends)

POSEUR @ Project Donate

Project Donate begins this weekend but I think the sim is public access now and you can teleport there to buy goodies. I made a new couple’s pose with half of the proceeds going to charity. Included in the pose pack is two different versions of a similar pose; one is called Just Friends and the other one is called More Than Friends. This pose is very sweet and perfect for photographs :)

Come check it out!!

So Kyoot

my house, work in progress

About a month ago, I purchased the VDR Island Cottage; it was fully furnished but I wanted a more personal look so I am slowly re-furnishing every room. So far…. I have done the office, kitchen, and this cute little sitting area.

I love the Kyoot Home Silhouette Photo Tree! It’s 33 prims so maybe not for the prim-conscious but it definitely fills a wall nicely and can take the place of a bookshelf or fireplace.

Items seen here:

Kyoot Home – Silhouette Photo Tree I
Kyoot Home – group gift Drawer Set

The Loft- m.fox (LP)- Window Shades (discontinued)

Laqroki Tess 2 Skin

Laqroki - Tess 2

Some time back in early August, I said I wouldn’t blog any skins for an entire month, so I could dedicate some of my blog posts to all the other wonderful things in SL — like shoes? clothes? aos? things I don’t normally cover enough of! Obviously couldn’t resist the lure of new skins so I have covered skins numerous of times this month.

Let’s just say I love skins. Every new skin is like unwrapping a surprise gift and trying it on and like magic, a lovely new face emerges.

Laqroki - Tess 2

These new Laqroki Tess 2 skins have thicker Dark Brown brows, but I am wearing a Blonde brows (tattoo) over it for my review. I think the lighter brows adds to the youthful look of this face, it’s so pretty.

These makeups are so pretty I wish I had them on all my other skins!

UNICEF Pakistan Flood Crisis Fund

by Gogo on August 29, 2010

in Uncategorized

I’m re-posting this info about UNICEF Project for anyone that may be interested in helping. This is short notice but please consider taking part in this event as it is helping people in immediate need.

UNICEF Pakistan Flood Crisis Fund 4 – 19 September 2010

http://www.unicef.org/infobycountry/pakistan_55713.html

Dear lovely SL merchant! <3

I know this is very short notice but this may be something we can do on a regular and ongoing basis. UNICEF are currently raising funds for the Pakistan Flood Crisis. Millions of people have been affected and thousands are without homes.

If you’d like to be part of this fund raising effort you could donate all or part of the proceeds of an item/s (I’d like to request at least 50% of your item/s – can be exclusive, existing, discounted whatever you like!) The point is to raise as much money as we can in the 2 week period.

I will be donating 100% of the proceeds of one hairstyle and doubling the amount raised off my item to go towards this cause. I’ll advertise the fund through my update group and list all the merchants involved. I have ordered a sim “Project Donate” from which you will vend your items (in addition to your own locations). You are free to landmark to your own stores from this location which will be entirely removed from my own sim.

I’ve created an account “Unicef Rainfall” which will collect the proceeds. Once you confirm you’d like to participate I’ll send out all necessary split scripts etc. You will also need a group space available to place your item/s.

Thank you for considering and hope to have you on board!

If you’d like to move forward just send Unicef Rainfall a notecard with your name, store, landmark…sorry this is all a bit informal at the moment :P

Unique Megastore - Meggan

After yesterday’s vagina post, I have to redeem myself with a normal fashion post now! These fabulous new Meggan skins are from Unique Megastore. I’m a fan of nice celebrity-inspired faces, so I find myself drawn to these skins.

I would have to say that this is one of the nicer celebrity skins out there, where it’s not just a low quality cut & paste job.

Meggan has 12 makeups, hair base, sexy breasts, and two open lips skin.

Armidi is back! You can read all about it at theofficialpressrelease.com site. For those of you who are newly rezzed, the Armidi designers are alts of previous designers in SL.

  • London Armidi = (Armidi)
  • Adian Armidi = (Armidi)
  • Juju Armidi = Julliette Westerburg (Tres Blah)
  • Hudsen Armidi = Emma Gilmour (Surf Co)

I guess we’ll be seeing lots more Armidi newness in the coming months…. do I smell a Winter collection?

Also, Friday announced recently that they will be focusing on releasing more clothing and accessories and less hair and we now know why! Rumor has it that Parvarti Monday is Elikapeka Tiramisu (of ETD), so now that Parvati is scaling back hair releases, welcome back Elika (again)!

The ETD sim is gone from the grid but there is a new Elikatira sim. Fans of ETD will be happy to know this! I wonder if we’ll be seeing new textures and more sculpted styles at the new Elikatira sim?

Speaking of hair, Truth has pulled out of Hair Fair. Sadness! This year’s theme is kept a secret, even from the designers so I guess we’ll just have to wait and see if it’s worth the wait.

/Edit/ I had originally posted that London and Adian Armidi are alts of previous designers but I am told that they are in fact original Armidi accounts and not connected to any previous designer accounts. So there you have it! :)

Iris Ophelia - Runny Mascara

Iris Ophelia has released these 5 Viewer 2.0 Runny Mascara Tattoos, they’re only available on XStreetSL, so click the link to purchase there. I have no idea why, I just love taking a pretty skin and throwing on messy makeups and other things. I like… regular makeups, dramatic makeups, stickers, blood, cuts, bruises, band-aids, etc. Creators of SL, make some!!! :)

Bare Rose

Kookie has just released these Nyox boots; they come with the regular version (with invisiprims) and also an alpha version. These boots are gorgeous, check out the close-up! I think they go perfectly well with my favorite Bare Rose White Mist outfit.

Imabee Serene Skins

by Gogo on August 23, 2010

in Fashion, Skins, Uncategorized

Do you know that people who always gives glowing feedback to everything by saying it’s so nice, I love it <3<3, stunning, awesome, great work! <- those people, everyone thinks they’re nice people. Sometimes I wonder if I’m not a nice person if I see the potential in something, but then I also can’t help but point out the things that are not so nice, not so awesome, and potentially could be hurting their brand.

Imabee is one of these skin brands that I think has potential, but there are some things that definitely needs work (in my opinion) so I hesitated to review it for a long time. I guess I didn’t want to offend, since my not-so-glowing reviews in the past (of other brands) have resulted in nothing but grief.

First, I’ll tell you the things that I think are wonderful about these skins. The new Imabee Serene skins have 6 makeups total and 3 brow choices, 10 lipstick tattoo layers and cleavage option. The makeups are stunning, and the options are enough to satisfy even the pickiest skin whore shopper.

Imabee

Imabee

Imabee – Serene (Stem tone)

Imabee

Imabee -Brows – Red, Light, Dark

Imabee

Imabee – Body

Now onto the things that have prevented me from being interested in these skins. This may or may not be a problem for some shoppers, but it is for me. I think this is a bad move to make it harder for shoppers to view your skin in its entirety. Please stamp a demo somewhere on the body, but don’t punish your potential customers this way.

Imabee

Imabee

Imabee – Serene (Apical, Petal, Stem tone)

Also, this is one of the downsides of social networking… Imabee creator, Brebndon Papp is on my Plurk timeline. Whenever I have seen previews of this skin in the past, I’ve always thought the tone was so goth (pale) looking.  I guess I’m not a fan of tones that are not fleshy. I think that Stem is perfect, but in the past all the previews I’ve seen were in Apical or Petal tone. I didn’t love it at first sight.. it didn’t inspire me to demo them.

Well, that’s my review. I hope I haven’t offended anyone and I really think this brand has potential if some improvements are made.

Little Tasta

Alirium is a gorgeous place, it was worth the dozens of crashes I suffered to snap this photograph. I really wanted to have shadows enabled for this picture but SL was just not cooperating with me.

I saw this gorgeous Jungle Blossoms outfit from Little Tasta on Elle’s blog and I really wanted it for myself. This may be geared towards Gorean fashion but I think that anyone can wear this, for all types of outdoorsy looks… Um.. Cute jungle girl? Island style? Natural and environmentally friendly bikini? There’s so much potential here. I tried on a few other outfits from Litte Tasta and I really dig this shop.

I was pleasantly surprised to see Insolence release a new lingerie set, after being inactive for quite some time. This Elsa Green Liberty has a delicate floral pattern and the set includes the bra, garters, panties, and stockings in four colors.

I am thrilled to see even more floral patterns from Zaara. This newly released Sumana lingerie set (in Blush) includes the brazier, belt, suspenders, and sheer hoisery.

These two sets of lingerie are so sexy, I’m happy to add them to my expanding collection of lingerie sets.

I’m photographing inside the new MudHoney Hideaway home. This two room home is adorable and has a loft area, just perfect for a cozy hideaway.
