This is the newly released Irene skin from Imagen, and it comes with a light dusting of lovely freckles and tons of makeups ranging from sweet and natural to bright and eye-catching. I am wearing the Irene (Este tone) in Natural Rose makeup and it goes perfectly with red hair.
Tp to Imagen to try on Irene.
Leezu has just released the Noell Sculpted Dress and it's fantastic. A friend showed me Leezu's tutorial website, where she shows you how to make the Noelle top texture. I tried to follow it, but got lost after a couple of steps (my own fault since I can barely navigate PS). But I'm glad I didn't have to make this dress myself, it's so gorgeous and includes a big poofy sculpted skirt and matching flower hat.
Shown here is the Leezu Noell Sculpted Dress in Champagne and Violet. This dress can be worn as a wedding dress or an evening dress. The hat is a great touch, I really wish more designers did this, or some type of matching hair accessory.
Here's an older release, the Leezu Ginko Flexi Dress in Orchid. Leezu's designs are fun & original, and I totally have a soft spot for big poofy gowns. This dress comes with a hair flower & 3 different types of skirts.
Tp to Leezu @ To The Nines

Didn’t I warn that Bakes On Mesh was coming? I did. I said this was going to force mesh head makers to revert their UV maps back to standard SLUV, too, because everyone is going to start using standard skins more and more now. If you are a mesh head developer and your heads don’t adhere to standard SLUV, get on it. You will lose money eventually because customers are going to want to wear whatever skin they want with whatever head they buy.
Bakes on Mesh (yes, plural, according to this SL wiki page) is a new feature in Second Life that automatically “bakes” your standard skins and tattoo layers to your mesh bodies and heads. Whenever you switch skins or wear different layers of tattoos on your body, your mesh will automatically update your look without you having to do anything.
Over time, there will be less and less dependency on applier routers like Omega, because now Second Life’s system is the applier. However, you’ll want to check with your mesh body maker to be sure their body is BoM ready. If it isn’t, they should be updating soon.
Only certain SL clients can render Bakes On Mesh, too. If you want to be absolutely sure you can see the new feature, head over here to download the official Second Life client.

Last year I did a quick "how to emote in Second Life" tutorial, and I still see a lot of people searching for that entry so I thought I would mention it again today.
It's been several years since I've joined SL and we still don't have new facial expressions, what's up with that? Why can't we have emotions that DO NOT SUCK. For example, I just want to smile or frown while having my avatar's eyes relaxed and not exaggerated into ugly expressions. Is that too much to ask for?
How to emote:
1. Press CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+D, to bring up the Advanced client menu
2. Go to Advanced -> Character -> Slow Motion Animations and click to enable it
(Slow
Motion Animations is a feature that slows down animations on your
client only, so others will not see this but it is useful when trying
to capture dances, emotes, poses, etc.)
*note: Don't forget to
uncheck Slow Motion Animations once you're done using it, otherwise
animations will look too slow on your client.)
3. Play with the random expressions on the Emoter and snap away!!
My favorite emoters are built into the Mysti-Tool HUD by Mystical Cookie.
These are fun to play with but I still think there should be a way for residents to make our own or at least have more control over the facial expressions.
I’ve been blogging lots of events recently, so I thought I would take a break from those for a bit and show you guys some adorable new pieces from Mon Tissu.
Check out this Crossroads Maxi Dress from Mon Tissu. It comes with a flexi skirt, and a sculpted skirt option. I’m normally not a fan of one big sculpted skirt prim, so I’m really glad they’ve added the flexi option too.
The sculpted skirt is so interesting, and you wear it without shoes! The instructions that came with the dress said to wear the alpha layer to remove most of the legs, and also wear it without shoes (cos you won’t have legs) and um, floating shoes is just weird.
What do you think of this??
I find the no shoes thing kind of odd, but its a pretty clever ‘fix’. This sculpted skirt probably wouldn’t be the ideal choice to wear in public though, cos if you’re not rezzing properly, people will just see a floating torso (see the 3rd pic).

I broke my own “no gacha” rule today, cos I wanted the Pink Soap flavor, but I still didn’t get it after 30 tries! I KNEW THAT WOULD HAPPEN! Well, I ended up with a bunch of cool colors, and Sasy gave me Blood flavor and Stacie gave me the Pink Soap, yay! I’m a huge True Blood fan, so I needed Blood flavor, too.
If you want some flavored beans, check out Ohmai Emporium.
