Winter is not over yet, so these sexy little Apollo18 jackets from Sweetest Goodbye are just perfect to keep the cold weather away. I’m not wearing anything underneath the jacket cos I’m admiring my cleavage in 3-D, this is why I looove sculpted tops, you can actually peer inside and cam all around. The jacket is all sculpted and includes cuffs on the glove layers — so you can pair it with ANYTHING in your inventory (jackets, shirts and undershirts), cos it does not take up a layer.
These are so sexy, visit Sweetest Goodbye to see all four of the available colors. I’m wearing Pink, Blue, and Black. Navy is not shown here, but it’s similar to the Black one.
On Sunday, I posted about the re-opening of KA Designs and mentioned a special freebie that would be available at the party only. Well, you're in luck! Kira Ahn has placed the freebie in her main store now for everyone. The theme of the party was LOST, so the free gift contains complete avatars inspired by the characters of the hit tv show: Kate (Evangeline Lilly) and Sawyer (Josh Holloway).
If you're huge fans of the show like I am, this is pretty exciting!! The Evangeline Lilly avatar package includes:
The same items are available in the Sawyer avatar package, but I'll just show you Kate since I don't dress boy avatars very well! For a party freebie, this avatar is very well done and I enjoyed fitting my shape for the skin. I thought it was at least 80% accurate… I've tried to get as close to 'Kate' as possible with my shape but the lips were hard! 😛
Tp to KA Designs Island for this freebie, I don't know how much longer it will be out.
The Avatar Welcome Pack is now available in the library and is free for all residents. To use it, copy the entire pack from the library into your inventory. I decided to challenge myself by dressing from head to toe in free items. Additionally, SeraPlus, the newly released gift pack from Seraphim, is also available. However, this gift pack is for paid residents only, meaning you need to be a Plus, Premium, or Premium Plus member to access it. I chose to mix and match items from both of these packs to create my version of Gogo Lite. Given the limitations of this mesh head and body, I think I did fairly well.
Almost immediately, I noticed that because I was using the lite Avalon head, I lack a HUD to control various features – can’t change lashes, expressions, HD makeups, etc. Furthermore, some of the shape sliders for facial adjustments are disabled. While I could edit about 90% of the features, one slider I really wanted to use, the chin depth slider, was unfortunately unavailable.
UPDATE: You can edit the chin slider and all of the sliders if you wear ANY BODY that is not Legacy Lite. I was able to edit the Avalon Lite head when I’m wearing the Maitreya LaraX body.
This is my first time wearing Legacy, so I can’t provide an informed opinion about it. Since it was free, I took the opportunity. However, I spent quite some time searching for a long sleeve alpha to cover my elbows, which were poking through the top; this was not included in Riot’s package. I assume the SeraPlus gift is aimed at residents with the full Legacy body, but if you search for it, you can likely find a free alpha to hide the arms. I also added a random shorts alpha to maintain modesty, as there were instances where private areas peeked through in various poses.
As for the Avatar Welcome Pack, while they stated that HUDs were omitted to simplify things for new residents, I believe HUDs are crucial for learning. It would have been beneficial to include at least some HUDs or controls. Though I find the free body and head adequate, the inability to hide certain body parts is a significant limitation. To top it off, I noticed I don’t have any fingernails, and the nails on the body skin I’m wearing is a hot mess on the Legacy lite body.
Overall, whether you’re a new resident or an experienced player looking spruce up your avatar, the Avatar Welcome Pack provides lots of items to get you started. If you prefer not to spend any money at all, I recommend checking out FabFree for all the latest freebie offerings.
A couple of days ago I was hanging around at La Reve spying on a dancing couple. The girl was wearing this beautiful hair so I inspected it and ran to Analog Dog to get some! Inspect is an awesometastic feature!
How to inspect?
Right click on any attachment, the pie menu comes up –> Click More -> More -> Inspect
This allows you to see creator name and item name, without having to ask people where their hair/shoes/skirt comes from.
Anyways.. onto the hair! This is the Milli style from Analog dog. I bought the Milli light pack which includes FIVE different shades of blonde!!!! Sepia, Platinum, Fall, Blonde, and Bleached. I’m wearing Sepia in these photos, and I think the texturing is beeeeeeeeeautiful!!
Hello from The Trace! Today I finally changed my outfit and decided to go see this lovely sim that I saw featured on Ziki’s blog. I haven’t felt too inspired lately, cos I don’t like scary things. I’m trying my best to enjoy the rest of autumn in SL without spiders, gore, death, etc. If you’re into that stuff, there are lots of events now with items in that genre, but ME? I WANT A NICE AUTUMN!
Do you know of any more autumn sims in SL that are not scary? Let me know in the comments!

I love the new Eala Dress from Schadenfreude. I knew I wanted to make a Western inspired outfit, so I could wear it with the My Western Boots and My Western Hat from Monso. This Western inspired outfit also gave me a chance to play with the HIShorse pose prop from HISpose. This mesh horse is scripted with 6 poses (sitting & standing) and is texture/color changeable.
Aren’t these boots amazing? They’re mesh, and includes a HUD to change texture on all the components.

Re: your Article on the new Gwen skin from Dutch touch – What is the name and maker of the shape you are wearing and also the eyes please. Thank you in advance.
wow – they look so real, if you wore a realistic skin and hair, it would be impossible to tell they’re second life and not first :O
