These new SLink Marina Boots are FABULOUS. I needed something tall, shiny, and mmm sexy spikey heels to stomp around the grid. I’m wearing Pink, Black, and White, but there’s also Bisque, Red, and Ivory.
These boots practically goes with everything with a slightly shiny texture, but I’m pairing it with my beloved latex outfits from Hugo Designs! Latex, it’s not just for bitchy dominatrixes! You can pull off a pretty cute look in Pink 😛

Got photobombed! I didn’t notice that guy in the window, and I really can’t crop him out, so I’ve decided to just cover him up with gorgeous bokeh! Can you spot him?
Teefy has a gorgeous collection of Lenka Bralet tops and Laurie Low Waist Hi-Low skirts out at Summerfest! This top includes so many options — with or without straps, with or without fringe. I usually think Teefy items are flawless, but I thought the rigging for the top was a bit difficult to wear. In certain poses, the without fringe version, especially, just sank into my torso. If you’re not too picky about rigging, the top makes a lovely addition to your SL wardrobe.
Check out my new hair! It’s from DeLa. I’m not a huge fan of the hair textures, but I think this sweet Carly hairstyle with bangs was too cute to pass up.
What I’m Wearing:
Pink Fuel – Harley (Peach)
DeLa – Carly (Dark Brown 2)
Teefy – Lenka Bralet (Blue Tropical) XS
Teefy – Laurie Low Waist Hi-Low Skirt (Mint) S
Belgravia – Paradise Sandals (Silver)
SLink – Womens Medium Height Barefeet (Rigged S)
SLink – Mesh Hands (av)
LaGyo – Aiko Necklace
matte – tie-dye (SAE-nails)
SLink – De Jolies Mains hands v1.1 | Flex | Straight | Curl
Siddean updated her hands cos you guys were overwhelmingly vocal about what you liked and mostly what you didn’t like! Head over to the SLink blog to read all about the updates!
Personally I felt that the texture on the hands before were already nice, but she made it “less realistic” for people who complained that they were too realistic! Uh.. who are you people?! I miss the old textures but I like the newer smaller size.
The new prim patch really helps with making the hand/wrist joint more seamless but it’s still no easy task to match the skin tone perfectly. I played around with this a lot, but NO PS’ing here either.

I’ve been waiting so patiently all week for the new Nellie skin from Laqroki. This skin is even more beautiful than the teaser image posted on Mallory’s Flickr. I thought I would wear the skin as a Brunette or Blonde, but when I tried on this luscious red (Fall) shade from Exile, I had to wear it for my review post.
This skin has 10 makeups and hair base. I’m wearing the Nellie in Fair tone:
I wore Laqroki brows tattoo on my previous Laqroki skins reviews, but I am just wearing the skin here. I love the brows on these, they’re well-balanced and perfect for this face.
Here’s a larger view of the face! I never edit my skin pics, so everything you see here are snapshots taken straight from SL.

Nikita Fride – Bloom n Butterfly | Jungle King | Fashion Up Hair w/ Windblown w/ Glitter
A lot of readers have suggested that I should cover new brands instead of my usual favorites…. so here you go 🙂
I stumbled upon Nikita Fride last week and discovered a really huge shop with a large collection of hairstyles. I noticed right away that some of the styles and textures were “not me” but that’s exactly what I wanted. I think I tried on all of the hairstyles, but settled on a few that were cute and has cute hair accessories. I normally try to steer clear of animated hair, but it totally worked with some of the hairstyles at Nikita Fride.
For example, the Fashion Up Hair w/ Windblown w/ Glitter (how could you not love hair with windblow and glitter?!) has some animations on the flexi hair strands to mimic a windblown look, and I think it totally works for.. mermaid hair?
My friends have mixed reactions to this hair — some people liked it, some people thought it was weird/awful/bad/shockingly bad and weird.. but eh, you guys wanted DIFFERENT, right?
I don’t think this is bad hair, really! I would never blog something I didn’t like or wouldn’t spend my own money on. 🙂
Visit Nikita Fride
*Note: These hairstyles are no modify but includes a resize script. Each hair includes two version — full bright and not full bright, but some of the styles included not full bright hair that had full bright hair accessories. I sent Nikita Fride a notecard requesting a completely no-bright version of the hairstyles purchased, and she promptly fixed that and sent me new versions. Now that’s what I call awesome customer service!

The start of a new 8f8 sushi collection, thanks to Azure!
I own enough pixel food to satisfy my avatar. I love this sushi set! I can resist the temptation of collecting sets with too many items, but this set is perfectly doable.
I’ve admired 8f8 from afar, cos a part of me loathes gacha. AIN’T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT! My desire for something is less than my how much effort I will need to put into acquiring it. This is my very first 8f8 collection, the start of a dangerous, but delicious path.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
Linden Lab announced a few days ago that Mesh is coming to Second Life this Summer. I’m pretty excited about this, even though I know nothing about Mesh or how much it will change SL as we know it.
My friend Yabusaka Loon sent me a Full-Body Mesh Female avatar to try on the Aditi (Beta Grid). In order to test any mesh items on the beta grid, you have to pull up the World Map and search for “Mesh” and teleport to any of the Mesh sims.
I immediately ran to a Mesh sim to try on this avatar and whoa! It’s pretty incredible looking. At first glance, this is similar to the SL avatar we have now, but upon closer look, the hands and feet are much nicer.
Yabusaka’s Mesh av comes with a HUD to change 3 different facial expressions, and 3 different hand poses (Left and Right hand can be different).
What I noticed about this particular Mesh Av, is that it can use a lot of items I have in my inventory already. I can use texture eyes, prim hair, poses, and even some accessories. I am wearing Mesh lashes in the photos above , but I can probably wear my regular prim lashes too.
Yabu has more info about the Mesh Avatar on this website.
You can even create a whole new face, using the Yabusaka Mesh Head Generator, as I have done above. All pics in this post are used wearing the ‘default’ shape, but I love round faces with full lips, so I tried to create that with the sliders on the website. If I ever get a copy of the Mesh Gogo face, I’ll show you guys! 😀
I am kind of sad we can’t just go into Appearance Mod and modify our faces though; with Mesh, it doesn’t work that way 🙁
If any skin creator wants to give these Mesh Av a try, please contact Yabusaka Loon in-world!
It’s too early to tell if these mesh avatars will be embraced or rejected by SL residents. I am hopeful that it will be just another fun thing for SL residents to play with, and I look forward to what some of my favorite creators will release. SQUEEE!!
/Update – June 6th, 2011/
Yabusaka has added a range of Pink Fuel skins to the Mesh Head Generator!
Mochi is so awesome for letting Yabu use her skins <3 I think that a great skin makes a HUGE difference, as you can see in the above image, the face is instantly more realistic and lovelier.
hi Bech, the outfits are old; but it’s still pretty good. I don’t really keep up to date with Latex stuffs, so if there’s nicer stuff than these, let me know! 🙂
I wore it cos the colors matched the boots.
Oh, I just got reminded of my own pink/black Hugo Design latex suit.. But aren’t those old? (white/pink on your photos) Or it just feels like it, heh.
I love the beigey coloured boots off to the right & hope to get some. Have you seen latex clothing that comes in this particular shade?
I actually don’t think there’s so many latex outfits that are better than those. At least many look way too eh, latex or just too tacky but those are perfect :}
I figured I would return to see if anyone has replied. I see that Slink has some latexy-looking clothing. Have any of you tried them yet?
I wore these heels and the black latex for my boy friend The next day I was pregnant
