We <3 RP is back, and would you look at this awesome hat I’m wearing? This is what I’ve always wanted in SL. This hat is from !Go, who’s been making items for WHRP for some time. The fabric is exquisite and there’s a hat-less version for the accompanying hair, too.
More goodies: Jian’s Dryad Hideaway, and 22769’s Sacred Fountain set. Also, this lovely dress from Sweet Lies. All of these can be found at We <3 RP starting today! The event is now open until the end of the month, so go shop to your heart’s content and nab these items while they’re still discounted!
My days have been extremely peaceful and I’m looking forward to the weekend. I hope you are, too! Have good one!

Mayfly just released these gorgeous new Seafoam eyes, and I’m in love! They look a lot like my custom eyes from Aphotic Gloom – a perfect mix of greens with yellow flecks.

Tuli has just released the new Sara skins and in my opinion, these are my the best Tuli skins to date. I love the skin tones and textures now, and the options available are amazing.
Sara comes in two series of skin tones, according to the release notecard, these new tones – Pearl, Powder, Petal and Peach have “enhanced Pink hues” and they look amazing. I love skin tones with Pinker hues, they work better on Blondes and lighter hair colors.
Each skin tone includes: 6 Skins (with different eye-makeup)
4 Different Brows color: Light Blonde (on tattoo) | Dark Blonde (on tattoo) | Medium Brown (on tattoo) | and Dark brows (on the skin)
And 12 lipstick tattoos!! Pretty much everything natural lipstick color option is covered here. I would love to see some more “fantasy” colors too.
My only “issue” with this skin is the highlights are a bit too strong. I’m wearing this in Powder tone, and I thought they were too shiny on the legs, but overall the body is nice.
Annnnnnd, last but not least! Elikatira released 3 new hairstyles. I’m wearing them all in this post:
I have a slight obsession with Genie bottles and genie outfits in SL. When Trompe Loeil released the mesh Dreamy Genie Bottle Skybox, I had to have it! The bottle is scripted with tons of poses for singles & couples, but I only tried out the single poses. Most of the sitting poses were slightly animated and too fidgety for my liking, so I’ll probably rez my own sit pillows. The interior & exterior texture is beautifully done, and such and upgrade from my old genie bottle.
I am wearing the Davenport Blouse & P*ssy Pusher Pants from The Sea Hole. I really like the colors and style of this outfit, even if the textures are a bit too photo-sourced. I’ve noticed that a lot of The Sea Hole mesh clothes have a mesh glitch that interferes with hair alpha. Sasy explains more about the Mesh and Alpha Issues here, you should read it, it’s informative.
I missed the LeLutka Ultra fashion show yesterday, but I heard it was fantastic. These are some of the outfits featured in the show. I’m a huge fan of the more casual outfits, but I’m not sure I like the single prim sculpted long gown. I like my gowns to have movement, but that’s not possible yet since we don’t have flexible sculpts.
If you went to the LeLutka show, what were your favorite outfits? Would you wear these outfits out of the box or mix-and-match?
Do you know about Void lashes? I’ve seen this brand gain popularity and support from various creators, so I decided to find out what it’s all about. I absolutely love the default LeLutka lashes that are attached to the mesh head, so I never felt the need for a third-party add-on. However, I woke up yesterday and decided to delve into Void lashes.
Void is created by a resident named Pure Void. Their marketplace store showcases a selection of lashes that are rigged for various popular mesh heads. I decided to get a demo of the popular Void Demure Lashes, and to do so, I had to teleport to the store. To access the store in-world, you must accept the land experience. At first, I was annoyed by this, but once I visited the store and experienced the region design and animation sequence, I was thoroughly impressed. It adds so much to the shopping experience, making you feel as though you’re stepping into the introduction of an anime movie.
I chose the Void Demure lashes because I wanted to wear them with Mila’s Obscura Eyelashes. This motivated me to learn more about Void lashes, because I love all of Mila’s lashes and wanted to wear these as well. Although the Void lashes are pricey at L$1,499, they come with a customization HUD and are rigged for numerous mesh heads. Upon opening the EvoX package, I found a version for each of LeLutka’s heads, including the latest, Camila. This indicates that Void continually provides updates, making it a worthwhile investment.
The lashes allow you to wear the top, mid, and bottom lashes or turn them off entirely. I have only seen people wear these lashes with all three options, and they often appeared somewhat droopy and busy to me. I was very glad to discover that I could turn off the mid lashes! Additionally, there’s a HUD for customizing the gems and toggling the alpha settings between blend and mask. I highly recommend using blend mode because when you set it to alpha mask mode, it can look like chunky spider legs on your face. While some may appreciate that aesthetic, it simply does not resonate with me.
Blend vs Alpha Mask mode
Overall, I believe the reason that residents are choosing to wear Void lashes is that they offer a different look compared to the lashes included with their head of choice. They can also be longer, more intense, and come in various shapes. Personally, I felt that the Void lashes gave my eyes a hint of droopiness, yet they also appear quite dramatic.
If you’re looking for something different, check out Void lashes! Even if you’re not, the store is worth a visit; it provides the best land experience I have encountered in Second Life.
