Losing Real Money at Second Life’s Fake Casino

I have the worst luck in SL when it comes to buying items right before they go on sale! Grrrr! This weekend I picked up the R.icielli PETRA minidress (#9) and paid $285L for it, then R.cielli announced a sale shortly afterwards marking down everything that’s Red for $20L (sale ends December 7th)! Had I waited just one more day, I would have scored this dress for cheaper, cos it doesn’t really matter to me which color it is — all of them are nice. I went back and picked up the Red (#11) too, so this is a great opportunity for someone who doesn’t have this dress already to pick it up ultra cheap.

This dress fits me with minimal modding (just a little bit of stretching) and it works well with most poses, but the skirt portion is still just one big sculpted piece, so when you move, your leg will show through somewhat.

I am loving the new Gos Slouch Boots — see the little G? (for Gos… or Gogo :D)

What I’m Wearing:

Exile – Nyx (Hotstreak)
LeLutka – Natasha (Hush) Makeup3
R.icielli – PETRA minidress #9
Donna Flora – AMALIA necklace
Maitreya – Moxie Over-Knee socks Mocha (part of shoes)
Gos – Slouch Boots (Brown)

Clawtooth recently had a 25% off sale on all mesh hairstyles, but I wasn’t able to blog it in time! Sorry guys! The sale is over now, but you can still get all the hairstyles at regular price. When Clawtooth first launched, I thought the prims were too chunky, and the textures were a bit streaky. Over the past year, the new mesh hairstyles have really grown on me, and there’s definitely an improvement overall. I still like the Dark Browns colors better, so I wear it more often than Blondes, but I’m still waiting for a really nice light Blonde texture from here.

This adorable outfit I’m wearing is the Freedom Moose March outfit from Silk Worms. I’m wearing everything that comes with the outfit minus the arm bands, and matching boots. I’ve decided to pair this with the new Equestrian Boots from Gos, to give it a more Western look, and less Gorean.

What I’m Wearing:

Pink Fuel – Kumi (Peach) Pure (bwnbrow/crease)
Pink Fuel – Lip Glaze (Salisa)
Clawtooth – Please and thanks (Girl Next Door)
Silk Worms – Freedom Moose March
Gos – Equestrian Boots

Colabora88 starts today! It’s a low price sales event that happens monthly, with a new cycle starting on the 8th of every month. There doesn’t seem to be any “theme” to the items, except all the prices will somehow end in 8, like 88, or 188, etc.

Truth has a new hairstyle out and also *roots* hair texture (I’m not wearing it here) but it’s an exciting addition!

Let’s talk about this new Koketka mini dress. While I love the design, and the lace on one side (so sexy!), I think the dress itself is far too short. My cheeks show (and not in a sexy way) and the front…. let’s just say if you cam at certain angles, crotch-shots happens. If this dress was a tad longer, it would be perfect.

What I’m Wearing:

Pink Fuel – Elly (Honey) Pure (dkbrow)
Pink Fuel – Elly (Honey) Juicy Gloss (Natural)
Truth – Gabriel (Espresso)
Koketka – Nina Minidress (Blue)
Maitreya Gold – Moxie Summer Edition
R.icielli – Iris Skull Headpiece/Graff blackgems
