    I’m on a boat… bar

    I'm on a boat… bar

    I went to my friend Britnee’s houseboat to set up the Brighton Boat Bar set from Cheeky Pea. You can rez it on land or on water, but I think it’s super cute on water! There’s enough seating for at least six of your friends!

    My outfit today is the Bomia look outfit from M.Birdie. Don’t ask me how many times I had to play this gacha to get an outfit that color coordinates. TOO MANY. I now have several complete outfits, lol.

    Now that I have assigned caregivers for my baby, it’s time to lounge in this gorgeous new release from The Secret Store. I’m wearing the Fawn Bodysuit & Cleo Lacey Vest, both available at Collabor88. I found the perfect wavy hair to go with this chill boho look, it’s the Avalon style from Exile.

    FaMESHed 7th Anniversary

    FaMESHed

    I went to FaMESHed not knowing that its the 7th anniversary celebration, so it was truly a surprise to see gifts from most of the brands! I love when brands give out nice gifts, so I’ve included some of them into my outfit today.

    FaMESHed

    I am wearing the new Hayley hairstyle from Exile (@ Soiree), Aurora Top from Teefy (@ FaMESHed), Nicole Ruffles Skirt from Teefy, and accessorizing this outfit with ALL free gift items from FaMESHed! See my credits at the end of this post for details.

    Another surprise is Mon Tissu relaunching their brand after a 5 year hiatus, with a small collection of clothing and accessories. The brand also added Apple Fall as a third designer, so it’ll be interesting to see how these three designers collaborate.

    FaMESHed

    I opened a bunch of the free gifts at FaMESHed to show you that there’s some cute stuff, so be sure to visit before the event ends. Pictured: CONVAIR (MC Chair Brown-Gray), West Village (by Apple Fall; Aspidistra in Wicker Planter & Plaster Horse), unKindness (Summer Gift Art Set), Heart Garden (Summer Hanging Basket). There’s so many other home decor things not pictured here. Opening dozens of boxes can be chaotic, but I opened EVERY single gift box I grabbed and deleted anything I didn’t want, just to keep my inventory from being crazy.

    FaMESHed

    Free clothing & accessories gifts: Masoom (Sheryl Dress), Breathe (So Feng Heels), Dead Dollz (Hush Lingerie Set), BONDI (The Traveler Hat), Belle Epoque (Africa Bag), Ayashi (Jessie Hair), Elikatira (Misha hair), Neve (FaMESHed gift dress), Sarafina (Blume Earring)

    What I’m Wearing:

    • Exile – Hayley hair @ Soiree
    • Pink Fuel – Kiera (Biscuit) for LeLutka
    • Sarafina – Blume Earrings (Silver) Gift @ FaMESHed
    • Belle Epoque – Africa Bag Gift @ FaMESHed

    New Face; GENUS Project | Pink Fuel

    New Face

    Mesh heads are probably the most expensive thing you can buy your avatar in SL; most of them cost over $5,000L. I don’t change my head often due to price (plus having to buy all new add-ons and skins), and the learning curve. All of the heads require a different shape and figuring out how the HUD works.

    New Face
    Pink Fuel – Delina Skin for GENUS Project (out soon at The Epiphany)

    As you know, I have worn the LeLutka mesh heads almost exclusively since they came out. I saw Kavar using Genus Project heads a lot in his recent ads, and it looks amazing!!! Things I like about Genus Project: easy to modify shape, lots of skins available, options on HUD to adjust makeup opacity and colors, and I like how it looks on me. Things I don’t like: the HUD is confusing, there are two separate HUDs for settings and animations, animations are ugly (ugly is subjective, so I’ll say it’s not as great as LeLutka), no built-in eye control, no easy way to clear all makeups, no way to save looks unless I am missing it.

    It would be more fun to change mesh heads if the price of obtaining a mesh head wasn’t so expensive! I didn’t think that Classic and Baby are all that much different, so I wish there were some type of discount like… buy one head, get additional ones for half price.

    The Genus Project mesh head costs $5,500L. Kavar gifted me the Classic face, which I love! Then I found out that all of the skins made are for Baby! For the sake of wearing this Delina skin made by Pink Fuel, I also bought the Baby face. The skins made for Baby and Classic are not interchangeable. I found that the eyes and lips area don’t fit if the skin is not made for that particular head. So when you’re demoing skins, take note which head it is made for…. otherwise you’ll end up with lots of frustrations when modifying a shape for it.

    Overall, I do recommend the Genus Project mesh heads. Change is refreshing. Change is fun. If Genus Project keeps improving their HUD and scripting, they will become one of my favorites, and perhaps yours too?

    New Face

    What I’m Wearing:
    Genus Project – Baby Face
    Pink Fuel – Delina (Fawn)
    Exile – Tara
    Teefy – Lia Dress (Gingham)

    Good Night

    Good night

    Do you ever feel like being a way from the grid for a month is equivalent to being away for a year? I seem to have missed so much that an entirely brand new (to me) mesh head is now so popular that all of my friends are wearing it.

    Calm

    I saw this ad from Kavar and immediately fell in love with all 3 of his avatars! The girls are wearing Genus heads, which is entirely new to me! I’ve heard of the name and knew that they are Genesis part II of some sort… but I haven’t ever demo’d a Genus mesh head. Until this week….

    Kavar did give me some great recommendations on skins and some tips about Genus that will help me if I do make the switch. Should I make the switch? Do you wear a Genus head? Let me know in the comments!

    What I’m Wearing:

    Exile – Alessa
    Tee*fy – Belle bodysuit (Bloom), Belle Bra (Sweet)
    Pink Fuel – Kiera (LeLutka Head Applier) Biscuit

    Emiri

    Emiri

    I don’t always play skin gachas, but I’m thrilled that Pink Fuel’s skin is for Lelutka! I’m wearing the new Emiri skin from Pink Fuel, available at The Epiphany. Available in 3 skin tones – Crystal, Latte, and Peach, so I guess only the most popular tones are available, to keep things simple. I’m wearing Peach here. This skin seems younger than Kiera, so if you’re looking for a more doll skin from PF, this is the perfect skin. Only $75L/per play, it’s an inexpensive way to try out a new skin!

    Gum Gum Boom

    Gum Gum Boom

    Do you like fun animations? The new animations add-on for LeLutka mesh heads are amazing! I’m a huge fan of cute things, and chewing gum just seems adorable, even more so virtually. LeLutka released Gum Gum Boom and Delights Cream. These animations are for gum chewing and eating ice cream, but I suppose they can be used for some adult things too… use your imagination. Watch the official video, it’s definitely sexy.

    Gum Gum Boom

    I am dressed head to toe in donuts! I love sweet prints, and it doesn’t get any sweeter than the donuts print on my shoes and top.

    What I’m Wearing:

    Exile – Luster
    The Secret Store – Leigh Ruffle Top, Fannie Capri Pants
    Ingenue – Delish Heels (Prints)
    LeLutka – Gum Gum Boom

    Pink Fuel Anja Skin

    Pink Fuel

    I needed something exciting to happen on the grid, and Pink Fuel delivered with the gorgeous new Anja Skin! This skin is a delightful and unexpected surprise from Pink Fuel, since Mochi doesn’t create a lot of LeLutka appliers. With this new skin, I also changed my skin tone to Biscuit, instead of my beloved Peach tone. Biscuit is one shade lighter, but still rosy and sun-kissed.

    Pink Fuel

    This skin is available at LookBook (for $1,350L) and includes skin & makeup options to truly customize your look! Have you noticed a trend with SL “events” moving to a HUD-based system, instead of in-world shopping? I love this! I like new things, but I don’t like waiting for things to rez or struggling to enter crowded sims. Unless the sim truly provides something awesome to explore, most of them are just vendors on a wall. I think they all look the same, so this is a more preferable way to acquire new goods. What are your thoughts on HUD-based events?

    Pink Fuel

    What I’m Wearing:

    Pink Fuel -Anja Skin for LeLutka (Biscuit)
    Exile – Flowers in the Sun
    Ricielli – Luisa Pants, Top
    Ingenue – Delish Heels (Prints)
