So I thought I was done posting for the year until I saw this stunner of a gown at Designer Circle and received this group gift from [NANTRA}. Once I tried the gown on and saw how it looked on my Tonic curves, well, I just knew I had to do one last blog for 2018. So Happy New Year everyone!!! Have a great night, and let’s all start the new year off right!!! 😉
Gown: .:S&B:. – Elegant Black Party Gown, absolutely STUNNING gown for New Year’s Eve & for every dressy night through the year! Sized for Tonic, Belleza F/I/V, Slink H/P, Maitreya, eBody, Ocacin, TMP, & Classic. Available at the Designer Circle Dec 23rd – Jan 5th.
Hard to believe the year is drawing to a close… I don’t know about you, but I’m already feeling a bit partied out, so taking a day to rest and relax (which to me often means reading, no matter where I might be) before tomorrow night’s festivities. Of course, at this time of year, if I’m out and about I still want to look stylish, and in this AWESOME new jacket, I not only look great, I feel great too with the touch of sheepskin and suede… so warm and snuggly… Now all I need is a gingerbread latte with whipped cream… mmmmm, what a treat! 😉

Available in Freckled, Regular & Sunkissed 8-pack versions (including no brow options) EXCLUSIVELY at eBento until Dec 31st. Demos & shape also available. I’m running out of superlatives, but she’s another beauty based on omega GENUS & LAQ bento heads. See the closeup below to see her beauty!
Makeup: 7 Deadly s[K]ins – Lipgloss 03, one of the gifts on the Advent calendar! Very simple, the perfect touch of gloss with just a hint of pink.
Body:Tonic – Curvy Beauty with Booty Control added
And the holiday season continues its merry way, leading up to its final sometimes fevered pitch of New Years Eve. Although I find it tons of fun to get dressed up in SL and party, I’ll admit that at this point in my life, I’m not quite as excited about real-world parties which always seem to try too hard and end up with everyone covertly glancing at their watches and wondering when the ball will drop so they can go home. Or maybe that’s just showing my age lol! In any case, celebrating inworld is a blast, and a hat like this is a fantastic way to top it all off!!! Let’s go 2019!!! 😉
Hat: Stone’s Works – 2019 New Years Hat in Black kicks the year off in style with built in sparklers that turn on/off; the top hat style adds that finishing touch to any style, be it burlesque, formal, steampunk, funk, or just plain party fun!

Skin: 7 Deadly s[K]ins – NEW! Stormy, another stunner based on omega GENUS & LAQ bento mesh heads, this skin has some built-in highlighting under the eyebrow & shadow under the eyes, which I’ve accented with more makeup for a dressy occasion like this (see below).

The countdown to Christmas is just about over… children and adults everywhere are either panicked or joyous, excited or exhausted, or some combination of them all. And in some households (like mine), we also have birthdays to celebrate, just adding to the general hubbub and emotional overload. Happy Holidays to all, and to all a good night!!! 😉

I remember when I was a kid and I never knew what I was getting as gifts for the holidays. Sometimes my sister and I would peek into the unwrapped boxes if we’d find them, but we’d always get things wrong. Nowadays, it’s rare that I’m surprised because I’m always asked to provide the dreaded list, while the fact is, if it’s something that I REALLY want, I’ve already gone out and bought it. Frankly I’d rather just be told here’s X amount of money; go out and spend it; which, when you come to think of it, is what gift cards are all about. It’s like Santa taking you shopping lol! (though he generally doesn’t wait sullenly in the car!) 😉
Top:Graffitiwear – NEW! Jill Frost Cropped Hoodie, choose from 3 different 10-texture HUDs ( darks, lights, & prints; once again, a tough choice on what to wear!); sizes for Tonic, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Ebody, TMP, Ocacin & Classic Fitmesh. I just love how the fringes allow a glimpse of breast, without showing too much. And it all hangs so naturally!
Skirt:Graffitiwear – NEW! Jill Frost Skirt, two 10-texture HUDs (pastel or dark tones); sizes for Tonic, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Ebody, TMP, & Classic Fitmesh; snug, sexy fit without being too high or too low cut… perfect for any kind of top you might want to pair with it!
Boots:Graffitiwear – Laced Thigh High Boots, 28-texture HUD for the boot fabric + another 16 textures for the boot heel, sole & laces + 16 for the inset!; sizes for Tonic, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass & Physique. Great for strutting your stuff!
Skin: 7 Deadly s[K]ins – Manuela, another Omega mesh beauty, with a very fresh, clean look. I’m wearing her in butter browless with my signature freckles added. 7-packs of light or dark tones available DISCOUNTED to just 425L at TheEvent for December. Demo & shape also available.
Body:Tonic – Curvy Beauty w/ Booty Control added for that little extra oomph! So curvy, & so natural… really flaunting my Tonic curves in an outfit like this!!!
Well, it’s taken a while, but I’m beginning to understand why some bloggers don’t name their images and their posts, but just number their looks. Although I’ve never ever found it difficult to get started putting a look together, some days (or nights), it’s just hard to get started with something to say, let alone title an image or a blog. And then suddenly it hits you… maybe a song comes on the stream, or a stray memory triggers something, and you know what you want to say. It may not be perfect, but hey, it’s just a blog, right? The point is to show you these awesome items that I’ve found… and these really are awesome, aren’t they? And while I was trying to show them to you, I ran into HUGE issues with the new WordPress editor and trying to embed my image from FlickR. Not what I needed this morning! Now to get back to my daydreaming… 😉
Dress:Modern Nostalgia – Netata (POE Hunt Gift!), now this incredibly sexy little winter dress is one I’d pay for if it wasn’t FREE! I just LOVE the little armbands & the way it totally hugs my curves… great knit texture, incredibly short in the back without being indecent (trust me on that one lol). Sized for Tonic, Belleza F/I/V, Slink H/P, Maitreya, & EbodyCurvy. Store #42, Hint: Just gonna hide in this plant and spy (For LMs & Hints to the entire Grid-Wide POE Hunt, which runs through the 31st, click HERE)
Shoes: [Sheba] Creations – Aspen Boots Fatpack, sized for Tonic, Slink, Belleza, Maitreya, eBody & Altamura; just 269L with a 40-color HUD that lets you set the main color & the trim/bow color separately for an almost unlimited combination to match every outfit! Demo available.
Body:Tonic – Curvy Beauty w/ Booty Control added for that little extra oomph! Looks amazing in a tight little knit like this!
I’ve been off tattoos for a little while now; not really sure why. But wow, this tattoo from Juna has me back in tattoo-world big-time. The gorgeous colors and the stunning image… well, let’s just say that I built this entire look around the tat… I even considered going full jungle setting to play off the lion, but felt that would have been going too far, and to be honest, I’ve never really enjoyed scouting locations dressed in my scanties lol… (you can’t see it in this pic, but the back of this outfit is quite, well, “scanty”)… Not too bad to find waiting under the tree though, is it? 😉
Outfit: [WellMade] – Pietra Outfit (dress w/ separate panties) w/ 20-color HUD; sized for Tonic, Belleza F/I/V, Slink H/Physique, Maitreya, Ebody, & Jomo Fox/Werewolf; the texture on this wonderful little number is truly alluring, especially the bodice which almost but doesn’t quite sparkle (you know me & texture)! And although I opted for a monochrome look with just a little contrast for the strings, the HUD lets you apply different colors to the bodice, the skirt, the strings, & the panties, so you can truly customize your look. At the Designer Circle Dec 9th – Dec 22nd. Demo available.
Skin:7 Deadly s[K]ins – Amorie, worn in Cashew, browless (my new favorite dark tone in winter, just absolutely perfect when I don’t want to be tan but need a bit of color!); I love the built-in shading in the eye crease that just makes Amorie stand out IMHO. Choose from packs of 7 light or dark tones for 250L each; shape & demo are also available. At the Designer Circle Dec 9th – Dec 22nd.
Tattoo:Juna – Klo Tattoo, includes three shades (dark, medium & light); you can really go wild with this one at 25% OFF at the Designer Circle Dec 9th – Dec 22nd, only 140L for this event; also available for Men
Pose: lovelysweet – Sexy Side Pose Set, includes 6 poses for bento & non-bento hands. Includes a candy cane prop (not used). Group gift at the store (group is free to join)! 50L on Marketplace.
Body:Tonic – Curvy Beauty with Booty Control added… my curves look absolutely AMAZING in this outfit

I’m still not done with all my holiday shopping, and I’ll admit I haven’t even BEGUN to start wrapping up any gifts, but I’ll admit it… I’m ready for Santa. Maybe the Grinch has just got me in his grip for a day or two, maybe it’s the birthday blues, maybe I’m just tired of all the non-stop Christmas this and Christmas that and the TRAFFIC and the CROWDS, but right now, this moment, I’ve had enough. (And yes, this happened with Halloween too; maybe it’s just because everything and everyone just goes so overboard and it’s just such constant bombardment day in and day out. I recovered at Halloween; hopefully I’ll recover now too!) So yes, I’m looking to see if Santa is coming, cuz I don’t know about you, but I’M READY!!! (At least I’m not saying “Bah Humbug!” and I’m definitely dressing — and blogging — in the Xmas spirit!) 😉
Dress:Graffitiwear – Sweater Dress, 6-texture HUD (see below for textures; really, REALLY hard to choose which to wear!); sizes for Tonic, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Ebody, TMP, & Classic Fitmesh; 50% OFF at TheEvent for December!

http://It’s been a rough few days… first, I got a cold. I hate colds! You feel miserable, but you’re not really sick enough to do anything about it BUT feel miserable. Second, although my pic is celebrating shopping success, my shopping is NOT all done; for the holidays, yes, but my family is loaded with birthdays right around the holidays as well, and I’m totally stuck on some of those. And one of those birthdays is mine, which always gets me kind of depressed, thinking of all I haven’t accomplished, how old I’m getting (and no, I’m not saying! Ceja is permanently in her mid-20s!), and the cold just makes it worse. But one thing is certain… my SL shopping is almost done, and yes, it’s just my own opinion, but I think I’m looking FABULOUS!!!! Here’s to successful shopping! 😉

Makeup: 7 Deadly s[K]ins – Lipgloss 01, one of the gifts on the Advent calendar! Very simple, the perfect touch of gloss with the very lightest tinge of color. NOTE: Here’s how the Advent Calendar works. Each day you’ll see the current day’s gift box on the tree with hover text saying “Come get your present!” Simply right click & pay 1L (you’ll get it right back). Previous gifts are shown with hover text “You’re a little late, but you can still get your gift for 99L.” New gifts open around midnight SLT each day, & are randomly put into the boxes; inside each box are male & female gifts. Remember: the advent poster is RANDOM!
Oh my, this outfit by Tonic is named so perfectly! It’s caused me so much Trouble in so many ways lol! First, I spent a ridiculous amount of time deciding which color to wear, because I kept liking each one more than the next… and then because the adorable little shrug has its color set separately, I kept debating whether to have it match the darker color of the dress or look totally separate. Don’t even get me started on the HUD for the shoes where you set the color of the main body and the bow separately! Then it looks so amazing on, well, let’s just say it garnered some attention and several IMs asking me where I’d gotten it. All the info is below, but because it IS by Tonic, it’s exclusively sized for us Tonic gals, though even if you have another mesh body, I always recommend trying things on… you never know! It may be worth the trouble! 😉
Outfit, including Shoes:Tonic – NEW! Trouble, with a 16-color HUD for both the knit shrug & the scoop neck mini; another matching HUD for the vintage peep toe pump. The fabric details on this are fabulous as always with Tonic; & the buttons on the shrug, not to mention the way it hugs & hangs & shapes all at the same time! Only in Tonic sizes (curvy & fine); even includes a thong! And this is Double Trouble, because it’s not only a brand-new EXCLUSIVE at TheEvent for December, it’s also 50% OFF!
