I grew up in Manhattan, spent most of my working life there, and still go in relatively frequently, so it’s rather strange to have my alter-ego doing what I often do, in a neighborhood — on an actual corner! — where I’ve done it (though the streets are always much much more crowded lol)! I do have to admit, however, that I doubt I’ve ever looked quite so stylish in RL as I do here in SL in this amazing 2-piece black dress with sheer black lace at the wrists and in a long widening slit down the leg with matching heels. Sighs… oh to have body sliders in real life… 😉

And wow, things are certainly burning bright for me at the moment! I’m thrilled to announce another new sponsor, 7 Deadly s[K]ins, my favorite skin-maker! I’m so busy and so blessed with all the wonderful things I have to blog, I absolutely love it!!! I just really hope that I do all of these wonderful items justice, and that the designers feel that all their hard work is shown to advantage.  I do recognize that some efforts accomplish their goal better than others, but I never stop trying to do my best, no matter how long, and how many shots it takes (and you’d be amazed how many images go right in the garbage lol). That said, it really is just so much fun to mix n’ match items from my different sponsors — plus things I’ve seen at events or favorites from my personal inventory — to create incredible new looks and/or scenes.  And, in case you haven’t noticed, another change to how I do my posts: everything I’m specifically blogging for the first time is in bold type at the top of the post.  I think it just makes it easier for all (including me). 🙂

• Top: MOZ Designs –  Peasant Corset, sized for Tonic, Freya, Isis, eBody, Maitreya, Slink Original & Hourglass.  This Peasant Leather Corset comes in single packs with a white cotton/linen tucked blouse, and is one of those styles that works with just about anything, a peasant skirt, jeans, slacks, or leather pants like me! The fatpack includes six different blouse textures with a HUD for the top section (white/pink paisley/checked), corset color (red/black/tan), & lace color (red/black/tan) so you can mix and match the leather ties or leather corset.
• Skin:  7 Deadly s[K]ins – Jacklyn, worn in Butter, browless; Omega based on Genus head in light and dark skin tones, and the available shape (note that I’m wearing one of the light tones on a LAQ head and I think it looks truly AMAZING!), exclusively available at the Sense Event until November 8th

I’ve said it before, and I’m sure I’ll say it again, but the creativity that abounds in Second Life constantly amazes me. I’m fortunate enough to now be blogging for a designer who likes to create some very, VERY original things. When I first unpacked this hat and put it on, I was just mezmerized… yes, it’s a witch’s hat, but one so different and so unique, with the face, and gaping mouth, and little nymph who was obviously swallowed and captured (you can see her move around a bit, and glow stronger), and emits green particles that are (and this is EXTREMELY important to me) NOT annoying.  It’s amazing to wear, but did take a little thinking to play it off perfectly. Tonic’s new group gift, Creepy Hands — especially paired with the extra-long pointy Bento nails — really took it to the max I thought. I had the green skin and costume already, and voila! Spellbinding!!! 😉

Yup, at this time of year, To Trick or To Treat, that is definitely the question.  And every time you dress, it’s throwing on just a little something extra that’s in the spirit of the season (if not dressing entirely Halloween-style, at least in SL).  This time, a little winged and horned headband adds that sense of Halloween to an otherwise totally sensible and oh-so-wearable two-piece outfit with such lovely little details — not just the subtly striped texture of the white shirt or the plaid of the skirt or the optional contrasting tone of the sash, but the way the fabric wrinkles on the lower arms and across the legs when you move. That’s what makes it look so real and natural. And the MUG! Looks totally like high quality ceramic, the heavy kind that really keeps your coffee hot. You get all 5 mugs in one set, you can see them below, and they all include a holding/drinking animation.

It’s been a whirlwind week of unpacking boxes, sorting through inventory, putting together looks, figuring out sets, scouting locations, selecting final images, writing posts, putting up blogs, and repeat, that I finally collapsed and took a day off for a whirlwind day of real life activity.  I NEVER would have thought that “this little blog” would sometimes require more work and attention than a RL home and business!!! But now that things have settled down a bit and I’m all caught up (for now at least!!!), I can finally take a moment to relax, read a little, drink a cuppa, look out at the waves, and daydream…  But not till I’ve reminded you that THERE’S ONLY ONE MORE DAY till the Rock your Rack Event ends, and this fabulous jewelry from Stone’s Works will no longer be available, so DON’T MISS OUT! You do have a bit more time to get this beautifully simple and simply beautiful two-piece set from S&B that’s on 50% discount at TheEvent for October, but why wait? It has very simple classic detail that sets off the jewelry, skin, hair, everything, and just lets you shine and look your very best, whatever your dreams may be!  😉
