Part Deux

Posted on by cejalaval

http://Easy Rider, part Deuxhttp://Abbi, part Deux

Sometimes as good as you think Part One is, you need (or want) a remake.  Maybe it’s just a tweak here and there; or maybe it’s a complete do-over. Whichever end of the spectrum it is, or wherever it may fall inbetween, one of the many beauties of Second Life is that you always have the ability to easily remake yourself and your surroundings, or even your entire life.  As a blogger, I’m constantly changing my hair and my skin; I have two bodies and multiple heads (wow, sounds monstrous in a sentence lol). But generally speaking, once my shape is set for a head or a body, that’s it… a tiny tweak here or there, but an overhaul? Never… until now.  Admittedly my Abbi head was very new… I had just fallen in love with her and gotten her where I wanted her when I was swept off my feet by the next Tonic head… but now that I went back, I found that I wasn’t quite as happy as I had thought lol. So here she is, Abbi Part Deux… I’m re-smitten, ready to take on the world!  Maybe by motorcycle???  Who knows… anything is possible!  😉

  • Outfit:  S&B Fashion – Flirty Cowl Top w/ Jeans, includes the high heels too!  The jeans are skinny & cuffed, but what makes this outfit is the top… it just so different! The front is high & then the bottom kind of loops around to the back, up to a tie, leaving the sides & back open (I tried to show it in the picture since it’s so hard to describe)… so sexy without being too overt.  Sized for Tonic (top only), Belleza F/I/V, Slink H/P, Maitreya, TMP, & Classic. EXCLUSIVE available at the Designer Circle 06/19 March 17th – 30th.
  • Head: Tonic – Abbi is one of two new bento heads that Tonic has recently introduced. I just went back to Abbi & created a whole new shape for her, so I’m deep in the midst of an identity crisis lol! But I’m just loving this look… to me, she’s not what I consider a classic beauty.  If I had to put it into words, I’d say she’s more striking than beautiful, with a very unique & individual appearance, & I really REALLY like that in a world full of beautiful people.
  • Skin:  7 Deadly s[K]ins – Rory, worn in Cashew Browless, does I’m sure, have something to do with how much I’m loving Abbi right now.  I’m wearing Rory Browless TOTALLY CLEAN,  straight out of the box except for adding freckles (shown below) & my own brows, because I just feel naked without them lol.  Rory is the new EXCLUSIVE available at the Sense Event, March 15th – April 8th; fatpack, demos & shape are all available.  To see a range of browless skin tones AS IS (not even with my freckles!!!), see below.
  • Body: Tonic – Curvy Beauty + Booty Control
  • Hair:  Navy & Copper – Sundae
  • Brows:  DS’Elles – EyeBrow Series 8
  • Freckles:  Izzie’s – Freckles & Heart Mole (Omega); DS’Elles – Freckle Body (Belleza, Slink, Maitreya, Omega)
  • Eyes:  Avi-Glam (Marketplace Only) – Luminous Eyes, in Ivy
  • Jewelry:  EarthStones – Sentiments Necklace, Loved; Kunglers – Milena Earrings, Quartz; Chop Zuey – Bel Aire Gold Women’s Wedding Band
  • Location: Comhar Free Public Photo Studio, Garden & Caves

Home, Sweet SL Home

Posted on by cejalaval

http://Home, Sweet SL Home

I know that plenty of people live in Second Life without homes, but I can’t even imagine what that would be like. I bought my first home after only a few months inworld, and I recently had my 12th rez day.  But having a home can mean a lot of different things to different people, and they definitely come in all shapes, styles and sizes.  With about 1/6th of a standard sim (not a homestead sim), which is huge by some standards and a speck of dust by others, I constantly lust for more land and more prims… but there was a time years ago when I had double what I have now, and it still wasn’t enough lol.  But even if you have a tiny house, it doesn’t mean that you can’t make it look fabulous.  And to prove my point, I took a standard SL home — one of those you get as a Premium member — which, designed for a 512 sqm lot,  is definitely on the smaller side and, IMHO, not the best designed, and — by choosing a comfy, stylish perfect for everyday living room set that I felt had unisex appeal and then selecting what I considered more masculine textures from the 6 color/pattern schemes available — made it absolutely perfect for the single man (or woman) in Second Life!

Dench Designs – The Partney Range:  EVERYTHING in the set is a Boardwalk Exclusive, available from March 15th – April 15th. It includes the following items, sold separately —

  • Partney Sofa [Texture Change] – with Male, Female, Friends and Couple Animations. (Most are Bento)
  • Partney Chair [Texture Change] – with Male and Female Animations (Most are Bento)
  • Partney Ottoman [Texture Change] – with Male and Female Animations (Most are Bento)
  • Partney Fireplace – Fire can be turned on/off
  • Partney Rug – [Texture Change]
  • Partney Suitcase Decor

Other props used in the scene:

  • RezzRoom – Bulldog Puppy Play (Gacha)
  • Kei Spot – Kei’s Privacy Screen
  • Soy – Potted Pothos, Marketplace
  • Botanical Garden – Gecco Wall Art

Blogging Home & Decor as more than a prop in a fashion shoot is a whole different mindset from fashion blogging, and although it’s one I’ll admit to having some trouble adjusting to, I’m loving it!  It’s a totally different type of challenge, to not just create beautiful room or outdoor sets, but to do so where they’ll fit into the right sized frame and where each item will show properly in the lighting while still achieving interesting shadows. There’s so much versatility and so many choices to make!  All of which meant that it took lots of coffee but that I also had incredible fun building this section of a beautiful bedroom from items available at the Boardwalk Event, March 15th – April 15th, starting with the fantastic pool house itself and its incredibly beautiful interior.  Unfortunately, now I have a new problem… I don’t want to leave!!!!  Maybe I’ll just sit and drink my coffee for a while till it’s time to go to work…  😉

Fat Bird– Peregrine Pool House:   An absolutely amazing item, the Peregrine Pool House is a tropical-themed little two-story pool house which comes complete with a tiny conservatory, exterior waterfall and balcony.  You can see the beautiful wallpaper & some of the interior detailing in the photo which I’ve taken on the 2nd floor.  An an option, a White version is also included which has tintable walls instead of the tropical wallpaper.  Both houses are copy/mod, mesh, materials enabled & mod friendly. They are 60 prims, with an approximate footprint of 20×15.  Also included with the two houses are the Tropical Bird Prints, a series of three connected wall art posters featuring tropical birds, which I’ve placed above the DayBed. They are mesh, materials enabled & mod friendly as well, with a land impact score of 3 prims. The ads below will provide additional views, & there’s a fullsize version of the Pool House up on the demo platform at the event, so you can walk through & see all the incredible detail for yourself. 

Magnum Opus – The Linen Cabinet:  For a simple concept, this is a surprisingly detailed piece. It includes two versions… one fully stocked, as I’ve used it (which has a land impact of 12 prims); one with an empty cabinet & all the individual items boxed separately so you can use & arrange as you see fit.  Personally, I’ve never seen anything of this kind that’s quite so perfect… it’s neat, yet with the open door, hanging towel & then  the other towel on the side of the hamper, it has just the right amount of mess to it.  This is one item that has definitely found a permanent place in my home.

Gracefully Wicked – Daydreamer DayBed:  Perfect for indoor or outdoor use, this DayBed can sit up to 3 avatars at the same time.  It looks great, because it has 5 texture sets which you can either apply as a pre-set or select the frame & each set of pillows separately to coordinate with your decor, which is what I did here. But this DayBed goes way beyond just good looks, because it also includes 380 different quality animations –singles, including the coffee drinking one I’m using, 2p & 3p cuddles, & 2p & 3p adult.  100% mesh, copy/mod, with a land impact of 10.

A Breath of Fresh Air

http://A Breath of Fresh Air

I love Second Life, which is a good thing, because I certainly spend enough time both inworld and in RL working on things related to it.  But sometimes it seems that certain things are just repeated, done over and over.  And yet, when something different comes along, it’s not always immediately welcome.  These pants are a perfect example… Because it seems like almost every pair of pants I own here in Second Life is lo-cut — sometimes to the extreme! — my initial reaction when I saw these high-waisted pants was admittedly one of hesitation.  But thankfully, I decided to try them on, and all I have to say is boy, was I ever wrong!  WOW!!! If I may so myself, these pants make my curves — especially my butt (which is already enhanced with Tonic’s booty control) — look absolutely AMAZING!!!  And although I’m sure they look equally good with a full-length top, I simply love the combination of the high waist with a short cropped sweater like this wonderful little off-shoulder find… What a refreshing difference!!!!  And yes, there’s been lots of exclamation points in this post lol… but I think it deserves every single one!  And to celebrate, even though it’s getting colder outside again after a 2-day reprieve, it’s definitely time to tiptoe through the SL tulips and welcome those initial signs of spring!!! 😉

  • Head: Tonic – Coco is the new bento head from Tonic that I’ve been blogging about for weeks.  I adore Coco because I finally have my slightly slanted eyes that I’ve wanted since day one, & being fully mod & Omega-ready I’ve been able to customize her to make her truly individual.  Available EXCLUSIVELY at the Skin Fair through March 24th where Coco is on sale for a special introductory price of 50% off.  If you haven’t picked up your demo yet to see what kind of unique look you can create for yourself, you really are missing out.
  • Pants:  MOZ Designs – High Waist Flair Hem Pants, with a fit & style that is absolutely unbelievable. Whatever shape you’ve got, it looks incredible in these pants! Recently updated to include more mesh bodies, these pants are now Original Fitmesh for Maitreya, Slink, Belleza, Tonic, eBody & EVE, in this wonderful linen texture (this particular color has a subtle stripe in its weave, just gorgeous!). Available in a variety of single colors or a Superpack.
  • Top:  lovelysweet Boutique – Mia Sweater; this comfy-looking, subtly sexy off-shoulder crop sweater comes with a halter top that you can wear separately or in combination. Includes a 6-color HUD for the sweater, 5-colors for the halter. A WLTB Designer.
  • Skin:  7 Deadly s[K]ins – Cassidy, worn in Cashew Browless.  Based on LAQ, Cassidy is a brand-new stunner of an Omega skin.  She’s so stunning, all I’ve added are my freckles! Fatpacks of dark & light tones are available EXCLUSIVELY at eBento March 10th – 31st.  Demos & shape are also available.

Whatever, I’m Fabulous Anyway

http://Whatever, I'm Fabulous Anyway

It’s been a bit of a tough week all in all, and it’s not even over yet. As I mentioned in an earlier blog, I started a new job and although it sounds really whingy, I’m just not used to getting up early every day, getting dressed, packing a lunch, and going to work. Luckily it’s an extremely short commute (only 5 minutes!) and a very flexible schedule, but still, I’m just not used to having to be anywhere day after day.  On top of that, tax forms are due for my small business, which is stressful, some medical issues are rearing their ugly head, FlickR has been IMPOSSIBLE, and it just goes on and on. Here in Second Life, deadlines have crept up on me due to my new time constraints and my still learning how to cope with them.  Bottom line, I’m feeling kind of down on myself.  Even though my oufit is awesome and I absolutely adore my new head, when I look at myself I see beyond what the mirror sees.  I need to remind myself of the message on the wall:  Whatever, I’m fabulous anyway! 😉

What I’m wearing:

  • Outfit:  Graffitiwear– Love Affair, includes both a gorgeous 2-piece sequin dress & a separate fur cloak.  So luxuriously sexy, with just the right amount of sparkle!  8-color HUD for the dress; 10-textures for the fur.  Sized for Tonic, Slink P/H, Belleza F/I/V, Maitreya, eBody, & Classic.  At the Designer Circle 8th Anniversary Round 05/19 March 3rd – 16th.  Demo available.  See the ad below for more details.
  • Head: Tonic – Coco is the new bento head from Tonic that I’ve previewed several times.  I adore Coco because she really does offer something completely different! She has a somewhat exotic look with slightly slanted eyes, & is fully mod & Omega-ready so you can customize her to make her truly unique.  Available EXCLUSIVELY at the Skin Fair through March 24th where Coco is on sale for a special introductory price of 50% off.  Demo available.
  • Skin:  7 Deadly s[K]ins – MissPlaced is truly a one-of-a-kind skin. Unlike most 7DS skins, she’s fully made up & ready to go out on the town with bright red lipstick, eye liner, & beauty marks.  Nothing innocent about this look!  I’m wearing her in Butter Browless, but there’s a full selection of dark & light tones available in fatpacks when she takes her turn at the Whore Couture Fair 9 by Flair for Events on March 15th through the 31st.
  • Shoes: [Sheba] Creations – Hex Mules Sequin.  Includes a special HUD with 10 sequin textures for the main body of the shoes, 10 solids for the base & heels, & 5 metal tones; in sizes for Tonic, Belleza, Slink, Maitreya, eBody, & Altamura. Demo available.

Something

Posted on by cejalaval

http://Something

Sometimes it’s really hard to put a feeling, a thought, into words. It’s why the Beatles’ lyrics to Something In The Way are, to me at least, among the most beautiful and memorable ever written.  And it also applies in a completely different way to design… you know you love it, you find it irresistible, but you can’t necessarily put your finger quite on the reason why.  It’s just something, or maybe it’s just the way a lot of somethings add up together.  It doesn’t really matter, but THIS something is gorgeous, and makes me feel that way too… Grab a demo and see if it does the same for you! 😉

  • Outfit:  YOU by GeMyles – Theresa Lace & Boots. Now that I have my Slink body, YOU is rapidly becoming one of my favorite lines for sexy little dresses with incredible footwear. Admittedly, some of the fully sheer textures are a bit too revealing for me, but oh, when there’s an outfit like Theresa, I can’t wait to wear her! There’s just something in the total design… the slightly-revealing-but-not-too-much lace texture with the satin tie at the waist, the  matching little crotch pantie, the stiletto black boots with the matching laces, even the 32-color HUD that really made it hard to choose a color to wear!  Sized for Slink P/H, Belleza V/I/F, eBody Curvy, Maitreya & Classic.  At the Designer Circle 8th Anniversary Round 05/19 March 3rd – 16th.  Demo available.
  • Skin:  7 Deadly s[K]ins – Maaike is another flawless stunner from 7DS, with soft shading around the eyes & just the perfect amount of blush on the cheeks. She’s so fresh & beautiful, I added absolutely except freckles (see below), because I just feel naked without them!  Today I’m wearing her in Cashew Browless, but the full range of dark & light tones is available at the Skin Fair March 8th – 24th.
  • Freckles:  7 Deadly s[K]ins – Moles & Freckles, which I’m blogging every day because I’m wearing them every day!  They definitely are my favorite new item being launched at the Skin Fair as an EXCLUSIVE! Sold per item & in a fatpack box, they apply as a face tattoo. I’m continuing to include the poster below so you can see the full range of what’s in the box. Today, I’m wearing Moles #5 (see the chart below) though I did add my old signature heart mole as well. The Skin Fair is open March 8th – 24th.  Also wearing:  Izzie’s – Freckles & Heart Mole (Omega); DS’Elles – Freckle Body (Belleza, Slink, Maitreya, Omega)
  • Body:  Slink – Physique Mesh Body Original, Full Version including Hands (Dynamic) & Feet
  • Head: LAQ – Athena (Bento)
  • Brows:  LAQ – Brows 1
  • Hair:  Magika – Fool for Love

Dream On

Posted on by cejalaval

http://Dream On

We all have dreams. What we want to be, what we want to do, how we want to live, who we want to share our lives with. And as life goes on, with all its ups and downs, those dreams change.  After all, we all have dues to pay. But even in the harsh light of reality, dreams are a necessity… they are what keep us getting up each morning, and moving through each day.  We need to have dreams in our hearts and minds… big dreams, little dreams, realistic dreams, fanciful dreams, it doesn’t matter… they’re all important in their own way.  They fuel our lives, they are the energy behind everything we do.  So yes, you need to face reality, you can’t live with your head in a dream, but that doesn’t mean that you give up on your dreams.  After all, to quote Disney (and the pillow!!), “A dream is a wish your heart makes”… so let’s all DREAM ON!!!  😉

See ad for the adult version below for more details.
  • Skin:  7 Deadly s[K]ins – Toril, worn in Butter Browless. As I’ve blogged before, I adore Toril’s dimples & light freckling that make her truly unique, though I, of course, add some more freckles!  Although based on Genus, she’s an Omega skin & will fit most mesh heads (I’m wearing her on LAQ with my own shape). Originally introduced at the recent Dubai Event, fatpacks of 7 light or dark tones, demo & shape are now all available at the store.
  • Freckles:  7 Deadly s[K]ins – Moles & Freckles, which are my favorite new item being launched at the Skin Fair as an EXCLUSIVE; as a freckle/mole gal, I’ve been experimenting with the various options!

Wishing on a Star

http://Wishing on a Star

I started a new job this week. It’s part-time, EXACTLY what I was looking for (yay!), and just 5 minutes from my house.  It’s almost as if my job wish came true, it’s such a match to my checklist of what I wanted. This week I only did a fraction of what will be my normal hours, but after not working outside my home for several years, wow, the weekend feels wonderful! I wouldn’t go so far as to say I’m living for the weekend (been there, done that, thank you very much!), but I will admit that today all I want to do is lie around and daydream.  Unfortunately, this girl this has lots of blogging to work on… not to mention taxes to prepare on my OTHER business… SOOOO happy we don’t have to prepare taxes in Second Life lol!!!!  Well, enough chatter… I’m just going back to daydreaming now, all about all the wonderful things in both lives!  😉

  • Jacket:  +Psycho Barbie+ – Bomber Jacket.  This leather jacket offers some awesome styling & is not-just-your-basic-bomber jacket…  Off-shoulders, unzipped & buttoned by just one button, open at the sleeves, it’s actually quite a sexy little choice.  Includes a 10-color HUD in sizes for Slink H/P, Belleza F/I/V, & Maitreya.  Just 69L for SYNDICATE SUNDAY March, Mar 3rd – 10th! And how can I not comment on the name of this designer!?! Best ever!!! You can see all items available for this event at secondlifesyndicate.com/syndicate-sunday/.

Skin & Gin in the Moonlight

Posted on by cejalaval

http://Skin & Gin in the Moonlighthttp://MAAIKE & MOLES

I’m a lucky blogger in that I’ve managed to arrange things so that I’m never told what to blog… yes, I have minimums to meet for every sponsor within certain time frames, but other than that, I choose what to blog.  Sometimes that’s a problem because I like so much it’s hard to choose; before I got my Slink Physique body, sometimes not enough was available to fit my body; other times, not enough falls into my taste range.  And sometimes I really love an outfit but the body (the template) is the same as one I’ve blogged before.  That’s when I have a bit of an inner struggle, to blog or not to blog, but if the designer’s interpretation of the basic body is completely different, and the textures are to die for, then the outfit is a completely new experience and truly deserves to be blogged.  And that’s the case with today’s dress… yes, I blogged the “template” previously for a dress I absolutely adored… and now this one has swept me away with a totally different look and feel.  Neither one is better than the other… each is marvelous in its own right.  Today’s dress is available in both black and silver; the silver just swept me away… I tried to capture its sheen, but it’s one of those things you really need to see for yourself… as for me, well, right now moonlight and martinis seem like a pretty excellent combination to me! 😉

  • Outfit:  Giulia Design – Debra.  Available in black or silver, or as a fatpack.  Includes a matching c-string — I just love it when a designer thinks to include something like that! — as well as applier stockings (not shown), necklace & earrings. Sized for Slink P/H, Belleza V/I/F, & Maitreya. At the Designer Circle 8th Anniversary Round 05/19 March 3rd – 16th.  Demo available.
  • Skin:  7 Deadly s[K]ins – Maaike is another flawless stunner from 7DS, with soft shading around the eyes & just the perfect amount of blush on the cheeks. Since this is a dressy dress, I added some silvery eyeshadow & red lipstick, but I’ll definitely be doing some “As Is” posts with Maiike, she’s such a stunner. I’m wearing her in Cashew Browless, but the full range of dark & light tones will be available at the Skin Fair starting tomorrow, March 8th – 24th.
  • Freckles:  7 Deadly s[K]ins – Moles & Freckles are also being launched at the Skin Fair as an EXCLUSIVE; as a freckle/mole gal, I’ve been waiting impatiently for this! Sold per item & in a fatpack box, they apply as a face tattoo. I’ve included the poster below so you can see the full range of what’s in the box. I’m wearing Moles #6. The Skin Fair opens tomorrow March 8th & goes through the 24th.  Also wearing: DS’Elles – Freckle Body (Belleza, Slink, Maitreya, Omega)

Soaking in the Green

Posted on by cejalaval

http://Soaking in the Green

Maybe it’s because in Real Life I seem to have the kiss of death when it comes to indoors plants, but in Second Life I’m always surrounding myself with green growing things. In addition to being huge on landscaping, I bring a lot of greenery into the house as well, which is why I was just thrilled to find all these plants (and the ottomans and table too!) on sale for this week’s Syndicate Sunday! It’s just so soothing and replenishing to the soul to be surrounded by green growing things while winter is still having its wicked way outside the window… I only wish I could do the same here in Real Life, but the plants just aren’t as hardy as those in SL!!!  😉

What I’m wearing:

  • Outfit:  Enigma Apparel – Sheila Set, includes heart-shaped top w/ applier HUD in 8 colors, shorts, & mini-skirt, for lots of wardrobe options.  Sized for Slink P/H, Belleza V/I/F, & Maitreya. At the Designer Circle 8th Anniversary Round 05/19 March 3rd – 16th.
