The Kitty In Red…

The Kitty In Red…

I don’t normally wear my hair long, but Magicka have such amazing long mesh-styles that it would be wrong not to. I ventured out to try this style, called ‘Flourish’, and immediately fell in love. It’s whimsical and romantic and just full of body and life. I’d love my real-life tresses to be like this, alas I may have the length but not the body..or life..sucks to be me eh? ;P  I’ve never had any issues with Mesh from Magicka so I’m always pretty reassured when making purchases from there. Even so, ALWAYS demo. You never know what kind of stunts SL will pull and it’s never fun parting with your hard earned Linden for something that won’t work/looks wrong. (Incidentally I’m wearing a demo in this picture, not because I’m cheap, but because I wanted to share this amazing style with you)

In keeping with the romantic theme I teamed the hair with the stunning ‘Mons Summer Love Collection Vintage Long Dress’ mesh dress offering from The Dressing Room Blue. This is summer perfection, a beautiful ankle sweeping summery dress with cut out back and delicate red floral print..very Russian peasant. Peasant style pricing too, a very reasonable L$70.

Which leads me neatly on to the skin I’m wearing, it’s called ‘Laika II’ and is a mere L$99 from Filthy this weekend only and it’s a bloody bargain of enormous proportions. The make-up is outstanding on this skin, I’m completely taken by it and you should be too. For your L$99 you get 8 make-ups from a subtle daytime look to dramatic winged eyeliner, via various compositions including green and blue eyeshadow choices. (The lips are glossy and kissable, but you can enhance them even more for L$1 because there are some separate glosses for sale in store too)
Love it, this is a steal of a skin for just L$99 so beg, steal or borrow the dosh because you mustn’t miss out!

Kitty goes mad for..’!gO!’

Kitty goes mad for..’!gO!’

I didn’t know much about ‘!gO!’ (except that it’s a rather fantastic choon of epic proportions by keyboard guru Moby, who my ginger cat is named after, fact fans:) but I can tell you one thing; after visiting today it’s somewhere I intend to frequent. A lot.

It’s one of those stores that you can only find in Second Life. In other words, it’s totally mad bonkers. Lots of over-sized books and crazy colours and crayons conjure up a world of LSD induced fashion madness, but don’t be put off. The clothes here are actually rather stupendous, especially the numerous mesh items, and I want to tell you about two things in particular.

First up is the ‘Bloom’ dress. This is a rigged mesh short frock, with big patch-pockets, available in a veritable myriad of styles to suit all tastes; provided you like prints, <chuckle>There’s some that are quite naive, some that are quite bold and floral, but all of them will look great worn alone or with leggings or even jeans. It’s worth noting that now is a good time to join the ‘Go’ update group in store; not only is it free but you also get a special Bloom frock for your trouble, see picture below:

Swish innit? In fact, so taken was I with teh styling that I purchased the Bloom black dress with the bold floral on it.  It has an almost Asian feel to it so I treated myself. And rather pleasing it is too, although I think I can do without it saying ‘Bloom’ in big letters down the side. But it looks the part, the mesh fits well (note: for me that’s slightly on the baggy side, not all of you will like your mesh to fit that way) and when all is said and done I was rather taken with myself in it.

My Fab Friday Find though has to be this mesh over-sized ‘Big’ t-shirt. There’s a plethora of prints to select from and it’s outrageously large and perfect for slobbing out in Second Life. There are male and female versions available too, and I imagine it would look especially good on a boy avi wearing his pants on the ground. (Something I find bloody annoying in real and virtual life I’m afraid. Mate, sort it out because no-one wants to see your arse crack, and your thighs must be chafing so pull your trousers up!)

All 27 Big t-shirts (should you want that many) will set you back L$2, 222 or they’re available for just L$111 each.

Go (Har Har!) and take a peek and have a mosey around; the prices for mesh are good and there’s a very popular lucky-board ( the shop was busy each time I visited today) as well as a nice array of dollarbies to snaffle up while you’re there. (Oh, and before I forget look out for the mesh linen tunics and smaller tees that are in store too..it’s a proper candy box of treats this one, well done Gocha Merlin!)

Here’s your taxi.

And should you fancy perusing the goodies on the web, here’s the link to the market place, whoop whoop!
