Bat for these lashes….

Bat for these lashes….

Now I’ve had a Second Life frustration for the past couple of years that has driven me often to utter despair, and that has been the correct attachment of  PRIM LASHES. For some unfathomable reason, despite my reading countless blog entries and watching numerous tutorials I have NEVER been satisfied with the results and have thrown my toys out of the pram on numerous occasions because f my sheer prim-lash ineptitude. I’ve also wasted a fair few bob on prim lashes to boot…and they aren’t cheap. Now, with the advent of 2.0 I can kind of breathe a sigh of relief, because many content creators are using the super cool new tattoo layer to create beautiful designs for the face, as well as make-ups and EYELASHES! Happy dance AHOY!!! Strawberry Singh posted a STUNNING portrait on her blog earlier and the lashes featured in her piece were quoted as coming from Stellar designs..so off I trotted…and there they were. I am CHUFFED to pieces, no more faffing about just wear them and job’s a carrot. You can buy individually, but I suggest splashing out L$325 and purchasing the four-pack, which features basic, everyday, flashy and emo varieties.  You can try a demo, I did, and that was it, I was hooked. Go and see for yourself, they may not be your thing, you may prefer your prim lashes(clever sod), but for those of us that struggled, the very least I can say is go and try these.

Oh, and an appeal to content creators on the grid…MORE lashes, MORE facial tattoos, MORE make up..in fact MORE EVERYTHING using this new layer cos I LOVE IT!

This tasty little number is Makoto5, a new public preview skin from ISSIGNOSIS (Miula Jun) and it’s just gone on sale for L$1 on Xstreetsl. This isn’t the full version of the skin apparently, but for a Linden it’s a great addition to your flesh inventory. The skintone and depth are excellent, and if you go to Xstreet you’ll see a close-up of the face, and a bodyshot which demonstrate perfectly just how good this skin is. The pack also comes with a shape especially created for this skin, but I’ve used my own shape for it and I’m rather pleased with the results…if you’d like one please IM me in world and I’ll send you a copy 🙂 To finish the look I’ve got a dress from PIXELDOLLS, hair by W&Y and bracelets from CAD & TART. I think Makoto is very pretty indeed, and I’m not letting Jez anywhere near her.  (He has a fetish for ladies of an Asian persuasion, let’s leave it at that shall we?) Got a linden? Good, click here to go and snaffle a bargain!

Tattoo You…

Tattoo You…

First up dear readers, HUGE grovelling apologies for my not blogging for (gulp) almost a week.
It’s my RL shifts, alas some weeks they bugger me up more than usual and I’m afraid that’s been the case here. Still, I’ll more than make up for it I can assure you! So, how have you been, missed me? Having fun with 2.0? I must confess that I’m really getting into my stride with it now. I’m not in as much of a loving minority as I was with it last week either; I’ve encountered a lot of people who are gagging for the new viewer, especially the Snowglobe version. I’m running Snowglobe 2.0 at the moment and SL is rezzing better and faster and is noticeably less laggy, so I do heartily recommend that you give it a whirl.
Of course, I eagerly await the Emerald 2.0 viewer. I think everyone is waiting for that one with baited breath, fingers crossed!
Anyway, to get us back into the swing of things, let me share a nice look I’ve just created with you. This is sort of beach-beautiful, which I’ve crafted using CURIO ‘Beach-Jellyfish 2’. I’m wearing a chest enhancing attachment with it from LINC, and the jewellery is by my favourite jewellers at the moment, $GaNKeD$. The gorgeusly summery hair is ‘Justine’ in ‘Barley’ by TRUTH, and the dress is called ‘Open Up’ in plum, by UB. But the main reason I created this was because I wanted to share the stunning butterfly face tattoo I won today at DEVOL. They have a roulette machine in store, you pay it L$50 and you receive a face tattoo selection at random. I had two attempts and got two beauties; this butterfly tattoo and a stars tattoo. I love the fact that we have a tattoo layer now in the new viewer, and it’s going to make such a difference to designers. Make-up, facial tattoos and various adornments, even hair bases can be created for this layer now and it’s really going to revolutionise some of the looks that we see on our virtual catwalks and blogs in the near future. I’m sore impressed with this look and I hope you are too..to think, we’ve only had 2.0 for just over a week as well….

  1. Do as I did, and go for a bijou frolicette at Alirium Gardens, because it’s VERY pretty.
  2. Pop over to Pixeldolls and MARVEL at the wonderful goodies on sale for a measley L$10..there’s a vast range of tops, skirts, dresses, gowns and ensembles that are perfect for every occasion. Stock up. (The dress I am wearing in the previous post is from that very sale..good eh?)
  3. Go and visit my Kittylicious! Shapes stores at Malt, Harlow and Second Style Island, because very soon I’m going to be revamping the whole range and getting rid of lots of shapes forever. Sadly I’ll also be closing one of my stores too (but more news on that later) You can click HERE for a series of headshots of my releases this year..three are already out, the remainder will be coming soon.
  4. Fancy a great freebie home? Then  get yourself a FREE COTTAGE by tp’ing  HERE It’s actually very nice indeed, and is courtesy of Sedona Sparrow@ NEST.
  5. Wander over to the Car Wash sim (home to Fabfree!) and enjoy the CART SALE, items are L$10 and under and there are 65 vendors participating! Can you imagine?!
  6. Buy even more bargains from the Alatiel Fashions outlet; with prices at L$100 and under plus styles for both men and women, you’re sure to find something to tickle yours (or his!) fancy.
  7. Finally, go to  Wildfire Designs/Firestorm and buy the amazing animated watering can and flowerbox, and even better the stunning Moroccan lounger, for only L$25 each as part of the ‘L$25 Tuesdays’ event.
