ESSENCIAL have a fantastic store at the color blocking event, not only can you find shapes and skins that perfectly meet the brief, but some great dresses and pants. The skull mesh dress in vibrant pink looks fabulous and there’s also a fantastic psychadelic long neck tie dress, ‘Carnival’ at a staggeringly cheap L$75! (In fact, all the clothing items in store are at that fantastic price:) As Darth Vader once said, “Impressive, most impressive”

I’m Your Aphrodite…
Lelutka has released three Goddess themed hairstyles today for summer, and they’re all rather special, which they should be if you’re going to name hairstyles after Goddesses. But don’t worry; I don’t think they’ll be angry and rain down fire and brimstone upon us, for Aphrodite, Athena and Demeter are beautiful styles evoking classical grace and splendour thus befitting their namesakes perfectly.
For this post I wanted to focus on the flowing locks of Aphrodite. This is a rigged mesh style that will move with your body, therefore it’s not resizable, but boy is it lovely. The hair tumbles in graceful waves down the back and is caught up at the sides, leaving more tousled locks to fall free over the shoulders. It perfectly evokes classical Grecian imagery and it would work not just as a high fashion style, which is obviously the market that it’s aimed at, but also for the role-play community too.
I’ve teamed it with one of the most glorious skins that I saw at the Skin Addiction showcase that’s in world at the moment. It’s a must attend event, courtesy of the Skin Addiction blog, featuring lots of delicious skins to feast your eyes upon and lots of names that I wasn’t familiar with, so I got TONS of demos to play with as well as some freebies too! (Join the Skin Addiction group to benefit) Incidentally, the layout of this event is fantastic. It’s not cluttered or fussy and the landscaping is absolutely amazing in the forest areas, I wanted to stay there all day exploring! (Dizzy Sparrow I salute you for your epic landscaping abilities, if I ever get my own land again in SL (something I dream about often) expect a call from me asking you to landscape it for me!))
But back to the skin. It’s a beauty! She’s called ‘Keiko’ and she’s from the ’Rosy Mood’ label, one I’d never heard of before but will be seriously checking out now! (See? Events like this do work!) Keiko features a choice of light or dark skin tone, as well as five make-ups too. There’s also teeth and cleavage options and they work perfectly; I’m totally delighted with it. And I think it works beautifully with this hair too to produce a combination fit for Mount Olympus itself.
To buy Lelutka hair you can visit the Marketplace or In-world store.
Rosy Mood has a blog, a mainstore and here’s the link to the Skin Showcase too!
NEW Truth Hair-‘Kalista’ is Bloody stunning.
Remember the original Ferrero Rocher advert, where they’re at the Ambassador’s party? The guy is uber-cool and has, ahem, ‘exquisite taste’, and nods towards his butler to bring in a silver tray teaming with chocolates. The butler carries the pile of golden nommables around and each guest selects one with mucho gusto, causing one of them to say to the Ambassador, ” Monsieur, With these Rocher you are really spoiling us!” ( You can watch it here, it’s a classic!)
Well, that’s how I feel about Truth hair, because at the moment I definitely feel like Mr Hawks is spoiling us and then some. He’s released another FOUR styles this week and I’m wobbling with excitement! (Alas I could only splurge on one due to the blinking car failing her MOT this morning..GAHHH) This one is ‘Kalista’ and it is a thing of beauty.
Regular readers will know about my Truth hair obsession ( there is NO cure) and my tendency to refer to his new streak-enhanced styles as ‘Bacon Hair’, because they’re streaky and nommable.
(I know, in my mind you’re thinking “Dear Lord, what a wit! Mark Twain and Charles Dickens must be shaking in their tombs!” when actually you’re thinking “Lame..” Just humour me ok? You should be used to it by now.. ) Well, this takes meaty hairstyles up a notch. This isn’t JUST Bacon Hair my friends, this is the finest bacon, probably sourced from golden happy pigs and oak smoked by pixies or some other woodland Fae folk because we’ve moved on from not one but TWO sets of streaks that change colour !!! YAYYAYAYYAYAYAYAYAY!! GET IN!
As you can see it looks bloody fantastic. You can really co-ordinate your look just that little bit more and beeven more amazing than usual with just the click of a coupl of buttons on a menu..no fuss, no hassle and it makes Ferrero Rocher look like dust covered-weasel pissballs, if there is such a phenomenom. ( A delicacy in some quarters, so I hear)
So, go and check out ‘Kalista’ on Truth’s blog, and follow the links to that style and Rylan, Rylan 2 and Layla (epic name, epic bunches!) and click on each to buy them at XStreet, thus avoiding the store-scrummage. Personally I feel it is high time he was knighted for services to hair.
Sir Truth, we are not worthy to lick your boots and I for one salute you! ( MOAR BACON HAIRRR PLEASE!!!!)
Tilly and Tuli
Two things that make me happy this friday…, originally uploaded by =^..^=Kitty O’Toole =^..^=.
Two things that have put a smile on my anxious kitty – chops today are these wonders from two of Second Life’s uber-designers..Truth Hawks and Tuli Asturias.
First up we have the beautiful ‘Tanya’ preview skin that is a giftie for group members at the Tuli mainstore (Remember, have your group tag activated) As you would expect from a Tuli skin, this one is beautifully rendered and has stunning highlighting. Just look at the clavicles and the philtrum and see how beautifully they are defined…awesome. The brows are nice and strong and it bodes well for the future release, I cannot wait to see what make-up options will be available!
I’m also wearing the super-amazing latest ‘Bacon’ hair release from Truth ( I call it bacon hair because it’s streaky..geddit?) which is a rioutous affair, it reminds me of Glambert and this shade, Cranberry, looks beautiful with the Tuli skin, don’t you think?
A final nod to Tuli, the eyes that I am wearing are another freebie for group members available in-store. These are ‘Gem Eyes’, I am wearing the Ruby flavour for this shot, and I think they work quite well but I must confess that I’m not mad about the actual texture upon the iris…however, they’re a freebie from Tuli so definitely NOT to be sniffed at, and the gift features five gem colours so there’s something for everyone.
