Bobs Are Like Buses…

Bobs Are Like Buses…

You wait around for a nice swishy-wishy funky-wunky (yes, I’ll stop that now) bob and whadda y’know? TWO come along at once, and both are bloody scrumptious.

First up we have the more conventional of the two: this is ‘Minzy’ by Magika (Good job it wasn’t called ‘Mimsy’ or I would be making all sorts of inappropriate jokes) and it’s pretty much a classic bob, but with more volume and bounce created by adding some shorter layers to the sides and a glorious side-swept fringe. This comes with a HUD so that you can change the colours of both the main style and the streak, and you can even have the fringe parted to the opposite side, should you fancy. You can’t really go wrong with Magika hair especially at L$199 for an 8 colour pack (packs are sold in colour themes, so for example if you purchase the ‘Blondes’ pack you get all the blondes, obviously) I confess I am completely in love with this. It’s so easy to wear, looks just perfect against all the skins I have in my inventory and will mix and match with many an outfit. Pure Second Life bliss, and when you walk it moves beautifully too. More swish than Cat Deeley on acid!Moving on we have a splendid new style from Truth, called ‘Nahla’.  (Click picture to enlarge) Truth is, as we know, the hair God in SL, and this latest release does nothing to wrench that title from him..it just sets it in stone even further. He is a clever sod.

Now, I guess you couldn’t call this a bob in the strictest sense of the word, because it’s shaggier and has much more layering, BUT it does kind of roughly equate one so shush. Either way I’m writing about it because it’s effing fabulous! I mean, JUST LOOK! It comes with two fringe styles; a side-swept fringe like Minzy (Oh I so need to call it Mimsy!) but also a full-on Grizzly Adams style chunky can-barely-see-through-it fringe too. There’s tons of definition and shape due to the amount of layering, and again movement on this style is just divine. You also have a streak option with this as well, but it’s a tad pricier for a pack, setting you back L$250 for a 5 colours BUT it’s definitely worth it.. This is just the ultimate in groupie and bed-head hair really isn’t it?
So there you have it..two delicious bobs ripe for picking.

Which one will you choose?

Tilly and Tuli

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.

Glorious Gloria!

Truth has launched an amazing range of new hair in store, and it really does take some beating. The  range is featured upon his blog , but I heartily suggest you go down the store and try the demos on quick sharp because *everyone* is going to be rocking these latest styles on the grid. I’m not joking- the store is packed out each time I rez in! (I rez in, buy demos and zoom on out again!) and to be frank I’m not surprised, his hair has ALWAYS been quality but it’s as though he’s drunk some ‘Tru Blood’ or something recently because he’s churning new hair out like he’s on fire..and the styles are truly fresh and funky.

(Not that they weren’t before..but he seems to have ramped it up a little) I’m wearing the demo for ‘Gloria’ in this picture, and I don’t usually wear blonde hair but this does look rather fetching don’t you think?  It’s enough to make me wanna look up some Van Morrison on Spotify! Do yourself a favour folks, before Van the Man even has the chance to spell it out, go and check up on G-L-O-R-I-A..

( Random Kitty Fact#1 I never knew Truth was a guy until I befriended him on Plurk! I Know…don’t ask…)

(Random Kitty Fact #2 He’s bloody gorgeous as well!!! EEP!
