Tilly and Tuli

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.

Yay Yay It’s Caturday!!

Yay Yay It’s Caturday!!

Ok, it’s Saturday, so that means that it’s ‘Super Bargain Saturday‘ whereby a number of retailers offer some happy wee items for just 60L. I completely missed Fifty Linden Friday this week, doh!, so I was determined to not miss Saturday. As usual with this kind of event it’s a mixed bag, but I recommend checking out this great ‘Celestial’ tattoo from PARA DESIGNS. There are some nifty freebies there too that you should indulge yourself with; they really do produce excellent tattoos, and I especially like the fact that they retail sets that cater especially for viewer 2.0 I have no idea how we’ve managed without a tattoo layer, and when the option to layer the layers comes in a future 2.0 update I can imagine everyone’s ARC soaring into the millions! I care not a jot, it’s going to completely revolutionise the way we wear outfits in SL.
Also featured is a dress I picked up from a completely new store to me ( That isn’t featured in Super Bargain Saturday, but I found it whilst doing the rounds) called MY PINKIE SKULL. Where *do* people find their store names? It sells a great range of streetwear in bright colours as well as hair and accessories. I spotted lots of cool items, in particular a really funky catsuit and this rather sweet ‘Unzzip Me’ dress. Why did I buy it? Simple, the creasing and the shading really work, as does the zip detail and the prim cuffs upon the arms. You get two options, one with the stars detail and one without, which makes it super versatile. I also really like the arm wraps, which are a new release in store and you can *just* make them out in this picture. They come in 8 different combinations and make a great addition to an outfit..I love items like that. Also worth a mention is the pose, which IS part of the Super Bargain Saturday event. It’s called ‘Your Turn’, and it’s part of the ‘Model Poses 2’ pack, from BUBBLE (which is next to ‘My Pinkie Skull’) and you get 10 poses for L$60, and they’re pretty nifty too. Finally I MUST mention the hair that I am wearing, yes it’s another TRUTH spectacular and it’s featuring colour-change streaks again…I am *loving* the hair that he is creating at the moment, and these streak options are really making his styles go that extra mile. This one is called ‘Peyton’ and if you want to avoid the usual lag-fest at the Truth mainstore you’ll find it available on X-street.
Now, please excuse me- I need to go and change my skin from this lovely CURIO beauty to a skin that cost just L$60 and is rather spesh….BRB!

Do it til we’re Black ‘N’ Blue

Do it til we’re Black ‘N’ Blue

Need any more persuasion to poddle along to the ‘Black and Blue Fair’? Hopefully this will help to tempt you further in the fair’s direction…I am LOVING this shirt dress from MFP. What I love about it is the detail. The creasing is divine ( as if you could say that about creases in real life!) making it look really authentic and as you can see the colour looks beautiful against a dark skin, which really makes the gorgeous blue colour stand out. I’m still wearing the SIGMA bangles, but I do like bangles in SL for one simple reason; as avatars we have nasty wrist bones that stick out and can look dreadful in some shots, so it’s much easier to hide the offending bones with wrist-wear than have them chopped off:)

The hair isn’t from the fair, but it’s new from TRUTH. Yes, the hair-meister has done it again! This is another of his colour-change streak hairstyles and it’s just sooo immensely wearable and can accomodate so many different looks, for example rock-chick chic or Neko as I’m demonstrating here. The ears incidentally are part of some fair exclusive packages from DREAMS, of which I’ll try and post some more detailed shots over the weekend.

You know, the irony is I’ve never been that fussed about blue as a colour being more of a red girl myself, but the amazing clothes that I’ve found at this event are really starting to make me question my anti-blue stance…

Looking Cool In Pool

Looking Cool In Pool

Who says that Kitty Kats don’t like water, hmm? Not me, and I so envy my SL right now because there’s nothing that I’d like more than to have my own personal bum-pool..(If you know me in RL you’ll get the reasoning behind that statement. No it’s not perverted for a change) This rather fine and dandy pose-prop is part of today’s 50L Friday offering from LAP. It features three poses, and there are male and female versions of the pool to choose from. There’re also some pose packs available for those who don’t feel like getting any pool happy-they’re also extremely good. I’ve always rated LAP and today’s offering is probably up there with ny favourite 50L Fridays of recent weeks, but to be honest it’s a mixed bag this week; Botanical have some really nifty fireflies for your land, but fashion wise I wasn’t really feeling it. That said, I’m wearing a swimsuit from Whippet and Buck which is part of their selection for this week, which is a double pack of red and purple swimsuits. Both as exceptionally well created as you would expect from such an esteemed in-world brand…but a tad, dare I say it, boring? Functional and lovely yes, but nothing out of the ordinary. I dunno, perhaps it’s the mood that I’m in today…

Finally I must mention the hair that I’m sporting. This isn’t a 50L item but it is part of the latest Truth hair release. It’s called ‘Sylvia’ and it features colour change streaks! Touch the menu and you have lots of colour choices, and the colour packs also feature non-streaky versions too, which are just as nifty. Great value, and yet more proof positive that Troof is THE #1 hair brand in world. I want MORE streaky hair please!
It’s bacon hair…streaky and delicious. NOM!
