Skin? Yes, please!!

Hello my fellow fashion lovers! Tell me - can a girl ever have too many skins in Second Life? Especially well detailed skins? /me hears a loud 'Hell no!' response... Hmm..My thoughts exactly :o)

Reila Karu of Reila Skins & Fashions just released her latest skin line named, "Tiffany," and hands-down, this skin oozes with beautiful, highly-detailed quality. Tiffany is a soft-glowing skin with highlights that accentuate the body's best assets appropiately. Check out the full body and close-up previews below:




Tiffany comes in 6 different makeups and hairbase + cleavage options. Also included is a shape, eyebrow base and a pair of eyes - definitely a complete avatar package and definitely worth trying on.

Hair Fair Starts Tomorrow!

*Hears the hair angels sing*

Mm yeah...It must be a sure sign that it's that time of the year folks. So, quick question - have you been saving? Tomorrow marks the first day for Hair Fair 2011, and you'll only have 13 whole days to navigate through 4 (yes, four!) sims of locks. Speaking of locks, proceeds from all hairdos will benefit the real-life organization, Wigs for Kids. Wigs for Kids provides wigs to children who have endured a medical condition where the child has lost his/her hair.

There's several notable stores participating this year, including, but certainly not limited to, Elikatira, LoQ Hairs, Magika, Exile, Amacci and much-much more. To my surprise, there also seems to be a longer list of smaller/perhaps lesser-known hair shops - so, definitely worth checking out.

You can find a complete list of participating hair stores, and their respective slurls, on the Hair Fair's official website.

I'll be busy stuffing my already cluttered inventory with more demo awesomeness - So stay tuned for my top 5 picks!

'Til next time!

Caught You Looking..!

So loving the latest release from Butterfly Effectz. It's called 'Caughty You Looking.' This ensemble comes in several colors, and today I chose to show off the Peachy color. Check it out:


This ensemble sets a great example of what it means for an outfit to be fun and flirty - all the way from the close-knit fit to the sheer frills and bow on the hip. I envisioned this outfit going well with an upcoming pair of heels from Diktator called, Inna. However, they are yet to be released. You can catch a sneak peak of them here.

MESH is COMING!

TO Second Life that is! Okay, so this isn't a review NOR is it a compilation of current awesome items in SL; but rather, it's about a new fantastic feature coming to the next Second Life client which will transform nearly everything in the game. And, yes, it's called Mesh. There's all sorts of speculation right now about the power of Mesh and what it will all effect and to whom will it effect. I found a great video on YouTube that explains and shows what Mesh is and will do to the game of Second Life as we know it - as far as builds are concerned. Watch it here.

Imagine how avatars and clothes will look under the "Mesh-Influence." Fellow blogger and fashion designer, Siddean Munro, has posted a wonderful FAQ and a sample photo all about MESH here.

You decide if it's a good or maybe a bad thing for the game. Leave a comment or, better yet, leave me a message on my Plurk.

Til next time,

24 Hrs. Only!

Although there is a skin fair and shape expo going on right now, you definitely will not want to miss out on the latest quickie deal from Candy Doll. Right now, Candy Doll is offereing itsTamara skin for only 50L *and* its only for the next 24 hrs.! Tamara comes with 4 cleavage options and is only in the Tan skin tone.
I really love the softness of this skin and the overall matte - it gives a very real and fresh look to it.

Fair Palooza, Links & Other Info!

Have you been snoozin' lately? If so, you might have missed the announcements of several expos and a fair that have already kicked off and those just kicking off.



First up - Skin & Shape Expo!

The Skin & Shape Expo has a long list of designers participating this year that includes, but certainly not limited to the following: Pink Fuel, Adam N Eve, Curio, Atomic, Leafy, Vive9, Imagen and more! It is no way associated with the Skin Fair! The Skin & Shape Expo only runs for 10 days, so that is technically now 'til the 20th (6 days left!) ...Teleport to the Skin & Shape Expo

Next up is the Home & Garden Expo! Even if you're homeless in SL (like me, at times), you might still want to stop by to see all the creative creations creators have prepared for this event. There's surely something for everyone! I know I will be heading there soon to stock up on inventory, because, turns out I don't have as much house items as I previously thought. The Home Expo just opened yesterday at noon and ends Sunday, May 22nd. For a complete list of participants visit the official blog here.

Last but certainly not least, Shoe Fair 2011:

Oh Yes! By the time I post this the Shoe Fair 2011 will have already kicked off! Did you think it just happened? Well, you're not alone. If you're like me, you mayy be thinking - didn't we just have one? But, really, if there was a shoe fair every week I wouldn't even protest! It's true. I love shoes and I'm so excited to go get my shopping on tomorrow! See all the new shoes at the fair this year here.

As with any fair or expo there are sure to be lots of avatars tp'ing in with scripts and heavy prims...so please, be kind and detach and everyone will be grateful for that much less lag in the sims!

Kisses everyone! I'll be sure to snap pics along my journey through all the fairs slash expos this weekend so stay tuned for that and more!


Love, Tekila V.

Flirtation

Dear Summer, please come soon with your clear skies, cool breezes in the warm temps and all the fashion that loves to flaunt itself in your presence. LadyCatherine at Butterfly Effectz is feeling the desire for summer, too! She has released this outfit in white called, "Back It Up." It's a fun two-piece (jacket-layer shirt/pant-layer shorts) that is great to have, one that you can even mix and match with other items of clothing. Check it out:


The "Back It Up" ensemble comes in 7 different colors and is now available.

Sculpted Bunny Ears!

. Hello world! I'm really nervous/excited/anxious just to tell you that I have finally finished my first set of sculpted bunny ears! This was actually a lot harder than I anticipated it to be...so I really hope you enjoy this product (if you even decide to check it out!). And, I'm sure I'm pretty much loving it maybe more than anyone might (?idk!). Like a proud mama I'm already sporting it with the latest Glam Affair skin from The Dressing Room (70L). You can find this set at my current and only location, Gesture Avenue, by clickinging here. Be sure to stop on by and show some love!
