Walking the Red Carpet

You will look and feel like a celebrity with the items I have to show you today from Dulce Secrets at The Makeover Room, Tameless, Stars!, PATHOS, KaTink, and DRBC!

First, I want to show you the stunning Derian skin from Dulce Secrets at The Makeover Room.  The Derian skin is beautifully created, and is available in four skin tone packages which include two cleavage options for only L$99!   I absolutely adore the exquisite detail, and the classic elegance of the skin!  I'm certain you will also!

The expertly created jewelry shown in the photos is from Stars!  Each piece is sold separately, and is available in gold or silver settings.  Plus, you have the option to purchase the choker as a single or a double choker!  Of course, if you are a fan of other gems, the same style is available in ruby, sapphire, and emerald!

Also shown in the photos are the lovely French Nails from PATHOS!  There are nine beautiful color options to the HUD for SLink hands, and the set is only L$25!  For that price, you can afford to treat yourself to several sets of nails, and even some shoes!

Another few items I want to tell you about are the lush lashes, and the glamorous hairstyle from Tameless!  The versatile Lanore hairstyle would be perfect for any occasion, and would also be wonderful if you have hair accessories like combs or tiaras!  Lanore is available in natural, fade, and fantasy packs for only L$249 per pack, or you can pick up the mega pack for only L$499!  If you wish to have more lash options to draw attention to your irresistible eyes, there are over 40 to choose from at Tameless and are only L$99 each!   There are even several fantasy lashes available for those who enjoy role play!

The next item I want to show you is the wonderful Red Carpet prop from KaTink!  I had so much fun taking photos with this prop!  If you are wanting to take a group photo with your friends, this prop would be perfect!  With the Red Carpet prop, you could all be celebrities arriving at an event, or your friends could be the paparazzi waiting to catch the perfect photo of you!  Only your imagination limits the uses of this fantastic prop!

Last, I want to tell you about the alluring Elvira gown from DRBC which you have seen in the above photos.  The gown is captivating and absolutely gorgeous!  Believe me, you are sure to turn heads as you are entering, or leaving, the room.  As you can see in the photos above, the gown is as stunning in the front as it is in the back!  Plus, for only L$299 you are able to choose from eight different textures to suit your mood and occasion!  That is a terrific price for such a wonderful creation!

Analog Flashback

I confess, I remember when Atari was new and Pac Man was the most popular game to play!  Saying that, I flashed back to fond memories of playing video games at the arcade in the mall when I saw the fabulously fun 8 Bit Bow from no. 7 at Level Up!  There are nine fun colors available!  When you make your purchase, you'll be thrilled to find that you receive a hair bow and a bow tie for only L$50!  If you have not visited the Level Up event, please hurry.  I visited today and items are still out; however, I believe it is technically over.  

Pose:  Eternal Dream Poses @ Designer Circle -- Neige

Speaking of video games, when I played Mrs. Pac Man, I loved when Pac Man and Mrs. Pac Man meet for a smooch.  When they kissed, a little heart appeared.  That is what I thought of when I saw Pixel Love from AlterEgo!  I simply adore this creation not only for taking me back to my childhood, but also because it is expertly textured and fun in it's styling!

The Pixel Love sweater is available in black, white, baby blue, and pink for only L$125 each.  However, you can save some lindens and purchase the fat pack for only L$420!

Pose:  Eternal Dream Poses @ Designer Circle -- Neige

After picking up the adorable sweater, I took a look around AlterEgo and found the set of fantastic SLink nails!  There are eight color choices on the HUD for only L$50!  Of course, it was hard to choose from the available packs, so be looking for more posts including the other packs!

During my exploration of the store, I found the fetching Legacy Denims, and the delightful Queeny sneakers!  When you go to the footwear department, make sure to check out the roller skates, I almost wore them for this post!

Pose:  Eternal Dream Poses @ Designer Circle -- Neige

Shown below are the color options for the SLink nails I have shown in this post, and a full view of the Queeny sneakers.

Also shown in the photos above is the stunning Rory skin from WoW Skins!  It is the January group gift, and is well worth the joining fee if you are not already a member!  Plus, there is also a sale going on until January 9th!  You can save up to 40% off all items in the store!

Before leaving you to do your shopping, I want to remind you to join the groups for WoW Skins and AlterEgo! There is a group fee for each group; however, the fee is well worth it for the group gifts and other benefits offered from each location!  Believe me, you will be showered in love from both designers as group members!

Happy Shopping!

Styling Confession

I confess, normally my styling starts with an outfit and then I find the shoes, jewelry, skin, hair, and so on.  Well, today, it was different.  Today, my styling started with the skin and hair.

To begin my styling story, in my last two posts, I have shared photos of skins available at The Makeover Room.  Well, prior to logging out yesterday, I had put on the lovely Mayka skin from ND/MD at The Makeover Room.  When I first viewed the skin, I was impressed with the exquisite detail, lovely cosmetics, and the captivating lashes!  I was also impressed that there were three tones available and each tone package included the skin, three brow options, cleavage tattoo, and Lola appliers for only L$280!

When I logged in today, I chose to use the Claudia Shape from Anna Shapes, and then began looking for a hair style to wear.   I had tried a few styles when I found the Tangled style from  Analog Dog.  I really liked they way the three creations complimented each other!  The hair framed the face to enhance the enchanting beauty of the facial shape and skin, the skin looked beautiful with the shape, and the brows of the skin went very well with the color of the hair.

The next item I added was the darling Sugar outfit from Tameless.  Sugar is one of the newest releases and is available in black and floral!  I adore the fun and flirty style of the creation!  I'm sure you will adore that the outfit includes the adorable top, Capri jean, heels for SLink High Feet, necklace, and bracelet for only L$249!  When you open your purchase, it will feel like Christmas all over again!

The last items I added to my look were the exquisite Cris nails for SLink hands from PATHOS, and the darling clutch from Glow Designs!

As you may remember from a previous post, I just started wearing the SLink hands and feet.  I have to say, the HUDs from PATHOS are extremely affordable and beautifully created!  The Cris HUD includes 11 color choices for only L$25!  Yes, I said L$25!

The clutch, titled Book Bag, from Glow Designs is available in nine beautiful colors!  I chose to use the swan shade, but I had a hard time choosing.  I must mention, though not shown in this post, you will want to pick up the Paris jewelry set while you are there!  The set goes perfectly with the clutch!

While you are at the mentioned locations, please be sure to join the groups to stay informed on new releases, events, and group gifts!

Happy Shopping!

The last two photos show off the stunning set of Gold Dip nails from -{ZOZ}-!  The nail HUD for SLink hands includes 12 easy to apply brilliant colors!  As this was the first time I have tried my SLink hands, I was thrilled at just how easy the appliers were to use.  So, if you are procrastinating purchasing SLink hands or feet because you fear they may be difficult....you can stop worrying!  Believe me, the nail appliers from -{ZOZ}- made it a snap to apply to hands and feet!

Dealing with Stolen Content - Admiration for Creators

Dear Readers,

Hello!!  I am thrilled to be back in SL and to blogging!  I have missed you all so very much!  It has been wonderful hearing about the adventures you have had during my absence, and I look forward to getting back in touch with everyone!

In this post, I wish to give a round of applause to creators and designers in SL.  I have so much admiration for those who provide the items for our virtual lives!  They spend countless hours during the process of creating and designing an item; furthermore, they also spend large amounts of money on programs, tools, education, and uploading fees!

Sadly, for their pain, some creators are robbed of their creations.  I cannot imagine the heartbreak and frustration of having a creation stolen and resold under another brand.  Nor can I imagine the effort which goes into proving the stolen work was your own.

I bring this situation to light as I recently learned of Kiddo Oh's battle with a design being stolen and resold by another resident in SL.  I strongly encourage you to read her story on the Dead Dollz blog.

Gown from Dead Dollz (L$1 at main store)
Pose from Eternal Dreams Poses
Hair from Tameless Hair

Shown in the above photo is a black version of Kiddo Oh's creation named Cosette.  As stated on the Dead Dollz blog, Kiddo Oh is placing this version of her creation for sale for L$1 at the Dead Dollz main store as an effort to disrupt sales of the stolen item during the process of the DCMA filing.

After reading Kiddo Oh's story, you may be wondering what to do if you see something which may be stolen content.  Well, my suggestion is to contact the original creator with the business name, location link of the item (marketplace or SLurl), and brief description of the content in question.  Do not take for granted the original creator knows about the suspected theft.  After making contact, it is then up to the original creator to take action to protect their intellectual property.

Jewelry from Stars!
Skin from Dulce Secrets
Shape from Anna Shapes

Before closing this post, I wish to bring attention to the stunning Lizzie jewelry set from Stars!, the gorgeous Sharon shape from Anna Shapes at Designer Circle, and the lovely Makhilla skin from Dulce Secrets at bodyFanatik shown in the photo above. The Sharon shape will be available until November 22nd for only L$80, and the Makhilla skin will be available until November 25th for only L$350 per pack!  There four beautiful skin tones available, and seven skins in each pack!   After the event, the Makhilla skins will be sold individually.

Happy Shopping!

Being Cinderella

Every woman deserves to be treated like a fairy tale princess!  Fairy tale dreams of being Cinderella can come true with the releases from WoW Skins, Anna Shapes, Elemental Jewelry, and Snowpaws!

To begin my fairy tale princess look, I chose the lovely Riwen skin from WoW Skins at Designer Circle and the captivating Christie shape from Anna Shapes at Designer Circle!  I think the two creations compliment each other beautifully, don't you?

Next, I added the gorgeous Ariadne jewelry collection from Elemental Jewelry!  The exquisitely designed texture change set is available in red, blue, green, and gold.  Each stone color set has several stone, metal, and gem options!  You may also adjust the shine, brightness, and glow from the touch menu!  Every princess needs these jewels in her royal collection!

At last it was time to choose the gown fit for a fairy tale ending!  I stopped by Snowpaws to select my gown.  It was a difficult decision, but I finally chose the charming Flor Gown!  The enchanting gown is composed of a mesh skirt, flexi-skirt, and sculpted bodice!  The exquisite gown is available in original, violet, sea green, and light pink!

After I created my Cinderella look,  it was time to go to the ball!  My fairy godmother must have been watching me put together my look, because I found an elegant carriage pulled by unicorns awaiting me!
