Shizuka

Shizuka is a Japanese word meaning quiet or calm and I tried to capture that in these photos, not sure if I succeeded. Shizuka is also the name of the hair I am wearing. It’s from Vanity Hair and they are currently having a contest where you can win L$5K and all sorts of other prizes. Check out the Vanity Hair official flickr contest group for all the details.

Speaking of contests, don’t forget that you only have a few days to enter the LE.LOOK! your style contest. Check out the LE.LOOK! blog for all the details and a chance to win L$10,000!

The Tang Empress Gown is one of the first gowns I ever bought in SL, back in 2007. Designer Nicky Ree has created some of my most favorite gowns on the grid. I’m sure I’ve blogged and photographed this one a million times already, but it’s just something I keep going back to because it has such a presence. It’s available in many colors in her mainstore and her marketplace store as well.

This Abi skin is the latest female release from Birth. Abi comes in 4 tones (Pearl, Honey, Sunkissed and Milky), two cleavage options and a wide variety of makeups. Take the slurl and try on a demo at the Birth mainstore.
