Photography by Geanna Lanley

Today’s blog post is about another blogger actually, her name is Geanna Lanley. Geanna is working on a very special project that I’ve been following and am a big fan of. So when she asked me to pose for her project as well, I was really excited and flattered. Geanna’s project is a blog by the name of shotmesl where she photographs different avatars on the grid. It is a great blog to peruse and look through all of the creative and beautiful avatars Second Life residents have created.

You can check out the post about me on Geanna’s blog at this link. A big thank you to Geanna for including me in her wonderful project and taking such beautiful pictures of me. Also a thank you to Ms. Zaara Kohime for spoiling me with a custom color of my favorite lehenga for this shoot. <3 I hope you get the time to check out Geanna’s blog, you might even find some familiar faces!

Today has been a crazy and busy day for me in RL, so it was great to come back home to find the post about me. Another thing I found was one of my images was chosen for Second Life’s Picture of the Day today. Thank you Linden Lab! <3

Photo by Nathan Chaffe

As promised in my post yesterday, the first image you see in this post was created by the talented Mr. Chaffe. When he first sent it to me, I gasped out loud. I absolutely love his work and I am so honored and thankful that he took the time to shoot such an amazing pic of me. Thank you Nathan! <3

I decided to create a second picture for this blog post because I wanted to use one of my favorite poses by one of my most favorite posemakers. The pose in the second picture is by Dove Swanson of Long Awkward Pose. I was really sad to hear that she's decided to close up her shop. In fact, we all walked down memory lane the other day on plurk, thinking of all the good times, time flies by so fast. Everything at Long Awkward Pose is on a final closing sale now, so don’t forget to drop by and pic up her memorable poses before they are off the grid forever.

After years of begging, pleading, threatening and blackmailing Ms. Zaara Kohime, she has finally listened to me and made my most favorite jewelry set on the grid in a silver metal now. You have no idea how happy I am about this. I just want to live in these jewels for the rest of my slife now.

You will find the silver pieces at the Zaara mainstore, upstairs right beside the gold pieces. The silver pieces will be clearly labelled silver. Zaara has also gone ahead and put them all in her marketplace store. You will find the fatpacks and also all the pieces available individually on the marketplace. Here’s a link to the silver colored stones fatpack and now the link to the one I’m wearing, the silver white stones fatpack.

Finally, before I go, I wanted to speak about my eyes a little bit. Ever since I blogged the FATEeyes, I have received all sorts of different mesh eyes from many other content creators. I have to admit, they are all amazing in their own little ways. I’m going to try and blog a couple of the ones that I really ended up liking. The ones I’m wearing in the second picture are by Anara Aeon. The great thing about these eyes is, they also come with a hud that gives you many options to choose from. I ended up sticking with these silver/grey eyes, you can pick up a demo here and try it out for yourself.

I love that more and more content creators are making mesh eyes. The level of detail that some of these eyes have is just amazing and cannot be compared to non-mesh eyes. I hope you get a chance to pick up some mesh eyes soon and see the difference in detail yourself! Happy shopping! <3

Ashraya, which means shelter in sanskrit, is an organization based in India which operates with the purpose of providing aid to Indian children in need and abused women through the implementation of various projects. The Ashraya Project in SL opens tomorrow, May 5th, and the proceeds will go towards this wonderful organization.

There are many events planned for this project, including fashion shows and parties, check out the Schedule of Events page for all the details. The Ashraya Project will run from May 5th till June 4th.

I’m wearing a mesh sari from Bilo that will be available tomorrow at this event in many bright and beautiful colors. The proceeds from the purple one I’m wearing in the second picture will go towards the charity. What I love most about this sari is, it can be worn with or without the dupatta.

Bilo is a new brand to me which I noticed on plurk a few weeks ago. You’ll find lots of gorgeous mesh dresses here. Check out Bilo on Marketplace for more of their designs.

Remember, all of the festivities start May 5th at 10am slt. Check out Editorial Clarity’s blog for event details and slurls.

My apologies ahead of time because this post might be a bit picture heavy. I got my hands on this gorgeous new skin from PXL a few days ago and I have been having loads of fun snapping up pics in it. Kate has now been officially released and you can find it at the PXL mainstore. Check out the PXL blog for all the details on Kate and see pictures of the 6 tones it comes in. I’m wearing the dark tone in this post. For a raw shot of me wearing this skin, check out my plurk here.

The rest of the items I’m wearing are all mesh. I am so excited to be fully meshed out. Starting with my clothes, my tank is from coldlogic and my jeans are from Maitreya. These are two of my favorite shops for stylish mesh items at the moment.

My hair is from Discord Designs and I am so happy to see my most favorite braids are available in mesh now. There is more mesh goodness being released from Discord Designs, check out the flickr for pics.

The bag and shoes I have are also both mesh and both are exclusives at OGlam right now. Check out the OGlam blog for all the other details and exclusives.

The earrings I’m wearing are also mesh and are available at Aura. You will find many other gorgeous mesh items at Aura.

Finally, I am so totally loving these new poses from Diesel Works. They are named Colleen and they are just full of attitude!

I hope y’all have a wonderful Easter weekend. Happy shopping everyone! <3

It’s been a while since I’ve done a male fashion post on my blog so I thought I should bring it back with a bang by introducing you to one of the sexiest men in my friend list. I’ve known Mr. Claudius Fouroux for a few years now and I cannot say that I have ever seen him look anything but completely drool worthy. He may look like a gorean master to you in this post, however, he’s one of the most brilliant male stylists I’ve seen on the grid. Every time I have seen him he always has a completely new look that he’s been playing around with. My favorite was when he had his dreadlocks, I was just swooning! I wish I had taken a pic back then.

Rumor has it that Mr. Fouroux is quite the ladies man, although I haven’t really seen anything to back that up, but I thought I should mention it in any case to make this post more scandalous. Sorry Claud, but you knew I was gonna throw you under the bus when you signed up for this! <3

When Mr. Fouroux is not busy being his incredibly handsome self in SL, I really have no idea what else he does or what his likes and dislikes are. He’s actually kind of a mystery. I know he used to be a fashion blogger back in the day, but I really haven’t seen him doing much lately. Perhaps we should all do some investigating. :P

A big thank you to Mr. Claudius Fouroux for taking the time out of his busy shagging schedule and posing for me. Also a big thank you to Miss Zaara Kohime for joining us in this photoshoot to be one of his harem girls.
