After skimming through my out-of-control inventory earlier this morning, I realized that this is the first League skin I have ever owned. I am totally shocked about that myself. Not sure why I didn’t get my hermit self there before but I’m really glad I did this time because this Jen skin is just outstanding. I’m so in love with it. It’s very rare that a skin has everything that I’m looking for. I especially love this tone on me. Check out all the details to Jen on Nena Janus’ flickr.

I’m probably going to get yelled at by Zaara for blogging this new lingerie set already, but I just couldn’t help it. Ever since she sent it to me a few days ago, I just didn’t want to take it off. It’s not set to release for at least another week though, sorry about that. The color combinations are amazing, I can’t wait for you guys to see them. There will be 6 color combos and I’m wearing the oreo. The name of the lingerie is Aksaka which means “sensual” in sanskrit and suits this style perfectly. Join the Zaara inworld group or subscribe to the Zaara blog to be the first to know when she releases.

Finally, I thought I would share this site, PicMonkey.com, because I find it so useful as well. If you want to do a quick edit on a pic or if you don’t have Photoshop or another photo editing program, I think you’ll find PicMonkey to be very helpful. The frames you see on these images were placed there using that site, it literally took me 2 minutes to do both images. They have lots of editing options and neat things to play with, so definitely check it out and have a little fun with your pictures!

Joan is a stylish new dress from Icing. It comes in 6 sensational colors: black, blue, green, red, white and I’m wearing purple. Miko Omegamu does system skirts so well, I am wearing my system skirt shape for this dress. It’s exactly like my regular shape except with slightly smaller hips and booty. I feel so sophisticated and curvy in this dress. It also comes with a leaf & feather hat with an option for a veil. I adore the veil, it adds so much class to the whole look.

Joan will be released later today so join the Icing update group inworld or keep an eye on the Icing blog so you can be one of the firsts to get your hands on it.

The skin and necklace I am wearing are both currently available at Culture Shock from Glam Affair and Lassitude & Ennui.

This Sakura skin from Glam Affair is slowly rising to the top of my favorites list. I love how it looks on my shape and now it is available in 5 delicious skin tones (Light, Natural, MedTan, Tan and Dark). I am currently wearing the Tan but I adore all of the tones, especially the Dark. A big thank you to ALL of the designers that take the time to do awesome dark tones for their skins. <3

It was love at first site when I saw the necklace from Lassitude & Ennui. I first noticed it on plurk and I made it a point to go back to Culture Shock to pick it up. It's gorgeous and definitely one you want to pick up when you go.

Speaking of Culture Shock, I just wanted to take a moment to thank the organizers for displaying my art there, it really is an honor to have it up there amongst so many other amazing artists. Thank you Culture Shock team! <3 Take the slurl to Culture Shock and check it out guys!

More new shoes? Yes please! I just got my hands on these gorgeous new Lelutka Pow pumps and I know I settled for black in this post but they just made the outfit. Keep in mind that there are many more color combinations and trust me when I say you will be seeing more posts with these beauties sneaking in. Check out the Lelutka blog for more details about the pow pumps.

Please Note: I’m afraid the angle and closeup that I took might make them and my feet look very big and not proportionate with the rest of my body, however please be assured that inworld they most definitely are proportionate. Thank you <3

Nardya Rousselot of NX NARDCOTIX is about to release the MANA Footwear Collection. This release will occur on Sunday, June 13 at 1pm SLT and there will be 7 different and stylish shoes to choose from. This is the first time NARDCOTIX is releasing a collection of this sort, with prim feet attached and I must say, each shoe is so pretty and well done.

To celebrate this collection, they are having a fun blogger challenge where 3 lucky winners will receive a MANA color pack of their choice. All you have to do is read the questions on their blog and then go to the list of blogs to find the answers hidden in the posts.

Now, onto the shoes, I have the pleasure of introducing the Chelo Wedges to you. These summer wedges are textured so well and look almost like real jute heels with their natural and tough fabric that you would find in real life. The hud is fast and simple to use and contains 10 different preset skintones to choose from and tint. The shoes are also scripted so you have the option to change them into 12 different colors, including everyone’s favorites: black, red, pink, brown, beige, ivory, and many more.

But the best and most unique part about the MANA footwear collection is the Nail Art. Each shoe comes with two nail packs, but you can actually purchase more nail packs that are so artistically done. I have never seen anything like it and I know you guys are going to have so much fun with that. So before you purchase your new MANA’s be sure to get a spa pedicure at the NARDCOTIX new mainstore.

Is it just me or is pot dude totally checking out my ass?

Good luck with the challenge, I hope you win! <3

Recently I’ve noticed a few comments on blogs, flickr and even plurk regarding the kind of people that use plurk for social networking. Plurk is getting to be known as a place where “drama queens” reside with timelines full of emotionally unstable rants and witch-hunts, 24/7. Although I admit that might be the case for some plurkers, but let me assure you, there is another side of plurk that you may not be aware of.

Plurk will always hold a special place in my heart, because after all, it is the place where I first met the love of my slife. During these past two years on plurk, I have gotten to know many people, made a lot of new friends that I wouldn’t have otherwise and discovered many new stores and places to visit in Second Life.

Take today’s outfit for example. I would never have known Tuli sent out this beautiful skin to her group since I do not read the Fashion Feed everyday if it wasn’t for my plurk friends spamming my timeline with it. :P Yesterday, I felt like shoe shopping and all I had to do was ask plurk and I got a ton of responses therein resulting in a major shoe shopping spree where I found the beauties I am wearing today.

I admit, I also do have my off days where I will go off on a rant or do an emo plurk. However, I do my best to surround myself with positive people so I can be nauseatingly happy and piss off all the jealous emo people! (Yes the rumors are true, I AM evil)

No but seriously, most of my timeline is full of me plurking about food, spamming my flickr pics, sharing my favorite bollywood songs, revealing my deepest darkest secrets, calling people meanies, demanding kisses, sharing too much information and sometimes I really have nothing to say at all. But more than anything, I just like to be goofy, torture people and make them laugh! <3

So you see, it's not all drama 24/7. It's actually a lot of fun and helps me get through the day with a lot of laughs. You just need to know who to befriend and who to follow. So you can start by befriending me! I promise I’ll be nice (maybe).

Finally, I just want to take a quick moment to thank each and every one of you that has left a comment on my blog, IMed me, emailed me or private plurked me to thank me for the tutorials. I couldn’t have done them without Catero Revolution’s help. Also please note it is the plurkers that gave me the idea to do the tutorials in the first place, so you actually have them to thank for that! I will be working on the last two very soon and they should be coming up in the following week.

Thanks for reading and have a great weekend. I hope I see you on plurk! <3

At Theosophy you will find beautifully handcrafted home decor created by the talented Trace Osterham. From kitchen utensils, to bath bombs to different but interesting photo displays. Although there is only a small selection right now, the quality and craftsmanship of the items is superb and I can’t wait to see what’s coming next. My favorites of course are the rubber ducks! <3
