This month Zodiac focuses their attention on Aries. Aries is symbolized by the ram. The ram has come to represent attitude and courage. Aries natives are said to be leaders and are thought to approach life head-on. You can check out the Seraphim blog to see all that’s available at Zodiac this month.
I’m wearing the gorgeous Aries skin by Essences and the fairest of them all necklace by House of London. And my personal favorite, I’m using the confident Aries poses from Exposeur. I adore that these are so full of attitude and the best part is, they are only L$75! So take the slurl and head on down to Zodiac now.
The shoes I’m wearing are a new release from Maitreya. There is a special offer on these shoes right now if you are in the Maitreya VIP Group. When you go to the footwear/mesh section in Maitreya, you’ll notice the VIP shoes on the top shelf along with the rest of them, but they will be at a reduced price. Just make sure to enable your tag and you’ll get them at the reduced price. This promo only lasts one month, so teleport now to pick them up.
I wanted to go with a heavy eyelash with this look, but the hair I’m wearing was messing with my mesh lashes. So I decided to wear my tattoo lashes that I recently put up in my marketplace store. About two years ago I was goofing around in photoshop and created some tattoo lashes which I sent to my group inworld. Since then, from time to time, people would IM and ask me for them. I have long since deleted those ones now (I didn’t really like them). However I still kept getting requests so I made up five new ones for fun and put them up last week. You’ll find them at this link. I wear them underneath my mesh lashes for a fuller look sometimes as well. If you try them out, let me know what you think!
Finally, I wanted to bring up something that happened recently to a content creator, which I was pretty shocked to hear. Lilith Heart was recently banned from SL for 24 hours with no explanation whatsoever. I asked my friends on plurk if anything like that ever happened to them and they all responded with more of their own horror stories about being banned with no explanations. This whole thing has kind of freaked me out and I wonder how often does this happen to people? Has it ever happened to you? It’s never happened to me, but the thought of it is kind of scary.

For those with significant others, the countdown to Valentine’s Day has already started and possibly preparations for it as well. If you had sexy lingerie on your shopping list for that day, then look no further than Countdown itself. Countdown offers texture lingerie that also has Lolas Tango appliers available. I’m wearing the Triumph Bodysuit in pink, it’s available in six beautiful colors. I didn’t get a chance to bust out my lolas for this picture but the bodysuit does have appliers for them.
Also, do you see the gorgeous heart necklace I’m wearing? How would you like to enter a raffle for a chance to win it in real life? All the details are on the Maxi Gossamer Jewelry blog. Basically you just have to purchase the Second Life version of that necklace that I’m wearing and your name will be entered into the raffle and you will have the chance to win the Sterling Silver real life version of that pendant. How exciting is that?!? So take the slurl over to the Maxi Gossamer mainstore now for a chance to win!
Finally, there are two events that will be starting on Valentine’s Day as well, which I will be blogging about later today and tomorrow so be prepared for a fun-filled V-day! <3

Been listening to that all day so I had to share. I’m trying to catch up with all the work that’s piled up from taking time off, hopefully I’ll have more time to blog in the coming weeks. I really wanted to blog this dress by SySy’s which is available at FaMESHed right now. SySy has been creating some awesome original mesh designs recently so you guys should definitely drop by her store and check them out.
Hope you’re having a fabulous Saturday! <3

What better way to start the new year than get a boob job, right? :D
I have been seeing massive amounts of mesh boobs all over flickr and blogs for months now and I figured it was something I might try eventually, but not right now. Then last night, I tried it and boy was it an adventure. I’m going to have to blame all this on two of my best friends and some other plurk friends. You can see all the enablers in the following two hilarious plurks:
“So do I need to get these boob thingamajiggers?” and “I GOT BOOBS!”
So here’s the deal. I tried the Lush demos by Riann Maltese available at this slurl but I didn’t end up getting them (even though I liked them very much and they are L$1050 which is cheaper than the tangos) but apparently they did not have many skin appliers out for them. So I thought I should just skip it for now. I heard the tango clothing appliers work on them though, so you could possibly give them a try.
I purchased the mesh tangos from Lolas available at this slurl. I did that mainly because my current fav skin designers had appliers out for them, such as: Glam Affair, PXL and Al Vulo. The Lolas did not have a demo and they were L$1750…but as my friend Faint Paulse said, “if you want a top notch surgeon, and implants with high quality silicon or some shit, you gotta shell out.” LOL She makes me laugh on a daily basis. She also has a lot of quality clothing with appliers for the tangos available at her store, Ladies who Lunch. I especially love this cocktail dress.
One thing to note is that I made these breasts a lot smaller than people usually would. I made them a size I was comfortable with, but when I did that I got seams. Seams are not visible if you make them a bit bigger. I photoshopped my seams out but they really aren’t that noticeable. I have a raw shot at this link on my profile if you’d like to see. Also, more raw shots with a frontal view showing the seams in my plurk here.
More and more designers are making skin and clothing appliers for the tangos, I hope they also do for the lush as I find them both quite nice. Mesh boobs are just another fun thing to play with. I always like to try everything, mesh droids, mesh avatars, mesh eyeliner, mesh eyes, mesh hands, mesh feet and I’m glad I tried these mesh boobs as well. I’m probably not going to wear them often but I will definitely bust them out (pun intended) for some nice pictures like I do with my mesh feet and hands.
Finally, one of my favorite things about these mesh breasts is the amount of time it actually saves me in photoshopping. The shape is something I have tried to achieve before getting them, for example: in this picture which is pre-mesh boobs. That image took me hours and hours to do just because I had to shape the sl avatar boobs. The pictures in this post took me 30 minutes tops.
So these are my thoughts on mesh breasts…how do you feel about them?
BTW, this is what I was listening to while working on these pics: Mercy by Duffy

The title of this post actually has nothing to do with what I’m wearing. The reason for the title is because I’m pretty happy about the fact that Breakfast at Tiffany’s is one of the 25 films to be chosen by the Library of Congress to be preserved in the National Film Registry this year, details at this link. It’s not a huge deal but it’s definitely one of my most favorite movies, it’s right up there with Princess Bride, so I’m happy to see it getting recognized this way.
Now on to what I’m wearing! A few days ago I did a post about the new gorgeous gowns from Baiastice. This is another one of them. I had to blog this one because I fell in love with the golden glitter version of this dress. This Mana dress comes in two versions, stars and glitter. Both of these versions also come in a variety of colors and also look great with the Baiastice velvet mesh gloves as shown below. All of the dresses have been released and are in the store now so take the slurl and pick up a fabulous holiday dress fit for a queen!
I took all of these images at Japan Tempura Island. It’s been around for years and there are so many spots to take stunning pictures at. Recently the owner of the sim created a flickr group that I just added all of my Tempura Island pictures to. If you’re like me and have taken a lot of pictures there over the years, check out the Tempura Island flickr group and add all your pics as well!
