This week’s Blogger challenge is: Content Creator Appreciation
Blog about a content creator that does something a little extra that you wish other content creators did as well. It can be anything from those designers that take the time to do extra layers or anything else that you feel helps you out in your slife.

Please remember to link to your blogger challenge posts in the comments below so I don’t miss them and thanks ahead of time for participating! You can look up any previous challenges on this page and do them at anytime. <3

My pick this week is Rogan Diesel of Diesel Works.  I really appreciate the fact that he ALWAYS places a pose stand in all his individual pose releases. His pose stand is slim, sleek and scripted. When you click it, a menu pops up where you have options to rotate, hide/show the stand and also change through all the poses in that release.  It’s great for lazy asses like me that never get around to updating her pose stand every time she gets new poses.  It also helps to remember which pose I used when I just rez the stand in that folder. I know I only used the poses from that store and that release therefore remembering to credit it in my posts.

He just released these awesome mens poses this weekend and we used the stand that came with them to shoot these pics. It was quick and easy, so thank you Mr. Diesel for that extra effort, it’s much appreciated!

Also a big thank you to Mr. Catero Revolution for taking me on a shopping spree to Kari and posing with me for the pics. Since he’s sharing this blog post with me, he’d like to say a few words about the clothes we are wearing…which are from Kari!

Back in July 2008, after much encouragement and prodding, Dutch sculpty guru Menno Ophelia quietly opened his store, Kari, without much adoo.

Kari is a haven for comfortable casuals. With gently worn texturing, Menno has created a collection of canvas shoes, belts, hats, tees, posed objects and other funkdafied accessories that are must-haves.

For a limited time only, all items in-store are L$50!

Considering the craftmanship it’s a total steal.

Proceeds from the sale will go towards the medical costs of Menno’s real life friend who is undergoing treatment.

The sale is also a precursor to the relaunch of Kari.

See Menno’s sale notification @ http://www.plurk.com/p/8goset.

I’m so proud of myself for remembering to do Love Thursday two weeks in a row now. Let’s see how long this lasts! :D

Baiastice is one of my favorite stores for gowns. They recently released a huge fall collection and as always the gowns in the collection are breathtaking and I will be sharing some pictures in them soon. But what I was pleasantly surprised to see was the spectacular mens collection this fall. Pants, scarves, shirts and jackets all textured beautifully with perfect sculpting. The best part is, the clothes are so stylish, I didn’t have to put much thought into styling my male av, which is always a daunting task for me!

So if you would like to dress your boy avatar with style, make sure to stop by Baiastice and check out their new fall collection.

Happy Love Thursday everyone! <3

Mr. Raul Crimson has such a warm personality, when he talks to you it feels as if he’s giving you a big teddy bear hug. I’ve been following Mr. Crimson on flickr and his blog for a while now. I always found him to be incredibly good looking, sweet, good looking, caring, good looking, talented, good looking, stylish and btw did I mention good looking?

But in all honesty, he really is such a sweetheart and he always seems to be smiling. When I asked him what he loves about SL the most, he said something that really struck a chord with me. He said that there are so many possibilities to create, interact and socialize in this virtual world, but what the best part is how you end up loving the people you meet her.

People you have never seen or touched, you can grow to have such strong emotions for. I too have met many wonderful souls in this virtual world, and Mr. Crimson is definitely one of them.

Thank you for posing for me Mr. Crimson (sorry it took me forever to take the pics lol) and thank you for bringing so much positive energy and sunshine into my SL. <3

This week’s challenge:
Romance! What personifies romance to you? It can be anything, anyone or even just the mood.

I think pearls are the single most romantic accessory a girl can own. When I put on that perfect pearl necklace, I feel as if I am ready to be swept off my feet. Pearls remind me of elegance, class, style and age old romance in an old hollywood movie. A woman wearing pearls will usually be older, more sophisticated and absolutely stunning. Because of all this, she probably has a slew of gentlemen waiting to woo and romance her.

I know this week’s challenge will probably be a lot harder than last weeks since it may require a bit more thought but I do hope you guys are able to do it. And thank you once again to all those that did last weeks. If you didn’t get a chance to do last weeks yet and would still like to, feel free to at any time. You can look up any previous challenges on this page and do them at anytime.

Once again I request you guys to please link your posts in the comments below so I don’t miss them and thanks ahead of time for participating! <3

This week I was asked to do some photography work for Ozimals and I have to admit, it really brought my itch back for the bunnies. I had to give them all away several months ago since I was going on vacation for 2 months and no one would be able to take care of them. However, now that I had a chance to play with them again this week, I want some again. :(
