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!

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

In a few days Glam Affair will be releasing a new skin by the name of Linn. Linn will come in 5 skintones (Light, Natural, Tan, MedTan and Dark) I am wearing tan. Each tone will come with dark and light brows as well as a hairbase option. I love the luscious lips on this skin. Each makeup looked phenomenal with these lips, but my heart went out to these gorgeous red lips. Keep an eye on the Glam Affair flickr to know when its released. You can check out a raw shot of myself wearing this skin that I shared in a plurk earlier today to get an idea of how the skin really looks without all my photoshopping.

I’ve been meaning to mention my new favorite eyes in a post for a while now. Before I left for vacation I had asked plurk about some eyes I had seen and desperately wanted. Surprisingly the talented gentleman that created those eyes is also on plurk. Fashism eyes by Ikon Innovia have become my new favorite eyes now and I have been wearing them over a month. I did a few pics in them already that can be found on my flickr. There are so many gorgeous colors to choose from but I especially love these deep warm sunrise that I’m also wearing here.

So if you are a hermit like me and have never been to Fashism, definitely check them out. You will not be disappointed!

One thing I wanted to point out before I end this post. I made a big photographers mistake and did not right-click on the prim earrings to make them fully rez before snapping all these pics. The earrings you see me wearing in this post are not exactly what they look like. The originals also have some gorgeous pearls dangling from them. You can see a proper pic of them here.

So I’m gonna be totally honest with you guys. I’ve been going through a lot recently and it’s been affecting every aspect of my life; from my decision making (or lack thereof) to my irrational behavior and my complete disregard for people’s feelings. It’s almost as if I’m on this train that’s going 1000 miles per hour and there’s just no way to stop it and if I stop to think and look around too much, it’s just going to make me dizzy. I don’t even know if I’m making any sense right now. All I know is, I feel lost. But as lost as I feel, the train ride is kinda fun. I guess I’ll just shutup and see where I end up.

So yeah, totally rambled there but hey, that’s what blogs are for! Not like anyone really reads this stuff anyways. Most of you are just lookin at the pretty pictures and checking out the credits now, right? Yeah, that’s what I thought. :P

To view the above restricted picture on my flickr stream, check your safe search settings.

A couple of days ago I discovered that my account on flickr was flagged, therefore marked as restricted. That basically means my account would be inaccessible to people that did not have a flickr account, were not over 18 and also resided in certain countries such as Germany, Singapore, Hong Kong, India, Korea and more I’m not sure of. I’m usually very careful about setting the correct safety levels on my pictures, but I guess I had missed something.

So after going through all my pictures, I sent it over to flickr staff to review and the next morning my account was marked safe once again. :) I’m really happy with flickr’s response and I’ve decided I am going to be extra careful about marking my nude photography as restricted. I will also include some lingerie and swimwear shots as such to be on the safe side.

Since I’m planning to do all of that, I figured I’d do a quick tutorial to show you guys how to setup your flickr account so you are able to see my restricted pictures on my flickr, especially from my bare series. I love it when you guys leave me comments and fav my pictures, therefore I do want to make sure y’all can see them, so here goes!

First, create a flickr account and then make sure you are over the age of 18 before you continue! :P Now, you want to go into your safe search settings. You can do that by clicking on this link or by going to:
http://www.flickr.com/account > Privacy & Permissions tab > then “edit” the Search settings at the bottom below “Content Filters”

After clicking, you will see something similar as the screenshot above. ^^ You want to make sure you have turned Safe Search “off” and under “Content Type” and “Media Type” checkmark everything.

One thing I noticed after I had my account reviewed by flickr staff, I had my pictures set to photos and the staff had changed them all to screenshots. I am not going to change that since that’s what they set it at, so it’s really important you guys enable all the content types or you may not be able to see all the images in my stream and the streams of other SLers.

Once you’ve gone through all these steps, you should be able to see all the public content on my flickr stream. If not, then you probably reside in one of the countries where restricted content is not accessible, but you should be able to still view the safe content on my stream. I hope y’all do this and if you have any questions, feel free to email me or check out the flickr help section about content filters.
