As you can tell, I just love strawberry-themed items. :D Once again I have Mr. Jefferson to thank for my new strawberry outfit. He got me this adorable strawberry bikini created by Karissa Silversmith of Touche which is located on the Eros sim where you will find a showcase for Teen Talent. It’s a great place to check out some of the fresh new designs. You will find a lot of cute and adorable items there. I just fell in love with this bikini.
The necklace I’m wearing matches so perfectly and the best part about it is that it’s named after meeeeee :D Fraise means strawberry in French and this adorable necklace will be available at Culture Shock tomorrow. Thank you Julia! <3
I also wanted to talk about some of the fabulous contests that are currently going on. The first one I wanted to mention (and the one I did this picture for) is the Skin Addiction contest. You can read all of the details on the Skin Addiction blog and submit your pictures to their flickr group. There are a ton of prizes to be won and the contest ends on May 18th.
The second contest is the Shoe Fair contest. Check out the Shoe Fair blog for all the details and submit your pictures to the shoe fair flickr group. Contest ends May 11th.
The third contest is the Hucci/N-Core Spring Photo Contest. There is a total of L$50,000 in prizes. Submit your entries to the Hucci and N-Core flickr groups. Contest ends on May 10th.
I admit to being a complete contest addict and hope to enter some of these. Good luck if you enter too!

There’s a few important things I wanted to talk about in this post, first I’ll start off with the Berry poses (that are named after yours truly) created by Takeshi Kiama of Frozen Panty (lol @ the store name). Keshi is absolutely phenomenal at everything he does, from his blogging, to his pictures and now he has started to make some very creative poses with props. This pose set is called the Berry pose set and it’s a very “spring-themed” set. The set comes with six poses and there are two single berries along with a bunch of berries that attach to your left and right hand. There is also a lovely basket full of strawberries that is included. The pose set should be in the store today so make sure to check it out. Thank you Keshi for naming this adorable set after me! :D <3
I was also fortunate enough to pose for a few other pose sets he’s recently created that I thought were just genius. Check out his flickr for all the details and join the Frozen Panty flickr group to share your pictures.
The other very important things I wanted to talk about today was the closing of Tiny Bird and Second Style. I was very saddened by the news of both closings. Not only because I adore the creator of Tiny Bird, Autumn Hykova, but also because she continuously created quality content for so many years. Her adorable dresses, hairstyles, hairbases are still some of my favs in my inventory. I wish her well, you will be missed Autumn. <3
Second Style is one of the first magazines I read as a newb and I was just in awe of all the glossy pictures and gorgeous avatars that resided within it. I am so happy I got the opportunity to be a part of it for two issues. I wish the Second Style team the best in all their future endeavors! <3

Mainit Hellman is probably one of the most sweetest and caring men you will meet in your SL. I’ve known Mainit on plurk for over 2 years now and one thing I’ve noticed about him is that he is very passionate. He’s passionate about everything he does in his life, be it SL or RL. And if he loves you like a friend, he’ll stick by you through anything. I know that one day he is going to make a very lucky girl extremely happy. Unless he already has because I kinda forgot to ask if he’s single, my bad….sorry ladies. :P
I know I’m gushing over him a little bit, but honestly he’s just full of sugar. But not only is he very sweet, he’s also quite talented. He creates incredible skyboxes, adorable little home furnishings and so much more. His store is called Baustein and you can check out the blog for more details.
While I was snapping away his sexy pixels (and srsly, isn’t he totally sexy?) I asked him what his favorite thing about SL was and he said that his favorite thing was the people that he’s met here and has connected with, they’ve become like family to him. <3 He's totally like one of those boys that you wanna take home to your mom cuz you know she's just gonna fall in love with him too.
Ok, I think I'm done embarrassing Mainit for today. You think he'll ever pose for me again? :P
I've got my eyes on some more guys I wanna grab for my male fashion posts very very soon…so stay tuned! :D

Tuli has released a new skin line by the name of Sara, and it is delectable. I love the way Tuli’s skins always make me feel pretty, girly and youthful. Sara comes in 10 gorgeous tones (fair, pale, peach, pearl, powder, sunkissed, tan, bronze, mocha and petal). I am wearing the bronze tone. Each tone comes with lots of makeup and tattoo makeup options. Also available are eyelash tattoos, three different brow options, cleavage options and several eyebrow shapers. Lots of options to choose from and play with for this absolutely beautiful skin, so take the slurl and check it out.
My colorful dress is called Kamasutra and is a new release from Fellini Couture. Now you know I am obsessed with anything bollywood and as soon as I put this outfit on and started dancing one of my fav bollywood songs popped into my mind. It’s called “mujhe rang de” and it kind of translates into “color me” It’s a fun and flirty song and I think suits this dress wonderfully. I love doing these kinds of pictures, I hope you like the song too! <3

Several months ago I blogged about a very neat little gadget that I loved! Well sit tight because tomorrow the second version of this gadget will be released. Pose Anywhere 2 is even bigger and better. It’s got several more new features to play with and will become a permanent fixture in my photo shoots.
First what you want to do is actually watch this below video tutorial by the creator DavidThomas Scorbal. He’s done a fabulous job of creating a very easy to follow video that outlines how to setup this hud easily. Here’s the link to his video but I’m also embedding it below: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvC0CMRhDbw
EDIT: David just informed me that he JUST uploaded a new video RIGHT NOW on youtube and if you watch it till the end you will find out how you can win a free copy of this hud. This video will also show you a really easy way for you to install your poses in this hud. Check out the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiH4sw_lfWk
Below is a video that I also made of this hud. You don’t REALLY need to watch this if you watched his already. You should watch his actually because his is way more informative. I just made the below video for fun cuz I was really excited about this so I am going to dedicate this video to Faint Paulse (she knows why :P).
Link to my video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmBjQIc1nQ8
So there you have it! I hope you get a chance to go to Pose Fair tomorrow and pick it up. Once again the slurl to Pose Fair will be announced tomorrow. You can follow it on plurk right now to keep up to date with it.
I wanted to tell you a funny story about how I ended up styling for this post. I had myself in a different blue outfit instead of the yellow dress when my father came into the room. Yes I still live with my family, a whole bunch of people actually, cuz my family’s well-off and I like being spoiled and treated like a princess :P (but mainly because of cultural reasons).
Anyhow, I digress. So my dad walks in and states that he doesn’t like what I’m wearing and that the blue is too boring and I need something brighter that suits my personality. I was going to blog this new yellow dress in the next post but then I put it on for him and he was just all over it. He was in love and then made me change my hair because he said the ponytail went better and also chose the necklace. I was literally trying not to bust out laughing because honestly I have never seen this side of him. So yeah, the styling in the yellow dress picture was done by my dad the doctor, cuz you know, he’s got so much style.
Perhaps my next post should be styled by my mom! LOL
