More Than Meets the Eye

In the ever popular category of “Couture” or “Runway” hair, I think Miamai is currently among the best. At Hair Fair Monica Outlander has some outrageous, yet not ridiculous, hair out which are absolutely fitting on the catwalk.

Lamb’s hair just makes me squee… shes among my all time favorite hair makers. These are some of her offerings at Hair Fair. What are you still doing here? TP!

Hey guys, I have put out some new poses at The Project Unicef  which will officially start in 2 hours. 100% of everything I have out there will go to charity, so come drop a couple of Linden$ if you’re so inclined.

TP directly to my board at Project Unicef and while you there… don’t forget to pickup the poses of Ms. Frootie Lemondrop as well, who has her set out on the adjacent board!!

Stylish at work today with my new sleeveless greyr turtleneck from Coco Designs and the black pencil stirt from the same brand. With the black Ruiz bag from Lelutka for the essentials such as  iPhone, lipstick, credit card and car keys. I am all set to go. Dela’s black Silvera pumps are elegant, but not killing your feet after a couple of hours, and Insolence’s stockings from the Elsa lingerie set (not visible, but definitely there) are a must. After all, a lady wears her stockings, even when it’s awfully hot.

Artilleri’s Paula glasses are my all time favourite. Low prim, low lag and so well done and the Aludra earrings from Rozoregalia are really all the jewelry you’ll need.  I’m wearing Atomic’s Morgan, which is this week’s Stumblebum item (full line will be released later) and Mirone’s Faye hair in platinum.

Look at these beautiful new make ups for Lola which were released just the other day by Ms. Fauna. Did I ever mention how much I like playing with Lola’s customization options like the eyebrows and the lips? these are as is… but you can achieve some pretty spectacular effect by playing with those sliders! I did play around with the eyebrows for this picture, so match them with Kin’s white cricket hair, and SLink’s latex!

Willowzee just published a themed blog post for a plurky blogger challenge issued by Alysha Rennahan (are you still with me?) this week’s theme is Oldies but Goodies… so that’s a perfect reason to rummage through the depths of my ever chaotic inventory (as if  I needed one) and come up with some memory lane goodies, for which I still have a soft spot.

I’m wearing ETD’s Sea nymph hair in sea drift. It was a LE that Elika did in collab with Ginny Talamasca for the Sea Nymph outift. I’m still lucky to have it. I believe the entire batch of gowns was gone within a couple of hours after they were released. Elika was more merciful, and kept this style up in the shop for a month or so,  so that everyone could get it.

My skin is an old one from Lovey, Cantaloupe in caramel. Rumors are that  Lovey was an alt from Gala Phoenix, which does make sense if you study the 2 skins in edit mode, since they are the only one cutting out the face textures like that on a transparent back ground.  I must admit that I like the pouty lips on Lovey skin better than the current pouts on most of Gala’s skins though, as I still believe they are exaggerated on the average mouth shape of SL females *coughs* baboon butts *coughs* .

Miriel oh Miriel… why did you leave us… at least I still keep some of your marvelous jewelry, as well as your fabulous eyes in my inventory. I’m wearing the pewter ones. Despite  several awesome eyes on the market nowadays, I still am smitten with the clarity and the softness of these eyes.

My clothing is from Luminosity. A brand by Sol Columbia. She, along with Nyte Caligari were about the first content creators I ever bought from. And back then, Sol had a shop in Nyte’s build on the sim that she and Elika shared. Later Sol and Lur (sol’s sl partner and fab scripter) moved to an adjacent sim of their own and had the most gorgeous wood cabin I have ever seen for a shop. Unfortunately Sol left SL after a series of wrist issues and SL acting up on asset server issues (I believe that was somewhere in the late spring of 2008) but to date I have never been able to delete 2 of her outfits, Route 66 from which I’m wearing the top and Sela,  from which I picked the skirt.

My shoes are the revamped t-straps from Shiny Things, which actually may still be in Fally’s shop. I’m so happy to see that Fallingwater, after a hiatus of more than a year, has created some new things in the past few months and hasn’t left completely. Also Polyester Partridge, from Yummy, whose Momento Locket I’m wearing, is still pretty much around over at Tableau. Her latest newness was released on Tableaus summer market event, around 2 months ago.

Soooooooo… that’s my oldies but goodies contribution…

Over the past few days weather has surely given us the impression in my part of the world that summer is over. Huge amounts of rain pouring down, wind causing trees to crash (unfortunately also the famous Anne Frank chestnut tree that she could see from the attic window)  and, oh well… it’s time for fall!

Jip and Yri are the two lovely new faces at Dutch Touch.  With an improved body shading and make ups a plenty, these are just must haves. Jip is available with dark brows only, Yri comes with brown (also suitable for the more fair headed among you) and red. For Jip, Iki has made some gorgeous liptsticks on the tattoo layer, but you’ll find that they might also work with some of your other DT skins.  All skins have bald and hairbase versions, freckle options and cleavage versions.

Visit Dutch Touch to try on the demos. Jip and Yri might look different on you because of your shape

I have been practicing in Photoshop a lot lately, trying to make my photowork better and finally I feel like I am getting somewhere. My latest bit of work is this desaturated pic showing off Hunain’s latest ink  ”Let’s Fly”.  I’m generally supportive of what my friend and fellow blogger makes, though I’m usually also the one who is sending him back to the drawing board again and again, but occasionally he comes up with a design that I really love like Whoa!  This is one of them. When we first talked of the idea of making a wing tattoo it wasn’t really working out, so the idea was put to rest. And all of a sudden, Let’s Fly took shape in Hui’s head, and made its way to the avatar mesh.

Anyway, I’m rambling again… it’s way too early for me to be blogging anyway, so I’m off for some serious breakfast. I hope you like both the photography I’ve been doing lately, as well as Let’s fly which is available at HUZ Tats in black, gold and a tintable white, all on the tattoo layer. viewer 2.1 required becaue of the tintable tattoo layer.
