More Than Meets the Eye

I usually visit Bare Rose a couple of times per week. June Dion releases a LOT of adorable and creative outfits with tons of options and layers. It’s paradise for the avid shopper, also because Bare Rose is totally affordable, so it won’t ruin your linden balance… kinda.. I mean.. if you just shop enough… everything is possible.

But well… this is not about me being a happy bankrupt again. I picked up the amazing “Over the Rainbow” steam punk outfit that comes with a plethora of cute sculptie attachments and played around with it for a while. I admit, I break Bare Rose outfits up a lot, because I do not always feel like wearing costumes, but single parts of those outfits are more than once the inspiration for the outfit I’ll wear that day. This time it were the gloves that caught my attention. They really are amazing, with sculpted cuffs and partially open on the fingers to give extra grip on whatever you choose to touch with it. So they were at the base of the outfit that I wear here. The gloves, and the pants. They have some stains on the thighs, like you whiped your hands on them too often.

If all goes well, next weekend we will celebrate the official opening of the Rue d’Antibes sim, so I have decided to take the freebie shape that is currently in the shop down sometime on the 29th, and get something fresh in there, just in time for the opening.

She’s lovely, sexy, non mod, but comes with a skirtshape as well, so while she’s still out there… go grab her.

Have a nice weekend!

Hello you all, I have made a set of new poses and they are inspired by this year’s spring campaigns. I have a passion for fashion magazines, and it’s just tremendous fun to see whether the poses you see in the spreads can be translated to SL without making your avatar look, uhm, well unhappy to say the least.

Anyways, hope you like them, they are available as usual for L$ 65 per pose, or L$ 500 for the entire set.

Grapevine is located in Rue d’Antibes: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Rue%20D

A couple of weeks ago Anita Cassini from IBM contacted me and asked me if she could use an old photo that I published more than a year ago on Second Style blog wearing Nicky Ree´s Snow Princess gown. And I was like, omg.. it´s old… I didn´t know a single thing about SL photography…. what do you want with it?? So she TP’d me over to this big hall, full of amazing photos of gorgeous avatars showing off Nicky Ree creations. It is an initiative called Art on Avatar and guess what… the exhibition is opening later today. Read Anita’s press release for info and SLurl.

The Crescent Moon Museum branch at IBM SOA Adventure presents:

[update 02/16] Due to unforseen circumstances the official opening of Rue d’Antibes is postponed a bit…. so the poses I gave you a preview on…guess i’ll be sitting on them some more… and maybe add another few

Wheeee! Thank you al so much for your feedback on the poses and the shapes. I’m so glad you like them. Upon request I have started to add the pose sets to onrez.com so that you can gift them easier. Shapes and their demos will follow. You’ll find them here

This is a preview on a miniset of 5 poses that will be available for just 1L$, only this weekend (February 16 -17) on occasion of the official opening of the Rue d’Antibes sim.

Just a quickie… PXL Creations has just released a Valentine’s version of their latest skin Crys and it is out there for you to grab for only L$1!! Hurry because it will be available only til February 16!!

It is a total new make up for Crys, with pink and golden eyes and a luscious deep pink lipstick. The cute little hearts on the cheek are an extra V-day touch.

Saturday the official opening of Rue d’Antibes sim will take place, and that will be a nice event with lots of fun and goodies for the visitors, so mark that in your busy schedules and let us make it worth your while.

Last Sunday Roslin and CJ re-opened their sim with a smashing Casino Royal themed party with lots of goodies on the TOS compliant roulette table. Even though my crappy and very lag sensitive computer made moving hard for me, I had a great time. No wonder, because the party took place in the newly build shop. It’s only a few weeks ago that CJ outdid himself on the railway station, which I loved and hate myself for not taking a good series of photos of it while I could, but this new build is truly grand. CJ got inspired by the Raffles hotel in Singapore, which in hospitality business is still an icon. I really think CJ is one of the most amazing builders in SL. This new build does also justice to the new location, as the sim was moved next door to Tropical Orchid, Nicky Ree’s sim. These talented content creators are neighbours now and we can probably expect some nice collaborations in the future.

On the occasion of the re-opening of Fleur (formerly Tête à Pied) Roslin and CJ released a new skin in their Boutique series: Shouju. A high quality, no seams, no blotchy details anime inspired skin that you’ll also love if you are not into anime/manga or that kind of stuff. Comes in 2 light skintones, the porcelain Lily and the slightly pinker Lotus and in 6 delicious make ups. The body is everything you may expect from Fleur skins. OK. just wanted to share this with you before I run off to work and drag myself into my every morning traffic jam. XOXO

PS sorry for the poor lighting on the body.. I just could not get it right last night
