More Than Meets the Eye

“Get your motor runnin’
Head out on the highway
Lookin’ for adventure
And whatever comes our way”

With or without your bike, The Mother Road is more than worth a visit. Be sure to agree to the Sim rules and the fence will open for you.

Comfy Sunday everyone!!! Anticipating the release of more colours of Très Blah’s Neato shirts on Monday, I’m wearing the grey version which was a 50L$ Friday item a couple of weeks ago.
I’m wearing it with Whippet & Buck’s Georgie Tapered Trousers in Taupe Grey and the light blue weaved belt form Sh*t Happens (FLF item). Also the necklace is FLF loot, from Whippet & Buck again (more colours please, ladies).
The grey flats are from fri.day, as is the Amelia hair in cranky brown. The dark Ife skin is a group gift Minnu sent to the Lelutka group earlier today.

Artis Natur  is a lovely place to visit and take pics. It changes with the seasons and right now it’s in spring splendor.  Trees and flowers made by Sachi Vixen of Adam ‘n Eve. She makes her treests look like they are straight from an impressionist painting, it’s REALLY gorgeous.

SLurls to Artis Natur and other places worth visiting as well as links to more photos can be found on the Explore! page

Mahari, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

Yesterday Zaara released her beautiful new dress Mahari, available in 6 beautiful colours. I’ve chosen the burgundy one to share on the blog. Since the dress itself is so rich and amazingly textured (look at the creases on the skirt!) it needs little to no accesoires. they would only distract from the dress.

I’ve been really happy with Blaze’s fatpack of pumps, ever from the moment i bought it, back in 2007 (or was it early 2008… I can’t remember… long time ago anyway!) but on days like today, I really tink it was a great investment, because the silk red matches perfectly with this dress!

Dutch Touch’s Maan fits me like a glove, and I keep going back to it, even if I still change skins quite often, but this Cherry make up is just lickable. And the Elysium hair in night from this week’s release at Truth is the finishing touch.

I’d like to thank Emilie Freund and Reda Bertolucci of NotSoBad for providing me with their latest release, the Sheherazade Riad house and matching furniture. It’s a lovely decor to take pics for the blog in.

Mmmmm.. yes… I saw Mimikri released these Anouk tops and I just had to have it! It has a boho chic touch, and I went for an Ibiza look with Surf Couture’s shack shorts (dark).

Skin Flick’s pink tortoise shell sunglasses and Zaara’s Vanisri wrapped necklace turquoise-silver are the accesoires to this outfit.

I’m wearing Truth’s Chalice in seaspray and Lelutka’s Ife light, make up 3.

Weelky Newness @ Truth: February 25, 2010, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

The tee says it all… this week’s release @ Truth’s is Fucking Fabulous. From left to right: Milla, Ben, Chalice and Elysium. Oh and there is a new build from the one and only Barnesworth Anubis who has gone out of his way to obtain maximum aesthetic result with minimal use of textures for your low lag.. well… LOWER lag shopping experience. However… detaching your combat systems, paranoia radars, anti inspection shields (you don’t want us to think you wear copied stuff, do you?) attention begging bellies and “present arse” AOs are ALWAYS a good thing before tp-ing anywhere.

The Northern German isle of Sylt has a SL version called Syltopia. The builders have managed to capture the distinctive caped shoreline and the beautiful low tide on this sim. Certainly worth a visit.

New page with places at Graziasl.com, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

I’ve added a new page with some pics of locations in SL which I thnk are worth exploring. There isn’t much there right now, but I will expand this section shortly, and if you have any tips to be included in this ever growing list, please feel free to send me an e-mail (graziahorwitz[at]gmail[dot]com) with a slurl or leave me a notecard with LM in world.

I plan to add maturity rating and whether or not you can (temporarily) rez objects for photoshoots and such.

[22:22] Jori Watler: we need to go there
[ 22:22] Jori Watler: Concrete Flowers

And we did… I got an adorable penis lollipop (unsure) on the local lucky chair, and after my G, Jori was the lucky girl too with  and got that very same gift. So don’t believe her EVER again when she says she doesn’t get any. But goofing aside, and it IS a shop full of goof and gadgets, there is also a collection of really wearable clothes. I couldn’t resist this striped Popanz Knit top (colour 1) and a number of other items, which I’m sure will make it to the blog sooner or later.

I’m wearing it with Reek’s Laundry Day Hoodie and Tiny Bird’s matching Laundry Day hair in Bistre. I’m in love with Surf Couture’s latest releases, and these shack shorts are among them, as are the boardwalk shoes, which I’ve featured in a LOTD post a couple of days ago, and likely will feature again in the coming days, because I just can’t seem to leave them off for long.

Today’s skin is Lapine Laudanum from L. Fauna (tan 1).

New Lapine make ups @ L.Fauna, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

Yay… just a quicky to show the gorgeous new make ups that Launa Fauna made for her Lapine skins with addictive names like Laudanum, Madame, Morphine, Opium and Overdose. With all the 2.0 excitement, and the pics I’ve been taking around SL since I came home from work last night, I’d almost forget about the newness.

I <3 Launa, she prettifies me
