Reader Appreciation giftie

Posted in shapes on June 5, 2009| 7 Comments »

[update July 2] As of today, the June shape is gone from my inventory. Thank you everyone who requested it. It’s nice to know so many people are following my blog! xoxo

[update] Thank you everyone who has asked a copy of my reader appreciation gift. If you haven’t yet, June is not over… you still have a couple of days

June gift, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

Hey people… It’s been a while since I made you a shape for free, actually, it’s been a while since I made any shapes at all. No, I’m not planning to re-open my business again, but I just wanted to show you a little appreciation for keeping up with my scribblings, and all your encouraging messages. Thank you for that!

So, I present to you June and some examples of what she looks like on different skins. June is not tall, not skinny, she has small boobs, a little junk in the trunk, and even a wee bit of a belly… oh and she detests bling. But if you want this cutie (no mod, because some people have been copying my previous gift… not nice) just send me a notecard in world with in the subject rule your full avatar name and June shape (and any feed back that you wish to share with me). If your name is not complete I won’t be able to send you the shape.

Please allow me some time to reply, and June will only be available throughout June.

Truth‘s new second hand jackets are friggin’awesome (pardon my French) I’m wearing smoke today, with the high waist shorts from Muism, and the bordeaux Hykova top from Whippet & Buck. The sole accesoire today is the lucky heart necklace from Artilleri.

I’m wearing Shiloh (coffee- flower girl), the latest addition to the Exodi skin ranges by the talented Ryker Beck. It’s so pretty. I really need to take some photos for a full review, but i’m feeling a little drained, so I’m postponing that to next week or so. My hair is Nico in coffee, from Maitreya.

Tiny Bird- She Sells Seashells, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

Autumn Hykova made such cute summer hair… She Sells Seashells… I just had to share. I usually tend to wear darker shades of hair, but the blondes at Tiny Bird are so full of win.

From the very first moment that I laid eye upon the plaid textures from Whippet & Buck, I’ve been a total fan of them. The Bardot Tartan Tube dresses are among the favourites in my inventory, and now there are these cute, frilly tops, and I’m vain enough to think Twiggy & Kota named them after me :-P. So I’m wearing the Grazia Frilly top in Electric today, and teamed it up with some work of another of my favourite content creators, Milla Michinaga from Michami. The fuchsia Anoorea skirt and dito Ebba scarf are really cute with W&B’s top. Another item that canbe worn with, wel, almost everything, are the Aidan bangles from Exodi (colour change on touch, and I’ve intensified the colour of the purple and the blue bangle).

I’m wearing ETD‘s Felicity in Cinnamon and the red/freckled beta of PXL‘s Kim (in addition to blonde, brown and black, the natural skintone of Kim will also have a red brow version)

And because for the 3rd day in a row it’s absolutely gorgeous weather here, I decided to get over my EMS and show some stomach! I’m wearing the new Beach Bum shirt and bikini top from Skin Flicks, and Kari‘s low rise Rebel jeans. Over that, I’m wearing the sarong from Mischief‘s white clasped bikini, which is WAY old and not available in the shop anymore. It used be out as a freebie for some time on Onrez, but I have not been able to find it on Xstreet :-(. Oh well… if you still have it hidden in your inventory, dig it up, it’s a good accesoire (jacket layer, so perfect fit). I love the Armidi turquoise vidalia pumps for their lush texture, but I don’t wear them often. This was a good occasion to put them on. For accesoires, I’m wearing a gold disc necklace by Persona and the blue Melange bangles from Zaara.

My mesh is covered in Tuli‘s Hope skin today (review later this week, release June 5) and I’m wearing Truth‘s Felicity hair (toffee).

Wilma Hijacked my Blog! <3

Posted in friends, MV-SL-Fashion, SLRFL on June 1, 2009| 2 Comments »

My name is Wilma Delgado and I’m a breast cancer survivor. This testimony was actually written last year during SL Relay for Life..but I felt like today was a good day to post it again. This is why I’m walking around the grid today looking like the offspring of Barney and Tinkerbell! In real life I just had my first haircut…only thing is..I sure don’t remember having this much gray mixed in with the blond! Oh well….I’m healthy and happy and I will deal with the gray in my own way. Thank God for good hairdressers and the magical potions they possess.

I’m a bit of a private person but I will tell you a bit about my reasoning for being so vocal about RFL.. I’m a cancer survivor! I was first diagnosed with breast cancer in August of 2004. I went thru chemo and radiation…thinking it was all over and done with. But, this wasn’t to be. I was diagnosed a second time in July of 2007. I finished my chemo in late March. I’m finishing up with my radiation now and I fully intend on being around to spoil my grandbabies SOMEDAY. My son is 22 and a senior in college. I will be here to see those grandkids. I know that. I feel it in my heart.

I think it is amazing at what we can do when we pull together and work towards the goal. SL RFL has been one of the most touching things I’ve ever experienced. I’ve been involved with RFL for many years and I was just as touched at the Survivors Lap in SL as I was my first survivors lap in so called real world. I sat in front of my computer on a beautiful summer day…I sat there all day…couldn’t tear myself away from the computer screen. Everyone came together for the same cause. This is a beautiful thing!

Cancer is a horrible disease but it doesn’t have to be a death sentence. Don’t look at me like I’m sick or a patient..just look at me. ..I’m a mom..I’m a daughter..a sister …a wife…a friend..I am you. Cancer can happen to anyone. Let’s just find a cure.

Please join me at Relay for Life and be generous. Help us Remember, Celebrate and Fight Back against Cancer!

Until there’s a Cure,

Wilma Delgado

Oh, I forgot this part..grins. I walked my Survivors Lap with my 79 year old mother. She is a breast cancer survivor of 40 years! I walked in our honor and in memory of my older sister that lost her fight to ovarian cancer at the very young age of 46.

Dollhouse

Posted in MV-SL-Fashion, new releases, skins on June 1, 2009| Leave a Comment »

Lion Jonesford from Lionskins likes to do collabs, likes to be challenged by the work of designers to make skins, matching skins and designs, sometimes with outrageous make ups, or, like this time, with a plethora of dollfaces. These pretty faces are all unique, and also the skin tones may vary, but they are all flawlessly smooth and cute.

Lion has a history as an airbrush artist, and it shows. She puts all kinds of funny details in the skins, not just in the faces, but sometimes also in the body. I love the “cracked” skin (no. 5), second row, second from the left, but also the crying doll (no. 4), same row, in the middle. Mind you, I’m wearing the same eyebrow shape with all the skins, Lion redesigned the brows for the crying face. Some of these dolls are a bit dark, emo or goth, others just plain lovely, but they are all fun to play with. (body shots after the cut)
