As with all forms of cancer, early detection is your best chance of surviving, or being cured from breast cancer. Yet there are so many myths surrounding the disease, some of them downright ridiculous, others sound more plausible and are really persistent.

October is Pink Ribbon month, or breast cancer awareness month. and aside from regular self examination, I can highly recommend educating yourselves on some (semi-) professional sites like:

Susan G. Komen Foundation

Internet Based Moms

National Breast Cancer Foundation

American Cancer Society

Breastcancer.org

and there is so much, much more

To help raise a couple of bucks to support research and improve awareness, Diconay Boa, the owner of Body Study! has made this cute set of undies, which sells for 300L$ (1,18 USD) and all proceeds go to the ACS. I think you owe it to yourselves, your sisters, mothers, friends, not only females, but males as well (as approximately 1700 men get diagnosed with breast cancer, and which is usually harder to treat) to go get a set and donate some for the cause. Here’s the LM: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Mar%20De%20Lagrimas/177/129/60

Other stuff worn: Cupcakes Daydream cameo Simmer, Truth’s Yvonne in platinum, and Donna Flora’s Laura necklace.

Yes, there are definitely some skin makers around who have my special attention whenever they release a new skin line. Rosemary Galbraith & Mimi Coral are definitely among them.  I found Mimi’s skins early in my SL and have worn them ever since, and when Rosemary came out with her first skins, I was smitten with the cute faces. Ever since they teamed up, they have been diligently enabling my skin addiction with tons of make ups and vast ranges of skin tones. The latest in their collection is Daydream, in a whopping 11 (!) skin tones and so far 15 make ups and a bare version. They have tintable eye brows, so you can easily adjust them to your hair color of choice and there are freckles as well. The body has evolved massively since they released their Celebrity skin earlier this year. The body base, I think, is still the Celebrity base, but all of the hardness has disappeared, and the body now looks soft and feminine and very, very pretty!  Check the slideshow, there are some body shots as well!

Did I mention Cupcakes usually has great deals on their fat packs? A single skin retails for 1000L$, but the fat packs of 10 are 3k and the 5pack is 1750 L$! Not to mention the special prices on some skins and the frequent bogo and/or card sales that are randomly held and announced in the Cupcakes update group.

Other stuff: I’m wearing Fusemenlon’s Ladybug shirt, and Truth’s Madison hair in espresso.

Rose and Mimi from ❤ Cupcakes have added 10 new delicious make ups to their Enchanted skin line. I couldn’t resist getting the fatpack for a number of reasons:

1) they’re pretty!!

2) they are SO pretty!!

3) they are only 3000 L$ for the fatpack of 10 make ups

4) they REALLY are pretty!!

5) Cupcakes currently has a 60% (!) off card sale… so, pay 3.600 for a card.. and you can buy up to 9.000 on anything in the shop (or buy a smaller card and yet you will be able to buy a lot 🙂 )

… I did mention the prettiness… did I?

Other than Cupcakes Enchanted I’m wearing Truth’s Heidi hair in walnut and the new lounging set from Elymode (snuggly must have!). The cherry blossom tattoo is from Aitui

Mimi and Rosemary of Cupcakes have made another skin, Enchanted. She’s gorgeous. For now there are 10 make ups and a natural face and knowing them, more additions are in the making.

Unfortunately SL decided to eat my entire inventory but for a few items today, and Enchanted is gone… *cries*.

Boobies after the cut (more…)

Less usually is more and that also goes for this outfit. Simple, well made basics, for a cool and laid back look which is still totally elegant. The white jeans are from Celestial Studios. I’ve had them for ages, but they are still on par with the current fashion standards. The simple white blouse is from Aoharu. it’s one of those items everyone should have in their inventory, RL & SL alike. I’ve opted for a green top here, the Dalini top from Decoy (I totally rediscovered that shop thanks to hair fair!). I actually bought the fat pack of those tops, they come in lovely colours. Go easy on accesories. I see so many avies who’d make exquisite x-mas trees… but really, one or 2 pieces wel chosen are more effective. I’ve picked the oversized enamel hoops from Paper Couture, as well as their Sprin multi stone ring.

I’m wearing Curio’s Post Ironic hair in ash, and Cupcakes’ Seduction Wheat-Summer.

Going professional today, even though the cute Christy skirt from Skin Flicks is too short to fit the proper definition of office/business attire (which would be knee length, or just above knee). But since I’ve got the legs to pull it off -in SL at least- I picked it anyway to go with the Dietrich shirt from Lelutka and the beige houndstooth Metro jacket from Bijou. I’m wearing the black nylon tights from Sheer and the Pearl and Chain belt from Ume. My glasses are from FNKY and the earrings are Exodi’s Bailey’s pearls.

I’ve picked Cupcakes’ Seduction in Wheat (Girly make up) and Lamb’s Unbirthday chignon in Butterfinger to finish the corporate look.
