Blogger Challenge: Barerose 2010, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz. Photo edited in PS

I was over at Barerose earlier and seriously… June Dion from BareRose is one of the all time most fabulous, consistent and creative content creators of SecondLife, who just is underexposed on the blogs. Maybe because she’s such a constant factor, that people tend to focus more on the novelties, but anyway, I got fascinated all over again with the incredible variety of fashion, fantasy, historical and just plain outrageous outfits, all under 200L$ for multiple colors.

Last year our resident vampire fashionisto, Winter Jefferson, started a BareRose appreciation week, which was a huge success. I wouldn’t go that far, but this week, I’d love to see a lot of you going crazy creative with BareRose outfits!

I have picked the Chimera Huntress outfit for this picture, combined with PXL Creations’s Efe skin and L.Fauna’s red Allure eyes.

I’m looking forward to see your entries. Please leave me a link in the comments, so that I can see yours too!!!

❤ Grazia

Congratulations, Luca!! (Little RL message… as a reminder that I need to call a special, old friend today)

These weeks are hectic, but it’s still fun to throw an outfit together. I must admit, I am very happy with Hunain being on a (blog) roll right now, no pun intended. His contributions challenge me to be creative and to look into new stuff. Like for today’s look, it probably would have taken me like uhm… forever, to discover the awesome (unisex) pants at Zoobong, or the amazing and oh so affordable stuff from HoC.

Anyway, let’s get down to business, shall we?

Hair: Gritty Kitty Butters (blonde)
Skin: Laqroki Pearl 09 (fair)
Shape: custom by me, not available

Tattoo: HUZ tats Wave
Bikini: BOOM infinity bikini thick stripes cool
Necklace: Mandala Hannya silver double
Top: Surf Couture Coastal tank white
Pants: Zoobong rokstar pants yellow (including prim buckle)
Shoes: Orange Creations Mercy magenta

Glasses:  Aviator style glasses by HOC

Last week Kavar Cleanslate released his newest skin at Exile, and I am really impressed. Well defined brows -in dark and light version-,  a cute nose and kissable lips (not to mention some very alluring make up names!). The body has an overall softness that I also very much like. The breast shading is a wee bit angular, I would prefer them more round, but they do not look like silicone implants, which is an absolute plus.

I love the back and the bum on this skin, for the softness I mentioned before, but compared to that, the hands are pretty detailed, and while in themselves they look fine, they do not match the softness of the rest of the skin. Anyway, that’s just a minor point of criticism, and certainly no dealbreaker! Chloe comes in 5 skintones which are looking pretty fine, though personally I like Chloe best in the lighter skintones.

Before buying any skin, please remind to always try a demo. The way a skin will look on you highly depends on your shape.

Other need to knows: hair Kylie by Exile, bikini by Simone (it was the first one I ever bought, I don’t know if it’s still availale.

Hui is waiting downstairs. The engine of his car running. We’re going out for a couple of drinks and a supper on the town as we need some time to just catch up instead of always talking blog stuff (or something like that). I quickly check my make up in the mirror, and then I’m ready to go. Catch you later!

Last week, Ryker Beck from Exodi released her latest skin line Dael. I have used this skin already in various looks and love it, but I still had these pics… so here’s a Dael only post.

What’s to love:

  • the smoothness! No seams on this skin (at least, no disturbing ones)
  • the breasts. Seriously, Ryker makes some of the nicest tatas on the grid, and personally I love the larger nipples
  • the tush. Beautifully shaded, firm and round… just like you’d want it to be in RL, right?

What’s to debate:

  • with some of the lipsticks, the white highlight around the mouth is quite strong and can have the milk moustache effect
  • uhmmmm… well, actually… that is my only serious point of critique for this skin

Yesterday Ryker announced a massive sale on her older skin lines:

New @ Truth 100604, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

Yesterday there was somewhat of a panic on plurk. Truth hair day… but…. where is the hair??? Oh my, we are so conditioned to Thursday Hairday that people plurk around frantically to see if they can get their weekly fix.

Best proof that regular, scheduled releases work!!

Anyway, today I woke up to an offline from Truth with the wonderful words: Truth Hawks has offered you ‘TRUTH New Release 4 June 2010’ in Second Life. Log in to accept or decline the offer”

Now I am not going to pretend this is as good as early morning sex, but, for your resident hair addict, it gets close. And Mr. Hawks is a top hair crack dealer… he always knows how to make me happy.

This week’s hair clockwise, starting with the updo: Tina, Lourdes and Marni (streaked and non streaked included in the pack)

<3, Grazia
