RFL and Solange…

I’ve been wearing this outfit by Solange for a few days now and though I normally don’t wear silks, this example is particularly fine. The mechanical bits actually move and the fit and finish are wonderful. This version is exclusive to the RFL Clothing fair, as it’s for charity but there are many other colours available as well. Solange is located in the Paris Sim at RFL. I found that the lag was not bad at all while walking around most of the sims. If you haven’t been over there its well worth a visit. There are many interesting things to see and do, with Fashion shows and DJ’s playing music. As of now 3.5 Million Lindens have been raised!!!



Hair is new by Exile and gives a nice windswept look. Skin again is by Tuli, Eva, I will admit that while walking around I keep admiring my own butt!! Tuli’s new store is now up and running, and looks great. Designed around a fantasy theme, its set up in the sky with Elymode and LaForgia Jewels. Skins are available in 7 tones and 10 make-up choices. 1000L per skin. 4950L per tone.The boots are by Earth and Sky Design and are perfect… The poses are from Striking Poses. I was sad to hear that Zelly Mornington is closing her shop and sim. She is a very talented posemaker and let us hope that she will regain her health and return to SL one day. She will be missed! Until the sim is sold her posepacks are for sale at 50% off.

The Cream in my Coffee…..

YOU`RE THE CREAM IN MY COFFEE, YOU`RE THE SALT IN MY STEW, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE MY NECESSITY, I`D BE LOST WITHOUT YOU. YOU`RE THE STARCH IN MY COLLAR, YOU`RE THE LACE IN MY SHOE, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE  MY NECESSITY, I`D BE LOST WITHOUT YOU. MOST MEN TELL LOVETALES AND EACH PHRASE DOVETAILS: YOU`VE HEARD EACH KNOWN WAY. THIS IS MY OWN WAY. YOU`RE THE SAIL OF MY LOVEBOAT, YOU`RE THE CAPTAIN AND CREW. YOU WILL ALWAYS BE  MY NECESSITY, I`D BE LOST  WITHOUT YOU. YOU GIVE LIFE SAVOR, BRING OUT ITS FLAVOR, SO THIS IS CLEAR, YOU`RE MY WORCESTERSHIRE, DEAR.                              

YOU`RE THE CREAM IN MY COFFEE - Lyrics

Today I am showing you a couple of things recently released by the Plastik, Dark Mouse and soon to be released, Tuli. I am also enjoying these runners from HoC called Swypes. This is a reasonably priced shoe, with texture change options. I had fun with HoC’s earrings too, pickles and advocado’s! As always the textures in the Plastik’s, Recluse collars, Tomboy T’s and Fierii leggings are superb. An interesting choice with the leggings is that you can wear one layer (underwear) or two (underwear and pant) and you will get different effects. I am also wearing the bra tops from the Valerian set which are lovely and versatile.   Tuli’s new store should be open today, but at this moment is not. And her new skins will then be released. I have always been a big fan of her skins and Tuli’s Eva is very nice indeed. Beautiful make-ups!! These creators are my Creme, and I thank them for their creativity!

RFL Clothing Fair

Sometimes I dream that I’m falling through the sky. I keep falling and falling and I know that when I hit the bottom I will be gone. Before that happens I always wake up, or surprisingly I pick myself up and keep on. I used to think that Cancer happened to other people. People in my family had heart attacks, and I would look at those who were fighting Cancer with sympathy but not a lot of understanding. My ignorance protected me but didn’t let me see the truth. We are all touched by this disease, and if you haven’t yet had to deal with it you will one day.



I was privileged to get a sneak peak at this years Relay for Life Clothing Fair. I have not yet seen it all, and have only taken a quick look. A lot of love and care has gone into the SIM designs and the stores themselves. RFL is one of those movements which mirrors efforts in RL to raise money in RL for Cancer. Each designer, creator or builder has put a lot of volunteer hours into making the fair a success. Designers make clothing, of which 100% of the proceeds go to Cancer related organizations. The Sims are designed around real life places, and I have to say I was impressed by the detail and thought that went into the design. I will be popping in and out over the next few weeks and I hope that you will take some time to visit, buy some of the Donated clothing and remember that we can be empowered by the choices we make.

 
Credits: Pics shot @ RFL Clothing Fair. Fair runs from March 13 3pm(SL) until March 21. 9 Sims, 8 of which represent a different city. Worn (not from the fair)- Skin Tuli Eva (preview), Clothes The Plastik, Shoes HoC Swypes Advocado earrings, Trubble friendship bracelet, Hair Dark Mouse vanilla Bean. (I didn’t do
my usual SLURLS and details because I will be blogging these items in more detail.)




A note about Lag. We all hate it, and I was lucky today not to have to strip down because the Sims are fairly empty. When I come back I will be wearing my usual lag free stuff. Things which cause the most lag are scripted items, like hair (resize script) and Shoes (resize again) heck anything resize…AO’s, Colour change, Bling (which we love so much..) and radar. As well anything colour changing like jewellery, or shoes. Since everyone ends up as a grey mass anyway, it really doesn’t matter what you wear or look like. Lowering your graphics also helps as well as using a box to get around (it says building and rezzing not allowed but maybe they will rezz some boxes for use..).

I can’t Dance, so I must be Human ...

I did my best to notice, when the call came down the line
Up to the platform of surrender, I was brought but I was kind
And sometimes I get nervous, when I see an open door
Close your eyes, clear your heart, cut the cord
Are we human, or are we dancer
My sign is vital, my hands are cold
And I'm on my knees, looking for the answer
Are we human, or are we dancer

Pay my respects to grace and virtue, send my condolences to good
Give my regards to soul and romance, they always did the best they could
And so long to devotion, you taught me everything I know
Wave good bye, wish me well, you've gotta let me go ….         The Killers, Day and Age

I’ll have some Hucci with that!

Every now and then I like to drop into Fabulous fashion with Angie Mornington, on Mondays at 6SLT @ Northpoint Studios. Besides interviews, its nice to see a designers clothing on the model and hear something of their thoughts about their clothing and what they were trying to achieve with it. As well you can hear about their own experiences within SL and what drives their desire to create in a virtual world. Eboni Khan has been in SL since 2004, so she has some interesting things to say about her experiences. This dress really stood out for me as a really fine example of her work.



Being in the audience also has its perks, there usually is a gift of some sort for the audience and Eboni generously gave everybody a gift card for her store. This Necklace is one of her jewelery pieces and works really well with the Boho look I was trying to achieve.



I love anything that reminds me of the 60’s and this dress is very well designed with all the things I like in a dress, cleavage and versatility! The necklace is by Secret Serenity (Dearly Beloved Set) and works well with the ensemble. After putting together this look, I realized that the dress could be styled many ways, leather boots or net stockings, a belt or sweater would all look good.

Meet me at the Numery mart…

Rockberry has a pretty new skin called Luan and I thought it would be cool to shoot some pics in a Japanese Sim. Neo Osaka fit the bill perfectly, it has so many interesting spots to visit, with a mix of business and pleasure….



Luan comes in 4 tones, light, natural tan and dark, with 6 make-ups and freckles available as a separate skin. Rockberry has some of the nicest freckles on the grid, and all skins have a cleavage option with the skin. Each skin is available for 450L (with light and dark eyebrows) or in a full pack of light (or dark eyebrows) for 1250L. Freckled skins are 300L per skin and 1250L for the 6 make-ups. I am also featuring some new items from Luck Inc. The sweater and super short skirt are available in lots of colours.



This vest is from Milk Motion. I love the furry appearance even though it is horribly difficult to shoot pictures of clothing with sculpties on the body.The pieces move every which way, and so many poses just do not work. Love soul is best known for the many prim nail styles but there are also some well designed hair styles to be had. Black colour in hair can lack texture but this one is well detailed and easy to see.
