!SSUS!, Tuli Review and a few things…

Rowan Carroll is the lady behind the Store “She’s so Unusual Shoes!” or !SSUS! for short. I wish I had discovered this store when I first joined Sl, as I remember the choices were either to spend a fortune or wear shoes that blinged. The first thing you notice when you enter !SSUS! is that there are ..lots and lots of shoes in many colours and textures. The second thing you notice is the cost of the shoes which is very reasonable. And the third thing is that this lady does have a sense of humour, with her whimsical creations like the Penis (am I allowed to say that?) Pumps and Noob shoes! I love her most recent creations especially her Gothic Rose and Pentagram Platforms. Chunky heels yay!! You will be seeing more of these shoes…

I am sure that I am later than anyone blogging Tuli’s new skin tone in her Hope line, Ivory. That said, I really enjoyed working with these skins. I found them versatile and loved the new make-ups. As always the skins are gorgeous and photograph beautifully

Ah, finally I get to how you my favourite hair from the Hair Fair!!! Tukinowguma is the hair store and I wanted to find the perfect outfit to show it off. I found it at DP YumYum, which is in the process of being renovated right now. The hair and flower are texture change. Oh isn’t it just the sweetest thing?? Pics shot at Route 66.

During my travels around the grid, I came across the store, Likka House and the lovely grey dress, Giselle. This dress has a Glow or non Glow option. Hair is by Magica and Pics shot at Cesaire.

I found this delicious dress at Pinky Gals (originally to go with my favourite hair from the hair fair). It has a lovely shine which I teamed up with Hoofs (from Lazy Places demonology Hunt on now) and a great new hair from Boon (half price right now). Shot at Carpe Noctem.

I am Lazy…..

Lately I have noticed an interesting trend within SL. Designers are stretching their creative muscles and moving in interesting and new directions. (Like that’s new you say..) What is really interesting of course is when they take their creative personality and stamp it on the new thing. I guess I first came to know of Lazy places on account of the Boots..(feet…?). The Gryphon Boots are one of my favorite things in SL and its a testament to this small store that partners Sakuradawn Lei and Sven Okonomi have been a part of, Black Swan, Victoria Bushfire Relief and Heart of Love efforts.

I am really happy to say then that hair is in the offing!! There are four new hairs and what I love about them is that they are texture change..so you can add really wild effects to match an outfit or just match the hair to the original colour. And I think a bit of syncronicity was at play today because as preview packs jumped into my inventory I was shooting an outfit in a pair of Woolybullies. Uno,dos … (excuse me while I cut the rug.)

one, two, tres, quatro.
Matty told Hatty about a thing she saw.
Had two big horns and a wooly jaw.
Wooly bully, wooly bully.
Wooly bully, wooly bully, wooly bully.
Hatty told Matty: "Let's don't take no chance.
Let's not be *L-seven*, come and learn to dance."
Wooly bully, wooly bully.
Wooly bully, wooly bully, wooly bully.
Matty told Hatty: "That's the thing to do.
Get you someone really to pull the wool with you."
Wooly bully, wooly bully.
Wooly bully, wooly bully, wooly bully.

(Sam the Sham and the Pharoahs, I’m thinking The Specials Version tho, Ok that was really random…but I couldn’t resist..)

And there you have it. Clever people, cute store, and their stuffs want to make me dance and act in totally inappropriate and reediculous ways. The new hairs will be at the hair fair with demo’s available. There are piles of tasty colours with one of my favourites being Creemsickle. I also snuck in a few of my purchases from the Nomine and Silent Sparrow Sales. (And whoever thought of these two sales in the same week has my gratitude..)
