For the Love of Crashing

March 9, 2009
I swear lately if I’m not crashing every time I try and edit a prim or TP somewhere, I’m turning black on some part or all of my body!  Between that and my son taking over the computer on weekends, I thought I would never complete this post! 

Pure Style has 2 locations, each with different goodies to discover.  At the Buncrana location, I got this adorable blue dress for free. The Eternity necklace was 1 L at Violet Voltaire (heaps of dollarbies there on the top level). The stockings are part of a fatpack of stockings from ALB Dream Fashion and were not free but a great deal at 99L.   The blue French Kiss shoes are inexpensive (50L) from Unique Needs. Quite a nice look for very little cost.  The hair I recently won at Junwave’s lucky board. 

This way cute dress is also from Pure Style at the Aventi Isle location and is free if you touch the voting station.  It’s perfect for St. Patrick’s Day but what I like about it is that I can wear it year around.  The stockings are from Sock Shop and I must have gotten them as a Christmas dollarbie but there are other dollarbies in the shop (different dollarbies at different locations) as well as for a limited time a cute 2 L cupcake hat.  There is a really cute pair of socks at the Floyd location called Blue Bird socks that would be perfect with this dress.  
On a different note, I must share with you a shop that us Lucky Chair Stalkers have grown fond of called Jeckalicious.  I scored both of these coats on the lucky chairs there.  There are also other outfits on the chair and there are two chairs on 10 minute timers so it moves quickly. The details could not be more intricate.  Look at those arm straps and stitching on the gown portion.  These are defininte new staples in my wardrobe.  
What I particularly LOVE LOVE LOVE about these jackets is that they come with 3 lengths as well as an open and closed style.  And even better (especially for me since I crash ever time I try to adjust prims) a resize script.  The pants I wore in the bottom picture are probably my favorite pants in my inventory; 10 L Bastard Britches from Bare Rose’s UFonly HQ.  The skin is free at Fleur as one of the newbie skin tones and the unisex hair is free also at Boon.

Poppy Saves The Day!

February 4, 2009

I remember when I was new, I spent a month on Orientation Island learning stuff, sorting out my “look” and whatnot. I thought I looked pretty spiffy when I hit the mainland infohub. The I saw “her” this vision in a tank top and jeans, with the *most* amazing hair. Why the hell didn’t my hair do that, I remember thinking to myself. She sent me a LM to Taunt, there was a hair treasure hunt (not sure if they still do it). I too could have swishy hair!! She also gave me a halter top she had made and I was so stoked. Someone told me about Girl6, and I stood for hours in that store, trying to get my default skin to look like the skin in the posters!! I also was beside myself that I could pick *any* hair in *any* colour I wanted, and Six would give it to me for free.

For so long I walked like I had a stick up my butt, (who knew ao’s existed) and so many other funny things I did or said. I would have *killed* for this new resident pack from Popfuzz. You get the clothes shown above, perfect basics that should be in every inv. Also, manicures and pedicures, all of which are gorgeous.

And skins baby. Beautiful, luminous skins with yummy natural makeup, in every tone you can think of.

There’s even a neko skin. I tell you, new players will be so spoilt with this pack!! Everyone goes through a Neko phase in SL, I remember how excited I was about getting my first neko skin. It cost a fortune though, but now thanks to Poppy, you get a head start.

Did I mention there’s eyes too? There is a colour to suit everyone’s taste.They do have prim attachments, so if you’re helping out a new friend, you may want to stick around and show them how to torture prims!! Let all the new players you know about this pack, they can grab it from Popfuzz until they’re 30 days old. Also direct them to their Library, show them whats in it. Options and choices are good, choices from amazing, established designers are awesome! Save the grid from every new chick wearing “Alina”, that’s your mission, should you choose to accept it! Ash out.
