Gulp!

In case you haven’t heard, Truth Hawks of Truth Hair has a new colour range for his hair, along with six new styles! There’s going to be a new build for his shop, and I guess the reason for the recent sale (which is ongoing until May 19th, for those of you haven’t managed to get there, by the way) was to make room for the new releases. In the meantime, you can check out the new styles and grab a full colour demo set (complete with all of the hairbases) on Marketplace. Here’s the link to the Truth store on Marketplace. If you sort by Newest First, it will take you straight to the latest styles.

Even bigger news is that Truth is running a photo contest – the Truth Model Search. To enter, you need to upload a (minimum) 2048 X 2048 photo to the Truth Model Search Flickr Group. Make sure you check the Flickr group page for a complete list of rules and the prizes. The prizes are awesome, and in addition to winning Truth gift cards, the first 10 winners will have their photos displayed in the Truth store. Now tell me, what Truth fan wouldn’t give their GHD hair straightener for that opportunity?

Well, I would. So here’s my entry. Oh…and I did it all in Photoshop!

My SL Guilty Confessions Meme – Hail Mary, And All That Jazz

1 Confessions_084

Remind me never to complain about one of Strawberry Singh’s memes again! Last week, Berry had us write our SL haiku. While mine sucked, at least it was easy! This week, she wants us to confess all of our guilty secrets. It really would be easy to “have a headache” for the week and skip this one, but I’m going to take a deep breath (wishing I had a valium, instead) and just do it!

Here are the instructions:

Share 1 to 10 of your top second life guilty confessions. Remember to leave your link in this meme’s post so others can come by and read your answers as well!

1. I can’t find anything in my inventory without using Search. I know that a lot of bloggers will have an inventory-related confession, but I have to include this one. While I would LOVE to be one of those people who keeps a perfectly organised inventory, I just don’t have the patience to try to sort mine out. It’s much too daunting at this point to even try, so I’ve stopped fretting about it. I really wouldn’t be able to find anything if Inventory didn’t have a Search feature, and I totally abuse the Recent Items tab. In fact, I’m shocked when I find something actually filed away in it’s correct folder! I made a comment the other night that the reason I shop so much is because I can’t ever find anything I already have to wear…while this isn’t entirely true, it’s not far off the mark!

2. I love being girly. From my shabby-chic home, to my predominately pastel wardrobe, I love all things feminine. I work as a host in a rock club, and while most of the women there are wearing leather or denim, I love to rock the pink! Or pale yellow, or robin-egg blue, or any other colour besides black. Unless, of course, it’s the quintessential LBD 😉

3. I always compare my butt to other women’s. I guess you knew there would be something about my bum here. I have an obsession with my backside. I freely admit it, and I love it. But sometimes, I see another female avatar and I think to myself, “OMG! Hers is better than mine!” All I can say is I’m thrilled that with the Firestorm viewer I can tweak my shape without going into the dreaded telltale pose and broadcasting to everyone that I’m playing with my bum, because yes, I DO do it on the fly! I also always try on mesh demos, because if a dress or pair of pants gives me a flat derriere, it’s a no-go. Ironically, that’s the one thing I don’t like about my favourite LBD – as my sister Maddie said when I got it, “You got no junk!” Sighs. Well, it gives me another reason to keep searching for another one 😉

4. I’m boring. No matter how long I work on this post, I really don’t have anything earth-shattering to confess. So I’ll just stand in my garden, dressed in some pretty girly stuff I found in the Recent Items tab in my inventory. Oh…and not a bum in sight for me to compare mine to \o/

Another Bloody Fashion Post

even.flow Ladybug Jacket

I really, really, REALLY try not to do this very often. I mean, I LOVE Second Life fashion, but there are tons and tons of way better fashion bloggers out there. I’d rather leave it to the pros.

However, every once in a while, I throw together an outfit and it’s just too cute or pretty or sexy or…sumthin…not to share! This is one of those occasions 😀

I was checking out SeraphimSL today, as I do every day, and I noticed that even.flow was having a 50% off sale. So, naturally, I had to check it out. I grabbed a few things, but my absolute favourite was this adorable Ladybug jacket. The detail of the buttons and fasteners are just wonderful! I slipped it on with a bikini bottom I picked up there as well, threw on my Sayaka3 hair from D!va, and actually got my Slink feet to match! Woot! Yep, definitely the occasion for a fashion post!

I’ll shut up now and just let you perve me.
