Tuff Chick

1 Tuff Girl sm

Even tuff girls love their shoes.

I’m not a biker chick, but while prepping for a client shoot, I decided to hop on the bike and see how it felt. It felt…strange. Uncomfortable, even. But with the right outfit and hair, I can pretend I’m in Rome for a day. Hey, Audrey Hepburn did it in Roman Holiday, so why can’t I? OK, so that was a scooter, but let’s not pick nits 😉

Honestly, this photo is all about the shoes. Fringe always makes me feel like a bit of a bad girl, albeit in a princess-y way. There is just something about the feel of the fabric swishing against your ankles to make even a debutante turn into a tuff chick. These babies are from Apple May Designs and can be found at the current round of Shiny Shabby. It is the first anniversary of this amazing event and there are some awesome gifts from these incredible designers. I’m not showing the gift from Apple May, but trust me, it’s worth putting on your shoes and heading over!

It’s A Dirty Job

1 It's a dirty job sm

The things a girl will do to afford new shoes! Just look at this mess! Dirty clothes on the floor, stinky shoes left sitting out, wet towels on the floor and ewww…I’m gonna have to go get a mask and gloves before I go near that toilet!

But the shoes are worth it. Ultra high sexy babydoll pumps with optional stockings – yes, I said optional, so you get two looks for the price of one. Because they’re from fri.day, you know they’re beautifully made. They’re available at the new round of Uber, so you may have to try several times to get in, but they are truly worth the effort. You can always polish the sink while you’re waiting 😉

Starting The New Year With A Bang

Image PeepSideshow Darkward8 Comments

1 New Beginnings sm

OK, so maybe the “bang” happened several months ago…

Actually, it began over a year ago for Apple May’s update of the Baby Bump. Version 2.0 has several upgrades:

– New hud controlled belly progression with FOUR stages
– Omega compatibility
– Skin appliers included + Skin Tinter
– Easy to use hud for hiding/showing different clothing layers
– Now provides 4 layers: skin, under garments, tattoo, and clothes.
– Easy to use hud controlled layers with on/off buttons as well as blend or mask alpha options
– Previous appliers DO work on your updated belly!

I have to say that while skin matching has never been a strength of mine, I was able to very closely match my PXL Natural skin using the HUD. I actually didn’t have to do much blending in Photoshop for this photo. I don’t have any appliers for the product, so I can’t personally vouch for how those work, but I have never had problems with appliers for any other product, so I wouldn’t anticipate any issues with these. The HUD is simple to use and it can be minimised on your screen, out of the way when you are not editing.

While this isn’t a product I would buy for myself (not planning any SL pregnancies), but for those of you who are looking for new beginnings, it is a well-crafted product with loads of capability. If you already own one and are expecting another bundle of joy, you can receive the update. If you did not receive your update just visit the redelivery tab on the information board in store to have it redelivered. If your purchase was prior to February 2014 please contact Italia Villota to verify your purchase.
