He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not

PeepSideshow Darkward2 Comments

Plucking petals is a perplexing way to determine a passionate dalliance. But perhaps it is as scientific as any other type of chemistry.

I am having fun with the poses from Pose Fair 2017. To stage this scene, I combined two poses: the base pose is part of the Angel seat from Artis and the hand and face position is created by adding one of the Bento poses from [addme.]. I am loving the ability to customise poses that Bento has brought to the grid. It is the difference between having a good shot become a perfect one.

I missed last month’s Luxe Box, so I made sure to get in early for April, and I wasn’t disappointed. I adore this ponytail from Moon. Hair. and the jumpsuit from ISON is typically sublime. While you can see little of the skybox from hive in the photo, it is one of my favourites from this subscription box. Don’t be surprised if you see it featured again.

*plucks another petal and stops…was that a “He loves me” or a “He loves me not?”

The Star Of The Show

Image PeepSideshow DarkwardLeave a comment

There really isn’t any point in showing more of me; the Dana flats with leg warmers by fri.day are the star of the show. Such a cozy, comfy and fashionable pair of shoes should be a staple in every girl’s wardrobe. Available at Kustom9 in March, the shoes come in a wide choice of colours and the leg warmers are texture-change. Exclusive to Maitreya Lara, if you’ve got that body, you need these shoes.

I am loving the Bohemian Delight house from NOMAD from the March Deco(c)rate. The colours are so me and I had an absolute ball decorating it. I filled it with lots of pretty things from around the grid, and do please take note of the rug I am standing on. Kean Kelly has more or less filled the [ keke ] main store with a variety of beautifully muted carpets. Pile them up or use one in every room, under every chair, table and bed. They’re worth it and you won’t be able to stop at one. I am showing one of the trellis designs, but there are two other collections that are just as delightful.

So maybe, just maybe, there is more than one star of this show.

Curtain Call

Image PeepSideshow Darkward4 Comments

I may be getting ahead of things, since Skin Fair 2017 has just begun, but all of the designers will be deserving of multiple curtain calls once the event closes on March 26th. They have truly outdone themselves, with stunning skins, tattoos, makeup appliers and mesh head releases. After the cut, I’ll give you more information to prepare you for one of the biggest events of the Second Life year, including sim maps and SLurls to the fair.

Before I do that, I wanted to make sure that some other releases weren’t lost in the shuffle of Skin Fair. Collabor88 is spectacular this month, with warm and wonderful designs from the top creators in SL. I could live in these leg warmers from fri.day at the event. With autumn upon us in Australia and winter looming, they will surely become a staple in my wardrobe.

The Liaison Collaborative is up and running with their 4th birthday round. There are some beautiful home and garden items in this round and many of the designers have put out birthday gifts – yours for the taking. Do make sure you visit.

Jump past the cut for a close up of my skin, the promised details on Skin Fair and the ever popular credits!
