Not Really A Bitch

1-not-really-a-bitch-sm

I can sometimes be bitchy, but I’m not really a bitch. I try to be gentle and kind most of the time. My bitchiness comes out, though, in the face of meanness or downright stupidity. Sometimes it’s best to just lay back and watch the foolishness – it is far more entertaining and much less likely to produce frown lines.

This is the first real view of my take on the shape for the Bento Simone Mesh Head from .LeLutka.. I had the original, so while the discount was nice (wear your Simone 1.5 or 1.6 head when purchasing and receive the full purchase price of the original back), it really was the expressions that sold me. I was a bit worried about the pointed chin, but after playing with sliders for a couple of days, I finally came up with a facial shape that I like. What sealed the deal was the Luna LeLutka Head Applier from *League*. It was a bit of a trip down memory lane trying on skins to find a face that I loved with my shape. With pre-Bento mesh heads, you pretty much knew that any applier you tried would look good, as the shape of the head was going to be incredibly close to the original. With the freedom of customisation allowed by Bento heads, it’s like it’s 2012 again! Luna worked really well with the changes I made and I’m incredibly happy with the final result.

I am featuring two more items from the December round of BishBox – the Bitch necklace from Kibitz and one of my very favourite gifts from this round, the Oregon Boots from Essenz. There seems to be no end to the goodness from this box!

For a splash of colour, I threw on the Izzie corset from Apple May Designs. It is an older release and can be found at the main store. Since it is an applier, it works very well for tucking in or layering. Don’t forget to shop main stores for older gems in the rush to wear everything new on the grid.

That’s just a suggestion, not an order. I’m not really a bitch, you know 😉

Digue The Beat

I have yet another post featuring items from the December round of BishBox. My hair, shoes and jacket all come from this very impressive first subscription offering. Do make sure you stop by the BishBox headquarters to sign up for January’s edition, and if you didn’t get the December version, you can still grab it there for a higher price. It’s well worth your money, after you have returned the fuzzy socks from Aunt Martha and the ugly sweater from Cousin Ed.

I shot this photo at La Digue du Braek, the sister sim of Furillen (which is all decked out now as Endor of Star Wars fame). I had visited Digue a few times but hadn’t yet shot a single photo, until I wandered into the upstairs of the warehouse and found this eerily unsettling movie playing. I have always wanted to be in the spotlight, and doing an almost dirty dance with Mickey seemed like the right time.

I highly recommend this unique location. The scenery is amazing and the detail is divine. And the entertainment…you can Digue the beat!

The Plain of Jars

Having survived Christmas, it’s time to spoil yourself! *Just BECAUSE* has released the Dana Bodysuit and Daniella Skirt just in time for the post-Christmas parties. You can pair the two or wear them separately. The bodysuit comes with the option of wearing the matching bra or going daring with the sheer bodice alone. The skirt also comes with a sheer and opaque version. Mix and match to your heart’s content!

My shoes from PHEDORA are also of the mix and match variety with a HUD that allows you to customise every part. Those straps are to die for! As part of the December BishBox it automatically comes as a fatpack, so you don’t have to agonise over which colour to choose – you get them all! It’s not too late to pick up your BishBox if you missed subscribing early. Just click on the link above and head to BishBox headquarters to grab this fabulous box of wonders.

I chose the location, The Plain of Jars from the Second Life Destination Guide. It is ” a vast plain of hundreds upon hundred of massive stone urns and ewers, the makers long since lost to antiquity along with their purpose. Some recall the legend of the giant king’s victory banquet. believe the jars to be the leftover alcohol vessels from that banquet. Others think of a more mundane purpose, to collect rain water for passing caravans. Discover for yourself…”

I loved the stark yet quietly complex scenery. It is a place to visit when you want to contemplate the vastness and mystery of the world. And to allow your outfit to take centre billing 😉
