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 😉

Getting Ready

1-modest-bed-sm

When getting ready to go out, it is important to plan. Start with a tidy room, your clothes laid out and of course, a couple of cocktails for your preparations!

Warm Animations has released the Modest Bed at the current round of Shiny Shabby. It is a simple mattress bed with a snuggly comforter, which disappears when you sit or lie on the bed. It is available with either PG or Adult animations so you can decide exactly how modest you want to be.

The build I am using is actually a shop from L2 Studio. I have been itching to decorate a new house and I wanted something a bit more modern, yet simple. The open plan of this build suits a home as much as a business and the stone floors, just itching for throw rugs, suits my style. There is a garden terrace that will become a second living area – perfect for sunbathing or snuggling under the stars. It is a work in progress and I’m excited to have a new home project to work on.

Get ready; there will be more to come.
