And so they laugh at the sad sad clown

There is a new event taking place right now called Epoch Legend and if you haven't visited yet, then quite seriously, stop whatever you are doing and goooo, it is fabulous!  The event is divided into three sections (landmarks to all sections are available from the Creators Cafe) and Maylee Oh of The Secret Store has released this stunning Circus outfit for the event.  So often in Second Life I find myself wearing many many items that I wear or would wear in my day to day life, so I had a lot of fun branching out into something new.   The outfit is mesh and includes the hat, the outfit itself and the stockings, and is available in the 5 standard sizes... really go visit, take lots of $$$, you won't regret it.

Just one word caution regarding the Epoch Legend event, many of the builds are mesh and you will need a mesh enabled viewer to attend the event.

The amazing background set that I am using in this picture is a release from Tableau Vivant and you can get one of your very own by visiting Festival of Sin.

Back in Black

I've never liked being boxed much and anyone who knows me, knows my style jumps all over the place with my mood.  After wandering the grid for a few days as a prima ballerina (see last post) and taking another trip the Festival of Sin, I felt the need to go for something a little more edgy. 

My visit to Festival of Sin proved more than fruitful, I absolutely adore these tights from AddiCt and the body suit from Kyoot is just perfect and both of these delicious items are available from the festival.

Also, my random happy for the day is definitely new LeLutka Mesh Hair and a big YAY for the $1L demos finally being scrapped!

52 Weeks of Colour - Alice Blue

Still playing a little catch up with Part II of the 52 Weeks of Colour Challenge, but I'm hoping to be back on track by the end of the weekend.  Alice blue wasn't the easiest colour to find but then I remembered this skirt from Atomic and it was oh happy days!

More importantly, there is this little event going on at the moment that you may have heard of called Festival of Sin (c'mon admit it, you've all been and gleefully purchased your walk of shame dress :p).  Aida from Glam Affair has released a new skin for the event called Vanity and she is just as pretty and perfect as you would expect anything from Glam to be.  Ms Ewing is a master when it comes to pixels and new Glam Affair always makes me happy!  Unedited pictures of the stunning new skins are below:



There are 4 varieties of eye make up available as well as 10 different tattoo lip shades, so plenty of choice for everyone and I would highly recommend you get on your bicycle and check it out!

52 Weeks of Colour - Patina

Yup, I'm running a little behind!  One of these days I swear I'll figure out how people actually manage to keep up... in the mean time... bare with me.

My loves of the week are definitely this hair from Vive 9 and this skin from The Body Co.  Also, was great to pull out some oldies and blow the dust of this sweater dress from E! Eclectic Apparel and Accessories, I adore it as much today as I did when I originally purchased it many moons ago.

Back to Black Part 3

I very very very rarely wear formal wear in Second Life, not because there aren't some great designs out there, but mostly because I have nowhere to wear them and well made formal wear is often rather expensive in terms of the Second Life economy.  However, when I saw this dress by Plank Couture at Back to Black, I just had to have it and i've been having fun running around it for about a day and half now.  Don't wanna invite me to Ball, no problem... i'll wear it to Callob88 instead! :p

Back to Black is a mental health awareness event, bought to by Chic Management.  The event will open to the public on 11th February and landmarks will be available at that time.

52 Weeks of Colour - Iron

It occurred to me recently that back in July last year, my little blog turned one, a milestone I really should have celebrated by telling you all just how awesome you are!  Being a very typical Gemini I tend to bore of things very easily, so the fact that I'm still around and doing this is no mean feat, but honestly, I don't know if I'd still be here had it not been for the support that people have shown me.  So, from me to you, thank you <3

In other non gushy news, have you been to Entente yet?  If not, you really should.. super cute basic pieces that are perfect for all the layer obsessed people!
