Mirror Mirror

When the creative minds of Second Life come together to do an event like Fairy Tales you simply know they are going to amaze and amaze they did.  The sheer imagination on display at this event is nothing short of breath taking. 

This gorgeous mesh dress and crown are new offerings from Kyoot and are available at the Fairy Tales event.  My inventory is slowly morphing into an almost mesh exclusive zone so I was super duper thrilled to see Saeya branching out into mesh.

Fairy Tales is open now and runs through until the 8th of July.

Stand 4 Love

It continues to baffle me daily that here in the year 2012, we as a society, still feel the need to place labels and exclusivity on the idea of love and the notion of marriage, it is for this reason that I'm very proud to be involved in the Stand 4 Love campaign.  Stand 4 Love is an awareness initiative aimed at promoting the rights of all couples, be they gay, lesbian, bisexual or straight.  It is a campaign dedicated to the need for tolerance, understanding and most importantly acceptance of love in all its different shapes and sizes. 

If you would like to learn more about the Stand 4 Love campaign or get involved head to their website or their flickr group for more information.

I stand for equality, I stand for tolerance, I stand for being the most honest version of yourself that you can, I stand for Love .... will you join us?

I love markets, especially food related ones so this cute little Market Day prop from Adorkable Poses was just the ticket for a casual outfit for a casual Sunday.

Pictures of You

It's amazing what you find when you clean up your inventory.  I don't think anything is super new, more just rediscovered but I felt like going on safari and... goodness knows my inventory is a jungle.

Summer loving

As autumn very quickly turns to winter down here in Australia, I find myself longing more and more for the warmer days of summer.  But while I endure the 6 month wait, I can of course lap up some beautiful summer day adventures here in Second Life.   This too cute for words kite prop from Lisp was just what I needed to brush those winter blues away, throw on some shorts and go and play in the virtual sun for a while.  This prop is Lisp's latest release from the June cycle of Collabor88 and comes with 10 poses and a bunch of different texture change options.  Collabor88 is open now.

Izzie Button from Izzie's has been on a bit of a skin making extravaganza over the last few months with several new skins releases.  The skin I'm wearing today is her latest release Estella.  There is a beautiful youthful exuberance to all of Izzie's skins and this one is no exception.  With this latest release we see the introduction of 3 new skin tones ranging from her lightest shade of porcelain right through to her darkest being ebony, that makes 9 skin tones in total, which is sure to make an skin lover happy.  I'm wearing the new natural tone and I absolutely adore it. This gorgeous skin comes with a bunch of different eye make ups and lipsticks all on tattoo layers so you can mix and match to your hearts content.  If you have never tried an Izzie's skin before now is the perfect time to start!

Unashamed Desire

After more than a month away from blogging due to vacations and some intimate time spent with my inventory I'm feeling a little rusty, but it's nice to be back.  And what better why to get back into things then with some fabulous new releases from Glam Affair and Maitreya!

This beautiful shirt is a new release from the insanely talented Aida Ewing, who I swear just gets more and more talented.  You can get one of your very own in a range of colours from Collabor88.

Anyone who has ever attempted to fit a hat over hair in Second life will tell you that hats with hair releases always makes then happy, so mesh hats with mesh hair just about make me jump for joy and lets face it, new hair releases from Maitreya never disappoint.  The new Siobhan hair is out now at the Maitreya store.
