Zodiac - Virgo

 

Zodiac is monthly event brought to you by The Hootie Cootateri Experience with items being designed around signs of the Zodiac.  This month is the cycle of the Virgo. 

 

"Virgo exists in the mind, everything is inside. To the world, Virgo presents a calm and collected exterior but on the inside, nervous uncontrolled intensity in the mind, trying to figure things out, how to improve everything, analyzing and thinking. Virgo can tire itself out without even moving! Virgo has a constant drive to improve and perfect, this can lead to extreme pickiness and finickiest. They are pure, their motives are honest never malicious and they want to accomplish something."

 

 

 

Zodiac runs from the 23rd of August until the 17th of September so you still have a few days to get some of the fabulous goodies that are available!

 

Your taxi to Zodiac.

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!

Cause this city is my city

Hello my sweets, i know it has been a while but I've been having no end of crashing viewer issues, which always making blogging so much more enjoyable.  Be that as it may, there are just too many tasty treats getting around at the moment, to not persevere and show you some stuff. 

This delightful dress from Tram was new when i bought it (a month ago) but if you haven't seen it yet, I would highly recommend it.  Well crafted and versatile I had a lot of fun playing dress ups with it.  It is mesh though, so make sure you have a mesh enabled viewer and of course try the demo before purchasing.

The hair I'm wearing may just be my favourite mesh release so far, it was a beauty from LeLutka a couple of weeks ago and i looove it.  In fact, i haven't taken it off since I purchased it.

The last thing I have been dying to show you are these stunning eyes from Fleur du Mâle.  The shots below are raw from SL so you can get a true feel for how they look.

Fleur du Mâle is a relatively new brand that, for the moment, just creates eyes.  But if these eyes are anything to go by, I am very much looking forward to seeing what they do next.  As you can see the colour combinations are gorgeous and you get a plethora of size and shade options in the pack when you purchase it.  The above is just a small sample of the tones available.  Since they say the eyes are the windows to the soul, you really should make this a stop on your next shopping trip.

This outfit is completely inpired by That 70's Show, largely because I spent most of the week watching a bit of a marathon of it that was running, so here you go, my ode to the 70's!

There isn't too much newness in this post with the exception of this stunning new skin from Glam Affair.  Anyonewho knows me, knows how much I love Aida's skins but Gio completely flawed me, she is sooooo purrrdy!

ProjectFur Japan

When a natural disaster, such as the one in Japan, strikes we hear many stories of heartbreak, some of courage and a few of hope.  But animals are often untold victims of disaster.  Coming from Australia, the land of drought, fire and flood, I know all too well what a toll any kind of natural disaster can take on both human and animal life.  ProjectFur is the brain child of Blazin Aubert and Tristan Careless to raise funds for the animals that have been injured, stranded and left for dead due to the recent events in Japan.  Many designers have come together (including the grid famous KittyCats) donating hundreds of items for your shopping pleasure with all proceeds going to charity.  Many items at the event are exclusive, so get in and get em while you can!  Below is just a smattering of what is available

ProjectFur Japan is open NOW.

Pose Fair 2011 Part 1

I have an unhealthy addiction to poses, i'll admit it, so letting me loose at Pose Fair was a D A N G E R O U S idea.  As a result my managery of KittyCats are feeling neglected, my SL friends have been wondering why I have been more antisocial than usual and my $L have headed in sharp downward trend that would alarm even the most avid shopper BUT I am one happy little pose junkie. 

I could ramble about the kick ass stuff that is available but lets face it, you don't wanna listen to me, you just wanna see the goodies, so on with the show!

Pose Fair Opens to the public on 1st April at 12pm SLT

I still call Australia home

I'm always travelling, I love being free

and so I keep leaving the sun and the sea

but my heart lies waiting over the foam

I still call Australia home...

I'm scrapping in with barely 30 minutes to spare but, I hope all my fellow Aussie SLers had a wonderful Australia Day!

<3

Lyrics from I Still Call Australia Home by Peter Allen

Dirty little freaks

So raise your glass if you are wrong in all the right ways,

All my underdogs,

We will never be anything but loud and nitty gritty,

Dirty little freaks,

Won't you come on and raise your glass...

I've had a few people lately ask where my skin is from because I don't credit it in every post.  This isn't because I want to take anything away from the wonderful designer or because I don't want to share it.  I don't change my skin all that often and I will always credit it when I do like I did way back here.  So if I haven't credited it in a while, it's pretty safe to assume I'm still using the same one.  But for those that are wondering Atomic's Audri Abyss 2 in porcelain by the amazingly talented Miss Ivy Graves is currently rocking my skin world.

Project Donate

As you may be aware Project Donate started today, I can not stress enough what an important cause this event is donating to.  You can find out more about here .  In short, funds raised through this event will be donated to UNICEF to help the victims of the devastating floods in Pakistan.  If you aren't aware of what has happened there, I urge you to do some research and then please, give generously.

Many designers have come together to offer up goods for your donation, with many of them contributing 100% of their profits to the charity.  Here is just a sampling of a few things I picked up:

Don't for one second think you can't make a difference, united we have the power to help people who are in desperate need.  So please, go visit Project Donate and give with your heart, not your head.
