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.

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!

Don't change your mind, you're wasting light

I fell in love with Lara Hurley Skins at Vintage Fair (I know, I know, I was slow to get on that train!) so upon a visit to the store recently I found the stunning new skin release Emma.  There is absolutely nothing about this skin that I just simply don't adore. 

Also, new handbags make me happy... you need House of Fox in your life!

Bloom Dolls & Fast Cars

I've been watching the feeds over the course of the day and everyone has been doing the cutest versions of these beyond adorable Bloom dolls from Surf Clothing Company, so I decided to be a little different and do a sporty spice doll instead!  Seriously folks, don't even ask if you should get these, just go and do it!  At the very least, the weird looks you will get wandering around Shoe Fair make it totally worth it!

Next up the lovely Katey Coppola of Glitterati, was nice enough to send a few blogger copies out of her new pose prop.  There are 20 poses included (10 male and 10 female) and oh my goodness, the fun you could have with this!  The car is a stationary prop only so no drive bys in your future but whether you want to be a total dork (like me) or rock the sexy " which is better, me or my car" look, there is something for everyone.  And of course, as with most Glitterati props, all the poses are super easy to modify so you can make them fit any shape!  I believe this sex on wheels I mean, car prop is out now, so once you have finished at Surf Co, head over to Glitterati and snap this up too!

Shoes to fill, secrets to spill

Anyone who reads Demi's blog Demina Fashion will already know that she is as cute as a button, fortunately for us though the clothing line she is now selling through Boom is almost as adorable as she is!   This denim romper is her latest release and it is just darling.  Also, for anyone who missed it, new Maitreya Hair has hit the town (be sure to check the NEW colour packs before purchase).

Thistle Sweetpea Cottage

I've been in a bit of a perpetual bad mood for the last week or two due to a shoulder injury that just won't go away, so when I saw this too cute for words cottage up for grabs in last week's Super Bargain Saturday I knew I just HAD to have it.  It's cute, cozy, colourful and low prim, all the things I needed for an instant mood buster!

The cottage is still available in two versions, the valentines version, which I am showing here, is a mere $250L but if pink isn't rocking your world there is a texture change version in green, blue and pink or a combination of all three as well for $650L.  So jump on over to Thistle Homes and snap up this adorable little cottage for yourself.

Extend A Helping Hand - The Queensland Flood Appeal

I am a Queenslander, this is a statement I have often made with pride, today it is with desperation, despite the fact that  I am one of the lucky ones.  I have seen some flooding in my suburb but for the most part my home is safe with only a few minor puddles in the backyard.  I have both my parents and my grandparents currently residing with me as they have had to evacuate their homes.  I have friends and family all over the state that are stranded and have lost everything.  I know people on my plurk that have loved ones that are unaccounted for and I am aware of many other Australian Second Life residents that are bracing themselves as the waters continue to rise.   My heart, along with millions of others, is breaking as our state drowns. 

As i am writing this, Queensland has now been declared a Disaster area.  Some three-quarters of the state is currently being effected in some way by rising water.  More than 100,000 homes are without power, 12 people have been confirmed dead with another 50+ missing.  More than 20,000 properties in Brisbane alone are expected to suffer major flooding by 4am tomorrow morning as the Brisbane river continues to overflow, engulfing all in it's path and that is only one of a handful of scenarios being seen around this state.  More concerning is that most of these people are not covered for flooding by insurance as insurance companies, since 1974, have not offered it as an option.

We are desperate and we need your help.  Sanura Sakai, along with dozens of very generous vendors, has put together the Extend A Helping Hand Market to raise money for the Premier's Disaster Relief Appeal, all funds donated to this appeal will be going to help the victims of the Queensland Flood Disaster.   There are some truly wonderful items available, many of them exclusive to the event, such as the gorgeous dress I am wearing in the above picture.   So please, dig deep if you can and if you can't, please keep us in your thoughts as we prepare for the worst.

52 Weeks of Colour Challenge - Plum

I am weeks behind in this challenge thanks to my computer processor that is slowly dying.  The good news is a new computer is on the way, the bad news is that it is caught up in the Christmas rush and won't be here for a few weeks, so please excuse my limping photography attempts for the next couple of posts.  Anywho, onto to plum-y goodness:

Being a more earth tones kinda of girl I struggled with plum for a while and whilst this outfit may border slightly on the more lavender side of purple, I'm covering all basis by taking the inworld shot at the beautiful wintery location, Plum Island.

Shades of Grey

The sun is white, the moon is grey

And the river is black, blue and green

The young are young, the old are old

And there are no shades of grey in between...

We all know about Luna Jubilee's colour challenge by now right?  This week's colour is grey and as usual I'm a lil late to the party but I did have fun putting this together given that I would say a good 80% of  my wardrobe falls into the gray/silver/black category, so I was set for this week.... the other 51 weeks however, could be challenging!

Today I'm also sporting the new Amber skin from League!  I've been pretty attached to my atomic skin lately and have been uber fussy when trying on new skins but I do have to say Nena Janus of League has excelled herself with the Amber Skin line, it is completely gorgeous and I have spent alll day kicking myself for being a tightass and only buying one makeup instead of the set!    As is usual with League skins, there are HEAPS of options as to how you wear your skin be it with cleavage or freckles or both or none, as well as, an abundance of makeup to keep even the most discerning skin customer (me!) happy.  If you haven't seen it yet, go and have a looksie..

But back to the task at hand 52 weeks of colour, starting with grey!

Welcome to the master plan

We are the face of a new generation

We are the ones who have no reservation

Don't give a damn 'bout  your cold calculation

Welcome to the master plan

Don't care if you understand

I've had a long running love affair with the jewellery made by Mister Naith Smith of NSD but when I saw this jacket, I knew instantly, that this affair was about to extend to his clothing line too!  There are three new jackets available in his store now but the Gallagher would have to be my favourite.  With the option to wear the hood up or down, extra modifiable bits included so you don't have to worry about forgetting to copy them and an overall super comfy feel.... it's definitely a winner.

Lyrics from Counting Headlights by Liam Titcomb

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.

Lyrics from Raise Your Glass by P!nk

I know I could love you much better than this

If all of the strength and all of the courage,

Come and lift me from this place,

I know I could love you much better than this,

Full of grace,

Full of grace,

My love...

I am in the middle of a torrid love hate affair with my Second Life viewer.  I LOVE that I can wear multiple layers and I think the introduction of the tattoo layer has been one of the best things ever!  I HATE that I still can't get shadows working properly in either of the Viewer 2 releases and the other authorized viewers kinda scare me.  But never being one to dwell on things I can not change lets focus on the positive....to all you wonderful creators out there creating tattoo layer makeup, I could just hug you!  I know this is not a new introduction but there seems to have been a flood of new makeup recently and I'm revelling in the ability to colour myself in all purdy like.  So if you haven't discovered the endless possibilities yet for yourself go and check out Cheap Makeup, Tik Tok, Garage and Kyoot just to name a few!

Lyrics from Full of Grace by Sarah McLachlan

Because none of it was ever worth the risk

And I've always lived like this,

keeping a comfortable distance,

and up until now,

I had sworn to myself that I'm content with loneliness,

because none of it was ever worth the risk...

Lyrics from The Only Exception by Paramore

I guess that's just the cowboy in me

The urge to run, the restlessness,

The heart of stone I sometimes get,

The things I've done for foolish pride,

The me that's never satisfied,

The face that's in the mirror when I don't like what I see,

I guess that's just the cowboy in me....

I have a secret....I'm a closet country music fan and had the very fortunate experience of getting to see Mister Tim McGraw live this past friday.  So with that in mind, I felt like channeling my inner country girl and this is what came out the other end... it's sort of country-esq...maybe... well at the very least it's comfy and perfect for the coolish weather we have been having the last few days...
