Everything you see ain’t always what it seems

Hi loves!

As you may or may not know, the Chic 2 event began today.  It is the birthday of the event (ergo the 2), and it opened at 4:00pm.  Some amazing creators have joined this event, some of which I am more than happy to be blogging right now.  I didn’t buy too much, as I’m currently broke in RL and cannot afford to be putting as much $ as I used to into SL!  Booo for being an adult & needing to save up for rent!   At any rate, here’s the pics & deets for you.

Can’t no preacher man save my soul

Hi darlings! Ohhh let’s see what I have for you today… I don’t remember exactly when it was that I discovered ISON.  I think it was back during the vintage fair when I found his leather leggings and fell in love.  Since then, I have been an avid admirer of Harry Hyx’s work & creations.  I have yet to find something at ISON that I don’t like.  At any rate, just for the hell of it, I went back to culture shock after it opened (despite having been an invited blogger and seeing a lot of the vendors before it was open) because I hadn’t had the opportunity to see ISON before it opened, and I fell in love.

So yeah, today is mostly about ISON.  I hope you all enjoy his new stuff as much as I do!  I paired it with a tattoo from one of my very best friend’s new store, Lue Moonshadow’s Brat Inc, and the newest hair from Truth!

Hello my little sweet peas!

Today I have a special guest blogging with me!  I decided to display some couples’ poses.  Specifically, two poses from Culture Shock 2012, as well as the debut of a pose from Mandyleigh Sweetwater’s Vanilla Poses.  I have been meaning to blog Mandy’s poses for literally months, but my guest blogger was being a tit about it and he took forever to come around and let me snap him.

If you know me I’m sure you can guess who he is   I asked Dominic Darkmatter (my bubs!) to blog them with me.  He’s a pretty busy guy most of the time since he owns The Fallen sim where I (and a gazillion other people, for that matter), RP, and doesn’t usually have the time to stand still and pose for me.

So thank you, Mandy, for your -extreme- patience!

Please keep in mind, dear readers, that none of these photos were edited in any way except for cropping & the adding of background shadows to the 1st & 3rd pics.  I wanted to show the poses off without manipulating too much so that you’d see them in their simplest forms!  I hope you all enjoy!

I know we’re lost but soon we’ll be found

(Listen)

Hello hello chickadees!  I have some very exciting news for you!  I was invited to blog Culture Shock 2012 and give you a sneak peak at some of the goodies that you’ll be able to pick up!  This is the second year of Culture Shock, a CHIC Management event sponsored by MODAVIA Productions with proceeds going to Medicins Sans Frontieres (Doctors without Borders).  Last year, over $1 million linden was raised!

Every store has a mandatory participation of one NEW and EXCLUSIVE (for the duration of the event) item that gives 50 – 100% of the profits to the charity!

Culture Shock will be up and running May 4th through May 26th.  Please keep in mind that there is a script gate at the landing point.  Only 50 scripts or less must be worn in order to enter the event to help reduce lag.

Thank you to Keira Seerose, Anyalia Pearl, Kristy Seerose, and Prue Genira for all of your work for this event and charity!

I cannot wait to show you all what I found at culture shock!  Since I have so many different goodies for you, it will be spread among a few posts, with two looks per post.  Have fun and I hope you all enjoy!

Hi loves! I have some goodies for you today– unfortunately, not much of what I’m wearing is all that new, aside from the body co skin that I also blogged yesterday & some Mandala accessories.  I fiddled with my shape and I’m *much* happier with how this skin looks on me now!  Hooray!  At any rate, I don’t have much to talk about, so I’m going to go ahead and get on with the pictures & details for today’s look.

Hi my sweet little chickadees!

Ohhh let’s see, what goodies do I have for you today, hmm.  Well, I’m currently in love with these shoes from Diktator.  You all saw my previous post that I made about a month ago where I displayed Diktator’s “Obey” heels (with that sickeningly awesome spine heel), but these are another lovely pair of hot shoes that I’m enjoying prancing around in.  In addition, I paired the shoes with a few oldies that I found in my inventory, and the newest body co. skin, “Ivy,” which is a phenomenal skin imo, and I hope you’ll enjoy as much as I do!

I’ve gone cold in the heart

(Listen)

Hi darlings.

So, for those of you who regularly look at my flickr, you’ll have noticed that I suddenly logged in to find nearly half of my inventory gone.  Yes, gone! And LL apparently cannot do anything about it!  What a sad day that was for me!  Luckily, I am realizing which stores I can count on to have failproof re-delivery systems and have managed to be able to get a lot of my most favorite items back!  Instead of re-buying tons of old shit, I opted to buy some new stuff, a piece of which I have decided to blog for you today!

I found this corset (among a few others) on the marketplace today and was so excited.  I LOVE corsets.  I love MESH corsets even more, and these are just honestly beautifully done.  I hope you agree, I will post the pictures below!

No editing was done to these pictures today except for cropping.  Hooray shadows!

I’ll break your heart instead

Hello darlings!  I have some fun stuff for you today that I hope you’ll like!  These new mesh pants I’m wearing are literally my new favorite thing on the planet and I hope you all like them as much as I do.  I have been meaning to blog these wings that I got from LostHaven, but I’ve been too busy RPing to do it!  They’re seriously amazing.  You buy them and they come in both black & white options.  The model I’m displaying below is the seraphim wings (six wings in total) but they also come in a 2 wing version (aka normal angel wings).  Other than that, I don’t have a lot to talk about today, so I’ll just get on with the pictures and hope you all enjoy!

Lookin for a lost soul

(Listen)

Hi darlings!  I meant to post yesterday, but I got caught up in a whirlwind of a twelve-hour RP.  Can you say RP addict? when I looked at the clock and realized how late it was I couldn’t believe it.  Anyway!  This is what I wore yesterday, which I absolutely loved, because these new mesh skirts from Aura are absolutely fucking to-die-for.  You may in fact get another post from me today *if* I feel the desire to change   But until then, here are the pics and details and I hope you like

With eyes wide open, I’m dreaming

(Listen)

Hi my little lovebugs!  I know it’s been a while, and I’m sorry for that.  I reformatted my computer and was super lazy about getting photoshop back, etc.  At any rate, I have some new things to show you, along with some old things, and just in general my look is starting to settle down as I make this blog into something that I’m proud of, which is representing my own style and looks.  I sincerely hope you all enjoy this one.  I feel very cute today!
