Happy Memorial Day!

I've always had a thing for a sailor, but for this Memorial Day I salute all the Armed Forces and their families for their bravery and sacrifice. To our Afghanistan troops in particular, come home safely and soon.

Style Challenge

I nipped along to LeLutka yesterday to see if they had anything new and while I was there I slapped the subscriber and got this fatpack of hair.  It's a little different from my usual style so I challenged myself to put together a look.  I kept things simple and wore my meshy Lycia tank from Mon Tissue and my black leather pants from Fishy Strawberry and to match I slipped into these Mary Janes from Nardcotix. The piano is one of my favourite pieces of furniture and it seemed to fit the mood of the style.  It's from Lost Dog Designs.

Skin Deep

  

Beauty is a subjective thing and because of that we are fortunate to have skin designers in SL that cater to various ideas of beauty.  I thought I would do a little experiment. Without changing pose, lighting, hair, shape or clothing, I took pictures of my current default skin, Linn from Glam Affair along with some new or preview skins of other skin makers that I have worn in the past.  Linn is seductive and sexy to my eye.  Alyx from Pink Fuel is the second picture, and compared to Linn, she's fresh faced and sweet (and currently $99L at the main store if you hurry).

 The third picture is a group gift from Mynerva called Sara.  She looks younger, but it's all in the makeup or lack of it, in this case.  I was surprised how drawn to her I was.  She lacks the glamor of the other two, approaching beauty from a natural perspective.  And finally, a preview of Mynerva's Milena in porcelain and latte, also available to the group.  The Mynerva group costs $50L to join, but not a bad price for 3 skins.  I'm not as fond of the porcelain skin as I am of Sara's tone.  The latte is striking but I'll wait for the full line before falling in love. In the meantime, I may mix it up a bit between the first three, depending on my mood and the style I'm shooting for blog wise.

In case you want the rest of the items I'm wearing, they are Wasabi Pills mesh hair, Mayfly mesh eyes, Beetlebones mesh lashes, and Fishy Strawberry lingerie.

12 Days of Lingerie Challenge - day 1 Dolly

I'm not sure I have 12 lingerie pictures in me, at least not in a row. But I'm up for Gogo's challenge!  I thought I'd channel my inner Marilyn with this lacy and feminine Fishy Strawberry lingerie.  The detailing from the back is so impressive!  My hair is from Dura, and the pose from .evolve.

I don't know what to wear!

 I'm going to a New Year's Eve party tonight (RL) and have been in a quandary for days over what to wear. Too bad I can't raid Dolly's inventory. These pics came about from trying to decide on what to wear with the Mon Tissu mesh Lycia tank. None of my jeans looked right. Once I settled on Fishy Strawberry lingerie and my awesome bare feet from SLink, I knew I had a winner! Dolly's staying in tonight. ;-)

Both hairs are from Clawtooth. The top pose is from Del May and the bottom pose is another of April's upcoming series from Alterior Motions.
