[ears and necks]

I can never resist buying stretched ears in SL, probably because I have them in RL, too, and want to check how 'real' they're looking, so I was more than pleasantly surprised and excited when I saw [Mandala]'s advertisement for their new release. Created from unrigged mesh, you can choose between 5 hole sizes, tunnel- or plug ears, 210 plug arts, 88 tunnel colours, 40 piercing- and 18 diamond colours - and all that in one pack! A HUD allows you to tint your skin, resize the ears and change between the different motives and shades, and there is also the possibility to pick if you're wanting to alter the left, right, or both ears at once. You can see some of the variants in the picture above. All taken together, it's a gorgeous piece of work and definitely worth its money!

After my ears got a new 'outfit', it felt like my neck was in need of a make over as well. And there's been so many opportunities to buy some truly unique and great jewelry lately! At the Cinema Event, for example, Maxi Gossamer is offering one of her stunning necklace sets, the 'Peaceful Love' Dogtags (shown on the left). Also at Cinema, and shown on the right, you can purchase the spacy necklace from .:* LOULOU&CO *:. called ::COSMOS::. And at The Mens Dept, KOSH seduced me with their Copeck necklace, which is available in three different shades of metal. A matching armband is available, too, so make sure to add these awesome necklaces to your jewellery folder before they're gone!

[the doctor's secret]

If they'd ever find out what he was actually doing in his lab at night, instead of working on a cure for the living, he'd most likely be as dead as the human guinea pigs he had on his examination table. Their obscenely opened bodies, sprawled out on the blood soaked wood, gave him an insight not only into their mysterious anatomy, but also brought him closer to the fulfillment of his most secret ambition: his desire to find the last, the final ingredient he needed to brew the potion of eternal life... a passionate, loving heart.



Welcome back to Vintage Fair! Yes, it's still open and running until the 29th of August, so here's a little reminder in case you want to go and purchase some of the delectable and unique outfits and accessories being offered there. Today I'm featuring A:S:S's contribution, the Bryant outfit, which is named after a famous American romantic poet. This mint-teal coloured set contains the socks, breeches, vest, shirt and the sumptuous coat in all possible layers so you can mix and match it, and the tricorne is available in 4 different variants. No matter if you're involved in periodic roleplay or need a costume for a party - the Bryant suit is certainly not going to disappoint you!

[piglet pink marzipan]²

CHIC² is celebrating its 2nd birthday in June, and an awesome event that includes dozens and dozens of the best loved CHIC clients invites you to join the party and indulge yourself in a true shopping spree! All of the offered items have been exclusively made for the event, and there is some gorgeous things to be found, from clothing to jewellery, poses, hair, and many, many more.

When I first saw the suits from [Cheerno], especially the pink one, I immediately had to think of... piglet pink marzipan! The colour is so cute and squeaky that I couldn't resist grabbing it, and I wasn't disappointed. Made from mesh, you can wear it with the jacket open or closed, and the included tee-shirt can be worn tucked into the pants or just untucked for a more casual look. And if pink is not your shade, you can also go for the more subtly coloured versions. Go and try a demo!

[hairy spring affair]

Spring is a bit indecisive here - after a couple of weeks that were hot enough to be summer weather already, it's grey and drizzling now, so I'm rather thankful for SL's more predictable seasons. And with spring being around, I usually get the urge to give my inventory and looks a make over... this time, it were these two hairstyles I simply had to add to my collection. The one on the left is one of booN's latest releases, an incredibly realistic looking pair of long dreadlocks - in mesh! Needless to say that I immediately fell in love and bought one of the darker colour packs that includes three shades: chocolate, which I'm wearing in the picture, black and purple. Please make sure you're trying the demo that's available in store for free.

The Creators Pavillion is having a spring sale right now (ending April 15th), and that's where I grabbed the hair on the right, a feathery and slightly messy style from the - to me - unknown store called [INK]. Even though it's not scripted, the manual resizing works quite easily, and there is a bunch of 6 shades to pick from for a mere 69 L$ each. Demos are available as well. Since *ARAI* is represented at the sale as well and offers some pieces of their collection at half price, the fresh looking and vibrantly coloured nylon parka in teal made it into my shopping cart, too. Due to both female and male attachments being included in the folder, it's even unisex! Swing by at the Creators Pavillion sale and give yourself (and your home, for there is also several deco- and furniture items available) a vernal make over!

[looking hot through the dekades]

It's already been a while again since [dekade] returned to Second Life, but in my opinion it's never too late to show a sexy, new skin. That's right, fresh meat for you, boys! Anderson comes in light and dark flesh tones with matching brow colours and two different styles of eyebrows - a well-tended and a more bushy variant to choose from. Each pack contains a skin with hair base and without, and body hair is included on a tattoo-layer, as well as fitting genitals. You can also purchase different beard styles for each skin! In case you're stopping by at the store, which I highly recommend, make sure to grab the free skin that's so generously been offered there, one for the ladies and one for the gents. And now - have a non-offensive Saturday! :P
