[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!

"When the magic's white is too light and black is too dark, you need to choose the color of a varg."



Recently, I've been stalking VIGo's and KnickKnack's Lucky Chairs and the MiniMania again, hoping I'd be lucky and win one of the gorgeous fantasy/roleplay-outfits that both creators put so generously out to be won. It's always full priced items you can also buy in their shops, and since the texturing and the prim- and sculpt-work has convinced me long ago, I was rather excited when the 'S' finally showed up and blessed me with this beautiful ensemble. VIGo's Taliesin robe has an extraordinary collar solution and comes with sculpted sleeves and pants legs - the texture itself reminds of an expensive velvet, with a precious-looking edging of silver and black on the sleeves and chest piece.

If you don't feel like waiting for your lucky letter to come up, you can also purchase the robe directly in store; there is a number of 11 colors (grey, purple, green, red, teal, tan, white, yellow, black, brown and blue) to pick from which will be yours for 400 L$ each.
