#824 - Welcome to Miami!

 I found a place! Very nice looking and looks just like Miami Beach! It is Miami Beach! So I just wanted to say, Welcome to Miami! Having been recently, I loved that I found this place. I saw it on social media somewhere and that is where I found it. Not sure if this is a permanent place or only temporary, but I am enjoying it!

It's the closest to looking like the Ocean Drive strip that I have seen so far. I really love this one! I hope it stays around for a while, I am loving just sitting on the beach enjoying the music and the scenery.

I am also here to show off this sweet tank top from Sn@tch! It is the ::Sn@tch - Nell Halter Top! This is on the new release wall and has so many pattern choices included! 42 random patterns are included in the hud. It fits the Belleza Isis & Freya, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya and Maitreya Petite, Slink Hourglass and Slink Petite. Very cute and I thought this pattern was great for the Miami Beach area! It's all about the colors here! There are quite a few more new releases on the New Release Wall at Sn@tch, so I hope you get a chance to get by there and check them out! You can fish for a whole outfit there too!

The swim bottoms, or panties are from Scandalize Yacotah! Thank you to Ylenia Fae for those! 

This is also one of the new releases from Glam Affair! Meet Martina! You can find this new face at the current UBER shopping event. Martina comes in 4 of the newest Glam Affair BOM skin tone range and 3 Tones to match the new Ipanema Body Skin from Velour. I am wearing Brownie on the Lelutka Evo X - Briannon head with the matching Brownie body skin tone from Velour on the Legacy Mesh Body. UBER runs thru July 22nd. This is an Evo X skin. Which means you must have one of the Lelutka Evo X heads to wear this skin properly. You can find the matching Glam Affair body skins in the main store and the Ipanema body skins at Velour.

#504 - Dreaming Thicket's Lovely Laelia Gowns @ We Love Roleplay

I am jumping in here to show you just one of a few beautiful gowns from Dreaming Thicket at the current We Love Roleplay event this month. 

DREAMING THICKET - LAELIA GOWN - LEAF (LONG HEM) (MAITREYA LARA)

This hugs my body so nicely. and it looks great! Get your fill of compliments when wearing this beautiful gown in this color, Leaf, or in any of the six colors available at the We Love Roleplay event. And they are at a discounted price only while at the event! So come on by the event before it ends on September 30th.

The Dreaming Thicket - Laelia gown comes with sizes for mesh bodies and a fitted standard mesh size. The mesh body sizes included are for Bellezas, Slinks and Maitreya Lara. The fit shown above it the Maitreya Lara Mesh Body. It fits me wonderfully!

Along with the gown I have a couple of Twisted Main Gift prizes from the Twisted Hunt Inferno this month too. And seen in the above picture is just one of the body tattoos from ***DSO*** (#57). This is the Twisted Inferno Tatt in Moss. Because you know me and the greens! It looked great on this Orc skin from .:Soul:. too!

The Twisted Hunt lasts the entire month but don't wait til the end to get through the hunt, you may be sorry! It takes some time and then you have the End Game too! Which by the way, is also due in many parts to the creator behind Dreaming Thicket. She also creates those amazingly creative Twisted Hunt End Games we have trudge and fight and make our ways through to get to the final prizes in the hunt! Always worth it though once you make it! But NOT easy! At least never is for me!

DSO - TWISTED MASK GACHA - STRANGE BREW MASK --- ASTARA - SPIKED SEPTUM --- SN@TCH - LAMIA HAIR & HORNS

Not shown above (my mistake!), but shown here is the ***DSO*** Twisted Strange Brew Mask (mask gacha) went so well with this skin, gown and all my greens you see here. This is a gacha at the DSO store (#57). There are masks in the many colors of all the Twisted Hunts in this gacha! And for only a few lindens to play.

Also seen here is the Twisted Main Gift from Sn@tch, the Sn@tch Lamia Hair (horns included) is your prize for finding the cube at Sn@tch (#13). And as always in some nice goth colors and ombres that match the theme of each hunt or event, like the one seen here. Don't miss the side hunt there! See the Flickr pic for the poem concerning the side hunt (or slap the easel at the store).

And, even more Twisted Main Prizes from Astara (#35) and Grogo's Gadgets (#70) too! Which have both seen a lot of time in my Twisted blog posts. Because I love! Thank you so much to all those merchants who've sent out blogger packs. I am trying hard to get to as many as possible. So glad we have a team of bloggers covering the hunt now. Who, FYI, are all listed on the front page of my blog! 

Dreaming Thicket @ We Love Roleplay - Ends September 30th

#296 - More New In The Store @ Facepalm Clothing Company!

So deeply in thought I was after taking a walk around the yard. This place is so beautiful and there are store rentals and home rentals here too. I reminisce about times past where I handled rentals and was thinking... Could I do that again? After thinking and welcoming the soft breeze and the fragrant smells of the blooms in the tree I was leaning on, I thought to myself, shook my head to clear my thoughts and said, "Hell No! Geez! What was I thinking?"

+FCC+ LEEANN & !HEAD DESK! SUNNY

Here I am wearing the new denim mini skirt, +FCC+ Leeann. Made for all types of mesh bodies and has a 10 texture hud! Standard Mesh, 3 Belleza, 2 Tonic, 2 Slink, Maitreya, eBody & TMP sizes! You can find +FCC+ Leeann in the store now.

+FCC+ KRISTY

+FCC+ Kristy is also new in the store. I love the peek a boo dresses that Ripley has released! I can cover myself but you can still see a lot of slightly veiled skin! Very sexy, this one is a one shoulder bared dress, I myself don't have too many of these, so I really like them when I get the chance, and this one also being sheer here and there makes it even better! It comes with an 8 color hud and sizes for mesh bodies only: 3 Belleza, 2 Slink, 1 Maitreya & TMP sizes. 

And there you have it! More new in the store! Don't forget the hunts mentioned in the last +FCC+ post and now if you wear your tag (if you are a member of the store group), you can buy at the lower price seen on the menu! But only if you wear your group tag. So join now!

#233 - Great Looks From +Facepalm+ To Start Off The New Year Right! +FCC+

Are you tired of dressing up now? Well, I can't say that I went to so many parties that I am tired of it so sorry about that but, I do love me some casual clothes! And that is what I have for you today!

+FCC+ ARDELIA SWEATER - MAITREYA LARA SIZE W/GOT BEER JEANS

This is a Premium Only Event and it ends on January 7th, so it should be in the store soon! This is the +FCC+ Ardelia Sweater. It comes in 5 Standard Mesh, 3 Belleza, 2 Slink, 1 TMP and 1 Maitreya size. I am wearing the Maitreya size in the picture. It also comes with an 8 texture HUD! It's a great winter casual sweater.

Then there comes a time when all you really want is a good beer! I stumbled over to the bar, barely upright asking for more! Looks like I had a few too many though!

+FCC+ GOT BEER LADIES OUTFIT (MEN'S OUTFIT ALSO AVAILABLE)

I am wearing the +FCC+ Got Beer outfit that includes a Tube Top, Overshirt, Jeans and Boots. The Fitmesh Tube Top comes in 5 Standard Mesh, 3 Belleza, 2 Slink, 2 Tonic, 1 TMP and 1 Maitreya size. 

The Jeans and Overshirt come in 5 Standard Mesh, 3 Belleza, 2 Slink, 1 TMP and 1 Maitreya size. And the boots are mesh. There is also a men's version in the store too!

So dammit, I still looked good even if I can't hold my liquor! Yup!

#116 - What To Wear, What To Wear? {DC} DarkCandy Creations

She is stuck in a decision she needs to make quickly! But with the options she's been given, how could she possibly decide?! They are both such gorgeous gowns and either could be appropriate for the occasion. A night out dancing with a dear friend.

AIREANNA DRESS - PURPLES - MAITREYA SIZE SHOWN

The first choice is the Aireanna Gown in the Maitreya size (with very few alpha cuts), but it also comes in Fitted Mesh, Standard Mesh and Slink sizes too. So one should fit your body well. Aireanna has a mesh harness to protect your lower lady parts along with a matching crotch cover for modesty. Harness and crotch cover are mesh and come in standard sizes. The high heels come in both a Maitreya High Heel and a Slink High Heel. The dress, crotch cover and heels are all matching via the included HUD, I have the Purples HUD(dark).

#48 - The Twisted Hunt has begun! Let the madness begin!!!

Twisted (theme: Odyssey) ~ The hardest hunt in SL runs from March 1st thru March 31st and if you have not done it before, be warned! It is the The Hardest Hunt in SL! It is very hard and very frustrating at times. And the group members and merchants are all so great and very helpful. The Merchants come up with such great prizes, they just keep getting better year after year! And I always make a few new friends every hunt - which is twice a year, along with other events. 

I love finding and creating the strangest, weirdest, or yes, Twisted looks with the prizes found on this hunt! I tend to do many different looks during the hunt so this is only the first of a few expected posts! I love, love, love the Twisted Hunt and have for quiet a few years since I discovered this hunt. This group is very lively and entertaining, it remains active throughout the year and I've come to know many of the group members and its one group I will not be giving up. We are a Twisted sort of people and its feels very much like a community. Okay enough of the mushy stuff! Let's get to the look!

:{MV}: Astraea Black Velvet Outfit & Location: Fallen Gods

My first Twisted Look of the Week is this Astraea Black Velvet Outfit from :{MV}:, this item I actually bought at location #3 from the Riot Vendor. So I kinda cheated here by doing that but, I had to have it! I was assisted by many others in the Twisted Hunt group (Thank You all so much!!!) and from friends (Thank You too!!! Very much!) and we got it down to $155 from a previous $415 when I arrived there! Her hunt gift is a similar item but in White (I hope I am okay giving out that spoiler!). This outfit from the Riot Vendor includes the arm and wrist bracers, Circlet and Slink Flat sandals, for a complete look! Many of the merchants along the hunt have Twisted Specials, Gachas and Limited Edition items as well! Lots to find on this hunt other than the hunt prizes.

SoG Twisted Odyssey Gold/Onyx Jewelry Set ~ Makeup Fall 2015 Twisted Hunt prize also available @ :::Sn@tch

Next item is an actual hunt gift, this Twisted Odyssey Gold/Onyx Jewelry Set from Secrets of Gaia. This set includes the crown, and in this pic those lighter colored jewels are part of my hair not the crown! So, the Crown, Two Tiaras (not shown), Earrings, Necklace and Bracelets. This is store #1 on the hunt list. 

And of course I needed to finish off the look with the main hunt prize from [:Rad Designz:]! They have a gorgeous set of Gold & Black Nails in Slink, Maitreya and with Omega appliers! And they go great with this outfit! There are six designs and you can have that for free too! [:Rad Designz:] also has a side hunt where you can rack up a bunch more gift nails! You will be set with nails for a while with all the ones you can find in their side hunt! I am showcasing the Main gift set below:

Main Hunt Gift - [:Rad Designz:] 

These are shown on the Maitreya Lara Mesh Body - Long length nails. And these designs are gorgeous! And they are FREE!!! All the hunt gifts are Free and most all the side hunts are also free! Lots of quality items on this hunt! If you love Gold and Black, you will want to check this hunt out! 

And these are my favorite for the toes, which happen to be Slink Flat Feet.

#24 - A Frosty Elven Beauty

An Elven look is what I chose to do with this Frost - Laguna Ice skin from Fallen Gods we Fallens acquired as a Group Gift at year end this past year. If you are into RP these skins should be on your list of items you need to create your look (No, I do not RP at all, I just like looking like I do!). This skin is a greenish/tealish color and I only softened the pictures and didn't add any other filters so hopefully you can see the colors as they are in Second Life. Again as with other lighter skins I tend to have a lot of trouble finding a look I like but I found a few looks that I really like with this skin. 

Fallen Gods - Frost - Laguna Ice skin - Year End Group Gift

And it went great with a purchase I made from Arcadia, the Elohim outfit in Mint, which I originally wanted to use with another green skin but it did not go well with that one, so I was kinda upset over having bought it and it not going well with that skin. But! This skin came along and yay! It goes great with this one. The Blix Ears from .:Soul:. are matched perfectly because included with the skin are appliers for those brand of ears, along with Slink, Omega and other appliers, every part of my body is perfectly matching. So, so great! The hair is from Runaway Hair. Makeup is from Sn@tch and Senzafine. Everything you see of the outfit comes with the Elohim set from Arcadia, including the wings. I have tinted the wings a bit to make those match better but that is the only thing I've added some tinting to. And now for a bit of a closer look at the details on the skin and the makeup.

Makeup: Eyes - Sn@tch & Lips - Senzafine

I did a few looks but I will save the third look for my Flickr pictures. But here is another look I liked a lot. I changed the hair and used a gacha dipped horned hair from ploom to get this look.

Posing on the Island of Misfit Toys 

I thought the ears and the horns were a bit much so I dropped off the ears and made myself more of a devilish look instead. Dipped white hair with Teal ends and the horns where whitish/greyish but I tinted them to make them match the wings and skin better. And while taking pics I found a nice winter sim, The Island of Misfit Toys. I didn't find the toys but I was looking for good spots to take pics so I was pretty distracted! But I love the end result of this pic. 

Close up of the Devilish Look with the Frost - Laguna Ice skin

In both these looks I was using the Chus! Eyes in Bark, which sadly I can no longer locate anymore. I happened to win two fatpacks of eyes from those gachas sometime early in 2015(I think!) at a special gacha event if anyone remembers seeing them please let me know so I can properly credit which event this was at, or just the store which I cannot seem to locate either! I love their eyes!

#22 - Disco Dance Party deserves a great Disco look!

Last week I attended a Disco music set by one of my favorite DJs and good friend, DJ Star (Starman2k7 Randt). I showed up and he and his host were all dressed up in Disco outfits with afros and all that! I had seen the notice but I'd been so busy with RL family and blogging in between so I forgot to get an outfit together so when I showed up I was in one of my blogging outfits. Sure, not everyone shows up all dressed up and I've not been to a themed party in soooo long. But I felt so out of place until the beat hit me! LOL. But still I wanted to dress up too, so when I found out Part 2 of the Disco set was today, I had to get in costume and join the fun! Here is the result and it was perty cheap! And I cheated a little with my own stuff! I can't believe I did not have any disco clothing in my inventory!

I cheated by wearing some slink heels I already had so they weren't in theme but they matched! And the flexi at the bottom of the outfit hid them anyway. There was no one there looking at my shoes! The Fro and the outfit was perfect! And it only cost me $45 Lindens! Outfit - Shoes (which I did not use) - Jewelry - Earrings (not worn) AND the Afro where included! There are a few things I didn't wear from the outfit trying to make it as I liked it. And this was the end result! I love it! I ended up partying in it later at an R&B club too... totally out of character there but I liked it that much! LOL. So, I had to share it here too! 

Kickin' it @ "The Dish"

Yup, I had dances to match the theme too. I kept digging and I found more than I knew I had so I must have done this before sometime that I've forgotten! Hope you get the chance to hear this DJ if you like R&B, Funk and Ol' Skool music, he loves to play that and on Tuesdays at 2 pm SLT, its on at The Dish with DJ Star! Next week, its Funk music! Inworld he is Starman Randt.
