HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!

Hello, everyone. I hope the new year will bring the very best your way!

I have been very, very busy in first life for the last couple of months. For those that know me in Second Life, this means I cannot do as much in Second Life as I normally would. This means less blogging, too. However, I hope to be back to normal within the next few days.

Happy New Year!

BURN2 WITH BYRNE BOUTIQUE CRACK IN TIME CORSET

I am a little late on sharing this, but here it is!

On October 22, 2016, The Edge Models and Stylists put on a fantastic show for the Burn2 event, in coincidence and honor of the actual Burning Man Festival which is held annually in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada, which is my home state. The theme for this year's Burn2 was "Da Vinci's Workshop." So, go ahead and think mechanical and steampunk!

The Edge's Da Vinci's Workshop show was a creative collaborative work of live art, with 23 stylists and models assembling spectacular outfits to enthrall the audience. Eleseren Brianna put her impressive creative writing talent to fantastic use and created a charming and endearing story for the show, with the premise that Leonardo had lost his inspiration and his muse would go searching to help him get it back. Along the way, she would encounter a myriad of possible inspirations.

I was very honored to be chosen to receive one of Bryne Boutique's wonderful creations. Bryne is a favorite of mine already, and I was absolutely delighted with the Crack in Time Black mesh corset I was given to style creatively for the show.

Here is my style. The mechanical giraffe, the wolf, and the leopard walked with me in the show. Below, you will see my creative take on the of the outfit. This same photo will be presented in the Night Gallery show coming up later this month; more details to follow later on that!

Here is a better look at the Crack in Time corset, for all of those of you that just have to have it! Is that not just totally adorable?!

Here is a look at the corset's bow tie on the shoulder and the NSP Madame de Floria hat. I love the detail in this hat! Look at those feathers and flowers!

!MUSA! AT WE LOVE ROLEPLAY

!Musa! has been very busy this month, indeed. Now, for We Love Roleplay, come the DemonicCirclet and Laura Eyeshadows sets.

The Laura eyeshadows sets come in two versions, the Laura Light and the Laura Deep. Each set has eight colors in the palette, and each shadow name is coordinated with the included color chart so you know exactly what the shadow looks like before you choose. I really love this because I don't have to try on all the makeups to find the right color.

The DemonicCirclets come in three different metal colors: Crimson, Dark, and Gold.

I chose to wear the Crimson DemonicCirclet, along with the Laura Deep 7 eyeshadow. Below, you can see these more closely. As always, !Musa! had done an outstanding job with the makeup blending and with the craftsmanship of the circlet.

Below are the complete color charts for the Laura Deep and Laura Light shadows.

Now, below, you can see the Dark and Gold circlets in fine detail.

We Love Roleplay will be open until October 31, so hurry to get these beautiful makeups and circlets at 30% off!

!MUSA! AT FALLEN GODS 9TH ANNIVERSARY MARKET AND THE MAKEOVER ROOM!

!Musa!'s adorable Animated TentacleChair could not be any cuter! Animated is the right word, too, because this thing moves! !Musa! has a way with animated creations, and this little chair does not disappoint! The end of the tentacle moves up and down with life. You just want to hug it, and you can, too, with one of the poses in the tentacle! The chair comes in three different colors: pink, green, and white. There are four poses with mirrors in this little creation, which is available at the Fallen Gods 9th Anniversary Market.

Here are two of the poses in the pink TentacleChair.

!Musa! has some lovely eyeshadows for you this month at The Makeover Room, the Lulu Eyeshadows set. I like the fact that !Musa! has created a color chart to coincide with the numbers in the names of the shadows. There is no guessing or trying on shadow after shadow to get the right one. At a glance, you can see which one you want to use.

I chose to wear the Lulu 5 color, which you can see in more detail here. Note how smoothly the colors blend together.

Here is the color chart for all the beautiful Lulu colors.

The Fallen Gods 9th Anniversary Market will be open through tomorrow, so hurry to get your own tentacle chair!

AT SWANK: SI, ZURI JEWELRY, GLITTER POSES

This month, Swank has joined with the Stuffs Groups to bring a spooktactular joint event and hunt your way.

First, I present Si's really fantastic design, the Anastacia, adorned with white and pink flowers. I love the cage that gives just an extra touch of magnificence to this creation. It comes with appliers for Belleza, Maitreya, and Omega. I am wearing the white edition, but there also is a black edition available.

The pose I am using is from Glitter Poses, from the exclusive Hips set. This set comes with ten different poses, many with mirrors. You can buy individual poses or buy the entire set.

Zuri Jewelry always has such wonderful designs for the shoppers. This month's exclusive offer is the French Kiss V2 set, which includes necklace, earrings, and a bracelet. There are four different color sets to choose from. I am wearing the Pink Diamond/Quartz set. You can see all the sets farther down.

Here is a detailed look at the back of the necklace and earrings.

Here is a very close look at the bracelet with all its intricate details. Such craftsmanship!

Here, you can see all the Zuri Jewelry sets available at Swank this month.

This is Zuri Jewelry's Spooktacular hunt gift. I am not going to say where the special black rose gift is located, but I will say it is worth the look and not so very hard to find!

There are over 100 designers bringing you all manner of wares to Swank this month, from makeup, clothing, accessories, and poses to home furnishings. There is something for everyone at the Swank n Stuff Gothic Spooktacular event running until the end of the month. Don't forget the hunt, with special black roses hidden around the Swank area. There are rides, a haunted house, and a photo contest. This is an exciting month, and you don't want to miss out.

AT SWANK: ISA D'ORABLE, ALTER, ZURI, LUMINESSE, LUNA BODY ART, BROCADE TIGER, CIRCA LIVING, PARK PLACE, PRISM POSES

Today, I have quite a collection of exclusive items from the Swank Free Style round.

First, from Isa D'orable Creations, I have the Corcy Pocket Watch set for the ladies. This is a corset top and matching pants set. The mesh top fits classic avatars and Belleza, Slink, and Maitreya mesh bodies. The pants come in fits for classic, Belleza, Slink, and Maitreya with a clothing applier HUD. There is also a texture-change HUD for the corset top with four different color patterns.

I am using Glitter Poses GP Simple Girl 4 in all the photos. These are sweet, feminine poses.

I must point out that the adorable pocket watch in its cute little pocket is not drawn on but is, rather, an actual mesh watch in an actual mesh pocket.  This is a unique and clever touch that I simply love. The buttons and clasps on the corset also are mesh. You can see those in more detail here.

For the men, Brocade Tiger has another unique creation, the Earthweave suit. The suit jacket, suit shirt, and pants come in the five standard sizes. This suit also comes in a blue variation.

Here, you can better see the details of the jacket design and tie of the Earthweave suit, as well as the details on the Corky corset.

Alter has several items on offer this month, including some shoes you simply cannot live without. There are three color options for you to choose from--black, which I am wearing today, red, and silver. They are available for Slink, Belleza, and Maitreya feet.

I love Zuri Jewelery, and this month's offer is the stunning Serpo Collection, which includes necklace, earrings, and bracelet. Zuri also offers a version 2 of the bracelet and a matching ring. I am wearing the Alexandrite/Copper/Creme rendition of the set, but there are two other color combinations, as well--the Black Sage and the Olive/Gold. All are lovely. Here, you can see the Serpo Collection earrings and necklace in greater detail.

This is a closer look at the Serpo bracelet that comes in the set.

The nails are Luna Body Art's A/W'16 set.

Here is a look at the Serpo V2 bracelet and Serpo ring that can be purchased separately from Zuri.

Again, you can see Luna Body Art's A/W'16 nail polish in greater detail.

Here are all the colors available in the A/W'16 set.

Stebi is wearing a very stylish ring from Luminesse's men's collection. It is the Rexler Wheat Gold Men's. The intricate detail work on this is fantastic.

Now, both Circa Living and Park Place Home Decor have some very nice home furnishings on exclusive offer this month.

Park Place has a selection of three different wood-burning stoves for you to choose from. I chose the Brick version because it suits the style and color scheme of my log cabin. Clicking on the door opens it and you get a menu to resize your stove. Once the door is open, clicking on the flames gives you another menu with the option to choose owner only, plus choices for sound, particles, and light on or off. The stove is copy-able, as well, so you can place one in different rooms around your home to keep you warm on those chilly nights.

Park Place also has three very charming rug and pillow sets to choose from. All these sets come in your choice of  Singles, Cuddles, or Adult animations. All the different sets have a large selection of animations, and they come with props as well.

The decor from Circa living makes a very nice fall addition to my home. All the pieces are from the Juniper Ridge collection. Three pieces are included in the Juniper Ridge Decor set. Those pieces are the Autumn Leaf Wreath, the Picture Ladder - Mixed Woods, and the Wall Shelf with Books & Vases. Also available for separate purchase is the Juniper Ridge Side Table with Planter - Cherry.

There also are Juniper Ridge Autumn Room sets available, which include everything you see here plus a sofa bench. There are four different sets available, each with a different color of sofa bench.

Here, you see me relaxing on the Park Place Cabin Floor Rug and Pillow set, surround by my lovely Circa Living room accessories.

Here is a cute couples animation in the Park Place Cabin Floor Rug and Pillow set.

You still have some days left to get all these exclusive items and many more at the Free Style round of Swank. There are over 100 designers offering something for everyone.

THE CIRCUS IS COMING!

But, this isn’t just any circus, this is the Cirque de L’Amour, being sponsored by L’Amour Productions to benefit The National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc. All the proceeds--yes, that’s right! 100% of the proceeds--are going to be donated to this very worthy cause.

The dust has been flying with the construction and setup of this very elaborate extravaganza, which is going to open its doors, or, should I say, it’s tent flaps, on September 24 at 10:00 a.m. with the big show under the big tent, where you will be delighted by a full three-ring performance that includes an amazing eight acts. Care for a teaser? Well, how about a zebra being shot from a cannon?! I said this isn’t just any circus, and the zebra is only the first act! Think, “avant garde under the big top” for this production!

Of course, this three-ring show is just the beginning of the fun. You certainly can’t miss out on the midway, oh, no! Keep your eyes on the lookout for all your favorite treats and games, and there is even a kissing booth—oh, my! And, the rides! You won’t have to keep your eyes too wide open to spot the yellow Ferris wheel! Wherever your eyes fall, you will see still more performances on the midway.

For those that like to own truly exclusive items, there is a silent auction, as well, with many designers donating some really fantastic designs.

And, for the cherry on top, you will have some of Second Life’s best DJs spinning it up for your dancing pleasure throughout the day.

You may want to consider changing your windlight setting to Midnight so you can see the entire production in its best light, so to speak.

The circus midway will be there for the entire day, finally closing the tent flaps at 5:00 p.m. I invite you all to come and partake in this truly amazing event. 

Here is an overall view of the midway, with the monorail platform in the front and center and the 3-floor elevator at the back left of the monorail platform. One floor down behind the monorail is the dance floor, and in the back you can see the big top, ready and waiting!

Here is a closer look at some of the rides and attractions, with the elevator entrance on the left. To the right of the carousel are the stairs up to the dance floor, should you want to engage in a little extra exercise instead of taking the elevator!

Here is the entrance to the big tent. You can see the three rings inside bursting with excitement to entertain you!

This truly is going to be a spectacular show, and you absolutely do not want to miss it, believe me!

Here is your taxi. When you land, continue straight ahead over the bridge, and you will arrive in Cirque-land! See you there!

AT SWANK: PREY, HEARTSDALE JEWELLERY, TASHI, GLITTER POSES, 3RD EYE PERCEPTIONS

Today, I am presenting the Endangered outfit by Prey, shoes included. The mesh belt dress comes in the five standard sizes. I am wearing the small size, which fits my Maitreya Lara mesh body perfectly. The dress top and bottom are flexi-prims with a rainbow-colored pheasant-feathers pattern. The shoes come in fits for Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink, which I am wearing. The nipple covers are separate from the rest of the dress, and, very-much welcomed, they can be edited separately to get a perfect fit to cover this area.

My jewelry accessories come from Heartsdale Jewellery. I am wearing the complete set of Mystic Rainbow Silver pieces. There are three separate necklace parts that can be mixed and matched for just the perfect desired look. There also is a gold set available.

My handsome companion is Elderwood Dren. There are three standing versions of this fellow: Standing (which you see below,) Looking, and Grazing. There are three coats available by touch menu. I love the bark horns; there are eight versions of those available via the touch menu. There are even animated "sparks" on the horns, too. My Dren has the natural coat and ash horns. The gems on his head are tintable to any desired color by using the Simple Color Picker HUD.

My pose comes from Glitter Poses Simple Girl set. This pose is GP Simple Girl 4. There is a full set of six poses with mirrors available, with a total of twelve poses, or any of the poses can be purchased individually. These are very feminine, sweet poses.



Here is a closer look at this handsome Elderwood Dren creature, looking very regal with the jewels adorning his head. 3rd Eye Perceptions really does a great job of creating unusual and charming items. Just look at the detail in those bark horns!

Now, for a closer look at the Prey Endangered dress. You can better see the feather patterns in the top and skirt.

This pose is Glitter Poses GP Simple Girl 3. Again, you can see the sweet quality of these poses.

Here is a closer Look at Heartsdale's Mystic Rainbow Silver set. It compliments the rainbow colors of the top and skirt very well.

Also a great compliment to the Mystic Rainbow set and Endangered dress are the Rainbow Brite nails set from Tashi. This set comes with three bright solid colors and two rainbow options.

Here is a closer look at the nail colors HUD for Slink hands, but there also are Belleza, Maitreya, and Omega appliers.

And, of course, you want to see the incredibly detailed work that has gone into the unique Endangered shoes, which come in Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink, which I am wearing here. I absolutely love these! This pose is GP Simple Girl 2 from Glitter Poses. And, of course, the nail polish is Tashi's Rainbow Brite.

Swank is just getting started, but you don't want to wait to start shopping, with over 100 designers offering wares for clothing, beauty, home, and garden.

AT SWANK: NSP, SEMI-PRECIOUS JEWELRY, DREAMLAND DESIGNS, GLITTER POSES

Swank is now open for the September round, the Free Style round. There are some wonderful designs to be found this September!

I love NSP designs, and I am very delighted to share this very cute outfit with you. This is the Woodstock Daisy ensemble. There are the Woodstock Daisy Tank Dress, the Woodstock Daisy Leggings and Boots, and the Woodstock Hair with Beanie, each sold separately for only 199 lindens.

The beanie and the dress both come with three daisy attachments, each daisy attaching individually. I am wearing the yellow daisies with brown centers from the Woodstock Daisy Flower Texture Hud V1, but there are nine other daisy HUDs you can purchase separately for only 99 lindens per HUD. There are many color possibilities if you want to mix and match: wear one, two, or three daisies, in any combination of the colors, or wear none at all! Of course, these daisies are so charming you will want to wear them!

The Woodstock Daisy Tank Dress is available in five fitmesh sizes for classic avatars, Slink, Hourglass, Belleza, and Miatreya, which I am wearing. The Woodstock Daisy Leggings and Boots come in fits for classic avatars, Slink, Belleza, and Miatreya, which I am wearing. These, too, have a daisy on them!

I am using a pose from Glitter Poses, GP Simple Girl 2. There is a full set of six poses with mirrors available, for a total of 12 poses, or you can purchase any of the poses individually. These are sweet, feminine poses.

Here, you can see the daisy attachments on the beanie and belt more closely. Speaking of the belt, notice the very fine detailing on the metalwork!

Again, I am using Glitter Poses GP Simple Girl 2.

These are all the colors available in the daisy HUDs.

Here is a closer look at the Daisy Leggings with Boots. The dress, leggings, and beanie all come with texture change HUDs for the fabrics. You can see all the fabric colors here.

The hair also comes with a color HUD, as well. There are many colors available on this HUD. You can see all those colors here.

I am wearing the beautiful Brenna Necklace from Semi-Precious. This set comes with necklace, earrings, and ring. From the megapack, I chose gold metal, a gold teardrop pendant, and gold stones. This is a very beautiful combination, but there are many, many colors and combinations possible. You can see what the megapack HUD looks like below. If you would prefer to buy sets with selections by color groupings, there are eight color HUDs available for that option, too. All the HUDs come with metal changes for Antique, Silver, and Gold.

Here is a close look at the Brenna necklace. Also note the exquisite detail of the Color of Autumn Pathway Flowers from Dreamland Designs. More about them below.

Here is a closer look at the Brenna ring, also in the gold colors. Look at the detail on the band and on the metalwork with the little stones. And, of course, look at that beautifully intricate blossom pendant.

This is the Megapack HUD with all the gem choices for the Brenna set.

Here are all the pieces in the Brenna sets.

Now, but certainly not least, Dreamland Designs has made the beautiful daisies and sunflowers sets, Color of Autumn Pathway Flowers, you see surrounding me and on which the Brenna necklace is displayed. These are highly detailed plants, including sprinkles of water on the leaves. These groupings are copy, so you can make as many of them as you want--a whole field of flowers, if your heart desires!

Swank will be open until the end of the month, presenting more than 100 designers with creations for clothing, beauty, home, and garden. There is something for everyone!
