!MUSA! IS BACK AT THE MAKEOVER ROOM!

It's wonderful to have !Musa! back with some beautiful new lipsticks at The Makeover Room this month. You can find two new lipsticks, the Epona Warm and the Epona Cool. Here, I am wearing one of the Epona Warm tones.

Here are all the warm tones:

And, here are all the cool tones:

All these colors come in classic tattoos or, for those with mesh heads that are Omega compatible, there is an Omega applier, as well.

You can buy each tone separately.

I was invited to be a model for the August Virtual Diva Magazine for the "Fashion Trends Celebrating Diversity" editorial, a beautiful layout with beautiful photography by Shantal Gravois.

I created a styling for the Mayan culture, one which I find very appealing in many ways, which I will not go into here and now.

This is the outfit I styled as photographed by Miss Gravois. I am very pleased with the wonderful job she did, as well as with the wonderful creations I wore. Irrisistible Shop always has beautiful things, and this outfit could not have been possible without Irrisistible Shop. Thank you, Isis!

!MUSA! AT WE LOVE ROLE-PLAY

!Musa! has created another vibrantly beautiful eyeshadow for We Love Role-Play, the Eyeshadow Agnes palette. I absolutely love the blending of these shadows as the colors smoothly flow together without any seams. Great artistry here! You get a set of eight color combinations for either classic avatars or with the Omega applier.

I am wearing the Cyan color here.

Here is the entire palette of color choices.

These eyeshadows are a must-have for any wardrobe!

AT SWANK: BLACKROSE, REBELLION, THE ROMANO COLLECTION, VINTAGE TOUCH, CIRCA LIVING

More wonderful things are awaiting you at Swank!

I am wearing the very cute Blackrose Corset Set. This outfit comes with two pieces: a top that has pouffe sleeves and a high-waisted corset skirt. The skirt has a very nice addition in the fabric, which you can see below.  There are several color options that can be purchased separately. There is the Black set, which I am wearing, but there also are the Black/Ice (white), the Black/Pink, the Black/Red, the Black/Sky (blue), and the Leaf set, which is a yellow top with brown skirt. The sets come in the standard five sizes.

Stebi is wearing Rebellion's Revenant jacket. This very finely-crafted jacket comes with a HUD to change both the leather color as well as the shirt design. There are six leather colors and eight shirt options, including no shirt. The jacket comes in small, medium, and large, plus two fitmesh sizes.

Stebi's Urban Leather Pants come from the Romano Collection. There are six different color options to choose from, ranging from black to greys to browns that can be bought separately. Stebi is wearing the brown edition. These unusual pants are available in the standard five sizes, but also come in Slink, Adam, Aesthetic, and TMP.

And, here is that adorable addition to the skirt material I mentioned earlier. I fell in love with this the moment I saw it! I love corsets, anyway, but when I saw that sweet fabric, I was not going anywhere!

Here are the backs of those very nice Revenant jacket and Urban Leather Pants. You can see the detailed work that has gone into the fleur-de-lis pattern on the jacket back and into the studs on the pants pockets.

I am wearing the Veritas Silver Pendant in aquamarine from Vintage Touch. This necklace also is availabe in amethyst, emerald, diamond, ruby, and sardonyx. Vintage Touch is offering a gift this month, the Blue Abalone Ring.

Here, you can see the very skilled detail in the Revenant jacket, including a fleur-de-lis on the upper arm.

Stebi is wearing the Boldt Koren men's necklace from Luminesse.

Circa Living has much to offer shoppers this month. There are the Cafe Volo sets, Tall Table & Stool Sets that are available in nine different color combinations for the table and two chairs. Circa Living also is offering many different neon and chalk signs. The style can be used for either a coffee house or bar setup (or both.)

Each Cafe Volo tall table and stools set has many café quality animations for drinking, eating, chatting, reading, listening to music, including stands and various sits for both male and female. Each stool seat has 16-plus animations and each table has 15 stand animations. In addition, there are automatically rezzing props to go with the animations. And, each table set comes with a floral and shakers centerpiece.

Stebi and I are using the Cafe Volo Cherry/Dk Cocoa set with the Red centerpiece. On the wall directly behind us is the Cafe Volo Neon Coffee Sign. This sign does not have any texture-change options, but the Hot Coffee Cup and Premium Coffee cup signs do have seven texture-change wood colors: teak, hazelnut, hazelnut2, cocoa, cherry, black, and silver. These two signs are just two options from the many Coffee and Cocktail signs available.

A NOTE OF INTEREST: Each time before I post a blog, I check all the landmarks and Marketplace links to make sure they all are accurate.

There is about a week of fantastic shopping time left for the Swank event. Be sure to get all your living needs from the more than 100 designers, all with exclusive items at 300 lindens or less, and even gifts!

AT SWANK: LEGENDAIRE, LUMINESSE, MODERN COUTURE

Legendaire has created a very lovely dress for this round of Swank, the Victoria. This dress fits classic as well as Belleza and Maitreya. It comes with a HUD with four different dress print options to choose from. Besides this sweet owl, squirrel, and roses print, there is a floral print, and brown bead and black bead versions, too. This dress also comes with the boots!

Here, you can see the side of the dress with the squirrels on it.

Here is what the HUD looks like so you can see more clearly the other dress options.

Here, you can see the boots in more detail. Notice the intricate laces and bows!

Starting at the top, Modern Couture is offering this lovely Hera Gold Tiara. The tiara also comes in black and silver, and has three rows of bands adorned with pearls surrounded by petals.

Next, Luminesse has given us a lovely necklace and earrings set called Emma Roise, inspired by the Irish Song, "My Wild Irish Rose." I am wearing the Megan Gold set, with brown roses to match the brown in my Victoria dress as well as the gold in the Hera Gold Tiara.

Here, you can see the pieces of the Megan Gold set.

The Emma Roise also comes in Aine Gold, with pink roses, as you can see here.

The theme for Swank this month is Luck of the Irish, naturally enough, and you can find exclusive designs from nearly 100 designers for fashion, beauty, home and garden, and even something for children. Everything is 300 lindens or less. Many of the designers also have placed gifts for the shoppers, as well, and there is a special treat this month: GACHAS! I will not admit to being a gacha addict or anything like that, of course. Swank continues through the end of the month, so you still have time to get these wonderful creations for yourself.

VISIONAIRE INSTITUTE APPLICATION PHOTOGRAPHS

I blog. It's what I do. Laugh out loud. As a blogger, I am sharing the great creations of Second Life designers with the whole shopping world. Well, I also am a shopper, and when I go shopping, if the ads are too artful, to the point of not correctly representing the colors and shapes of the designs on display, I most often will not buy those items, and certainly never if there is no demo available so I can accurately look at the items as I would be using them.

Therefore, when I am representing designs to potential buyers in my blogs, I keep my photos straight-forward and simple, with very little in-world manipulation or post-photo editing, so the buyers can accurately see what they will be buying.

That does not mean that I don't have a fledgling creative side tucked away down in there, however! I have been wanting to take the Visionaire Institute photography course for some time. I recently attended a Photography for Models workshop conducted by Visionaire, and that really opened up my eyes to what I didn't know and was missing out on in my use of Second Life and Firestorm photography tools! Now, more than ever, I want to take the full Visionaire photography course so I can fully learn and take advantage of the photography tools at my disposal.

To apply, applicants must submit from three to five photographs taken by them. At least one of these photos must be RAW, meaning there is no post-photo processing work done on it. Well, that made my decision easy! I would submit some RAW photos and save myself some work!

Now, for the photo submissions for the Visionaire Institute application, I took the liberty of actually going out to take some "creative" photos using the tools I had learned about in the Visionaire workshop, since there certainly is not an abundance of creative photos lying around in my inventory! I chose three of those I took specifically for the Visionaire application to go along with one other photo I actually had in my inventory that I had done some creative work on previously.

Now, for the photos!

This first one is the one I had done some creative work on previously. I used it for the Models Magazine October Horror Challenge. I was one of the winners and was featured in the magazine.  I call it "Crow Queen." This photo was taken at the DarkDharma Haunted Manor and Haunted Forest sim.

The second Visionaire submission was taken on a sim I discovered while looking for a place to take blog photos. I call this one Mirrors. This, I did do a bit of post-photo work on. You can go to the Oniro sim here.

Next, I present Violin. This is one of the RAW pictures I chose for application. This is another sim I discovered while looking for locations for blogs, the Digital Art sim. This is one of my favorite sims in Second Life.

And, finally, my personal favorite, Scarecrow Dreams, also RAW. Here, you can catch a ride to the Ocho Tango sim where this was taken. It adjoins the Digital Art sim and you can wander from one to the other as you explore the amazing beauty on display.

Thank you for taking the time to read my blog and look at my photos!

Have a great day!

MOONDANCE BOUTIQUE CERES GROUP GIFT

Moondance Boutique has offered another very generous group gift, the Ceres Group Gift. The Ceres set comes with earrings, rings, and bracelets--five separate bracelets for each wrist so they can be worn in mix and match combinations. I have chosen to wear all five bracelets on each wrist to help make a fashion statement!

As with so many of Moondance's sets, this set also comes equipped with many options. There is the option to change the texture, size, or full bright of a single piece of jewelry or to target all the pieces at once. This is a very convenient tool.

There are seven metal options, ten pastel gem options, and ten deep gem options. I have chosen a combination with silver for the metal, rose for gem 1, and aquamarine for gem 2.

Here, you can see the overall chic look of the set.

Now, for a closer look at the pieces so the intricate detail work can be seen.

Hurry to Moondance Boutique to take advantage of the group gifts and take a look a the many other fine designs there, too, including designs for men.

MOONDANCE BOUTIQUE AASHI GROUP GIFT

This is a very sweet group gift set that consists of a necklace, earrings, and bracelets. It is a very generous gift, as well, because it comes with Moondance's wonderful texture-change options. There are seven metals, ten pastel pearls, and ten deep pearl colors. You have the great option of changing the texture, size, and full bright for all the pieces at the same time or for each individual piece.

Here is a closeup of the necklace and earrings. Note the intricate detail that reflects the care and hard work that go into these pieces! I am wearing gold metal, pearl 1 is purple, pearl 2 is aqua, and pearl 3 is cornflower. I love this combination, but there are almost limitless color possibilities!

And, here, you can see the bracelets, too. All of those that know me know I have to have jewelry wherever I go, even to the beach, but you can wear this versatile set for any occasion. This truly is an amazing gift!

MOONDANCE BOUTIQUE NEW AMBROSIA JEWELRY SET

Moondance Boutique has an elegant and stunning new release out, the Ambrosia set. True to the quality and generous designs that come from Moondance, this lovely set has a necklace, two sets of earrings, two styles of bracelets, two styles of rings, a brooch, and an intricate crown. Here, you can see the complete set, with the exception of the daisy earrings; I chose to wear the Chandalere earrings for this styling. I have attached the brooch to the front of the gown as a pleasing adornment.

This set comes, of course, with the Moondance trademark texture-change options for all the pieces in the set. Once again, there is the option to change the textures and sizes of the pieces as a collective group or as individual pieces. There are seven metal colors, ten opal colors, and ten gem colors to choose from to mix and match, with almost unlimited color combination possibilities.

The metal I have chosen is platinum, with pink for the opal, and for the gems, I have chosen diamonds. This is quite a lovely combination that I feel very regal in!

Here, you can see the finished backs of the Chandalere earrings and the generous clasp of the necklace.

Here is a closer look at the Ambrosia Diamond Opal Ring and the Ambrosia Dangle Bracelet.

Now, for a look at the Ambrosia Daisy Ring and the Ambrosia Bracelet.

Here, you can see the different color choices for the metal, opals, and gems.

You can buy all the pieces as one set or buy individual pieces if you desire to do that.

You can find the Ambrosia set at the main store as well as at the Jewelry and Accessory Expo now running until March 5.

AT SWANK: B&C DESIGNER, 69 PARK AVENUE GQ

Two more great creations from Swank designers!

I am wearing the Dakota Lace Dress from B&C Designer, and my namesake could not be cuter! The bodice is black sheer with very delicate black lace embroidery. The back is low-cut halfway down. The fabric moves softly and gently with the body when walking.  You can remain cool while the rest of the room heats up!

Stebi's Ti Amo Red Leather Outfit from 69 Park Avenue is a very handsome outfit, with a black-and-red striped scarf, and a red tie for just the right accent. The pants are a very neat pinstripe that coordinate very well with the lines of the scarf.

As if the cute dress were not enough, the Dakota dress also comes with very cute Slink high heels adorned with little studs on the straps and larger ones on the back of the heels. These shoes come in both black and red versions. Here, you can see the red.

The Ti Amo Red Leather Outfit also comes with some very masculine sunglasses to set the ladies' hearts racing. Here, you can see the sunglasses more closely, as well as the striped scarf.

You still have two days to take advantage of the fantastic, exclusive creations by the nearly 100 designers at Swank. All items are 300 lindens or less, and many of the designers have very nice gifts for the shoppers, as well.

AT SWANK: PRISM, NATIVE URBAN, LUNA BODY ART

Once again, I am using Stebi to help showcase another lovely gown, this one by Prism, the Amora in Red. The white  hearts pattern woven into the fabric almost glitters like gemstones, giving this gown an extra touch of elegance. The Amora gown also is available in five other stunning colors: pink, gold, blue, green, and turquoise.

Stebi is wearing the Native Urban Valentino Outfit, a very romantic outfit indeed, with the dapper red tie. This outfit also comes with the formal shoes he is wearing. There is an option to wear the shoes with socks or without. Stebi is wearing the socks version.

There is an optional shoulder piece that comes with the Amora Gown, as well. This shoulder piece has a finely-crafted rose in the center, made of the same hearts fabric as the gown, sitting elegantly atop a perfect bow. But, to me, one who adores feathers, the most amazing part of this shoulder piece is the feather accessory. The feathers are delicate wisps that float gracefully around the rose. Here is a closer look at that chest piece.

I also am wearing Prism Heart Dangle Earrings by Jezzixa Silver, the February gift you can find at Prism's booth at Swank. They match this Amora dress perfectly. There are two pairs of earrings in the gift box: the silver metal I am wearing here, and a pair with gold metal.

Of course, matching fingernail polish is essential, and Luna Body Art has the perfect item, the Heart Me polish for Slink hands and feet.

Luna Body Art also has a very nice gift at the Swank booth, the xoxo Gift nail polish. Here is what that gift looks like.

Swank is running until the end of the month, so be sure to take advantage of the exclusive designs by almost 100 designers for men, women, home, and garden! And, everything 300 lindens or less! Don't forget the gifts offered by many of the Swank designers!

AT SWANK: *JS* CREATIONS, PRISM FOR MEN, INDULGE TEMPTATION

Today, I am presenting the Pink Saphire Gem Dress by *JS* Creations. Once again, *JS* has created a wonderful confection, this time a gown adorned with pink sapphire gemstones. This gown also comes in several other gems, as well: amathyst, aquamarine, peridot, sapphire, and a ruby, perfect for Valentine's Day.

Stebi is wearing the Prsim Leonard V.4 Black suit. This is a very elegant, handsome, and dashing outfit, with the fur stole draping gently around the neck and falling smoothly down to the hips. There are two fur options, the black you see here, and a white. There is also a Leonard V.1 Red, which comes with a red fur. The silk shirt compliments the brocade jacket very well.

I also have a silky compliment to my gown, and that is the Indulge Temptation Adorable Necklace 1. As always, Indulge Temptation jewelry comes with a HUD. You can change the color of the pearls and the color of the silk independently to create a mix-and-match look if you desire. There are six different necklaces to choose from, all with eight color options for silk and pearls. And, of course, the HUD allows you to resize the necklace, as well. Here, you can see the HUD with the colors for the Adorable Necklace 1.

Swank is going to run until the end of the month. This month's theme is Fifty Shades of Red. There are exclusive items all for 300 lindens or less. Don't forget the gifts provided by many of the shops, as well.

BELLES PARISIENNES AND SEMI-PRECIOUS AT SWANK

Today, I am doing something a little different but more exciting. I have borrowed my very good friend, Stebi, to co-model with me so you can have a presentation of both male and female ensembles.

Swank will open on February 7 and will continue throughout the month. This month, the theme is 50 Shades of Red. As usual, there will be exclusive items, and everything is 300 lindens or less.

I am wearing the Tenue Be My Valentine gown by Belles Parisiennes, and Stebi is wearing the
Be My Valentine suit by Belles Parisiennes.  Here, you can see them.

The rose belt is optional, if you should choose not to wear it.

The Avalon jewelry set by Semi-Precious matches my gown very well and accents it perfectly without overwhelming it. Semi-Precious creates jewelry that is warm and accessible.  The soft polish of the semi-precious stones creates a sense of comfort that leaves the cold aloofness of their precious counterparts behind.  Unpretentious, elegantly crafted, Semi-Precious jewelry will complete any outfit with the quiet confidence of today's woman.

Here, you can see the HUD that comes with the Avalon set. There are an amazing 24 gems to choose from, and 3 metal colors.

FEATURED MODEL IN THE EVOLUTION OF A MODEL (TEOM) MAGAZINE

I had some computer issues and was away for a while, but, when I came back, I was very pleased to see that The Evolution of a Model magazine had come out. This issue covers some important and interesting topics, including some tips about lagging and crashing, a "Where Are They Now" article with interviews of models from the first issue, an interview with ShazneyValentine, MVW Aruba 2016, a look behind-the-scenes of the Fantasy Angels audition, and, of course, the featured models, including children and teens.

Darla Watanabe was the photgrapher, and we had a good laugh when she placed me beside the bartender during the shoot. She said she would not use the photo in the magazine, so I really had to laugh when I saw my feature photograph. I know there was none better to capture the moment! Even now, I have to laugh!

Thank you so much to the staff of TEOM for inviting me to be a featured model!

NOTE OF INTEREST: Every time before I post a blog, I check all the landmarks and Marketplace links to verify that they are current.
