It's also 25L Tuesday

25L tuesday started out as a Gorean or Fantasy Role Play event but in my opinion it's well worth checking out, no matter how mainstream you may think you are. Because there's always some very very nice things to find.

Here's the 25LTuesday blog.

I'm not going to talk much about the clothes that are on offer because there's only about 3 hours left until it's Wednesday and theoretically all the goodies will be gone then. But the idea is simply that every tuesday a selection of designers put out at least one item priced at 25L.

This week there's a little more than that and also the day is sponsoring RFL. As in buy an item for 25l and the proceeds go to RFL. Not too shabby eh?

 

This picture is basically why you don't want to skip 25L Tuesday. 

That house? 25L item at Virtual Whimsy It comes with most of the garden flowers and trees that you see as well.

 The small tree in the far left corner, 25L item from Tiar

The arched path out in front which I forgot to take a closer shot of, is 25L item from United Inshcon.

 

 The pair of lions and the bench with planters are two separate items, both 25L apiece from Poliak's Emporium. And they are animated.

 

 

Okay okay, you got me. I cheated a little bit. The chair, rug and table with books are not from 25LT, instead they are from CoLab and the whole set is 60L. But Roawenwood, the maker, is on the 25LT list   The books on the floor with the cat and reading pillow is another CoLab item from Poliak's Emporium.

 

That hutch there in the back is from Fabled. 25LT item.

 

This sideboard here is also a 25LT item from Fabled.

The basket is a 1L item from Circa.

On top of the sideboard is one of my favorite things from this 25LT. It's a Healer's Carousel from Kei's Spot. The jars are editable and contain "herbs". When clicked the jar gives information on the herb it contains. Seriously cool imho.

 

This Gossip Breakfast table is also from Kei Spot. It gives you various items like a tea cup to go with the animations. The flowers on the mantel are the 25L item from DDD.

 

I know most people don't put a pergola inside the house but the pinkish tones and shape seemed to go well here. This also is a 25L item from Kei Spot.

 

Here's a few shots of me. My harem-esque outfit is one of the 25LT items from Una's 

 It comes with the texture top, mesh bottom, hip belt, necklace (with or without sound) and a bracelet. My only complaint is that I wish the maker had taken the time to make a boob applier as well.

 

I am wearing Slink flat feet and sandals from Pure Poison. Over the weekend these were sold to group members at half price, three colors for $125L. Group membership is free and there are tons of gifts out front. I don't know if the half price deal is still going on or if it was just for the weekend however.

 

I'm wearing the Emma hair from Wasabi Pills in Wild Honey. Skin is Evon in Dark Tan in natural (fatpack comes with all appliers) from Lara Hurley skins. Lipstick layers are Ginevra from Izzies in dark red layered under Venetian Red Mizu Lipgloss from Mock Cosmetics. I'm also wearing the Winged Shimmer Eyeshadow (Latte) from Harley fatpack in Latte by Pink Fuel

My eyes are the Promise eyes in Glass from Ikon.

My poses are from !bang and Exposeur.

Backdrop for last three shots is from KaTink, part of the Calas Spring set.

Poses with Furniture are part of that furniture piece. You have time to get yourself some bargains yet. :)

If It's Not One Thing - It's Another...

The last few days have made me feel as if I've been through the ringer. and that's why there's been no update til now. My laptop came with both the Intel integrated graphics AND an nvidia graphics card, and this computer was purchased specifically for using with second life. Unfortunately, the nvidia card doesn't seem to be working any more. I was hoping I could just replace the card, but that looks like to be more of a problem to do than I had hoped. I have a desktop that needs some repairs so I'm going to hopefully get that one repaired and use that for sl so as not to burn out the integrated graphics on my laptop and turn it into an expensive and ugly paperweight.

Meanwhile... well here's some fashiony stuff.

 

Here's me staring at you all from out my new eyes from Ikon. 

I've been a fan of Ikon almost since he opened and I really like these Promise eyes which are mesh and come with a hud for adjusting size and position. These are the color called "Glass".

 

 

Couple shots of the full look. Please excuse the pixelation etc, since as I said I'm having problems with my comp at the moment and that's not helping my snapshots look good.

My Latest Craze - Piercings...

One of the many things I enjoy about Second Life is the opportunity to "Try on For Size" different concepts, body modifications, life styles even that I might not want to try in First Life.

For a long time I've been curious about different types of piercings in SL but other than earrings and a belly ring I'd pretty much stayed with just curious.

But recently a brand called "Cute Poison" has really caught my eye because their piercings are cute, well done, modifiable, and come with a texture change hud that you can use to change the various parts of the piercing group to match your mood or outfit.

So, I've found two piercings that I plan to be wearing a lot from this brand, well three really but I'm only showing two.

The Stellar Piercing combines a sort of bindi type center star and stud arrangement with pretty studs and stars around the eyes. In First Life, I'd be -terrified- to attempt to get this kind of piercing set up, too close to the eyes and as a newly diagnosed Diabetic, I am just  not that crazy about having needles all over my face.

But it's so pretty here!

 

(Picture of me wearing the above described piercing, credits and links below)

I also am wearing the Quixotic Piercing which is again stars and studs against the collarbone area in a pretty and becoming arrangement. Imagine if you could just stick these on and they'd stay?

 

(Please ignore the slight disconnect between my boobs and my skin, sometimes matching is the bane of my existence )

Finally I bought a Hip Accent Piercing set for when I wear jeans or pants that are low... so pretty and again, I'd never buy them or get them in First Life. I've read too many horror stories. eek.

I'd really love more colors on these piercings, so I'm hoping Sae Luan, the owner behind Cute Poison will make more. :D

And just because I can, here's my total look today.

Hair - Yeah from Point B by Queue Marlow - light blonds pack - still some of the best hair on the grid imho
Makeup Layers -

Eyes - Ikon Spectral Eyes Nymph - by Ikon from Ikon Innovia (just a note that these are mesh eyes and they come with a hud for adjusting. I'm thinking I Need a lighter eye color )
Dress - Banje Mesh Cardigan Dresses - Pinks by Blueberry from Blueberryxx Resident. - I am a huge huge fan of this shop which I recently discovered. Lovely mesh creations with Tango/Mirage appliers at reasonable prices. I bought the fatpack, this comes with the cardigan in dark or light versions of the pink in this case, with or without the dress, appliers for all versions and a hud for changing the color of the dress.  In other words I could wear the cardigan with a tank and a skirt or something instead of the dress. so much win.
