52 weeks of colour part deux — week 6, alice blue

How do you have a colour named for you?

(Just a quick picture this week as some RL stuff has distracted me.)

I’m always content if I’m learning while being entertained. I look up unfamiliar words played in WordFeud so they are more than letters arranged in a line; it’s hard to forget ‘wox’* played with the ‘x’ in a triple-word corner, let alone trying to recover from a ‘yojan’ crossing several multiplier tiles.

So, being an enthusiastic but slightly ignorant Antipodean when it came to the reference to Alice in Alice blue, I had a great time learning about Alice Roosevelt Longworth and the trend she started for the pale blue-grey named in her honour. I’ve worn this dress before in a blog post, however, it wasn’t part of the 52 weeks of colour challenge and is new (again).

No Queen of Sheba


I love blogging Lilo Glom’s skins for JesyLilo because they are both glamorous and offbeat. Just in time for Valentine’s Day, there’s a whole new line of skins inspired by Oleg Dou. Each skin comes with a shape—which I didn’t use for these photos, on account of Portia being neglected for a week—and a pair of eyes. There are actually three versions of the skin included in the pack. Each one has a different tattoo on the back: a dragonfly, a seahorse or a peacock. The beaded bald-head tattoo Portia wears here is a makeup layer, also included, though perhaps not in every pack. Do check Lilo Glom’s Flickr for more pics and please demo skins before you buy! I didn’t GIMP a pixel on Portia’s face, but this Windlight setting isn’t going to follow you around like a faithful dog.


Sn@tch is having a sale through February 6, and the usual rules apply: 50 to 75% off on everything except new releases and things that are already so cheap that you’d be embarrassed to get a further discount. I bought latex and lace, but you could shop Sn@tch and come out looking like a professor. If you’re kinky that way.

GIMP report: I spent an hour removing black lines from these photos. I hate that! I also fixed Portia’s body when the pose betrayed her or her booty looked less than joosy. But the skin is untouched.

Jack is Depraved

It seems that every time I head down to Shiki, not only do I find some great gear, but I also find out about new hunts happening around the grid. Today was no different as I discovered the Jack or Jill Hunt. Brought to you by Depraved Nation, Jack or Jill is a ‘split path’ hunt with 50 stores for women as well as 50 stores for men and it’s looking very, very good indeed.

The outfit I’m wearing above is Shiki’s entry into Jack or Jill and is called the Nakano Style outfit which features the sweater and pants that you can see above. The sweater comes in a great pink colour and the texture is awesome, thick and warm looking. The cuffs, neck and sweater bottom attachments that come along with it all fit really easily, as do the cuffs for the pants.

After scooping up the Shiki gift, I checked out who else was in the hunt and once I saw MADesigns was in it, I rushed over there to find their gift which is the hair I’m wearing in the above pictures. ‘Jesse’ is a super-funky spiky ‘do that must be a pretty recent release as I hadn’t come across it before. It looks brilliant in the light brown colour and you also get the light brown hairbase to wear with it along with a pair of ‘The Happening’ eyes in moss.

So there you have it, a couple of great gifts from what looks to be a super hunt that will be going on all this month. Plenty of stuff for both guys and girls and well worth checking out. I know I’ll be snooping around for some more gifts soon. If you want the full lists, hints and what have you, you can take a look here: http://depravednation.com/jack-or-jill

Secretly Naughty School Girl

My eyes are burning, bells are ringing in my ears
Alarm clocks wailing, class bells screaming, I can’t hear
A text book mad-house, twelve years I’m here in a rage
A juveniles jail, And I’m here locked up in their cage

 School Daze, school daze, I’m here doin’ time
School daze, school daze, my age is my crime
School daze, school daze, I’m here doin’ time
School daze, school daze, I’m attending hell high

A blackboard jungle toed the line the rulers made
A homework hell-house screams at me “MAKE THE GRADE!”
Tick tock, three o’clock, I’m sittin here and counting off the days
A firebell is ringin’ hell and I’d sure love to see it blazeBURN IT DOWN!!

I’m cool like that


Today, I fulfil the fantasy inspired by LpD’s Etnic Chic Suit in black. I styled the red version into a safe resort look. But I knew there had to be a way to take this baby into the clubs. I suspected colourful trainers would be the key ingredient. DRD’s Lazyheels (which are very inexpensive, dig) spared you the spectacle of purple-and-yellow shoes with a purple-and-yellow outfit. Yvw.


Not-Portia’s Vive9 hair and (fd) tattoo are available at Collabor88 till the 7th. The Blah poses and Glasiz glasses are gifts in the For Whatever Hunt, which is officially over, but which lingers on in the shops of chill procrastinators. The yellow Blah jumpsuit is only 40L at the February FTLO BLack Market. There’s also a silver version. The fat men’s sweater is a free mesh item from Mr. Poet. The pack includes grey and navy versions. For a non-adjustable men’s item, this sweater fits surprisingly well.


This delicately made-up skin from LpD is available through Saturday at Fashionably Late. The pack includes a shape not shown here, and there’s a darker tan version available. The Sauce lashes, which I love, are another 40L Black Market item. They can be worn without the bottom lashes if neither you nor your av is fly.

It’s almost Valentine’s Day and what would be better than a few of my sexy bishes wishing you just that. I guess I didn’t follow the crowd with the smexilious look but I like to stare and look innocent sometimes. Thanks for the pillow fight at my house Kis and Desi, even though I lost. <3

Limping Along on my Craptop

Hello, all you lovely people.  Yes, I am still without a desktop or a computer of any kind that can adequately run SL.  It’s very frustrating to say the least.  For example, I managed to get quite a few of the prizes from a recent hunt, but was unable to take pictures before the hunt ended. lol  Talk about spinning one’s wheels.  So, I’ll continue to limp along until my new Aurora desktop from Alienware comes in.

So, I was able to take some pics of Blue Blood’s newest release, the fabulous Ivonne dress.  You’ll forgive the obvious low quality of my pictures, I hope.

Yep, this is me (Des) and not little Kat.  Actually, it is Kat, but in Des’ shape. The Ivonne dress is quite the bargain because it comes with three different skirt styles for utmost versatility.  This is the flirty lolita skirt.  The jacket is also on a separate layer, so you can choose to wear the dress without the jacket.  One thing I love about Ghani’s designs is that she always creates stocking tops or garters unique to each outfit.  It’s that attention to detail that makes her so special as an SL artist.  Want some details about my outfit?  Well, the hair was the hunt item from Hair Shop Nodoka for the Café Hunt, and the ribbon necklace with color change rose and pearls was the gift from Lassitude & Ennui for the same hunt.  (Yeah, that’s the one that just ended that I referenced above.)  The Gothika skin is a recent gift from [VoiD].  The hot little pink booties were the lucky chair (or board) gift from Crystal line.  The lucky is group only, but the group is free to join.  Crystal line also has several group gifts available in store, including the drop earrings worn above.

Ok, here are some pics of the other two skirts that come with Ivonne.

This is the burlesque skirt – I love burlesque skirts!  Soooo sexy!  And finally, here’s the last skirt option – a full ballgown skirt.

Well, hope you enjoyed my post and my ramblings.  Until next time…

Happy hunting, gathering, shopping, etc. *mwah*!

Details:

Dress – +++Blue Blood+++ – Ivonne – Pink

Hair – Hair Shop Nodoka – Olivia – Darkbrown – The Café Hunt prize

Boots – ((Crystal line)) – Angelina Short Boots – Magenta – Lucky Board

Earrings - ((Crystal line)) – Cherry Pierce – group gift

Skin – [VoiD] – Dust – Gothika – Ivory – GenX II (Cleavage) – group gift

Necklace - Lassitude & Ennui – Ophelia Roses and pearls Necktie – The Café Hunt prize

Lourna’s Day

You’re probably asking, “Who is Lourna?” Lourna is my Zooby Baby. Right now I know those reading are judging.  If you want to judge me over a photo prop and fashion accessory, feel free.

To those still reading, regardless of what you do with your Zooby Baby there are lots and lots of accessories, clothes and toys for your Zooby Baby. I recently went shopping for Lourna. I look good so she has to look good when I want to photograph with her. I found Sweet Penelope, from one Ry and Sixx’s storyline blog posts.  They really should do more of those, we all know eMMa is the star of those stories. ;)

Anyway, I got this cute pink outfit and and matching hat.  One thing that I think the Zooby babies are missing are ways to pose the baby for pictures.  Considering the price you’d think that the baby would come with a few poses for family shots.

Feeling Drowsy


Pop on your orienteering outfit and spend some time exploring the reopened Drowsy sim. It’s thoroughly charming. You’ll enjoy unexpected encounters with lions and hippos and bears, ohmai. The hippos eluded me until I tried to take a pic of my av standing among the ducks. You can also do some shopping at Kurotsubaki and BP*, where I picked up these un-camouflage leggings.


There are so many hunts starting up that I feel like blindfolding myself. And randomly shooting arrows at people. The Where is The Concert Hunt is ending on February 3, so you should go now to Fallen Gods Inc to pick up this not-camouflage Aladdin Sane tattoo. Don’t forget that there are new LBs and a dollarbie skin at Mother Goose’s, as well as several new releases. My lumpy, block-chinned new av looks better than poor Portia in every skin I try on. So she’ll be sticking around.


Awwww.
