Lipstick Jungle

Does anyone remember the nighttime drama, Lipstick Jungle? - starred Brooke Shields and Andrew McCarthy. It was similar to Sex and the City, fluff stuff really, and was only on two seasons, 2008-2009. I remember watching that show, thinking oh pfft, this is never going to hold my attention. By the time it was cancelled I was hooked and upset. They had to wrap up all the mini stories in it quickly! lol I was reminded of that show while working on this post - the city skyline in the background and the clothing.

My dress is by KiB Designs called Arya, showcasing now at The Avenue. Your purchase includes a texture hud with more jungle prints and it's tres sexy. ;) During the event, this dress is 35% off. It's a great time to snap it up!

My earrings and heels are by Loordes of London, which are discounted during in-store sales now. This store is a great one to visit, speaking of hooked. I was hooked on this particular store years ago and the savings are tremendous for quality fashion items.

Let's Stay In This New Year's Eve

We can make our own merrymaking here. Go out? Or stay in. You and me. And, er, Baby makes three. LOL Isn't the Half-Deer chihuahua cute?

The Sara dress by Pretty Things is showcasing now at the Pretty Things  Showroom Event, but only until January 3rd! This top & skirt set is awfully darn cute, with side bow and stars appropriately to ring in the New Year. 

Some quick news: I hear the Pretty Things area and showroom is undergoing a huge reconstruction early in January. This is exciting - it's such a pretty place anyway and I know they'll make it even more attractive for shopping and photos! Stay tuned for that.

Pretty Things are Blooming

Ok, pretty flowers will be blooming in the spring! Fortunately that's not too far off, we just have to grit our teeth and get through winter - those of us who do NOT like winter, lol. 

For now, we can find pretty pinks as reminders of spring here in Second Life. I'm wearing a darling little dress by Pretty Things, available now through January 3rd at the Pretty Things Showroom. Don't wait too long, this one is a cutie! I added Astralia's orchid headpiece...kissing fingertips, magnifique! ;) This dress would be absolutely just right for New Year's Eve.

I'm channeling Audrey Landers! At least that's what my head looks like a l'il bit.

Prettier Than A Painting

High praise indeed, for a dress to be prettier than an Impressionist painting. And that's what you'll find in a release by -Desmonia -. This is Abayomi Shoulder Strap Dress. I love the style and the texture options are truly beautiful. I added a Lode head accessory...I could wear these floral lovelies with everything.

I've been tweaking (and tweaking) my shape for the Simone Bento head by Lelutka. My shape names are getting hilarious - this one I named "DEFAULT - SIMONE BENTO - 12-29-16 really the final." Ha! It won't be. As frustrating as it is, that's also the benefit - we can tweak! The very thing about which many complained when mesh heads were released - loss of uniqueness - is no longer an issue!

You're Staring At My Chest, Aren't You

But wait! Let's talk about the pretties in the post first! Desmonia released this vintage/steampunk/all-round hot and adorable outfit called Bianca. Besides this cuteness, it has stays down the back. Multiple fits and a texture hud are included. This is a dress I'd wear all the time, for anything.  And the boots! Above the knee, zippadeedoodah, and just darn sizzling cute. These are called Ember, by Slipper Originals, and are an Exclusive at the Premium Only event. These fit MID footsies in Maitreya, Slink(s) and Belleza(s).

A little toasting with some stars? Persefona has released some lovely star attachments and poses, available until December 31st at Cosmopolitan. A necessary-ism for New Year's Eve! There are 4 different poses and several star head and body attachments.

Rezology released Sky 196. A little designer birdie mentioned Taylor Swift wears her hair like this. I think it's really cute, with mid-length cupped hair in the back.

So I was working on these pics, concentrating on light post-editing and pic general purtyness, when I realized, omg, I'm a poster girl for boobies! I suppose I could have edited for some cleavage and pulled those babies in a bit. I don't notice it as much from the side. (What, are you blind, Laura???) ;) This Maitreya fit sure...ahem...fits well!

Bluer Than Blue

After you go

I can catch up on my readin'

After you go

I'll have a lot more time for sleepin'

And when you're gone looks like things

Are gonna be a lot easier

Life will be a breeze you know

I really should be glad

But I'm bluer than blue

Sadder than sad

You're the only light

This empty room has ever had

Life without you is gonna be

Bluer than blue

After you go

I'll have a lot more room in my closet

After you go

I'll stay out all night long if I feel like it

And when you're gone

I can run through the house screamin'

And no one will ever hear me

I really should be glad

You're the only light

This empty room has ever had

Life without you is gonna be

Bluer than blue

I don't have to miss no TV shows

I can start my whole life over

Change the numbers on my telephone

But the nights will sure be colder

You're the only light

This empty room has ever had

Life without you is gonna be

Bluer than blue

Gorgeous Anita By TST Creations

This becomes an ode to TST Creations, for this spectacularly gorgeous, scintillatingly sexy lingerie set. Did I mention it's gorgeous? Sexy? This, IMO, is the best one yet. In short, it has the WOW factor, and you'd better believe this will drop a jaw in the bedroom. I'm wearing the full set - teddy, garters and stockings. The captivating creation is named Anita, in Black and Red. I want all colors! No wait, I need all colors!! Just wait until you see the back (what little there is of it)!

My hair is by Exile, called Eyes On Me. And oh, they will be! You'll find this long, luxurious hairstyle now at Collabor88. 

My heels are by EMPIRE, and they are truly beauties. Elegant stilettos worthy of gowns, or yes indeed, lingerie.

After Christmas Shopping At Sass

One of my favorite things to do in Second Life is shop after-Christmas! Okay, I like shopping most any time, it's true, lol. For this excursion, I'm wearing a super cute outfit by .Sass., called Bundle Up. It consists of a plaid cropped sweater (baring some skin!) w/jeans and platform boots. You will find Bundle Up at .Sass.'s main store now!

I'm also wearing Snow Fall hair by Exile. This gorgeous long hairstyle with bowed cap is a gacha still available at The Arcade. 

The pose is by Icons of Style, part of the Shopping pack with bags included. It's an oldie but goodie and so perfect for my shopping!

Except For Winter White

I grew up with the "fashion don't" of don't wear white after Labor Day. There was that exception to the rule though - winter white. I finally just equated that to take a break from white in fall, then when snow arrived, white can come back out to play!

Here's a gorgeous winter white from Virtual Diva, called Invierno, meaning Winter. There is also a matching outfit for men. This lovely outfit will take you into Spring too. You'll find this and so much more at the Swank event, but don't delay - this Winter Wonderful round ends soon!

Sn@tch Some Gifts Under The Tree TODAY

I'm still in a dreamlike haze after our Christmas celebration! Had to come home and take a nap. Stretching - ahh, all refreshed and ready to share some goodies with you! This is Carter Hair by Sn@tch, and I'm wearing a color section from the Ombres pack. Carter is long and sleek, with the top swept back into a pert bun. The hair is also long in the back.

Now quick like bunnies, hop over to Sn@tch and grab the gifts under the tree - they're scheduled to go poof tonight! Don't depend on Santa's little elves to sleep in tomorrow or just plain forget because you don't want to miss these. For example, I'm wearing Vanessa Beaded Lingerie, a gorgeous applier in Red, Greed or Purple, for classic avies or use mesh babes can use the Omega Hud. This gorgeous AND a gift! Grab first, then thank! lol

While we're hopping, one more pitstop please, to be delighted. My jewelry is a group gift at Nord Embel'Lys! This one (and there are several gifts!) is called Christmas Diamants et Rubis necklace and matching earrings.
