Deliriously Diva Glam!

Yesterday I mentioned being overwhelmed at the start of the new month... that's because there is so much awesomeness available now I'm having a hard time deciding what to post and how to sort through it all! This morning's look is a bunch of newness and a group gift! (Ooooh.. freeeeeee...)

I've been watching Aida Ewing's flickr feed for a bit and have been highly anticipating the release of the beautiful "Lilith" skin! So excited was I that I actually got a shade darker than I intended, but its so gorgeous I don't even care!

Sometimes I'm busy and click absentmindedly through notices without having a chance to really look at them - but sometimes on chance, I go back and see what I missed, and I missed a good'un! D!va released a hair previously only available at Collabor88 and its so adorable! The flowers are colourchange, the hair is resize and its sold for only L$150!

The giftie is the ENTIRE outfit, available as a group gift from Delirium Style. Look! PANDAZ! I love love love pandas and this shirt is just so adorable. Everything about this outfit is highly detailed and full of sass!

So many ways to love!

*stretches* Morning posts always have me stretching - but that's okay because it gives a good shot at some of the fabulousness now available on the grid! *adds "fabulousness" to her spell checker and continues*

Amour has released a new "sack" type dress - but this is one designer that does it right - it looks amazing on and comes in various sizes and colours. Each colourpack holds a colour and the basic black dress. It looks so cute and summery on, with a splash of class that I like. Great job!

Last week the creator of Blueberry store sent out some awesome gifts to her group - two pairs of mesh boots and a pair of mesh pants! Check out a set of the boots!!! *Squee!*

(love) has a cute set of group gifts and cheapies in the "Salon" section of their mainstore - The hair I'm wearing is L$1 and is one of the two fatpack styles available in the bag!

If anyone knows me, they know I love pandas - they're just... kyoooooot! Snagged this panda necklace at Izzie's in New York the other day, but you can find it in the Izzie's Mainstore too!

Last, but certainly not least, I want to mention the eyes - because they're FREE as a group gift, and look how gorgeous they are!! They're a fatpack, so lots of colours in there from [Dirty.Little.Secret] AND if you join the group and stay in, not only will you nab another swank gift when the group reaches 700, but you will also avoid the group fee that's going to pop up when the group gets to 701. Go. Now. Join. (And bask in the awesomness, because I've said before that [Dirty.Little.Secret] gives out awesome gifts, hunts, feelin' good freebies and... seriously, why are you still reading? GO JOIN).

Cart Sale and IS DESIGN!

The amazing bi-annual Cart Sale is on at The Wash right now and every year I think I go a little nuts... like Christmas on a sugar high or something! My wallet takes a kicking, but I can't really pass up the super awesome deals that are provided by the fabulous designers whom participate in the Cart Sale every 6 months.

That said, it took me a LONG time to come up with an outfit to show - there's just so much good stuff! (In fact, expect to see something else from me in the future about this event, because its just so awesome).

In between sorting my inventory after my cart sale insanity, I've been checking blogs (of course!) and I ran across this post at SL Wonderland (which I frequent often) and laughed so hard at the bacon breakfast bag that I had to go nab it. When I did, I discovered "IS DESIGN" - a store that is just plain awesome! Its silly, its fun, its sexy and you should go down there and see what's there! Lucky boards, gatchas and freebies abound and you don't want to miss the cute items offered there.

Here for the party!

Well.. my RL daughter's birthday is later this month, and all I've been hearing is questions about her party, presents and "Is it today?" All of these things being on the brain inspired today's post!

I'm showing another BG Feline avatar mod, because honestly they're so well done that I can't get enough of them! This one is Krystal Fox made by Puppy. She does amazing work and is a super nice person to boot! If you have a Blue Galaxy Feline avi (or any other adorable moddable avatar) you should check out her mods - you'll be blown away!

The adorable balloon props and pose is from Frozen Panty Poses and its a FREEBIE on the marketplace! How cute is that?! They also have some awesome poses and fantastically made clothing too! Peruse through their store for a look-see!

After I got my BG Feline, I spent some time with my head in my inventory looking for some things that might fit the glorious little furry being. I completely lucked out when I found out that my Blueberry Mesh Jenna Skirt in Vintage Black totally fits! It was a group gift from a while ago, but you may be able to get it now, or even purchase it in store - pop by and see! Blueberry generally gives out fabulous group gifts and I wear their designs a lot - its worth the group spot for sure!

Now.. to go party plan!

The lowdown:
Pose: Frozen Panty "Balloon2" pose with Solo Balloon and Balloon Towerset props (Free on marketplace)
Skirt: Blueberry *Mesh* Jenna Skirt -Vintage- Black *GROUP GIFT*
Top: Arbitrary BG Feline Mesh Tank Mod - L$10

Location: BabyMalibu House by inVerse - L249 (fits a 512 parcel perfectly!) 

Look of the Day: Blue Galaxian Feline

I am so excited to show you the sexy adorableness that is today's "Look of the day". I splurged the other day and got myself a Blue Galaxian Feline avatar and have never been more pleased with a purchase! I mean, just look how adorable this thing is!

Its such an easy avatar to use, you unpack it, put it on and you're ready to go - it even comes with a tank and undies for the ladies so you're not immediately in the buff when starting out. On top of that, once you have the avatar, you can completely customize it. Its completely copy and modifiable!

There are lots of things available on the marketplace and in world for  you to play around with this avatar and I'm having lots of fun discovering what can be done with it. Also, the default facial expressions are just too adorable and I find myself staring at it waiting to see how it will look next! Expect more posts about this avi along with my other posts.

This particular look took a bit of modification - the tube top comes in a texture that you must apply to a copy of your original tank top, but once you have the avatar, the top itself is free! The pants are available straight from the Blue Galaxy mainstore (right outside when you land) and are fully modify just like the shirts. Buying the pants open up a new array of available mods. 

Also, the regular Magika mesh and prim hair does not fit properly - to use this feature, I added the Mod Kit for Magika Hair from the Krystal Fox - Natural BG Feline Mod, which is a package that allows you to mod your regular BG Feline avatar to look like the fox in the picture. Its a gorgeous avatar, but will take some time and editing to set up on the first go. Because I'm a bit lazy and I like my cinnamon feline, I just opted to use the hair mod in the pack (which is a script you drop in a copy of your original head) and eyes. I fully plan on using the fox at a later date though and the L$350 for this pack is totally worth it. Then its just a matter of getting the Magika hair that the box says to buy, or to go to the store itself and try some of the demos to see which you like. Some still don't fit properly (or to my general liking) but a lot are wearable and look fabulous. 

Looking for a fun futuristing photo location? All these photos were taken right inside the Blue Galaxy store and its just a fun place to walk around. 

So, if you have some extra lindens, the starter avi can take you far, so try it out and see how flexible and fun this avatar can be!

Photobomb? Photo explosion!

I was exploring the grid as I tend to do last night, and I stumbled across a fun location on Cyril Plage. Anyone who knows me, knows that I LOVE to take pictures and sometimes if a particular location strikes me, I'm pretty snap happy.

Last night, I was snap euphoric. This photo skybox is open to the public and has 3 floors filled with photo balls, prop locations and backgrounds for men, women, couples and groups!

There are loads of cute, silly, fantasy and professional photo spots here so be sure to take a peek - if it looks like a box or something insignificant - sit on it - its very likely a prop filled with awesome poses.

There are lots more photos in my Flickr Photostream and lots of poses I didn't get to snap (I didn't even get up on the third floor, so be sure to take a peek at everything!). Happy Snapping!

Please note: Most photos were minimally edited in "Photoscape" editing program, but some were not touched at all aside from environment settings in SL - play around with them and see what looks cool for you!

Hair sale at D!va

psst...did you know that D!va makes really cool hair? All kinds of styles, from short to long, updo's and braids. Although a couple of the styles might be suitable for men, the majority are clearly for women, being quite girly with frills and swoops in all the right places.
  

  

The hairs fit well with so many genres like urban, scene, neko, kawaii, dolly, grunge, medieval, dress-up and yes, even everyday normal.
  

  

D!va has the coolest demo setup I've seen. Change colors, and watch the pose and accessories change. When I start selling hair, I want to offer demos like these. Of course, the problem with a static pose when trying to assess a hair is that you can't really see how the hair responds to movement, so the more recent D!va demos forego the static poses and instead encircle the wearer with a wreath of delicate ivy. Either way, it's fun - and also necessary. The hairs are no modify. They contain scripts for resizing, but if you have strands poking through your eyebrows or you want to tint the color a little, you're out of luck, so do try the demos.
  

  

Most of the styles are actually two styles, with a variation of bangs or scarf or hat included. Did I mention there's a SALE on right now?
  

  

And I should point out that the hair is 50% off. Yes, half off. Yes, ALL styles! With such cool demos and even the usual low price cut in half, how could anyone resist? (p.s. There are also a hunt prize, 4 lucky boards and many group gifts available!)
  

  

You need to visit D!va before December 20. Here's your teleport.
