Seldom Blue
Oh wow, do I have a store for you. Seldom Blue
Look at this cute outfit, called Anna. Hand drawn jacket both with and without a belt. Comes in at least seven colors, each packaged as a pair with and without belt for just L$200 or L$750 for the fat pack. The pants have a well done sculpty flare. I am a big fan of the quality of the work at Seldom Blue as well as the price!
Designer IndigoBlue Dagostino sent me a gorgeous gown, Serenity, and I loved it so I couldn’t wait to see what else was in the folder. The suit, Anna, had me hooked and then I believe I actually squealed when I saw that the last folder featured a new lingerie set. (Readers might remember my rant about the importance of keeping underwear handy, even in Second Life). I will put this set right into my folder of nice underwear as soon as I’m done writing, which is high praise indeed.
You see here a set called Katia, and it’s beautifully hand drawn. The underpants come in a full cut or a thong version, shown left. The bra is a gorgeous underwire and each set comes with a color combination and its inverse per pack. For example, this set comes with black accents on silver and silver accents on black, each with two pair of matching panties, for just L$295 a set or just L$700 for the fat pack.
Yah. Hurry over there, here’s the link again. Seldom Blue
RFL- Getcha motah runnin with the RFL Chopper!
Tonight I did a little Relay For Life shopping and latched onto the pink chopper at Krasa’s Korner in Ray. I’m not a motorcycle person but it caught my eye and it’s for a good cause so…. The maker of the bike is Draxxe Slade of Loco Lobo Custom Cycles, and I absolutely think it’s brilliant.
I wasn’t sure if I would ever use the thing beyond an initial inspection to be honest, but I brought it home, opened it and I love it. It seemed a bit complicated until i RTFM, after which I was careening around sims and learning to control it. Fire spits out the tail pipes as you ride and the sound is like a big old motorcycle rumbling away. As if that’s not enough, the pink tee I’m wearing in the picture comes with it too. This is one of my favorite RFL purchases in a long time, and at L$500 it’s a lot of fun and a couple of dollars for a good cause. Here’s that link again Krasa’s Korner in Ray. Enjoy and always wear a helmet on these things irl!
Fine Blue Heaven
Today was the day that I felt inspired to do some photos and what better way to spend the day than trying on all your new shoes and undies. Lara Basevi from Basevi Moda Sexy Shoes dropped on me two very full folders of new shoes she created and boy oh boy what a treat. Lara has become one of my very favourite shoe designers because her shoes are so versatile. They include a bling on and off option and she includes a sexy walk with every pair of shoes. What luck I had when I found her Blue and Silver leather stiletto pumps matched a lingerie set from Reasonable Desires called Blue Fine Lined lingerie perfectly! I just love the way Austie Pegler and Martini Joliat pay attention to every single detail of the garments they create. The lace detailing is perfect and I love the opacity of the stockings they include. Even the little clasps on the garters are perfect. Both items are very well priced so you won’t break the bank to look stunning.
RFL Posts- SLippery Skins
I thought I might get out and look at some of the goodies that are available through Relay for Life, and just as I was browsing through the list over at Relay for Life of Second Life and wondering where I’d begin, Joan Philbin of SLippery Im’d me to tell me about a sale her shop is having.
Lo and behold, SLippery also has RFL skins she’s selling, a pack of 3 for L$500. The skins are very tan, one has a tanline ribbon on the hip, the other two vary in only the pubes. The make-up is only available through this year’s RFL offer and won’t be available in this tone again. Click on the pic to see Jaime in her alltogether. I do absolutely adore the pubes on SLippery’s skins.
SLippery is having a two for one sale this weekend- buy at least two skins and and she’ll refund the price of half of what you buy. While you’re there, pick up some of the RFL skins, which are not included in the sale, but are well worth having. Apparently SLippery is hard to find in search, so here’s another link.
Adam n Eve Boutique
I know, I know! Isn’t it absolutely the most fantastic little red dress you’ve seen in forever? There’s no trick photography here, it’s really this gorgeous!
It’s new from Adam n Eve, and that ain’t all.
Ok, before I tell the rest. The dress is in the Boutique which is ahead to your right when you land if you use the link above. The dress is called Snakeskin (it has a gorgeous snakeskin design and finish in the texture). It comes in six colors, each is L$300 or all six for just L$1200. It comes with two shapes for the skirt- as a mini, shown, or as a flared and slightly pleated mini. Both are simply to die for, as is all the stuff in the boutique.
So now that I got that out before hyperventilating, more about the new happenings at Adam n Eve Boutique. Oh but first, let me dig up another gorgeous minidress from the new boutique for you to look at while I babble excitedly;
So we all know that Adam n Eve is a great store with everything, and I do mean everything, and often because of all the stuff they have, it’s a great place to shop if you have time to wander and browse.
Now, they are taking that stuff and organizing into sections as well as, I think, rolling out new brands. Sachi Vixen took me on a mini tour of the new digs- namely the boutique, the animations and poses store, and a store entirely of sale and deep discount items (yes, that’s right, a whole area full of Adam n Eve quality with most items L$25-100!). For a fan of Adam n Eve, this is like a dream come true because I never have as much time to browse through the big stores as I would like, so giving me smaller stores where I can get my Sachi fix in a hurry really works for me.
This second picture I took at midnight with an overly bright light because I wanted you to see the gorgeous little fabric points that Sachi has worked into this dress, which is called Diva and, like Snakeskin, comes in six colors at L$300 each. The dress looks great under extreme lighting as you see here, it looks incredible under all other lighting. As I’m sure you know, Sachi Vixen rocks.
This is Daisies and it made its debut this week. It comes with two versions of the skirt. You’re seeing the more flared of the two in the picture. Like the others it comes in six colors and sells for L$300 a color or all six for just L$1200.
Ok, so here’s my story from my trip to Adam n Eve, and the real reason I rushed home from there to blog these dresses (aside from the OMG LOOK! quality of Snakeskin). Sachi Vixen is a good person, and she’s good with her customers.
While I was there, a customer was having a problem with a purchase- I know, I know, SL has been awful for me lately too. Anyhow, the customer assumed that Second Life had eaten the dress and was ging to wait a day and see if it showed up. Sachi gave that the old pffft and checked her logs to confirm the purchase and then promptly gave the shopper her purchase a couple of goodies as well. Adam n Eve employee extraordinaire Freyja Nemeth, who was also there helping said it best when she said that “Sachi spoils us.”
Which is a sentiment I have to agree with, look at this dress; it’s their freebie! You’ll find it on the far wall of the boutique under “Free Gift” or something similar.
Oh, and I almost forgot, while I was there I learned that there’s a special room somewhere over in the sim that only members of the Adam n Eve group know the location of, and it’s full of group only items. How cool a designer is that?
If you haven’t seen the new Boutique at Adam n Eve, go on over and say hi. Join their group and have some fun with one of the best houses of design in Second Life, Adam n Eve.
Wanna Get Yourself Published?
I don’t know what it says about me that I’m so easily talked into things. I probably don’t want to know.
On the bright side, I do like that this time they’ve talked me into moving up the publication schedule for the next issue of SexySecond Magazine. We will put out our third issue some time in mid to late April.
To do this, we need help. Specifically, we need your “sexiest outfits in Second Life” pictures. Last time we got a wonderful group of pictures and look for more of the same. To participate, you can email me your pictures or upload them to the Flickr Group. Have your pictures in by the end of the day, Sunday, April 6.
Make your pictures as large as possible and be sure and include information about the outfit, photographer, model and anything else you’d like to include!
If you are interested in advertising in this issue, contact me as soon as possible via email or notecard and IM. I need to know if you want space as soon as possible, though the actual advertisement does not need to be in until April 6.
I’m sure I will think of ten things I’ve forgotten as soon as I hit publish, but I wanted to get the info out as soon as I had it!
Lacey Luxury
For a really beautiful set of lingerie, I think Mannon Mannonen, creator and proprietress of Mannon’s, does one of the best jobs around! The textures are so delicate and realistic and really well executed all around. She sent me a few pieces of hers to try and I chose this pink lace set. It comes with two types of stockings - one lacy and one opaque as well as two types of undies - one with garter that I’m wearing and one lacy with no garter. The best part is that the whole set is only 180L and worth every penny I say. In the picture, I’ve paired it with another Mannon’s creation; a new skin called Myra. The one I’m wearing is the Dark Red lips with tan version. Each skin also comes with tintable eyes. A single skin is ONLY 450L and a pack of 4 for 1200L. You can pick up both the lingerie and skin as well as some fabulous clothes either at her Stella’s Mall location or her main shop on Alderney Island.
New Silks from Analise
I’ve been swamped in real life as I’m sure many of you are as well, and am more than a little eager for this winter to end. I found a temporary escape into Second Life long enough today to look at some silks that Talyn Barrett sent over ages ago that got lost in the pits of my inventory.
(The nooks and crannies of my inventory are the things nightmares of made of).
Anyhow, new (newish now) silks from Analise will brighten anyone’s day. (Note that if it has been a while (months) since your last trip to Analise you may need to go just to see the new build). Here you see Slave 4u. This comes in two colors I believe, each is L$400 and both together is L$700.
The new beauty is Carmina, which you see here to the left. Carmina comes in a bunch of colors, each is L$500 or the whole range is L$2500. The set is incredibly versatile with pants and multiple lengths of the silk cloth itself to provide you with a number of looks. The textures and details on the cloth, the veil and jeweled attachments, is gorgeous as all Analise creations are.
For a variety of great silks, get on over to Analise and take a look around at the build and at the clothes. I’m diving back into my inventory in case something else is lost down there. If you don’t hear from me in a day or two, send dogs.
Freebies
I have a couple of items on the theme of “freebies” I would like to share. First is that Rosemar is giving away 12 tones of “Creampuff” (see one to the left) right now at the new store at PopFuzz. I’ve only worn the skins for a minute or two but Rosemary Galbraith’s work has always been strong enough to warrant a look at anything she’s selling, let alone something she’s giving away.
Also, while you’re there, you might want to jog across the street to Popfuzz for their basement sale. Tons of items, each for just L$25! Go now, come back and read the rest of this post later, I understand.
The other thing I wanted to do was give a thank you and public shout out to Cherlindrea Lamont over at our sister blog Fabulously Free in Second Life. I rarely get any time to goof off in Second Life anymore, but this weekend I found myself with a couple of hours and took a newb shopping- or better yet, freebie-ing. I’ve flown many a newbie to the freebie shops, but this time I spent some time with the Fabulously Free Blog open and checked out some of the freebies described over there. What a fantastic thing that blog is for us! I know there’s a legion of loyal readers over there, and on behalf of us I say thank you for finding these treasures!
Saucily Sexy
I was really excited to discover this beautifully done lingerie number! I was wandering around the London Docks shopping around and came across a little kiosk owned by AmyEmily. The design is called Saucy and the whole set includes the bra, 2 sets of stockings, one long and one short along with 2 thongs and garter belt and a baby doll prim. The lace is very realistic ~ reminds me of expensive french lace and the bra cups have a realistic sheen to them mimicking a padded bra! It’s also available in other colours and each set goes for only 180L. I checked out her main location at Piccadilly Circus and there are some really sweet things available. So slap on those stilettos ladies and scamper down there~!
