Last Day For June Collabor88!

I am going to make this post really short, since this cycle of Collabor88 is coming to end at 11:59 SLT. The theme is called "Chill Pill" and is basically made-up of bright colors that you would see at rave and fabulous retro 90s designs. For this post I am featuring one of my favorite looks from Julliette Westerburg of -tres blah-. It is a floral 'Spaghetti Strap Dress' with a t-shirt layered underneath. You can also opt to wear it sans t-shirt too. However, I feel this creation definitely signifies '90s casual retro at it's best! So, make sure you hurry over to Collabor88 before it ends!

Before I forget, it is the first weekend of the month again! This means that it is time for 'Belleza Best Buys'! For this whole weekend, -Belleza- will have 3 exclusive female skins for just $400! They also have 3 different awesome skins for the guys too. Tricky Boucher outdid himself this month by creating 3 stunning new make-ups for his 'Ashely' skin line that was debuted at 'Summerfest'. Each make-up is available in all tones. This is one opportunity you do not want to miss, so TP over there now!

Backyard Boho

Uff! Is it just me or is SL being a major pain in the butt this weekend? I heard it may be due to SL rolling out their server side baking. Unfortunately, I will not be able to experience this nifty new feature until the Firestorm or LL viewer makes it possible for me to shoot very large custom sized images. If you are photographer, who has upgraded to the latest Firestorm, I am sure you noticed the 'black rectangle' glitch with images above 4000 pixels. So, suffice it to say, I had to downgrade to my last Firestorm install. Small images with low quality is not an option. And I hate to say this, but what is the point of having all these amazing new photo tools, when you can't take decent picture? Regardless, I am excited about all the new advances, but I do hope they fix this issue soon.
My health still is on the mend, so I am also moving very slow. There are all these great releases and amazing things I want to post, but I am just not up to speed to show them yet. Please bear with me (Or is it "bare"? I always forget :/)

It is the first weekend of the month, which makes it Belleza's BEST BUY weekend! All weekend long (until 11:59pm SLT on Sunday), Belleza has 3 exclusive editions of Mya (created by the very talented Shyla Diggs) for the very nice price of 400L per skin! She is available in all skin tones, so definitely make sure you get over there now and DEMO them! Grab your men too, since Belleza also has 3 versions of Jonas for the Guys! They are also 400L per skin and come in all tones! Shyla Diggs did a seriously amazing job with each skin!

If you read my last post, I went on about Kavar Cleanslate's (of Exile) amazing new hair releases that are HUD driven with 8 streaking options. I figured this new stunning long and curly style, called "You'e Got The Love", added a bit of boho romance to my look. You really need to go over to Exile and try on ALL of Kavar's new styles and check-out the new HUD's cool features as well.
If you notice in the background, I have picnic table, cooler, barbecue grill, lanterns and even some pennants! This is all part of 'Cassie's Backyard Barbecue' from uber creative Isla Galeach of Cheeky Pea! It is a FaMESHed exclusive too! The picnic table seats 4 avatars and has 9 animations! Not to mention, the table is covered with tons of food and condiments. Despite all the amazing details, Isla manages to keep the LI is fairly small. Plus, the food items are not linked, so you can take away or add, depending on your prim availability. I need to invite some friends over for the Barbecue, so I can show you all the amazing options! There is also an awesome blow-up swimming pool with 25 animations, which I have to show you! So, please stay tuned...

Feeling 'Unhinged'

I am always amazed at how strong this small virtual community, called 'Second Life', can be. I am sure you have heard by now that one of talented residents, Eku Zhong, has been battling multiple illnesses and is desperately in need of a surgery that could help her tremendously. Unfortunately, with the economy being the way it is, she needs some help. This is where all her amazing friends, designers and SL residents come in to play. 75 percent of all the gacha sales at this event will go to Eku's 'Bone Fund'. One million lindens has already been raised! So, I encourage you go check-out the 'Eku Unhinged SL' event and play tons of gachas, listen to live music and help raise more cash! For more info regarding this event and Eku's story go here: http://unhingedsl.com/about/
This event will last until the 15th of December, so you have plenty of time to get out there and shop. For this post, I am featuring two event exclusives. One is a gorgeous mesh dress from Geometry and the other is a fabulous skin from Bilo (I had no idea they also made such beautiful skins!). Here is your LM:

Last, but certainly not least, we are wearing the latest, and long awaited, releases from Truth Hawks. Kaelyn is wearing 'Bree'. which is a very loose side pony with very sexy side-swept bangs.
