Keeping Cool

It is another seriously HOT day in NYC, so I figured I would stay inside and be comforted by the air conditioning. So, I decide to login to SL and I am imagining that I am somewhere in upstate New York by a pond; being totally lazy. Maybe this weekend I can do this in RL. LOL! Anyway, I have the perfect look for such lazy warm days. Maya Levane, of Toki-Doki, has been on such a roll lately! She has been creating the most perfect mesh Summer separates. And, for Stumblebum this week, you can grab her exclusive mesh 'Mari Top'. I decided to pair this gorgeous top with Maya's mesh 'Cocoro' shorts, which come in every color imaginable!
Siddean Munro,of Slink, just answered my prayers this week and finally released a pair of mesh 'Aussi Thongs'! I have been waiting to see who would release the first pair of mesh flip-flops and Siddean did an just this! What I love most about these 'thongs', is they are created to go with her mesh feet. Yes, you do have to buy the mesh feet separate, but they are DEFINITELY worth it. I have not taken them off all Summer! She has created other sandals and shoes to go with these feet too. The thongs come with both a rigged and non-rigged mesh option.
One Voice is still going strong and we have manged the raise 20K needed for Gala Phoenix to cover her legal fees. I can't tell you how much it warms my heart to see the SL community get together and help a fellow resident, as well as amazing creator, in need. It just goes to show that with a common goal and lots of support, anything can be accomplished. Thankfully, One Voice is on until the 22nd, so please come buy a pick-up one of the many fabulous designer exclusives. For more info on One Voice and Gala's legal situation, go here:http://curioonline.org/  
Inka Mexicola, of Essences, created this stunning 'Moana' skin for One Voice. In comes in 3 skin tones and has several tattoo options. Inka's skins are quickly becoming a huge favorite of mine.
And last, but definitely not least, Truth Hawks has been creating hair like crazy again. For this post I chose his latest release, called 'Aurora'. It is rigged mesh and comes with a HUD so you change the color of the headband, I am totally in love with this long and wavy style. So, let me stop my babbling, so you can go try on some demos! Here are your LMs:

Suri & I in VOIX

I must apologize in advance for awful styling and graphics. I was really sick yesterday and having major connection issues, so these pics weren't taken under the best circumstances. However, I had been wanting to blog this amazing new collection, aka VOIX, which was created by the extremely talented Gisele Mubble. It is basically an extension of one of my favorite brands, Fleshtone. I also had been wanting to get together with Suriko Leimes again, so we could do a post together. Doesn't she look fabulous? Her pics are even better. Anway, VOIX has tons a thin wrap belts, which I LOVE. Rich cashmeres, bold colors and textures, beatiful totes and soft fur stoles. All which are very easy to mix and match as well. An extremely luxurious collection. So, let me stop my babbeling, while you go check-out this amazing collection in person. Here is your limo to VOIX: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Barcelona%20Virtual/222/18/2

Pure Platinum!

I just want to let everyone know that I have been really sick lately. So I apologize for the delay in my posts. I have been pretty much bed ridden for last few days. Luckily, I was feeling a bit better this evening. So, I finally was able to get together with awesome blogger and friend, Suri Leimes of The Bunneh Files. Not only is she one of the sweetest and most sincere people I have met in SL, but really patient too! *Laughs* I take FOREVER to take a pic I like, so you need give Suri mad props for her patience and amazing style! If you check out the previous link to her blog, you can see this for yourself. Anyway, We are both covering the uber amazing 'Platinum Hunt 2', so we decided to show of some of favorite pieces from the hunt. If you haven't started this hunt yet, you absolutely must do it now! Yes, the hunt items do cost $10L each, but they are more than worth this paltry amount. These are top dollar and top notch creations from the best designers on the grid! Trust me when I tell you that this is one opportunity you don't want to miss...especially when you can score so many amazing goods!.
