Moon Pigeon

This post is running late, which I apologize for. I wanted to post a close-up shot, but it looked terrible. So I just have these two shots for this post, since I wanted to get it up before the February cycle of Collabor88 ends.
This unbelievable outfit is from the uber talented is from Harry Hyx of ISON. I adore the minimal and sleek lines of both the jacket and bottoms.

This nicely stuctured Nova Tribe Jacket top is accented with a flared bottom. When you turn around, there is sexy open back. I wish I could think of the words to describe this exactly, but my brain is not functioning properly as of late (LOL). I blame it on my Smart Phone, which actually makes me too lazy to think. The Nova Zipper Pants are made of a sumptuous leather texture with zippers going all the way down the sides.

The brilliant candy colored hair, which is called Lady Stardust, is from one of my favorite virtual hair stylist, Bubbles Clawtooth. I love the generous waves and sexy side-swept do. Please note that I did photoshop the hair a bit in these pics, since the poses chopped off parts of it. 

The stunning skin is from the talented Shyla Diggs of -Belleza-. It is one of three Mimi skin exclusives for the Whore Couture Fair. Mimi is definitely one of my favorite -Belleza- skins to date, so I was super excited to see that Shyla released more make-ups for this event. Please make sure go an demo it ASAP!

Beautiful, But Late

Do to health reasons and other RL stuff, I had not been around SL much for the last 6 weeks (give or take). So, suffice it to say, I was late meeting my deadline to post these pics for the August cycle of Collabor88 . However, since I had taken these pictures and I was so in love with all of August's creations, I figured I would post them anyway. I do believe that almost all the Collabor88 exclusives will be in the designer's mainstore. So, let me post these pics and credits really quick. Btw, aida Ewing's (of  -Glam Affair- ) new "Katya" skin that I am wearing is too gorgeous for words!

Azure Electricteeth (of Tee*fy) and Marie Laurderson (Milk Motion) really went out of their way to create the most lovely 20's inspired clothes and accessories. 

Gyorgyna Larnia (of  LaGyo) also out did herself with here "Helen Necklace and Bangles" . 

All of the home decor items were amazing too. Isla Gealach of Cheeky Pea and Ewan Mureaux of Conspiracy Theory, collaborated on this fabulous art deco inspired "Beresford Vanity, Clock and Wall Light". The "Beresford Collection" also includes a bed, night stand, dresser and lamp in a choice of "Razzle" or "Dazzle" color palates.

I am also in love with this "Mission Armoire" by warehousefifteendesigns Resident of Apple Fall. M4ri1yn Magic of  ~Tableau Vivant~, made the brilliant "Stag Chair", which comes with a choice of 2 texture changing options - via script or via HUD. The wall mirrors, framed prints, and room are all part of the "Alders Living Room in Mahogany" from The Loft.  

I think I mentioned almost everything. I am so exhausted, so please forgive me if I missed anything. I list everything in the credits anyway....

Last Day for August Collabor88!

I am going to try and make this post quick. This is the last day for the August cycle of Collabor88! I really wish the last month was not so crazy for me, because I really wanted to post every single creation for this round. Sadly, I was not able to. All of the creators who were involved with August's round, which was also Collabor88's 2 year anniversary, did an outstanding job. The theme is vintage 1920's (aka "Razzle Dazzle"). Just a think of a huge party of Gatsby's. All of the creations in this post are August Collabor88 exclusives (except for my Maxi Gossamer "FuFu Bag")!
Maylee Oh (of The Secret Store) created this exquisite "Sequined Flapper Dress". It also comes in another version with a different pattern. Unfortunately, while preparing to show you the second dress in my close-up picture, I made a huge mistake. I added the new dress to my avatar, but forgot to take off the old dress. When I went to snap the pic, I did not notice that the previous dress was still showing and covering-up the new dress. It was not until I was finished editing my pics that I noticed this. So, I apologize to everyone, especially Maylee. Ms. Oh, as most of you know is one of my all time favorite SL designers. It has been a pleasure watching her creations evolve and become more amazing with each new release. Her designs are always perfectly rendered and textured, which shows just how much love and care go into her work. You simply must grab this dress and demo it NOW, if you have not already done so yet!

I paired this dress with these fabulous "Casinelle" shoes from Allegory Malaprop of  Schadenfreude. Not only are these shoes beautiful, but they are texture change too! Allegory created a HUD, which gives you the ability to change the color of each part of shoe (ie, the sole, sides, middle, book, heel, etc..). They are also come in a "materials" version too! Another MUST demo! Here is what the HUD looks like.

I also apologize for taking a close-up shot of the shoes. I thought I would have more time.

This gorgeous skin that I am wearing, is from Hart Larsson of PXL Creations. He created a lovely vintage version of his 'Kate' skin, which comes in 4 gorgeous make-up and a new 'vintage' skin tone. Each skin also comes with 2 different brow shapes and brow tattoos - Vintage and Standard. The skin itself has no brows, so you can wear your own brow tattoos or none at all. He also made Slink appliers to go with the new skin tone as well. You can buy the skins and appliers separately, or you can buy them all in one extra discounted pack. I am wearing the 'KATE Vintage "Paris" makeup' in the above images. So, please make sure to go and demo it!

Caelyn Hancroft is quickly making a name for herself. Her brand Cae, houses some of the most stunning mesh jewelry on the grid. For this cycle Collabor88, she created this gorgeous "Dazzle" necklace and tiara. Both pieces are texture change via script too!

I know I am blabbing a lot, but I am so excited about everything in this post! Bubbles Clawtooth created this seriously fabulous mesh hair style called, "Say Yes". Bubble's Hair is always brilliant and is always a MUST demo!

Normally, I would go on about the decor at this point, but I am in a hurry! Collabor88 is closing soon! Well, I will mention one more thing, besides the lovely "Boudoir Vanity" from floorplan and the awesome "Evelyn Piano" from Alouette. Mesh Peacocks! I simply adore these mesh "White Peacocks" from Aime Takaaki of *MishMish*. Aime created versions for rezzing and for wearing! They are so adorable and wonderfully made. I am really in love with all of Aime's creations. 

So, with that said, here are the credits and LM (Get your butt there NOW!):

Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful?

Have I told you just how much I love this round of Collabor88? I think I have, but I just can't get over how amazing it is, so I will  tell you again. Not only is the theme brilliant, but all of the designers really outdid themselves. I wish I could blog everything, but it would take me way into the next round of Collabor88, since I am the slowest blogger on Earth. Just in case you do not know, the them is called, "Razzle Dazzle". It is inspired by the the 'Roaring '20s' and 'The Great Gatsby'. All of the items mentioned below are Collabor88 exclusives

For this post, I chose to wear this stunning "Claudette dress", from Sissy Pessoa of Baiastice. I paired it a fabulous "Mink Princess Stole" from Sanya Bilavio of .: ryvolter :.. I have been searching for the perfect mink stole and now I have found it! 

I had a very difficult time choosing what jewelry to wear with my ensemble, since there are so many lovely pieces to be found at this month's Collabor88. I chose the very elegant and versatile, "Florentine Lover's" necklace and bracelet from Maxi Gossamer. I love the fact the both the jewels and the metals are all texture change, leaving me with a multitude of style options. 

One of my most delightful discoveries from this cycle of Collabor88, is from Nina Helix of .Birdy. Skins. I have just recently heard about her skins, but have not got around to trying them on until now. Her 'Aria Skin', which I wearing in these photos, is so lovely.I am impressed by her great eye for detail and beautifully rendered features. Not to mention her fresh and dewy skin tones. 'Aria' comes in 6 beautiful make-ups in the 'Pure' skin tone. Each make-up comes with 2 brow styles (thin and thick) in 4 different brow colors (which are embedded into the skin), 3 blush tattoos, several mole tattoo options, and 2 different make-up styles (dewy or regular). You really must demo this skin for yourself. 

The hair was another difficult choice, since there are a tons of wonderful hairstyles this round. I decided on Marisa Kira's (of "D!va Hair") "Layla" hair style. I love this short curly bob with wispy tendrils.

The "Alders Living Room" decor is from the uber talented Colleen Desmoulins of The Loft. This art deco inspired living room is to die for! 

I think I have almost everything covered. I am so tired, so please excuse my short descriptions. I doubt anyone reads what I write anyway. LOL. So, here are the credits and LM to Collabor88:
