How's it feel?

Pose : Go&See * LoveBites * 5 @ Love Bites Hunt

Background : Foxwood - Fleur - Backdrop @ Collabor88

So today I decided I was going to just take it easy, and do a pretty basic shot without anything too fancy going on.

Then I saw all the AMAZING that has popped up lately, scrapped that idea, and now I have an absolute TON of information for you. Grab a coffee, grab a sammich, and sit your butts on your chair for all the good stuff!

Pose 1-5

Hey Go&See, I see you! There are 10 poses available from Go&See for the Love Bites hunt. 

I always adore the poses from Go&See, but poses for me are kinda awkward to blog because everyone is a different shape, and depending on what body I'm using, the hands dig in where they shouldn't or some other body part is protruding through, however, whenever I DO take the risk and grab a pack, I'm absolutely never disappointed. I feel like these are perfect for pictures, and could also be used for some cutesy static AO stands too!

Pose 6-10

In the above pictures I'm wearing the AsteroidBox Ursa Lingerie & the shoes from the Miss Chelsea Lilo Outfit, not shown in the main picture above.

I decided to kill two birds with one stone here, which took a while, because I'm still not as organized as I'd like people to think! However, here we have the skin tones for the gorgeous Tanya skin from Revoul, shown on the Lelutka May head. 

Also shown are ALL the tones from the Lotus Royal Eyes. (you can click on the picture to make it larger on your screen for more details). Lotus has recently changed the way they sell their mesh eyes, which are what i'm wearing in the pictures,  un-rigged Mesh Eyes are now available at the Lotus Main Store, which leads me to believe that when you purchase a mesh eye applier in the future, you will need these new mesh eyes to make everything work, but you'll be able to change your eyes using the future Lotus Mesh Eye appliers available at both the mainstore, and any events. An advantage of this means you will never adjust your mesh eyes again!

I'm kind of struggling to think coherently today, it's like I woke up with my head up my butt!

I even took a nap, but I woke up feeling like my head was even further lodged up there!

Anywho, as you may have noticed, I'm featuring more lovely Dappa things. I really loveeeee the colour tattoo's that are being produced at the moment and this one can be found at Limit8. There are two available at the event, and this one show is the limited edition version. I think the event opened a couple of days ago, so hopefully there's still a few copies to grab, but I haven't had the opportunity to check yet.

Happy Shopping!

There is so much brain activity going on in my head right now I'm kind of struggling to function.

This is amplified by the fact I've managed to completely screw up my sleep schedule! I'm mad at myself, but I know this is just me taking a step backwards before starting off onto my whole "New Pickle" regime again. 

I've been joking lately that I'm going through an entire mid-life crisis. I feel like maybe I'm a little bit young to actually have a mid-life crisis, but then I remember that I'm only 19 in my head, and maybe it's completely appropriate to feel like a post-pubescent teenager again, 19 years later. (shh. I'm old ok?)

Ideally, I would use this time to buy a brand new car (preferably something fancy - and red. A Porche convertible, because it is Summer here, after all.) and then I remember I can't drive, so that goes out of the window. I'd also like a toy-boy... but only in theory. I've figured out that toy-boys are lovely to look at, but I don't game, don't like anime, and get tired of innuendos fairly quickly, so I reckon I'll just stick with single-dom until the crisis subsides!

I hope your Friday outlook is bright - don't forget to grab your 50L friday goodies!

I've spoken very briefly about the Red Light District event currently going on, the new round opened on the 15th of June and once again they've bought a plethora of wonderful creators together to offer some amazing quality items all at the event.

I am going to drop the website >Here< , you can find a BUNCH of information (including my lovely picture on the blogger page - see if you can find my photo!) including designer details, pictures of products available at the event, and all the gossip about the winners of the coveted "featured designer" trophies so far! Seriously, don't miss out - I have absolutely adored covering RLD, it has been professional, original and quality since it started four rounds ago, and I'm excited to see how it develops along it's journey, and I genuinely believe that it adds realism to the over-saturated Event-Market that seems to be taking the SL world by storm. If you have a penchant for the adult side of SL, you WILL find something here for you, and regardless of my standing as a blogger for the event, I will stand by not only the management, but the quality too.

When I was little, my Grandad had a greenhouse. I don't remember being allowed in it too often, mostly because it was his pride and joy - we were free to run riot anywhere in the garden except his vegetable patches and the greenhouse and because Grandad was Grandad, we listened. On the rare occasion he beckoned me in, he would show me his seedlings, his big, masculine thumb and pointer finger, covered in dirt, delicately holding these tiny little tomato plants (usually) or sometimes the beginnings of marrows or carrots before they got transferred outside to finish growing. 

He's long since passed, but I'll never forget looking up in that greenhouse, and seeing streaks of sunshine coming through the cloudy glass. I remember at one point he cursed (and Grandad never cursed), because one of the neighbours children had kicked a ball over and the glass pane had smashed on the roof, and all I can picture is the bright blue of the sky through the gap, which is incredibly unusual for England!

I was talking to my good friend Juni yesterday, wondering how decor bloggers do this, and wanted to challenge myself a little. I know I've done big posts in the past with lots of decor, but I feel like so far, this is the closest I've come to actually succeeding with something outside of -my- box. I thought "Surely it'll be easier for people to label their pictures with notes?" but on pondering that for a while, I just can't see how that'd work either, because no matter how I label it, there might be some confusion as to which product is which, so I settled on doing it via store-name. Hopefully that way it'll be quicker to sort through the piles of things I've used in this post!

I've also switched up the side-by-side inworld pics I usually do. I've almost always tried to use shadows in those images, but I've never been content with the way they look and have felt for a long time that they just miss the mark. I've done away with the shadows, and am now using CAIWL windlight, on ultra, nothing fancy, and I much prefer the finished product.

I hope your weekend was a pleasant one! xoxo
