Back to Black and a few more goodies!
Back to Black starts soon, and I can tell you there are going to be some GREAT things there! Back to Black officially opens its doors on Feb 11th. The whole event is based on raising awareness for mental wellbeing, it’s not affiliated with a charity, although there will be information readily available! There are several themes including Friendship, Endurance, Family, Survival, Spirit, Strength, Serenity, Determination, Courage, Hope, Life, Home Heart, Fighter and Comfort! I don’t have confirmed location details yet, but look out for it on the link above!
Hair: Mina | Eva ** Skin: Akeruka | Lisa MK 01 ** Outfit: Nemesis | Friendship Bodysuit | Black ** Boots: Lassitude & Ennui | Flutter | Raven (Mesh)
Hair: Elikatira | Abbey (not for BtoB) ** Skin: Adam & Eve: Amaris (not for BtoB) ** Outfit: Izzies
Also released today was the new Elikatira hair – Abbey!
Isn’t she a beauty!! She’s mesh and comes with a colour change bow, and yes, it is an issue to click on mesh with a texture/colour change addition, but all you need to do is bring up the edit/build menu so it’s open and then right click on the hair and choose touch, and it will bring up the menu. EASY PEASY.. but to make it even easier Elika rushed to get her HUD finished and Abbey now comes with a HUD. If you don’t have it, please redeliver to yourself and get it! 
Also new is the Amaris skin from Adam & Eve! I think Sachi is doing a wonderful job with evolving her skins and with each new one I love the face more and more, Amaris is one that I am loving so far! She’s smooth, she comes with tons of options (brows, cleavage etc) and various colour variants/makeups! A really peachy looking skin that I love!

Oh my… new stuffs!
This is going to be a very picture heavy post!! Sorry… I’ll try to keep the waffle down to minimum!
First we have Briar by Aura… due for release TOMORROW, exclusively (for now) for Stumblebum! I am so so so so excited about this skin because I AM IN LOVE WITH IT! She comes in 6 tones, 5 seen here (oops blogging delete mishap… SORRY)
With each tone you get cleavage options and freckle options… the lady garden isn’t bare but has a lil patch, but that doesn’t bother me as I barely get naked, although I think Tyr is releasing a fix to that (think!). Each tone comes with 16 makeups, and they are LOVELY, I srsly just love the lip on this skin:
If the makeups weren’t enough choice, you get 6 lipstick tatts too! Each is only wearable in it’s own tone though, so you won’t be able to mix and match with other skins, as the watermark with show through. Overall I found no cons to Briar, the shading is lovely, my tummy and bum looks toned.. I don’t care about the lady garden because I don’t look at it, but you might! So demo before you buy if it bothers you!
HI. ELIKA RELEASED MESH. Yes I woke up this morning, checked plurk and saw the epic Elikagasm going on… I was lucky enough to see the hair before it was released, in the development stages and I loved it then, I love it even more now it’s on mah head!!! Two styles: Over and Locked. Over is a lovely braided style that sits nicely over the shoulder, and Over is a different look for me, with the poofy bit atop the head and the longer hair over the shoulder, but srsly excited to see what Elika does next.. and yes, there will be clothes 
EPIC. CLOTHES.
Dekade reopened recently and offered 2 mens and 2 womens skins! Here you can see Grace and Bridget (shown in pale and tan respectively):
I’m not entirely sure I am in love with Grace as much as Bridget, but both come with brow options and the usual other options, hair bases etc etc. They also work on a tattoo make up system, just a couple of combos from each skin shown below:
Here is a couple of Grace:
And a couple of Bridget:
Overall the skin is lovely, the shading is just fine, but i’m not sure it’s very “me”. I do love the makeup being on tattoo layers though because SO much versatility. I think i’ll wear it around a bit, to get used to it! Go and try the demos, you might fall in love!
Wasabi Pills has released.. AGAIN! This is the Dragon mesh hair that is unisex! Just your basic longer hair style with bangs clipped to the top of the head… But I do love a good WP release
Also finally, new Truth. This is Gianna and Gianna 2. Both come with rooted/streak options so there is plenty to choose from. I am loving the shorter version (as it doesn’t cut into muh boobs). Also i’m a big fan of the streak, so these are a hit in my book too!
And that… my fair people, is that! I tried to make it short, I hope you go and demo everything! Here are your taxi’s:

Hairapy!
It’s like therapy.. but with hair. I HAVE LOTS OF NEW HAIR *squees gently*. Now, I had a bit of meltdown this morning after I couldn’t find the collage option in Picnik, thankfully my plurky friends (Annie, ty!) helped me out and I learnt I was just not seeing it where it used to be, but it was still there. I don’t know how you guys blog, but I make minimal touch ups on my pictures. I usually throw them into Picnik and just collage them up for ease. I have PS and I do my Frooti store ads in that, but for an easy, and simple life… Picnik is fab. I am so sad it’s going, like really really sad. It’s being “moved” to Google+ but from what I’ve seen and the rumblings I’ve heard.. not all the faaaaabulous options will be available.
I did look at alternatives like Picassa and FotoFlex etc… and they are nice! And do a lot of nice things, but nothing will beat Picnik! 
Anyway, now that sad is over.. HAIRAPY! That’s what I needed and that’s what I got:
Truth released both Alexis and Tammy yesterday! Alexis is cutesey with her double high ponies! and Tammy is a high high high single pony. I love them both! Simple yet effective 
Exile also released new hair! 2 Regular releases (and boys hair too!) and 2 TDR releases! We have Misha, Meg, Josie and Rayanne! Misha and Meg are just LOVE LOVE LOVE. I absolutely adore them. I think Meg might just be my new staple!! With her semi windswept look, ohhhh yes. Josie is avaiable at The Dressing Room Blue and is a cute short style, and as a bonus Rayanne is a TDR style but only available at the mainstore as a special! She’s a beaut too, total fairytail type hair
Wasabi Pills released a new style too, it’s braided over the front and just a normal, long style at the back. I still can’t take pics with shadows in Wasabi Pills hair with the stupid alpha bug! GRRR! It’s gorgeous though and you should definitely check it out. Cherilyn is her name and being cute is her game!
Tyr of Aura also released a new, pre-prelease teaser of Briar!!! Isn’t she a doll?! It’s available in the tones below, and each tone comes with the lipstick options at the bottom. She is a beauty, I am so happy to see Aura skins again!
Skintastical!
I have THREE new skins, and I couldn’t help but take pics to show you! There are two new from Curio and one from Redgrave… I’ll keep it non wordy, just look at the pics and FALL IN LOOOOVE (or not).
First have Downtown from Curio, followed by Uptown! The usual classiness from Curio that we’ve grown to expect, 6 faces with 2 makeups each. The lips are very pouty on these girls and there’s nothing too drastic make up wise, very nice and clean, light and pretty mostly! Lovely! Of course it comes with the usual options of freckles etc, and in all the tones. Shown here in Sundust and Petal <3
Now a bit of Redgrave! This is the new “Bella” skin, based on, well.. Bella from Twilight. You get a HUGE pack for just shy of $L1.5k that includes 10 skins, 6 lip tattoos, prim teeth (you can see in the top left on the first pic) or tattoo teeth, a shape (which was ummm, not my cup of tea and not reallllly that Bellaish imo) and 4 sets of eyes (all shown in the top pic) annnddd arm bracelets, and ohhh god lots of stuff! LOTS OF STUFF! I will say, the ears are not my fav ears ever on these skins, and the nose is kinda tiny, but nothing that can’t be fixed with a bit of shape tweaking, I don’t tend to tweak my face though, I LIKE IT
You should check out the demo TP to Redgrave!
Finally a set of Vamp Prim teeth that I have fallen in love with. ENJOY THEM ALSO! They are available here at A Netherworld!

New Mesh Hair and STUFFS!
Hi all,
We have decided to put a halt on the Alphabet Blog this week, with it being New Year, and Arbers PC being all broken. You guys feel free to carry on, we shall resume next week (or soon). So here, have me looking pretty instead:
This is the new hair from Wasabi Pills – Amandine. It’s SO EFFIN’ CUTE. It’s braids, with headbands and it’s mesh and I love it and I want MORE HAIR. I can not say too many times that WP are really REALLY owning the mesh hair right now, and I, for one, am stoked!!!!!
I chose to wear some lovely new Jewels from Carolines with it, you know… smooshing the cute with the classy like the adorable muppet I am … These are for Etheria.. It’s an event with the theme of “Painted Ladies of the Old West”. Caroline was invited and in turn invited Anessa Stine of DCNY to collaborate. Now I haven’t picked up the dress yet, but I have seen a picture and it is GORGEOUS. The jewellery set consists of a choker necklace with delicate beads draped from the tiniest of links. Elegant and Classy. It also comes with a pair of matching earrings. They come in Emerald, Sapphire, Ruby and Black, so you have a choice too!]
Slurls are below, and i’ve included one for DCNY so you can check out the dress <3

Skingasm!
Yes… SKINGASM! I have not one, not two, but THREE new skins! I AM A GIRL IN SKIN HEAVEN! So without further ado, let’s take a look!
First we have 2 new skins from Curio, the first featured is Angel, and yes, it’s a barely there skin. I’ve seen a lot of comments about how young these skins make you look, and I can see why! I’m very fresh faced, very natural looking in these. Maybe a good skin line for AV’s of a less mature in age nature, for sure. But she’s very pretty and it’s nice to see an entirely barely there range of skins for people that like that younger, clean look! As you can see there are a few subtle differences with the lips, but a majority are the splash of colours on the eyelids (that you can’t see all that well on these, sorry >.<).
Next up is Party Girl, and I have to admit, I was waiting for Party Boy to show up while I was trying them on, but alas, I was not Jackass’d . I really like this set, it’s another clean, fresh looking face, but with lots of splashes of colour this time! I love the lips on these, very full and luscious, with a bit of pearly sheen on a few. As you can see there are a few barely there styles, along with some real eye popping bright ones! I think anybody can find what they are looking for in this set, really!
Ok, now we have Linn from Glam Affair! I love GA Skins, but sometimes I wonder if I look a bit pouty, then I realise I don’t care if I do, if I like it.. it’s all good! The first picture here shows Linn’s “Clean” face, a very subtle tint to the lips, and some nice dark, but not overly caked on eyeliner for the eyes, a real nice staple.
These are the rest of the skins and as you can see there are quite the mixture of faces here! From bright fushias paired with mustard yellows to lovely bright red with super dark eyes. It’s a really interesting mix, and I admit, I can see myself wearing all of them at some point. I find the face mesmerising, pout included. Definitely one of my favourite Glam Affair releases.
This is the body on Linn, paired with the Mesh feet from Slink… I kinda like it

Fantastic Faun!… and then some.
Hiiii! Firstly, we are slightly tardy with the Alphabet blog, as we have 3 timezones to compete with, so please bear with us, N will be all up in your faces soon! (it was N, right?).. but to tide you over… I have a newwwww loooove, well 2 new loves!
First up is the new Winterfell Faun 2011 offering from Tyr of Aura fame! It’s up at Perfect Wardrobe and is a hell of a steal at just $L90!! You get the GORGEOUS skin, the horns, the ears, the faun feet/legs, winter breath and a tail! It is sooo cute! I think I have an older one somewhere, that I took with a similar pose last year! Either way, looooooving it! I do hope Tyr decides to release these skins in a full line because hi, I’m Willis. I AM IN LOVE.
Also out today was the Clementine hair from Wasabi Pills! IT IS SO ADORABLE! It’s a short style this time. It comes with a Hud to change the lil clip accessory and is just all round goodness, GOODNESS I TELL YOU! It’s a cute short style, not too short, not too shaggy… it’s super cute! You can get it from the Main Store or on the Marketplace as a gift, it’s that time of year!
Thanks for reading, and we will be back on track with the Alphabloggity soon, but don’t let that stop you from carrying on! <3
**CLICK THROUGH FOR LARGER PICTURES*
Hello ratfans! Sorry been awfully busy in the old RL and stuff, but redsoledrea sent me her new skin to take a peek at, and as the ever thankful blogger I am, I needed to blog about it! I am a bit late with it… but here is what I found:
When I put the tones on, I immediately fell in love with Milky, the others weren’t really “me”, so I just stuck to taking pics in Milky. The skins come with a OO option, which you can see on the main pic, that’s the boobalicious option! The shading on the skins is really nice, except on the bum, I wasn’t a big fan of the bum shading, but as I rarely take pics of my bum that’s not really a problem with me, it’s just a little harsh for my liking.
The release comes with 6 initial makeups and all are very sweet, nothing too major or dramatic, and nothing too bare. I did, however, have a problem with the lips. I found them to look a little “flat” that’s not to say other people won’t love them, perhaps i’m just used to a really pouty mouth. (almost typed potty there, would of been true!) The lips themselves are fine, but they do not suit me at all and i’m not sure why, they look a little like handdrawn lips (and perhaps they are!) and Willis and handdrawn have a HARD time meshing.
Overall it’s a really lovely first release (apart from the Skin Fair Skins – they were released already), I am going to keep a close eye on Boho Beauty and see what develops! Cos I reallllly love my stomach and boobs in this skin, muchly!
The hair featured is also new hair from Wasabi Pills! Isn’t she a beaut? Comes with a Bow or Clip attachment, but you don’t have to wear either. Sachiko is 100% mesh, so please demo!
I can’t give you an SLURL for Boho Beauty at this time, because I couldn’t find it online and I logged out already and i’m about to be booted from the PC!, but it is on the Chic Sim! Here is your taxi to Wasabi Pills

Vintage Fair – Curio Skins – Vintage and GoGo!
Hiiii!
Yep another Vintage Fair post, and let me tell you, we have some gorgeous (imo) looks coming up… but I just wanted to share you quickly before I hit the hay, the new Curio Skins that are out at the Vintage Fair RIGHT NOW!
First is Vintage! 12 Makeups as usual, in all the usual tones, and all the usual differences (dark, light, frex, no frex etc)…. I particularly love the faces in row 1 pic 2.. with the different nose shading.. and row 2 pic 2.. sooo minimal and gorgeous, absolutely love!
(excuse my non rezzing neck on that one, I was hasty, and didn’t realise.. but HEY.. look at the face, not my neck )
Next we have the GoGo skin! Another gorgeous addition to the Curio family, the heavy emphasis, I think, with these are the eyes. The lips are all minimalist/pale… but the eyes take over the driving seat with their dark and smokey looks this time. I for one love that, because I love a nice dark eye. Shame there isn’t a bit of colour variation for the lips but hey ho, always a tattoo layer if you’re desperate to hide the pale!
These are out NOW at the Vintage Fair… Direct SLURL: Curio
Thrusting Thursday!
I dunno why I chose that title, but it seems inappropriately appropriate, so please, thrust away my lovlies!
Anyway, I got on SL today and put on my…. yes.. you guessed it, new skin and hairs. I am trying to buy more clothes, I SWEAR! But I don’t want to buy new clothes until i’ve sorted out some old stuff, my inventory is out of control, man.
So anyway, new skin from Curio, new hair from Exile, some new makeups from cheLLe and I also picked up a new skin from a new event i’ve never seen before! So, let’s have at it:
The newest skin from Curio is Dainty, and dainty it is. The mouth is rather small on the skin, but I am a total Curio lovebug. I adore it, I think it’s cute! And with names like Trifle, and Cupcake for the makeups? Double sold to this bidder right herrreeeee:
Exile released some new hairs! 2 releases, and a mesh group gift! I also think there is a hair over at the dressing room, but I haven’t got my bottom into gear to get it yet! But…
On the left is the Group Mesh Gift, lovely! In the middle is Caramina and on the end Sherilynn! My fav is Sherilynn, it’s larger than life (ok not so much) and frissy and curly and LOVELINESS!
Gogo released some makeups under her cheLLe brand, a living dead set, and a vamp set! I picked both up on my “I must leave my skybox excursion” but I really love the vamp ones, there are 6 makeups in each pack, the 2 missing from here are eye-makeups, my pics were screwed, so I just didn’t add them, well worth the $L100 tho!
Finally, I’ve never heard of the Perfect Wardrobe event before, perhaps because I live under a rock, but I went along and got a few things, and I particularly love the skins from Sorry Asia, there is a male skin too, which I did pick up but meh.. couldn’t be botherd to dress my malt up and Gus wasn’t around to satisfy my bossy “GO AND BUY THIS” needs! BOO! Anyway, everything is $90L and there is a whole array of stuff! The only downfall, in my opinion, of this skin is the mouth, it’s rather dark around the edges, and a lil dry looking, but I think for $L90 I am a happy bunny with it, and anyway, it’s a crying skin… you cry, your lips go dry.. or something.
SLURLS are all embedded into the post if you click the store names, and that’s about it!
