Daydream Believer
But not a homecoming queen. Today I decided to go for something a little different. A lot of the time I have ideas in my head that I just can’t get out! I suck at stuff, but I am digging water pictures, so you get another of those. SORRY! (click through for bigger pics)
The Dreamer Bed comes from the very talented Tya Fallingbridge, and comes in both Black and White for this months FaMESHed… you can also get the candleholders you see, in 3 different heights. It’s a really dreamy looking bed, hence the name, with hanging stars and crisp looking linen sheets. There are various couples poses and a few singles too, even one reading a book that rezzes when you swap to it, so you don’t have to worry about losing pesky props! Such a gorgeous, well made bed, that is perfect for the teen or adult and with both Black and White options, you can fit it into almost any decor too! YAY! My feet are from GOS and my pose is from Frooti!
Also from FaMESHed is this Slip Dress from Cracked Mirror and Hair from Exile! The Dress comes in various colours and is a sexy little number. It’s definitely going to go more in my undercrackers folder than my dress one, but I think you could happily get away with either. It’s a gorgeous Satin looking number with a slit side and will help you out while you are in your gorgeous new bed, nudge nudge, wink wink. The hair is, as usual, divine from Exile! A bit of a bigger, slightly swept longer style this time, perfection is a word that I love to use when it’s deserved, and this is well and truly deserved! The skin I am wearing is one of the Pink Fuel Arcade Skins!!! I didn’t have as many goes as I’d like on the machine, as I started to get doubles, but this is the “Ghost” one, and it’s hauntingly beautiful and it’s only $L100 per play!!!! HUZZAH!
For this final, close up picture, I am showing you the Twisted Hunt 2013 item from Songbird! You get this gorgeous pair of swirly mesh eyes, and the makeup swirl too! It makes for a bit of a different look, and a change from the norm and it’s a hunt gift!! How much more could you ask for, hmmm?

Oops… I did it again…
I finally got The Arcade and went slightly mental, especially with the FD BB Head Gatcha, BUT I JUST LOVE THEM!
Click through for large picture
First off, I think I got the heads, second off… yes I seem to have a problem with knowing when to stop, but hey! It’s fun! (incidently if you want any of these heads, there are plenty of spares for sale in my skydome, for cost price LOL) but just LOOK at them, ugh they are just so much pure love and talent right there. Toast has always been someone I admire greatly from a far (I even had her in my skybox once in 2005 I think!!) and she oozes talent, I went mental for her heads last time, and again it appears I couldn’t stop myself. I don’t use them as often as I sure but I really appreciate the workmanship in them, and they are just fantastic! Each head comes with clickable options including tone, texture even shiny for the skins, and then you get eye colours to choose from, you can even change the ears on the rares, so there is plenty of choice. I now need to buy some more FD skins so that the tones match a bit better, but who would say no to that?! The Rares include cat, deer, nymph, pixie, mouse (that bugger took me about 5000millllllion to find) and bunny… and the “normal” are just as fookin’ adorable!!! Especially crosseyed and bumpkin!!!! I LOVE THEM ALL!!!
Also available at The Arcade SL is this lovely hair from Truth, I’m usually not fussed too much about what colour I get, but different colours come with different headbands, so I guess I’ll be trotting back for more of these babies! SIGH! The skin is also found there, this is one of the gorgeous Glam Affair Luria Skins, another machine that I will be plunging repeated lindens into in a futile attempt to treat them like Pokemon and catch them all!!!
The gorgeous dress is from Sakide, really lovely mesh item, textured beautifully and is among a million and four things you can find out at Sakide, one of my fave stores. Kinu is always releasing new stuffs for events and just for the store, it’s all really reasonably priced and there is something for everyone, without a shadow of a doubt (except maybe boys.. stinky stinky boys!)
This won’t be the last Arcade post from me, I’m sure, but for now I think I need to nurse my wallet, or find me a sugar daddy!!!

Insufferable Dastard @ The Arcade SL
Yep, another blog about The Arcade SL, I’m sure you’ve all seen everything 100 times over, I still have LOTS to get, but here are some more goodies!
Insufferable Dastard has a total of 6 skins out, each comes in 3 tones and complete with brow shaper and shape too! I have shown each tone, from left to right you see Pale, Medium and Tan, there isn’t a huge difference between them, but definitely noticeable. Each of the make-ups is quite subtle, one with a little hint of pinky orange gloss, one with smouldering smokey eyes…. but the nice thing is they are ALL wearable for many avatars, because they’re really natural looking.
If you are looking for a skin to feel comfy and natural in, any of these ID skins will do. TP to The Arcade now!
The Relics of Oz…
.. Well… some of them! HANDverk continued their theme for this round of The Arcade, following on from the Mad Hatters Tea Party Set… you can now grab yourselves the Relics of Oz!
Not all the Relics are shown here, but a mere handful. You can get a superb range of goodies including the items seen here, which are: Dorothy’s Basket, Silver Slippers, Woodman’s New Heart, Green Spectacles, The Cyclone and The Golden Cap… but you can also get much more including The Wizard’s Balloon, Lion’s New Courage, Tinman’s Oil and MORE… the two rare items are the Silver Slippers and a Display Case… the case is useful because a it houses ALL the items, obviously some come with display option and wearable, so that’s a double bonus!
I think its a really unique gacha, and if you scrambled to buy the last set you may well do the same with The Relics of Oz. All crafted lovingly and to the highest standard, these are definitely some pieces of art.
I will leave you with a little bit of a closer look at Dorothy, you can find her and her pals at Doll Coco, they were frees gifts (the LI is quite high on the models, Dorothy is wearable, just fyi!)
Get to The Arcade and grabs yours… well when you can get it in!
Half Deer @ The Arcade
It’s almost March 1st, and it’s almost upon us! I have a little preview of Half Deers AWESOME items, you will drool and trip over yourselves to get these, srsly.
First off we have the Sugar Battalion! A cute little cupcake and oh em gee, they are gorgeous! They don’t do much in the way of practicallity but they are so darned cute you can’t help but fall in love. Of course I messed with the sizes of mine and made a little army, I think I may have one little bugger hidden somewhere, but you find all the details over at the Half Deer Flickr page. So you can wear them, use them as decor.. whatever you want! But I can guarantee you will want them all. I love mine!
Also being released are the Eternum Antlers. Half Deer to me is a shop that provides you with all your fantasy horn needs, everything is sugar coated, whimsical and just so well done it makes your jaw drop. Here are all the ones you can get, and then a close up of some of the detail:
There are 12 to collect, with 3 rares and all of them are stunning. They are unrigged mesh with a resize script so you can mess around with the size if you want them smaller or bigger, but I found them just perfect! The detail on them is stunning, with whisps of kelp and seaweed on the Mermaid ones and a cute little cupcake, star and strawberry slices on the Whimsy one. There are studs, stars, bunting, lace… I can’t even tell you in good enough words how beautiful these items are and I predict these will be some of the top sellers this year, along with a few other things I’ve spied. Perfect for fantasy pictures, and with all these to choose from you can probably make many a fantasy situation much much cuter with these! YAY!
I can’t wait to get my hands on all The Arcade goodies, I have a feeling my lindens are going to take a huuuuuuge whack… again.. and again… and again…
Also used in this blog, items from Belleza, IKON and Chemistry.
It’s a Sin
Well, I don’t know what’s a Sin, but pretty sure we’re all sinners in some way, yes? Yes!
PXL have released a new Gacha skin! This time it’s based around the 7 Deadly Sins. You will have to click through to Flickr to see a bigger picture, but I can assure you these babies are well worth having. Gluttony (the larger side pic) and Lust (top right) are the Rare skins, the rest are just regular. They are all very different, some a bit cuter than others… like Gluttony comes with a Cherry for the Tongue, and some a bit darker… Wrath (bottom right) is a bit of a smokey beauty for example. At only $L99 a play these are going to be filling up your inventory fast, trust me! Also worn in this photo are two more prizes from Global Domination! The gorgeous off the shoulder top is the prize from Decoy, and it comes in 4 lovely colours. It’s mesh and comes in standard sizing, and comes with 2 alpha options too! The hair is one of two prizes from Alice Project (a special streaked version also available as an incentive prize) and this is Tyr! An updo with a lovely mesh rose on the back (you can’t see that, sorrrryyyy, you’ll have to go and win it). A really beautiful combo, especially with the skins too!
Another new skin out recently was Gia from Ploom. Shown here in Vanilla, this is another one you will have to click through to view larger. Gia comes in a huge variety of tones and has appliers and tattoo layers and much more! Each “pack” doesn’t only come with an array of goodies including lashes and nail covers (for use with prim/mesh nails) they also come with two make ups! So you get two, for the price of one really, and I love a good bargain. I haven’t taken a body shot, but you can see one over here if you’d like to see Sasy semi naked: CLICK ME. I can tell you that I was super impressed tho, super clean and not a seam in sight, soft not too harsh, this really is a beautiful skin. Also included with each skin (or pack) is a set of 14 lipsticks, making it an even BIGGER bargain than you can imagine. I haven’t shown the lipsticks here, I figured you can go and look at those for yourself when you rush and buy all.. ok ok… some of the Gia skins (no really, get them all). The hair worn in this is the Victoria hair by Alice Project and I did take a shot to futz around with in PS when I get the chance, because under the cut, covering my lady bags are the most wonderful curls!
Also, while I am here, since I am no longer super active on any social networking platform, and since I have become a bit busier in RL I have a new RL blog (well two actually!).. If you’d like to read about what i’m up to (i start at an Animal Shelter tomorrow as a volunteer.. that sort of thing), please do feel free to follow me over at Octopi and Jellyfish <3

HOHOHO… or something.
I am lacking for inspiration for blog titles, so… sorry about that!
A few items for you in this post, Collabor88 has opened and is FULL of awesomesauce, I expect I’ll be blogging some of that for you soon enough, but for now a few random odds and ends that I love!
Lexi Morgan put out these leather ruffle skirts the other day, and I knew I had to own one, if not all of them! So when she also later released her “Ugly Sweatshirts”, I figured that was my cue to get on down there! Nothing says Christmas more like an Ugly Sweater, does it? We’ve all been there, some of us enjoy it, it’s a tradition to find the worst sweater, some of us just wanna be snug as a bug in a rug with a festive twist. You maybe on either side of that fence, or on a different one all together, but I saw this Cat styled one and I knew it was mine! There are other styles and each is standard sized, so you don’t have to worry, large or small there IS an Ugly Sweater for you!
Skin | Candydoll ** Hair | Exile
Nimil Blackflag has also started releasing again after the birth of her son, Vincent! These oversized sweaters are Songbirds offering for Twisted Krissmuss! I wasn’t sure about the large cuffs at first, then I realised I would love this in RL, I love sweaters like this that are meant to be big and baggy and hide a multitude of sins, including ALL the Christmas chocolates and more turkey than you can shake a stick at! YAY! There are styled in a grungey fashion and come with a skull and splat version, with various sizes too! YAY!
Skin | Glam Affair ** Hair | Lamb ** Necklace | Izzies
Another Arcade SL goodie collage here! Glam Affair and Tableau Vivant teamed up to bring us HAIR! YES! HAIR! It comes in M and F versions both L and S sized, so you will probably find a good size to fit you! These aren’t all the textures available at the Gacha, just a selection, but I am loving them! Particularly the dip dyed ones! A very sleek looking style, this really does work on either sex avatar, and I expect a few boys I know will be wearing this for a good while! Make sure you get on over to the Arcade and check them out, the rares are small packs of colours too! YIPPEE!

I’ve been TANGO’d… again!
This time in the nude!
Three of my fave skin makers (and more probably, who knows!) have released appliers for the Lola Tango Boobs! I just wanted to showcase how well the appliers match the skins, so below the cut there is some NSFW stuff!
Insufferable Dastard…
Up until recently I always thought ID was only about eyes, I think I was a bit wrong! Aula has recently (I think) branched out with Skins and they are delicious! I stopped by today and fatpacked one of them, and snagged myself a “look” too! More about everything below.
The Daniela Skin is new, and it’s lovely! Very fresh faced looking. I opted for the Porcelain Tone, but you can also get Light, Medium, Olive, Tan, Deep Tan, Deep and Ebony. I liked this one because it’s just so hauntingly pretty! Each skin comes with 2 base skins, one with and one without eyebrows; shape, eyes, freckles, blush, 8 lip colours, 8 eyeshadows and 8 eyebrow tattoos, not to mention 5 lashes/liners! All in a neat little package for under $L1k!… it’s a very nice skin for a very reasonable price, and not only can you choose from theses, there are also a few “looks” too! They are $L299 (I think) each and come with skin, shape, eyes and 6 extras on tattoo layers, all of them vary, I picked up one and will most likely go back for the others!!
Above you can see the bare skin with no frills in the larger picture, then all 16 tattoo layers combined with a random freckle tatt here and a random blush tatt there, there are some gorgeous nudes, pretty peaches and even a pillar box red and precious pink in there too! Below you can see the 5 options of lashes and liners, I have worn them all individually, but of course you can mix and match! I recommend you TP on over and check it out!
For good measure I wanted to throw in a look that I was lounging around in ALL day, I am SO in love with Cracked Mirrors items from The Arcade, these footie pjs are just friggin adorable. My faves have to be the Unicorns, Sprinkles and of course, COW. I’m very thankful these babies didn’t come with attachable udders or I might of been tempted to look like a silly sausage for a while. I’m also wearing the fantastic new hair from Ploom! Nue is a cute half up do with a mesh daisy to top it off! The daisy isn’t attached, so you can always wear it without, i’m quite partial to it on, tho!

Happy Monday!
Not often you see me call Monday happy… but when you have new goodies, when ISN’T the day happy?!
A new round of FaMESHed has started and it is FULL to the brim with gorgeous goodies, this dress I am wearing whilst showcasing the new Diesel Works prop is D I V I N E! It comes in four colours, and I will be going back to get more than jus this one, for sure.. and it has spikes on the boobs, what more could a girl ask for?! Fanatik have done a wonderful job with it, also available is a new hair from Alice Project, it’s a longer style with a bit of a dreamy feel, so i felt with the prop and the hair, I had to wear one of my new Mesh Heads from Fashionably Dead that I got at The Arcade! It just seemed to fit.
The Nightingales Sorrow is one of two new props, there is also a Gold “Glee” one too, but I liked the darker looking one. It comes with a huge array of poses, all very moving and all seem to tell a tale. You will have to click through for the bigger picture to see them all reasonably well, but I can assure you, you won’t be disappointed if (when!!) you buy it. I absolutely adore it!! It really does match the head, doesn’t it?!
Also new from FaMESHed are these Tweed and Leather Jackets from Erratic, if there isn’t a colour here you like, you need your eyes testing! Whether you want a pure Black one, a bit of a girly Pink one or a bright Yellow one, I’m pretty sure there is something here for everyone. Some amazing mesh and texturing work from Erratic on these, and such a selection too! I wore mine with another Head from Fashionably Dead at The Arcade and a huge Truth Braid!
I’ve been trying to feature more furnishings lately, it’s something I do love, I just never think my pictures do the items justice, but I am going to try anyway. Prism, whom I featured yesterday, are here again today! This time with a few of the items from their Southern Living Set!
You can get an array of products, but I really love these two chairs, the padded seats look SO comfortable and everything is so well textured. They come in three colours and each one has a matching rug you can purchase too! Of course they are animated, so you won’t sink half way through the chair if you sit on it, you’ll look neat and tidy and like a lady (or a gent)
Matching Rocking Chairs are also available, and this gorgeous sideboard style chest seat thinger! Yeah, I am good with words. I said it yesterday, and I say it again, Prism is one of those stores where you are guaranteed to find SOMETHING you love, they cater for all tastes with a huge array of items. These items are quite “oldy worldy” in my opinion, something a little more refined, but how can you resist when they are so gorgeous?!
