Second Life against my finds!

Together with RL commitments, Second Life is trying to kill me. I had been planning a post about some interesting deals, but this evil game first ate 10k items from my inventory, then didn't rezz textures in whatever place I went to take pics, and in the end decided not to attach and detach stuff. I logged off with an awful headache and with only a couple of poor pics, a small part of what I had in my mind. Hopefully I'll show you something more tomorrow, if the deals are still there and the game's performances go back to a decent level.

Mishio Zuzu, designer of The Candary, a very interesting new store (to me at least), dropped on me her opening deal and the awesome gown she is selling. Her work really hit me, I appreciated a lot the softness of the skirts and the flexi is amazing. I felt like a butterfly or a mermaid while wearing her beautiful dresses.

Also, a new pose store is on the grid! It's Bent! by Catherine Fairport, she is selling very beautiful and artistic poses for super cheap prices, I wouldn't miss the chance to have a look at her store!

Last but not least, Calico Ingmann Creations is having 4 hairstyles 50% off this week (till Sunday), it means 100L the pack. You can go for a colour pack or, as I did, you can get the Calico's Picks pack, that is a sort of fatpack with the best of each colour according to the designer. I bought 3 of the 4 styles, but SL let me wear only one!

Let's go to the (poor) pics!

Dress: The Candary - Allure Cocktail Dress Nude - 50L opening gift
Hair: Calico Ingmann Creations - Isabel 1 - 100L the pack

Dress: The Candary - Adrianna Gown Pink - 500L, other shades available, all very beautiful!

Poses: Bent!

Thank you very much, designers!

Al Vulo! - Nikita Fride

Lately the charity events, for very good reasons anyway, ate all my blogging powers.
But it's time to go back to my usual activity, and today I want to feature two generous and talented, in very different ways, designers.

Besides the black&white pic, no image is postprocessed except for cropping, pasting, adding text and softening sharp edges. Skins have been photographed using the Windlight setting "Nam's optimal skin 2"

Al Vulo! recently released a beautiful skin called Lalli, that I'm showing you in milk and sunkissed tones, all make ups. Each come with and without cleavage, with blonde eyebrows and hairbase, as well as tattoo layers for brown eyebrows and hairbase and eyeshadows. A specific shape, that I'm not wearing, is available too.

Nikita Fride has launched an awesome serie of peculiar skins inspired to the sins, with matching hair and tattoos.

Furthermore, she also released some awesome lashes I immediately fell in love with! Have a look!

1)Long Eyelashes Indulgence 2) Long Eyelashes Bliss
3)Long Eyelashes Jewels 4) Long Eyelashes Rainbow
5)Long Eyelashes Vengeance 6) Long Eyelashes Vengeance (bottom decorated)

Thanks a lot Hlin and Nikita!

CHIC Limited Event - March [ Part 1 ]

CHIC Limited is a monthly event brought to you by Keira Seerose, CHIC Management.

It is a small venue containing 30 brands (or less) per cycle.

Each cycle has a theme for designers to be inspired by,

but they can interpret the prompt as loosely or closely as they choose.

 CHIC Limited was created to offer a much asked for alternative to the current sales culture.

Many designers felt they were unable to opt out of sales groups,

hunts and events because they could not compete without the level of publicity they gave them.

CHIC Limited is using the generated reputation of working with high quality brands to offer brands

an opportunity to get the publicity of an event, without having to reduce their prices.

This session opened March 12th and will close March 26th.

The theme is “The Elements“.

Happy Birthday Italy & Pacific Crisis Fundraiser

Today Italy celebrates the 150th anniversary of its unification.

A famous Italian architect, Renzo Piano, recently said "we are dwarves on a giant's shoulders." and I totally agree with him. We must be proud of our art, language and our culture, but those giants are dead. Now we have to deal daily with all the dwarves who are making Italy the tail ender of Europe. These vulgar, close-minded and rude dwarves are showing a distorted reality to the rest of the world. We are not like them. Believe me.

There are also some dwarves who think they would be better if Italy wasn't united. You are anachronistic. In the Internet era, more than ever we are citizens of the world, and so we should feel. Don't go back to Middle Age and grow up.

Olela, one of the most famous Italian bloggers, shared with us a great video that unfortunately is not subbed in English (it's something we should do, sharing the few giants left we have with the rest of the world) and pointed an Italian pride gift offered by an Italian designer. Check it out and if you have ever heard about Dante Alighieri, watched "Life is beautiful" or just eaten pizza or Nutella, think of us and celebrate too.



I won't forget, as I was saying earlier, we are citizens of the world.
At the other side of the world, an awful disaster occurred, or better is still occurring. Once again Second Life community is showing its support.
Japan is a country very dear to me, I am in love with Japanese culture to the point I made it my major at university. Even though, as someone said, Japan is a rich nation, those who suffer, die or lose people they love, deserve our solidariety, no matter where are they from and what is the reason.
Thank you very much to the organizers and the designers who are offering their produts as donations at the Pacific Crisis Fundraiser.

Here's a look I put together with items purchased at the event, the biggest part with 100% of the proceeds going to the charity.

Skin: Glam Affair - Sakura Skin Natural 01 - 599L, 100% donation.
Hair: Exile - Sakura naturals (mink) - 200L, 100% donation
Jumper: Ibizarre - Leela Norge Jumper - 100L, 100% donation
Skirt: The Secret Store - Froufrou Onyx - 189L, 100% donation
Bangles: je suis... - je suis...asymetrique Red and White - exclusive colour for the event, 79L, 100% donation
Necklace and earrings: je suis... - je suis...douce bright - 390L, 50% donation.

The slurs should bring you right in front of the item. The place is crowded and lagged, so keep your ARC and scripts down. It's a bit claustrophobic, many designers wanted to be part of the project, but don't give up!
Visit the venue, there are so many items that it will be impossible not to find something to buy!
