#248 Raising a hat to cooler weather!

 No I haven't disappeared off the edge of the earth, but my poor old pc and I had to take a break  as neither of us deal with the heat very well, and the last week has been unbearable.  So, first waft of cool air and me and pc are back on the blogging trail.

The prop I am using today is from WetCat and comes with 8 poses plus the hat which rezzes at the appropriate place for each pose (and can be adjusted if necessary)

This gorgeous jumpsuit is from Cracked Mirror (CM) , comes in 5 standard sizes plus fitmesh which I am wearing here - and I was thrilled at how it fit like a dream right away - fitted mesh has definitely come a long way!

My skin is Claudia, the brand new full release from Belleza, and she is stunning.  I did a little happy dance when I saw that there were two shades of red eyebrow in each makeup.  I am wearing the light, plus the optional freckles layer.

My shoes are new from [LG] K-Collection and as always they have done a fantastic texturing job.  The Hud that comes with it gives you the choice of 10 main textures, 4 heel/platform textures and 2 inner sole textures

#238 Rhapsody in the key of Punk

I had such fun creating this post using some goodies from the fabulous Rhapsody event which is on now  If you love music as much as I do, you really don't want to miss this event.  There is a genre for every taste - even disco (shudders slightly) - but unless I have a personality change overnight there ain't gonna be no disco on this blog!

I have really loved the last few releases from MINA, but this is by far my favourite.  I have a weakness for punky spiky and shaved hair in sl, and I had a look round Rhapsody for something to wear with the hair and found this great skirt and suspender (braces to us Brits) set from Cracked Mirror, and a torn top to go with it.  Both come in standard sizing plus fitted mesh, and you have an array of colours to choose from.  My jewellery and jacket are old faithfuls from my inventory, and my boots are fairly new from Ducknipple and come with a texture change hud for the socks.

There will be more posts to follow from Rhapsody, I can't remember when I last got so excited about an event.  I love that there is a bit of everything - clothing, body, poses, home and garden, but all within the music theme of the particular genre.

Twisted Color Challenge - Week 27, Cabbage Patch Forest (aka "The Schoolmarm"

“No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn” 

Hal Borland

On my trawl/stalk through sl blogs, I found out about the Twisted Color Challenge, and thought I would jump in and give it a go, even though this week's "Cabbage Patch Forest" is a bit of a tough one for someone who rates green only behind orange in my most disliked colours.  Anyway here is my effort, and when you see the pics, you will understand why I have subtitled this post :).

It is the irresistible lure of fat packs (even though I KNOW I will never wear all colours) that meant I had this outfit in my inventory - I bought the fatpack of this Cracked Mirror set at FaMESHed sometime last year, and not surprisingly (to me), the green has never seen light of day till now

.

The outfit itself is beautifully made, with the subtle creasing making it look very realistic.

I have no idea why I am wearing two "lippies", obviously having a mad "add" instead of "wear" day.  I actually had to do this shoot twice as I also realised I had two pairs of earrings on when I came to fill in the credits, and when I looked closely, there was no way I could get away with that!  

Well actually this was the third shoot, I did a whole shoot in an entirely different outfit yesterday but decided I hated it and binned the whole lot.  I blame green!
