Where are they?

Whoops

Anyone who knows Zsa, will be aware that she has a bit of a house obsession in sl, and is forever changing homes.  So when I saw this set from Reina Photography I just had to use it.   Zsa actually thinks I have arranged for removal men to help her unpack but I forgot, and they just dropped her boxes outside her new front door.  Whoops, sorry Zsa🤭.

At least she looks good

Zsa's gorgeous blouse is brand new from Just Because at Uber, as is her earring and necklace set from Cae.  The blouse comes in a beautiful selection of colours, a separate print pack and a fatpack which includes both plains and prints.  The choice of prints is wonderful, making it very hard for this Libran to decide which to wear.  There is also a hud included to change the colour of the strings and toggle them on and off.

Zsa's pants are a brand new mainstore release from Blueberry, and come in the usual cutibootie and Blueberrybootie choices, and a huge variety of denim and leather options.  I particularly love the creasing on these, so realistic and easy to wear.

Zsa is wearing:

Body:   Maitreya ~ Lara
Head:   LeLutka ~ Chloe
Skin:   Pink Fuel ~ Anja
Hair:  Limerence ~ Bree
Eyes:  Avi-Glam ~ Solstice

All that Glitters

The dress I am showing you part of is from Just Because for Fameshed and comes with a glitter and solid one in each colour.  The necklace from my set, also available at Fameshed, comes with one of Cae's great huds giving you not only loads of texture change options but also allows you to hide any of the necklaces so it fits easily into any outfit.

Ophidiophilia

Today I am wearing another fabulous creation from Annie Melson of Just Because, and wow, wow, wow.  Annie has created a simply stunning gown that gives you curves a screen siren would be jealous of, and then topped it with a snake slinking it's way round the bodice.  Not just any old snake either, a texture change snake, so you can match, blend or contrast your snake to your gown, or your hair, or eyes, as you wish.  I will wear it next time I go out dancing, and I am sure it will turn many heads - and maybe send any Ophidiophobics running for the nearest exit, whoops.

Practice

Real life has kept me away from my blog for the longest time since I started blogging, but here I am again, and with a whole heap of new stuff to share.

My dress and boots are both from Just Because for Uber - the dress comes with a scarf which I am not wearing here, but both are available in the gorgeous Just Because palette.  The boots are also available separately at Uber - I have never seen footwear from Annie Melson before and all I can say is that I hope she does more.  They are so easy to wear and come in her extensive palette with plenty of options to customise via hud.  

 I didn't wear the scarf because I wanted to show off this pretty necklace from Cae for FaMESHed.  Unfortunately you cant see the earrings but I have given a closer look at the necklace.

My freckles are by La Boheme, and my eyes, lips and manicure are all from different designers at the current round of Applique.  

My first pose comes from the Nantra set currently at The Liaison Collaborative, and are actually skating poses but I didn't trust Zsa on the ice, so made her practice on the soft snow first.  Wise move as she spent more time on her bum than she did standing.

Oh, quick mention, Lumipro have released their 2017 update and it is amazing - I didn't think they could improve on it but they have.  I can say honestly that I can't imagine blogging without my Lumipro hud now.

Candy

My outfit today comprises separate bodysuit, leggings and straps by Just Because.  It is a brand new mainstore release, and comes in solid colours as well as 4 skeletons.  I couldn't resist this skeleton one, and have been wearing this since the moment I first put it on!  This is quite a change from Annie Melson's normal style, but as always it is a fabulous piece of mesh with great textures bringing it to life, and it is such fun to wear.

My lipstick and eyeshadow/eyeliner combo are both at the current round of Applique.  This is a new to me event, but as a lover of all kinds of appliers for mesh heads it is just perfect for me - not only lots of pretty stuff to play with, but also introducing me to new designers such as the ones whose makeup I am wearing here.  I should mention that they do applier clothing as well as everything you can think of for the mesh head lover.  

My poses and the skeleton stool are both from Nantra for Candy Fair which finishes tomorrow, so if you want it, you need to hurry.  It comes with 12 poses and 12 sweetie props, but I have chosen not to use it in the pic above (actually, I couldn't, because Zsa ate it).

London Lights

Today's post brings together items from Season's Story and We Love Roleplay plus a new mainstore release.

My dress and bolero set are a new mainstore release from Just Because.  Stupidly, I forgot to show you the dress without the bolero, but when you demo it, try it both ways and you will see how versatile it is.  Of course, it goes without saying (but I'm going to anyway!) that the mesh fits my Lara absolutely like a dream, and the textures are just perfect.  I love the way the asymmetrical pulled hem and string give the dress a really unusual outline.  Thankfully the dress comes with intrinsic panties to spare our blushes, and you can change them, the string and the buttons via hud. 

My hair from KoKoLoReS comes with two options - the plain hair above and the one shown below, with autumnal leaves.  The lovely Sisch FIrecaster is creating up a storm at the moment with lots of great new styles for various events, and I am sure I will be sharing more very soon.  My lip and eye make-up are just two of the many items La Boheme has available for just 50L at We Love to Roleplay.  These prices are only for the duration of the event.

Say Cheese

I am going to make this a quickie post as rl got in the way of blogging last month, so I have a lot to catch up on.  Not only a quickie, but a blog post with just one photo, can you believe it!

My sweatpants are a brand new release from Just Because for FaMESHed, and they are simply perfect, they fit like a dream to my Maitreya Lara, and of course they come in Annie's great choice of colours.  You can of course buy the fatpack, but even with an individual colour pack, you get a hud so you can change the string at the front.  

My hair is from Wasabi Pills for Fifty Linden Friday - it isn't available at the special price now, but it is such a pretty"do" that it is well worth paying full price for it.

Today's very belated (due to rl stuff) post brings together items from Uber, N21, One Word, Inspiration SL and Cosmopolitan.  This includes new dress, new hair, new eyes, new eyeshadow and new shoes.

Yet again Annie Melson has pulled it out of the bag - this dress is sheer perfection right down to the smallest detail - the zip, the folds and creases, all make for an incredibly realistic, beautifully crafted piece of mesh.  It is available in Annie's gorgeous palette, and comes with intrinsic panties which you can switch on or off (I recommend on, particularly if you fly round sl most of the time like I do!).  You can find this dress exclusively at Uber.

My poses are from a new set by Nantra for OneWord, it includes 6 posts plus mirrors and I thought I would show you a few. 

My gorgeous eyes are from a new set released by Avi-Glam for Cosmopolitan.  I have loved Avi-Glam eyes since the moment I found them, and am always amazed at how Kendra Parfort can top the last release, but this new Serene range is even better than her previous releases!  I have added the advert pics so you can see their gorgeousness close to.

#530 ZsaZsa finds the light

Today I bring you brand new releases from Mesh Body Addicts, Hairology, The Makeover Room, Cosmopolitan and The Crossroads.

The eagle eyed amongst you might have noticed something different about my previous two posts.  To be honest, I didn't expect anyone to notice anything, but then I got a message from my friend Tin: "OMG I am looooving your most recent photos look 528 and 529!!!  What is different???? Shadows?  You are definitely doing something different!"  

That difference is, quite simply that I have taken my Lumipro out of it's box again.  I only used it a bit last year because of stuff I was going through in real life which made it hard to concentrate on new things.  So, I am basically back to square one, a complete noob.  I have been watching videos and practicing, practicing, practicing, getting frustrated with myself, then practicing some more.   

I hate asking for help, I like to find my own solutions, so wasted two whole days on my platform.  I couldn't get the lights to work, going over and over it step by step again and again, logging off in frustration, then logging back in to try again.  Just after I finally gave in and asked for help, I found it - the lights are attached to the model, me in this case, so if you don't check "display attached lights" you ain't gonna see em!  As a side note, the customer support from Samantha at Lumipro is fantastic.

This is the reason that this post is about 4 days later than it should be.  After Tin's IM I l compared the pics on my last two posts, and the previous ones and Tin was so right, all I could think of the older ones was "ugh, flat".  So it is Lumipro all the way now - please bear with me while I learn!

Onto the outfit - my top is brand new from Just Because for Mesh Body Addicts.  This corset style top is absolute perfection, coming in Annie Melson's gorgeous palette of colours, and beautifully hugging the curves of my Maitreya Lara.  It comes with a texture change hud allowing you to change the colour of the beads.  I think this top would be wonderful as part of a long gown - hint, hint, Annie!  Anyway, I am not going to blah blah any more, there is enough text here already, so I will just say that a lot of other items I am showing you are also brand new at various events, all details below.
