Osakki: Pacific Crisis - Hope for Japan

When tragedy strikes, many folks in SL step up and try to raise funds to help those affected.  Many designers and creators got together to participate in the Pacific Crisis Fundraiser (http://slurl.com/secondlife/World%20of%20Beauty/205/147/1003), and started an effort to help aid victims of the earthquake/tsunami/nuclear crisis that recently devastated the people of Japan. 

One of the many amazing outfits I've come across is the Maki Dress by Osakki.  Shopping is fun, but shopping to help raise money for an amazing relief effort is sensational.
 

Dress:  Osakki // Pacific Crisis Fundraiser - Maki Dress for Japan
Shoes:  Stiletto Moody Pinup (Badseed Red Patent) v3.01
Hair:  fri.day - Jasmine.2
Skin:  Redgrave:  Tan Skin -Chloe

Stop by the Pacific Crisis Fundraiser sim, or you can grab this dress at the Osakki mainstore.

Wooot for Kyoot!

Kyoot's 50 L sale offers this Ground Beneath Your Feet spring dress. Normally I do not like sculpty skirts, but this one works. Maybe if we wear spring clothes, winter will take the hint and take a hike - a very long one. Jewelry from Addiction.

Meet Me In My Boudoir....

I have NO idea where I got this landmark from.  But.  I'm really glad I was inventory sorting and found it. 

Boudoir is the newest addition to my long list of shopping addictions.

I love, love, LOVE..themed outfits.  From Britney Spears to Beyonce..I own a ton of pop culture inspired outfits.  Well, when I popped into the store and found this..I HAD to buy it.

The movie Black Swan is CREEPY.  But it's a beautiful and alluring kind of creepy. 

Skin:  [FC] Nina//BlackSwanRED/FhangCandy (Sold at Boudoir)
Outfit:  Boudoir:  Black Swan Ballerina dress

My ONLY complaint about this outfit, is that the tiara in the promo isn't included.  Of course, as an inventory queen, I had a few in my inventory to spare.

But I love the overall outfit..the skin was pretty..and it just felt like a great replica of the movie costume.

But they don't just sell the Black Swan outfit.  They also sell these amazingly detailed dresses.

Dress:  Boudoir:  Black plisse couture
Skin:  LAQ:  Martina
Hair:  Boudoir:  Irena Hair:  Black

So, if you need a unique dress..this is absolutely the store for you.

T Junction Rocks.

Okay, I've been mourning since the closing of Crash Couture sometime in 2010, but I've finally found a suitable snarky tee vendor to take their place in my SLeart. Enter T Junction. It's pretty great, and you can even make out most of the designs, but for the boobage. Check it out, immediately!

Oh LAQ.....

Is there anything Laqroki doesn't make?  They make amazing skins, hair designed to match..clothing..shoes - it's enough to make your head spin.

Every time someone asks me what skin I'm wearing..it's usually one of my LAQ skins. 

And yes, I said ONE of.  Because I have a skin addiction from LAQ.  I'm a fan of the Nougat shades..usually the lighter lips.

The skins are so soft and classic..and I love that the skins are available in so many tones!

How Exciting..

The hardest part of being so old in SL is watching some of your favorite stores clothes down.  Very few stores withstand the test of time and stay solid in SL, but when you get wind of relaunchings and re-openings..it's just so exciting. 

Squeal with me.

Go Purple Today!

Today is Global Epilepsy Awareness Day! In honor of this day, the color purple is being used for a variety of things. One event for Epilepsy Awareness Day is "The Great Purple Cupcake Project". Bakeries around the country (here in NYC, I've seen it at Magnolia Bakery - http://www.magnoliabakery.com/) have put out special cupcakes decorated in purple frosting..with purple glitter..purple flowers..and proceeds are donated to the Anita Kaufmann Foundation (http://www.akfus.org/).

If your local bakery hasn't participated, you can still show your support by wearing purple and, if you can, donating to the epilepsy charity of your choice. One I've used is The Epilepsy Foundation (http://www.epilepsyfoundation.org/). And if you have the time, why not whip up some cupcakes decorated with purple frosting..or heck, even some purple cupcakes - and share them with your friends and family?

:) I've got mine!

Dress: MichaMi: Kat in Pink Purple (http://slurl.com/secondlife/Copley%20Square/179/128/24)
Boots: Stiletto Moody: Black Croc (http://slurl.com/secondlife/Stiletto%20Moody/160/234/46)
Necklace: Earthstones: Power Crystal - Sugilite (http://slurl.com/secondlife/EarthBound/165/138/23)
Cupcake from: 4Kittens of the Apocalypse - Giant cupcake! (purple frosting) (http://slurl.com/secondlife/Penning/74/109/78)

It isn't what you have in your pocket that makes you thankful....

but what you have in your heart.

Happy shopping!

I'm Baaaaaaaaaack!

Get it? Black SHEEP Fashion Diaries and "Baaaaaaaaaack?" Ok - never mind - on to the important thing in SL life - fashion.

First up is this Spirals in Silver set from Addiction Jewelry. The details in Atiya Masala's work are done with care and class. I am in her creations most days.

She has the set on special for $165 L, so you need to hurry to Addiction Jewelry before it moves to full price. http://slurl.com/secondlife/Jewellery/205/127/38
