I’m lit up
Approaching midnight
I try to fight it
I can’t deny it
It’s taking over me

~ “Lit Up” by Jean Tonique

I donned this dress from Unitedcolorsteam for the Mesh Body Addicts Fair, clicked in the sexy taupe color and dark metal harness and medallions and I was lit up and ready to go out. It fits my new Belleza Isis body perfectly. I applied Zozicon’s sexy nail polish for the Mesh Body Addicts Fair to match. With sexy lace-up boots from TomClaney and a graphic bracelet from Marcopol Oh for Shiny Shabby, I went over to Elysion and lit myself up on the stage there.

I am wearing Catwa Clip’s Destiny mesh head again. I promise I will change soon but this skin from Deesselle Destiny looks so perfect. I simply clicked and applied and then got the applier for the Belleza body. Shylah Honey made this gorgeous tumble of curls and waves for this round of Fameshed and with this particular texture, it’s gorgeous.

You may not have a car at all
But just remember brothers and sisters
You can still stand tall
Just be thankful for what you’ve got

~ “Be Thankful For What You Got” by Massive Attack

I want to say up front, “Thank you, Syn Beresford, for letting people rez at Elysion.” I keep going back again and again to take photos because Syn, a graphic designer in RL, has such a great eye for spaces, and I want to take photos all over her sim! ROMP has just opened and while some of the stuff there pushes the limits, you will also find some great fashions. Check out this sexy outfit from Aikeo Rieko, which includes a top and skirt. Aikeo is a goddess with colors, combining things to create sexy looks, like this wine complimented with a dark plum. I accessorized with gladiator-style heels from Senzati0n Domenitzo for the Black Fashion Fair. And my cuffs are truly functional cuffs, part of a beautifully elaborate collar set from Titsuki Yuitza for ROMP, scripted to include a leash. I wear just the gorgeous cuffs here.

Nicole Button has made a fabulous skin set for the Logo head and how sexy is it? I am glad she did because her skins are sophisticated and sensuous, with full luscious lips, and honestly, I needed to get this Logo head back on. The expressions are the best of the mesh heads. Not a lot of people realize, but the eyes and mouths are independent of each other so you can click eyes on one set and the mouth on another to combine expressions. I did that with this look. My hair is MissAllSunday Lemon’s beautiful look for Hairology, a very loose almost-braid over one shoulder.

I leave the door ajar
so that sometime it might
tempt you to try.

~ Traditional Flamenco

Sands Leavitt pulled a double whammy recently with a sexy outfit at Uber and a great corset at We <3 RP. I decided to mix n match the two for this stunning look. Since Sands is a game artist anyway, he gets “materials” in SL and has included the feature with his mesh pieces, which you can see from the lights bouncing off the leather of the corset and jeans. (I took my photos at the beautiful Elysion and you can see a red lamp’s light on my hip and another light on my backside, diffused on the leather texture.) The corset comes in two pieces so if you wish to forgo the top part, you can have a single sexy corset for your look. I accessorized with ankle boots from Glamistry and the gorgeous geometric gacha jewelry Mea Carnell has out for Gacha Guardians. The 100 Block is opening on April 9 and Zozicon has great nail appliers for Matreya, Omega and Slink available.

Umazuma Metaluna is releasing this smokey-eyed skin at Collabor88 this round and once again, I am blown away by the beauty of the features and the sexiness of the makeup. I admit I tinted the lip a little using the Catwa hud colors and blending it so I had a deeper lip. My mysterious eyes are Uma’s feature for The Chapter Four. I have been waiting for new eyes from her and I am not disappointed! Mirja Mills has made this lovely braid with wisps that float about the face for Hairology, which is opening April 10. It’s almost, but not quite, a Lara Croft look.

Trouble seems to find me but what can I do?
Maybe that’s because I learned from you.

You’re a freak….

~ “Freak” by Shana Halligan

I went over to the beautiful Elysion to take photos of this fabulous new dress from Flutter Memel. Available with three different color choice HUDs, the dress has a great look and fit. I loved wearing it with Maxi Gossamer’s elegant jewelry for Collabor88, which includes its own clickable color change gems and metals.

I am ashamed to say, however, I needed to fulfill my mission of blogging every one of the KittyCats & Friends Advent Calendar gifts, so I snuck on to Elysion wearing Piraiyah Novikov’s gift for today, these adorable monster slippers. If you have ever seen Pira’s avatar in world, you will see that these slippers make total sense. I did match the dress to the slippers, yes. I had to because it’s very important. I am a freak.

The other big news of today’s blog entry is the new mesh head from LeLutka named Simone. With an elegant face, fuller lips and high cheekbones, this should get a lot of ladies interested in updating their look. They have also refined the HUD a bit more with additional mouth expressions and eyes that can be changed to accompany smiles or frowns. I wore Monicuzza Babenco’s gorgeous new applier exclusive for Shiny Shabby on the head to show the beauty of its shape. Tabata Jewell’s stylish hair for Shiny Shabby is my up-do of choice, lending an elegance and sleekness to my look.

I’d Like You for Christmas–KittyCatS & Friends Advent Calendar, Day 12

I’d like you for Christmas
Please make my wish come true
Cos I’d trim trees and deck the hallways
If I know you’d be mine for always

~ “I’d Like You for Christmas” by Julie London

Some of my most romantic moments have occurred during the holidays. Maybe more are to come. That’s why it’s great that Erratic Rain came out with this absolutely drop-dead set of lingerie just in time for the holidays. With bra, panties, corset, stockings, and thong, it allows for lots of mix and match looks without the over-the-top showgirl look of a lot of lingerie. And it fits perfectly to the Maitreya body. I accessorized with Senzati0n Domenitzo’s fabulous pumps and the gorgeous earrings that Mirja Mills is giving as today’s gift in the KittyCats & Friends Advent Calendar. Lots of people know Mirja for her hair, but she also does other mesh creations, especially intricate jewelry, so it’s a privilege to receive these earrings as a gift.

Umazuma Metaluna has come out with a set of sexy appliers for the LeLutka mesh heads for Collabor88, so I opted for the luscious toffee tone and enjoyed finding a most kissable expression on the head with the new Expressions feature. Thora Charron has created a line of animated hairs under the “Swish” sublabel and a lock of my hair in front moved slightly in a breeze. Astralia is offering this mistletoe hair piece at Christmas on 34th Street, a giftable set that you might give to a friend as a hint or wear yourself to gin up some romance for your holiday. Mr. Beresford was much inclined when he saw it on me.

I took my photos at Elysion, which is a picture perfect sim because Syn Beresford (distantly related cousin, yes—talent clearly runs in the family) has created an adult atmosphere that includes beautiful dreamlike spaces and rollicking parties on the weekends. I am including a photo of the touching display Syn has built for the victims in Paris, a reminder to all of us that SL is entwined with RL, and we are all part of a bigger global community.

The Look of Love

The look of love is in your eyes
A look your smile can’t disguise
The look of love is saying so much more than just words could ever say
And what my heart has heard, well it takes my breath away

~ “The Look of Love” as performed by Diana Krall

As the whole grid universe knows, Siddean Munro came out with a mesh body for men, so of course, I dragged my alt out and got him set up with a body and a smokin’ skin from Reishiprophet. Of course, then I had to show him off a bit, so staged these photos at Elysion and dressed up for a romantic interlude—with myself. Of course, I had to be sexy as all get out so I donned the new lingerie from Erratic Rain for Collabor88, fitted perfectly to the Maitreya mesh body with hardly a pixel between me and its sexy leather. Since it includes cuffs and a gold chain harness, I didn’t need jewelry but these new shoes from Senzati0n Domenitzo were a perfect match with their single buckle and stiletto heels.

Aleida Rhode will be coming out with a new skin soon and allowed me a preview, which I wore and fell in love with. (Hence, my “look of love.”) It will come with appliers for everything and you can see how amazing it looks on the Maitreya body. My assymmetric long do is courtesy of Kavar Cleanslate for Collabor88. With a kajillion color options, you can find the look you love.
