My Favorite Bear

“There’s no bear like an old bear.” ~ Samantha Armstrong

I don’t know about you, but I have a Bear, a sweet soft bear that growls only once in a while, never at me, and just his existence makes me feel better about everything. Got him over three years ago but still keep him close because, let’s face it, those tender brown eyes are irreplaceable. I whisper my secrets into those sweet soft ears and hold him tight, and he gives me comfort and happiness.

Now I am not sure if you have a Bear, but certainly you can understand my attachment. This sweet bear from Sakuya Lane is one of the best I have found in SL, made of sculpties and special magic. And my bedtime outfit keeps my Bear happy. First my lingerie from Lisanna Lauria, one of her contributions to District 5 (which opens tomorrow!).  It is a system pieces that comes with appliers for the boobs and a butt if you have them. (In this case, I AM wearing boobs.) System clothes still exist and are still used in world and still can look fabulous. My stockings and shoes are from Gospel Voom, who includes his own stocking HUD and textures with this set. A little HUD work and silk covers my legs.

My hair is one of Truth Hawks’ newest, not for an event but simply sold at his store and darling as heck. It comes with little skelly hands, which I did not wear because, well, those would scare my Bear. My sultry skin is Sawsan Secretspy’s featured skin for District 5. Sawsan found herself in the middle of the Sin City portion of the event and has made a skin to match with seemingly innocent pink lipstick but sensuous eye makeup and a bod that won’t quit. Sometimes all a Bear wants is soft skin and warm hugs.

Smokin’

I am no more

a Boy Scout and, besides,
could never

put you out—you
keep me on

all day like an iron, out
of habit—

you threaten, brick-
house, to burn

all this down. You leave me
only a chimney.

~ From “Song of Smoke” by Kevin Young

A piece of a hot poem for a hot look. (Oh gosh I love this poem from Kevin Young.) I went over to the Dark Style and picked up some sexy items including this lingerie from Tatyana Ultsch, who includes appliers for top and bottom, though I only used the top on my mesh boobs from Riann Maltese. (I think my bottom is fine enough as is.) Sexy shoes from Promagic complete the look over Slink feet.

My skin is one of Shyla Diggs’ lovely makeup looks on Tricky Boucher’s base. Love the details of the body, especially that lovely butt and the hip bones. My hair is Mirja Mills’ beguiling retro style for My Attic.

If I am looking a bit more voluptuous, I am in this outfit. I think to balance a big top, a woman needs the bod to hold it all, including a bigger waist and bigger hips. This look is luscious and sexy and absolutely smokin’ without being exaggerated or cartoonish. (Hint: a little fullness to the belly and butt adds to the plush.)

…[Y]ou threaten, brick-
house, to burn

all this down….

Raspberry

Love is a fruit in season at all times, and within reach of every hand. ~ Mother Teresa

Today my favorite color is raspberry and that’s because of Ivy Burner’s sexy new lace dress she is featuring at The Big Show. With peekable lace all along the bodice (done skillfully on system layers) and an amazingly lined-up boob applier, this dress is great for elegance or dancing. The skirt is short but not too short, the decolletage is elegant  and perfect for featuring great cleavage. And jewelry—that too. My necklace is AvaGardner Kungler’s newest for L’Accessoires with huge gems suspended in metal cages. Di Hoorenbeek has come out with a series of Slink nail colors, and I have loved trying on the plain colors (not a lot of decoration, which I prefer oftentimes).

And I have to mention my shoes because GraceHaddington fought tooth and nail to get the mesh and then named them after me in honor of my birthday. With a HUD that allows 60 different Pantone colors that Grace borrowed from the latest New York Fashion Week palettes, the shoes are versatile and sexy when worn with the Slink high feet.

My skin is Aleida Rhode’s newest and comes with a compliment of lipsticks. She offers the skin with dark, light and no eyebrow options and the eye is deep set with a clean lid so you can add a makeup of your choosing. In this case, I added a liner from Stella Semaphore. My hair is a lovely half-up ‘do that MissAllSunday Lemon is offering at FaMESHed. The look has the piquancy of fresh raspberries—not too sweet.

Alien

“If you every look at the sky, doubting the existence of other worlds, just know that somewhere a creature looks up at its sky, doubting you.” ~ Welcome To Night Vale

I have been feeling a bit alien lately. First of all, I have a horrible cold and I am heavily medicated. And then I have been playing with a new set of skins from Galathir Darkstone. First let me point out a sexy ensemble from Ivy Burner, this webbed bikini that includes appliers for several busts and booty that she is offering at Bewbapalooza. (There is part of me opposed to even mentioning the name of the event, but in all fairness to Ivy, I must.) I wanted to wear this see through look so you could see Galathir’s gorgeous skin.

The skins have beautiful textures and subtle shadows. I chose a pretty tame one here—there is a gorgeous blue and pink skin, one that is yellow and green, another that is dark drow and several others. They sound more garish than they are—the shading is really lovely. If you want a fantasy skin that makes you a walking piece of art, this would be the skin.

What makes the skins really a value is that Galathir includes appliers for *everything* you could throw at him—Slink feet and hands, the Loud Mouth, the Phat Azz, Tango breasts (though I was able to wear Lush and it worked fine), his own tail, ears and genitals. I opted to wear hands, feet and boobs so you could see how well they blend with his appliers and I was able to do it all from ONE hud. Whew! (And with such a fine ass on the skin, who needs more mesh there?)

I nosed around Cruella Pennella’s store to find an awesome ‘do, and found this short cut that is sassy and sexy with great textures. Abraxxa Anatine is offering cat eyes for spooky looks (she isn’t just limited to jewelry). And I loved these elaborate jeweled earrings from AvaGardner Kungler, which are her offering at L’Accessoire.

“The only thing that scares me more than space aliens is the idea that there aren’t any space aliens. We can’t be the best that creation has to offer. I pray we’re not all there is. If so, we’re in big trouble.” ~ Ellen DeGeneres
