Tangerine

Tangerine – she is all they claim
With her eyes of night and lips as bright as flame
Tangerine – when she dances by
Senoritas stare and caballeros sigh

~ “Tangerine” as done by Frank Sinatra

The best part of living in SL is living like you are in the Lives of the Rich and Famous. Today I prepared for a dinner party out in my conservatory from Cory Edo for Uber, With tables and chairs Cory did for the same event (with a ton of great textures as you can see and wonderful poses, PG and Adult), I made my tables with a couple of Kaerri Rae’s great table settings and some wine. Sash Arabello has a great gacha at Shiny Shabby with pieces for the traveler including the rug I show and the pretty candles. Cube Republic is featuring the bonsai and hosta at Shiny Shabby as well.

For my dinner party, I wore one of Poulet Koenkamp’s new and sexy dresses, this one featured at her store, and accessorized with a little choker she has at the Chapter Four. I love that Poulet loves colorand  the geometric cutouts on this dress add a little interest. Fringed heels from Fhara Acacia for the Dressing Room include a color change HUD for different versions.

Kuranosuke Kamachi’s long sexy hair for Uber is a perfect accompaniment to this look. Sawsan Secretspy is featuring this skin applier at the Designer Circle and I am really impressed with how great it looks on the Catwa Destiny head (my favorite).

Mojo

“If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking.” ~ Steve Jobs

I was plowing along with blogs and then boom, hit some sort of wall. Trying to get my mojo back. The new leggings Erratic Rain has at Collabor88 does a little something for me with the tons of colors and the perfect fit. I like the ribbing on these leggings—warm for the coming winter but versatile with other tops. I chose Sash Arabello’s tank from the recently closed (?) Dressing Room Fusion. High platforms from Celena Galli, which she offers as an exclusive at Thrift Shop, are half off for the event and come with a great texture-change HUD for various parts of the shoes. I chose to wear Mea Carnell’s beautiful fantasy jewelry with this look to dress it up a bit.

Monicuzza Babenco has issued a collection of skins on one HUD for the Catwa mesh head that are absolutely gorgeous and evocative, showing the progression of a beautiful woman through youth to adulthood and maturity. The look is gorgeous at any age. I love the character and beauty of this skin on the head—making it so I don’t see the mesh head anymore but the visage of a woman with character. Quite a feat! Mina Nakamura is joining in the fun at Hairology with this simple look, a versatile hair for many ages.

So Good

Ooh, you make it so good
Baby, somethin’ about you

~ “So Good” by Beat Connection

I took a trip over to Elysion to get a cup of coffee and listen to the debates on CNN. While I nervously sip my coffee, I am trying to calm myself by breathing in the calming atmosphere on the sim and enjoy the music on the stream. I assembled a cute look from recent events. Start with Sash Arabello’s stop for the Dressing Room Fusion, a great find available in three colors at a rock bottom price. Then my plaid leggings from Flutter Memel are one of many colors and patterns she has Collabor88. Sexy platform boots from Senzati0n Domenitzo give some sex appeal to the look while applier fingerless knit gloves from Alaska Metropolitan at Anybody are a very inexpensive accessory.

I topped one of Thora Charron’s newest hairs with Aleida Rhode’s gift for gentlemen at her sim. It includes a HUD that allows one of four plaid patterns across two parts of the hat for mix and match and it’s resizable so not just girls can wear it. A sexy choker from Kreao Kujisawa for Romp includes Open Collar scripts but has a sort of costume jewelry appeal that makes it look like a pretty necklace. Sawsan Secretspy has come out with another lovely skin, this one for the SWANK event, and I reddened my lips with a deep red from Constance Daehlie’s makeups at AnyBody.
