Festive Silver

Whether you need a very special glam look that will turn heads for a Christmas Party or for your New Year's Party, you won't go very wrong with this super eye-catching outfit.
This slinky, and somewhat cheeky dress made by Reign comes in either long as worn here or short, and is available as a very cheap fatpack at Collabor88. With the side lacings, and scoop back you will certainly draw more than a few admiring glances.
Silver and Gold
Silver back
I paired it with the fantastic hair/helmet by Salt &Pepper available at We < Role-Play. And this stunning neck piece that comes in many options, and also has matching earring and cuffs by Haysuriza available at On9.

Santa Girl

Quick explanation into why I don't blog much any more.
Around 18 months ago I inexplicably went into chronic Atrial Fibrillation. Lots of tests later, it was found that my lungs weren't doing so well after lifelong asthma, and many serious bouts of bronchitis and pneumonia. I was put on a bunch of medications which then caused me to get medically induced diabetes a few months later. Fast forward another few months and I got sick with very severe Bronchial Pneumonia which saw me hospitalised for over a month. The damage to my already badly damaged lungs was serious. So serious it has me now in Asthma/Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (ACOS), which in turn has exacerbated my heart and also put me into Congestive Cardiac Failure (CCF).  The combination of these two and the Diabetes has left me in extremely poor health, with frequent hospital admissions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 I'm not a particularly Christmassy type girl but there has been a few Christmas things that have caught my eye so far this year. One of them being this very cute Santa Girl outfit that is a gacha at The Chapter Four this round. There is six colours, two of which are rares, and only for Maitreya bodies.

Hair Fair 2017 - Bandana Day

As anyone who knows me knows, I am a Hair Addict. I also LOVE Hair Fair and have not missed one since it's inception. I have also bugged Sasy Scarborough for years to let me blog Hair Fair. Well this year my dream came true and I am blogging Hair Fair. YAY!!!!
My very first task is to try to get as many of you as possible on board to make Bandanas for this extremely worthwhile cause. Need to hurry though as all submissions need to be in by June 14th 2017.


Bandana Day in Second Life, started in 2007, It’s a day we encourage people from all over SL to remove their hair and wear bandanas decorated by Residents (not just hair creators!) grid wide.

If you need a kit, please contact Sasy Scarborough. Or you can purchase it for 0L at Winx & Flair in world where you will also find the Hair Fair Subscribo, so you can keep up to date with all news. Please only use this kit for what it is intended for.
The Bandana’s in this Kit have been created by Mel Vanbeeck ,and are not to be used for anything other than Bandana Day Bandanas.
The idea is to decorate the bandanas provided with either a texture (textures must not have images or logos of RL products or copyright material) prims/sculpts/mesh, or both (NO HAIR) and return it full perms to CharitySasy String – Perms will be changed to No Copy and sold Mod/Transfer as we do every year, so people can buy for others.
We also encourage you to create a notecard that explains why you have decorated the bandana, as many people have their own stories as to why they support this cause. You do not have to do this, it is just something we will include in your bandanas box to share with the person that buys them.
All money from the sale of these bandanas will go to Wigs for Kids and will only be sold by the Hair Fair Committee at Hair Fair 2017. After the event the bandanas will be unavailable, so after Hair Fair there is no reason for you to keep these other than for personal wear, but we hope also that you will buy some for that.

More information is available here: Decorate a Bandana

Contemplation

It's been a long while since I've posted, mostly because I was away from SL for quite some time due to my failing health. I won't bore anyone with the details other than to say I have early stages respiratory failure due to complications. So sitting contemplating the direction my life may go, it seemed like a good title for a blog post. There has been a bunch of changes due to my health as far as SL goes, the main one being I no longer blog for anyone. Nor will I take on any commitment other than short stints, or single events.

This outfit just fell together over about a week or so starting with the really nicely done "Surrender" dress by Neve, at The Liaison Collaborative, and available in a 4 pack of either plains, or prints. I love the open drapiness of it, the lacing on the sides and the interesting back. Really perfect for so many occasions.
The next item that caught my eye is this really great "Zoya" hair that is the March group gift from Truth Hair. It's a lovely updo that has several ways to wear it as each of the bangs are separately added, and comes as a Fatpack. It costs 350L to join, but with a new pack monthly it is well worth it!
Contemplation

Next on my list was the "Venus" bracelet set by RealEvil Industries available at Tres Chic. Each of the different bracelets can be hidden so you can change which ones you wear at any given time. There is also a colour change menu with 6 metals, 6 leathers, and 6 accents to also add variety to your look.
To complete it, I chose [sYs]'s "Shibari" heels that will be available at Shoetopia. I fell in love with these and could not choose a colour pack, so bought the Fatpack. And it was so worth it. The shoe, and the straps each have their own colour control making it easy to mix/match. I know they will get plenty of wear from me as they will mix with so many styles of outfit, both eastern and western.
Contemplation 2

Lastly I want to mention the prop I am posing in. It is by 8f8, and as with anything by iBi it is fantastic. Called "No Place of Ours" it has been previously released in other versions, but this new release is Spring/Summer. It has poses for two people, and a couples pose as well. With a LI of just 14, it is really easy to find a spot for this.
