Friends

 Helli and Selene have been friends for a few years now. I've borrowed Selene before for blogging. So needing a partner for the 3 pieces that were offered for Weekend sales at Over, I of course enlisted my friend.

If you haven't been to get 8f8 - Intertwined Spring yet, then you are really missing out. It is of course superb, with some of the best poses you will see. There is 9 singles poses and 8 couples poses. Get it at Anthem until 28Feb 2022, then at the store at Black Kite.

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.

Another post for the J & A Expo, this time featuring Wicca's Wardrobe. I love this Kosmima headpiece by Wicca, mostly because it is so adaptable. You can wear it for so many situations and match it to many outfits and looks with the colour change HUD. When I saw the new Vivian skirt and top also by Wicca's Wardrobe, available at We <3 Role-Play I knew exactly how I wanted to style both the headpiece and the skirt/top.

Night's Daughter

Like many others, I was reluctant to take up with the mesh heads as I love my own face, I have worked on it over many years, and mesh heads seemed to be a move toward homogeneity rather than individuality. But I bit the bullet mostly because of some of the amazing make-ups being made for mesh, like the eye-shadow by Elymode, and the lips by Mons that I have on here. Going fully mesh though brings another issue....finding that perfect skin that is compatible with both your mesh body, and mesh head. And brings your look closer to your non-mesh look.
One such Lelutka applier/skin is the one I have on here by YS&YS, and available at Shiny Shabby. The skin is gorgeous. I mean seriously lovely, and with an absolute heap of options in make-ups. But..it is expensive. At 1499L for the applier/skin, I had expected it would include other basic appliers for body/hands/feet. It doesn't. So if you also need a Maitreya Lara applier, and maybe SLINK hands/feet appliers, you need to add another 500L. And that is just one skintone. For me, that is just more than I can justify, which is sad as I was going to buy 2 more of the skintones.

As I am showcasing this eye-catching dress by Paper Moon available at The World Goth Fair. The dress is a smart black sheath dress with a striking contrast peplum available in 5 versions and has a colour change HUD. Goth or not, this dress is a great investment for parties/clubs, etc.

I've accessorised it with the very goth flavoured collar by Scrub, some ubiquitous fishnets by Bossie, and these very cool bracers by [sYs].
