Rune and Vela

For me, there is no other place to take the shot of Rune and Vela but at the magical Winter Region of Midwinter Calas. There are 4 sims and I can choose a sim with the least lag. The link is where you start, get important landmarks and tp out.

I chose the one nearest to the horse rezzer.

Here are Rune and Vela, the latest Xmas gifts from the generous ppl of Lelutka. I did not change a single thing except made Vela's head slightly smaller because it looked bigger than Rune. I didn't use the skins included.

I use ultra graphics and shared environment. I like how the shadows fell on them. Looks so romantic!

Everything they are wearing are from this Xmas Shop & Hop, old group gifts and hunts, and weekend sales. Sorry, I can't remember which ones, but hopefully, the list below will help.

Lady Luck

I've been walking around with my two rare Chinese Crested furbabies from Hextraordinary eversince I got them.

I got T-Bone on the first try. Pose is by Fashiowl. I like her poses coz they're filled with kookiness and if you're lucky, you can get them at affordable prices during the weekend event sales. She sometimes give away freebie poses too.

I was going for a retro 70's vibe and the turtleneck, big-belted mini and thigh-high boots are all from *COCO*.

The hair from Tram is not so retro, I know, but I like the messy, short style which gave off a youthful vibe.

At this time, I was still using Lelutka Simone Head and I just discovered how to use the BOM! I know, I am so late in that discovery and that bugs me but, I have been away from SL for almost a year except for a few minutes logins and I wasn't playing doll.

Well, now I am. I also found out that I could use my old system skins again, but who wants to use old, right? Time for shopping!

Anyway, I tested a lot of BOM skins which are essentially tattoo face skins without the tattoo body skins(this made me a bit upset coz that meant I had to buy a matching BODY BOM skin or a tattoo body skin too) I found [Mudskin] sold really affordable BOM skins. I liked their skin but a year ago, I found they don't have much choices for Lelutka skins but now they had 4 or 5 and I bought 3 of them! Above, Moon is wearing Hee Soo.

Then Lelutka updated their EVO Heads! I love their face animations! For the next 2 weeks I tested them off and on and it was a choice between Lake and Ryn. In the end I chose Lake for her strong and yet sweet features. Moon is wearing Palvin. Hair is from Lamb. Fauxfur jacket is from *COCO*.

Moon is wearing So Hee here. So Hee looks like Hee Soo's older sister. Top is from Erratic.

Here, I use the Glam Affair skin which came with Lelutka Lake 2.5 and also matching body skin which came with the updated version of Maitreya 5.3! Hair is from Tram. Boots from Gos. Dress is a freebie from Belle Epoque Rezday hunt. GO! GO! GO! There's a lot of freebies there and a 50% sales too.

Finally, I got Pink Lady on my third try. My second was a rare T-Bone wanderer. And that's why I feel lucky!

Coming soon is another 10L modern house in which this pic is taken. Almost all of the decors are old stuffs and their shops are now closed.

PEACE!

One day in May

This month's Collorbor88 has a lot that I like although until today, I didn't have time to be in SL. So it was shopping day for me instead of building.

First up is the Misa skin from Glam Affair. Although it's for Lelutka Aida head, I find that it fits Simone too. Next is the hair from Tram. I bought the cute lace top from Tetra and matched it with the flared jeans from Tres Blah.

Then there's the very adorable country girl dress from Pixicat.

The sheep are from Jian and the hair is Seventeen from Lamb which I got from last month's Uber. It matches perfectly with this daisy print dress.

Avatar Challenge

Here are the 3 faces of Moon.

The Second Life Avatar Challenge by Strawberry Singh is fun. I like tweaking my avatar's features and see what I can come up with. In 3 months I will have been in SL 12 years! How time flies...

I'm using LeLutka Bento Head Simone, Maitreya Mesh Body and Mayfly Luminous Mesh Eyes in Dusky Hazel in all 3 pictures.

Skin

Before mesh heads, I used to have thousands of skins. Now I can count the skins I have on one hand.

My Simone Lelutka Mesh Head cannot wear some of the skins that I would love to buy and I just don't want to spent the time learning to use Omega or any of the other mesh heads from other mesh makers. The deciding factor, of course, is that mesh heads are a bit on the expensive side. So I decided that one head is all I need right now.

When I saw Maewe from Glam Affair at Uber, I was so in love with that face and joy oh joy, it was for Lelutka. I also took the chance to go for the darker skin #9 because for the longest time, Moon have been so pale and I felt it was time for a change.

I believe I made the right decision.

Hello Tuesday April1

For 50L Vs 50% Hello Tuesday, I'm putting out a semi-formal pencil dress and a simple sundress.

I named this pencil dress which Carter is wearing Amelia's Spring Oaks Tea Dress after the owner of the Amelia series houses that I build and I imagined this is the kind of dress she would wear to a spring tea party.
Moon gets to wear the youthful sundress with the pink velvet bodice and the cherry blossom print because she got tired of always wearing 'older' dresses everytime she posed with Carter.

on Carter:
hair: ::Exile:: Arihana: Extreme
eyes: Mayfly - Liquid Light Eyes (Bronze)
skin: -Glam Affair - Vera skin - America - FLF
dress: FOREVER SUMMER Amelia's Spring Oaks Tea Dress for Hello Tuesday

on Moon:
hair: **Dura-Girl**01(Gold)
eyes:
skin: ::DS:: Kendall. Mahogany.Bare (V) @ CSR
dress: FOREVER SUMMER Time for Cherry Blossom Dress for Hello Tuesday

Girls of Summer Hello Tuesday Mac25

For this Hello Tuesday, I celebrate the batik print which has come a long way from just being ethnic printed sarongs to modern prints made for dresses.

on Moon:
hair: AD - hop notch - blacks
skin: Glance Anais August
jewellery: Zaara : Atiriya set *aquamarine*
gown: FOREVER SUMMER Yellow Batik Spring Strapless Gown 50L for Hello Tuesday

on Carter:
hair: ::Exile:: Girls of Summer: Naturals
skin: -Glam Affair - Vera skin - America (past FLF)
dress: FOREVER SUMMER Blue Batik Swirl minidress 55L 50% off for Hello Tuesday

Winter Blush

This week's group gift gown from the White Armory is a beautiful silver laced ice-blue gown called Blush of Winter.
And I'm playing around with Moon's look. I had Snow White in mind. Lips as red as blood, skin as white as snow. Hair as black as night.

I started the look with Moon in black curly hair and that reminded me of fantasy but I resisted putting on elf's ears.

Moon looks sad.

Moon is wearing:
skin: Glam Affair - Candy skin - America 09
hair: ~Tableau Vivant~ Campbell hair - Winter
eyes: pc eyes - moon - espresso
headpiece: LaGyo_Aura headpiece gold

A high ponytail and fairer skin changed the look. She looks snooty.

Moon is wearing:
skin: -Belleza- Leila Arcade 3 RARE
hair: TRUTH HAIR Rocky -  variety ponytail high
eyes: pc eyes classic - warm light
jewellery: Zaara : Atiriya set *aquamarine*

Some gatcha items from the Arcade

I can't believe it's already Friday!

I finally made it into the Arcade. Things were rezzing very slowly, but because I knew what I wanted, I didn't need to see what was on the gatcha machine. I just needed to know where they were. Manouvering with the help of the mini map helps me not to bump into people although if there was lag, it doesn't work sometimes.

hair: Clawtooth: Heck on Wheels prize 7 (REZ AND OPEN)
skin: [theSkinnery] Alice 5 (toffee)
nightie: Tee*fy Aurora  Nightdress  Lavender
plushie: Tee*fy Lop Eared Bunny Plushie With Hat RARE
necklace: MG necklace Jazz Hands Frog Pink
pose: SYLVA'S Animation (very old item)

Here is the close-up of the skins I got for Moon at the Arcade:

-Belleza- Leila Arcade 2 RARE
Glam Affair - Candy skin - America 09
[theSkinnery] Alice 5 (toffee)

I think they all look great.  Leila makes Moon look youthful and mature at the same time while Candy is absolutely classy. It's those red lips of course. Alice is especially adorable because of the wide-eyed innocent stare and the slightly parted lips.

Have a good weekend!
