Fashionable Relay Challenge: Post Two
I swear to God I’ll stop sucking at blogging one day.
For those of you who have not yet heard of the Fashionable Relay Challenge, I expect you’re wondering what it is. Well, no better place to find out than Sasy Scarborough’s blog.
The lovely Sasy has passed the torch to me as the second relayer in this race for fashion extremities and eccentricities. I like that. Eccentric and extreme fashion. Rawr. Throw in a barrel of beer and some nuts, and we have ourselves a par-tay.
I know you’re all just DYING to know what I’m wearing here… so I’ll just cut to the chase and save the fluff for later. BUT! Don’t forget to click the picture above for a closer, more perv-worthy look.
Chosen Relay Item From Sasy’s Post (for fast reference): Maitreya’s Frenzy Heels in Green.
As always, we’ll start with the skin. I am wearing the most recent Redgrave (SLURL) release, Leona, in deep tan. I have never blogged about a Redgrave skin (and don’t worry, for time restraints, I won’t start now) but I truly love this skin. It’s very sophisticated and elegant, and holds all the quality that Redgrave promises in its products. I’m not the biggest fan of the deep tan color, I much prefer the lighter variations… however, this is my story, and I’m stickin’ to it: Redgrave Leona = skin whore lurve.
My hair was a recent acquirement, Apatia in Smoke color, created by the lovely, bubbly, beautiful Autumn Hykova of Pixel Dust (SLURL). This has actually quickly become one of my MOST favorite wigs, and my man’s pretty approving of it as well. Apparently my head is made for short hair, and he just adores it. Who’s to blame him? This hair completes my wannabe rocker chick look on my best of days, and my dressed-down, freshly rolled out of bed down days. Versatile and adorable. Just how I like it.
The eyes are one of my old favorites, having been in my inventory for quite some time: Miriel (SLURL) eyes in Sepia. Anyone that knows me, knows I’m very partial to light colored eyes. In fact, I very rarely, if ever, stray from my usual trademark grey eyes. But sometimes, when I feel like adding a little color to the stone gray eyes that sit in my sockets, I typically will put these babies in for some flavor. Eye color change on demand. Only in SL. Or Twilight.
My eyelashes are also something I’ve had in my inventory for a while, and probably my favoritestestest pair ever… Laqroki’s (SLURL) Dramatic lashes.
The glasses… now these are a treat. I bought the fat pack of these babies a little over a year ago now I believe, and I’ve yet to have the chance to wear them, but OH MY GOD, thank god for the two accessories requirement in this relay challenge, because now I had THE PERFECT opportunity to wear them. Artilleri (SLURL) Marla Glasses in Olive are so cute and sophisticate that they make me feel all… quirky. When I put them on, I automatically have visions of Starbucks, Mocha Lattes, and Macbook Pros. I simply adore them and the way they make my inner hipster start screaming for caffeine and cigarettes.
The earrings are available as a set or separately at EarthStones (SLURL). The Knotty Beads Earrings are just too cute for words, and the rest of the knotty beads sets are just as awesome. I have to own all of them by now. And if I don’t, I should. And you should too. A girl can never have too many beads. Coming from a native New Orleanian, trust me, I know. Though thankfully, these are beads you don’t have to flash your boobies for… though I’m sure no one would object. *ahem*
My stole is one of my more recent discoveries as well. Okay, maybe not TERRIBLY recent, but November/December-ish. Massimo (SLURL) created these damn awesome sculpted masterpieces, the Fringe Checkered Stole in Green (and many other colors), a ways back but they have got to be the gift that keeps on giving, because I could honest to god wear one with every outfit I could ever come up with. They’re so snuggly they make me wanna throw on a chunky sweater and curl up by a fireplace.
The Novocaine (SLURL) Genevieve Long Sweaters (this one is Melon color) are to die for, and belong in every Fashionista’s closet. The sculpted bottom is perfect for virtually any size and shape, and contours perfectly to the womanly hips every girl should have. The cute little bow at the waist (attached to the sculpted bottom part of the sweater) is the icing on the cake, really.
The bracelets I’m sporting in this cozy ensemble are from two of my favorite accesories places evar – Armidi Gisaci (SLURL) and Persona (SLURL). I know, I know. I told myself I wouldn’t blog anything Armidi, but I just couldn’t help it… I love Towanda Quintet Bangles in Gold. And Persona has got to make some of the cutest jewelry, and I was so happy to finally have a reason to wear the bronze Mighty Heart Bracelets that I just had to jump at it. Please don’t hate me.
These pants are a very new find for me… I bought them maybe a week ago. I’ve been DYING to find cute utility pants and Kenzie & Co’s (SLURL) Denim Utility Capris in Classic Wash are just perfect and I can’t tell you how happy I am to have bought them… in fact, I bought the whole shebang. William Hung be damned. Kenzie Craven be praised.
The tights are my absolute favorite piece of clothing this season. Seriously… I wear them constantly. Ask anyone that sees me on a regular basis, and they will tell you — I am rarely seen without the Leezu Baxter Designs (SLURL) Cat Tights (in Champagne above) these days. They’re just so cute, versatile, comfy, cozy, trendy and … 80s. As a product of the 80s, I simply adore them. And they come in SO MANY COLORS… I just can’t seem to run out of outfits to wear them with.
My legwarmers are yet another recent purchase, and something I’ve been dying to wear. Malt (SLURL) is a store that holds many surprises for me. Each time I go I find something I simply MUST HAVE and I tend to leave broke and happy. The Malt Legwarmers (in Kiwi above) were no different, because as soon as I saw them I just knew I had to have them… in many colors. Often. Rawr.
And last but certainly not least, the reason for this ensemble, the creme de la creme of Sasy’s relay blog post, the thing that started this explosion of comfy, crazy, quirky, hipster knick-knacking mashup, the relay item extraordinaire… the shoes. Ah, the shoes. Maitreya’s (SLURL) Frenzy heels in Green. Somehow I missed the heels entirely and found the Frenzy wedges last time I was there… but I am so happy that Sasy’s blog post has opened my eyes to the fact that yes, these shoes do exist. And they now exist in my inventory.
And now this brings my relay post to an end, and I shall pass the torch to the next brave soul… the one and only Samara Barzane. Be on the lookout… I’m sure her blog entry will come sooner than mine did! *someone smack me cuz I suuuuuck! I swear I’ll get better… -.-* Check out Samara’s blog here!

It’s Halloween at ..:: Genesis ::..
I’ve been toiling away for the last week or so making lovely little Halloween themed pieces, and even made a cute little Halloween ring for both men and women. Not to mention T-SHIRTS… omg. Did I mention the t-shirts? See them for yourself (SLURL)!
Three different shirts, two colors each with captions such as ‘Your Worst Nightmare’, ‘Bad Girls Like Candy Too’, and ‘Death Becomes Her.’ I think the Bad Girls one is my favorite… but that’s just me. :P My male friends say the black shirts are totally wearable, but considering there’s still boobie shading on there any way you slice it… meh! You metrosexual guys could rock them, eh? ;) Each shirt set is set at $75L a piece.
Now, on to the jewelry! (SLURL)
We have the Trick-or-Treat Set, listed at $100L, that includes a choker and two color variations of bangles for both the right and left wrists. And to match the Trick-or-Treat set, we have five (count ‘em!), FIVE pairs of earrings to match (lovingly titled the “Haunted Charms” earrings), each sold individually for $50L a piece (click for larger image):
And last but certainly not least, we have my first sculpted ring EVAR… the Spooktacular Ring, fitted for both men and women, and scripted for gold AND silver texture change by touch menu, listed at $50L. And of course… the freebie dish o’ Halloween sweet corn. :)
Enjoy! And don’t forget to take the taxi! :)
Out With the Old School
I am *so late* on this post, but… better late than never, eh?
Kari’s (SLURL) newest release tickled my fancy like no other. Not only because it was a collaborative effort between four of my absolute favorite designers, but because… well, let’s just say the new “Kicks” hold a very special place in my wittle heart. XD
An entire outfit… jacket, pants, shoes, hair… all in one ginormous, collaborative effort of awesomesaucetasticness. Kari, TorridWear, Celestial Studios, and Panache all teamed up to form what I can only describe as the kick-ass-and-take-names team on this release.
First, let’s talk about the new Kicks. Menno, being the friggin’ sweetheart that he is, tapped 20 of his friends for their favorite colors… and immortalized them in a texture change menu for these awesome new shoes. Each color combo is named after one of his friends (you’ll find the yelow/black combo under my name XD) and honestly, this makes these shoes so diverse that I could literally wear them with anything. Choices are what we liiiiiiiike… and Menno certainly is a pro at giving us that! The shoes themselves are no mod, but come with a handy-dandy resizing script for all your resizing needs.
Next up, the New School and Girl’s School hair styles, a collaborative effort between Kari and Panache (SLURL, by Zyrra Falcone), is an absolutely adorable, rough and tumble couple o’ hair ‘dos with a BEANIE… a BEANIE!!! I love mah beanies. Oh, ho ho yes. And this beanie is also scripted for texture change… an added bonus in my book. Unnngh. Lurve.
The New School Suspenders are just killer, and so well made. I often find myself looking for suspenders that aren’t just hollowed out cylinders bent at an angle… and these certainly take the cake. Sculpted and scripted for texture change, these suspenders rock my old school socks off. And they’re SO CUTE… ugh. *drools*
The New School Jeans are a collaborative effort between Kari and TorridWear (SLURL, by Torrid Midnight) and I think Menno actually describes these on his blog best… “These are worn out, ripped up, dirtied, and well..just plain comfortable jeans. What better way to compliment that track jacket? You’ll get two pair of jeans, blue and black, including sculptie cuffs in two sizes.” Again with the choices! God, I love diversity.
And last, but certainly not least (no seriously, not least) is the New School Jacket, a collaborative work of Celestial Studios (SLURL, by Starley Thereian), TorridWear and Kari… an awesome track jacket that is perfect for that rebellious street look. Available in ten different colors, with a sculptie collar included! I love this jacket… it has definitely got to be one of my favorite pieces added to my ridiculously extensive wardrobe.
I don’t think I could possibly explain how excited I am about the future of this store, its future collaborations, and its future blow-my-mind-kthxbai releases. :) Head on over to Kari (SLURL) and endulge yourself in a little New School newness!
Crate Diggers Unite!
Menno Ophelia’s kicking ass and taking names over at Kari (SLURL), his much anticipated shop that finally graced Second Life with its presence in July. Since its opening, Menno has made a ton of new releases (which can be found either at his shop or on OnRez) and his latest is definitely one of my favorites.
The Crate Digger bag, a trendy over-the-shoulder messenger bag, comes in six textures and two sizes, small for the ladies, large for the men. As someone who routinely carries a messenger bag in real life, this is definitely going to become one of my absolute favorite accessories… what can I say, I’m just… such a messenger bag whore. I admit it. I have no shame!
While all six textures offered on the bag are freakin’ phenomenal (Menno, your ability to texture knows no equal), my favorite is definitely the “soundsystem” one (pictured above, center right). With how many textures there are, this bag’s definitely versatile… and it actually FITS… that’s right. The strap is sculpted to fit like a glove, and boy howdy… it’s perfect.
Another thing I never did get the chance to mention in one of my more recent blog posts… the audio wire bracelet. Your DJ friends will LOVE it… and at just $80L, really… it would be the perfect, “Dude, you rock, have an audio wire,” anytime gift to give someone who really digs all things of the audio persuasion. And while you’re checking that out on OnRez, check out the trash can, Scribble bracelet, and Mixtape necklace too… just a few more things I friggin’ love that I haven’t had the chance to mention yet.
But that’s not all… no, I could go on and on about the awesometasticness that is Kari (SLURL). High tops, hats, jeans, hoodies, belts (BELTS… zomg, get the belts… they’re not on OnRez, but zomg GET THE BELTS!)… but I’d much rather you TP over there and bask in all of its glory the proper way.
PS: I know, I just went on a little tirade about the belts… I can’t believe I forgot to mention them earlier. There’s a WHOLE SLEW of belts at Kari (SLURL) these days… and they all come in three sizes – large, small, and curvy. And they FIT. Coming from someone who has never owned a belt in SL in her entire SLife, simply because they did not fit her bubble butt… they FIT. And I *LOVE* them. /endtirade

Draining It For All It’s Worth
You know… I love summer. I actually really do. Despite that I love fall… when the leaves start to change, the weather gets cooler… everything’s so pretty…. but I just love summer. Summer heat… summer love… yeah. All that jazz.
So I was poking around in my inventory today, and believe it or not, I’m still very much in “summer mode” when it comes to dressing my avi… despite that fall is fast approaching. But I’m trying to depart from that and lean further into the fall fashion mixed with a summer touch. And the outfit I settled on today made me think, “Wow, this is cute.” So I thought I’d write a quick post and share it. :) – Click for bigger image!
