Speaking of SL weddings…
While I don’t ever plan on having my own SL wedding, being a photographer does afford me the opportunity to attend a lot of them. I’m always looking for something fantastic to wear to a wedding that won’t be too much, you know? Not too primmy, not too scripty, etc. The wedding guests create enough lag without me adding to it and making my job that much more difficult. For this most recent wedding, I found the perfect gown – Guinevere from Blacklace.
It wouldn’t be Valentine’s Day, and I certainly wouldn’t be me, if there weren’t a lingerie post in here somewhere. Of course, there are tons of special Valentine’s sets out there and I have a few of them, but I wanted to focus on a more seductive style for my Valentine’s Day. I wanted something a bit daring with a bit of an edge and Jade by Blacklace was a perfect fit.
While trying to come up with ideas for the January MDR Party, ice and snow where the only things that kept coming to mind. So, not wanting to actually celebrate snow, I decided to do a little play on words and have an “ice” party. I’m not talking about that frozen water you find outside during the winter months. No, I’m talking about diamonds. After all, they are a girls’ best friend, right? And when I think of diamonds in SL, the first name that comes to mind is Alienbear Gupte.
I’ve long been a fan of Alienbear’s fantastical designs and gorgeous sparkling diamonds. Her jewelry is ornate and beautiful, with rich jewel tones and crystal clear diamonds. Alienbear Gupte makes high quality pieces, each as unique and creative as anything on the grid. And while her jewelry can sometimes be a bit high prim, it’s totally worth it. I always feel like a princess when I’m wearing something from Alienbear, and one of her newest sets, Azucena, definitely keeps that tradition going.
Technically, I should have been showing you the best lingerie set of 2009 yesterday, but alas my schedule did not work out that way. Instead, we’re going to spend the first day of the New Year looking back at my favorite lingerie set of 2009. This is the set that is definitely the most ‘me’. While I do have that girly, princess side I mentioned before, my dark side always comes first. This set is my darkness turned into lingerie. My pick for the #1 lingerie set of 2009 is Belle by Blacklace.
**Rhodesy Durant, friend and fellow MDR Photographer, has done another guest blog post. This time, she’s talking about her newly purchased skin. Of course, I had to try it on too! But as is the case with so many, it didn’t really work for my avatar. I think it’s gorgeous though, so I encouraged Rhodesy to share her find with all of you. Enjoy!**
My second life began over 3 years ago, and in that time I blush to tell you the vast number of skins I have purchased. I’ve been wearing my current skin almost exclusively for over two years. I’ve blogged about it here before.
And while I’ve been very happy with my every day skin, I never could quite stop the search for others. I’ve spent thousands of lindens on skins I thought I liked, wore around my friends once, and then never donned again. I’ve tried hundreds of lindens worth of demos too. And then, this week, I donned a demo skin that was as good as my normal one but upgraded. I still looked like myself. I just looked…more clearly defined. And then I took my clothes off, and it was all over but paying for the skin pack. My rear end and cleavage has never looked so well defined or realistic! This skin manages to lend curvy lines to an otherwise demurely small figure.
After walking around for 3 days wearing a demo skin and getting Arcadia’s opinion so many times she probably wanted to hurt me, I broke down and bought it. And Arcadia insisted I blog it for all of you to enjoy as well. LAQ’s new Glow Skins absolutely work for my avatar! Below, I’ve posted some tasteful pics so that you too can appreciate the attention to detail that was put into this skin. Specifically, I’ll draw your attention to the knuckles and kneecaps.
