This week has been tough for me. My brother and his family are in flood stricken Houston, Texas, where Hurricane Harvey has caused widespread destruction and horrible losses for so many. Thankfully, they were able to get out of their house and are safe. Their house was damaged but we believe still saveable. My heart aches for so many of the folks that have lost so much... it has been hard to concentrate on much this week. Between that and my recent back injury, I've been really emotionally drained this week. I will be taking a break until the weekend, but in the meantime, here are some goodies you can check out from Dulce Secrets and Alien Gizmo.  skin: Dulce Secrets, Jade Skin Catwa skin appliers, HUD for skin, Omega and Lelutka body appliers include Slink, Omega, Belleza and Maitreya @The Makeover Room outfit: Alien Gizmo , Melody Outfit in fits for Maitreya, Belleza, Slink, TMP, and Tonic in various colors hair: Truth eyes: LePunk lip applier: Sh...

Inspiration is an event that is based on a for each round, to inspire creators to make something related to that them as it fits their vision. This round is Betty Boop, and has some lovely stuff to see for sure! Be sure to stop by today and get your Boop on! Also, I was thrilled to discover that my Mesange eyes work with my new Lelutka head! Just used the LNL OMEGA Relay, and voila, my Chloe head is now Omega enabled. The eyes are lovely, and apply seamlessly. I am so happy because I absolutely love this head. Its such an elegant and well made HUD and head, easy to use and pretty much has worked flawlessly and with little to no lag for me. Hope you enjoy your weekend xoxo Tessy dress: PinkRayne , Boop dress, Cherrybomb,  mesh fits for comes in various colors  @ Inspriation, opens June 18th eyes: Mesange , Iskandr eyes mesh eyes included as well as a HUD that will apply for OMEGA enabled eyes, such as Lelutka, LOGO, etc who are Omega enabled. <3 @ON9 ...

 "The thing about chaos,  is that, while it disturbs us,  it too, forces our hearts to roar in a way we secretly find magnificent."

 "There was a gentle healing that came from coming home to herself. In the boxes of her past were memories of that love that she now realized was part of her and always would be. She had not been perfect, but she accepted her mistakes with kindness. She didn't know what the future held, and so she closed the boxes of her memories and looked to the future with hope.... that is all one can really do in the end." ___________ pj set: :Love Lace: Blue Rain drop pj top and bottom, fits for Maitreya, Slink, Belleza @ Twe12ve chair: The Artist Shed , Rainforest Chair, Snakeskin @ Twe12ve hair: Magika , Lush, new eyes: LePunk Talea eyes, Catwa HUD and mesh eyes eyelashes: LePunk , Jayde Catwa eyelashes head: Catwa , Alice mesh head skin appliers: Insol

 Happy Sunday everyone! I am tickled pink for this particular post because I get to post some really cool stuff from LePunk and omg the boots from ArisAris.. loooove! There are more pics below too, so keep scrolling!  LePunk has always had cute, gothy and sassy styles and this top is no different. The  maxi sweater fits Belleza, Slink and Maitreya bodies, and comes in a variety of textures. I dont' think I'm taking it off for a while ^_^ LePunk has makeup for Catwa heads, and also a new set of yes that are just wow.. super lovely! The lipstick applier is an ombre style, and the eye makeup is just perfectly blended. These eyes are the Amaris eye set, and are mesh eyes, with a color changing HUD. They fit perfectly on my Catya bento head, and also on all my other mesh heads with very minimal adjusting. The reflections and depth in these are gorgeous. The boots.. well.. lets just say I clapped and did a happy dance when I saw them. They fit perfectly on my Maitrey...

This was not going to be a statement, but as I worked, more and more, this image became so much more than just a blog post. I will credit the creators, of course. But this is, for me, my statement of Womankind. I am not a shrinking violet. I will not apologize for who I am. The symbols in this image speak to a truth of hatred and violence towards women that has been propagated for millennia. We are were once Goddesses, then fell from grace because we dared to ask questions, we dared to ask for more.. because we DARED.  Fear drove the witch trials. Fear of losing power drives governments to force women to cover up, to prevent them from driving, to keep them uneducated, to take away their inherent rights to make a choice in their reproductive lives, to keep them from accessing healthcare. The cycle continues still. Across the world, the fear and hate continues. And yet, we rise. We are your caregivers, your Mothers, your sisters, your lovers. We are your daughters. We are your f...

I am sure all of us diehard SL addicts remember the emoter huds back in the day prior to mesh heads right? They were always sort of goofy looking to me, so I never did much with them, except when I was joking around with friends. With the advent of mesh heads, we have had a vast improvement in our expressions, and while I still hedge towards not using expressions very often, I do love how the smiles have evolved.  In this case, I love what *Shake* has done by creating a teeth applier that allows you to choose from bare clean teeth, to braces and diamonds. Because you don't always have to be so serious in SL, and should smile once in a while! :) And, who doesn't love a good makeup applier? I tend to like smoky looks, so when I saw this from LePunk, I just fell in love. There is enough smoky darkness to satisfy me but with a pop of color to make it fun.  Check out the links below to see where you can get this look.. I hope you all have a great start to your weekend! much ...
