!gO! West

I was doing my Friday bargain hunting when I saw a woman wearing this outfit. I complimented her on it, she thanked me and told me that it was a rare Gacha prize from !gO! We talked a little and then parted ways. About 10 minutes later, she offered to sell it to me for an incredible price. I leaped at the chance! I also made a new friend in the exchange. It was a complete WIN!!

Tigress

It all started with the skirt. I unpacked a recent marketplace purchase from sYs and remembered a top I have that would go with it perfectly. Then I dug out the boots from the back of my closet. Somehow I thought I needed a tiger and a jungle backdrop. I think I just needed to wash some cuteness out of my system after yesterday’s Mary Had a Little Lamb.

Pretty in Pink Fuel

In my last post, I mentioned going back to my Lelutka head. Then came the hunt for a new skin. My last “regular” skin was from Lara Hurley. I think their skins are perfection! But everyone has strengths and weaknesses in their designs and theirs is no exception. They excel at skins for redheads and blondes, but I wanted to get back to my brunette looks with a moderately tanned skin that looked true to tone. I hunted around for hours in vain, even trying on other Lelutka heads in an effort to mix and match.

But then I remembered Pink Fuel. I absolutely LOVE their cosmetics– one of their lipstick packs I use for my everyday wear– and I knew they had a few skins in the store. I knew I’d found a winner when I tried on the Anja skins.

  • Body — Maitreya
  • Hair — Stealthic — Ascension
  • Skin — Pink Fuel — Anja II, thin brows, Apricot shade.

Learning to Wear Yellow

Emeraldmist NightfireLeave a comment

In real life, I NEVER wear yellow. My skin has an olive cast and frankly, the color makes me look green. That’s not the best skin color for anyone except maybe a Martian. This made me shy away from wearing yellow in SL, but I’m learning that yellow is a great color against my current favorite skin.

  • Hair — Truth — Yuko, past VIP gift
  • Skin — The Skinnery — Harper, sorbet
