Saturday Morning Mishmash

May25

Happy weekend, everybody! I’ve put together an outfit that focuses on the new mesh miniskirt from HOC Industries. It’s massively colourchange and minorly priced. In other words, lotsa options for not many lindens. The texture I’m wearing on the skirt is for group members. If you belong to the HOC group, you can wear your tag and unlock special textures on the HUD. So pretty!

The Most Important Thing

May24

Lovely new gowns over at Demise of Flight. I chose to wear the lilac gown…so fresh and full of hope.

The lilac branches are bowed under the weight of the flowers:
blooming is hard,
and the most important thing is
– to bloom.

Title quote by Ernest Hemingway.
I’ve never blogged a darker SL skin. As a RL pale Canadian with Scandinavian heritage, it didn’t seem like it was my place to do so. However, I dropped over the the Catnip Carnival today. Catnip Carnival is a charity event organized by Avatars for Animals which will benefit a small non-profit cat shelter called River Cities Humane Society for Cats in Louisiana, USA. 100% of the profits will go towards the charity. I ran across a beautiful skin from Izzie’s at this event and it contained two skin tones: pale and this stunningly beautiful mocha tone. The pale tone is of course lovely, but I was so totally struck by this one, I had to blog it.

I’m Such a NerdMonkey and Other Great Newness

May18

So I took a stroll over to the 100 Block at Depraved Nation and ran into a new-to-me shop called NerdMonkey. I’m blown away! 250L for the skirt and belt (2 items to be worn together or separately), and you get a HUD which contains a bajillion colour combinations for both! So cute and versatile.
