52 Weeks of Color Challenge: Sepia

Okay! I've even got as close as I can to sepia font to make up for the fact that I totally caught a space out on Sepia! *LOL*  I searched my inventory, tp'd to all kinds of stores and even looked through marketplace a bit.  I gotta say I found a fantastic pair of eyes on there, sepia tone with a heart in the center.  Too cute lol, but I digress because I didn't get them!  I remembered way back when I was a avi out on my own, looking for a really awesome skin to own I found Rockberry.  I still have and wear on occasion several of my Rockberry skins and this one I've never had the chance to properly show off until now! 

This is the Rockberry Character Skin.  It is created in the sepia tone, to have that old school photograph feeling and I thought it was a really awesome idea.  Truth be told, I never had the instance to use it and I'm so glad I remembered I had it!  The backround stuff, I edited to match the skin because it looked really funky with the actual colors.  The yellow for next week might be insanely easier to handle LOL...I think I have a gray hair now.

HALLOWEEN IS HEREEEEEEEEEEEE [ALMOST!]

Giovanni: What is that?

Anjelyc: It's a costume for halloween!

Giovanni:  Um, what are you supposed to be?

Anjelyc: Duh babe, an Angel

Giovanni: are angel's skirts that short?

Anjelyc: ummmmmm.....

Hey...who says costumes can't be smexy!?  It is no secret to those that know me that I LOVE Halloween!  I have accumulated a bunch of costumes in SL thus far, and I have ideas for about 2 or 3 more.  It's insane, I know it and you know it but there it is I can't help it!  This particular beauty is from [paper.doll] and I <3 that store sooo much Zoey makes clothes that are just downright fun!  Colorful and sexy works so well when i'm in my sassy moods.  She's got more costumes, and I'm hoping that I can get pictures in as many as possible so that you all can check em out.  There's a lady cop one thats all shorty shorts and cleavage mega hawt, and a pretty goddess one with laces for your legs. Ummm a victim one with a blood soaked dress and a knife sticking out of your abdomen which is awesome, I so want that one.  There's also a ladybug, an Alice in Wonderland-ish one, and a few more.  Want to know what they are? Take your toosh down there and check it out!  Zoey is also working on some great new designs that I shamefully nagged her about *LOL*.  I can't wait to see the end result though! Yippeeeeee

The next lil photo is a fun little thing I put together from Shocktoberfest and an amazing freebie from Glitterati Poses.  The outfit is a costume from ((TASTY)) and is one of the free items you can grab while going through the haunted house type situation at the Carnival of Carnage.  It's pretty neat, I was playing 'Name that Movie' while I walked through and grabbed prizes.  The coffin, candle and skull are all props that come with the Glitterati pose which was totally free and Katey really rocks! 

Okay, how scary is this picture? LOL I tinkered with my MultiTool HUD and put on angry face and had at it!  I also used the coffin again, although it isn't very evident in the picture itself.  I wanted an up close picture of the Killer Candy Corn *rawr* for all to see.  These lil guys are made by {Just a Pose} and there is a num num, a shoulder pet and a hair candy.  Being the over-doer that I am, I put all three on for the pic.  I like it tho, it says i'm crazy and i'm not afraid to over accessorize!  The hair is from 3636 and the outfit, which isn't very well shown here is a fall jumper from M Motion for a mere 5L$.

And finally, my last but not least outfit yay!  This trendy lil dress is from .magoa. and it comes in 3 colors for Shocktoberfest.  I put my Magika hair on because I have been looking for an awesome time to wear my 'Blind' hair hehe.  So being that it's halloween time and I needed to add some creepy to the cute, I wore my CStar Skin.  It was a subscriber freebie, and since I am a member of almost every subscribe-o-matic in SL yep, I got it!  Of course, this picture also has 'The Coffin' by Glitterati.  All in all I think it was a successful shopping-slash-hunt day!  I hope you all check out paper.doll and the wonderful costumes.  Don't forget to swing by Shocktoberfest: Carnival of Carnage!  It's on until November 1st and really can freak out your eyes if you let it!

The Call for Couture 2010

The time is here!  The most fashionable creations are displayed for all of SL, and gathered in one place to admire and adore.  Top designers have come together, worked their pixels off and put together some of the most amazing clothing, accessories, and skins that will be released this year!  This first photo is the wonderful ::PM:: Chloe by Purple Moon, coupled with the elegant Serena Updo by 3636.  To finish the look, I added Jenna skin by *OC* and fab Cobra Boots by Similar Italian Footwear.  The pose is by and is called Automne.  I felt the picture needed a little fun, so in comes [Cynful]'s ready to wear look!  Black and pink, to die for and so fun to wear.  The look includes CStar Skin courtesy of the Think Pink Hunt, Slink Lara Pumps & Magika Gwen Hair.  Sexy shape is by Smexii Shapes and is called Jianisi.  Pose is by Modd.G and is called Lisa.  Two young, exciting looks sure to sweep you off your feet and bid for more!

This little collage was about having some good times.  Basically, I wanted to showcase as many looks as possible because I believe these amazing designers deserve to be celebrated.  There is no limit to the extravagant beauty put forth for all of SL to see, want, need and purchase!!  This photo is featuring -Nemesis- Eternal Love Outfit, with hair by Wasabi Pills and skin by *Just Me* - Kelly.  I also added Queen Earrings by ***Just You*** and a fantastic pose by Pretzel Poses titled 'They call me Rose'.  Also, Bottle Bird has the wonderful Scaley outfit with the Squid jacket.  I added skin by MonS & amazing shoes and hair by MIAMAI.  Fun pose by ..::DARE::.. which I purchased while doing the Seasons Hunt, called 'Not so couture flee'.  I get so ADD while i'm doing hunts.  Back to the picture, ummm ok so next look was alot of fun and reminded me of something I saw on television that I wish I could remember but it was an outfit made out of newspapers.  Maybe it was ANTM...this great dress is the ready to wear outfit from .:Relentless Couture:., and is called the Newsie Gown.  I coupled it with skin by Ooh-la-licious and hair by Berries, Inc.  The boots are another Call for Couture designer, Bottle Bird and they are called ae's boots shown off by a BCA pose by Glitterati in support of Breast Cancer Awareness.  The sweetest lil dress i've seen so far comes from *Fishy Strawberry* and is called the EOS Babydoll.  I added !Imabee's Miranda lashes in Petal and a sweet little hairdo that I thought complimented the look from LoveSoul.  Bringing the look together is a shape from Smexii Shapes called Teash, {Cherry} Ballet Flats and a fab 'Geometry' pose by *Torridwear*.  Hopefully you all agree that it came together nicely!  I am enjoying this event so much, it's a fashion dream as well as being a wonderful way to bring worthy causes to light and do what we can to support them.

These wonderful dresses are sophisticated-sexy and ready to wear be it to the boulevard, the club or the runway!  Sparkle in a Platinum Glitter Dress by :::WRACK::: which pair perfectly with these amazing Pauole Boots in silver by R2.  Had a lil fun with the skin, using a [dekade.] skin called Dahlia that I found at The Dressing Room.  Then to top it off a little Bliss Couture hair and a fav posemaker - Glitterati's Oh yeah i'm hawt pose!  Keeping in line with the cute fun mini dresses, I opted to pair this with .Magoa. Mondriana Dress to which I added my Fhang Candy skin & *eha hair.  R2 is a great shoe store, I have several pairs to date and will undoubtedly add more in the future.  These boots are called Pumehana in the pink color and complimented the pink of Mondriana so well, I think.  My pose of choice is Cover Model by Guilty Sin.

Okay, I found these looks to be the most fun to wear and photograph.  After several different poses apiece, one was picked and added to this blog.  Originally, there weren't supposed to be so many looks in one blog but RL got me behind alot and so I want to showcase all that I can.  The next batch of looks will hopefully be done soon also, because the designers worked so hard so it is my duty to show the public their incredible work.  These particular looks are just so edgy and fun!  The first is from Wild Style and is called 'Outside the Lines'.  I put on one of my newer CStar Skins, MIAMAI hair and Bax Boots and hit the photo studio!  After tedious pose changing I settled on this rockin pose by Modd.G.  [SyS] made some quite interesting fantastical outfits, skins, shoes...everythingggg.  I wanted to make sure every look I did was something the designer would look at and go ... yep, I like the way you put that together chick.  This pret a porter look is Prophetie by [SyS], with Phrophecy Skin and Krome ankle boots also by [SyS].  Added my YunA Hair and a very cool pose by NSA - Fear.  I dunno...I like it!

This beautiful ensemble is Chantkare's LBD Ready to Wear for CfC.  The skirt, the hat...what can I say?  I felt so old hollywood glam in this outfit.  Slipped on one of my favorite heels, Sargento by Sim-I-Lar Italian Footwear.  They truely make one of the most easy to use HUD's for matching skin i've used so far.  My skin is by Glam Affair, and the pose bringing this sophisticated look together is a MIAMAI Elegance Pose.

Last and certainly not least, is Maven Haus.  The new and awesome Haus of Amazing Couture.  I stopped by a few weeks ago and have a few wonderful outfits that I will at some point show off here lol.  During my trip I got Maven Haus' Frostbite Skin, which is included in this photo.  On my feet are my Similar Footwear Tropea Heels and this amazing dress is MH's CfC creation named Noyeb.  I got this crazy amazing hair during Hair Fair 2010 from Vanity Hair's booth.  It is called Up, Up and away and when Gio saw me in it he asked me if it was a hot air balloon.  So, call it a thumbs up on the design! Hehe...ah, and this pose I found at Di's Opera while I was attempting the Rue D'antibes Hunt!  All in all I think the CfC is going very well, I saw some great numbers for the auctioned off one of a kind couture creations and it's only just begun!  Stop by, see the designs and maybe catch a runway show or 2.  I'm telling you, its beautiful and worth the few moments you take out to take a glimpse.  Til next time, lovelies!! xox

The Call for Couture Festival

9/12 ~ Be There!

The time is almost here! On September 12th, put on your best gray duds and get ready for Wear Gray for a Day 2010! It is shaping up to be a fabulous occasion full of fashion, music, fun and awareness! There are vendors everywhere with limited edition items that the designers are donating completely to the American Brain Tumor Association. There are also other items that designers have so generously donated as well, above and beyond what was expected. Shop space has been donated, time and assistance. Look at what we can achieve when we all work together!

Broken Doll has a total of 8 outfits that will be contributing funds to this amazing event. There is quite a bit of merchandise here to look at and spend those lindens on in support of Wear Gray. I did a teenie collage highlighting a few things, which doesn't do justice to the items themselves!

.:ZcZ:. [Zanzibar CreationZ] has a cute little brain thought bubble that hovers over your head with several phrases. Also, charity fundraiser wristbands...I won't tell you what they said, but they gave me a good giggle. Make sure you come to Wear Gray Fair & see for yourself!

!T Junction has out this 'Foxy' tee, as well as a a Kiss? tee & Love, Peace and Party tee. Did I mention that the items in the pictures are just the exclusive Wear Gray merchandise? Well they are! There is much more out with each vendor so trust me, there is plenty to look at and shop for while supporting a wonderful, noble cause!

.Magoa. has created some beautiful items for Wear Gray. The Flutterings Dress in Teal & Silver, and Maia in Silver are exclusive 100% donated items. All of the items out in this booth are donating a portion of the proceeds to the ABTA.

Izzie's has an outfit out in grayscale and full color, both donated to the ABTA. This lovely outfit comes with a beautifully crafted jacket, shirt, and both pants with cuffs and the shorts you see above. The details are wonderful and are sure to be a big hit!

New designer on the block, Chartreusia has a previously released item out "Kaleidoscope" in a brand new color for the fair as well as this Satin Swirl Dress and her line of prim eyes. Always wonderful to see new, friendly faces out there lending a hand!

These adorable zebra print slippers, and wool sweater with prim attachments are A-Bomb's contribution to the cause. In addition to these items, they also have leopard print wedges for women and a striped polo shirt all being donated to the ABTA.

Wear Gray for A Day is a gathering of Second Life designers of all kinds, coming together in support of a cause. This event will be for 2 weeks, and will raise money and the awareness of how vital Brain Tumor research is. Created & organized by Sanura Snowpaw, Wear Gray is a beautiful tribute to the life of her RL cousin who battled brain cancer for almost ten years, passing in 2009. Wear Gray began in RL, and the strength of Sanura's abilities and conviction brought it to Second Life now in it's second year and growing in leaps and bounds.

In it's first year, Wear Gray raised L$212,524. We are all hoping to shatter that record this year, and we need every one's help! Come on down and meet some fantastic people, buy some great items or just donate whatever you can. I chose to write these blogs so that I can reach anyone and everyone! I believe in this cause, and we all hope to see you @ Wear Gray Fair. It's on until September 25th, so we hope to see you there and gain your support!
