She was very much into the...other side, shall we say...of SL. When Gio found out we were friends, he couldn't fathom why. We're very different people, and yet we always remembered that initial bond. Maybe our SLives didn't connect, but sometimes you just can't forget when someone helps you out. When Heven decided to leave SL, she sent me a bunch of her things that were transferable & she thought I would actually use. One being her Xcite! kit (LOL) which I have yet to use and probably never will, and another being this very pretty necklace! There was absolutely no information other than a creator name so I stored it away, along with all the fun memories of finding decent hair and skin in a sea of freebiecrapola. A few blogs ago, I pulled this very pretty necklace out and wore it for the post. I had to know where it came from, so I IM'd the creator. A very pleasant woman by the name of Dita Tran, who very excitedly said yes, of course I could use her jewelry on my blog and she hoped I liked it! Well I did, so I did lol. Recently, I went to her shop which is still up and coming, but hell isn't that the best time to find them? She's got a small selection right now, but it is beautiful and I really think if you like jewelry which, what woman doesn't really...you should check it out. When I got there, my eye immediately went toward a gorgeous necklace that I cammed closer to for a better look. And yes, then I bought it! It comes with the matching earrings, it's called "Fleur" and it is amazing.
The pretty dangle-y earrings here are also "Fleur" but a separate option to match with the necklace. The set shown here is just about the most gorgeous jewelry freebie I've ever gotten. The "Gabrielle" set, in an exclusive color just for her subscriber group is a set of round earrings with a matching necklace. 
The store is on the same sim as Glance skins, so in this picture I thought I'd wear one of those skins as a little shout out. It was supposed to be my skin week, after all. Now, being the nosy person that I am I was curious how she came up with the name FuLo. I found out when I visited her shop for the first time, so you can too! LOL I'll tell you this...it's a great name...her stuff really is F*cking Lovely!=============================================================

There are so few things that you can do in SL anymore to make yourself unique. Popular items is usually a matter of 'everyone has that!' because its well known and can sometimes be hard to stand out among the crowd. Making your own shape, or having one custom made that no one else will ever have [which I do, btw lol] is a good option. I made my own shape and I have different versions but all with the same face. I've looked like this since '08 and I happen to adore my Anjelyc silhouette ;) the versions mainly for modeling outfits and my curvier version after I had my son. Skins are such a vital part of your look, and there are so many choices out there that its almost impossible to know if you've made the right choice the first time you buy one. I spent 1000L$ on my first bought skin, and I thought I was just the biz back then. It was not that cute lol, I still have it tho because I can't bear to part with it. Those that like to change their looks up have several different skins, some have their favorites that no matter what they will always be wearing and there are the chameleons [ahem AERIS] that have a skin folder bigger than some people's shoe inventory. Doing this kind of thing can be incredibly pricey and we all can't afford that so I say do whatever works for you as long as you are happy with the look you are presenting. It's not easy out here in this crazy mixed up Second Life, and we do what we can. There are alot of decent freebies out there, so stock up on those as much as you can! Do hunts, subscribe to skin stores & catch those sales!
This particular skin that I've chosen to highlight in my series of Skin salutes if you will, is from [Pink Fuel]. I looked at it, and it screams 'emo' to me, so that's why I took pictures like this. The poses are emo poses from [LAP] and the bodysuit is from COCO. While we're being honest here, I don't think i've seen an emo avatar but I imagine they are out there. Nonetheless, this skin isn't just that it's just what popped into my crazy head at the time I bought it. I think the details are awesome, the lips especially. Love a good set of lips on my skins, people. With all of the fashion out there I can think of a number of looks this skin would compliment. And nowadays, when skins of quality are up to and over 1000L$ just for 1 it is a total and complete steal at the 75L$ I paid. This one is the Maple skin tone, but there are 4 others to choose from. Go check them out, and all of the other wonderful skins down at [Pink Fuel]. I have a feeling there may just be one there that you fall in love with...
[Pink Fuel] might not be one of those uber popular skin places to shop but it might just be the perfect place to highlight you in the crowd of effortlessly normal avi's.
