Just a little of what I like to call my "RandomAHcity"

Well, lately I've been quite the thrifty avi.  I've abstained from shopping semi-crazily like usual, thinking ooh I can blog this and I can blog that and of course, using some of it but really not blogging most of it lol.  So, my inventory is overflowing with clothing I don't wear anymore and things I've not worn yet which is so not me!  I actually have a folder of things I meant to open and totally forgot about.  Seriously...it's becoming a sickness.  So, in the wake of Shocktoberfest and The Call for Couture and the multitude of clothing I got for these events I started thinking that I should just run through the things I have and see what I can showcase.  I will of course put up pics on occasion of things you can't get anymore and you will cry but I will be willing and somewhat able to let you cry on my shoulder.  Just for a bit though, cuz ya gotta get over it at some point!  These two looks OMG I was in awe of the shortness of the skirt from MonS but I know alot of females embrace the short short stuff and the ultra sexy look so I wanted to let everyone know that MonS has a 50L store and that is where this outfit is from.  For 50L you get 3 colors, top and skirt!  It's unheard of but true...I got them!  I also got a super cute top with ruffles that has a lil belly showing and that came with 4 colors for 50L.  Amazing right?  The second look I actually just got, it was a group freebie from ::Hucci:: and I love the fall color and argyle look to it.  And the sexy sprinkled in with the length of the sweater dress.  Both looks are paired with my Sim-I-Lar Footwear because they are my new favorite thing to wear, any style the shoes are incredible and affordable!  If you haven't gone, you must and then post your pics on Flickr!  My poses are from NSA - No Strings Attached.  I really can't say enough about the poses that Milli makes...she's just awesome and makes some totally creative stuff!  The hair is from Truth, of course.  I spent far too much L$ there...dagnabit, that Truth Hawks...

While I was hangin out in my yard, I got the silly notion to take a picture with the things I had bought about 20 minutes beforehand.  I copped a squat on my nifty folding chair and showed off my 50L Friday Reek Boots that Aeris bought for me because she was appauled that I would contemplate a 50L purchase.  I see where she was goin with that but the eye rolling was unnecessary.  We were talking in IM and yes, I can tell when she rolls her eyes at me!  The skirt is an oldie but goodie from DeeTaleZ that I love, and will some day go back and get the other styles of and the top with orange jacket is a sweet lil find from The Dressing Room.  It's a great deal made by R.icielli and I don't have to wear the jacket with just the tee!  It's 2 pieces which means yay :)  and the chair....ummm the chair I got as a gift from MudHoney!  The colaborations with MudHoney and Glitterati are some really awesome stuff and this chair has 9 poses in it which is pretty nifty if I do say so myself...and I do!

Skin Sloot! Pt 1

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.
