52 Weeks of Color Challenge : Indigo

Ok so its been a hectic week and i'm super late with this entry lol but! I did finish it days ago lol.  OK! So I did an inventory search for indigo and grabbed the first things I saw LOL totally wrong, I know but omg hecticnesssss.  The dress is from paper.doll, super sweet lil Zoey Gabardini made this super sexy little number and I actually really like the tone of indigo she came up with.  It's called Alexia in Indigo, and the shoes are from Similar Footwear, Roma in White Patent.  The other look is a one last time tribute of sorts lol, being that MYTH is closing at the end of this month [everything is on sale for 30L ladies & gents!!] I thought I'd take it on home with the MYTH High Rise Jean Skirt in Indigo, paired with !Ohmai's Basic Boyfriend Racerback in White.  The hair in both looks is Rina in Black from Artilleri, and the skin is from cStar.  Like a good little blogger, allow me to let you know about the poses as well lol.  They are from Pretzel Poses, part of the Superfriends pack that I just randomly tinkered with and used the poseballs I wanted to make up the picture lol.  Is Pretzel Poses still around? I have a few...I might be doing a search in a minute here!  Anyway, I was looking at other blogs and we are kickin butt!  So many awesome pictures and new places to check out.  Looking forward to weeks and colors to come!

MYTH 30L Closing Sale

I shed a tear...

 

I also packed up my stalker kit because Aeris is closing MYTH! So I had a moment of despair, followed by anger [this is when I got my stalker box together] and now just a little sadness about all the memories on SL with MYTH involved. It's like the end of an era! My first lindens were spent on Mythology's Denim Skirt & Black Corset set and I wore it with pride! A few months later, there was a group notice and sign stating that Mythology was looking for a group manager. I had absolutely no experience with anything, but I wanted to learn everything I could about SL. So, even though I thought there was no way I would get it I applied for the job. Maybe no one else did, because I got it! LOL and I was so excited to learn everything that I could absorb working with a designer. Aeris was totally sweet and showed me exactly what I was to do, and even gave me some clothes from the store. I wore them everyday, always decked out in Mythwear lol. Thinking back, I was nervous because my acct had been active awhile but I was still learning due to not having used the account for almost a year after signing up for it so people's expectations may have been way higher than I was prepared to know.  Intimidating isn't the word when I found out I had actually got the job, but she made it all soo easy for me and took the time to explain anything I wanted to know. I diligently performed my tasks everyday, hoping to prove myself the right person for the job even though I had no experience to date lol. Lemme tell ya, I got good lol. And slowly we talked more, not just about the shop but other things and one day...we were friends! Now I still harass her in IM and she still runs away from me to her 2 million alts, not to mention she's one of the few people on SL with a tab in my profile. So with all that history, as well as having gone through the countless changing of store locations, the transition from Mythology to MYTH and now the demise of it all I can't help but be a bit sad about it. No more MYTH! Excuse me, I think I have something in my eye...

Anywayyyy...I made her sit her pixels down and explain herself to me...and explain she shall!

OK, so right off the bat everyone wants to know...why would u go and break my heart like this?

Aeris : Its what I do, I break hearts.... really though, months had passed by before I had made anything and I had no desire to continue making stuff and the brand I had worked so hard to build had been fading out in a sad way, of course, because of my own neglect.

What made you decide this was the time?

Aeris : I had originally wanted to do it back in October, that's when I closed down all of my satellite shops and when I began telling people (friends, etc). But *someone* not naming names (anjelyc morales!) kept being a drama queen about it all so I dragged my feet a little bit. I figured I can start the new year out with a change.

See how I always get blamed? UNREAL! Anyway, let's not dwell on who's dramatic right now *ahem* how do you feel about this being the end of MYTH?

 Aeris : A little bit like when leaving summer camp. Your happy to go home but you will miss all of the friends you made. Its kind of a huge relief to be done with it, and when I sent that final notice it was a weight off my shoulders.

What kind of sale prices are all the MYTH lovahs going to have to look forward to?  Well I'll answer that since Aeris took forever and a day to answer all of my questions.  You are looking at EVERYTHING in the store @ a mere 30L!  I mean really...I'm buying things I already have all over again at that price! K let's get back to the questions lollllll

Do you think somewhere down the line you will decide to design again?

Aeris : Meh, I dunno. I'm not super anxious to start a clothing venture. I definitely do need to do SOMETHING as my creative outlet. I'm looking around to see if I can hire my skills on a contractual basis. Like creating an outfit here or there for an already established brand. or doing templates and tutorials. I guess I'll just see what I come up with next. I'm sure it will be something lol.

 If you do, will it be MYTH again? Or will you move on from this chapter in your SL...

 Aeris : I will DEFINITELY NOT be reopening it. This is it, for good. You won't see MYTH coming back 2 months or 2 years from now.

Was I the best store manager ever in Second Life?

Aeris : What? I had a manager? lol kidding!!! You were awesome, whenever I came to the store you'd be there and it was like coming home to a hot cooked meal! BAHAHA. I miss those days lol.

What can I say...I'm pretty awesome lol.  Now...what is the single most bestest ever memory about your time designing MYTH-wear?

Aeris : That time we ran around naked in the store, or we did, you just took pictures and gawked at our pasty bodies lol.

Run tell dat lol, I sure did stay on the sidelines because hispanic people know better than to get involved in the gringo craziness.  We sit on the side and shake our heads while recording the moment.  Holla for having evidence and keeping it.

You lasted for years now, with your own niche on the grid and you did pretty well.  Now that this is the end, do you feel like there is something that designers or future designers need to know about running a business in SL?

Aeris : I didn't want to go out without giving a small bit of advice to people who want to make clothing and open their own store in SL, or maybe who already have one. The three things I wished someone had told me before

1. Never pay for magazine advertisements or any ads besides your classified.  If you decide to anyways just don't spend to much. I've spend hundreds of thousands of L$ for almost every magazine out there and they never pay off, not even a little bit.

2. 99% of the time satellite stores are useless. The most you can hope for are getting new subscribers but for sales? Yeah you'll be lucky to break even. Split profits are good but just remember not to neglect them. I've rented at hundreds of malls, districts, outlets, clubs, etc. whatever you name it. I can count on one hand how many of those paid off and most of those aren't even around anymore.

3. Get a store manager! Don't try to do it yourself! if you can't afford to pay them, give them a commission off of every sale. Otherwise 80% of your time you will be managing hunts, ads, mall requests, FAQ's, bloggers, events, contests, your marketplace store, and all that good stuff that will get your name out there. So you can imagine how insanely large your friends list will get and how easily your IM's will get capped. have your store manager handle all of that for you. Then you can concentrate on doing what you love, making stuffs! Oh and if your photography skills leave something to be desired, try to hire professional photographers whenever possible to photograph your vendor displays! TRUST!

Almost everyone has something to contribute here, so if you think your designs aren't as good as whats popular right now, who cares! A skill worth knowing is one that takes time to build. And last but not least, hold your real friends close, the other ones would sooner throw you to the dogs faster then you can say "free clothes".

She is young, she is wise...and she's pretty cute too if I do say so myself in a non-lesbanim kind of way [she wants more but I fight her off]!  MYTH is going, but it's going out with a bang.  I hope for all of you out there that have never even heard of it go on down and grab a little something.  She was a designer for men and women so guys, don't think you're left out here!  Stop on down and say goodbye to an amazing label that I quite honestly can say I was truly honored to be a part of. 

MYTH Closing Sale - Everything 30L!!!

52 Weeks of Color Challenge : Yellow

Alright...this ended up being much harder than I originally anticipated lol.  Apparently, I imagined my inventory was much more riddled with sunny shades of yellow than it actually is.  I got through it though, and actually had fun doing it once again.  Plus side, I didn't scramble on the last day to post something! Go meeeee yippeeeeeee (you have to say it to yourself in a sing-songy voice).

Okay so, first off the DeeTaleZ Sports Outfit comes in alot of colors, and I just happened to have gotten yellow so yay!  I also wore my CStar Skin from september because she has awesome yellow lips and I am so all about the matching.  I just got that hair from Magika and I luvz it lots, its super cute and I don't wear short styles often.  The socks are from Modd.G, which I love that shop is so adorable.  Sneaks are by Truth, from Hair Fair 09 I think...don't quote me on that thought!  The next one, ok I was checking on my horses LOL and I thought to myself I said 'Self!  What clothing do you have that horsey types would like?'  So I dug out my MYTH Plaid top and of course, there was a yellow! Yippeeeee then the blonde hair is like eeeek I'm so rarely blonde but I wanted more yellow lol.  The star lolli in the mouth is from Pink Fuel and changes a bunch of colors.  The skin is soo pretty, I got it while I was attempting the With Love From...hunt @ Glam Affair.  Boots are from COCO, I luvz me a group that gives kick ass gifts hehe.  The last look is actually fairly new, I went to see the new collection @ The Dressing Room and got that cutesy skirt there.  It's by A&A Fashion, which I don't think I had heard of before but I like the skirt lots.  The skin is amazing, with yellow and red accenting on it that I wish now I would have captured closer up.  It's by [sYs] and its simply incredible.  Hair is Truth, no shirt to mention LOL and the boots are Bax!  All of my nifty poses are by Glitterati, I was super honored to be chosen as one of the names added to Katey's blogger list.  The poses are from the model pack, and look forward to many more Glitterati poses in the future.  I know I know...I used them a bunch before anyway lol.  By the way, I know the backround doesn't go at all but I was taking the pics on my land and thinking its so snowy here I look out of place.  That made me laugh, so I kept the theme going...don't judge me!

This wasn't originally part of my blog, but I had to add it.  This house is one of many adorably well made little homes by nordari.  I love the items there, and I was just like O M G YELLOW!  So I took a picture of it because it goes, and I wanted to share!  These challenges sure bring out my creative side on occasion, so I look forward to continuing to do them and meeting amazing new bloggers in the process!  Not new to blogging per say, just new to me :D

ReZ dAy!

*This is 2 days late, my acct was fooked for a bit!*

Today is my Rez Day! Happy Rez Day to meh! It sounded very rock & roll in my head!  So, this is actually the first rez day I've been actively in SL lol.  Crazy right?  I decided my blog would be a little bio if you will.  How I started, and how I got to be here now 3 years later in SL.  We'll laugh, we'll cry, we'll ...lets face it, we'll probably laugh alot.  I am quite aware of how crazy I can be at times and I rather tend to embrace it.  I wouldn't be me without it.  Here we go!  This is how it alllll began...[too dramatic?]

I was on Yahoo! Msgr, when my friend Ladybug [SL name] IM'd me.  She was frantic and excited, and I was AFK.  So, being incredibly impatient and annoying [love ya gurl!], she texted my phone to tell me to get my assi to my computer so she could talk to me instead of just texting me what she wanted.  When I finally got back to my comp, she rambled about how I should always be at my comp when it was her and then told me she had been with a friend on Second Life.  She says to me 'gurrrrl you have to dl it!  go find it and get it' so I said, "dude, wtf is it" and she's like "OMG Mag [SL name] told me to dl it a few months ago and she finally got around to getting me on with her and she took me to some place and there were avatars having sex!  i could hear like moaning and everything!!! LOL".  So of course, my natural response was "ugh, leave it to you to find more places to be a perv".  'Shutty and go download it!'  So I did, and by the time it was all said and done, it was time for sleep lol.  So I had found out about it, searched it and downloaded it.  Then I registered, and went to bed.  A few weeks later, she tried to get me on and my laptop just couldn't handle it so I deleted it, uninstalled it and never went on again.  Pretty uneventful, huh?

About 7-8 months later, I got a new Acer and I was in a very ho-hum relationship with a fewl of a man and I got an email about SL, so I recalled having made an account.  I had my info re-sent to my email and I signed on.  My avatar was so weird looking, but at the time I didn't know any better.  I thought everyone looked like that.  I spent a few weeks trying to learn how to walk, and I was stuck in between a wall and a tree somewhere on Orientation Island for about 3 weeks.  I'd log in, try to get the heck out of there...fail and log off.  I lost patience very fast with the game, and so I never got too far with it in the beginning.  Eventually, I ran into a lovely woman who on voice, made fun of me and gave me a transferable skin and shape.  Can I just pause here to tell you what I looked like? OMG I don't know who remembers the default avatars here in 07-08 but I had the one with the red dress, white shirt and black ponytails for hair.  Ok so I thought manipulating the newb hair would give me an actual hairstyle I would like.  So very wrong...I don't know what I did to it but it looked like zombie hair.  The only claim I can give myself is it was my signature black LOL.  I tried to give her pinkish nail polish, and somehow turned her whole arm up to her elbow this pinkish purple color.  I attempted to give myself black tights, my whole body was black except my head which was sickly white, and of course my colorful arms.  I was one hot mess let me tell you what.  Had I known how to take a snapshot back then, I would have been afraid to break the camera.  So, she transferred me these items and I crashed.  I was so embarrassed at what she had said and the fact she wasn't actually on voice talking to me, but someone else telling them how I looked and OMG'ing it all that I didn't log back on for several more weeks.  Upon reading some tutorials on how to get dressed and whatnot, I braved it once again sometime in early April or May, I believe.  I put on the shape and skin she gave me, and proceeded to try to find different clothes.  I learned slowly but surely, and all alone because Ladybug's computer had died, and she didn't have another one that could handle SL.  My partner in crime was nowhere to be found and I was trying to learn all of this new world on my own.  Luckily, I'm ridiculously intelligent and got things fairly fast now that my computer could keep me online long enough to learn some things. 

I found a new skin that I liked a bit better, and I worked on making my own shape to look how I wanted.  Didn't know at the time about buying shapes, and what have you.  Just thought everyone made their own, so I did and I still use it to this day.  Of course, I have several versions now but all with the same face and I think I'll keep it lol.  When I had started to get in the swing of things, I met a sweet man just starting out himself and we became friends.  He took an immediate liking [of course] to me, and we hung out whenever we were on together.  We're partners in SL and RL now, and the rest of that story is for another blog lol.  In between Gio and I partnering, I had another SL break due to a hectic RL and another computer malfunction.  I had to get my laptop fixed, and was working 2 jobs.  He looked for me everyday until I came back and I of course thought he was some sort of crazed stalker.  When we were on, we explored SL together & made the most out of each minute we spent online.  We danced, we shopped, we built random things that made no sense just to try out our editing skills.  One day, I walked into a shop that would change my whole SL.  I became the group manager @ Mythology which later became MYTH, became friends with Aeris & she actually was the one that told me I should try blogging.  She taught me about clothing, where to shop and how to flick my Flickr. I did, and here I am now with my site, which I've been on for more than a year *yay* and also blogging for The Metaverse Tribune [http://metaversetribune.com - Mi Paraiso Virtual].  I am taking my own pictures and actually making them look decent enough to post *yay again!* and attempting to learn other things as well.  People actually stop and tell me they like the way that I write, they like that I put so much effort into my blogs and that they actually just like reading what I ramble about here.  It makes me all warm and fuzzy...I used to write poetry [well I still do...] and songs, and now I write about Virtual Fashion and I kinda adore it.  Photography is a RL love of mine, and I'm excited to learn more about creating beautiful photos for SL as well.  Making my own shapes led me to creating shapes for others also, which as of now I'm only doing on a 'Hey u asked, so sure I'll make one' basis.  I probably do too much, but I think i'm just well rounded lol.  I don't want to rule the world, or SL...I just want to be me. I don't need to be popular, I just want those that know me to view me in a good light.  I'm not high and mighty, I just always try to do as good as I can!  All in all, I think me is pretty ok.  This is just how I wagonwheel.  And even after reading all of this, I hope you do too! Hehe...if not, damn it I dunno.  Lemme give u a linden...I'm poor, is 1L$ a good bribe??

50L$ Friday! ~ OMG I actually bought something this time...

I have gone through the list of 50L Friday items for weeks now, never purchasing a thing!  Not for lack of good items, but nothing jumped out at me I guess.  I was about to log off, and I got the new list from my subscribe group @ lamb.  I decided to check things out, as anyone who's done these kind of things knows ... even though it's time the items aren't always out lol.  I went anyway, wasn't doing anything and I was curious to see whatever was out.  I went through the whole list once again, and went to bed.  There were a few places that weren't ready and nothing else that I wanted to buy at that time.  Maybe I was tired lol.  Anyway, sometime tonight I decided to finish it before it was all over so off I went to all the places because i had forgotten where I had been and what I hadn't seen yet.  Then I got to *Shai* and saw these leather skirts.  I've been searching for a pencil skirt for a few weeks now that I like, and even though these aren't exactly that I loved them!  They were 50L per color, or a fat pack for 180L.  Clearly, we know what I chose!  The top is actually very old LOL, Gio bought it for me many moons ago when we first started dating.  It has 3 transparency levels and the bra to wear underneath the more see-thru tops.  I don't know why I decided to find this particular top but alas, I did and I think I like it lol.  It's from LUXUS, and I might stop over there and see what's changed in the last 2 years!

I've been to the next shop plenty of times, not just for 50L Fridays.  There are some really adorable items and its all very girly and cutesy.  It's called *So Many Styles* and I like the little bubble dresses, but I digress I'm not blogging about those today.  The shirt is cute, and well made so I snatched it up and went on about my merry shopaholic way.  The messenger bag is a sweet little color changeable group gift from MIEL, and Bermuda shorts from MYTH.  The hair is W&Y, I think I got it at Hair Fair last year if I'm not mistaken.  I could be...

All in all I think it was a pretty satisfactory shopping night!  Too bad there's not more guy items out there so I can drag Gio along for our usual shenanigans.  If any of you have fun 50L items to share, feel free!  I'm super nosy :)

We're in FULL GRAY here, people!

Anyone that knows me knows I'm incredibly annoying when I'm working on something. I am like a rabid kitty on catnip clawin a curtain and out for each ribbon. Doesn't make me a bad person tho, just dedicated! I like to do my best, and so with working with Wear Gray I was stopping by every so often and checking out the sim. Making sure I saw each set-up, and snapping pics of the ones I liked. Then i'd see random things I hadn't noticed before, or that someone had just set up and had to go around again. I think I might know the sim better than the people that built it. It really was a neat experience to see as people were setting up, decorating and re-arranging all of their sale items and vendors before there were any people there. Never actually done it before, good times lol. I'm sure after awhile everyone got to wondering what the heck I was doing walking in circles, but everyone knows when there's that much to look at you miss things! Hopefully by now I've seen it all. There was one shop in particular that I had to stare at for a long time...the setup near brought tears to my eyes and I think the designer did such an amazing job.

I encourage everyone to stop by and take a look, the designer of Elymode clearly put alot of heart & soul into this setup and it would be a wonderful thing to support the time she took to do this. Also, she's got some fabulous vendors out all 100% donated to the ABTA!

This cutesy lil dress is courtesy of *Boof*, which also made the Wear Gray pin in the picture down below. The tree trunk is from {what's next} and it is one of several adorable home items available for the Wear Gray fair. This trunk has a shadow/non shadow option and 4 sit options for your convenience. They are both donated items for the ABTA.
This picture is my little collage of looks from the Wear Gray donations vendors. We have the I 'heart' SL tee from *Rezlpsa Loc* as well as the Anne Wears Gray Hair, the *Boof* Wear Gray pin and MYTH Trepid Jeans. Then, we have a White tee & Pocket Cord Shorts from *Dreams* followed by a dress from Vanita's Vestures called Opiate & the little ribbons fluttering about the pic are courtesy of Foxworth Creations Gray Ribbon Poofer. There are so many items up for sale here, as well as auctions going on for one of a kind items so please come on down to Wear Gray Fair, spend a few lindens, meet some new people and help an amazing charity!

{ Zaara }

On our first official 'SL date to shop together', Gio and I were looking for formalwear. We both enjoyed going to the clubs, allowing our avatars to dance the night away and just act silly together in IM. He's very mellow, loved the fact that SL is riddled with romantic clubs with romantical slow music lol. I love music, and loved being with him so I didn't care where we went. Back then, and really still to this day it's not easy to find good quality, sexy mens clothing. When you do, its almost like you've hit the lotto. God forbid the place closes down or something, SL is so woman-centric when it comes to fashion. The same is true for RL really, but its not quite so needle in a haystack.

In reality, i'm pretty picky with my lindens...even now. We went to a bunch of stores and I couldn't find a thing that I liked. I was so set on finding something I actually wanted because I was using MY LINDENS! that it took forever, Gio couldn't find anything either and we ended up in those horrid freebie outfits lol. At the end of the day I guess it didn't matter because we spent no time conversing with anyone else. We were just 2 avi's in our own little world, dancing the SL night away. Eventually, we did get some better clothing but that was quite a bit of time away hehe. My very first outfit I ever bought with my own lindens was from MYTH. It was a complete and total coincidence that Aeris ended up being my 'boss' and then & still my friend. I didn't even know where I was when I bought it. Just liked it, wore it for days and saw it later and said 'HEY! I HAVE THAT!!' The first dress I bought was a beautiful, shiny, poofy dress that could be worn 2 ways so I thought omg what a bargain! Interestingly enough, I wasn't shopping for dresses when I found it. I was in a hair shop, if that's not the silliest thing ever. The dress was somewhere between 350-500L$ and I sat there debating the purchase for at least 20 minutes. I bought it tho, because it was so pretty in my opinion...more pretty than most of the things I had come to see on SL thus far. I bought it, threw on my best updo and the most decent pair of shoes I owned and we danced! Still to this day, I can wear that dress so yeah...I call it a great purchase.

The reason I rambled on about all that is because I was out randomly shopping around for the pretty things, and I came back across Zaara. I purchased a cute yellow top and mentally shopped for some jewelry. RL called, so I had to keep it all in my head until I go back. The indian asthetic, the beauty of the clothing and the timelessness of the pieces are rare. How many times have you dropped crazy amounts of Lindens for something you wore once or twice? I'll still be pulling out that beautiful dress when Gio and I are out dancing with our handicapped HUD's on.

Eek! She's Back to Ramble :-O

Anjelyc: wow, everything is so different huh! ur gone for a few months...
Giovanni: it's been almost a year babe...
Anjelyc: WHY MUST YOU ALWAYS CORRECT ME!?
Giovanni: i told you the 'tude wasn't the pregnancy...

Grrrr who asked him anyway...I swear! I'm back *eek* lol! Although i've been on sporadically in the past few months, I haven't really been 'back' to do all the things I SL luv. So after getting my bearings again, remembering my pw and rejoicing at the fact that I remembered how to walk and get dressed *woot*, I started to think about my blog that I luv'd writing so much and decided it was high time I wrote again. Also, because I had organized the h-e-double hockey sticks outta my inventory before I stopped coming on, I found all my favorite little outfits & accessories as well as landmarks of all the wonderful places I found. Ah, the little things that can make one so very pleased. BTW, thank you so much for all of the congrats on the baby he is my favorite little monkey, and if I may say so myself quite a little handsome guy hehe. It's totally unnecessary, but for those that asked, my Paypal email is anjelyc01@aol.com and just the thought is totally touching. Not that i'm touching :P i'm just sayin...

Being that it's my first blog after being away from all the newest latest fun stuff, I thought i'd go to 3 of my favorite spots and see what the new releases they were working on looked like. I have alot of stores that I shop at, but these are some regular stops for me at least on a weekly basis. Once I am back in full SL order, you can expect alot more blogs to make up for all the time that I lost! These stores i'm about to talk to ya about...you may know them, you may not. If you don't love them yet, you better after this!

My first stop on the train of newness and fabulosity was MYTH. Aeris Pinazzo is my secret lovah and an incredibly talented designer...so she's always first on my list of stops lol. If you haven't stopped by MYTH yet, you really need to people. Seriously...don't make me hurt you. I have spoken. I will be heard! Now, back to the new releases lol, they are quite cute if I may say so myself. Apparently, while I was off bein preggers Aeris decided to show a bit of her naughty side. I was shocked and appalled at the cleavage and the mini of the skirts and the...yeah ok, I got all of it so sue me. What can I say? Who doesn't like to let the cleav be the star of the show on occasion!? Stop in to take a look at those releases, they are smexy deliciousness I promise ya. The new NEW releases [ really new & not just stuff I missed while I was busy in RL] are a super short mini-skirt with an awesome high waisted corset detail. The skirt comes in 5 colors and can be paired with the other release, which is a totally cute mini-pocket tee that comes in 7 solid colors and 4 camo prints. The skirt compliments my toosh ever so wonderfully. So hurry along and go check it all out! Get them! I did

http://slurl.com/secondlife/Copley%20Square/130/48/24

It's interesting that I have blogged them before, but I swear they keep doing things specifically to make me go back to their sim...after all, it's all about me right? That Steffi Villota is not just a great designer, I think she is skilled in the art of seduction LOL...I'll ask Dark about that later bwahahaaa! So last time we met, DeeTaleZ had re-opened and had a sweeeet new sim. These people are highly indecisive because their sim is changed AGAIN! It's all dark and curvy trees, very oooh and ahh lots of mystery lol. I think Steffi may never sleep IRL because there is sooo much new stuff that it really baffles the mind. I may need to stage an intervention for her lil workaholic toosh. But you know, if you're taking suggestions Steffi...more shoes! Anjelyc loves her shoes!! DeeTaleZ is going ultra sexy show it if you got it, like WOW these new releases are filthy-naughty-fantasticness I tell ya. Just when you thought there was every accessory out there in the SLW, DeeTaleZ brings you animated! body and face glitter. LOL I thought I read it wrong but no! It is true, people the creativity of the world will never cease to amaze. I love it, i'm getting some for myself so I can sparkle while I shop for the new hotness. DeeTaleZ is family, so yep you will see their designs gracing the pages of my blog every now and then. Give em a visit, check out the new look of the sim and grab some awesome gear!

Last but not least on my little journey through fashion land is {paper.doll} by Zoey Gabardini. I came across this shop oooh golly-gee-willikers like a year and a half ago? I was looking for something else and walked out of there with 2 shirts and a freebie tee that had me crackin up for at least 20 minutes. I wore that tee for days. I have wanted to blog {paper.doll} since forever, but at the time Zoey was working on her sim and then it was done and my computer died on me then I dared to be with child, and soon after that lil man had the nerve to want to be born! But finally, that day is upon us and I am so thankful that I have this chance. I have no idea if this store is uber-popular but it should be just like all the stores I love because I have crazyinsaneawesome taste. The clothing in {paper.doll} is fun, flirty and feisty. I think we can all agree that sums me up in so many words (ok ok it wasn't that funny). Zoey has a great eye for detail as well, and really comes up with some young and fresh ideas to make awesome designs for her customers. I have more than a few items from {paper.doll} and I luv em so much there is a designated folder for her clothes as there are for my other faves. A few of her dresses have been so mini that Gio gives me the evil eye, but hey it's not like i'm walkin around town with the baby in tow in a micro mini right? So its all good hehe. The releases that particularly caught my eye that says 'ooh i'd look so cute in that!' are a cute Terry Cloth Jumper that can be worn with or without a white tube-top-ish thing. Can I just tell you...the look without the white top? SCAND-a-LOUS!! Omg boobies everywhere lol. The colors are awesome and the look is ridiculously adorable so I must have them. Also, Zoey created these very 'in' Inked Dresses that need to be an addition to my folder as well. Various colors and designs all very stylish so therefore very ME! Last but not least, the Definition Minis that come in 4 styles let everyone out there know who you are when they read it across your body. There is Bitch in red, Independent in black, Cute in blue & Sexy in pink. Who out there doesn't think they're a combo of all 4? LOL get your booties on down to these amazing stores and hook your inventory up to diva status! Right Now!! I SAID GO!!!
