The skin design business right now is hot.  And let me tell you, the latest entry into this market is smokin’ hot!  Offered by Laura Leandros of Mojo, Glitterati skins are the latest to make a splash with resident fashionistas, debuting this past Saturday.  According to Laura’s note, these skins are “lovingly crafted to add a little glitz to your natural glamor.”  And that she did!

 Featuring bold eyebrows (yay for the NOT over-tweezed!), 9 skin tones, 40 make up options (20 for day, 20 for night), and 4 style variations (matte or gloss lips, with or without eyeliner), you are bound to find the perfect look for you.

While I find the eyes to be heavy on the make up – that’s the way they are supposed to be!  The shading is fabulous and its good to see a designer offering so many darker skin tones in their range.  The naughty bits are appropriately naughty and as pictured after the cut, the stomach and bum are nicely done. 

The only thing I noticed was the sort of line that appears behind the knee with the highlighting, but let me tell you this – who looks at the back of your knees!  The’ll be spending too much time looking at your glamorous face to notice. 

Another strong entry to the skin market, be sure to visit Mojo and check out Glitterati!

Sorry all this is a slurls and slander follow on from my article in the Metaverse Messenger.

You can read the deranged ramblings of a crazy girl there.

SLURLS!

Aerobics

Call on Me outfit from Kitties Lair

Hair Jackie from ETD

Skin Alina ebony from Naughty Designs

Tennis

Rainment scripted skirt from Nyte and Day

White tank from WRONG

Nubby Socks from Shiny Things

Trainers from TRUTH

Golf

Shorts from Savvy?

Golf shirt from Blaze

Socks from Lulu at Celestial Studios

Devyn hair also from Celestial Studios

Unless you’ve been watching old episodes of Monkey Dust on the web (I have!) you can’t have failed to have noticed the influx of criminal types in SL. Well not really but whatever.

Anyhoo, today’s masterclass in looking like someone else brings you…. Venus!

Apparently hugely popular *snorts*, this dead gal about the grid has impeccable taste, so me and Tie decided to use our eagle eyes to pick out all the parts of her outfit (with an ickle bit of help from the pause button) and now we have put it all together for your enjoyment.

All the SLurls you need to look like a total clone and possibly get shot in the head after the cut.

The Dress is Sinner from Canimal

The hair is of course Maxine in emerald from ETD

Both pairs of boots come from Shiny Things

Skin is a bit tricky, the one we used from Indie’s House of Flesh is discontinued (we’re poor and lazy and couldn’t be arsed to buy a new one) but you can see the new skins they have out.

On one of my usual random whims months and months ago I decided I wanted a flapper dress. You know, with lots of tassle type thing and stuff. Anyhoo, I’d hunted around until my ADHD kicked in and then I forgot about it. Until today when Shai Delacroix released a flapper dress, YAY!

Ok, ok, the photo’s lame, PS was being mean to me so I threw a load of filters at the picture and called it done. Anyway, there it is. And doesn’t it look christmasy*cue tenuous link*

Yeah yeah I KNOW it’s not anywhere near Christmas, but my local supermarket has had all the toblerones and advent calenders out since september! Besides all that I want to make sure people have plenty of time to do a Jim’ll fix it for me. And so, in no uncertain order (and with a few of Tie’s too) is my wish list.

Can someone please make a tailored jacket with prim bits so it flares out around the hips.. Maybe in suede with a prim collar too!

Starley Therian: I love your skins but can you please take off the crazy highlights on face that were in the autumn skins and get photoshop happy with the eyeliner again. Oh and can you fiddle with my arse too *giggles*. The skins arse anyway. Danke

Trinitee Trillam: Can you make more amplify tops in different colours please?

Kin Keiko: Please make more hair! *whines*

Onyx LaShelle: Please please please take the clip clops out of your shoes, you have no idea of the deep psychological damage you’re doing!

Francis Chung: New car! Or if you want to make me a custom Shadow that’d work too!

Pictures of Tenshi and the unicorn *grins*

Ginny Talamasca: Can you please make some outfits that don’t look the same as the ones you’ve already done. Ta.

All the fashion bloggers to be nice to each other! Oh and while we’re on the unrealistic wishes can I have world peace too.

Although, having said that, can someone please bitch about me for five minutes or so, just so I feel like I’m popular.

Launa Fauna: More jeans! More tops! More things! Prim dungarees?

Truth Hawks: More ladies trainers/sneakers please

Luth Brodie: Please, please, please don’t put any more poses in that same vendor. I can’t even count up to 178.

And I’m done, oh here’s Tie’s though.

*Tie suddenly stops what she was doing and blinks, staring around* Wha? Me? A list? Oh umm….

Well, I think all the designers who make crap things should stop doing that and everyone making good stuff should continue.

Oh, and everyone doing the whole seasonal fashion releases should think about something more original as well. I’m starting to just ignore any posts with ‘new fall fashions’ or ‘new winter coat’ in the title… there’ve been a ton of knee length coats released recently which all look the frickin’ same!

More constructively though…

Winter Moon: Make some more stuff please!

Y7: Same applies! Especially some more skirts like the tartan ones.

RaC: I’d love to see some more makeup options (especially for the Drew skin if you need somewhere to start *hums*)

Nevermore: Hybrid 3 skins? *poke*

Everyone else: Surprise us with something new and different.

(Kitty’s edit – Dammit, I forgot about Nevermore! Yes, Hybrid 3 skins or else we’re going to ummm…. cry)

After cut bollocks

Okay the hair is one of my more sneaky finds (I hope) it’s from Unveil and is dangerously sexy with a very nice umm sheen I believe they call it (not sleen gor peeps, I don’t wear 6ft lizard things on my head)

Shoes are Clara from Shiny Things

Skin from Celestial Studios

And the dress from Casa Del Shai

In the absence of any other fashion angels, Tie and I have decided to rename this blog *drum roll*

Tie and Kitty’s Blog where they talk about all the shit they talk about on their own blog but here it gets posted on Fashion Planet!

*end drum roll*

Anyway’s we were doing on of our random sim hops, as usual coming across many many items of clothing for sale which I wouldn’t even wear to a bad taste party. Clothes like the ones in the above photo. Amidst the snickering and guffawing (nice word, no?) came the statement “A seven year old could do better than that”. Well, we decided to put our money where our mouths are (not Tie’s mouth, you don’t even want to see where THAT goes) and get not one, but TWO seven year olds to create some clothing for us! YAY us!

And here they are…

Okay, so in the name of fairness I made the alpha channels (hence the cack seam *sighs*) but everything else was done by them, in photoshop. But please, don’t let us walk smugly away feeling umm smug. Do tell us what you think about our little experiment.

Couple of other pictures after the cut of me and Tie sporting our lovely new tops in the ensembles picked out by the up and coming designers themselves to set off their creations perfectly!

There’s Tie in her lovely ensemble (I believe the top is named after a puppy or summit)

And there’s mine, after much debate and argument over hair etc. Innit the bollocks?

No SLurls, cos I’m lazy and seriously the stuff sold is shit! BUT if you want a lovely copy of the shirts, IM me or Tie in SL.

Anyone who has ever been shopping for silks or taken a stroll through a Gorean sim will know that it’s very hard to find nice silky things. There’s a lotta crap everywhere really but particularly in the silks market with horrible textures and blinging chains. Soooooo… I had an inventory trawl and came up with some nice ones for aspiring slaves and veteran sluts alike.

This one from Solange is a new favourite, and the skirty drapey part accessorises very nicely with couture type outfits. It even turned a few eyes at a fashion store opening event (though that may have been the exposed nipple, not sure).

For a slightly more minimal look, on the right are red belled silks from The Lair next to a chain harness from Stygian Silks. Both perfect for any occasion, whether it’s lazing on the beach, visiting parents or public speaking.

Umm I have to go find slurls now, back in a bit….

Right, in no particular order-

Solange – the white drapey one

The Lair – the little red one

Stygian Silks – the tight, clinging chainy one

Hair – ETD

Skin – RaC

After the cut some more particularly slutty ones, yay!

Sometimes the right thing to do is just to let it all hang out and enjoy the warm breeze on bare skin and Worlds Apart is the place to go. Sweet Purity on the right does the hippie look. Whereas if you prefer the dragged through a hedge backwards and mauled by rabid dogs look then the little ripped, torn and dishevelled camisk will be perfect.

Worlds Apart

Fade Dana is an adorable little hat mechanic whose wares I snuggle on a cold winters night when Tie is out slutting/working/cold. Her shop (co owned with Govindira Galatea) D3volution is a crazy garage filled with unearthly delights (or summit).

As per usual I can’t actually be arsed to tell you about the products themselves so instead I bring to you a reluctant interview with fade herself.

Kitty Lalonde: So what was the first thing you thought when you got into SL? Fade Dana: you cant even interview me before at least 3 mugs (of coffee)
Kitty Lalonde: Yes I can
Kitty Lalonde points to the above question “See I already started!”
Fade Dana: FINE
Fade Dana: first think i thought when i entered SL was ‘this could be so much more’…
Fade Dana: alow me to EXPLAIN
Fade Dana: back then most SL avs looked like plants
Fade Dana: and i was personally greeted by Phil Linden who looked genuinly startled to see someone else
Fade Dana: he explained to me his concept behind SL
Fade Dana: which basically was
Fade Dana: theres no pron in onlien games rt?
Fade Dana: so i said Phil Phil Phil…..this could be so much more! think Interwb but in 3D!!!! hohoh omg!
Fade Dana: the end

Kitty Lalonde: What was the first thing you made in SL? (And if you say a cube then you’ll be using the autopsy table as a butt plug)

Fade Dana: ok well the first thing i made…and i can find supportive picture evidence was Roadkill
Fade Dana: after exploring for several days in this brave new world i decided my soulmate and constant companion should be a prim cause most everyone i met just wanted av secks
Kitty Lalonde hums
Fade Dana: well he wasnt as refined and handsome as he is now

Fade Dana: ill dig out a pic
Kitty Lalonde: Awww
Kitty Lalonde: Why is he called Koala?
Fade Dana: i had an australian animal fetish and dont tell him but his parents were koalas…well one was

Kitty Lalonde: My lovely wifie has requested a grandma by the way
Fade Dana: haha well i thought about that but 40 hours staring at pics of old men is enough for now
Fade Dana: naked
Fade Dana: old men
Kitty Lalonde: You LOVE it
Fade Dana: omfg SLANDEROUS!
Kitty Lalonde: Pffft
Kitty Lalonde: I notice you seem reluctant to make old women

Kitty Lalonde proves point
Fade Dana: omg im going to upload you the sourse i took it from…will make your eyes bleed!

The interview then deteriorated into conversation of the unprintable kind.

Anyhoo! After the cut we have the only SLurl you’ll ever need (unless you want a sexgen bed) and a lovely little romantic story! Yay!

STORY!!!!!

Once upon a time there was a sad lonely old man called George. George’s days were filled with the complexities of pigeon racing and drinking real ale. However George thought there was something missing and so decided to find himself a wife.

He met Tiernan after answering her advert in the paper, after reading the very first line (Help! I’m horny and desperate) he fell in love with her. They met two days later and the affair began. Although shunned by an uncaring society their love was true and their life together was a happy one.

Nothing could blight their happiness until one day when Tie murdered George with a toilet brush in order to cash in on the insurance money.

The End

Oh yeah, everything you could ever want can be found at D3volution!

Do you long for an age where people didn’t add a lol or a ^^ at the end of every sentance? Does the misuse of the english language leave you trembling in the corner chewing on a stick?

No?

Oh well. But if you’re feeling like brushing up on your vocabulary (or at the very least your dictionary skills) then I will have to point you to the Free Rice website.

It’s a pretty simple game, get the correct definition of a given word. But, for every word you get correct one of the advertisers on the site pays for 10 grains of rice to be given to one of the worlds many starving people in third world countries. Don’t worry if you cock one up, the site keeps your tally and you move onto the next word.

Killing a half hour has never given you such a warm snuggly feeling.

Free Rice

Umm zebras and stuff. I’ve been meaning to do this post for a long long time, and with the bazillions of people showing of their sexy/slutty/not very scary halloween costumes I though I should show you lot the best costumes. Okay okay, it’s a tenuous link but feck it.

Of the many myriad of things that I am obsessed with in SL (gorean streaking post coming soon) one of them is avatars. I have spent an obscene amount of moolah on my avs. Some of them, granted, are more for my kids who think that mummy looks shit wearing fancy clothes and she should be a pink pony (actually I have to agree with them). But most of them is because they look ridiculously cool. Unfortunately pictures do very little to show how insanely funky they are so here’s a VIDEO!!!! (Yay!)

Dammit, I love that lion. Some of these avs (such as the lion) cost buckets but have more tricks than Paul Daniels on his knees in a seedy back alley. Some of them cost loads and do squat (but look very nice)

Credits for everything except hair and skins (I’m LAZY!!!!!) after the cut thingy for those of you that care (oh and a picture of all the cutey avs I was ‘forced’ to purchase *mutters*)
