Find the lady of the light still ravin in the night
That's how you reshape destiny"

I hope everyone has been having a wonderful week and that you are all ready for a fantastic weekend full of debauchery, and of course, SHOPPING!  All kinds of events open this weekend including The Thrift Shop which opens tomorrow, May 9th, at Noon SLT.  HEYDRA happens to be a Sponsor of this round offering all kinds of new and exclusive releases including the "Sonya Tank".  The tank top comes in 7 colors with System Layers and the OMEGA, Slink Physique and TMP Appliers ensuring a perfect fit no matter your body type and shape!  The tank is normally 199L but will be available for ONLY 99L for the duration of the event.  And if you are looking for a perfect pair of jeans then look no further than the new "Star" jeans from NoName!  The mesh jeans come in 5 standard sizes with a color HUD offering you 6 fantastic choices meaning you will never be without a pair of jeans to go with your favorite ensembles this Spring and Summer.

I don't often wander over to We Love Roleplay unless I have seen something specific that I want to pick up.  This round however, was a different story!  There wasn't just one or two items I wanted to pick up, it was a TON!  DeeTaleZ's release for the event is absolutely gorgeous and if you are looking for a very natural looking skin complete with beauty marks then head on over and get your hands on the "Eva" skin at a discounted price for the duration of the event, you will not be disappointed.

What the water gave me

Good morning everyone!  I hope you all had a great night and woke up to face the day refreshed and are ready to head out shopping on the grid!  Designer Circle opened March 1st with their 100th round which means everyone involved has brought amazing offerings, including this fabulous new swimsuit from Heydra.

 

The "Sephyra" suit comes in an assortment of colors and the fit is just fantastic!  I loved not having to worry about my parts showing through even without an alpha, which of course makes for an easy fit.  The swimsuit is only available at Designer Circle through the 14th of March for $100L and make sure to grab the gorgeous set of wings that are a gift from Heydra for the event while you are there.  A stunning new swimsuit in your favorite color is a perfect way to kick off the Spring season that is lurking just around the corner!

The No Tell Motel

When we broke for court while the jury considered their verdict, all I wanted to do was head on out to the parking lot for a cigarette.  But, his eyes had been working me over all morning and the note in my hand said, "Meet me in the parking lot for "lunch."  The pearly white sports car pulled to a stop in front of me with its windows so dark they hid the eyes of the one inside.  Taking the pins from my hair and letting it slowly unfurl in long waves I stepped to the door, sliding into the butter leather seats with ease.  The No Tell Motel was just around the corner and apparently we had a reservation today for a long lunch.

I thought since it was "Hump" day that I would share with you the little story that was running through my head as I put this ensemble together and headed out to do pics for my very first post for my newest sponsor, Heydra!   The "Giana" dress is a dual release in the main store and at Feeb's Rascal's St. Sales Room in a variety of colors.  The dress fits fantastically and the mesh does not break or stretch when posing or walking, which of course is always a plus for those of us always on the move on the grid.  If you hurry on over to Feeb's you can get the dress for 50% off for $75L or if you miss it, then head on over to the store and then of course make sure to join the group to get your hands on some amazing goodies!  The open front on the dress just begged for a sexy lace bra which of course Tchelo's always provides.  In a time of appliers, it is nice to know you can still get gorgeous pieces in system layers.   I was so excited to get to show off these adorable new pumps from Reign currently available at Uber.  I LOVE the side bows and the elegant tall stiletto!  They are available in a few different colors, so if you haven't grabbed yours yet, hurry!

This ensemble was also the PERFECT way to show off Catwa's newest release "Grace."  The hair is Fitted Mesh and moves with your breasts when you have your physics on, which means, it also comes in S, M, L per your head size, and each of those also has a size to accommodate Lolas.  Not to mention, to ensure a perfect fit every time they come in separate pieces without the side and then a moveable side piece as well.  In other words, you have all kinds of choices and the HUD's of course have all of Catwa's famous colors.  Head on over to the store and be one of the first to own "Grace."  And I have to take a minute to talk about Pure Poison.  Every month fantastic group gifts are released and trust me, everyone is well worth the trip to the store!  I just had to share a couple of my favorite pieces today, and if you haven't been by to grab your gifts recently then make sure to do that and check out all their newest releases at current events!

Have a wonderfully wicked Wednesday and remember to always stay true to your style and make today's fashions work for you!

Ride or Die.....

When unpacking and putting together ensembles, I couldn't wait to bring everyone these fantastic, retro jeans from Glo, currently an exclusive at Vogue's New Year New Trends event.

The "Foxie" jeans are available in several colors and can be worn with or without the belt.  I absolutely LOVE the retro high waisted, bell bottom styling of these pants and the chain belt is a fantastic accessory that adds to the versatility of these pants.  Glo has quite a few exclusives for the event, so make sure to check them all out when you go to pick up these jeans!  The old school biker girl in me came rushing out as soon as I wiggled into the black pair and my mood for the night was set!  I headed on over to Roche to take a few pics, and ended up staying much longer than I had anticipated and taking a lot more pictures.  The sim is awesome and I just love the rundown gas station set on the sea.  I wonder how many towns along the old Pacific Coast Highway or Route 66 became rundown and abandoned and actually have places sitting like this across our country.... Oh to be able to jump on the back of a bike and head off into the sunset just to discover hidden gems.

The Razor's Edge

In the shadows, she dances on the razor's edge.  Constantly flirting with danger in an endless dance of mystery and darkness; pain and solitude.   Her eyes glancing forever over her shoulder, watching and waiting.

Last night, wandering with my best friend, while doing a bit of retail therapy at Razor, I picked up these amazing boots and this fantastic outfit!  I love the fit on the Ring Leader outfit, even though, no alpha and no panties, might take a bit to get used to, for me.  It is super sexy, expertly detailed and even when you move around, none of your pink parts peek through!  I just HAD to grab the Envy boots while I was there as well, because the HUD is just AMAZING!  I went with the basic black for this outfit, but the color combinations Razor offers are sure to keep almost anyone happy!  

 

Now, Suicide Dolls is wrapping up their latest round with a new one starting this weekend, and 7mad;Ravens will be bringing you a new original mesh guillotine necklace, that comes in two versions; bloody and not.  Pictured here is the bloody version and the necklace is perfectly done.  From the slight glint on the blade to well placed blood, this necklace is awesome!  So make sure to run down this weekend or during the week and grab yours!  I have a feeling some of you missed the Saturday Sale, which means you missed these cuffs from heathenesque.  The brute cuffs come in a variety of colors and are a perfect, chunky cuff that can go with your heaviest industrial looks, to casual jeans and t's! The Depraved Nation sim itself holds all kinds of unexpected discoveries if you haven't been by yet.  Wander around and find the new homes for 7mad and heathenesque, you will be glad you took the time to go get lost on the Razor's Edge!

Dark Style's Fallen Angel

The Dark Angel

Dark Angel, with thine aching lust!
Of two defeats, of two despairs:
Less dread, a change to drifting dust,
Than thine eternity of cares.


Do what thou wilt, thou shalt not so,
Dark Angel! triumph over me:
Lonely, unto the Lone I go;
Divine, to the Divinity.

The Dark Angel
by Lionel Johnson
1893

Just a few more days left at the Dark Style Fair, and this is an outfit I have spent the last couple of weeks putting together for you all!  The tattoo by UtopiaH inspired this outfit, as it is absolutely amazing!  The detail is exquisite, and considering the placement of this body tattoo, which does cover both breasts, there is minimal stretching and blurring of the lines.  The Slink Hand Applier is seamless, and this is often not the case with a lot of continuous arm tattoos to the hands.  For the sake of keeping my blog viewable by all, I have covered the pink parts with the new Zoella hair from Truth.  I love this hair for several reasons, one of them being I can get away being topless without the decency police putting me in shackles; and another, it splits perfectly over the shoulders and drapes elegantly down the back.  The waves in the hair keep it from looking stiff when you move and when taking pictures.

Have you heard of Scrub?  I hadn't until I walked into their store at the Dark Style Fair, and at that moment I was thrilled I had waited to spend any Linden until I found the perfect outfit for me to show.  Now, with my usual Boho Chic style, a place like Scrub would normally stay under my radar, so I am thrilled to have discovered them at the Fair!  The "Like a Nun" collar is a fantastic mesh collar that also comes with an alpha, if you need to wear one.  I did have to adjust my body fat to almost zero however, for it to not cut into my shoulders, but this will be something everyone will have to adjust differently depending on how it fits.  But if it isn't fitting right, try body fat and thickness first!  A set of bracers that are fitted mesh are also available to match the collar.  The details are wonderful and the lacework is very well done.  Also at Scrub you will find this delicate face chain, called "Alice's Chains".  It is available in more than one color and they are easy to resize as well, which, of course, makes it that much more appealing.  I didn't spend more than a minute getting to fit perfectly for my face.

DirtyStories is another store I was unfamiliar with, but after falling in love with these horns, I plan on finding out more about them!  The Damned Princess/Prince Horns are available for both male and female in their store at Dark Style until it closes.  The detail on the back of the horns can be seen in the first picture.  The design is very unique, considering that most put the details on the front or the sides of the horns, not in the back.  As usual, Maxi Gossamer's Bali Gypsy Hand Jewelry adorns my hands.  If you missed them at FaMeshed last month, check the store.  You can resize, recolor and retexture the beads, cord and the stones on the hand pieces, which makes them very versatile.  I made them black and silver for this outfit, but the number of different combinations you can create is stunning!
