FFL - Precious Possessions

Lately there have been a number of friends who have been talking about the things they treasure most, and the heartbreak that comes when those things are lost or broken.  I know what they mean, and it doesn't necessarily correlate to a monetarily valuable item. It could be your Grandmother's Pyrex Pie Plate, or your Mother's Wedding China. It might be that lock of hair that came from your child's first haircut, or even that first lost baby tooth. The point is, these things cannot be bought, they don't mean much to others, but they mean the world to us because of the person who they came from. Second Life is an odd place to find precious possessions, but a lot of us are holding on to inventory that we may have purchased when n00bs, or even an items that was from a loved content creator that cannot be replaced.  Think about the things you treasure most in life, I doubt they are about the money.

This look is an instant favorite, partially because it is a dress from my own sister's shop [Girl Thursday], but because it is instantly elegant and so easy to wear. Better yet, 100% of the cost of this Exclusive Color dress goes directly to the Fashion For Life charity event. The shoes, from a long time favorite Bliensen + MaiTai, are equally brilliant, They come in scripted HUD multipacks with 6 different tones in a color range, plus gem and sole color options. Another FFL donation item, as is this lovely wig from *~*Damselfly*~*.

Happy Shopping!

FFL - A Ribbon For Your Heart

There is a ribbon for every cause, whether it is the "Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round The Old Oak Tree" to remember our troops overseas, or the iconic Red AIDS Awareness Ribbon, or the equally visible Pink Ribbon for Breast Cancer Awareness. But the ribbon that signifies the battle against Cancer of all kinds in the Lavender Ribbon. This outfit is the perfect one to illustrate how elegant a cause can be. Girl Thursday's Fashion For Life Exclusive Giftwrapped Dress is a stunner, and also is set to donate 100% of it's price to Relay For Life - Second Life.  Similarly, these very Sexy Event Exclusive Essenz Detroit Limited Stilettos also donate 100% of the price to the FFL drive. If you look closely, Lavender Ribbons appear on both items.  Nail polish from -{ZOZ}- and MINA Hair are also Special FFL Donation items.

Friday Night City

It's Friday, and that means a whole gaggle of new Fifty Linden Friday deals on offer for just $50L. This week sees a new release from [Girl Thursday] that has two color options available on sale until midnight tonight only. This adorable sueded halter top matches a previously released buckle skirt, but is great all on it's own too. Each color actually comes in two variations, so that means two new tops for one great price. Not only that, but the boobie girls are going to love that [Girl Thursday] offers mesh breast appliers with this release. You can nab yourself the Black/Black and Pearl version, or a Hot Pink/Hot Pink and Black version for the $50L sale price. After midnight tonight, the price goes back to it's regular deal, but all 8 color version packs are must haves for a hot summer look. Don't you just love a good deal from [Girl Thursday] on a Friday?

Girl To The Max

[Scroll Through Additional Images Below]

I may be partial because she is my real life twin sister, but Anessa Stine is one of my favorite content producers in Second Life. She can take a blank canvas, like this mesh maxi dress, and work it to look like silk. Lovely details like the tuned edge at the seams, and the drapes and folds are all hand painted. You can get this amazing summer dress from [Girl Thursday], which actually is a two-piece fooler that even has boobie appliers, for only $95L at the new round of My Attic at The Deck which starts at midnight tonight. You have to move fast, the event is only 10 days in duration, but then you can snag it in the main store afterward at it's regular price. It comes in six fabulously fun color variations, so get to the My Attic event and get loads of goodies for less than $100L!

Buckle Up Buttercup

[Full Credits At Bottom Of Post]

It is no secret that I adore changing up my look in a chameleon like way. Though I am loyal to my skins, I change my hair often, and when I can pile on the tattoos, I love to ink up.  Perhaps my favorite change since my last rendezvous in SL has been all the new layers, available for customizing your avatar. From hair bases, to nails (thank-you very much Slink), and especially all the amazing full body tattoos.

This tattoo is an allover masterpiece call Rigel, from Letis Tattoo, and it even comes with an available Slink Avatar Enhancement HUD for the hands.  From front to back, both legs, facial stars, hands, all of it in one amazing tattoo design. I think I have found a new addiction, just when I thought I had mastered them all.

This adorable new Girl Thursday Buckle Skirt is available today for 50L Fridays, in both this sexy black version and a yummy grape purple colour too. It is perfection for displaying a lot of skin, and a great new Tattoo. It comes in a heap of luscious colors in store, so check out Girl Thursday for some wonderful fresh and affordable swag. With new (to me) nail Flair by Sasy Scarborough, I feel positively styling. 

Maxi Gossamer is my favorite find of the month for great prim accessories, I could have bought up her entire shop if someone hadn't emptied by Linden balance, no names.... *tries to look innocent*. The Dream Angel Skull Ring is so bad-ass, and the Amalfi Necklace is a long and sexy adornment. And sexy ankle boots from Leverocci make my new Slink feet look so sweet, I may pop the peep-toe look more often just to show them off. I shared this great look over on the On Your Toes blog today too, so take a peep!
