fashionably late with bare feet :o

It seems as if all the women in SL are running around barefoot all of a sudden..maybe it’s because Maitreya has released *the perfect prim feet! If you’ve worn any Maitreya Gold shoes, then you know how real the feet look, how well made they are..and the bare feet are no exception. Available  in pointy toes or flat feet (both styles shown in picture above).

TP to Maitreya to get your bare feet! Also, while you’re there check out the new  YaXkin flats and the new summer edition of the Moxi wedges.

The adorable Elly bandana tops and the newest Shag hair, Voulez Vous, can be found at Fashionably Late, for this week only! Every week the collection changes at 4pm SLT on Sunday…don’t miss out on the special prices!

I’ve ventured out of my bubble once again..trying a little variety. These pics were taken in front of Poetic Color/kusshon..I was there picking up kussion’s free July gift (located in the front of the kusshon store)..they also have a new Poetic Color outlet store with all of their discontinued eye colors on sale for 100L$ a pack. The notecard stated that they weren’t sure how long the outlet would be up so take advantage of it asap..their older colors are actually my favorite, and include my all time favorite eyes ever, shallow water (worn in this post).

I’m in head to toe SMS in this shoot..well…actually ear to knee lol..SMS doesn’t sell hair and you can’t see my feet but I still haven’t been able to take off my new Maitreya Allegre heels, from the last post…I know we bloggers usually love to mix things up and wear items from many creators..but I loved this look so much I decided to throw caution to the wind and wear all SMS…I know, I know…I’m a rebel what can I say?? :p
*Be sure and join the SMS group if you’re not already in it, and grab the group gift in the front part of the store!

shadow play

just practicing on my photoshop shadows..since it’s not looking like I’m going to have them anytime soon. I’ve tried too many viewers to list that have given other Mac users shadows..I guess my graphics card isn’t up to date enough, I don’t know…any suggestions are welcomed!!

I know most of you have already seen all the new goodies from Maitreya…but you haven’t seen them on me! Well..there is a possibility some of you have…since I’ve had this outfit on for the past 4 days or so lol…time to get this post finished and change clothes, dammit!

The new Allegre shoes from Maitreya..***swoons***

Also, have you heard about the Hair Fair flickr photo contest? They’re giving away some really great prizes, the one that really catches my eye is the 1 year Pro Flickr Account…especially since I’m getting the little “renew your subscription” warning every time I log onto Flickr…

a perfect specimen

i was ecstatic when he told me i’d be on his team….”what’s our team called, D?” i asked him excitedly.  he looked at me, smiled and said, “skins, Babygirl”…

♥♥♥

for the longest time i’ve had a favorite “go to” pair of short shorts in sl…I think the new Feel Free shorts by Boom may have taken their place…and please no comments about my bony ass…Poppy has been drinking chocolate milkshakes every day working on filling out These shorts look amazing with a full juicy booty…just sayin….they really do!

SOMETHING FOR THE BOYS
SOMETHING ELSE FOR THE BOYS

speaking of the pic below of course Why can’t more men in sl  put more effort, more personal touches, into their avi? Don’t they know the effect it has on us girls? Chances are, if you’re a male reading my blog, you do put effort into your avi..but you know the ones I’m talking about…and they get so offended when you try to help them out too.

For the longest time I thought…wow I must be really superficial if I care so much about what an avi looks like. But..I think that it 1) shows you that he is into the game as much as you are..not just some noob “logging on to get off”. 2) It also gives you a lot of insight into the person behind the avi…tells you if you’re tastes are similar…3) it shows you that they have a sense of creativity…an imagination. 4) tells you that they know that their avis are their personal works of art, basically representing who they are, or who they want the world to see them as…even if they are some sort of sci-fi creature…that still shows that you have an imagination and enjoy playing the game.

I could go on about this subject forever..oh! look! I have already..lol…and there are so many more reasons that, in my humble opinion, it is important to put work into your avi…make him or her your work of art, your representation of yourself or whatever you want to be…..those 4 reasons were just the first things that came to my mind…I’m sure there are many more numbers you could add…feel free to add them if you like

she soothes my soul

 Laqroki‘s new, Mini, modeling Lelutka‘s Jumpsuit..and yes…again with the Mischa Wedges..(I told you it would be 3 or 4 posts! :p)

Below are all of the makeups included with Mini…and seperate brown hairbase versions included as well.

It’s been a long time since I’ve gotten to spend some time with my Ope, aka demi. Last night we had so much fun posing and taking pics and goofing off…just like old times. Thanks gull..it was just what the doctor ordered!

Well…there was one teeny thing…it did give me a horrible relapse of shadow envy when she took the pic below of us.

I had just started getting over the shadow-envy from the pic my friend Dai did of me(below) if you didn’t already see it in my flicka.

So today I installed several viewers in search of shadows, to no avail. Oh…did I mention I have a Mac? Yea yea..I know..Well I heard through the grapevine that Mac users could have shadows now…so I installed a few of the ones that work for some of the victims users…sighs….but alas…..still no shadows for poppy

windlight dawns

I just love playing with all the different windlight settings on Phoenix…and if you haven’t looked in a while, they’ve recently added some awesome new ones to the preset list.  I’m embarrassed to say how many pics I took for this post, lol. After much sorting and sifting and deciding, I narrowed it down to a few of my favs. I guess I favored the sunset settings for this “look” because those were mostly my picks.

I took these pictures with the notion of entering one into the Shag Flickr contest…and I’m sure I still will. I just want to play around with some of them some more. Perhaps I’ll look through some photoshop tutorials and see if there is something that could give my pic some “oompht.”

I’ve never entered a photo contest before because I just don’t have enough faith in my photoshop/picture taking skills. I mean I know I’m not on a kindergarten level..maybe..3rd grade? lol..regardless…there are some KICK ASS people on Flickr..we all know who they are lol. It makes me feel nervous and self conscious to enter a photo contest….but hell…might as well :p

The pic above is the one I’m leaning toward as my first entry(you can enter 2 pics), but I feel like it needs something else…more depth maybe? More light? Any suggestions??? Please??!!!! lol
