My very own one-of-a-kind sweater....

My dear sweet friend, Zalyn Bailey, designed and gave me a one-of-a-kind sweater today.  With my first name on the front and last on the back, I can be sure no one else will be running around SL with this on! 

More PhotoShop trials...

And more playing with light settings.....

More with PhotoShop

Still learning, lost my main teacher but I'm experimenting.  Got lots to figure out, been watching videos, playing with light settings, and anything else I can possibly do to mess with pictures.

Fire.....

Fire....still one of my favorite fun photos.  This was one that I won a contest with.  Actually entered it in two different contests, didn't win the one for the skin I'm wearing but won totally different one.  I kind of miss these dressing up wild days, coming up with very different looks for competitions or contests.  Time to play again.

Snowflakes abound....

After a day of rearranging the house for Christmas, I decided to lounge a bit.  I'm wearing the latest release from *VoguE* - Belle shirt with its classic lines in white with a scarlet scarf around my neck.  The Rihanna pants are the eye catchers.  With a slit on each side, the laces are what holds these pants on.  Daring.  Alluring.  Sizzle for the season. 

My favorite short boots

Maitreya Gold Shearling Boots in Black

Still my favorite boots.  I used to build outfits around a shirt or pants I wanted to wear, matching the shoes along the way.  These boots from Maitreya changed that for me.  I get an itch to wear these Shearling Boots in Black....sassy, full of attitude.  THEN I look for the clothes that I want to show the boots off with.  Beautiful bright sunny snowy day outside my house, these boots were perfect as I trudged around looking at the holiday decorations the neighbors had put up.  

I have to also tell you that come nice weather or inside my house barefoot, I have the prettiest feet in SL.  The Bare Feet by Maitreya are outstanding.  HIGHLY recommended.  Those will have to be featured in a future blog but while you pop by Maitreya to check out the shearling boots, at LEAST take a demo of the bare feet. 

New makeup I'm showing off

*VoguE* is coming out with a new dramatic makeup set for the season.  In particular, I love the RED....2C it is.  Yes.....red snowflakes....a light layer of white behind, but c'mon!  This is the season we wear so much red, cute stylized Santa jackets....the red snowflakes are unusual and F.U.N.  Keep your eyes open......
