Right after coming out with Eams Modern Home, NOTsoBAD, released a new skybox. The Bow Apartment Skybox is nothing short of amazing. The shadows, the build, the texture work…love. Actually, let me just be quiet and show you some pictures…
I am not normally the kind of girl you can put in a box but since this is SL….
Sway Dench from Sway’s Design was sweet enough to send over one of her latest releases, swAyNimation – Art’Box and I love it. You have 10 choices of colors for inside the box, but I picked white for all three of my pics. You don’t have to be as boring as I am though! Go crazy with it..pick a pink, blue, purple, yellow, etc color! Also 6 different poses, not just the three I am showing.
Oh, let me tell you about my shorts. Kyoot has very cool micro pants with wide belts in different colors. You need these. So sexy. Speaking of sexy…someone please tell me why I have not been to DE in ages? What was I thinking? A few years ago, I used to go there pretty regularly and looking back…many of those things hold up in regards to how well made they are. The top I am wearing is the DE Roxy Leather Shirt and it screamed … YOU NEED ME…when I walked by it..so who am I to resist? I’m not.
Boots…Stellar makes very very cute winter boots. Did you think Lexi Morgan was all about the short skirts and hot ass outfits? WRONG. She makes boots, hair, jewelry, eyes, skins, shoes and makeup tattoo layers. Have you been to her newly remodeled sim? It is made to look like NYC and they did a….stellar job. Shush, don’t judge me.

We did it…we survived the week. I have to be honest and say that there were moments I wasn’t sure if Friday was ever going to come. I owe my survival of this week to cold meds and Lifetime channel. Okay and ice cream.

I am going to cheat today with my blog picture…and you can see why, right?
In the middle of putting an outfit together to blog, my lovely friend Leah McCullough of Naive and of Leah McCullough Photography decided to cheer me up after a pretty blah day and take a picture of us together. Um…YES. I have to say that she was very patient with me while I made dinner (ordered pizza) and sat down for a lovely meal (in front of the tv) and cleaned up (threw away the paper plates and gave crusts to the pugs). I adore the picture, it came out awesome and literally once I got my act together..it took her like 15 minutes tops to take it.
Leah is a vision of beauty…as always and I have her style credits listed down there. If you are wanting a portrait taken, do not be shy..simply IM her and she will get you all set up!
The VERY lovely Alysha Rennahan our latest Guest Blogger in her own words…
Alysha Rennahan is approaching her fourth rez day in SL and I can’t believe she is that old.
After working in a club as a host and then a manager, I finally started a blog after a late night makeover. And I haven’t looked back. I love SL for its endless creativity in all things – mainly fashion. I love SL for allowing me the ability to meet and connect with so many different people that I would never have otherwise in any other way.
And I love SL for bringing me the love of my life, both SL and RL. If not for SL, I would not be with the man I love with all my heart and soul.
Thank you all of SL – from Linden to resident – for being so amazing in creating the environment I have loved for four years and counting…
************************************
So here I am. And if you know me or know my blog, you are probably expecting purpleness. Who am I to disappoint? 
I’ve had a few people ask why I am a purple fanatic. Hard to explain. Maybe it can be found in some of things purple represents, courtesy of About.com:
Purple is royalty. A mysterious color, purple is associated with both nobility and spirituality. The opposites of hot red and cool blue combine to make this intriguing color.
So how do I interpret this? I am very much a “middle” person. I prefer to hear both sides of the story and draw my own conclusions from that. The “middle” of the hot red angry person and the cool blue, not taking anything serious person. I don’t consider myself snobby and above others (the royalty and nobility thing), but I like to consider myself rather deep and thoughtful, wanting to help other fulfill their needs.
I dunno. Am I rambling at this point? What does this have to do with fashion? And SL?
Simple.
SL fashion has unbelievable depth and possibilities, restricted only by the extents of people’s imaginations and skills.
It is forever changing. It is forever youthful. It is forever energetic.
I can be hot and sultry one day and relaxed and comfy the next, without having to do a pile of laundry in between.
Deep in thought now? Good. I’ve accomplished my goal. Think on that!
Think on that!Now for the fashion yummies….

If you would like to advertise in our September issue please contact Felicity Blumenthal (felicityblumenthal@yahoo.com).
I love bright colors…the brighter, the bolder- the better. Plum is one of my faves, especially in lingerie. Now, let me just say that I rarely wear lingerie in SL because…well, there is no one to see me in it. Don’t feel sorry for me, I do have a lingerie audience in that other life I lead.
This lovely set is from Phoenix Rising and it is so lush and rich looking. Ashoka really does an awesome job with lingerie…when she dropped it on me she mentioned that since this is SL, I can wear it anywhere. So true. Now if I only I had the nerve to do so. <3 I am being a bit of a tease though, because it is not available quite yet..but be patient..it will be worth it.
The gorgeous skin I am wearing is the Gina 02 skin from Tuli that is a Dressing Room exclusive! Last time it was Gina01, which was in for two weeks. I think this one is up now…go take a look and pick up the newness.
Jewelry? Well…Zaara of course. Did you take advantage of her 50% of sale? I hope so…I know I did.
Hair….Truth. That guy just knows his stuff.
