and even forgetting still has a shape in the kingdom of transformation.
When something’s let go of it circles,
and though we are rarely the center of the circle,
it draws around us it’s unbroken, marvelous curve.

I am adorned in elegant new rags from Plastik today. Seriously, how cool is this Ellantha dress? Jagged strips of fabric and fishnet, laced and bound and draped. Throw in a fishtail hem, and you’re pretty much guaranteed my adoration.
I’ve been all about some Exile hair lately, I know. It’s a grievous oversight on my part that I haven’t gushed over them more in the past, and I am in the process of correcting this with much gusto. This hair reminds me of those sunflower costumes you see kids wearing sometimes, like a big poof in the front with your face sticking out of the middle.

There are, however, notable exceptions. And the upcoming WILD.Released stamp hunt is a big one. It’s the brainchild of Faery Sola (of Studio Sidhe,) so that should tell you something about it right there. If you haven’t heard of it, head over to the WILD.Released blog to learn more and get all excited with me. It’s a small hunt, with some of my absolute favorite SL artists participating. And let me tell ya, the prizes that I’ve seen are absolutely top notch.
I get the honor of showing you two of the upcoming prizes. First up is the amazing Lysi set from ~silentsparrow~
(You had me at “steampunk silks.”)
And here is the stunning Magma Crown from [][]Trap[][].
Are you excited yet?
The WILD.Released Hunt will run from March 20th to April 18th.
Hey, here’s that Blog link again, where you can find a list of participants and detailed instructions on how to play. —–> WILD.Released Blog

To have one of your favorite creators design an outfit with you in mind is an honor. For it to be so spot-on as something you’d love, and drop-dead gorgeous, is fully squee-worthy. What I’m trying to say here is: ZOMG HYA MADE AN OUTFIT NAMED AFTER ME AND IT’S AAAWWWESOMEEE!
*coughs*
In so many words.
The Mourna set from Silent Sparrow is part dancing silks, part burlesque. I love the sleek, velvety, button-up corset, the subtle little ruffles peeping out, the fingerless gloves, and so many other great little details. And it is available in Hyasynth’s usual complement of rich colors that make it impossible to choose a favorite.
I’m wearing another one of the beautiful new Mosaic skins from Nomine. And to complete the circle of my vanity, I had no choice but to choose one of the Mourna makeup styles.
I’m going to wrap this up, before I have to start resizing my hair to fit on my gigantic head.

I adore a good textile pattern in SL, so these new Olive sweater dresses from Ducknipple had me frothing at the ads. They come in a variety of stripes and colors, so you should definitely check them out. I love Ducknipple for their lovely textures, and for their prim clothing and accessories that always fit me perfectly right out of the box. Belts, especially, take a good bit of fiddling of linked prims on my part before I can wear them, but what you see here was edited not one bit.
This dress immediately reminded me of the ubiquitous, beloved Old Boots from Shiny Things. I marvel that with all the advancements in sculpts we have now, these boots can still hold their own and hold it well. How many other pairs of shoes from years ago would still look good today?
Also take note - fabulous new skins from Nomine! The Mosaic line is a departure from what I’m used to from Nomine, as they bring a touch more smooth realism. I personally love both styles, but get a hankering for each at different times. And of course these skins come in the Nomine skin tones and makeups that you know and love - including some previously Limited Edition makeups! I’m particularly in love with the lips; just look at how soft and plump they are.
Categories: Accessories, Boots, Mourna Biziou, Skins, Women's ClothingI realized I have all these neat undies that never (and I mean never) get seen by another person. So I decided to blog some of my recent favorites. Brace yourself for gratuitous bum shots.
Since I’m showing so much skin, I decided to make it an interesting one. This is the Manna-Kin skin from MIASNOW, with tintable scales tattoo from HUZ colored to match each cool makeup.
Corset from Rotten Toe, with cute little prim frill and bow attachments. I love how clothes from Rotten Toe seem to accentuate a thicker type avatar
Elegantly deconstructed Valerian undies from Plastik, along with the fab new posture collar. Like everything from Plastik, these are available in a whole slew of rich prints and colors. The collars come plain, with straps, with buckles, or with feathers. I’m really in love with the collar and I’ve been wearing one of them pretty much nonstop since I got my paws on ‘em. It’s divinely sculpted to fit around the neck and shoulder area perfectly.
Ok, this is a bikini. But it could totally be worn as undies. The adorable batkini is available in a billionty colors, and it has these cute little prim ties to really finish it off.
