I tried to be optimistic last year, but now I think it might just be a bad, worse, worst case scenario (20, 21, 22). The CDC just shorted the time period for positive COVID cases to 5 days and Florida had 38,000 new cases of COVID yesterday. There are no plans for any changes, whatsoever and it will just be business as usual and I am worried about the outcome. The apocalypse is just so ssllllooooooooooooooowwww, and I am ready to get off the ride. I hope I am wrong and 2022 turns out to be amazing. 

    If you are going out in SL this year, I suggest these sparkly, glitter dresses from Decoy! They are so cute and festive and there are 12 glitter colors to choose from.

         The current round of Uber still has almost a week left, so make sure you get over there and make your final purchases. My Decoy dress is a new release at Uber. My Essenz boots were just released at The Liaison Collaborative. The boots are knit boots, so kind of like socks and boots all in one and I love how they go with this knit sweater dress. Truth just released this cute shoulder length, choppy hair style, Mitzi. As usual there is a style HUD and there are also two versions making up about 8 hairstyles all in one. Find it in the main Truth store.

My curved, multi-strand necklace is new by Cae at the current round of faMESHed.

        Tannenbaum is a yearly festival that focuses on holiday items and I always love this time of year. I am wearing three new items that you can find exclusively at Tannenbaum: Doe's hair, Decoy's coat, and Eudora 3D's boots. I also stocked up on holiday decorations like this lighted arch from Balaclava that I used to cover my walkway. I am working hard on my new winter themed house and this is a little sneak peak.

        Oh the 70's! My mom's heyday. She graduated from high school in '72 and college in '76. All of the pictures of my mom as a young woman are really in this era and she had the hair and the clothes going on. The bigger the bell bottoms the better. Collabor88 is going back to the 70's this round and there are some amazing retro items at this event. On the left above I am wearing Just Because jeans and on the right my entire outfit is new by Decoy. Get over to Collabor88 and get your groove on.

        Decoy is at The Epiphany with the cutest gacha set! Supercharged is for the Supergirl in all of us. If I was a superhero, I would definitely wear a pink costume. I usually see red or blue for Superheroes, but I would definitely look like my picture today. You can win red, blue, pink (shown), purple, and black. There are 2 Rares and 20 commons. You can win the Rare skirt and cape and common bodysuits, masks, bracers, and boots. This would make an excellent costume for Halloween! Get your Super On!

        I am really starting to get into the Halloween spirit! If you are looking for a great costume idea, what I am wearing today would be perfect for a zombie, dead prom queen, or other macabre costume you want to put together. Decoy released a dress that has a bloody option at Salem. Doe released two spooky hairstyles, Brains (left) and Boo (right), at the Special Halloween Spooktacular October Arcade round. You can wear all of these items later as well because they come with clean (not bloody) versions in your purchase. I hope this inspires you to start putting together your own Halloween costume this year.

        October is finally here! This is my favorite month in Second Life. I love all the spooky places, things-to-do, and apparel. I know that is hard to believe since I am a pink floral girl most of the time, but I genuinely love the change of pace this month always brings for me. I went looking at some Haunted places and I found this one, Seven, which is the setting for a MadPea game. It is rainy and derelict and the perfect setting for a spooky Halloween game.

        I am wearing a bunch of goodies. My Just Because top and Decoy jeans are new releases at Uber. Cae will be releasing this skull jewelry set, perfect for this macabre month, at faMESHed today. Wasabi is releasing this side ponytail hair at the 11th year Anniversary of the store Fallen Gods by Alia Baroque.

        I think of Decoy as mostly a chic clothing store, but really the designer is super talented and does a little bit of everything, clothes, shoes, hair. I really love the blonde textures- which is super important to me in finding hair. Decoy released three new hairstyles at Hair Fair 2018. A portion of the sales for these hairs goes directly to Wigs for Kids. Find Decoy on the Noirette sim at Hair Fair 2018. 

        Kunglers just released a new beaded necklace at Cosmopolitan. There are 5 bead colors to choose from and I am showing 3 of them in this post.

        Hair Fair 2018 opened today. Wasabi is at Hair Fair 2018 with three new hairstyles. I am showing Wasabi Camila (left) and Wasabi Maddie (right) in this post. There is also a male/unisex hair, Cole, that will be coming in another post soon. A portion of the proceeds from all of these hair sales will go directly to Wigs for Kids. That is the really special thing about Hair Fair- it is a charity event. So you get to shop for hot new hairstyles while you donate to a great cause. You can find Wasabi on the Noirette sim at Hair Fair 2018. Check it out before October 7th!

        Kaithleen's released this cute romper at faMESHed. I love the texture change options. Decoy released the Shayla top and scarf (not shown) at Collabor88. Kunglers released the Marianne necklace at We <3 Roleplay.

        In other news, I finally bought my first Lelutka head. I am still working on the shape for this head. That usually takes me weeks to figure out, lol. I am excited to get to wear my Pink Fuel Lelutka skins though! I am wearing the newest release full Pink Fuel skin for Lelutka, Kiera, above on the right.

Things I loved about Studio Exposure: 
They have demos for every makeup set. (I can't tell you how much of a PRO that is. I don't like to buy makeup without a demo!)
The makeup is GORGEOUS!
They make makeup for Catwa, Lelutka, and Fiore.
You can buy makeup individually (150L each) or 600L for a fatpack.
