Apple May Designs just released some super sexy (very short) tied crop tops that show a lot of underboob. Find them in the main AMD store. Cae is participating in The Mix event this month with these simple charm necklaces, like this mustache. If you get the collection, you can wear one necklace and change the charm into any of 10 charms via HUD. They are each 145L and the whole collection is only 395L for all 10- that's a great deal. 

      

      Truth sent out a Free group gift, Louisa. If you missed it you can get it re-delivered in the subscriber terminal in the main Truth store. I love this cute slightly side ponytail. Thanks Truth!

     I had these pictures taken before the weekend, so it is funny to me that I actually did run away to a casino for a girl's fun weekend. I had a great time and I suggest that as a course of action for everyone! I am back and let's just dive right back into SL because there have been so many great releases and I feel way behind in covering them. Neve released these 3/4 sleeve crop top sweaters and mini- button up skirts for the Mix event so you can find them at the main Neve store. There are four texture HUDS- each with four different textures in them- that are available for both the top and skirt. As always these are made in fitmesh for Maitreya, Slink, and Belleza. Super cute- so make a plan to visit Neve soon. 

     My side pony braid is new by Doe at the current round of uber. Doe hairstyles have always had the ability to wear different textures on the left and right side of the hair or solid (like shown) as well as dipped versions included with every color pack. 

My suitcase poses are new by Nantra at Designer Showcase November round specially priced at $195L for the duration of event! You get 6 poses with mirrors and mesh suitcase props ready to attach to your avatar so you don't need to rez to be able to use these poses either which makes them easier to use if you are out and about in SL. I hope I packed enough for the weekend....=)

     

     I have tried a bunch of mesh heads and they never felt like me. From the moment I tried on the new Catwa Jessica mesh head, it felt like me. I have always said that I would not buy a mesh head until it had normal (not downturned or oddly shaped) lips and expressions. I found both of those and so much more in the new Catwa Jessica Mesh Head. I love it! I made a video showing this head and have more pictures to include in this blog post as well. I hope you enjoy watching/ looking at them. Here is a collage I made with all of the cute expressions that come with this head. 

     So cute! I also played with the makeup layers in the WoW head applier that I am wearing as well as some of the included eyeliner in the Catwa Hud so you can see both the expression and some makeup variation that is available in this mesh head. Next, I am going to add my video of the Catwa Jessica Mesh Head Review. 

Kirsten's Catwa Jessica Head Product Review Video

alterego Tiana Caramel Catwa Head Applier

      This alterego collage really shows how you can make this head your own with the addition of your favorite skin applier. A skin applier can really change the look of the head. So far alterego has made this applier in caramel and also in the powder skin tone. I am hoping for a honey skin tone applier soon (since that is my favorite alterego skin tone). 

     Here is my full body look for today. I am wearing the new Neve embrace dress that is part of the Mix event this month. This dress comes in four diffenent texture options and each one comes with a four texture change hud as well. I show that in my video after the Catwa head review. My shoes are new by Livalle at the SaNaRae event. These high wedges are available in 11 colors. You can see these in my video as well and a close up of some of the features like the materials enabled textures. 

     Well, I am officially mesh from head to toe now! I have heard that Pink Fuel will be releasing appliers this weekend, although I have not seen them yet- just some tempting teaser pictures in plurk so far. It is on the LOGO mesh head in those plurk pictures, but I really hope it will be Omega compatible so I can wear it with my Catwa head too. I can't wait to get a pink fuel skin on this head! I want a Glam Affair one too! I am Catwa head/ skin crazy right now,lol. Seriously though skin makers- make Omega head appliers. Both Catwa and Logo are now Omega compatible. 

      I feel like I have been waiting on the male version of Slink Physique for Hiram forever. I think that is mainly because I wanted him to have it so badly! We went and bought it on it's release day, but then had to wait for skin makers to start making appliers, lol, because neither of us can be bothered to tint the old fashioned way (although you CAN if you want to with this body). As of today I know of these (regular, human) skinners making appliers for Slink and/or Omega that will work with the body: Adam N Eve, Birth, Navaro, 7 Deadly Skins, and Tableau Vivant. One of Hiram's favorite skins, Hermony, suddenly closed- without much notice or warning to it's skin customers. It was a shock to us when we went to look for a Slink applier and the store was gone. I think it was a very poor business decision on the creator's part because I really think he would be selling tons of appliers and skins this week with the release of the Slink male body. 

     I really love the shape of the Slink Male body and the smooth edges and curves. It is so nice to have Hiram in a mesh body too. The one difficulty we have found so far is that his clothing is not fitting his new body very well. I was really surprised by that because when I first bought my slink physique I was able to wear pretty much all of my clothing with alphas and an occasional slight shape tweak. Hiram's clothing is not fitting so significantly that a shape tweak won't be enough. The waist area of all his pants is way to huge and trying to adjust his shape is not working. Also his shoulder and neck area is not working with clothing well either. So far, we have had little luck getting his previous standard size clothing to fit. The pants he has on (in the first picture) are brand new fitmesh made specifically for the Slink body from Lapointe and Bastchild. They work really well with the body and we can't wait for more designers to make more fitmesh for Slink too. Hiram, in his usual amazing self while taking everything in stride, said, "Time to get a whole new wardrobe."

Slink Physique Male Tips:

      NanTra is at Designer Showcase this month with a series of couple poses called, Peace, Love, and Wine. You can see all three in this post because I really like these cute romantic picnic poses and I wanted to take pictures with Hiram and his sexy new mesh body (woohoo). My Kaithleen's dress is new and can be found in 12 colors or patterns at the 24 event. This original mesh dress comes with a fitmesh size for Maitreya and Physique mesh bodies. Finally my simple and cute fortune cookie necklace is by Cae and an exclusive item for this month's Mix event. Happy shopping!

     OMG Gacha starts July 10th and I have seen a lot of great previews. AlterEgo has two new skins at the event, one in honey and one in caramel skin tones. I am wearing janae in honey skin tone in this post. This is a beautiful skin so make sure you check it out when OMG Gacha opens in a few days. 

        Look at all the great makeups that will be available in this machine! Gacha is a great way to get skins, imo, because it is usually a lot more inexspensive than buying them normally. You just have to try your luck to see which ones you get and if you are a Gacha addict like me- that just makes it more fun! These skins come with brown brows (shown), dark brows, and no brow options. Good Luck at OMG Gacha!
