Belleza Venus Mesh Body - Raw Image from Second Life (cropped/watermark only)

 Hey guys! Today is a big day, in case you haven't heard...the Belleza Venus Mesh Body was released!! I've had this body for a little while now and thought I could share some tips and tricks. Hope this answers a few questions for those not sure about mesh avatars and also I shared some insight into making it work best for your avatar.

WARNING: There is some pixel nudity that begins around the 6 minute mark.  It's full frontal for about 1 minute,  so I can show the push up breast option.  After that it continues with off/on bare breasts to show fitting clothing until  the nudity ends at the 11 minute mark.

If you want to see the HD version please check it out on screencast! 

This was my VERY first video, so please be kind.  I had a lot of fun putting it together and I'm totally open to doing more. If there is something I missed, let me know I'm happy to answer questions or even do a Part II.

Be safe out there my little fashionistas the sim at Belleza is jam packed but it's worth the wait!

Happy Shopping!

Love, Vi

I feel as if everything is going in slow motion as the rest of the world speeds by. It seems like yesterday we just had the first whisper of spring, then suddenly the pretty blooms are disappearing as May is here already.  Maybe there is never enough time.

Speaking of time, the final days of the April round of Collabor88 are here. You have a couple of days left to pick up your favorite finds at some bargain prices before the new round begins May 8th.

Oh I picked up a really basic WACOM tablet last month and I've been practicing more with my drawing. It's really easy to use, just taking some time to master.  I picked mine up on Amazon, for just under $100. It's great for adding hair, and making more precise lines of highlight.  I still use my mouse to smooth/liquify.

My musical inspiration for this post comes from a new to me band, PHOX.  The song "Slow Motion" is a little piece of spring-time heaven.

Nena Janus has outdone herself with the new Erin release for Skin Fair 2014. It's a show-stopper of a skin and it was love at first sight for me.  My favorite feature of her skin pack is the TINTABLE lipstick layers, yes they are MODIFY and your options to tint are endless. It really makes the skin unique and a great value.

There are tons of newness at Skin Fair just around the corner. Stay tuned for some of my fav picks from this year's event. Skin Fair will open Friday, March 14, 2014. Be on the look out for SLURLS at that time.

As always I'm sharing a little tune with you all.

Be safe out there my little fashionistas! The world is full of great finds, shop responsibly!

[Shoetopia '13]

SHOETOPIA 2013 opens to the public November 15, 2013. This event is guaranteed to make even the most reluctant shopper go crazy.  You'll be able to take a walk in the clouds while shopping in 'shoe heaven.'  Hope they will be accepting bad girls this year because shoes are my addiction and I'm ready to go on a binge!!

SHOETOPIA 2013, The long awaited return of the 'premiere shoe event' in Second Life is set to open on Friday, November 15th, 2013.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Press Contact: Anessa Stine

November 12, 2013 — Announced way back in January of this year, SHOETOPIA is the reincarnation of the most popular footwear event in Second Life, SHOE FAIR, which has been missing in action since June 2011. Now, almost 10 months since it was announced, SHOETOPIA 2013 is set to open on the 15th of this month with an ethereal build by Artist Rebeca Bashly, that promises to have you in Shoe Heaven! Excited designers and shoe lovers alike, have delighted at the promise of a 'New Kind of Shoe Fair', and the anticipation has been building steadily as opening day draws closer.

Conceived by long time Event Coordinators, Business Managers and Second Life Fashion Bloggers, Sophia Harlow and Anessa Stine, SHOETOPIA is their first collaborative effort combining a mutual love of fashion, respect for ingenuity and quality, and desire to create a memorable and special annual event to fill the void in the Second Life event calendar created when SHOE FAIR failed to take place in 2012. Says Sophia, "When the thought dawned on me that there needed to be a footwear event in Second Life again, there was only one person that I approached. Anessa has always been a 'Shoe Girl', and her creative vision was the perfect compliment to my detail oriented planning skills and excellent relationships with many SL Creators." Both Sophia and Anessa are thankful to the many volunteers who are dedicated to making this event a success.

Carrying on the tradition of it predecessor, SHOETOPIA has selected the charity organization Soles4Souls as its 'Sole' beneficiary. This is a charity that touches all shoe lovers, an organization that not only supports those in need domestically, in North America, but also those met with disaster around the world. Says Anessa, "An organization that puts shoes on the feet of underprivileged children so they can attend schools, allows domestic abuse victims to have a second chance at entering the workforce in style, creates jobs in the most needy of communities, and uses the slogan 'every shoe deserves a Second Life', it could not be a more worthy or appropriate organization to benefit from all of our efforts." The timing of SHOETOPIA could not be more advantageous to Soles4Souls, already hard at work preparing to assist those affected by the recent storms in the Philippines and Southeast Asia, each participating designer will be offering up an item that will see 100% of its proceeds go directly to Soles4Souls.

With more than 50 of Second Life's most talented footwear designers, and dozens of incredible contributing gacha designers, there will something for everyone on this stroll through the clouds. Major Sponsors; Slink, Gos Boutique, Just Design and LaRoo, and additional sponsors; ISON, KOSH, lassitude & ennui, House of London, KoiKoi, fri.day, sYs, House of Fox, Glam Affair, G Field, Valiant and ViveNine/Ryvolter, will all be releasing new items at SHOETOPIA, as will each and every one of the participants. Says Anessa, "The response from designers has been so positive, we are overwhelmed by the quality of the footwear at this event."

SHOETOPIA will be pleased to welcome all of you to visit our slice of 'Shoe Heaven' between November 15th and 30th of this year, in what promises to be the first of many 'Shoetopian' events to come!

Super quick post to share the new Hanami headpiece from Glam Affair! It's a stunning accessory for any look but I had a lot of fun finding pieces to mix with it. Yay for the Cheerno wingies! A totally random find in my inventory and I do love how it worked randomly with this look!

Happy Shopping!

[Shadow] of Your Heart

A falling star fell from your heart

And landed in my eyes

I screamed aloud, as it tore through them

And now it's left me blind

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out

You left me in the dark

No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight

In the shadow of your heart

And in the dark, I can hear your heartbeat... [FW]

Caged in [LeeZu] BDSM

The lure of lingerie has to be the doors it opens to sexual fantasy. LeeZu Baxter's new collection entitled BDSM not only opens the doors... it closes them. It is fun to explore the darker side of sex through imagery. A cage seemed very fitting.

Style Card:
Head Piece - LeeZu - Covetousness in Black
Outfit - LeeZu - Diamond Addict in Black
Jewelry - LeeZu Diamond Addict in Black
Skin - Redgrave - Trinity Daylight
