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

[vitrine]

HOPPY Easter!  I'm over-the-moon tickled today because the Maitreya Spring '14 collection has arrived. And the topping on this already delicious Sunday (sundae pun - oh yes I did!), would be the fact I won the Maitreya Window Dresser Contest. *squeals* My window dressing is currently on display at the mainstore. I hope you love it as much as we do!

Onyx Leshelle, the owner of Maitreya launched a contest in July 2013 searching for people to dress the large window display at the mainstore.  This contest was so much fun, I always have been a vitrine lover and this was a great opportunity to put my creative skills to the test. Although,  please don't ask Onyx about my stick-man drawings. I'm sure you'll only induce giggle fits.

The best part though is the fact you can still enter!   So put on your thinking caps and get on it people! The winner receives 25,000L in store credit and the opportunity for their signed work to be in the window display. Yes I'm still squealing in delight!

On a side note, I really would like to thank Onyx and Beau for the opportunity. I had an amazing time working with you both. It felt truly collaborative and especially enlightening. Much love to you both!

Of course the contest is just amazing, but that's not the only reason you should stop by... there is a fabulously new VIP group gift and TONS of new releases. The shoes above are wonderful, not only because of the new Maitreya Skin Match HUD but also the option of using your SLink feet.  So grab the new releases while they are hot on the shelves. Be prepared though, as your arms will be dragging the ground with all the loot you'll be carrying home. 

The lovely Onyx Leshelle offers a little insight into her musical inspirations, her favorite band is Hiatus Kaiyote, and the song Mobius Streak really inspired this vitrine. Hope you enjoy it too!  Listen [HERE] to Mobius Streak.

"I'm coming at you like a dark horse..."  Are you ready for the January edition of Collabor88?  It's filled to the brim with delicious vintage-y pieces with a sensual edge.  I fell in love with the offering from Maitreya. It's not exactly meant to be worn this way*, but who could resist something so divinely sexy.

The new edition has just been open a few days so be patient my little chicakdees, you'll get in soon enough!

As always, I'll share a little music for you to enjoy, it's been on repeat while I worked on this post.

The Arcade [Dreams]

The Arcade is open and in full swing! Hopefully you all have been able to make it in and collect some fabulous goodies. One of my favorite collections is from the queen of adorable, Azure Electricteeth of Tee*fy.

The ZZZ collection has some uber cute pieces, like the Fluffy Sheep Hat and of course the Lop Eared Bunny Plushie. The collection has an adorable factor times one billion!  The .click. Pillow Fight set was a great way to showcase my new sleep set.

For us in the US it's our last day of a fabulously long weekend to celebrate Labor Day, and although I should be getting ready for dream land I find myself kicking and screaming hoping tomorrow won't come! *sticks tongue out* Boo work!

The Arcade opened September 1, 2013!  Be sure to LIKE The Arcade's Facebook Page for updates and join the group inworld. For the full Shopping Guide - Click HERE!

[Summertime]

It's SUMMERTIME! Filled with hours of sun, relaxation and friends. Go grab your swimsuits and enjoy the perfect weather of SL. Today's post features the The Verona Pool by Nardya Rousselot of The Loft.

Boe Cortes joins me again to hangout and grab a few rays!  The pool comes with quite a few couple and single sits. The poses are great for photos for just hanging out.

Pixel Mode made this fabulous float! With built in animations you are all set for a lazy Sunday in the pool. It was available from The Liaison Collaborative this past cycle and is now at their mainstore.

[Hair Fair] 2013 Part II

Sassy & Attitude

 More coverage from love&fashion BLOG for Hair Fair 2013! Keeping up with the trends of releases has been so much fun. Lots of new styles that fit any mood, like sassy attitude, fierce alternative and girly poshness.

Urban & Fierce

I really fell in love with a few hairs one being an amazing FREEBIE from Emotions, the color options of ISON, and the collection of edgy shaved styles from Adoness.  With all of the really fabulous releases, it was hard to choose. So, I'm really just hitting the highlights here.  If anyone leaves Hair Fair with a linden to their name, I'll be shocked!

Girlie & Posh

Hair Fair is open to the public - if you want to plan ahead, it's probably a good idea to check out the DEMO group so you can map your attack!  Check out the Hair Fair blog for more details. Tons of proceeds from Hair Fair go directly to the Wigs for Kids charity! Shop PEOPLE!

*All photos are completely RAW/unedited from SL - only cropped and placed in layout.

[Can't Stop]

 Mice are invading Second Life® courtesy of the uber talented Systi and Syane Cisse, designer duo of [sYs]. The new [MousYs] ClubWear collection launched today with a party at GOL.  It was very cool to see everyone partying with their [MousYs] ears!

 The collection is themed with an alien mice motif in tribal, skulls, union jack and DJ patterns. The sisters outdid themselves. You'll find tanks, tees, jeans, shorts, skirts, dresses, shoes, sunglasses, and necklaces! For girls and guys, there is something for everyone!

Thank you also to the lovely Mavi Beck of MaVie for sending over some fabulous poses that are now available for Lazy Sunday at her Mainstore. 

I was very honored to model and also shoot the collection advertisement featuring the [sYs] models! [Yes, I was in a hot model sandwich - jealous?]

It's been a super busy couple of months but I'm finally getting my groove back! Expect to see more posts coming.  And to all that need some fun music, I'm loving this remix of MIley Cyrus' We Can't Stop ---- TUNEAGE

[Pia]

Just a super quick post to share another love post for the new Pia skirt from [LeeZu!]. I keep finding excuses to wear it, so I thought I'd share. I've paired with the AMAZING studded jacket from Baiastice. Which, BTW comes with great HUD to change the inner shirt and stud textures.

 Lately I've been a kid in a candy store with all the new releases from the amazing events happening in SL! I feel like I'll float away on a happy cloud of awesomeness! Today, I'm sharing some new finds from The Liaison Collaborative and TDR Fusion. Both opened TODAY!

Belleza's new Mya skin is a STUNNER! It's sexy and girl-next-door all at the same time. I love the nose on this one, and my new fav. This version is exclusively available at The Liaison Collaborative Boutique.

The beautiful dress and pumps with stockings are newness from Baiastice! I am in love with both and imagine I'll be floating around all weekend through the clouds!

[BOUND]

When you find something you love, it inspires you! The Pia leather skirt from LeeZu has had me a wee bit style crazy! Also, I'm just still in love with the new Fei skin from Elysium coming March 15th to Skin Fair 2013. (See the last style with both HERE).

Also well the new Angelina strappy corset pumps from GOS Boutique are a dream.  I sort of got "wrapped" up in the theme of bondage and restraint. LeeZu's BDSM line was a great inspiration and pieces from that collection helped accent the look.

The collar corset is a Marketplace find from this brilliant shop named ROSAL. It's a very roleplay oriented style but the collar in no other word is AMAZING. The full fat pack version is tintable, and you can adjust every aspect of the colors on the mesh collar. Check it out!

[cherry]Blossom

 Spring is a time for beauty. Nothing signifies spring to me more than Cherry Blossoms. We have the most stunning trees here and when they bloom you are surround by ethereal wonder.  It's fitting the first installment of The Liaison Collaborative used these as inspiration.

The first monthly cycle of TLC's Boutique opens March 15th and runs until April 10th. You'll love the parasol from Picture This! and the cherry blossoms from HISpose.  I really adored the new Keiko Silk Top from 22769 and the earrings from EarthStones.  You'll be tickled pink and green with all the pretty things!

If you are in search of the perfect ethereal skin, look no further than Alchemy! They've released a special edition pink brow version of their Elfin skin exclusively at Skin Fair 2013. Be sure to check it out along with all of other great new skins when it opens on March 15th.

[simple]

 I'm in love. LOVE. L O V E. Her name is Nea.  It's a beautiful mesh avatar head from Snow Rabbit. It's a fully animated head and honestly a photo doesn't capture her wonderful beauty. She blinks, smiles and just is...simply beautiful. She is brand new and available only at Skin Fair 2013!

Be sure to check out the very sweet Odette dress from World's End Garden. It's an exclusive design for Fashion For Life 2013! You have to pick it up before the event closes on March 16th.

Skin Fair 2013 opens March 15th! You all will fall in love with all the great finds!

This year, The Skin Fair will take place from Friday, March 15, through Sunday, March 31. The fair will showcase new and exclusive skins from over 80 of your favorite designers from around the grid. We have been careful to include skins that would appeal to everyone including male and female skins, child skins, fantasy skins, and even mesh avatars!

The fair covers two sims this year which is good news for everyone because that means more people can shop at once. We will be enforcing a strict script policy at the fair. Please come in as little as possible but as the sims are PG, please make sure that all private parts are covered. Detach all objects that you may be wearing. This will allow for a better shopping experience for all. There will be a lag free outfit dropped in the Skin Addiction group and the Skin Fair 2013 group before the fair begins. If you do not have your own lag free items to wear, feel free to grab the outfit from the notices and wear it.

To keep up to date on the events of the skin fair, you can join the Skin Fair 2013 group. We will be making announcements in that group as well as the Skin Addiction Group. Please copy and paste the following link into your SL browser to join the Skin Fair 2013 group here.

We are looking forward to an amazing skin fair this year and hope to see you there! Doors will open March 15 at 12:01am. The location will be announced at a later time. It is sure to be the event of the year so don’t miss it!

Happy Shopping!
