[CheerNo]

I felt like getting funky so I headed out shopping and wound up at [CheerNo]. I haven’t been to the new sim since [dekade.] and [CheerNo] partnered.


pose: ..::DARE::.. Field Flower

I was looking around [CheerNo FEMME] for something to put together when I decided to see what they had for men and Viola!! I thought I’d try the men’s outfits!! I had a little chat with Phelipe Varriale, the [CheerNo] blogger, asking him what the men’s clothing would look like on a female AV and he said go for it…so I did!!


pose: ..::DARE::.. White – Bumness

I swear, I couldn’t choose what design I wanted.. skimming through the top row of the Haute Couture Collection I decided on two … the Tyler and the Mortifera. I pieced together a mixture of both and accessorized with a men’s hair leaving my feet and skin for the Femme Collection.

The sim is easy to maneuver around in, outfits are displayed in cam friendly way and I have to say, I LOVE….just Love the skins…make more Kira!!! There is a nice variety of make up choices making it hard to pick just one so I bought all the fat packs for L$600 each… WOW!!


pose: ..::DARE::.. Tight Rope Balance

Take a stroll over the [CheerNo] and [CheerNo FEMME] to find what you can’t live without!! I promise, you won’t be disappointed.

FM Shoes – R&B Boogienights Stiletto

Another delivery came my way…this time from Norman Maroon of FM Shoes, and if you think really hard… yes F.M. Shoes, think a little sleezier and you’ll get the reference.

So anyhoo, Normie is releasing a new stiletto in the next 24 hours.. called “R&B Boogienights” and I have to say, these are the easiest HUD driven shoes to match my RGB’s with. There are 10 skin presets to work with, a direct input if you already know your numbers and 40 toes nail polishes including French manicures.

Normie sends a detailed NC explaining how to use the HUD and offers live customer service. I absolutely love FM Shoes and even kinda like the owner as well too :~ I was also told there is a little special surprise going on in the store so you’ll have to visit to find out.

http://slurl.com/secondlife/Mercy/ 203/206/2054

The R&B Boogienights comes in 6 fun colors- there will be no way you can’t find a short little dress to strut around in.

So, I am calling it a night, my fingers are just too tired to type another word.

From the streets of SL, paz y amor…

Call for Couture Festival 2010

So this is how my Tuesday afternoon went, shopping, lunch, chit chat, shopping, snack, nap and then shopping. Why so much shopping you ask? Because I have a problem. And yes, i do admit I am an addict because I LOVE FREEKIN AWESOME CLOTHES!!!!!

My trip de jour consisted of grabbing my spend-a-holic girlfriend Reign Congrejo and two new and awesome friends, Aisling and Suri… boy, oh boy, did we tear it up at the Call for Couture Festival 2010. This is organized by the event planning company that put on the Black and Blue Fair (June 2010), the Summer of Love Fair (July 2010) and the Platinum Hunt (August 2010). Take the link to see the what it is you NEED to have in your inventory http://slurl.com/secondlife/Project%20Donate/164/96/38.

There are 150 brands with many to bid on a one- of- a- kind item ranging from skins, to Haute Couture to jewelry. From the auction items, 50% of the final sales proceeds will go to The Samaritans, a RL 24/7 charity group assisting “people who are experiencing feelings of distress or despair, including those which could lead to suicide”. If you’d like more information please follow the link … http://www.samaritans.org

This event will be more than happy to take your lindens until October 31st so you still have time to check it out and place bids on the auctioned items… otherwise there is a nice selection of awesome things to click, buy and go.

I have a few nice mix and match outfits that I absolutely had to have or die!! I am definitely not done spending lindens yet, so maybe I’ll see you there…

The Dressing Room

So it’s 2:15am and I have received my 10th notice about this place called “The Dressing Room“. I figured I’d stop by before logging and check it out… a quick look and I’m off to bed. Fat’s chance in hell. I spent over an hour there. In designer heaven *wiping the drool from my chin*

It starts off like this… typical rezz lag… then BAM!! Nothing but wall to wall well known names…. AOHARU, [GLOW] Studio, So Many Styles, Shade Throne and one of my favorite designers to date… Mimikri hot couture, to name a few….

I finally rezzed in and started camming around… I got dizzy from all the perving I was doing… 22 people here and the notices just came out?? The decor is a muted green with worn wood floors and light filtering windows at 2502 meters high and perfectly place chairs. As my camera moves around the room I see “The Dressing Room, discount shop created by fabulous designers”, my heart skips a beat…. crap, I have to make a stop at “The Bank of RL”. With a percentage rate of Zero and a shopping habit that sends my inventory into the 50,000+ you know I borrow often!!!

Hey!! what’s this, how come I don’t know A&A Fashion? and LG Concept? WTF!! It’s on…. chaChing, chaChing… I’m all about supporting SL’s economy. Are you serious? A cookie jar… a red cookie jar? Wait, hold on, BRB- hungry now.

Back…with cookies in hand, LOL. What’s this??? interesting ad from CheerNo*. A naked man with a silver/black horned cap? Nice, gotta photo this if the girl with the bright facelight would ever move. I’ll just cam on…. umm, do we still use facelights here in SL? Moving on….

Basically, I bought one of everything! If you have an hour or so to spare, I suggest you check out “The Dressing Room“… and load up the ole Linden account before you get there.

Original and inspiring…. Maniera Magazine

Hallie Genira founded the magazine, Maniera Magazine, in November 2008. After leaving the company she officially reigned in early January 2009. When Topaz Joubert took over  in January 2009 Maniera Magazine became credible and informative. The magazine was first divided into two portions to create appeal to a larger target of the SL community; the magazine was established followed by  Maniera Model Management. Afterwards, a third section was made, the Maniera Institute of Style was created.
The Maniera Model Management differs from the mainstream agencies in Second Life, choosing to condone status and fame, in search for fresh faced, dedicated models, with something impressive and rather unique to bring to the table. The school is connected to the modeling agency, some of the  students who attend the school have a chance to be  placed into the modeling agency. Maniera selects students who have dedication and talent to participate.
While writing this piece I thought I should head to the head quaters in world and explore. As I first entered, the building looked intriguing and elegant, the photography and layout was outstanding and the head quaters was organized and stylish which was quite stimulating.
The magazine portion is laid out colorfully and appealing, with a great use of outstanding visuals. I was able to chat with Nox Deigan, Editor-In-Chief and ask him a few questions about the magazine.
Q: In your opinion, what sets Maniera Magazine apart from the rest?
Nox Deigan: Maniera Magazine began as the underdog.  The only thing we had was a vision.. and pretty much nothing else.  We started with nothing and created something.  There were no financial backers early on when we were getting started.  Many of the management agreed to work for free because we each believed in what we were doing.  We still do.  Recently, one of our featured designers told us that we were the magazine with a heart in Second Life.  We set our standards high and sometimes that can be difficult for our staff and for ourselves, but in the end.. it produces something that we can all be proud of.
Ql: What’s in the future for Maniera?
Nox Deigan: Last year was about working on our product.  This year, we are working on our branding; our marketing.  Finding marketing professionals in Second Life to work with our magazine has been difficult, mostly because many marketing firms in Second Life charge RL prices which we can’t pay right now (we operate in SL currency) or they’re not very knowledgeable about magazine marketing.  Most of the marketing for Maniera has come from myself, my photo editor AtomicSparkle Skytower and our CEO Topaz Joubert.  We did a great job last year.. and now we’re hoping to make it even more successful.
Nox Deigan: However, the big thing to note is that word-of-mouth marketing does wonders.. which means we utilize our readership, and we very much appreciate all they do for us.
Maniera Magazine definitely has exciting plans for the future. The magazine has a great dedicated team behind the scene that makes publication unique and long lasting.

BMX Love

How can you not love this bike?!?!? It has 5 poses set in and 3 color options. When you purchase it at Diesel Works you also get a vine wall with 3 pose variations. Another reason I love this store is that by joining the group I save money on the fatpacks with the group discount. So grab your partner and find the closest bike path :D
