In the Bleak Late Winter

A belated happy new year to any remaining followers!

We've been hit by an awesome snow storm and I don't care what people say, I LOVE snow!!!

Logging on I found these gorgeous shoes from Nzuri, they come in leather and glittery colours, I've only tried the leather so far but I can bet that they'll be included in future blog posts!

The leggings and dress are new from coldLogic, daring to bare in these chilly months, rather Saff than me!

Faux Fox Fur Kills?!

I love myself a little bit of Collabor88! I also love myself a bit of plurk so when I saw anya.ohmai's picture of what she was to release for collabor88's prom theme I fell in love. She had produced a really quaint set of fox stole's (like what you'd see in the 30's), I forgot all about them until I saw on plurk that people had been griefing the collabor88 creators for this and that and they'd decided to take on ohmai's "a little foxy"  set by accusing her of animal cruelty.

Some people really need to get a life and realise in SL all fox stoles are FAUX as it is pixels...

So I decided to strip of for a good cause, even in Winter I am a die hard Greenpeace supporter so I thought I'd take this opportunity to promote faux fur as it saves many furry cute little animal lives!

Now don't forget it is winter and Saff is enjoying being wrapped up warm

And in the nud it is FREEZING!!!

But it's all for a great cause!

PS I'm Going to DISNEYLAND PARIS ON MONDAY!

Who says red heads....

can't wear pink?!

Oh wait, we of "Second Life Fails and Fugs" do! But, my friends, there is a right way and a wrong way of wearing pink when your hair is of the auburn variety.

This is the wrong way

And (fingers crossed) this is the right way!

Make Up

Ok, so I shall be honest with you, in RL I am the queen and mistress of applying my own make up, so much so that I can do it at 5.30am before I begin an early shift at the hospital... so maybe I'm not up to the standards of one Auxiliary Nurse I met who had mastered bright pink, glittery lipstick and false eyelashes but I digress.

I departed the world of SL just before viewer 2 came into being and upon my return I was baffled by the "make up layer" that some fashion blogs were cooing over and I decided it just wasn't for me, I was an old school lover of skins and that was that.

Until now! For those like me who are bewildered by SL blusher, mystified by SL mascara and stupefied by SL shadow of the eye variety then keep on reading. If, though, you are "down with da kids," as our dear Mr. David Cameron would say, on the how2 of SL make up then maybe you could read on to appreciate the deal I've found?

Obviously the names of each make up are under each picture and I thought I'd include an au naturel Saffie as a comparison. Click on the picture to get a close up view of all the make ups or have a gander at my flickr photostream

And do you want to know the best part? All these make ups are ONLY 1L on the Marketplace from ee.!

The original skin I used was Sayuri @ Tuli

Dress @ 20.FIVE - 25L, actually.. ALL their stuff is 25L and very cute too!
