Hi all…time to look at something pretty! Dionysia has a new design out….and you can get the belly piercing for only 1L and the Bracelet for free! Hit up the SoM for the bracelet and the piercing is set out for 1L in the store! The entire set is available for sale for 500L as well…and it is called Celtic Rose… an intricate, delicate design in a shiny, silver texture with no bling.
Head on over to check it out!
When I arrived in SL, just over 2 years ago now, I had to be convinced by a newfound SL friend that I needed to find good skins, good shape, and good clothes… I thought I was fine with some freebies I had found… I thought I looked pretty cool.
But no she said… quality, you must have quality. However, me being me, I didn’t want just any items of quality, but only those that suited me, fit me… just right. Thus began my endless search. I have found many things of quality, but they just… don’t feel like me. And visa versa – some may fit… but would lack in quality and not be what I’d wear. Back then, free skins were hard to come by.
I finally bought my first skin, thinking I was done, I’d not buy more again. Later I bought more from another shop. Then designers starting giving out freebies for this holiday or that new release, I began to wear others, and look at them differently, and my preferences evolved. A few months back, I began again, my search for a new skin. I’m still searching. I’ve found a few along the way that I love for this reason or that reason, perhaps I’ll talk about those, and my early skins that I still love, another time.
But for now, I want to talk about the new Candace skins by Artist Ryker Beck. I’ve been a fan of her work for months, her talent is rare and her photoshop skills are an amazement to me. I followed her creative process of her first skin, Eden, on Plurk and Flickr, and recently purchased one… and fell in love with it, tho I still didn’t feel it was… perfectly me.
I followed her progress on Candace…eagerly waiting to see it, to see if it fit me more perfectly. And here is Candace.
Genesis : Candace - Fair Ground
Like Eden, it is a true work of art. It comes in 4 tones, shown here is Coconut, my favorite, and Fair Ground is my favorite make up, tho I love all 8. My favorite part of Candace (and Eden) are the details, softly and naturally done, in the lips, the highlights of the face, the muscling of the tummy, the clean ears, the touchable dimpling and nippling and… other bits. The hips and the belly button and the knees and the moles (even one mirroring a RL one of mine) and did I mention Candace’s dimples? You’ll have to take my word for it on some of these things (I am a reserved gal tho HeWhoHasMeReserved would agree on much of this I am sure) or better yet, hurry over and get some demos and see for yourself. It’s still not perfectly me. But I love it.
Genesis : Candace - All Makeups
You can find all of Ryker’s skins at Genesis. Hurry over there and get them all, as soon select tones of Eden will be removed from sale, and are currently 75% off. You’ll also find beautiful jewelry creations, prim nails, eyes (you get bonus eyes and belly ring with your skin purchases) and other things by this gifted creator. A visit to this store is definitely a must if you appreciate quality in SL as I do.

Seems that Defleur has moved to its own sim now and is open! To celebrate there is a beautiful fairy princess gown set out for 0L for the next 24 hours. It comes with a ton of detail…beaded belt for the skirt, stunning choker/necklace, wings and butterfly ornament for your hair. Be sure to check out the whole place…great fantasy and medevial (sp?) outfits…and several great for goth wear.
While out and about, pop by Donna Flora for the Easter gift being offered…set in a small egg in the center of the store (easily visible) and grab the new Diana jewelry set for only 10L while there. Do look around at the designs for sale here…this has become one of my favourite places to shop.
(oh yeah…the set is flexi too…and free of bling)
Well it is past Easter…so guess I am late with this…but the Bunny Jam (i think it is called) is running through Friday and really should not be missed! Two sims set up to celebrate Easter…one a magical experience with almost hallucinogenic lights and effects and tons of cute bunnies…the other filled with eggs created by SL residents…some beautifully decorated, others downright funny and all imaginative. Do be sure to check it out before it is gone and take the survey there for a chance to win your own sim for a year…tier free!
Dionysia has set out 2 dollarbie necklaces for Easter…one a beautiful amethyst cross set in silver (bling free)…sure to match any Easter outfit of your choice. Feeling a bit more down to Earth?…then look at the Rustic Cross made out of marble and leather…both created with her amazing textures. A male version of the Rustic Cross is also available for only 125L.
Hurry here to get them though…the dollarbies go to full price after Monday.
The Clothing Fair may be over, but raising funds for Relay for Life is not. Many designers are still putting out new designs to raise money and older vendors are staying out. Cilian’gel will be showing her new RFL dress tonight at 7pm LST at Clearwaters Ballroom during a RFL sponsored event. Ballroom is magical and so is the new dress. Created in a fiery orange, it comes with a long gown or short skirt option and includes a pearl necklace, shoes and an elegant handbag….all for only 400L…all of which will go to charity. If you cannot make it to the event (like me 
) you can always stop by her Cilia’s boutique and get it from the RFL vendor there.
While in a giving mood, pop over to GG’s Boutique to grab one or two of her new RFL items…this adorable oufit comes with everything shown (except hair and boots) and you have your choice of grey, blue, green or brown (shown)…I grabbed the green as well…and each is only 150L…quite a bargain for us and a win win outcome for all.
