FASHIONART Faire Kandinsky and NailedIt also New from EMO-tions

I go through blogger boxes because I've learned that you'll never know what you're missing if you just pull one item, love it, and leave the rest. Today, that yielded a rich bevvy of beautiful outfits that really all come as complete avatars. They do not include hair or skin, but many other pieces are included.

This designer Kandinsky, made me think of the brothers who were famous at the turn of the 20th century in traveling circuses across the vast lands of the United States as well as other countries. The name Kandinsky created a whole array of spectacular tricks to be discovered in the center ring.

The pieces of this outfit I'm wearing, called Sansa by the way which reminded me of Game of Thrones but I derail my own thoughts, came with everything shown except you do not see the wide black glasses. They covered too much of my face and I thought it was easier to see all the details by removing that one element. The new hair from EMO-tions called Jamie is another name reminiscent of Game of Thrones. (I could be slightly enamoured by that show!)

Studs mark all of the clothing that has a look of worked leather. The studs are on a HUD allowing for silver or gold. Silver and black continue to be my favorite pairing of color basics on and off line, perhaps because it's now my natural hair coloring. So I found a way to tie them all together. It's one of the rare occasions where I did not mix a lot of designers to make a composite. I really liked this designer and look forward to seeing other things they create.

Thank you designers:

Let Yourself Be Human -- Featuring ~ghee, FINESMITH and Baboom!

Some of the most difficult moments in life occur when I disappoint someone. I'm certain that no one in any life, any lifestyle, any gender, any religions, not a single soul goes through life without disappointing someone. When I do, I feel it to the core of my being. I sometimes even feel physically ill, as a side effect.

The only way I know how to make it through those moments comes via communication. I have to give the person who was disappointed time to vent, to share frustration, listen to the anger or the sadness, or whatever other emotion I engendered by doing the thing I'd done. Absorbing their angst only makes it more heavy to my spirit, and sometimes it takes a long time to get past it. It's not that friends or family are unforgiving. They are, and do, long long before I give myself a break and forgive me.

It's challenging to build a reputation in any business, anywhere in our world, and it's just as easy to break it, tear it down, and sabotage the positive energy with one little thing. I've often thought that thousands of good deeds might be easily overlooked by a single misdeed. It's just how we as humans act and react. I hope that you give yourself permission to be human. You might not win the crown, or get the job you wanted, or find your way to your dreams. You also might find a friend who's having a really bad time of it, and behaving contrary to everything you know about that person. You might not know why, or ever know, but it might help to give friends a get out of stupid free card, and let them be human from time to time too.

~ghee created this evening gown, and has a sparkle effect that doesn't show on still photos. It's gorgeous and made me feel very feminine. Baboom! made this spring decorated hat with loads of color and symbols of holiday, play and fun. Something as beautiful gives me a good jolt of joyous energy and helps me get through those human moments. It's just one of many many reasons I do this thing called blogging in this virtual world we share.

Designers make this thing I love to do possible. My thanks goes ever warmly to each of them:

Sometimes I Get Chatty -- Featuring Tukinowaguma from Japan Fair Plus FINESMITH @ Main Store and Fashion Stars

This week, a friend paused to show me a few tricks with regard to setting windlights and shadows as I asked again, "How can I improve what I'm doing for these awe inspiring designers. October has taken professional photos in world for hundreds of people, and each was a work of art. I want to be able to do that one day. Baby steps. I will continue to take baby steps. I found a new brush by accident when I was actually looking for one October mentioned to me. The profile photo she helped me create took my breath away, and she'd already done so when she did an advertisement for last month's Fashion Pride event that ended up being my Facebook Cover Photo.

She's one of those women who make me tired just listening to everything she does, and because she does so much, and remains an avid and supportive friend, she has a special part of my heart. Her most recent endeavor includes a partner and the rejuvenation, rebrand and marketing of the skin company, Kyxe Skins & Shapes. Face Paint closed about 6 months ago now, and I had given them an exclusive guarantee at the time that I would use Face Paint products in every single blog I ever posted and on every single runway show as well. I never broke that promise. A pair of days ago, I offered the same exclusivity to Kyxea and October aka Keisha.

I feel it's a privilege to work with designers from all over the grid. When I was newer than a green sapling, I went to a FINESMITH casting and had it in my head that I was all ready, set, to work in the store, right then and there. Needless to say, I was miles away from being a model, and needed time to learn. Now I have the joy of blogging for FINESMITH and I want to do everything in my power to present all that she creates in the finest way. One thing she's asked of her bloggers, and it only makes sense, "Please don't mix new releases from FINESMITH with other jewelers." I respect this immensely and have done so.

When I put the hair on from Tukinowaguma at Japan Fair, it had some inlaid headpiece as part of the hair. I loved the hair and thought it was so perfectly paired with the Sarit in Pearl set that FINESMITH has for sale over at Fashion Stars and the Moonstone Gown found at FINESMITH's main store. I checked with Ms. Yeriak to be sure that wearing the adorned hair would not clash with the request of FINESMITH. She said it was fine, so I ended up with this styling. Pearls have been considered since ancient times the tears of the moon. They're the only gem that comes from organic material, and the finest pearls in all the world found themselves set in courtly jewels and those of the very rich and very famous. Over time, the pearl has become the symbol of purity and innocence. I could feel that aura as I worked with them today.

Without these designers, I would not have been able to style this newest look. Thank you!

Must Be Spring -- Easter Market Petits Chats, Candy Crunchers, Eyelure, Dscribe, Persnickety, and StoraxTree

All the items from the Easter Market make for a wonderful tapestry of artistic puzzle pieces, to choose and delight in their fun frazzle of pastels and more.

These items are all from the Easter Market: Petits Chat Easter Egg Skirt, Candy Crunchers Necklace Bunny, Eyelure Tank Over Bikini, Dscribe Decorations Hanging Eggs, Persnickety Easter Flowers, and StoraxTree Feline Treasures and Thatched Spring Planter.

The additional items are staples of my wardrobe including the delicious Walnut skin and the new shadows from Kyxe Skins & Shapes and mesh eyes from KMADD/MODA Designs. I haven't used anyone else's eyes since Maddox gave me this box. There are literally hundreds of options and I've loved every one I've tried.

I used another of the special HUD options with poses built in from [[j'adore]]. I offer a gentle nudge to remind you that the Japan Fair opens today and has many terrific things to try and all proceeds go to the ShelterBox -- read more here http://japanfair2014.wordpress.com/about-us-japan-fair-2014/

It's Time To Breathe -- Featuring Petits Chats Creations, Hawker's House, Chop Zuey, and Nailed It

With different designers and different purposes, events around Second Life allow us all to explore so much in one place. The Easter Market seems to come so quickly. I suppose time flies when we're all enjoying life. The people who brought the Christmas Market put together another great seasonal bit of fun.

This Persephone spring dress comes from Petits Chats Creations and is at Easter Market. Another pair of great boots from recent releases at Hawker's House suit me during any season! Chop Zuey contributed the jewelry for this styling, Paz Eterna necklace and bracelet plus A Big Spring Ring.

And I love how Nailed It released their gift for Runway Perfect Hunt; if you're a mesh lover, it's in there, a prim lover, it's in there and SLink nail appliers are in there too.

So grateful to the designers who made this blog possible:

Loads of New - Nailed It at SAVIAD, h.m.a.e.m. at Couturier's Docks, Belle Amie, Chop Zuey, {mv}, Ch, KMADD/Moda

Wow, I'm having fun with styling lately. Tonight I put together a whole smorgasboard of items that I haven't shared previously. The SAVIAD Fair is represented by the crafty nails from Nailed It.

This month's Couturier's Docks host an array of talented designers that include this dress from h.m.a.e.m. Chop Zuey gives away far more than one could ever imagine and I know there's a world of customers out there who are so grateful for Belle's goodness, and that includes me! The bracelet comes from one of her recent gift releases.

I had leggings from {MV} still in my inbox to blog folder from Sexxx Sells event last month. I also had items from the Jewelry Expo event still unopened, both the Dragons from Belle Amie and Ch's ankle boots seen here.

And I could not thank KMADD/MODA Designs enough for the selection of hair styles. Truly a pleasure...

More Beauty From Fashion Pride - Shiki and Zuri's - Plus Exile and Kyxe's New Items

I got new hair from Exile. Now I could be a hair addict EASILY... but I try to work with the hair items that I've received over the period of time I've blogged. Sometimes, despite myself, I still go shopping. It's soothing. Hair. Soothing.

I have the new dress from Shiki and new jewelry from Zuri's, both coming from items prepared for the Fashion Pride Second Life event.

If you look closely, you can see the Marigold Hannah special skin item from Kyxe Skins & Shapes. You must visit Kyxe and see all that is new. Updates to skins include makeup, and the group gifts you'll find at Kyxe take your breath away!

Thank you Lyrical Bizarre for making the pose contributed by Grafica come to life. I really enjoy blogging and photography, but it's a thousand times more fun when I get to share it with friends like you. :*
