A Malt Quickie

I just wanted to drop a quick post - I popped over to the Kozmetika summer event yesterday and stocked up on even more makeup to adorn my nice bare CheerNo Femme skin.

I especially like these sheer earthtones eyeshadows from cheLLe. I'm not always a fan of tattoo eyeshadows but these are really nice. They also have a set of more vibrant colors. I'm wearing my red eyebrows from LAQ, of course, my usual lashes from Sin Skins (I just like prim lashes better than tattoo), and Mink lipstick from Heartsick.

I'm wearing Malt's Allyn shirt (look, a peek of midriff! I'm so daring!) and you can just glimpse the aubergine leather pants from Adam 'n Eve. My hair is Milano from Novocaine, which I think doesn't exist any more but I like it so there it is!

Like A Ruby

I know it's summer, but my blogging folder is still full of stuff that I picked up during colder weather. So thanks to Thelma Felix's Virtual Version blog I trotted over to the amazing build at Karoastoff to show off another pretty coat.


This is the Rose coat from Lika Ruby. It comes in a bunch of colors and is only $150L. I paired it with Adam n Eve's Leather Sculpted Pants in aubergine and one of my first ever purchases in SL, Lassitude & Ennui's black tapestry ankle boots. These are currently on big sale at the main store - you can get the fat pack for $40L. That's way less than I paid for one pair two years ago!


Of course, I'm still wearing my Julie skin from LAQ. I said I'd never take it off! And this time I've paired it with a recent freebie from Tiny Bird. This is Love Love Love in caramel.

So skate over to Lassitude & Ennui and pick up some boots then head to Karaostoff to explore the trains, lighthouse, and other lovely buildings.

Science Friday

For those of you who don't listen to American Public Radio, Science Friday is a show about science (duh) that airs every Friday (double duh). It's also the reason I'm in Second Life. I had heard a few stories about SL (Woman loses her husband to virtual mistress!!) but never really been interested in it until Ira Flatow (who appears in-world as Ira Flatley), the host of Science Friday, started reporting about it and eventually set up Science Friday Island, where every Friday at 11:00 a.m. SLT they stream the show and take questions from avatars that they answer on the air. He was so into it that eventually I had to check it out.

The next designer in my inventory is Adam n Eve. One of the points of this blog was to help me downsize my inventory - if I don't want to blog about it, out it goes! These purple leather pants, pretty as they are, almost hit the trash. I loved them, but for some reason it took FOREVER to find shoes and a top to go with them. Part of the problem, of course, is my no-exposed-midriff rule. I had plenty of cute tanks and tees, but the pants are pretty low cut so eventually I ended up going with this white sweater. I was hoping I would get to sit in host Ira Flatley's chair, but sadly it's programmed just for him.

The sweater is from a shop that doesn't seem to be around any more called Little Town. I loved that place. Everything was so cheap - I think the sweater was like L$30. Officially, the pants are the Aubergine sculpted leather pants and they come on both layers so you can tuck them in boots if you want.

If for some reason the Lindens decided to decree that there could only be one shoe designer in all of SL (and God knows they could - I don't understand half their decisions) I would be totally fine with it as long as that designer could be Fallingwater Cellardoor. Shiny Things could easily keep me beautifully shod forever. These are the Mary Jane Mules in Pale and are currently priced at L$100 in the sale room. A total steal.

Science Friday Island has this nice seating area where you can sit with others to enjoy the show in Fridays. There's also a patio area with some links and info about issues of the day. And you can get a free "Science Fridays" t-shirt. If it came on a jacket layer I'd be wearing it in all these pictures!

The skin in this picture is the Trixie skin from A Piece of Candy - I believe you can still get it free in the diamond hunt going on there. Hair is ETD's Starley II in auburn.

So drop by Science Friday island on Fridays at 11:00 for some educational entertainment!
