What's Your Digits?

I seem to be making a habit of doing Strawberry Singh's Monday Memes on early Tuesday mornings, so I figured...why break the tradition?  Anyway, this one is super fun and a rehash of a meme that she did before(also, this was my very first one that I participated in, you can find it here)...the What's Your Digits challenge! This one's been revamped some, due to the mesh body craze...but here we go!

Meme Instructions: Share your avatar’s digits and/or answer the following questions about mesh bodies. If you decide to share your digits, feel free to add your image to the Digits Flickr Group.

1. Do you currently own a mesh body? If so, do you wear it all the time or just once in a while? If not, skip to the fourth question. I own two mesh bodies: Belleza's Venus body and the Maitreya Lara body :D I haven't taken my mesh body off since I bought the Maitreya body.

2. What is your preferred mesh body available on the market right now? I absolutely adore the Maitreya body. I purchased the Belleza body before the Maitreya body was released, and I think I've worn it all of four times since I bought it...I haven't taken my Maitreya body off since I purchased it except for when I clean my inventory up.

3. Have you changed your shape since you started wearing the body? I made some slight changes, yes. Caiti has been a short, curvy girl for years in SL, but I was never able to push the sliders of my body around and give her the full hips, butt, belly and breasts that I wanted her to have. With the mesh body, I am able to give her the thick thighs that I have wanted her to have for years, but was never really able to do, due to the constraints of the default avatar. I can't stop looking at her anymore!! 

4. How do you feel about mesh bodies in general? I adore some of them. I am in love with the Lara body, and I love Belleza's body as well, because they are soooo user-friendly and you can really customize your body and not look like everyone else. I am personally not fond of The Mesh Project bodies, only because I hear horror stories and stories of frustration from the men and women who own the bodies, it just sounds like it's more trouble than it's worth to own their body.

From a photography standpoint, I am in love with the bodies too, because it cuts down a lot of time that I'd previously have to spend in Photoshop liquifying the jagged edges and sharp corners that would come from poses, or smooth out the curve of a breast or hip. 

5. What is one thing you would request from designers when it comes to mesh  bodies?  Well, I haven't really had many complaints at all, so I'll echo what Strawberry Singh said in her post: A universal applier HUD please!! :D

The End of Winter?

Good lord, I sure hope it is. I adore winter, it's my favorite season, but...after getting blasted with feet of snow in less than a month in my area(New Englander, baby!), I'm ready for it all to be over and done with...which is why I'm so glad I took a shopping trip a couple of days ago with a friend of mine, and ran across this happy dress by Atomic at N21!

The colors are so reminiscent of spring...pastels make me so happy, and this dress comes in three sweater color options(a light blue and purple are also available), so it's a perfectly sweet way to welcome in the changing of the seasons!

I'm also wearing the newest release from Glamistry, called Aster! These shoes come in 12 individual colors, or you can buy the fatpack for L$997...my advice is to ALWAYS buy the fatpack, but that's because I'm obsessed with shoes. The awesome part about these shoes? A size to fit the Maitreya Lara high foot, the Belleza Venus high heel foot, AND your Slink feet are included in your purchase! :D

Usually I would build my own backgrounds for blogging photography, but my home sim hasn't been switched over to spring textures on the ground yet, so I decided to browse through my Flickr stream to see what I could find. I came across Strawberry Singh's Friday Find for last week(found here) highlighting a sim that is owned by one of my other favorite blogger/photographers, Harlow Heslop, called Blithe. So I went to check it out, and it was perfect...absolutely what I was looking for in a location for this dress. So thank you Harlow, for making something gorgeous and for sharing it with the rest of the grid. 

That's all from me today, dollies! Time for me to go take a nice long nap and dream of warmer weather.

LOTD #005

So today was a good day. I went shopping(which isn't really a surprise), and ended up at Uber first. The round this month is Celestial, and while there were some really awesome things released...I dunno, it just didn't speak to me for the most part. I DID grab the new Glam Affair skin, but that goes without saying. I'm such a whore for Glam Affair, and I've got like...three skins of theirs that I haven't even worn yet :p

So while I was at Uber, I was in a Skype call with my darling friend Dex, and he was bored...so I said to him "Come shopping with me then!"...and he decided to come along. Poor him. He spent ten minutes trying to get into Uber, then when he finally got in, he was his usual shady nasty self. Which I love the most about him. 

After I picked up a couple things from Uber, I took him to the Fantasy Collective, where I ended up buying a dress and a bikini(which I'll blog at a later date, I'm so excited for it)...then we went to a new monthly event that's hit the grid, called Trend3. Par for the course, he was shady and sassy, and I sort of ignored him a little bit, but...I made him come and judge me in this brand new dress that I picked up from David Heather. I am SO in love with this dress, and I've been watching this designer get better and better with his creations, so seeing this dress just got me really happy :D

I absolutely adore the way this dress clings to the body, and the texturing and wrinkles in the mesh are really realistic. There were a few girls in the booth when I went in there, and they were gushing about how happy the hard nipples in the mesh made them, which made me giggle and agree in local. I paired this dress with a new release from Moda Designs, called the Valerie! Of course Dex decided to hate my choice of shoe color, but I didn't listen. These shoes come hudded with 24 different texture choices, changable in six different places, all for 99L!! 

I met Dex at Boystown, back when I really started going there more, and getting to know the regulars and the staff. He is the Monday and Wednesday night DJ at BLU Dance Bar, and the Tuesday night DJ at DARKbar, the leather and fetish club that I also DJ for. He's incredibly shady and slutty(love you), and just a really great friend to have. 

...maybe people will recognise him better in his natural state, which is shirtless. 

I've got him posing in a recent release from Poseology, called Adham...named after our boss, friend, and the "Mayor" of the Boystown sims. 

I brought Dex over to my house later on to offer him drinks and to make up for making him carry all my shopping bags around, and to thank him for not dropping them and breaking them just because. Muah, darlin!

Cynful at The Dressing Room!!

Hello, darlings!!

The weekend is coming up quick, and I'm sure everyone in the States is going to be out and about, having a great time at barbecues, sitting back and having a nice cold beer with friends, and watching the fireworks go off...unfortunately I'll be at work all day, so I won't get to go out on the lake with friends to enjoy myself :(

But that doesn't stop me from telling you all about the newness that's coming up on Friday, from Cynful! 

The Dressing Room is a bi-weekly event that's been going on for...gosh, I can't even count how many years now...I heard about it for the first time in late 2010, I believe, and I've been going ever since. Nearly all of the items available are priced between 40 and 70L, and it's all stuff from really great designers. Cynful has put out three new colors of their classic "First Date" dress, in neon pink, tan and black :D 

This dress comes with an applier HUD for those ladies with Tangos, and there is a size created specifically for those of you who wear the PhatAzz...so never fear, your booties will be covered!

After I put this really adorable outfit together, I realized that I needed some great shoes for it! I threw on a random pair, then forgot about it for a while...and headed over to FaMESHed with a friend of mine(Divi if you're reading this, HAY GURL!!!), and looked around...then saw these, from N-core...

And proceeded to die of happiness. 

N-core is one of the few remaining shoe companies who have not jumped onto the Slink bandwagon, and while I think that's sad...I won't ever stop wearing them. I have been loyal to N-core for as long as my shoe obsession in SL has been around, so...about four and a half years now. These are just so interestingly made, and a really neat concept shoe!! I don't think I could ever wear these in RL, but in SL...YES MAMA let me rock these!!! 

That's all from me today!!
