Guardian Angel

The Gacha Garden will open again on 1st August and Astralia has created the most stunning... and I really mean stunning... angelic collection.
The rare wings are fabulous and quite unlike the shape most others you'll find in SL. A colour HUD is included to switch the metal between gold and silver, as well as given options on the feather colour between pink, black, white and red. 
There are 2 more rares - the heels and the headpiece - which include similar colour HUDs. The common items consist of the head jewel, bracelets, belts and nipple covers (not shown) in the 4 colours above. 
For every 25 plays of a machine at this event, you'll get a special prize called the Seed of Inspiration. Astralia are offering a matching sceptre for the set.
**Update, I forgot to mention that you also get a special colour HUD with the SOI too! The HUD works on all items - 2 extra colours for everything!



Uber opened a couple of days ago and Glam Affair is offering their second new skin applier for the LAQ Trinity mesh head. The gorgeous 'Petra' is available is 7 different skin tones from Artic to Africa.
Glam Affair also have this new necklace for Uber, called 'Marzia' in 9 different colour versions. 

The Season's Story is coming to an end so hurry on over for any last minute purchases! The top I'm wearing is by =Zenith= and is available in several colours with matching bottom.
It's also the closing weekend for the Hair Fair, where you can feel good about your spending as a portion of all proceeds benefit the 'Wigs for Kids' charity!

All Sugar, No Spice

Astralia is taking part in Collabor88 this month with these beautiful rose and thorn themed headpieces and shoes. The headpieces can be worn alone or combined with this cute hair updo. The hair is available in 8 different colours (4 packs of 2), as well as a fatpack. The headpiece includes HUD of 20 colours for the strap, main flowers and secondary flowers.
The shoes are fitted for Maitreya Lara but are unrigged. For picture purposes I'm using them with the doll feet but they are not a perfect fit for these as the doll feet are SLink shaped. The shoes include HUD to change the flower and strap colours.

 The 'Boho' dress by =Zenith= is available in 10 different colours and the 'Boho' leather bag comes in 7 different colour versions. Both can be found at Kustom9. The dress is made to fit Maitreya Lara mesh body, but works nicely with my fitted doll body too! The bag comes in both rigged and non-rigged versions.

The cute watering can decor us by Striped Mocha and can be found at a discounted price at We Love Roleplay before it hits the mainstore. There are 5 different versions of this and is completely re-sizeable.

And yes I did more or less the same scene/pic twice... I can be strange, that's all :P

But hey, at least you see more colour alternatives! lol

Bite My Shiny Metal A**

OK, so I had to steal the Futurama quote - but only because Azoury has released these supercute 'Bender' headphones new at their mainstore! Who knew Bender could be so cute?!

I'm also wearing new very cool hair by .Shi, available at Second Life's annual Hair Fair 2016, currently in progress! A percentage of proceeds from all hair sales at this event go to support the Wigs for Kids charity.
The skin applier is new by Glam Affair especially for LAQ Trinity mesh head. It's called 'Meredith' and is available as a gacha at Kustom9. The gacha includes 14 commons, consisting of varying makeups in 7 different skin tones. There are also 3 rares - a freckled Jamaica tone with 'clean' skin, a freckled Jamaica with makeup and a 'clean' Asia skin. 4 different eye-brow colours are included as well as a no brow option.
The clean rare skins are awesome for wearing with other makeups, including this cool new eye makeup by Zibska that is available at the new round of Shiny Shabby. The 'Cacia' eye makeup pack includes 18 colours in tattoo layers, Lelutka & Omega and unisex TMP installer.

The Criminal Police

The Epiphany gacha event is back with a new round and =Zenith='s new  collection is totally to die for! The 'Criminal Police' set includes a very sexy jacket in 6 colours (jacket, harness & bra all attached), shorts to match in 4 different colours, matching hats, leather cuffs, boots and 2 different S&M whips. There are 3 rare items - the black jacket, black shorts and black boots. 
HUDs are included to give choice between silver and gold for the metal. Jacket and hat also allow to change colour of trim.

For those unfamiliar with this unique event, please see the link here for how to play.

Basically, you can trade your unopened gacha duplicates or unwanted items for points to get exclusive prizes that will never be sold after the event. You can, of course, still trade and sell gacha items in the normal way too. 

The exclusive item by =Zenith= that can be purchased using Epiphany points is an awesome megaphone to complete your look!

Trinity

There's a new mesh head on the SL market!

LAQ has released their first mesh head - 'Trinity'. 

This beautiful head comes with a gorgeous, realistically detailed skin in 7 tones as standard. It's completely Omega compatible, for skin and makeup layers, with no need for a relay HUD. 

The Trinity HUD includes eyebrow options in several colours, slider adjustment for eyelash length and the option to tint lashes. There is also shine/materials slider controls.

Trinity is animated too, with blink, open mouth, closed smile and open smile expressions. Each can be played completely or you can use the 'skip forward' option to pause on each step e.g. there are 3 steps to the open smile, depending how far you would like the animation to go, to offer more variety to the expressions. 

The third section of the HUD allows you to save and view your 'looks' to quickly choose from later. It saves the skin/makeup combo ready to use. 

The video was shot without high graphics enabled, sorry! So, I couldn't show the materials/shine functions properly. I took the video using Nams Optimal Skin 2 windlight setting.

You can also see this head in my previous post!

Indie Nights

Indie Teepee is open and Storybook has released the very sexy 'Covet' dress in several colours, made to fit Maitreya Lara, especially for the event. Well, I say dress, it consists of a loose fabric down the front and back, with a lot of bare skin at the sides!! It's perfect for roleplay, fantasy or rustic looks, but could also be combined with other items for a more modern style too. 
This event runs until 24th July. 

Astralia has created the new 'Sequoia indie feet accessories' for the upcoming round of The Season's Story, which opens 10th July. These are also made to fit Maitreya Lara and they include a colour HUD to allow you to change the metal, straps and beads.

The staff laying beside me is the new 'Wiccan Staff' by [The Forge][EZ]. This version, along with a silver version, can be found at the current round of We Love Roleplay. There is also a black version, see previous post, that can be snagged at TMD. It's all scripted and stuff ready for battle, as well as looking pretty ;)
The masks to the left can also be found at WLRP. The 'Eryx Mask' by Rekt includes a colour HUD with lots of different options, between more neutral looking colour schemes to some beautifully bright colours.
Be sure to pick WLRP items up before the end of the month whilst discounted, before they hit the mainstores!

Liuly

After my previous quite dark and moody pic, I decided to spice this one up with some colour!

This gorgeous bright and tropical looking makeup is by Zibska and can be found at the new round of The Liaison Collaborative opening 7th July. The Nascha eye makeup pack includes tattoo layers, Lelutka & Omega appliers and unisex TMP installer in 16 different colour variations. 

The Chooli Lips pack includes tattoo layers, Catwa, Lelutka & Omega appliers and unisex TMP installer in 22 different colours.

'Liuly' is a gorgeous Asian-styled skin applier by Glam Affair made especially for Lelutka Undivided mesh heads. It's available as a gacha at Shiny Shabby, there are 15 commons with various make-ups in skin tones ranging from Artic to Africa and 2 rares with clean, freckled skin in Jamaica and Asia tones. 

Keeping with the hot and summery theme, the flowers are actually a headpiece called 'Maracana' by Astralia and it can be found for 199L at The Project 7. The piece includes colour HUD to swap the small flowers and the larger flower independently of one another. 

The prop I'm peeping through is the end of the new 'Wiccan Staff' by [The Forge][EZ] weaponry. This black version can be found at the current round of The Men's Dept and there are versions in gold and silver at We Love Roleplay. Scripted for those of you who like to RP!

Maniac

The new round of We Love Roleplay will be opening soon! The 5th of this month instead of the usual 4th due to the holiday in the US!
 Azoury have created these wonderful ballet pumps for SLink Pointe feet in 5 different colours. Each comes with 3 sock versions - white, white bloody and black. 
I love how original these are and how they offer a completely different, much darker look than standard ballet shoes. Plus, as always, the texturing from Azoury is amazing.
You can snag these for 279L$ instead of 399L$ for the duration of the event before they hit the mainstore!
Everything at WLRP is 25-50% off and the new round opens at 1pm tomorrow!
