I am Titanium

I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
fire away, fire away
ricochet, take your aim
fire away, fire away
you shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am titanium
I am titanium

Dress:  Leoinside from GOLA (0L)

What if?

Don't speak, I can't believe
This is here happening
Our situation isn't right
Get real, who you playing with?
I never thought you'd be like this
You were supposed to be there by my side

When you say that you want me
I just don't believe it
You're always ready to give up
Whenever I turn around

What if I need you baby?
Would you even try to save me?
Or would you find some lame excuse
To never be true
What if I said I loved you?
Would you be the one to run to?
Or would you watch me walk away
Without a fight

I'm so sick of worrying
That you're gonna quit over anything
I could trip and you'd let go like that
And everything that we ever were
Seems to fade but not the hurt
Cause you don't know the good things from the bad

When I say that I want you
You know that I mean it
And in my hour of weakness
There's still time to try

What if I need you baby?
Would you even try to save me?
Or would you find some lame excuse
To never be true
What if I said I loved you?
Would you be the one to run to?
Or would you watch me walk away
Without a fight

Every time I speak you try to stop me
Cause every little thing I say is wrong
You say you're noticing but you never see
This is who I really am, that you can't believe
Makes me want to know right now
If it's me you'll live without
Or would you change your mind
What if I need you?

But What if I need you baby?
Would you even try to save me?
Or would you find some lame excuse
To never be true
What if I said I loved you?
Would you be the one to run to?
Or would you watch me walk away
Without a

Oh baby what if I need you? (what if I need you?)
Yeah yeah, What If I need you?
What if I need, what if I need you?
What If I need you? (Oh) What if I need you?
Yeah, what if I need you?
I need you, you, you

The Reindeer Effect



I think there should be something in science called "the reindeer effect."  I don't know what it would be, but I think it'd be good to hear someone say, "Gentlemen, what we have here is a terrifying example of the reindeer effect."
~ Jack Handy

Far from being terrifying, Reindeer Cutie from Felicious Neko will help you stay warm on those chilly late November days when the first flakes of snow drift through the air.  What better way to get in the Christmas spirit than to don antlers and wag a jaunty tail?  The best part is, since this complete outfit is part of the Sixty Linden Weekend, you will have plenty of jingle left over for buying gifts for all of your favorite elves.   This outfit comes with a green plaid sweater which you can wear with and without the hood, black arm warmers, cozy corduroy jeans, green fringed boomer boots, a tail complete with a coordinating bow and a snowflake nom.  It's so hard to find hair that will work under hats and hoods in sl.  These Rosa bangs from Catwa work perfectly!  My skin is Chloe Tan 11 from Belleza and my Sunrise Eyes in light green are from Ikon. 

The Details:
Outfit:  Reindeer Cutie from Felicious Neko (60L - for a limited time - part of Sixty Linden Weekend)
Hair:  Rosa (bangs only) from Catwa (250L)
Skin:  Chloe Tan 11 from Belleza (older purchse)
Eyes:  Sunrise Eyes from Ikon (150L)

Wynter

Winter came down to our home one night
Quietly pirouetting on silvery-toed slippers of snow
And we, were children once again.
~Bill Morgan, Jr.

Now that the end of November draws close, it won't be long until old man winter makes his presence known.  Today, for Fifty Linden Friday, you can get to know the softer, more feminine Wynter at Belleza.  She's an ivory-skinned beauty with rosy cheeks and delicate pink lips.  Of course, what winter would be complete without snow?  These sparkling, icy blue-gray Eternal Eyes from Ikon, aptly named Snow, look lovely surrounded by Mysteria Mesh Lashes from Gaeline Cosmetics.  Dark, softly flowing tresses named Lykie from Truth contrast beautifully with the creamy skin.  My dress is the latest group gift from Egoisme.

The Details:
Skin:  Wynter from Belleza (50L - for Fifty Linden Friday)
Eyes:  Eternal Eyes in Snow from Ikon (150L)
Lashes:  Mysteria Mesh Lashes from Gaeline Cosmetics (180L)

The Power of Pink


Don't make fashion own you, but decide what you are, what you want to express by the way you dress and the way you live.  
~ Gianni Versace

I guess being with family and friends for the holiday left me feeling sentimental, because I have another retro outfit for you today.  My rose-colored fringed vest is from BoHo HoBo and was available yesterday as part of Fifty5 Thursdays.  Under my vest, I am wearing one of my fashion staples, an intrinsic tank in blush, from Jane.  They come in a multitude of colors and are free!  These brightly-hued Flower Power jeans are also available at BoHo Hobo, and they come with the belt shown.  I tinted my free Sunara necklace from Burroughs Jewelry to coordinate with my outfit.  Also free, my Chloe SK Group Gift skin has been embellished with make up layers from Mock Cosmetics.  One thing I love about the Firestorm Viewer is the ability to wear multiple layers of make up.  First, I began by wearing Mythic Neutralizer from Mock to tone down the pink and purple hues in the free skin.  Next, I added the free Opal LipColor Contessa tester from Mock for a soft blush tone on my lips.  Finally, I applied Funsies eyeliner in smoked senna, also from Mock.  My lovely hazel Eternal eyes from Ikon are rimmed with Mysteria Mesh lashes from Gaeline Cosmetics.  To soften the darker brows of the Chloe skin, I added Belleza's Chloe SK light brows.  My hair today is actually a combination of two styles from Catwa.  The bangs are from Rosa and the rest is from Razan, both are in the shade "honey."

The Details:
Vest:  Fringey vest from BoHo HoBo (55L yesterday - sorry I meant to blog this sooner, but got busy with family)
Tank:  Intrinsic Tank from Jane (0L)
Jeans:  Flower Power Bell Bottoms from BoHo HoBo (75L)
Skin:  Chloe SK Group Gift from Belleza (group gift, fee to join)
Eyes:  Eternal Eyes from Ikon (150L)
Lashes:  Mysteria Mesh Lashes from Gaeline Cosmetics (180L on the Marketplace)
Necklace:  Sunara from Burroughs Jewelry (0L)

Hair:  Rosa (bangs) and Razan from Catwa (250L each)

Simply Sophia


Beauty is how you feel inside, and it reflects in your eyes.  It is not something physical.
~ Sophia Lauren

Gazing thoughtfully over the rippling fields at Alirium, there is beauty to behold not only in my Sunrise Eyes in Pale Arabian Blue from Ikon, but also in Sophia, a pre-release skin from PXL Creations which can only be found at Around the World.  This creamy, sun kissed skin comes in your choice of a variety of lip tones, but here, I've chosen to have naturally bare lips.  I've added Sophia Smokey Eyes, the tattoo layer also available from the skin vendor.  Mysteria mesh lashes finish up the light touch of make up around my eyes.  My Four Seasons corset is part of the outfit awaiting your discovery of the autumn leaf in the Falling into the Season Hunt at Bitch Tail.   This corset dresses up beautifully with the skirt included in the hunt gift, but also looks fantastic with a faded pair of blue jeans.  I think this hunt ends very soon, so if you like this corset as much as I do, don't delay on this one.  My Shadow Lord Choker, a gift from Ronsem provides a simple, color coordinated accessory.  Side parted, blonde tresses from Elikatira fit the dreamy mood of the scene perfectly.

The Details:
Skin:  Sophia from PXL Creations (1,000L)
Eyes:  Sunrise Eyes in Pale Arabian Blue from Ikon (150L)
Lashes:  Mysteria Mesh Lashes from Gaeline Cosmetics (180L)
Necklace:  The Shadow Lord Choker from Ronsem (0L group gift)
Hair:  Follow from Elikatira (250L)


Boho Flowers

We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.
~ Thornton Wilder

I hope those of my readers who reside in the United States had a joyous Thanksgiving holiday.  I am grateful for all of the blessings I have in my life and for the time spent today and every day with family and friends. 

This bohemian style dress, called 1968 is part of Fifty5 Thursdays this week.  I wasn't going to blog it, but I had several compliments on it, so I decided to do a quick post.  Although it may be too late for you to get these items for 55L, you can bookmark the Fifty5 Thursdays website and see what they have to offer next Thursday.  I love the large patchwork squares and the retro prints of the fabric in this dress and the way it sweeps all the way down to my toes.  The blue necklace and earrings which I am not wearing are included with 1968.  My shape, Chelsey, is also from Fifty5 Thursdays, and the great news is it comes with a modify version!  To go along with the sixties feel of this outfit, I wanted a long, braided hair and Interrupt from elikatira was the perfect style for the look!  I am wearing Polly in cacao from Al Vulo and Ikon Horizon Eyes v2 in Caramel.  Tattoo layer lashes from Mozz Cosmetics are my only make up addition.

Catching My Breath

I'll spend the rest of my time
Laughing hard with the windows down
Leaving footprints all over town
Keeping faith kinda comes around
I will spent the rest of my life

Catching my breath, letting it go, turning my cheek for the sake of this show

Now that you know, this is my life, I won't be told what's supposed to be right

Catch my breath, no one can hold me back, I ain't got time for that

Catch my breath, won't let them get me down, it's all so simple now

You helped me see

The beauty in everything

Taking time to catch my breath and show you Katy.... the sixty linden weekend offering from For F's Sake.  With a cheerful black and white polka-dotted, form-fitting midsection accented with with a layered skirt and fitted bodice, Katy won't let you down.  You will feel flirty and ready to paint the town!  With my MStyle Goshi Pumps in black, I am all set for an evening of dancing.

W.O.W. Effect - Pure Rapture!

Meet Cindy, the November group gift skin from W.O.W. Skins.  With reddish brows, a faint dusting of freckles across the bridge of her nose, and strawberry lips, she possesses a fresh, girl-next-door beauty.  All I added for this shot were Mysteria mesh lashes from Gaeline Cosmetics and softly draping Tomorrow hair from Magika. 
Dalila is another group gift still available at W.O.W. Skins.  A clear skinned, suntanned beauty, she is sure to please.  Again, the only thing I added to accent the skin are Gaeline Cosmetics' Mysteria mesh lashes and Tomorrow hair from Magika.  My top is part of Rapture, a mini dress which is available as part of the sixty linden weekend from Sassy.  I love the all-over sheer lace embellishment and sexy trim on this dress.  Here, I've chosen to combine the top with Alessandra Beltless Leather Pants from Alessandra Skins and Fashion.

In addition to Dalila and Cindy, there are other previous group gifts still to scoop up at W.O.W. Skins.  Although there is a fee to join this group, the gifts are generous and gorgeous.

Amal is the Autumn Hunt prize awaiting your discovery at W.O.W. skins.  If you locate the hunt icon, she can be yours for only 5L.  Amal features fair, creamy skin unadorned with make up.  Again, I added Mysteria mesh lashes, but otherwise, applied no make up so the natural beauty of Amal can shine through.

The rest of the skins on this post are part of a special hunt going on at W.O.W. Skins.  I don't know how long they will be available, so if you like these, don't delay.  Hidden throughout the store, you can find the following skins, one set of eyes and lipsticks.  Each of these items are currently set to sale for 10L!  You have to hunt through the store to find them, but honestly, it did not take me long at all to locate them all.  For these pictures, I kept the pose and the lighting the same so you could compare the skin tones.  The only thing added to each skin were Mysteria Mesh Lashes.  The blue eyes are from W.O.W. Skins, the green are from Ikon.

Just as treasures are uncovered from the earth, so virtue appears from good deeds, and wisdom appears from a pure and peaceful mind.  To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue.

Lost in Lori and Cyanne

I must have flowers, always, and always.
~ Claude Monet

As bright and cheerful as a meadow of blossoms, Lori, Chandelle's gift to VIP members, will bring sunshine to a dreary fall day.   With a bold floral print of posies scattered over a soft blue background, this mesh frock makes an adorable sundress, or can be worn as a belted top over a pair of blue jeans as I have done in this photo.  My hair is a new release from Truth called Cyanne and I love the color change scarf that drapes softly over the shoulder.  I've chosen to accent Chloe SK7, from Belleza with Crema LipColor in Sanguine from Mock Cosmetics and Mysteria mesh lashes from Gaeline Cosmetics, but otherwise, I've let the natural beauty of this skin shine through.  Who can resist the appeal of these Sunrise eyes in light green from Ikon?  

Also available at Chandelle, Luana is a sassy, off the shoulder top with a brilliant red sash at the waistline which includes the Nick shorts shown above.  This gift is available to the Chandelle free to join group.  I would like to introduce you to Tessie, from Soulglitter.  With her deep red lips and suntanned skin, this 10L skin is sure to turn some heads your way.  I've chosen to add Miss Vanity Eyeshadow and Lashes in gris as well as Mysteria Mesh lashes in layers over Tessie.  My hair in this shot is Daria, from Diva which is available for a limited time at Collabor88.  Finally, my Goshi pumps in cerise from MStyle coordinate perfectly with my red sash.

A Poetic Heart




It seems I have a poetic heart today!  I traveled to the ZoHa Islands this morning and while I was exploring, I discovered you can obtain some great gifts in the ZoHa Islands Hunt.  All you have to do is visit businesses on the ZoHa Island sims, and seek out the heart icon.  You can read about the hunt and access the slurls for the stores on this link.  Here, I am showing you the Versaille Corset Shirt, just one of the gifts hidden at Blah.BLAH.Blah.  It features a dramatic black on white floral pattern.  Due to the chilly autumn air, I decided to don an Open Cardigan in black from M.o.w.

My skin in the top photo is the Chloe SK group gift from Belleza over which I have layered Miss Vanity Eyeshadow with Lashes [gris] and Crema LipColor in Smolder, both from Mock Cosmetics.  I am also wearing Mysteria mesh lashes from Gaeline Cosmetics.

Mila from Ploom (blondes pack) cascades over my shoulders and down my back in loosely gathered ponytails, adding a playful look.  Romance is in the air with my baubles today.  My customizable Romance necklace and matching earrings from Burroughs Jewelry can be tinted to a multitude of hues to perfectly coordinate with your outfit.   Right now, Burroughs is having an End of Collection 99L Crazy Sale, so the time is right to do some accessory shopping!

Finally, take a close look at these peepers, called Pearl Clear Pond from Poetic Colors.  With just the right amount of sparkle and a lovely greenish hue, these eyes remind me of water glinting off the surface of a hidden forest pond.  Simply tap the subscriber at Poetic Colors and you will be gifted these gorgeous eyes.  For this photo, I had switched to Chloe SK 0 (not free) while still wearing the Miss Vanity Eyeshadow, Creama LipColor and Mysteria lashes.

Sugar & Cyanide

A wise woman puts a grain of sugar into everything she says to a man, and takes a grain of salt with everything he says to her. 
~ Helen Rowland

First, before I move on to today's freebie outfit, I had to show you a close up view of my Miss Vanity Eyeshadow with Lashes [peacock] which is available in a variety of colors for a short time at Mock Cosmetics for only 30L.  Don't wait on this one, or you will pay full price for this gorgeous combination.  Over my lips, I am wearing Crema LipColor in Bellini also from Mock Cosmetics.  My skin is Amar in milk from WOW Skins.  The complete avatar was a Midnight Mania prize that I won awhile ago, but I am just wearing the skin here.  I love the sexy mole just above the corner of my mouth!  I have added Mysteria mesh lashes to frame my Sunrise Eyes in light steel blue from Ikon.  My gorgeous tresses are a new release from Magika called Tomorrow and are available both on the Marketplace and the in-world store.  This customizable Basti necklace in black is an older purchase from Pepper. 

Leanne is the current group gift at Sugar & Cyanide.  With soft, blue tones, half length sleeves and an asymmetrical hemline which shows off your sexy legs, this mesh dress is sure to please!  Here, I have chosen to pair it with Goshi Pumps in Navy from MStyle.  These shoes are currently on sale for 50% off.  They are my favorite pair of high heels, and I think I now own just about every color they come in!

As soon as I saw Daria from D!va Hair at Collabor88, I knew she was destined for my inventory.  This casual, sideswept updo with a knot on the side can be dressed up with a color change ribbon as I have done here, or worn plain without the bow.  I love the way soft tendrils of hair escape and frame my face in this hairstyle.  My Hyperion necklace is from LouLou & Co. and I love the way its small bow echoes the bow in Daria.  For this photo, I am wearing Chloe Tan 11 from Belleza which is not free, but it's my favorite skin.  I have layered Miss Vanity Eyeshadow with lashes in soft brown over the skin.  My eyes are Sunrise Eyes in Light Green from Fashism (now Ikon).  I've also added Mysteria mesh eyelashes from Gaeline Cosmetics.
While you are at Sugar and Cyanide picking up the group gift, see if you can find the Womenstuff Hunt Icon.  (It's not hard to find!)  Inside the hunt prize, you will find this casual outfit which is perfect for brisk late fall weather.  It includes the warm Alexandria jacket, shirt, leggings and the S&C ankle boots which have a cute studded detail.

I'm a free spirit on the beach in LouLou & Co.'s Mojo Tunic from Perfect Wardrobe.  Featuring a plunging neckline, which leads to a gathered, fitted midsection and a loose skirt in a soft purple tone, this mesh dress echoes the feel of hippie days.  Mojo is also available in brown for a limited time at Perfect Wardrobe.

I'm wearing another Belleza gift skin called Elle BR SK upon which I have layered a Miss Vanity Eyeshadow with Lashes in soft brown (available for a very limited time on the counter at Mock Cosmetics in multi color packs for only 30L), May LipColor in [twine] (free tester from Mock Cosmetics) and tattoo layer lashes from Mozz Cosmetics.  My eyes are a gift from Poetic Colors called moon - autumn dark.  I'm not sure if these are still available, but there is a nice set of eyes in the subscriber at Poetic Colors and a pair of free eyes in the back of the store.  My hair is one of my first hair purchases ever called Tobylyn from Damselfly.

I've accessorized my outfit with a freebie from Burroughs Jewelry called Sunara necklace.  The neat thing about jewelry from Burroughs is you can use the HUD to completely customize the beads, geodes, leather and metal to perfectly coordinate with your outfit.

Dance Like Nobody's Watchin'

 Work like you don't need the money. Love like you've never been hurt. Dance like nobody's watching.
-Satchel Paige

Here I am in the Garden of Dreams, dancing like nobody's watching in Flower Power, one of the hippie-themed offerings available at The Perfect Wardrobe.  Complete with over-the-knee suede boots, this mesh dress is reminiscent of the sixties with its rich, circle-within-a-circle print fabric.  Offering a softly draped asymmetrical skirt, long, loose sleeves and a scooped neckline,  this frock comes in multiple sizes.  I've chosen to accessorize with Hemp Hair Beads and the Groovy Peace Necklace, both from Earthstones. 


My hair from EMO-tions is called Juliet.  Over my Chloe SK group gift from Belleza, I have layered a make over called Futura Bloody Catagonia (not free) and May LipColor [Twine] (free sample) both from Mock Cosmetics, as well as tattoo layer lashes from Mozz Cosmetics (not free).  These mesmerizing eyes are Sunrise Eyes in Light Arabian Blue from Fashism (now Ikon).

Show Me You Love Me

 Don't tell me you love me; show me that you do. - Omage Jossy

Locate the Dirty Turkey Hunt icon at One Hundred and you will receive this earthy, rust-colored sweater.  With its bulky knitted texture, "Show Me" is warm, yet displays tantalizing glimpses of skin.  This mesh sweater includes an alpha texture with and without pasties and comes in four sizes, so you are sure to find the match just right for you.  Here, I have chosen to layer the sweater over a tangerine Intrinsic Tank from Jane for a look that reflects the colors of the season.  With a simple pair of vintage jeans, I am ready for a stroll through the woods.  In this photo, I am wearing Blake hair from Truth, Nellie skin from LAQ and Utopia eyes from Ikon in deep purple and blue.  I've added Honoriable Eyeliner in black from Mock Cosmetics and tattoo layer lashes from Mozz Cosmetics.

Shhhhhh.....it's a Secret

All three of the outfits in today's post were designed to raise awareness of breast cancer and are available outside of Dirty Little Secrets.  First, with its sexy off-the-shoulder drape, shape-hugging curves, and delicate rosey blush, the BCA Mesh dress is sure to flatter your figure.  It's available for only 10L, as are the coordinating mesh high heels.

On a cold, rainy Tuesday, what better way to spend the day than curled up by with a mug of cocoa and a good book in a flannel shirt and a pair of leggings?  This cozy boyfriend shirt, BCA mesh leggings and BCA mesh ballet flats are also available from Dirty Little Secrets for 10L each.
In this dark pink dolman mini, you will wow that boyfriend!  With a lighter pink collar and cute ties on the skirt, it has plenty of style too.  At only 10L for the dress and the matching wanderer high heels, you will have plenty left in the budget for a night out on the town.
