Rack ’em up!

I really wanted a t-shirt type dress because of Thomas Rhett’s song T-shirt. I mentioned that to Annie Melson, the talented creator behind Just Because and she liked the idea enough to do it! It’s called the Zoe T-Shirt Dress and it’s really freakin’ cute, as you’ll see below. I paired it with the special edition Harper clogs fri.day released for the Pulse Fundraiser. If you haven’t heard about this yet, it’s a great event to raise money to help the victims from the horrific shooting that took place in Orlando last month. Some really amazing designers have come together to donate their talent to help raise money. On top of that, there are auction boards… but more about that in just a minute. I wandered over to Blithe and found this really awesome scene. It was sort of dark and moody and sexy and it suited my mood and my outfit perfectly, I felt. I hopped up on the pool table, and while this table (from Apple Fall) does have built in poses, I decided to use a recent release from Infiniti for the pic instead.

My adorable hair is from Truth and it includes a version with a cat ears headband that’s just cute as hell. You can find it at The Fantasy Collective’s special After Dark round through July 15th. I’m wearing one of Catwa’s more recent mesh head releases, Helena. I love this face so much, and DeeTaleZ created an applier for it that is so beautiful it’s actually why I bought the head! The applier is called Fable. I have a LOT of mesh heads and appliers at this point, but this is probably my favorite combination yet. My necklace is from Cae’s current FaMESHed release, and it’s really lovely. I decided to mix up the metals and am wearing a combo of silver and rose gold. There’s also a choker that has gems and earrings available to go with this.

Okay, so now about the Pulse auction boards. There are a bunch of talented creators and photographers, along with some date boards… you can win some time with someone or win some amazing prizes. Like Blueberry fatpacks for life. It’s definitely worth checking out. Yours truly even has a board, and if you bid on me and win you’ll get early access to Whimsical, before it’s open to the public for a lag free shopping experience. I’ll also do your profile picture, and give you L$2500 in store credit at Repose, the pose store I co-own with my husband. And Sanura Snowpaw, who owns Somnia, generously added L$2500 in store credit to my board. It’s all for a good cause… 100% of the proceeds go to the fund set up by Equality Florida. So even if you don’t bid on me, consider checking out the boards and bidding on someone else!

And now, I’ll leave you with this…

Drifting…

So, the Tannebaum holiday market is still going and if you love Christmas and haven’t yet been to this event, you really need to check it out. It’s full of adorable seasonal goodies. Like the coat and top I’m wearing here from Bad Unicorn Clothing! I went for festive colors, but there’s a wide assortment available, so if you’re not that into Christmas, it’s still worth a visit! You can also check Seraphim’s post for a sneak peek. My cozy boots are from fri.day and can be found at N21 through December 11th. These are unrigged and can be resized, so do try a demo. I have a fairly curvy av and I was thrilled I was able to get them to fit me without much difficulty at all. My hair is by Tableau Vivant, and is available at The Fantasy Collective’s birthday round, which ends December 15th!

My beautiful Catwa applier is Maddison from DeeTaleZ. I snagged it during the Black Friday sale, but it’s so pretty I’d say it’s well worth paying full price, too. The cute little bow ring is from Cae. And I took these pics with poses built into the Chez Moi Romantic ski lift (which my lovely friend Krisy gifted to me), which is really cute for winter! It has loads of single and couple poses, and it’s texture change, too.

PS. Both my jacket and hair have versions for male avs, too!

Candy Cane Crush

Just a seasonal quickie today… I was shooting the ad for this new prop pose we released over the weekend at Repose, and I liked how it came out and decided to edit it for blogging. The pose is still 60% off through today, if you want to go snag it! Me and my alt are both wearing a new release from Valentina E. Couture that is just utterly gorgeous. You can find it at The Fantasy Collective’s birthday round!

On a final note, my alt is wearing Magika’s First Light hair, which is part of the Linden Labs 12 Days Of Savings Marketplace event. So you can grab it here at a discounted price for a limited time!

Hurry to get your Geek on!

Geeks ‘N Nerds closes tomorrow (November 1st)… so you’re running out of time to go explore and buy all things geeky and nerdy!

I’m wearing Mina’s adorable hair release for Geeks ‘N Nerds, and sitting on the awesome shelves DRD released for the event. They include individual letters that spell out Geek and can be used separately or all together. Aside from the chameleon cage and nesting dolls (more on those shortly), everything you see on the shelves comes on them.

My boots from Essenz prove what all geeky nerdy people already know… geeks and nerds are sexy, too! Speaking of sexy, I have on the brand new SLink Physique body called Hourglass. This super curvaceous body is not for those who want a sleek, slender or more athletic look. It will almost certainly require some tweaking of your current shape, whether you’ve been using it with the standard system body or another mesh body. But it’s worth it when you get it right, and if anyone has questions on how to tweak it, feel free to message me or leave a comment! I’ll gladly help if I can. Important note on Hourglass… it’s not going to work with any clothes for other bodies, including the original Physique. Designers are making clothes for it already, but be patient (think of all the work the poor designers have with all the various bodies, and give them time to catch up!). Some of you MAY be able to get some of your standard sizing clothing or fitmesh clothing to work, but I personally could not (I suspect those with smaller shapes will have an easier time of this). Fear not, though. My sexy dress is new for Uber from Just Because, and this includes a version that fits Hourglass!

I’m also wearing the LOGO head Alex, with a gorgeous applier from LAQ. I love this applier. It’s natural and understated sensuality. The Pi necklace I am wearing is from Cae for Geeks ‘N Nerds, and my chameleon friends are from Hextraordinary, also at G & N Fair. The cute little Halloween nesting dolls on the shelf are from Artisan Fantasy for The Fantasy Collective’s Halloween edition! There are treats to be had for update group members at this round, so definitely check it out!

Happy Halloween! I hope you all have a safe and wonderful day.

~Lucie

PS. Just as an FYI skin appliers for the original Physique, and other applier based clothes *should* work fine with Hourglass. I haven’t had any issues thus far.

Shameless

I wanted to blog this gorgeous bed Stockholm & Lima did for ROMP. It is texture change, has gorgeous animations, and as you can see below, it will even tie your captive up for you like a nice little present. There are four versions of this bed (LesDomme, MaleDom, FemDomme and GayDom), and for anyone who enjoys a little bondage now and then (or a lot of it!), I’d say this is a must have. Plus, the details on the bed itself are gorgeous. It would be lovely in any room. In this case, I’m using it inside the Tuscany Country Cottage recently released by DaD Designs for Cosmopolitan. This house has beautiful details, including an outdoor trellis and a gorgeous fireplace in the living room. It’s also a really great size… not too big, not too small. It manages to be both spacious and cozy inside, which is a tough balance to strike.

We are both wearing the new Erratic lingerie from Collabor88. It only fits the Maitreya body, but it fits like a glove and the textures are superb. Since I am, in fact, an SL prude, I rarely buy lingerie in SL, and typically see it as an investment for store ads, but this set with the sexy, vintage-y corset, called to me. My hair is one of Exile’s new releases at Collab, and I love the flirty, messiness of it. The heels I’m wearing are fri.day’s Uber release. The tapestry on the wall is from Zerkalo for The Fantasy Collective, and the little chest with collectibles is from Artisan Fantasy’s Collector’s Curiosities gacha, also at TFC. Remember, TFC ends on the 15th, so you’re running out of time to stop by and grab all the goodies!

P.S. This is the song that inspired the title of my picture (which is Rub up against it till I break the skin).
