Hey sweeties,

I've been wearing mesh heads for so long now it feels a bit strange to be back in my own skin, but I'm really liking the way this face has turned out. I love mesh heads for a lot of reasons, not least how much easier they are to photograph with shadows and windlights, but sometimes it's nice to feel a little more unique, which can really only be achieved with system skin and savvy layering, IMHO. I'm still holding out for the day we get mesh heads that can be fully customised, with sliders etc; then we can get back to looking a bit more individual. I pretty muh live in my TMP head and, due to the relatively large number of skins and appliers available, plus the ability to layer makeups on the head, I do feel I am able to achieve a semblance of individuality, but I still see an awful lot of people wearing the heads, looking pretty much like my twin, lol. I have, obviously, invested in the Lelutka heads. I think the heads are beautiful but at the moment Flickr looks like a whole load of clones have taken over SL - more skins will help somewhat, I guess. Anyway, on to the details...

Ever

Hi guys,

Flickr has been bombarded of late with pictures of the amazing new mesh heads by Lelutka and I'm rather late jumping on the bandwagon but here is my take on the 'Ever' head. I'm a huge fan of mesh heads and I wear my TMP head most of the time. Of course, one of the biggest problems with mesh heads are how limited we are regarding customization and the ability to make oneself look individual. I personally am really holding out for the day we get sliders on our mesh heads but in the meantime we will have to make do with skins and appliers. There are, in my opinion, quite a nice range of appliers available for the TMP heads to the point where I feel my head looks reasonably individual if I mix and match my skin, lipstick, eyeshadows etc. So, with that in mind I am eagerly awaiting the release of appliers for these lovely new Lelutka mesh heads. I'll be really interested to see how different they might look with other skins etc. 

I do really like the Lelutka mesh heads - 'Ever' obviously being my favourite. I won't bother doing any kind of review here as the bloggosphere is crammed with reviews of the heads and everything that you could wish to know is out there. I will only say that I think the price is pretty good (L$2,500) for everything you get with the head - skins, make up, the fabulous skin glow function etc. The heads also blink, have a closed eye option and, of course, come with a selection of eyebrow colours - more than enough to get you started without having to fork out more cash for extra skins etc (unlike the TMP heads). The only skins available at the moment (and which come packaged with the heads) are by Glam affair so they are obviously lovely but, as I said, I am looking forward to having more options before I start wearing this head on a daily basis.

Lolita

Hi peeps,

Really loving this last round of Collabor88 - all things pin up, 50's and milkshake! That said, I only ended up using a couple of items from C88 for this post and the resulting look, with the pigtails and high waist shorts reminded me a little of Dominique Swain in the film Lolita. Hehe. As usual recently, I'm wearing my Wowmeh mesh body - the latest update (v3.1) has made some big improvements, not least the waay better fitting of my Slink hands and feet. Ok, on with the details...

Did you miss me?

Hi sweeties,

Not gonna rattle on too much this time, I'll pretty much just skip to the credits. I will just point out that I'm wearing the Wowmeh mesh body here and, as you can see, the HUD controlled alpha layer system has done a pretty good job of hiding the body parts. Result!

The Sorceress

Hi sweeties,

Well, I intended these pics to be out for Halloween but, as usual, RL has been keeping me busy so they're a few days after the event :-P.  I had so much fun putting together this look - it was awesome being all gothic and witchy. I really enjoyed being able to go to town with the sparkly effects during editing too, and I love the way the pics have turned out. 

This dress from Fellini Couture is amazing. It's the first time I've shopped at the store but I'll definitely be back when I'm looking for a glamorous gown. Glam Affair treated us to a cute Halloween skin and don't even get me started on the awesomeness of this head dress. There's been so much cute Halloween stuff around recently I'm already planning another spooky post soon...

So here's the stuff....
