Guys, this is just to say i’m back, after a 3 weeks absence. I’m really sorry for leaving so suddenly and without notice. Life happens, and sometimes it happens really hard.
Needless to say, IMs and inventory offers capped. If you tried to contact me since May 30, please try again.
Things are to be back to normal during the next 2 weeks. Skins are almost done, new hair is on the way, and I’m also working on a new build.
go hang a watermelon on your neck!
This is why:
All the cool kids are making skins, why can’t I? I was going to keep quiet about them until they’re ready for release (they are not, btw - i’m currently boobless, buttless and bitless), but i’m so proud of those cutsey pouty lips I didn’t resist.
And btw, since all the cool kids are also doing - again - that myheritage.com celebrity thingie, I’ve decided to give it a try with the new skin
Lucille Ball, man. Lucille f***ing Ball.
***
Edited to add: I didn’t even notice I was paler than Nicole Kidman with anemia. Don’t worry, guys, I’ll have more “normal” skin shades, like “tan” or “sunkissed”, besides “dead”
I hope you do, because I have, like, all those 10 half finished wigs sitting on my workshop, waiting for the 30 new textures i’m also working on…
Hello, my pretty gems! I have lots of new goodies to you today: four clothing releases, plus five new hair dos! There’s also a group freebie avaliable, keep reading.
The Aria collection was inspired by classical music. Timeless, elegant pieces, with beautiful lace details and soft colors.
Prelude is a romantic ankle lenght dress, made with luscious, bias cut silk. Prim bell sleeves, hand drawn camellias and a prim flower on the chest complete the look. Avaliable in white, beige, green and red.
Adagio is a beautiful, demure creation, consisting of a cotton shirt with subtle transparent details, lace collar and cuffs and perfect sculpted sleeves, plus a highwaisted, knee lenght pencil skirt. Avaliable in black, blue, red and brown; white and offwhite shirt included in all colors.
Allegro is the cutest babydoll dress, made in lace, with a stunning prim flower brooch. Avaliable in pink, blue, cream and green. A lilac version was sent as a group gift If you have your client open, I’m pretty sure clicling here will open the group page directly; if it doesn’t, just do a search or open my profile and check it from there. Join, click on the notices tab, and search for the notice called “a gift<3″
And finally, the Sonata. It was something that was in my mind for quite some time, and I’ve finally took the time to make it. The lace shirt with sculpti sleeve poofs, strappy modesty tank top and the long, flowing skirt will make you look like a princess, and work great for mixing and matching. Avaliable in rose, cream, pastel green and black.
And here, the hair <3. The Amanda, Angelica and Milonga are brand new, original styles. Latifah is a long version for the Lailah turban, and the hat is texture change on touch. Annette is a hatless version of the Bernadette, a suggestion from a customer, and I love it.
Everything is avaliable right now at the Comme il Faut mainstore. Enjoy and have a great week!

The mandatory disclaimer: this is my opinion, I don’t want to create drama, etc etc. Sasy Scarbourough has her reasons to start organizing this fundraiser; Rose Farina has her own very strong reasons to not support it. Both are my friends and I respect them. These are my own reasons, and unless Sasy decides, for whatever reason, to end the fundraiser, I’m sticking with it till it ends.
First, when you have a fundraiser event like this, more than raising money, you’re raising awareness. I’m pretty sure a lot of the newest residents, and maybe some veterans, have never heard of Wheelies before. I’ve heard about them long ago when I first joined SL, and then totally forgot about it until now. I’m pretty sure this is the first contact with them for many people.
One great thing about most SL fundraisers and charities is that the money raising part is made mostly by selling goodies, namely fashion goodies. That way, people are getting a direct benefit for their generosity, and they’re associating the act of donating with feeling good and looking good. I hope that makes sense, you know english is not my first language. One thing I believe is that giving is not about the receiver. It’s about the donor. You’re doing a good thing mostly for yourself. This may sound too egocentric, and maybe it is. When I give, I give not because I feel ‘pity’ for someone - I hate this word. I give for the feeling of being useful. I give because sharing feels good, and somehow it seems to multiply the good things we receive. When I give, I am grateful for the privilege of being part of the receiver’s world; this makes my own personal world much bigger and more complete.
One last thing, and this is probably a very unpopular opinion. I may be shooting myself in the foot by admitting that, but I’m too honest for my own good. The truth is that being generous is good business practice. This may sound materialistic, and maybe it is (I’m a capricorn, bear with me:)). If I were doing giving for charity’s sake, I’d do it anonimously. In my personal life, I don’t want to be treated differently because I give. Giving or not doesn’t make me any better than anyone. But having your name associated with charities is a very good publicity, and that’s the only reason I put my name out and about.
That’s it. I don’t think they’re entitled free money just because they’re on a wheelchair; more space to the club is a perk that they may not have money to spare on, and I’m helping for the same reason I’d help the kids in my neighboorhood to buy soccer uniforms for their team. What I think they do need is publicity, awareness. More people with disabilities need to know there’s a place where they won’t be treated differently because they’re on a wheelchair; and more “normal” people need to know disabled people are just like us.
That’s why I’m in.
Good evening, my precieuses! How you’ve been doing?
See, I’m still working on the “official” releases, but this dress is special. It’s my entry for The Cafe Society design challenge, and the deadline is tomorrow, lol! Besides, if you read the fashion feed you must be aware there’s a fundraising going on, in benefit of the Wheelies club, and I really wanted to help. So, here it is:
(I’m a bit meh about the ad. I might change that)
The Flamingo is a cocktail dress inspired by, you guess, flamingoes^^. It’s bright pink (two shades of pink, actually - because one just wasn’t enough for me), with a pretty fluffy skirt, gloves and feathers everywhere! You will feel like a princess wearing it.
The best part? It’s set at only 100L! Regular price will be 275L, this is less than half! You better hurry, this is only for the fundraiser, until this sunday, april 27th.
This one is for The Cafe Society Flamingo Design Challenge. To be released tomorrow at Comme il Faut.
Happy St George’s day <3
