Atomic Concrete Flowers!

WOW, so many events going on right now! This is one of those times where it's awesome we have so many fashion blogs, because there's a lot of amazing to cover. In my little corner? Atomic keeps begging me to stalk it by releasing skins like Morgan here- this one just $500L, an exclusive for Project Donate and ALL proceeds go to UNICEF. (I Love Olive "Doris" hair in Pink Flamingo shown!)

Like my blang blang, don't you? It's the adorable Project Themeory "Back to School" paperclip necklace & bracelet set by the awesome & hilarious store Concrete Flowers (which is next door to the highly addictive Kosh- I mean they make skins that look this THIS for $599L: )

KOSH Vee skin in Wine Metal.

The hair is Taylor by Dernier Cri from the Hair Fair (seriously people- TAKE OFF YOUR PRIMS!!! A facelight are you kidding me? You're just a grey blob, fashionista!), and it moves SO beautifully and looks so glossy and lush that I want to have its hairy prim babies.

New Ugly Duck Group Gift & Build!

If you haven't heard (or even if you have, please stay) Ugly Duck at Filthy Cute has released a new group gift- and wrapped around it is an amazing multi-story build! Picture heavy entry ahead.

Ugly Duck Droid skin, with Data prim eyes. The skin is genderless and comes barcoded on the back. It is bad ass. When you land, walk around the walkway to the left and enter the "Gacha" room to find the group gifts. It's smooth, sterile and stainless.

I loved the old build, and was a little bummed out that it was changing. Well hell, now I barely remember what it used to look like! Ms. Fade Lei- who owns the land with Noam Sprocket of Gritty Kitty (who really needs to hurry and move in, btw...)

Has created levels of a futuristic... I'd call it dystopia but I'm pretty sure Ms. Lei wants the future to look and work just like this. "I tried to keep it like the old Dirty Cute, but this ones Filthy Cute." Old DC was a big influence, though the tunnels here are way damn cooler. So far it's been featured on the Emerald Beta login page and Showcased!

Filthy. Under construction Red Light District. This cracks Fade up because she reproduces asexually through Bjork song transmissions.

The "All Is Full of Love" moving gallery.

Tunnel!

Strip for cold, robot businessmen at the luxe The Metro Club!

Big awesome sign and moving billboard. Yes, she creates amazing skins then builds this. I will hold your hand while we both give up on ever being cool.

I call him "Quacker, the Ugly Duck!" Click him to open a door to skin that'll make you stand out and be accepted by your robot overlords.

Click and teleport. The teleporter is awesome and even tells you what level you are on with a sexy lady robot voice!

Droids like humans nude and behind bars.

These pictures are a *tiny* look at the new Filthy Cute, it really needs to be experienced. Visit, join the group, gets tons of skins for $250L, get some $200L gacha skins then also buy her other skins because... they are really, really nice.

Creative people are evil. She lured me over to show me a terrifying skin she made (I can't stress how much thinking of it gives me bad flashbacks) then she stored me underground to consume later.

I'm not kidding, I'm still down there. She threw down a laptop and made me write this. I have lived a sinful and wicked life but I really need to pee, please.

I love you all.

Thirsty for Thursday?

More CandyDoll skins, this time only $50L each a tone for Thirsty Thursday! Yep, that means this deal is for today only. Since I showed some of their skins the other day I thought I'd showcase the body a bit (so pixel nudity ahead!)

It's Called the Rising "Soleil"

Dress: #Soleil# - Sonic Surreality (in blue) (ONLY available on the lucky board, so camp out!)

Remember what I said a few entries ago, about being lucky meeting exceptional people in SL? Well it happened again, and it started with a very nice lady asking(!!!) if I'd accept a blogger review pack from her store #Soleil#. I did... and the clothes blew me away. I went to her store and bought more dresses, because.... these pictures do them about 5% justice.

#Soleil# - Mourning Flower- special $1L dress!

Oh, the designer? None other than ColeMarie Soleil- famed machinimaist, (machinimist?), builder, singer, and now she's turned to couture design! Now, "couture" gets thrown around a lot in SL. Since it's impossible to replicate exact couture standards in-world, we have to shift our definition a bit. To me, places like Vita's Boudoir (run by two sisters who run a REAL couture shop in Zagreb) and now Soleil are "true" SL couture- amazingly, uniquely designed pieces that can't really be replicated in real life. ColeMarie took her building skills and artistic eye and made truly- no bull- breath-taking fashion.

All the dresses move beautifully for dancing- a specific goal ColeMarie set out to achieve. The prices are also very low for this level of skill and style- most run between $150-250L.

Dress: #Soleil# - Requiem for a Raven (This one is nippley, so don't wear it when you meet the SL in-laws... unless they're AWESOME. Also only available in the lucky board!)
