Alysha’s Second Life

Nope, has nothing to do with the releases this week.  But that was the title in my head. 

Just go with it.

Goodies, goodies, goodies…..looky looky!!

- these dresses just look toooo cute!  *Petit Ange* releases absolutely adorable polka dots dresses.  OMG, I want to eat them up! (http://yabusaka.blogspot.com)

- Janie Marlowe of Mischief wants to encourage us girls to bare enough to make them want more with her release of “More or Less”.  The outfit includes a wrap top showing off our “lovelies” enough to make the boys pause.  (http://mischief-maker.blogspot.com)

- Trinitee keeps tweaking her hair textures (each time I love them even more!) and has released her latest tweaked textures by bringing back three favorites and releasing a new style, titled “Emma”.  (http://refuged.blogspot.com)

- ARIEL’S BACK!!!  I almost cheered out loud (loudly!) at work when I received an offline IM from Ms. Black.  RPD is back on track and you just HAVE to see what she’s released.  Tops, outfits, skirts…yumminess!!  “Guarded” looks H-O-T!  Welcome back Ariel!!!!! (http://rising-phoenix-designs.blogspot.com)

- Yeah, I know it’s not clothing…but it’s furniture fashion!  The Loft releases a very elegant looking bedroom set, entitled “The Sharon Collection”.  Very refined.  Gorgeous.  (http://theloftblog.wordpress.com)

- Caroline’s Jewelry releases simple yet refined pearl necklace and earrings sets, entitled “Athena”.  They look absolutely stunning and the necklace has a heart charm in the middle.  What girl doesn’t want pearls?  (http://capollo.blogspot.com)

Happy Shopping!

So I contact Phoenix and was like, “can I help?”.  She was like, “absolutely!  Here’s a list!”.

And I went through that list this weekend.  And let me tell you people….the designers we have lined up so far for the expo is H-O-T!!!

If you make shoes and have not been contacted and would like to participate to benefit a wonderful cause, drop me an IM (Alysha Rennahan) or Phoenix Chapman. 

But be warned..you may be in my sights to come after.  So be ready for me!  And have ice cream!

Just a moment to say Happy Six Months, Baby.

I love you very much.

Thank you for loving me.

All my love, now and always,

Picking back up this very popular category.  Just to remind everyone, I tend to list anything that has caught my eye that has been posted between Saturday and Friday mid-day, as I usually post this Friday afternoon - early evening.

So let’s see what has been spawned this week, shall we?

- Alienbear Gupte releases a continuation of her SLRFL contribution, the Princess Carita Collection, in eight other gemstones.  Also released this week, as part of a collaboration with RL and SL lingerie company Carnal Lingerie, comes “Floretta”.  Both sets looks simply amazing.  (http://alienbearjewel.blogspot.com)

- Reaching back just one more day, DoC releases “Emotions”, full of wonderful detail and available as a gorgeous dress or a pants outfit.  And then today, he goes ahead and releases “Catrina”, a H-O-T corset-style top with pants outfit.  I think he just likes to watch me drool.  (http://dedesigning.com/blog)

- Ravenlynn has us thinking of funner, sunnier days as she releases outrageously adorable summer babydoll-ish dresses.  And all for only L$50 each!!  How can you pass that up?  (http://liquidvelvetstudios.blogspot.com)

- Nyte Caligari drops a load of new releases on our heads, including “Piccilo” - a cute summer dress, and “Bandeau” - a pants outfit featuring a sheer, flowing top.  Must shop! (http://nytenday.blogspot.com)

- PixelDolls handed over some gorgeous looking tops and more additions to the latest mini-dress release.  (http://www.nafii.com/PixelDolls)

- Sioxie must be on a “cami” train lol.  She releases yet another installment of her ruched camisoles, this time in wild animal prints.  Love ‘em!  (http://secondwavefashion.blogspot.com)

- Tracy Scofield of Encore rereleases some of her favorites in pink to benefit the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer.  Stop by, pick up your favorites, and help benefit a worthy cause. (http://tracyscofield.blogspot.com)

- Ciera Bergman gives us girlie girls a girlie girl dress in “Gabbi II”.  OMG, it so shouts of spring, I luuuv it!  (http://vitaminci.blogspot.com)

- NEWEST DISCOVERY!  While on my continued tour of all those owning Subscribe-o-matics, I happened upon MEYA.  For those that don’t know, MEYA creates unique poses, mainly aimed at couples.  I was awestruck when I was camming around to view these poses.  Definitely a must stop for professional photographers.  Anyhoo, two new releases this week - “Busted”, aptly named for the naughty couple being caught offguard ;o), and “Lazin”, which actually comes in two variations.  Check it out! (http://meyaposes.blogspot.com)

- ATTENTION ALL MY CONTENT CREATORS THAT CREATE SHOES!!  You better have sent in your applications for the SL Footwear Expo to Phoenix Chapman.  I will verily disappointed and perplexed if I know you make shoes and don’t see you there.  (http://phoenixchapman.com/shoefair)

Have a wonderful shopping-filled weekend!

PSSST….this was my 100th post!!!!!!

I guess in my month or so away from being totally focused on blogging, I missed an apparant (yet quiet) uproar in the so-called “Blogger Review Policy”.  I say so-called because some fellow bloggers put out very strict rules as to what they will review (or else) and others could really just care less.   And it was weird, because the other day I was getting about seven or so IM convos about this very thing, without anyone knowing I was discussing it with anyone else.

So, here is my so-called “Review Policy”, in the form of a Q&A.

I gotta keep you people entertained somehow, don’t I?

(I’ll break it here so as not to fill the feed.  But feel free to come on over and read…and comment…and sing…and recite poetry….)

~* Adored Clothing *~
~* Designer:  AmySue Shirakawa *~

Ok…..apparantly, I own skirts.  And apparantly…..I like owning skirts.

Skirts are fun.  Skirts are cute.  Skirts are sexy.

And that’s what AmySue makes.  Fun.  Cute.  Sexy.  And no, she doesn’t make just skirts!

Adored Clothing makes your little girlie avatar look cute and sexy and like you are just there to have fun. (did I mention that already?) AmySue fills her mainstore with an array of pants outfits, skirt outfits, formal dresses, costumes…..even shoes, hats and hair.  And every item has her own touch, making it truly an Adored item.  Below are my favorites that I wanted to share with you that will truly give you an idea of what Adored Clothing can bring to your sexy avie.

~* Kylie in Black & Red, Lyric in Black *~

- Kylie:  well, I had to start off with a non-skirt outfit so you would believe me! (although, the set does come with a skirt lol!).  Very clean, the high-waisted pants keeps your curves with the outfit, making it simply sexy wiithout showing much.  Of course, the peekaboo in the cleavage never hurts.

- Lyric:  this is such a unique dress.  The asymetrical layering in the skirt makes the dress salsa-esque, but elegant enough to wear to the most formal of affairs.  Beautiful and sexy.

~* Sexy Cowgirl in Black, Sophia Black Teddy *~

- Cowgirl:  yeah, I know.  Still no skirts.  But they’re coming!!  So here is the….ermmm…skin pic lol.  We start off with this awesomely sexy cuteness in a cowgirl costume.  And AmySue even gives you the option of buying the cowboy hat with color changeable hair to go with it.  Very very very sexy.  Watch out for hotness here.

- Sophia:  I was so happy when I found this in my inventory.  I put it on and I was like, “wow!  That is hot!”.  The little detailing on the entire outfit makes the outfit pop and….well…yeah…your loved one will be loving you. ;o)

~* Valerie in Red, Clarisse in Tan, Renee in Purple *~

- Valerie:  told you they were coming!  Valerie is the casual cutie.  I LOOOOOVE the corset type vest over the open button down shirt.  It brings such detail to the outfit.  The prim cuffs give more depth and the skirt is just cute.  So there. :op

- Clarisse:  this is an interesting outfit as it incorporates the camo design in only a small portion.  But it works.  It gives the dress an urban feel that is very appealing.  And AmySue also includes boots to go with it (sorry!  I realized after the fact I didn’t include the WHOLE boot.  But you get an idea.).  Cute and sexy yet again.

- Renee:  ok, I had to have my purple.  You all know this.  This….is a hot clubbing outfit.  The skirt has flexi ribbons on each side and add either the Renee boots or your own favorite cloppers and you are ready to party it up sexxxy style.  Love it.

So there it is.  Are you hungry for this yet?  You should be.  Click the SLurl below and get to the shopping!

P.S. I don’t know if it’s how I processed the photos in Flickr or WordPress or just my laptop, but if the pics look a little funny to you as well, you can view them on my Flickr stream:  http://www.flickr.com/photos/8915824@N03/

Yup, it’s my RL birthday today.

And this is what I walked into this morning at my desk.

Can’t say I’m not loved.  Or at least work with the best gang of loonies this side of the Hudson.

Since some of my co-workers read my blog or are SLers themselves, thank you guys!  I love you!

~*~ Aly ~*~

I am obsessed with these shoes.  My RL co-worker wears them and I absolutely drool each time I see them.

Has someone already created these?  If so, please point me in the right direction.

If not, SOMEONE PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE MAKE THEM!!!  My virtual self must have them!!!

Thanks to my co-worker for letting me drool over her feet. ;o)

~*~ Aly ~*~

So I was poking around my inventory, sorting out things I want to blog up soon, and my eyes caught some names that I have not heard hind nor hair of in a loooong time.

Whatever happened to….

Rising Phoenix Designs (Ariel Black) and Naughty Designs (Ambyance2 Anubis & Lost Thereian)?

RPD housed unique fashions.  I loved how different Ariel’s designs were.  She was also among my first Fashion posts (read here).  But sadly there has not been a peep heard since December.  Her blog remains unupdated (http://rising-phoenix-designs.blogspot.com) and the store has not seen any changes as well.  Where’d she gooooooo?

Naughty Designs was simply decadent.  Lost and Amby had a hand (and a refined one at that!) in the greatest ends of fashion:  clothes, hair, skin.  Having pulled all of their masterwork together into one sim mall, it looked they were ready to take off.  And then…..nothing.  It just stopped.   The blog has not been updated since June of last year (http://naughtydesigns.squarespace.com) and there have been no changes of notice seen at the mall housing their creations.  My skin is from ND (gifted from a friend) and I had dropped a notecard on both Amby and Lost in hopes of obtaining the remainder of the set.  But I have not heard anything nor confirmation that the notecard has been received.  Where did these brilliant minds go?

Anyone know where these people are hiding?  Are they ok?  Are they still around in another form?

Inquiring minds is thirsty to know!!!!

~*~ Aly ~*~

So here I am, getting my stuff together (mainly my brain) to get back in the routine of blogging, and lo and behold, upon journeying through SL Fashion Planet, I find………………….

A SHOE EXPO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My prayers have been answered!!  And I’m so giddy, I can’t stop smiling!

(insert geek names here)

Anyhoo, it is being organized by Phoenix Chapman - of whom I left a neurotically happy thank you message, so I’m sure she thinks I’m nuts.

Here is the poster from her blog:

Right now, it looks it is in the vendor recruitment stage.  So - if you make shoes, YOU BETTER BE SIGNING UP!!!  Or I will withhold all M&Ms until you do!!

Keep up to date with Phoenix’s blog, Be Less Stupid.

OMG!!!  Happiness!!
