A Hot Box Full of Egoisme!

Ok. Hi!

I'm a teensy bit late getting this post out because I became addicted to listening to podcasts at night because I love being read to. Then I accidentally ran over my data plan in about two minutes flat and flipped out at 3 am because I didn't know what that would cost me for listening to an hour of this hilarious woman talking about scamming theatres and cruise lines on my iPhone.

So I took the time today to pay homage to Egoisme and the fabuloooous Ramses Meredith (also a shout out to Alon Alphaville whose endless search to hear me DJ is very touching) with this neat item I bought called the Hot Box from PNP Poses.  I thought it was appropriate. Also, you get to see me as a man, which is always fun, I think.

I was pretty excited when these first two ensembles came through the Egoisme blogging pipeline.  They are from the pret a porter line at Egoisme. This one is called "Man in Black" and features an open-collared black shirt with rolled sleeves, light enough for the upcoming spring and summer nights.  I am a huge fan of being unisexy and the tartan pants that came with the shirt I shall also be sporting as a lady as well.  If you want to sport your Egoisme love, it comes with a great belt with the store logo. I shall be sporting it in the next photo!  Oh and yes that is the new Byron skin and shape which you will also see later in the post.

This is the other newly released item in the pret a porter line, "Exotic Dream." I was just looking through my inventory for an outfit called "Erotic Dream." ::cough:: So anyhoo...this set is a see-through tank top (no imagination to see the nips needed here, ladies and gents!) and slick leather pants a slight caramel design.  These are so detailed that I didn't put that shine on there.  I don't even know how to do that mmkay?  Ramses made my job easier and put that shine on the pants.  It's fine. He's a genius. Whatever. gobuyit What? Okay on to the skins!

This is the Byron skin and shape.  It was easy for me to remember because I have an uncle named Byron but he doesn't look like this and he's Mormon. No offense to the Mormons. I'm just not Mormon. Anyway.
I'm going to list what samplings I took from the big giant fat pack Ramses sent to me because otherwise I wouldn't have time to do anything else. Ever.

This lovely sampling is: Evian Byron Pale Torso A Hair Happy Trails

Evian Byron Medium Torso A Hair Body Hair

Let me explain my concept here.  This is: Evian Byron Tan Torso B Hair with Beard A and Wolverine 
I realize it looks like Byron has been baking.  But what I have chosen to do is display some tattoo beard options that are tintable on the Tan skin so you can see better what I'm talking about.  The Wolverine option is something I was really excited to see, not just because I'm a Wolverine nerd but because I think facial hair options are fairly limited and not creative for the most part.  This is not the case here.  You could easily just throw on most of the beard options and still look awesome.  Trust me, I tried it.

Here is the same skin and tone but with the VividTone tattoo layer added.  This is a very cool feature because it allows you to buy a skin and then set the tone to what you want while keeping the details intact.

The Hot Box I used in the above photos is from PNP Poses.

This is also the same skin and in the same tone. It's a rare candid shot of a model after a shoot. Models are messy and they eat fast.  Actually, this is a lie. Models eat invisible food.  This is just a messy gravy tattoo I found in my inventory I have been dying to use in my blog forever. I don't even know who made it.

Do You Have a Lisp for Spring?

No? Well hop on down to Lisp and touch their subscriber to get the lovely Granny's Knitting Circle gift they just sent out! It's adorable and very calming!  It comes with orange soda, a book and knitting projects as props and a trunk with a book, glasses, tea, flowers and a yarn ball on the ground.  Don't forget the floral lawn chairs that my grandma would have loved to sit in and tell some yarns. See what I did there? Boom tish!

Hat's Off (Or Rather, On) To Xen!

It's no secret I love hats.  It's also no secret I love being part of the community.  After my last post Xenobia Foxclaw of Xen's Hats sent me some of the hats she has out at the Fashion for Life event. 
I'm not going to drivel on about how sweet Xen is, even though I should. I'll do that in private, thank you.  Following are just some of the hats she has to offer at the Fashion for Life event.  Please go and support the American Cancer Society or if you cannot then educate yourself through their website here and enjoy the photos of the hats!

Beyond the Sea...Hole!

This scene looks serene and peaceful but this lovely skirt and top was on mega sale at The Sea Hole due to Drinkenstein Sorbet being attacked by lightning in her mini van in RL!  Thus, she has put tons of items on sale for 50L each.  The items are marked by a white mini van being attacked by lightning. Too awesome!  The sale...I mean.  Below, you can see the mini van you are looking for in the store and also Drink's clever humor.

Style Card:
Hat and Sunglasses: Rainbow Wave Swimsuit Outfit: I think this was very, very cheap or free on marketplace but is made by HANDverk (the hat and glasses came with a cute swimsuit and waist wrap)

Top: The Sea Hole: I'm Knot in Love With You in indigo (See LM to store above)

Woo!

Soupy's [dirty.little.secret]

First off, I just want to let everyone know I am not freaking out about February 14th this year.  Instead, I'm going to celebrate and embrace Florence Henderson's birthday!  In fact, all month I will be eating chocolate and cutting out leetle hearts and drinking heavily in honor of Florence Henderson, coolest t.v. Mom evar! Of course, there's Mardi Gras, too!  Note: No boob flashing for beads will be tolerated in this blog...until the end of this sentence.

 So, the first thing one must do to celebrate Florence Henderson's birthday is don a fancy hat.  I would not say ridiculously fancy because sometimes...well, most times...fancy is ridiculous!  Which is what I love about it.  [dirty.little.secret] is celebrating by participating in a few hunts and having an in-store hunt as well!  Note my chappeau I'm wearing: it's called Valentine's Chappeau and it's available now! With flowers, balloons and yes, sparkling champagne for two, you'll be prepared for February 14th! Other items do not include my dirty truck (I sit in it alone!) but they do happen to include some 10L items such as the chappeau you see me wearing in my truck photo, a Valentine's Waist Cincher, Mardi Gras Waist Cincher, a swing and floral arrangements!  You must get these before March arrives because well, they'll either be sold for more than 10L or disappear altogether, only to exist in your shins as you kick yourself for not getting them.  Remember!  All of these items have everyday uses and can be added to any ensemble to make it more fancy!  Say it with me. FANCY. Or couture or whatev. You say couture; I say fancy.

 Oh hey! I broke into my friend Crystal's lovely home to give you a flash of [dirty.little.secret]'s hunt items.  See that horn I'm wearing? Well there's another part to it! This is the part with the dangly bit to it, though.  That's a heart on it!  You can get this as part of the Brutal Love Hunt. Oh, my scarf? Well. It's cozy enough to hold in the night breeze as you huddle outside of a 7-11 on February 14 checking the pay phones for magical Florence Henderson change!  To buy a burrito with.  It also is adorned with a lovely flower which I think smells fabulous.  It's a Be Loved Hunt gift!

On my way out of Crystal's house, I found all this "root beer" laying around and well, yes, I'm doing a backwards flip off her couch. Just before I crushed my head, though, I managed to snap this pic!  I'm sporting one of many Mardi Gras masks from [dirty.little.secret] and some awesome beads I didn't have to flash anyone for!  Score! As you can see, I have added a cape to the ensemble from Milk Motion (a former FLF offering) to make myself Souper Mardi Gras Chick! Again, I tell you, you can use all of these things year round if you're fancy enough.

So run, don't walk (or just teleport like I do) to [dirty.little.secret] and pick up your February items!

P to the S: The lovely person who owns the sim [dirty.little.secret] is on is a very giving person and has allowed Tash Porthos to have her store there at no charge.  Right now, proceeds from the store are being donated to the sim owner as they are having financial issues IRL. Be sure to tip the store and sim because it's a nice place and we should keep nice people around.  Contact Tash Porthos inworld if you have questions about helping the sim stay.  

Also check out my new Kit Kat Clock widget! It shows what time it is where I am! Fancy!

Florence Henderson would be so happy.

Boofing It Up!

When I think *Boof, which I often do, it's normally something silly and imaginative.

However, when Thena Claxton and Hanley Speiser devised the "Ready to Rumble" pose set, complete with wrestling ring and aluminum ladder, things got epic.  I heard Slim Jims being snapped in "Macho Man" Randy Savage's honor.  With seven poses included in the ring, all of which are available individually, you and your friends can have quite a rumble!

Thanks to Swan Kelberry who unintentionally ended up in the photos but was gracious enough to be patient with my slow as molasses photography.

Fun *Boof. blog!

Without further ado...Let'sssss Gettt Readyyy to Rumbleee!!!
