Have you seen the Easter bunny?

Even though I am an adult, the kid in me comes out with a vengeance for most holidays. Happy Easter if it applies to you! Did you go hunting for eggs and chocolate bunnies? I did and my basket is all mine!



Actually, you can get one of your own baskets too at Pose Fair 2013. The Poise Preen Set comes with a basket for the various poses, so you're ready to snap a pic, or head out to a hunt in style. The chocolate bunnies look yummy!



Try out Poise Poses at the pose fair. There are loads of awesome poses to suit every occasion. Click here for your lift!

Ticking Away

We all love exclusive LIV Glam ensembles right? Designer Samantha Jones has a way with textures, so the Imani Outfit, brand new for the Spring 2013 collection, is impeccable in its details. You can find this version at The Couturier's Dock. It's limited, and as of now (12:50 pm/slt) there are 43 left. It's a strapless design, so you take off the jacket to show off delicate shoulders and a slender neck.

Psst...pack a lunch. It's time for Pose Fair 2013!

Pose Fair 2013 is finally here, so you better pack a lunch because once you get there...you won't want to leave! It' open at 12 noon, so run out the door!



Ok...may have to wait a bit. The fair is already full! Don't be sad. It is open until April 14! Maybe you should join the Hottie Cooterati in-world group for first dibs on notices and landmarks. Hey...what's in your lunch box? Ooh peanut butter and jelly is my favorite too!



It seems dark out, but it's only the clouds. Aren't you glad I told you to pack a lunch? And no...it's not polite to wish someone would crash so we can get in.



Ok...I lied. It is allowed, but only for today! Hurry before someone takes our spot!



Hope you have a lot of fun at Pose Fair 2013! It's time to celebrate our pose creators! It's sure to be busy, but you'll be glad once you get in. Check out the list of pose creator participants and location at the Hottie Cooterati Experience Blog. Happy posing!

Well, fancy that...it's a Pose Fair 2013 sneak peek!

Ok...I couldn't resist, so I had to give a sneak preview! I was so happy when the Hottie Cooterati Experience accepted my application to be a blogger for Pose Fair 2013 because I really love Second Life animations. Grafica's Marionetta Poses are especially fitting for my first Pose Fair contribution since we are master manipulators...of our avis at least. ;) Whether we are full bodied avatars or a doll like shell, poses make us come alive because they have the ability to capture our movement and tell a story. 

Gorgeous clothes, hair, skin, and accessories give our avatars beauty, but poses give our three dimensional dolls life and allow us to portray our second lives or what only exists in our dreams.

If you have your own dream, fantasy, or story to tell, and you love poses as much as I do, it's almost time for Pose Fair 2013. The clock is ticking. I'll be blogging a lot about Pose Fair until the end. Join me in a celebration of pose artists and creators on March 29th at 12pm/slt.

Bosom Buddies and a Spring Fling

Don’t judge me! I’m still a bit shy, but yes I jumped on the Lolas Bandwagon. In my defense, so many designers are incorporating the appliers in their clothes, so I had to see for myself. However, I did make a costly mistake. If you’re considering getting a pair, make sure they are mesh. I didn’t read the sign properly, I’m a horrible skim reader, so I bought the non-mesh.



After my purchase, I was convinced my boobs were broken because none of the appliers worked. Finally, the light bulb went off. My boobs weren’t mesh, so I had to invest in a mesh pair. Don’t make my mistake. I actually prefer the standard avatar breasts, but I’ll play with the mesh breasts (no…not that way) for photos.



The whole point of my rambling was to reveal this week’s Bitch Tails outfit over at Acid Lily. BT Spring Fling is a complete outfit, so that means it comes with ultra-low rise jeans, bow tie flats, and a lacy cropped top, with—you guessed it—Lola appliers. Complete outfits are always nice because they are convenient or we can mix and match to our hearts’ content.



By the way, my Glitterati pose prop "Shuttered" was on sale for fifty linden Friday, but  Ms. Katey Coppola is keeping it out for one more day. It has 5 built in poses and fresh pastel colors for spring.

Don't forget to celebrate the beginning of the week at Acid Lily. As every Monday, there are new designer collections, for 70L and under, out in the showcase for your shopping pleasure.

How to be a Girly-Girl

Acid Lily has a hunt AND awesome deals for you this week. The Spring is Near Hunt is still in full swing, but you only have a couple more days to take a look at this week's designer collection. I must confess. I don't normally wear jackets, but the Spearsong Smokers Jacket is seriously girly.



I'm wearing the Floral version, but there are other prints at Acid Lily. It's not just the floral print that makes this jacket so feminine. It's  the cut. It's a slim cut and hugs the body, so it accentuates a woman's delicate curves. I love it!

I Tawt I Taw a Wabbit

Do you see what I see? Upon your first glance, you may see a chic black and white mini dress; however, K Collection's new series Pet Love is a surprising take on textures. The snowy white rabbit is a quirky addition to a timeless silhouette.



The Pet Love Series has other prints, so if you love animals and love to stand out, check out the K collection. Need the perfect bag to go with your new dress? The Pet Love Series also has Bunny Clutches, but for this styling I brought out LIV Glam's Jones clutch. The clutch has a built in pose, so you can stand in style.

Check out the clutch and dress over at LIV Glam. Tons of new releases, so prepare to shop. Happy shopping!

S.I.N.

The weather is getting nice, at least in my part of the world, but it's always warm and sunny in SL, so get some warm weather goodies during Acid Lily's Spring is Near hunt. The hunt kicked off today, and all the items have to do with springtime. LavandaChic offers the cutest little dress ever.

By the way, do you like my Secret Garden?



I wish it had a nice fishing spot. Hint alert! If you want to add LavandaChic's dress to your wardrobe, here is your hint: "This looks like a nice fishing spot."

If you like my little MishMish Shrubbles, you can get your hands on one of your own. It squeaks! It also comes with this holding animation. Shrubbles love to eat oranges. I'm so obvious with hints! I need to work on that, but if you want your own Shrubbles, MishMish  asks: "Is that an orange tree?"

Click the hunt sign below for the starting location at even.flow.



For more hints and previews, check out Acid Lily's blog. All items are only 5L and will kick start your spring. Happy hunting!

A Time to Dance

it's the beginning of a new week, thus, Acid Lily has a brand new collection out! I love Beyond the Star's casual outfit Just Another Day. It's a partial mesh outfit, and the layered top comes in a variety of colors, and all colors are included!

The mesh hoodie has a subtle pattern and the mesh capris are comfortable enough to dance in.  I like to keep it casual in both my lives. If you do too, pick up Just Another Day for yourselves.

LIV Glam at Zenshi

Have you visited LIV Glam lately? The main store always has beautiful and casual ensembles for all fashionistas, but I'm wondering if you've gone to LIV Glam at their Zenshi South location because there are exclusive items! The Spring 2013 Caressa Satin Puffy Dress is one of my favorites so far.



I love its girlish silhoutte combined with a low neckline that definitely makes one feel like a woman. Via a hud, you can choose from six jewel tones, so as always, you may choose your favorite color combinations. Click here for your limo to LIV Glam at Zenshi South.

You Only Live Once

I've been a little preoccupied this week. The last Arcade event demonstrated that I have no self-control! I thought I fixed that bad habit, and maybe I did? No...I really didn't. The Arcade is addictive fun and hey! Like my Spearsong T-shirt reads, you only live once!



The SS mesh shirt and vest are available at Acid Lily until Sunday. There are loads of others to choose from, but this one was most appropriate for my situation. Oh and a word of advice if you decide to try your luck at the arcade...tell yourself you only are allowed to click once more on each Gacha. I kept telling myself that...but I said once many times. Ok, that's bad advice, but I have no discipline. For a sure deal, head on down to Acid Lily before this week's collection is gone.

In Bloom

LIV Glam is taking part of Fashion for Life! 100% of the proceeds from her sales goes to the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life. It's an important event because it's a real life cause that seeks to fund research and raise awareness for cancer. Click here to read about its cause. LIV Glam's Lovisa Scarf Dress comes with a hud, as do most of her items, so one will have a variety of colors to choose from. However, the gorgeous floral print remains. It's fitting to have such a vibrant floral print because flowers are always fresh and so full of life when we tend to them.



I think it's the perfect print for Fashion for Life's concept. It takes a helping hand to allow people, ideas, and causes to grow. The fundraiser starts March 9, 2013 at 12 noon/slt. Click here for a direct lift to LIV Glam at Fashion for Life.

Peacock Pride

Acid Lily's new showcase is out! While pink is my signature color (ok, that sounded like Julia Roberts for some reason hmmm), I do love all shades of blue too, and MoYaz's Happy Peacock incorporates a stunning shade of blue. Happy Peacock feels like a casual bohemian chic style to me and just the kind of dress I like to wear while strolling on the beach.

Lazy Day

I've got two Spring breaks! One for my own school and one for my work. That's one of the perks of working at a college and going to another one ;) Thus, I feel like lazing around. The sun is warm on my legs, but it's still slightly chilly outside so I threw on a cropped sweater.
