What Spanx can't do

Boom. That's the first word that popped into my head when I slipped on Prism's Marylin. The tight mesh sweater and pencil skirt really creates a curvy but utterly toned shape.



Why can't I find clothing like this in real life? Spanx can only do so much. Marylin comes in other patterns and colors, so if you need a shapely lift, click Prism Designs for a teleport to the store.

I have always been a SL virgin

I haven't been able to spend too much time in SL lately (you too huh?), but I remember talking to my friend Tiff and she told me there were mesh bodies. I said no way. Two weeks later, I got a mesh body. I'm such a follower! Actually, I was really curious. Like all shopaholics, I need a reason to buy stuff. Styles by Danielle's newest release Cornelia comes with appliers for the WowMeh mesh body. Naturally,  I wanted to try it.



Cornelia's slit skirt really shows off some leg, so my left leg was sleek and my butt was nicely rounded. If you love your Lola Tangos, Dani offers an applier for those as well. Cornelia also comes in tons of pretty colors, specifically sets of exotic and pastel colors, but its appeal is its versatility. Some of us have embraced mesh, while others are eh, so you can wear Cornelia traditionally or WowMehitionally.

Just for fun:

Tiffani Celestalis: Well if I do [get sl married], divorce and buy a new mesh body, do I regain my virginity?
Laylah Lecker: Yup
Laylah Lecker: You start all over!
Tiffani Celestalis: So you're a virgin again.
Tiffani Celestalis: probably not
Tiffani Celestalis: ok nvm
Laylah Lecker: I have always been a SL virgin. I never had a vagina
Laylah Lecker: tmi?

"Just bury your head in the sand and wait for your f***in' prom."

Have you ever been accused of ignoring reality? I used to....I know what you're thinking. I'm posting about SL, so I have to be somewhat involved with my fantasy life, right? Absolutely! However, I've become cynical lately. Not about SL, but real life work is rough and while I thought grad school was tough, I seriously miss it. I was only responsible for me. Now, at work, I'm responsible for others. I've never managed before, so I wish I could slap on a mesh head, yes in real life, that epitomized boss lady.



Speaking of which, have you met Veronica? Egoisme's newest skin Veronica comes with a mesh head and hands. I'm very familiar with hands, but this is my first go with the head.



It comes with two separate huds, for the head and hands, so you can switch up the makeup, nail color and their length. Also,  there's an open mouthed version as well, the option for ears or no ears (for those troublesome hairs), and hairbase options. I'm going to mess around with my shape tomorrow and tweak it for the skin, but I'm liking the perfection of the head. It's so smooth. It's a far departure from my regular Laylah look, but maybe I can ignore reality in my virtual reality, and "bury my head in the sand and wait for my f'n prom." ;)

Happy Memorial Day!

Happy Memorial Day weekend! Well, the weekend is just about up, so happy Memorial Day! If you have tomorrow off, I envy you! However, you probably deserve it more than I do. ;)



By way, Designer Showcase's round ends early this month, so tomorrow is your last chance to find any deals. Artizana's Aibrean in Coastful is such a cheerful outfit. The ruffle crop top is my favorite. I can only wear such tops in SL because my RL involves covering my belly. I can only suck in so long.

I accessorized with Lindy's Chelsea wedges and Elemental's Carinna's Necklace and Earrings, which are also available at Designer Showcase. All deals 100L or less! Click here for a lift.

Go Ask Alice

You're probably wondering what I mean when I write go ask Alice.  It's actually the title of one of my favorite books, but also my dear mother's name, or as I like to call her, much to my boyfriend's chagrin, mama. Regardless of how old I get, I still need my mama's advice. Mother's Day is this Sunday. How are you going to treat your mother or woman who's been there for you like a mother?



Danielle's Alice corset is not named for my mama, but clearly, it reminded me of her. She was quite the hottie in her day!



The Alice Mesh Corset also comes in Beige, Chocolate, and Olive. Are you a Danielle inworld group member? Danielle offers a special Alice in Bordeaux, and it's specifically for her group members. By the way, group members receive a 30% discount when purchasing the Alice corset. Click here for a lift to Styles by Danielle or if you feel like shopping out of world, click here for Styles by Danielle on MP.

If you are a mother, have a Happy Mother's Day!
