A little bunny told me..


Its that time again, Springtime! Fi's Creation's has made this gorgeous little spring dress that you can get for free in the Fi's Egg Shell Hunt...yay! Hunts can be fun, and let's admit ladies, sometimes the gifts are not necessarily awesome, but this one is top of the line. The detailing in the cloth is superb and the pattern is just perfect. This one is worth finding!  See below in the details for the link to the blog for the hunt to get more info and hints :) 

And, if you are a fan of Birdy skins, or even if you have not seen them, now is the time to go check them out. They have a new mainstore, and a lovely gift out for VIPs. Join the group and get yours. Birdy skins are deliciously detailed and I just love their unique look.

Shiny Things...


 

Easter is just around the corner and I just love Easter Egg hunting.. don't you? Lots of goodies you can find in them! If you want to get the jewelry set I am wearing, you can join the Zuri Rayna jewelry Group and find the easter eggs at her mainstore.. filled with this lovely set of jewels. 

I couldn't really take off the pretty dress from Tashi, the fit was perfect.. and it matched the jewelry so well, it would have been a shame not to use it together.

kiss me before you go...



I had the pleasure of trying out the new Kissers mesh mouth and loved the fact that Lumae has appliers for it. Kissers is from .:Soul:. and come preloaded with a HUD to fit the Soul skins. Of course, creators are able to get a kit to create appliers for their skins  as well. 

I like the idea of various options for mesh parts, and the Kissers mouth are lovely. I have on the Cupids Pout, but there are other variations as well. You can check out a demo at the .:Soul:. Mainstore and try on the Cupids Pout, Open, Smiling, Vampire, Orc and Neko versions. 

Now, as with all mesh items, there will need to be some type of adjustments and modifications made to your own shape in order to be able to wear them. I find that Kissers was the most realistic look of the mouths I've seen, but it did need the most modification of my actual face shape to make them fit. Of course, they are mod too so I did take advantage of that and did a little adjusting until I got it to my liking. 

If you are like me and like to try various looks, you may like to try this new mesh mouth and its various options to create a unique and individual style. 

I hope you do give these a try, and check out the rest of Soul's creative and lovely items while you are there :) 

Happy shopping!

photos taken @ Hazardous (bottom photo) and FucknFilthy(top photo)  (yes, as the name denotes, its an adult sim, but the owner was a gracious gentleman who was happy to let me do photos there.. so if you are looking for a well done darker adult area to take pics, this is a well done little area) 

As a photographer, I don't worry much about the rating of the sims where I shoot, mostly because I have found that the ones that are rated mature and adult tend to have the atmosphere I am looking for. 
I will try to include the SURLs of the places where I do pics, incase anyone is interested. 

I'll be doing more posts from the RAFF as well as other newness over this weekend so stay tuned! 

with much love.. <3
Tessy


you can't touch this...

And we have more newness! Sneak Peek just started and if you haven't checked it out, you still have time to go see some new and awesome designs. You can find this dress from AFI Designs, perfect for any adventure you may get into. I loved the textures on it and it fit perfect over the Maitreya Mesh body.

 And this skin! Wow Skins, Sidney for the Rock Attitude Fashion Fair.. gorgeous! I decided to wear it with the Sweetlips mouth as Wow now has appliers for them, and I really liked how it turned out. Really a glam look, and though I rarely really wear that on a regular basis, being a jeans and cardigan kind of girl, a bit of glam is fun sometimes ^_^

I bet you think this song is about you, don't you..


Today I bring you some new fun items from Lushish Catz and [nn].
The top and bottom come with system layers as well as appliers for boobs and bums. As much as I adore my Maitreya mesh body, I really love the look of mesh breasts and the mesh booties as they lend themselves to a more voluptuous look..and can you blame me? I love the lushness and sensuality of the curves they create.  Any designer that makes appliers for them wins serious points in my book. 
These heels from [nn], Ora Heels, are just perfectly matched with not only this outfit but also with almost any look. With a color HUD to change the colors of the shoe, straps and hardware, you can mix and match to suit your needs. Multiple looks in one shoe? Win win for me!


top and jeans: Lushish Cat, Sweetheart outfit with appliers 

heels: [nn] Ora Heels with HUD

love your body...



While taking a break from blogging, I ended up blogging! lol! Actually, this is something near and dear to my heart, and I couldn't pass up the chance to do a commentary/pic in support of body acceptance. I came across the skins in .:Soul:., created by Lerochelle Destiny and one of the demos I tried had a notecard describing why the creator made the skin as it was, with a "soft" belly. She described how her daughter, just about 10, commented on how she wished she was "thin". As a mother to two beautiful girls, that just broke my heart, as I understand the feeling of not wanting to look like you do, and I would never want that for my babies. The creator went on to ask that anyone who either bought the skin or just tried the demo, to please wear it on a larger, curvier shape, and post it to her flickr, so she could show her daughter that fuller figured still was beautiful. 

Now, I will take it a step further and say.. ANYBODY is beautiful. The beauty that we see inside is what radiates, even if you are a size 2 or 22. We come in all shapes and sizes, and we should accept and celebrate that, rather than make someone feel ashamed of their body, small or large. And, yes, I know some will bring in the issue of health, but if you are a size 6 and you barely eat, you can be just as unhealthy as someone who is carrying extra weight. Extremes are dangerous, gentle moderation and striving to be healthy are what  we need to teach. 

I have two girls. Both are beautiful in their own right, and both deserve to be loved for the spirit within them. I think they are absolutely gorgeous, but that's a proud momma talking ;) 


I am a very proud Mommy.. and I love my body. It grew and carried two healthy babies and birthed them in love. My body is round, soft and strong.. It can do amazing things, bring intense pleasure and serves me daily to care and nurture my family. How is that not beautiful? 

In the end, the message is OWN your body. Treat it as the temple it really is, for YOU carry the Goddess inside (or God, as you may wish). See that eternal soul in everyone and you will see that there is little to the outside that can compete with the love and inner light and beauty we carry. 

Its up to us to create the change we want to see in the world, as one very wise man said.

Blessed are the children of the Horned One..







____________________  

I will not be blogging for a couple of weeks due to real life taking more of my time with family health issues, but I expect to be back to a regular schedule towards the end of March. I am currently in search of a job as well, and have been drawn to this song as I have been "on the hunt" so to speak , for a new job. I'm sending out a prayer to Herne, to guide me in this hunt... 
I hope you are all well and take a moment to hug those you love. Remember, we are only here for a short time, so fill your life with light and love..
