The Alphabet Challenge ~D~


Hmmm Asia looks like a homeless bench sleeping pimp in that pic :) Anyhoo D!

It was pretty easy this week as I actually had stuff in my inventory. I chose the vest and pants from DCNY, a pimp-eque (new word) hair hat combo from Dura and the Dante heels from Kalnins. Jewellery is past group or free item from Dark Mouse. I has a teeny problem finding a skin, then found an old 'Dressing Room' item from Dekade hiding among the cobwebs in my inventory.

Asia is wearing:
  • Pants- High Tide, Wheat -DCNY
  • Vest-Wheat Closed -DCNY
  • Hair/Hat- Arai Braid Up-Dura
  • Skin-Dahlia_sun kissed-Dekade (Old TDR Item)
  • Jewellery -DarkMouse
  • Shoes-Dante -Kalnins
Yay! blogged before breakfast.now it's toast and coffee time.

Have a great Monday x

52 Weeks of Colour-Khaki!

Here we are again, The weeks are really flying by now. What on earth will I blog about without 52WOC to urge/prompt me on?

Khaki is one of those colours that can be interpreted a couple of ways. Wiktionary describes it as a yellowish brown colour and the colour of dust. Where as I always thought Khaki was a green shade.

It doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things but the dress I used for this weeks challenge leans more towards that yellowish brown than the green.


I downloaded the latest Firestorm viewer after a suggestion/comment on one of my posts (Thanks for that Khloe) and....drum roll please......I LIKE IT!

All Firestorm ready I decided to try another mesh dress.. The dress is from Maii @ The Markeplace. The dress came with shoes and a shape (not worn) and this time it fitted me without any SL shape tweaking. It's a great dress and a great intro price of 99L$ makes it all the sweeter. The dress only comes in one size, BUT- there is a demo available to try the fit out.

A past Lelutka hair fair freebie and some bold jewellery from Elemental Earth Designs finished off my look.

52 Weeks of Colour- Brick Red!

Brick Red! We have had Fire Brick and now Brick Red, I wonder how many other 'brick' colours there are ? :)

Coffee in hand I fired up the lappy and toddled off to The Marketplace. The dress I found was priced at a teeny weeny 10L$, and no I didn't forget to add another 0. Passion4fashion also has an in world store.


The dress moves nicely and it's sooooooo inexpensive. Worth picking up for fancy dress or costume parties. I picked up a few things just in case I ever decide to reinvent myself as an English Scarlett O'Hara :-/  It comes with the cape/modesty boobie coverer thingy (shown above)or wear without for a sexier look.


I only added a bracelet, earrings and the ever popular 'Morrisania' hair from Damselfly and I was finished with another 52WOC. The bracelet and earrings are both really old group gifts from YS&YS

Have a great Sunday.

52 Weeks of Colour-Bronze!

Not wanting to break with my tried and tested pattern. I am LATE with this weeks colour.

I found a dress on The Marketplace that fitted to this weeks colour challenge. The package contains the dress with matching pumps and a shape (shape not worn) and cost 99L$. BUT it was mesh!

I am not currently using a mesh enabled viewer so had to step over to the dark side for a while (Viewer 3) to try the dress.

What can I say about my experience in using the official viewer? probably nothing that would be allowed on a 'no adult' content blog. It suckedddd. I could not get my eyes focused, rezzing took for ev-eeeeeeeeeeer and it just felt laggy and horrible.

Anyway after a lay down in a darkened room with an ice pack on my mouse finger & brain. Here is 'Bronze'


I was curious about the whole Mesh thing and TBH I wasn't blown away by it. That could be purely to do with the trauma (yes I said trauma) of using viewer3

What I wasn't crazy about:
  1. Asia has the figure of a malnourished stick insect but this dress was too small. I had to tinker with Asia's shape (think teeny hips, teeny body fat numbers)
  2. It made Asia look a bit blocky/chubby.
What I did like:
  1. No sticking out limbs when taking pics
The dress itself is as sexy as hell! I will be trying other mesh items but I will wait until Firestorm is mesh friendly.


Asia is wearing:

I will mention one more thing, While taking these pics I noticed I wasn't wearing my right hand prim nails. I re-wore them and my dress unattached (?!?)  LOL, luckily I was at home in my studio. Bare breasted with fab looking nails in public is not a look I will be trying anytime soon.

Kiss Kiss!

Alphabet Challenge ~A~

Boo!! Here I am again, preparing to jump aboard another blog challenge. This time it's the Alphabet Challenge thrown down by the girls at willowzee.com

The idea is to dress your avi head to toe in items who's name/store name or colour begin with the weeks designated letter.

As this is the first week I am participating the letter 'A' (obviously) is this weeks letter.

I used a mixture of new and old stuff from my inventory so NO extra shopping needed this week (sobs uncontrollably)




























Asia is wearing:
Ignore the umbrella (it started raining and I am claiming it as An umbrella haha )

Do you think I should change my name to Asia 2challenges Romano? ..hmm maybe not

See you on the flipside
