A day in the life of Fallacy

First off, HI! I'm very honored that Eden has been so gracious as to allow me to blog here with her! *hugs Eden* I love her to pieces, and I really hope I do her blog justice! :D

For my first post, I though I would do a little comic strip, of sorts, to show off my find of the century! Anybody that knows me, knows my luck with gacha machines. They are evil things, that I firmly believe house magical trolls who have some sort of deal going with karma, and leprechauns. Neither, of which, like me - apparently. Anybody who's played those blasted machines know full well how difficult it is to get the particular item you want (unless you're in good with the leprechauns), and if you want the rare, well ......yeah. So, on a routine shopping trip the other day, I visited the "Luck of the Irish Gacha Fair", where I found the BEST POSE SET EVER CREATED! It's from NanTra, and it's called "Gimme my *%&*$! Rare". I've never met the creator, but when I saw that, I wanted to tacklehug her, and possibly give her a foot rub. She completely captured the entire gacha experience with 1 pose series. So, behold! "A day in the life of Fallacy".

This, ladies & gentlemen, pretty much sums up my gacha trips.

I did manage to get a few items that I wanted - one, of which, will be pictured below. A totally cute necklace, from Cute Poison. But even if I wouldn't of gotten anything else the entire day, those poses DEFINITELY made it worth the trip! :D

So, on that note, I will end my first official post here on Knoller, with my look of the day. See you next time! ^.^

FFL: Get Over There!

Today is the last official day of Fashion for Life for 2012 so if you have not, please go and buy one of everything.  FFL is SL's largest fundraiser and benefits Relay for Life.  This year's Chairperson, Harper Beresford, amongst others, has given countless hours to the event and so much effort has been made for the shopping experience to be pleasant.  The 10 themed sims are all unique and some are spectacular.

I am showing a number of items using Miamai's Lilli dress as a backdrop that can be picked up at FFL, all of which 100% of the proceeds benefit Relay for Life.  Most stores will be taking the special vendors back to their main stores if you do not make it to the event, but the event gives you a chance to see many at once as well as see participants newest releases.

Loue is one of Miamai's newest releases.  Not exactly gown length but more of a maxi ballerina it features an elegant feathered collar piece that adds so much chicness.  You can find it right now at Miamai.

Suzie Q & Back to Black

Lovely Plurabelle Laszlo from Bliensen & MaiTai has released a new jewelry set called Suzie Q that I absolutely adore.  It suits my penchant for things mod and structural.  I always try and figure out what is Plurabelle's source of inspiration when she creates but this time I've not a clue and that does not leave me any less satisfied with the results.  She has made the sets in 3 color sets which I've shown in the photos.  Her inworld group, Bliensen & MaiTai, which is free to join has a pair of Suzie Q earrings in a special color, which leaves me yearning for the rest of the set in those colors.

Chic Management is returning to it's roots with the Back to Black event which launches on February 11. The event is a mental health awareness event (not charity) that is thematic.  Designers were giving categories such as Survival, Hope, Fighter and asked to create at least one new item that was inspired by the theme.  The designers have included an informational notecard that sometimes discusses their own experiences with mental health/illness and Keira bravely shared part of her own story online. I have my own stories about this issue as well as an over 25 year career in the field, which I may share if so inspired.  Right now, however, I have a lot of ground to cover because there are so many great items offered at the event.

The Back to Black event has a wide variety of products in it's offering. It is not just female clothing. There are male items, skins, poses, prefabs, furnishings that should appeal to most sensibilites.  In the credits I will note which items are part of the Back to Black event as B2B.  The location will be available when the event begins so slurls will be to the designer's main store.

Skin & Shape Expo 2011: Idiosyncrasy

Ashia Tomsen, the creator and genius behind Idiosyncrasy, will forever hold a very special place in my heart. Ash was one of the first people with whom I revealed my obsession with all things fashion in SL.  Ashia is the person that started me blogging and she is one of the the most savvy, honest women I've had the honor to meet in SL.  Ashia has been making skins for several years now and she is undoubtedly a stickler.  Any skin you get from Idiosyncrasy has been painstakingly made and checked from top to toe hundreds of times for imperfections.  Her new line, Natasha, named for a treasured friend, receives it's inspiration from the rebellious spirit of Biba cosmetics as well as MAC's Surf Baby collection.  It premiers exclusively at Skin & Shape Expo 2011, which runs through May 22nd.

Natasha is available in 3 skin tones: Pale, Natural and Dark.  Each single pack contains 12 skins with 3 cleavage options, teeth options, light and dark brows, as well as a dark and light tat layer hair base and a full body tattoo layer.  Ashia is nothing if not thorough.

I wanted to show you the full body tattoo layer because Ashia has so carefully placed freckles in proportion to where they would fall in real life.  Ash doesn't do anything half way and the grid is a lovelier place for it.

Skin & Shape Expo 2011 is donating to Direct Relief International and each store has at least 1 items where 100% goes to the charity.
