Look of Saturday
If you need any SLURLs, don’t be afraid to ask here, Plurk or in world. I delete all my landmarks because I like to have the smallest inventory possible, but I’ll help out anybody who would like it.
Shane’s RL V-Day.
What else is there to do when physically alone but lounge around your house in your underwear? St Valentine is everywhere. He’s on the radio, he’s on TV, and when yours is too far away to fathom, company is found in books (read as: video games, but I wanted to seem intellectual) and Mad Men Season 1 with your mother. Ha. Anyway, though our SL house is much better than my RL one, I tried to replicate today in picture form for fun.
Surf Couture!
This is a true story here, no lie. I remember when I used to roleplay on the Kindly Sim (something I miss terribly btw) with my sister, Noelle Parisi. We were claiming to be twins and thus needed a wardrobe to match that. We were scouring the whole SL universe for something we can call our own and we ran into a little shop called Surf Couture. I’ve never heard of the shop before, but it had the cutest summery things in it. After going “OMG!!! WE FOUND A STORE”, Noelle and I went nuts and probably dropped 5K in an hour buying everything. The best buy were the basic flats, something I still wear to this day. Everyone asked where we got the flats from and we’d either “crash”, pretend we didn’t understand english, or ignore that person. There was one girl in particular who used to whine and whine and WHINE but we never told her where we got the items for. That was until one of our friend said “Lolz~ just inspect them~~” Though I’m against anti shields, I would have loved to have one back then. Surf Couture was our special store and every day we’d pop over to see if there was something new.
Fast forward to Friday, I had an offline from Emma Gilmour who asked said she liked reading my blog and wondered if I wanted to blog her new releases. Um, seriously? I’ve never geeked out over a person so much than I have her because I love her stuff hardcore. I watched her store grow for two years now and the thought she read Shane and I’s blog and she liked it??? Yeah, I fan girled. And I’m fan girling right here. I can’t help it. Surf Couture has been my shit for years now and each release is better than the release before. I know I sound like a nerd/stalker but these are quality clothes here. How do I know these are quality clothes? Well Shane was wearing the Havana Dress for hours with long hair and heels. Yes, SHANE. I should’ve snapped a picture of her.
There are new releases there that a lot of people have been blogging about which I think is a good thing. There’s the Havering Dress, Slouchy Thread Sweater, Belmar Skinny Jeans, Rendezvous Printed and V Necks. The Belmar Skinny jeans do not have any prims, but sock attachments to complete the look. Usually I don’t like skinny jeans without sculpties, but these are so well made. You shouldn’t really hide them with boots even though I did in one picture. They also come in an optional dot print version.
So after a lazy weekend, Shane and I realized we wanted to get this stuff out and show you how awesome Surf Co. is, as if you already didn’t know. Everything comes on all layers which is good if you’d like to create a stunning outfit to piece. I rambled enough, let’s get to the pics.

Long time no blog, eh?
Trevor Turner was fabulous and dropped Clear and I some of his new argyle sweater vests. Guess what? I LOVE ARGYLE SWEATER VESTS, and though it’s taken me a while to gear up all of my energy into making my way to this blog, there’s no way I’m not gonna tell you guys to go down and pick one up. I also noticed today that Gritty Kitty has a new hair (at least new to me!) called Da Vinci Reloaded and ZOMG, it’s the perfect thing. I’m a hat freak IRL, so in game it’s pretty much the same. In any event, onward and upward, to the pictures and style card that actually pertain to the posting at hand!
KILLER POST: AWESOME BLOSSOM!
Clementine Ishtari is good at a lot of things (most I can’t name here) but I had no idea she would be so talented when it came to making little things to sell. I should’ve, she’s talented, and she has one of those outlooks that are the polar opposite of mine; she’s joyful. When I got back from another kick ass trip, I came back to her having made some bits and bobs for Christmas. As a regular Scrooge who owns a Ba Humbug! Santa hat IRL, this wouldn’t phase me, but it is, of course, Second Life, and any and all readers know that I have a fetish for little things outside of the box otherwise labeled as Fashion. So let’s please welcome, the Noel-ified Shane Kirshner. From my computer to yours.
Have a taxi ride, beep beep.
Walking in a winter wonderland… (in November but still, this is SL.)
Clear blogged before. I love when she blogs. She looks at the SL world with less congested eyes than me. Originally, when I was shooting these pictures (the first time, before I saw some hair on someone else’s blog that I wanted instead of the one I’d originally been wearing) I came up with a poem, flowing out as I walked around. It’s gone, but that doesn’t have to put a stop to me showing the awesomeness that is Winterstock. It’s a beautiful sim, I can even see that with my graphics on low. I wanted to give a feel of loneliness in the cold, using the silent hill windlight setting (which, again, am sure looks better on high or ultra) but I think with the help of the mini vodka bottle from Somethin’ in your Mouth helped a lot. Take a look. Maybe I’ll even include my style card, woop woop.
Oh and by the way? Check our our skin fair outfits.
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
There are exactly 50 days left until Christmas. Can you believe the year is almost up? I can’t. Personally I’m not a fan of Christmas shopping, but I love Christmas “Give me Presents now” time. I know that’s selfish but blame it on being an only child. I can’t wait until I get my first pay check in November so I can start buying giftcards (and only giftcards) for my family and friends. Gliteratti is already getting ready for the season by releasing a few goodies for Christmas. The Christmas Market sim is literally days away or it’s probably up right now because I’m kinda of slow when remembering things and the sweet Katey Coppola has released these amazing presents you can sit on for your Christmas pictures/cards as well as a brand new pose set Shane and I are modeling in the first picture. Also there’s a HUGE SALE going on at Gliteratti where most of her pose sets are for 100L. Plus her couples/group poses are 100L and her fatpacks are 50 percent off. Word on the SL street is that there’s a contest coming up and considering the last contest she had she gave over 100,000L in linden and prizes, this is going to be amazing.
Because we love Katey’s stuff and her poses cater our bodies almost perfectly (we’re little women!) We decided to put on some winter clothes, forget fall momentarily and head for winter. We’re not showcasing the clothes. It’s all about the Xmas-y poses that’s going to be coming to Gliteratti in the next few days. Shane is posing with the male gift box that has 5 poses that all you do is sit on and use the menu to shuffle through the poses, and I’m using the female version.
Halloween in SL.
I’m a virgin when it comes to Second Life Halloween – this is my first. Thus far, it hasn’t been disappointing. I didn’t manage to get a costume I stuck with, but I did throw a few pieces together to get my final look, which I’m not blogging. I technically started playing this game in October 2006. That’s three years ago for those of you, like me, who have lost all hold on time and space, as though the world is building up to the cataclysmic meltdown as predicted by the Mayans years and years in the past. In my first couple of weeks, I met a girl called Elle Kirshner, at (I think) a club called Hooters n Shooters. She’d made friends with Clear, and since we shared the last name, for that one night we referred to each other as cousins. I look back on this fondly, as it was only hours later when my computer decided it no longer wanted to handle SL anymore. Little did I know, when I was brought back to the grid, 2 1/2 years later, Elle would be an awesome builder and owner of Second Spaces. I love her furniture. It’s so classic, and I worship the little writing desk I keep meaning to buy. In any event, Clear passed me over the Second Spaces Halloween bits and bobs to blog, which is what this is, combined with a little of my Halloween outfit and a dog that looks like my RL one! (Yay.)
Barcode’s Mom Sweaters.
Yesterday I found a cool sim walking around with Shane and I thought it’d be a good idea to take a few pictures on it. I installed a new viewer, SnowGlobe, and every time I tried to take a picture I’d crash. I suppose it’s back to Gemni for me, or at least until I can figure out why the Imprudence Viewer’s voice doesn’t work. You know me, I love listening to other people’s conversations in stores. At any rate, today I’m going to show off new items that can be found in Barcode’s store. It’s hard to believe that Makenzie Irling has just started making clothes about a little over two months ago. I’ve been trying forever to make clothes and I can barely know how to pull my pants up if they’re sticking through boots I’m wearing at the moment.
Les Girls!
