An Invigorating Dose of Venom

As they say in New Orleans, Laissez les bons temps rouler! For those of you who doesn't know what this means, it translates to Let the good times roll, and is a very popular saying especially around Mardi Gras. During Mardi Gras, there's so many parades and parties, you basically have to buy the parade guide to be able to plan routes around the parades to get around in New Orleans and the surrounding areas. There were many times when I was there that we accidentally got stuck behind a parade route, and the best thing to do since you won't get through for hours is to park the car and enjoy the parade! So in honor of Mardi Gras today, and the end of the carnival period, I'm all dressed up in purple, green and gold! And I absolutely LOVE these nails from Dark Passions - Koffin Nails! They have 3 styles in 1 HUD, each with 3 colors, one with Mardi Gras tips, one with Fleur de lis, and one with beads! So I mix-n-matched the beads and Fleur de lis options, and I love how these work together! SO go get your nails done Mardi Gras style today! OH! And listen to a lil Lou Bega too!

Whenever I see XOXO, my silly little mind goes to Gossip Girl, and yes, I have seen every episode, but no, it isn't my favorite show. However, I do love all the fashion and gossip that goes along with it. So I used part of the Gossip Girl intro to name this post, even though it really has nothing to do with the show, because I'm nuts like that, BUT you know you love me anyway...

💗

Today, I'm featuring the XOXO Valentine hunt, although it is a bit of a different take one it. How it works is you get the HUD, and click through the stores, you get a preview of the item offered, and it gives you a SLURL in chat. Once you get to the store, and find the item, and they are usually front and center and easy to see, you type xoxo in local chat, then you have a chance to win the item for free. If you don't win, you can try again 24 hours later, or if you don't want to wait, purchase the item for L$50. It's a fun new take on a hunt, and lets you pick and choose what your fav items are. 

💗

In my picture below I'm using 2 items from this hunt, the first is the super fun Hypnotic Heart nails by Dark Passions - Koffin Nails, which have 9 color options to choose from and have appliers for Maitreya, Omega and Slink nails. 

💗

And the second feature is the heart in my hand and pose, which is by elephante Poses. It comes with the heart attachment and 6 poses to go along with it! There are many other great items you can get on this XOXO hunt, and time is running out, so be sure to check it out!

The 2nd and last audition for the MISS SL 2017 Pageant is over, and wow so many great stylings were seen. I don't envy the judges trying to narrow down who gets to move on as an official candidate and who doesn't that's for sure! BUT... now the fun begins with the challenges and events and I can't wait to see what the candidates come up with! 

⚜

For the audition, Rissa and I coordinated our outfits to match using the new Sima dress by United Colors, which can be found at the current round of Kustom9. This dress is neat because you can choose a striped skirt with thick or thin stripes, a solid color skirt, or you can even remove the skirt and make it a cute top! A very diverse ensemble for sure, with fits for Belleza Freya & Isis, Maitreya Lara, and Slink Physique & Hourglass!

Many who know me, know that I love vampire things... and when LeLutka put out the beast teeth... I squealed with joy to finally be able to be a vampire again. And then I saw these new nails by Dark Passions - Koffin Nails, and... inspiration hit. While it is true that the original idea was a little more gruesome, I truly love how this photo turned out... You can find these great Etched Heart nails at BodyFy and they do have cleaner, less bloody options as well. They're available for Maitreya, Omega and Slink nails.
