Summertime, and the livin' is easy.

Summertime, and the livin' is easy.

And so is the shopping with this perfect little dress from LENNIE. It is perfect for a sunny afternoon or a lovely evening out. And right now it is available at SNEAK PEEK, but only for a few hours more so you'd better hurry and grab it before it's too late.

I want to also take a minute and introduce you to one of my favorite singers in both worlds, Phoenix J. This awesome songbird plays piano, guitar and ukulele to accompany her vocals which are a truly lovely. Her songlist is HUGE and covers such a variety of music from so many decades you are bound hear something you just love. When Phoenix isn't performing in the real world you can catch her at SL at various different venues.  Take a peek at her website or her Facebook to find out when and where she is playing next. Trust me you will be so glad you did.

Every Breaking Wave

Every breaking wave on the shore

Tells the next one there'll be one more

Like every broken wave on the shore

This is as far as I could reach

If you go

If you go your way and I go mine

Are we so?

So did you hear? There is a big Summer Sale at Petite Mort this weekend.  What better time to stock up on some awesome summer wear like these bikini pieces and coordinating harem pants.

Sneak Peek ~ Shop it Like It's Hot!

I got nothing to say I ain't said before

I bled all I can, I won't bleed no more

I don't  need no one to understand

Why the blood run hold

The hired hand

On heart

The hand of god

Floodland and driven apart

Run cold

Turn

Cold

Burn

Like a healing hand

Like a healing hand

Like a healing hand

Like a healing hand

~This Corrosion , The Sisters of Mercy

Sneak Peek is back with all kinds of fab designs. The theme this month is "Shop it like it's hot."  I have to say I thought this gown from Tiffany Designs was smoking hot! The wings and headpiece are all included. There is also a necklace included, although I went with one I had in my inv, because I just don't get to wear it often enough. This whole gown ensemble is available in three color choices for 199L.  I admit I am stunned at what a great deal that is for a gown like this.
Be sure to pop over to the event before it's too late.  Note there is a new location so grab this link here and you shall be on your way: Sneak Peek

Alice in Her Party Dress

Alice in her party dressed to kill

She thanks you turns away

She needs you like she needs her pills

To tell her that the world's ok

To promise her a definition

Tell her where the rain will fall

Tell her where the sun shines bright

And tell her she can have it all

Today

Today

Don't give it way

Lyrics from Alice by The Sisters of Mercy

     Who can resist a bit more Alice of the Alice in Sexy Land event? I know you saw all the important details over on Dante's post here: And If You Go Chasing Rabbits. While she showed you the super cute Alice look I have one of the other designs from Dark Passions to show you.  

    The Tweedle Me outfit comes in two versions, a traditional one or a more Burtonesque black and white version. Don't ya just love it? During the event it is 20% off so you can snatch it up for 200L. Better hurry though, because it will go back to the reg price when it hits the mainstore / marketplace.

I love these big stompy boots that Ana from Kaos sent me a while back. I think they are a lot of fun with this dress.  

In keeping with my red makeup the red Lucidity eyes from Fix8 are perfect. I really really love this line of eyes and just can't pick a favorite.

Have you made it to The Wash Cart Sale yet?  Petite Mort has a handful of fabulous designs there, most are 10L. Yes! That is TEN lil lindens, all except for this special outfit which is 50L. FIFTY! That includes both the adorable shorts and the lovely top. In addition there is a cute bikini and pair of sunglasses and some great summer dresses, all for 10L!. Seriously you can get you whole SL summer wardrobe for pennies.             

   

So you may be asking who is this Petite Mort I am speaking of... If you haven't discovered this brand yet, you really need to pop over to the main store and take a peek at all the lovely designs, not to mention the store itself and land around it are gorgeous! You will be glad you did. Don't worry you will be seeing more designs from Petite Mort on the Macabre Beauty blog in the future as she has given us the honor of adding joining her blog team.  Since I love her pieces I am pretty excited to be one of her bloggers.

How perfect do the Pentagram ring from DEADPOOL and the Pentacle Passions polish sets from Dark Passions go together? You would think they planned it... maybe they did. If so they aren't telling. You can grab the ring on the marketplace (links below) but you will have to go hunt for the polish sets at the Dark Passions store as they are part of the Witchy Hour Hunt.   No worries though as there should be a hint giver on the desk.

  

What can I say about my eyes that both Dante and I haven't said before? You know they are from FIX8, and by now you know not only can you get perfection in peepers but they come at an awesome price! Especially considering that multiple sizes are included.

More stunning beauty from The World Goth Fair in the form of a fabulous gown from Fission, a perfect polish set from Dark Passion - Koffin Nails & a bit of gothy adornments from The Little Bat. All of it so absolutely perfect and seemingly made for each other, even though they are not.  

My look was built with my favorite perfectly porcelain skin from Mystic Canvass, stunning eyes from Fix8 and slinky, sexy heels from DeadPool. Toss on a few accessories from various designers, like this headpiece from Distorted Dreams... Oh my goodness, I just love it!

The first five poses all come from this month's round of Sneak Peek. Both KaTink and HelaMiyo have sets available for purchase.

So while at Club Gothika for World Goth Day I found myself chatting with NaTas Janus who is the creator / designer of the Entropy II sim /exhibit, which is part of the current round of The Linden Endowment for the Arts (LEA.) After seeing a few pics knew I had to take some time and go take a walk through the sim. I had no idea how stunning parts of it would be, and how gruesome other would be.  Not to mention there are all kinds of fun free goodies, from sl vehicles to amusing avatars. Be sure to stop in to this exhibit before it's gone at the end of the month, you will be glad you did.
