DOLL COLLECTION

I am wearing Oceane Body Design's Ella skin which is beautiful.  I found it to be a great canvas to show you the new Oceane makeup releases Bollywood and XTina.  These makeups are stunning and not Oceane skin specific, so they will work well on any natural skin.  I went with the chocolate makeups not only because they looked delicious on me, but delightfully match my voodoo doll.  Now is probably a great time to admit that I have a rather large collection of these dolls in Secondlife.  The sheer fact that so many designers have taken the time to make them astounds me.  This particular doll is part of the Adorkable Poses Sweet Revenge pose set and is a personal favorite of mine!  Is the voodoo doll named Riot? Smiles...I am sure if you asked him he would go on and on about the voodoo doll with his picture attached to the face.  What?  It was a joke!  Maybe.... Where was I?  Oh yes Oceane Body Design also has released a beautiful limited skin named Denise with only 75 copies of Denise on the grid.  Denise comes in 5 skin tones and 4 brow colors.  Each skin pack has in it 1 normal breast skin and 1 cleavage option, brows, 2 brow shapers, and pubic hair.   Oceane will be releasing the Denise shape soon but no word yet if it will be a limited shape.

I am wearing a jewelry collection from Earthstones that you can only purchase right now by joining the Earthstones group.  Let me back track here a minute.  Earthstones is a pay for group that takes up a group slot.  With this membership you get immediate access to the group gifts which are located by the front desk.  These gifts alone will more then reimburse you for the nominal cost of the group but then you also get the keys (group tag) to the VIP lounge.  This lounge is accessed through a doorway behind the desk and it is here that VIP members find the Lexi Necklace and Earrings for a jaw dropping 99L each.  Lexi is the perfect accent for any casual styling you could dream up and I love the fact that the Lexi necklace is short enough to wear with my tangos.  This VIP special will end in the next couple of days so I would suggest heading down there as soon as you can.

SICK SLUG

Since I mentioned in my previous blog the way I have spent my time in SL, I felt that it was a picture I should have shared.  So here it is my sick slug look.

This morning my hud informed me I was on day 12, approximately 5 weeks pregnant rl.  This bit of information lead to a discussion with Riot and we decided the experience was going to be rushed.  The average woman is pregnant 40 to 42 weeks.  Granted being 42 weeks pregnant means you are overdue but being overdue is not uncommon.  So we did some math and decided that 3 rl days should equal a sl week.  That puts our baby due in 120 days which is roughly half the time of a RL pregnancy.  So now the baby is due on December 8th and I am at week 4.  The beauty of the Tantra Total Woman HUD is that you can change your due date if the need arises.  You simply set out the Due Date Setter which is a huge pink cone, click it, then type in your desired due date in an easy year, month, date format.  It talks you through the entire process and confirms at the end or tells you it timed out.  The Due Date Setter comes with the Tantra Total Woman HUD and should be used at the beginning of the pregnancy and to adjust the due date as needed.  There are reasons in SL for the need to change your due date and I will get into these needs in a future blog.

Now back to my sick slug look which oddly Riot found incredibly sexy.  I am wearing EMO-tions Loredana hair, the Bodacious Tank from *BOOM*, Schadenfreude new Polka Dot Knee High Socks for Slink Feet, and Sn@tch  Sydney Lace Panties.  Now to make sure everyone understands.  I am in no way inferring these items are in any way bad.  Just the opposite since I purchased them because I thought they were adorable!

MATERNITY SHOPPING FIRST LOOK & SHAPES

Month 1 (SL time first 10 day period)

During this first month of pregnancy I have been contemplating that in SL a pregnancy is only about 1/3 of the time a real pregnancy, if not shorter.  Such a small duration of time actually and unlike rl we have a hud that says you are in day 1 of your pregnancy so we know as soon as the cycle is missed.  If SL was like RL I would just now be figuring out something was up.  A missed cycle and subjective symptoms that I would have been mistaking for stress, lack of sleep, bad food, or even the flu.  These symptoms include tiredness, breast changes (here come the big breasts!), nausea, bloating, and a slight rise in body temperature that can be mistaken for a fever to name a few.  Hence why most of us think we are sick at first.   I spent my first ten days like I would have spent the month rl by wearing a shirt, socks, panties, and my hair pulled back in a messy bun while I lounged about.  I am a miserable sick person to be honest and turn into a slug better left alone.  Of course I could muster myself to go shopping since some things must be done no matter how icky you feel and because in SL the benefits to knowing you are expecting from day 1 are clothes shopping, and getting your shapes ready.

I started taking a good look at maternity clothes and found myself spending hours in Marketplace wondering how this shirt will look or that dress.  After my first look through the selections and I will be brutally honest,  I was left completely disappointed by the lack of selection though I did find some cute clothes.  Pregnant women wish to be beautiful, stylish, and not feel like the clothes we have to wear were made before SL introduced all the wonderful tools designers now have.  If you wear Lolas Tango your choices just got cut even more.  So I went shopping for regular clothes that would fill the gap for a little bit.  Sn@tch to the rescue!  I love Ivey Deschanel's designs.  I went to her store and found the Heidi Dress I am wearing in her riot vendor and snagged it for an amazing price.  While there one of her lucky boards came up a K and I was able to get the Sn@tch Crystal Gypsy Jewelry Set for free.  Shop around and do not get focused on having to buy maternity items I encourage all women expecting in SL to try on any mesh clothing without the alpha on.  Flip through your shapes and when your belly is just peaking out of the mesh that is how long you can wear the outfit.  If you buy the item you are trying on, make a notation on a notecard, and/or put it in a special folder.  The Heidi dress will carry me through month 3 but is the perfect late summer romantic top to pair with a cute set of leggings and sandals.

In SL we have allot of body designers who offer pregnancy shapes and you can find several shapes for free.  The amount of shapes you use is completely a personal preference.  I went with 9 and did some research on how my body would be changing.  First I had visited stores looking for a shape that was close to my height and looks but eventually decided to make my own.  Each woman carries a child in their own distinctive way.  Unfortunately SL makes this option very limited so that leaves us turning to prim, sculpt, and mesh bellies.  You think finding clothes was hard before now it becomes almost impossible using a visual belly attachment.   After making my shapes I set up my RLV folders and my Tantra Total Woman Hud  to use the RLV to auto switch through the shapes as my pregnancy progresses.  This was surprisingly easy!  The Tantra Total Woman Hud  site gives very clear directions and they have photos for you to compare to.  This RLV feature is wonderful because I do not have to worry about changing the shape and as in rl suddenly I have grown out of my clothes.  I love the fact that I logged on and my shape changed slightly, I giggled over my breasts popping a little out of my mesh.  Each little change is exciting to me and to my husband Riot.  He made me laugh when he role played bending over to my belly and said,  "Hello in there, we can't wait to meet you!"  Yes I am smiling as I write this.  He is amazing and supportive.  I wonder if he is going to put on empathy fat?

I am wearing Cutie Patootie Capri's from Custom iNKZ , Sn@tch Heidi Tube Dress, and Slink  Lulu Stilettos (Addon). My jewelry is EarthStones Nose Stud & Dark Alchemy Bridal Set, MAXI GOSSAMER  Damask Bangles, and Sn@tch  Crystal Gypsy Jewelry Set. My shapes is my own, my skin is Glam Affair, my hair is Jasmine by Lelutka, my nails are Slink Avatar Enhancement Fingernails, and my feet are Slink Enhancement Medium Feet.

These items I am listing separately because they are part of The Black Fair 2013 and are free gifts or at the least under 50L. Eyeliner is [CIA] Graphic eyeliner Black.  My ring is MG Black Roho, my clutch is the Ariskea Trinity mesh clutch in Purple night, and my manicure and pedicure are[theSkinnery]Slink Carbon Finger & Toe nails Appliers.  You can find these items and many more at
The Black Fair 2013.

*I want to make a small comment about pregnancy rl.  It is very important that if you are expecting to see a doctor within your first 13 weeks and see a doctor 13 times during your pregnancy.  I can not stress how important this is to both you and your unborn child.  Please visit these sites to help.  They have been a world of information in my quest to educate myself for my SL pregnancy.

In the beginning this was a very personal choice.  Something we would only share if it was found out by seeing us out and about on the grid.  Then I started thinking about the lack of fashion for expecting mothers in SL so I decided that if I found a cute outfit or an alternative to maternity wear I would blog it.  Then I started thinking about the reasons we decided to do this.  Suddenly I thought about all of the times someone made a comment about pregnancy in SL and most of them were not flattering.  We as people make snap judgments or think someone is being silly.  Is someone choosing to have a family in a virtual world any more silly then just logging into SL to live a life within it?  People make these choices for many reason and in this amazing world we can do, and be, what ever we wish.   Suddenly the beauty of this virtual world we inhabit manifest itself to me.  I a woman whom will never carry life within, will never know the joy of holding my own children can at the very least experience part of the joy and misery of expecting a child thanks to SL. In SL I have beautiful children whom are all quirky and wonderful, I have siblings whom have been my family for years now, I have nieces and nephews whom I adore.  I have a beautiful husband who is my love in both worlds.  I however have made this choice and in an odd mirror of the real world it is my choice in the end, it is my body even though it is pixels.  I choose to get pregnant and set my foot on a path unsure what the future holds. 

So first came the decision of how to go about this.  A search on marketplace left my head spinning but as with almost anything in SL a hud and possibly a pose was needed.  I took a deep breath and started reading each page then I came across the Tantra Hud.  The more I read about this system the more I liked it.  Real odds, birth control, even the chance that the birth control might fail!  I read with fascination about the hud taking you through a true cycle complete with menstruation.  ((Note it is just a time allotment with no particle effect!  Which as a woman I must say that some things in SL are better then the RL!))  I read how the man may purchase a condom hud but can get free basic ones from the store.  I read how the hud responds to Xcite, Sensations, REALASM, or Midnight Lotus brand male genitals.  I suddenly remembered my sister and her ex husband, yes we even have ex husbands in SL, trying to get pregnant with another hud.  Him flying over her head swooping in to impregnate her.  After laughing I decided that I definitely wanted the Tantra hud because to create a baby it had to come from an act of lovemaking.  So off we went to the main shop and a hud was purchased.  I put it on and set up a realistic 28 day cycle with a 2 day variance. 

The first month goes by and nothing.  I found a 1 prim box of tampons and bought them leaving them where my husband could see them so he would know we were not pregnant.  As soon as he could he doubled his efforts in getting me pregnant and then one day I logged in and looked at the hud.  The yellow line was all the way up to late and suddenly I just knew I was pregnant in world.  I did not need the red late line to tell me, I just knew!  After a simple to use but nerve wrecking test the results were in and we were virtually pregnant.  So now the path has our feet placed on it and each day the hud tells me how far along I am.  I find myself researching what I would be experiencing and in awe of the miracle of life.  Mostly I find the support, the love from our friends and family amazing.   For Riot and I this was the right option and I am blessed in his love.

BREATHLESS

"Let me be your moonlight

When your sun nods off to sleep

Let me be the love

You in secret get to keep" 

Breathless is a word that conveys so much meaning.  The literal meaning is to be without breath.  When I walked into the dungeon he fell to his knees and held his breath.  I looked down smiling as I sat upon my throne and called him to me.  He asked permission to touch me, I chuckled, and made him wait.  When I granted his wish he reached out sensually tracing the silk of my bodysuit.  He smiled whispering that I was beautiful and then he promptly offered to buy me this bodysuit in every color possible!  What a love.  If you wish to make someone in your life breathless, I suggest the new Breathless Bodysuit but 1 Hundred.  It is very versatile and can be worn to create a variety of moods from romantic to edgy.  The Breathless Bodysuit dresses up well, I personally wore it with a black pencil skirt and heels.  The semi sheer lace is very delicate, comes with all clothing layers, and can be worn with or without mesh breasts.

I am sitting upon the The Imperator, a Medieval BDSM/Gorean throne in mesh by Splinter'd  the adult section of Roawenwood.  With 31 menus, 144set, and a total of 297 animations this throne promises a plethora of RP and BDSM pleasure.  The Imperator has both Master and Mistress menus with an amazing amount of fetish and sex menus. To really appreciate The Imperator teleport over to Roawenwood and take it for a test drive.  For 1 week the Imperator was set to 50% off and I am not sure when that sale started or when it will end. 

The hair I am wearing is HAIR 10 by Eaters Coma, my skin is by Glam Affair , my boots are Carazon by ISON, and I am wearing the Hydra Necklace by Rozoregalia.

A special shout out to my male model whom will remain unknown

LITTLE LOTUS

You will notice some changes in the focus of my blog.  First I will still blog my friends and family because I love them.  I will always support them in any way I can and blogging their creations is how I personally can do so.  Secondly I will be blogging things I love, support, or find interesting so let me show you this cute BellyButtonKini by my friend Zee the designer of SexZ.  Zee has placed this monokini out for Going Bust which is a Cleavage sim sales event.  The BellyButtonKini is on sale through Monday and is offered in pink camo and green camo.  I know allot of ladies think that SexZ only makes items for busty gals but that is not true.  I have found almost all of her clothing can be worn with or without mesh breasts.  In fact allot of the offerings for Going Bust can be worn either way.  Just make sure to read the signs before you purchase.  Remember you only have till Monday the 5th to catch this monokini on sale!

There is a new weekly event happening called The Neighborhood.  I was dropped the notecard and decided to go have a look.  I bought the Mesh Enlightened Lotus in an exclusive orange color by Botanical for only 200 lindens.  I could not resist posing in them for the photo! Every item will only be available on Saturday from Midnight till 11:59PM.  I also bought a grape vine I will show you at another time.  I actually look forward to seeing what is put out next Saturday!  Yep feed my shopping addiction!

The makeup I have on is the group gift this month from ~Blacklace Beauty~ called Visage Sugar Puff.  My earrings are part of the LUX Celeste set from .: RealEvil Industries :. that I found free on Marketplace.  My hair is Emma by Baiastice and the lovely bow on my neck is by *BOOM*.

Lots of Love,
