A short and sweet post about skins. First off, I love skins, even though I rarely change one for long, having different ones helps with costumes, taking pictures and such.. and they're just fun! Right now there are so many great free or cheap skins out!

I think I run like a lunatic every time someone announces a free skin... I've had to pick through the ones I've gotten and decided to show you 5 of my favorites that I've collected in the past week or so. Hurry over to the LMs I've included incase they're gone soon!

1) YS&YS @ The dressing Room - Adrianna Technicolor (Cheap - I think 70L$) 2) Viv.a Free Skin  (Free)
3) Luxeskins - FATE - Tan - Coral/Cateye (cleavage) (Free - group gift)

I've been looking through the wonderful surprise that tends to be my inventory. Going through various hunts and belonging to awesome groups, I've collected a lot of things I haven't had a chance to look at yet.

My method of madness is this - Go to my "objects" folder, pick the first thing and open it.. then look for all items in your inventory by that particular designer (as they're usually labelled) and open all boxes for that designer - then put them all in one folder. This is probably a little bit over the top for some, but my inventory is huge and I have to figure out a quick way to organize it.

So, now that you know what my plan is, I want to tell you about some fantastic gifts that I've found in my inventory. Two stores stick out from my sorting today as having awesome gifts.

I am disappointed that I wasn't able to open all the boxes and find these treasures sooner! I was shocked and surprised to find all of these awesome items in my inventory from Exile and aDiva Couture.

All of the items shown above (except for one skin and one hairdo) were received FREE from the store groups, or found for FREE in a box by the door of the shops.

The moral of this story? Get in these groups if you haven't yet!! They give out a TONNE of great gifties!! Look forward to some more random posts from my inventory! Drop on down to the aDiva Couture and Exile mainshops to slap those subscribos!

Standing perfectly dressed up in insilico and holding my hand in my face to prevent that anybody could see me.

Lolita fashion was invented in Japan. The girls who are into that style normaly wear kneelength skirts, headdresses and love pretty parasols. On wikipedia there is an article about this style of fashion. Here i like to show some dresses which belong in my opinion to that style and which are available for free in second life.

So here the dress from the first picture. It comes from a store named violent seduction which mainly sells dresses like that. I like the bows around the skirt very much and its amazing how the designer uses a pinstripe pattern, which is normaly conected to business outfits, for a cute dress.

Dress: Violent Seduction - Pinstripe Lolita (0 Linden lucky chair)

This dress comes with a cute headdress and a skirt in two lengthes. Its all a bit sheer so im not sure if its not more lingerie than a dress.

Violent Seduction - La Petite Nosferatu (0 Linden lucky chair)

Here three more dresses from the violent seduction lucky chair. The one on the left is for pirate lolitas. It comes even with a peg leg - its also very useful in roleplay - and a sabre. The head and the eyepatch make the outfit complete. The one in the middle and the right do have skirts which look more like phantoms but both have a giant bow on the backside. The cut of the tops is quite sexy.

Middle: Violent Seduction - Sweet Ero (0 Linden lucky chair)
Right: Violent Seduction - Ero Lolita (0 Linden lucky chair)

This dress from Ruru@tear might be a bit to short for a gothic lolita but its very cute and at the moment a gift in the unknown hunt. So you only have to search for the hunt item to get it and there is no need to wait for your letter.  It comes with a rosehead dress and also a rose attatchment on the chest. S For the picture i used a pose which will soon be released by no strings attatched.
