Hott Mess

Clothes express our feelings. On this particular day, Makeda Cole was feeling like a Hott Mess. We're not so sure about the "Mess" part, but we certainly agree with the "Hott"!

Makeda just graduated from the MODA Modeling School. Congrats, Makeda! She is also a partner in a photography business, Cole Photography Studios. To find out more about Makeda, go to her blog.

Here is how she put the outfit together:

Shorts outfit: Shadow Weaver of ShadoWiccan & Bewitched Designs "Open 4 Business"

Bracelets: Naughty and Everyday Gems "[ND]Turqoise Multi Bracelet(3 in1)"
Single bracelet: Shiny Things "Moonstone"
Hair: Gritty Kitty "Ghost in Licorice"
Nails: Lucky Charming
Necklace: Blue Stone Jewelry "3 stone diamond pendant necklace"

Sexy as a Fish?

"Look into my eyes. Look deeply into my eyes . . ." Although not strictly speaking a fashion item, I was struck by the beauty of this Siren by Grendel's Children, who came recommended by Hensonian Pennyfeather.

This avatar comes in male and female versions as well as a variety of colors. It also has a wonderful built in animation for swimming (i.e. flying). The perfect fish for Friday!

Second Skin is In!

RedDawn and I are both Second Skin Labs fans. In her words: "I currently wear skins from Second Skin Labs for most occasions. I also wear Gala and X2, along with a very cute skin from Nylon Outfitters when I'm in a playful mood."

My primary skin is Adam from Second Skin Labs, but it isn't a custom skin, like RedDawn's.

The beauty of SL is the extraordinary variety of looks available to you. RedDawn has some excellent advice in her blog about how to go about finding your look.

Skin: Custom skin by Second Skin Labs
Bikini: Namiko Surf Company "Sumatra"
Hair: ETD "The Straight" - part of the Couture Collection

Guys - Get Your Nails Done!

Here's a little fashion tip for guys: if you're going to go around bare foot, get your toenails done! Default SL feet aren't that pretty to look at. Go and buy some female tintable toenails and don't add any color. They are sold as socks and cost as little as $75L. They add
definition to your toes and who knows? You might just get a foot massage from that someone special!




Skin: Second Skin Labs "Adam"
Silks: Moonflower Designs "Purple Fur"
Hair: Calico Creations "Calum"
