Found two very interesting pieces for the Holidays season : a green army vest by Emery (70L$) and an exclusive HoHoHo shirt that comes in red and green colors at Atomic (50L$).
Vest - Emery (available at The Dressing Room Blue)
Shirt - Atomic, Stumblebum Exclusive (available Dec 25-31)
Jeans - Armidi
Boots - *COCO*
Skin - Atomic, Illusory Paige (Warm color)
Hair - Truth, Ramona (Jupiter color)
Yeah I know, I've been very quiet.
Not only Div moved in with me IRL two weeks ago, but he got me addicted to Guitar Hero and tennis game on our brand new Wii. The little social life I had left is now totally gone! ;)
But the real reason I've been so quiet this past 2 weeks is that my computer died and the new one isn't ready yet. I can't wait for it to arrive, I miss my online routine! Laptop isn't just the same... SL looks horrible and I lag like a mofo. I'm absolutely not enjoying my SL time these days.
Thankfully, Div was nice enough to let me use his computer a few hours today and - OF COURSE - I went SL shopping, getting the latest Atomic / Illusory skin release : Paige, in Warm color. I also got one of the latest Truth release : Ramona, in Jupiter color. Here comes a full new look for 2011!
Result isn't too bad, right?
If you want some inspiration as to what you can do with it, check out these posts or these videos...
What about a winter-ish look for Christmas?
When I came across the the .ILLUSORY. FrostBite Winter Set from Atomic, I thought it would be funny to change my look for the Holidays. This set offers gorgeous skin, elven ears and antlers for 1500L$ and is available for, I believe, a limited time only.
The skin is part of the new Paige collection, and I have the feeling I'm gonna get the full make up pack as soon as it will be up for sale.

It's been almost four years since I first logged in Second Life, and I'm amazed at how much my avatar changed over time. I thought starting this blog with an overview of my virtual self and my little SL Story would be fun!
2007 - First 6 months in SL
I first joined SL with a bunch of friends; we were all newbies and were trying to help each other, but weren't that much informed. This explains why I spent the first six months not knowing what an AO was, and not knowing you could convert real money in Lindens to purchase better looking stuff.
I spent half a year in SL shopping at Freebies and trying to perfect my look, and this is how I ended looking like. Back then, I was very proud of my avi and was convinced I looked damn good.
Aye.
2008 - Exit noob look, welcome Roleplay!
2008 been a big year for me in Second Life.
First, once I found out how to upload money (ouch, my wallet) I started shopping like mad. I got my first AO (joy!) and even if I kept the same look I had as a newbie (black hair, green eyes), my avi's look significantly improved. My inventory basically exploded.
As the friends who joined SL with me found a path of their own, I started roleplaying and ended spending all my time in Toxian City, where I met friends I still share my SL life with up to these days.
My avi was very badass looking, dark hair and tattoos, and was also very tall and as sexy as possible.
Eventually, my roleplay evolved and I ended being a vampire, demon, angel, cyborg (as showed above) and even a man for a few days (!!) but it's also around that time that I started working on a shape of my own. I worked over 3 months on the face, retouching this and that when I was spotting a flaw. The hard work paid off; I still use this shape to this day, modifying the height and curves as my mood changes, but the face is still the same.
This face is my SL identity, my virtual self.
In 2008, I also partnered with Div who would eventually become my RL boyfriend. He made my SL a thousand time better and I keep so many great memories of the time we spent together... roleplaying, building, exploring and much, much more.
2009 - New identity, new look.
By the end of 2008, I started getting tired of SL and left for a couple of months... Div did the same. I eventually joined back and decided to re-start from scratch, which included getting a new name : Lisanna Lauria. Since Div never logged back in SL, my new *single but partnered* status is reflected in my new look. I felt the need to look younger, more teenage-ish and less attractive / sexual. I ended with a look I still sport to this day, 18 months later. I kept the same face but changed the body, making myself much more petite, and also got new skin and hair to make myself look less womanly-ish.
Mostly, I went redhead and never looked back!
Since that day, my wardrobe is growing like mad, but my basic looks stays mostly the same : cute, petite, teenage-ish adult... with a side of crazy!
