Friday Fashion Blog: Class & Sass, Kilolo Jenkins’ Slice of Second Life

Cajsa Lilliehook covers the best in virtual world screenshot art and digital painting

Kilolo Jenkins’ blog Class & Sass has always been a true slice of SLife blog. In a recent couple of posts she’s included her sister Pookie. The above picture is from Plate Training, a post recounting what happened to the Thanksgiving Dinner stuffing. I am so tickled by the food stains and mess. That’s what every Second Life needs, a little mess. 

• Food Mess on Pookie’s Face & Hands: ~:DudaDreams: Smash The Cake
• Food Stains: .:LBM:. Diner Cooking Prank Kit
• Food – Junk Food, 
• Served Sides: Food Fight Throwers

SL Fashion Friday: Beautifully Tasteful Styles from ByteDreams

#058 of 2023 is just a single example of the gorgeous style brought to us by ByteDreams Slade, who excels at showing us classic, tasteful fashion. She’s one of the fashion bloggers who realize clothing is far more interesting when people wear it, as opposed to bearing as much digital skin as possible. But there is nothing prudish about Byte Dreams, but she does wear a lot more clothes than the average blogger and I love her for that.

The color on this dress is gorgeous, one of those colors that look good on everyone, but set off by her dark skin, the dress looks like a jewel. Here’s what she’s wearing:

• QUEENZ "Fae" dress @ The Grand Event (main store)
• Marmaladny Girls (#MG) "Gentle Dawn" earrings and "3D Hearts" BOM Tattoo (main store)
• KUNGLERS "Leigh" rings (texture hud incl'd) (marketplace) (main store)

SL Friday Fashion: Thanksgiving Decor & Catwoman Style by Verandi Diavolo

Cajsa Lilliehook covers the best in virtual world screenshot art and digital painting

Verandi Diavolo’s recent microblog “Flavors” caught me in a Thanksgiving frame of mind. 

I love that cardinal plushie (on the left) from Ariskea, but alas, it was exclusive to the September FAMESHED event.The mushrooms are also no longer available because they were exclusive to Equal10 in September. Sometimes there is no substitute for going to the events. 

Last night, IRL friends and I began discussing what to make for the upcoming Friendsgiving. Not only that, but in a complete coincidence, my best friend brought over a carrot cake that looked very much like this one down to the nuts along the bottom. Is there any frosted cake better than carrot cake? 

• Apple Fall Carrot Cake

• Apple Fall Carrot Cake on Plate (dispensed by the big cake) 

• vespertine: quirky pumpkin trio.on Marketplace

Verandi does decor, male, and female fashions, so his Flickr stream is a full-service blog. P.S., he has a Catwoman obsession.

SL Friday Fashion: Halloween Styles from Flickr Blogger MarktheDark

Cajsa Lilliehook covers the best in virtual world screenshot art and digital painting

MarktheDark fits the Halloween bill perfectly with his Flickr microblog. This is some spooky stuff. If someone came to my door looking like this, I wouldn’t be sticking around to hear the words “trick or treat.” 

“Desbordamiento…” is overflowing with menace from the flames reflected in his coal-shadowed eyes to the phalanx of soldiers behind him. That double-sided Viking Battle Ax isn’t any slouch in the fright department either. I suppose the ax has a double bit so he can take a swipe at you coming and going. It is probably better balanced in battle than a single-sided ax, as well. Items:

@We Love Roleplay ends tomorrow - October 28th

• CHIMAERA - EVOX- Soot Shadow V1 85%
• Angelicus training set
• :ANGELICUS: Floor brazier
• :ANGELICUS: Dummie 2
• :ANGELICUS: Dummie Viking 1
• :ANGELICUS: Dummie 3

• GTS Battle Viking axe
• Drunken Brokkr [DB] - Huginn Harness - Legacy (male)

Lumberjacks, like my uncle, used a double bit ax because one edge was sharper for cutting down the tree and the other edge was duller for splitting off the limbs or splitting wood. A double bit ax is heavier than a single-edged ax, so they would never carry the extra weight unless it served a useful purpose whether in timber-felling or in battle.

Halloween & Fall-Themed Fashion Ideas from SL Blgger Luna Morineaux!

Cajsa Lilliehook covers the best in virtual world screenshot art and digital painting

Luna Morineaux has a self-named blog. This post, The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper, despite the magical items, feels so real. It’s messy, realistically messy. I love it.

My mom had a desk like this. It didn’t have a skull or anything magical, but I remember sitting there and picking up a hinge and wonder “why is this here?” The rest of the house was neat as a pin,, but that desk was the vortex where all the mess collected. Don’t know where to put something? Put it on the desk.

This particular desk features the materials for a magical psychic:

 Psychic Set at Shop & Hop until November 5th and later at Mainstore:

..::thor::.. psychic bookstand

SL Friday Fashion Finds: Fantasy Roleplay from The Rabbit Hole

Cajsa Lilliehook covers the best in virtual world screenshot art and digital painting

Born from Chaos or #865 is by Lita Menges on the blog The Rabbit Hole. That tattooing is a real commitment. The shoes work perfectly with the bodysuit, almost as though they are a set. That E-Clipse Design Tail confuses me, but delightfully so. It all becomes clear in the next post. She has a cybernetic arm so she is all set for the next transhumanist roleplay. It’s coming, what with spatial computing, prosthetic technology, and Neuralink (downright evil animal testing).

Lici is a Flickr microblogger. I saw this picture and just love her face. She makes me think of Audrey Hepburn. It turns out she painted the hair [see original here] but there are similar styles at Dura, the short hair specialist. The face is what enchanted me.

Friday Fashion Finds for Anime Avatars by Alma Berta

Cajsa Lilliehook covers the best in virtual world screenshot art and digital painting

Alma Berta is a Flickr microblogger whose anime characters are having fun. I am particularly fond of “Special Heart” because she is wearing the right-sized garters and not those too-tight-thigh-squeezing-circulation-stopping monstrosities with red and irritated skin. These garters fit. They also won’t cause blood clots or compartment syndrome. Click through for more detailed credits. 

• Insomnia Angel . Ellis hime sleeves at Mainstore
• Insomnia Angel . Lize strap leg garter available at Dubai Event until Sept 15th

SL Fashion Friday: Rockabilly / Kawaii/ Goth / Grunge Styles by Gross Rizzo

Cajsa Lilliehook covers the best in virtual world screenshot art and digital painting

Gross Rizzo is a Flickr microblogger with a unique style all her own, one that is hard to describe. “Pretty Lungs” is a good example. She has this sort of rockabilly/kawaii/goth/grunge vibe that I find charming and so very original. Consider this outfit, it dances around several styles but there is at least one element that keeps it from landing on one. Even her music video inspiration by Princess Chelsea has a similar off-kilter sensibility despite being very heavily autotuned.

Also, that hair bow is to die for. 

• [Cosmic Dust] - Flutter Top - Legacy @ Kustom9 through 9/10
• hive // nicotine & caffeine @ Kustom9 through 8/10
• BTTB [Boys to the Bone]  bowup head piece - fatpack @ The Fifty through 9/20
• Magika - Hair - Erin on Marketplace

• DAPPA - Nessa Tattoo. @ Kinky through 9/22
• Semller - Thigh High Stomper Boots Fatpack
