I'd been a reader of Second Life Insider for quite some time when I heard that Akela Talamasca was looking for me. I couldn't quite understand why he'd want ME to write for this blog. I'm still not sure what he saw in me, but now I feel like I'm part of the family.

These last nine months have been so enriching for me, but like Akela, it's time to move on. I promised myself that I wouldn't cry, but I'm just so sad to go. I wish I could tell you more, but that's for another post. For now, just know that I'll be taking this massive opportunity to provide you with even better coverage of the things that you love. I'm pouring some liquor out for you, SLI.

It all started with the dress. The Satin Ribbon Cocktail little black dress by Boing Fromage called to me from the forum ad. I couldn't just wear it by itself, though. I needed some serious accessories!

My first thought was shoes. Didn't I see some nice ones at Shiny Things? Ah yes, the Flare Oxfords. Ooh, and freebie nubby socks, too! My legs looked so bare that I paired them with some fishnets from Preen. Then, of course, my arms looked bare. Pushbutton Skolnick's new Sailor Jerry Tats in Fresh took care of that problem.

I knew I had to have the Fierce hair by Gurl 6. The pink dipped black had just the edge that I needed. It's as girly as you can get for a hardcore mohawk. As for the skin, I am such a Tete a Pied addict. I think the fashionistas will really like the new Fevrier four pack that will be out next week, with it's cat eyes and bold colors, shown here in Sky.

Total fashion bliss has been achieved. What do you think?
