Sadly winter wonderland is melting away rapidly in my neck of the woods. Maybe there will be a second act in February or March, one never knows. What definitely will be around for a bit longer are the sweaters (isn't pullover a nicer word though) and cardigans, a garment invented by someone who accidentally burned the tails of his coat.

Cardigans are perfect for post holiday season early January. They're practical, comforting and can be worn fashionable or just with sweatpants on a lazy (Sun)day.

I think I've got a New Year's Eve outfit already.

There sure are some amazing gifts this year. I’m loving this “Alain” mesh head by Lelutka, and not just because it’s a group gift. The Clef De Peau is something I found under the Christmas tree too, but I did feel a strong need to go shopping for a Christmas sweater. 🙂

It was time again for my monthly outing with the NX-Nardcotix David mesh body, except I didn't go out, hence the lazy day look.

I've crammed a lot of gifts from November's issue of L'Homme Magazine in this one look (the decor items are gifts too). It's always satisfying when several gifts end up combining nicely for a look. Obviously I'll be wearing more for going around in SL, but for a bit of "oppa gagnam style" on a funny cow seat at home, this "outfit" is perfect.

Lelutka now uses a new way to rig their mesh heads, something they refer to as "Boundless". I thought I was going to have to update all the shapes I have made for their heads, but it turns out that in most cases I already had the Boundless versions when I made the shape. Only the Skyler head gave me something to do. Awh, and here I thought I was going to have a project for a week or so. Anyhoo, this is what my avatar looks like today, with an adjusted shape for the Lelutka Skyler 2.5 mesh head.

Today's "mood board"

In between blog posts for other heads, bodies and skins, this has become my more regular go-to look.

Feeling tashy today

I'm wearing that tank top "ironically"

I feel like pumpkin tonight

Second Life sure does autumn well.

First fantasy look for the Halloween season, if it's started... Oh it has started! It is ON!

I'll keep that in mind for another look some day.

Who doesn't like a funny shirt in SL? This one made me laugh out loud at first and will keep me smiling.

HELP! I can't stop making new looks with this new head!

Today I continued cleaning out my wardrobe (reducing the number of outfits) and used an old outfit as easy inspiration for an updated version. The image leads to Flickr, which in turn has a link to my blog, in case you need the credits for the new outfit on the right.

Another day, the same head, same shape even but quite a different look with another skin and I'm indulging my weakness for that bleached blond look with dark eyebrows. I don't know why I find that attractive, but then, do we ever know why we like what we like?

Another day, another head. It's the first time I've done something with this head and I kept it simply by using the skin that came with it and just creating my own shape.

The Signature Geralt mesh body and head had been in my closet for way too long. Djees, some people have skeletons in their closets, but the worst you'll find in mine is a couple of mesh bodies. No honestly, I have the heart of a little girl! *changes to creepy voice* in a jar underneath my bed. RIGHT! Here's a Geralt look I did the other day and my personal favourite so far when it comes to my styling exercises with this particular head and body.

Coincidentally I just did a blog post on Geralt. The warning given by Marianne Little can be repeat here + there's butt cleavage 😉 https://billybeaverhausen.com/2020/08/21/dabbling-with-geralt-episode-xvi/

They must love the title of the series I've dedicated to them on my blog "What's eating TMP?"

I did a look with the Niramyth Aesthetic body the other day. Their solution for using this body with a mesh head isn't perfect, but the unruly hairdo I use with this look covers a multitude of sins. Second Life is all about making it work, or letting go of perfectionisme, that works too.There are some more daring pictures in my blog post. I got some new swimwear that's yowsa!
