Shiryu Musashi, owner of the shop Musashi-Do recently returned to SL after a year long hiatus. Upon his return he has graced the grid with a large collection of bikinis. There are 3 main designs: Wave Flow, Seaside Crescent and Summer Sky. Each come with three color groups, 2 pattern themes and solid colors.

All designs are magnificantly done and the textures are great. There were so many to chose from I was overwhelmed. I will showcase the 3 designs below, but I recommend you go down to Musashi-Do and see all the color choices yourself.  Click for a larger pic.

It was time to take a break from the lastest drama on Shopping Cart Disco. What I needed was a lazy afternoon, poolside.  (click for larger pics)

It seems to be a bit cooler near the water

Ah well might as well go for a dip in the pool.

In my Tuesday (next Tuesday) blog entry at Shopping Card Disco I found my way to the Gossip Girls sim, thanks to a recommendation by Sasy Scarborough. When I put this outfit together I figured I’d get out of the photostudio and take some pics on location.  So I went back to Gossip Girls and headed to the park.

Gossip Girls Sim

Anyone that knows me in SL knows I am very very picky skin shopper. My skins folder is the smallest folder I have and I have almost 20K items in my inventory. But there is one skin maker I fell in love with and that is Tuli. If you are a regular reader you know Meredith has been my favorite for awhile. Now with the release of Faith I have what looks like a new favorite.
Faith comes in 3 skin tones:  Light, Tan and Dark Tan. There are 10 makeups and 3 brow colors to chose from: black, brown and light. In the picture below are 3 of my favorite make ups in each tone; light tan and dark tan respectively. Diva, Misfit and Classic.

I like the fuller lips  and the color choices make them look just fabulous.

The detailing on the body is amazing!! I especially love the tummy and the back. It looks soft and feminine  but very realistic.

All in all Faith has made it into my every day skin rotation, which is a huge accomplish with my finicky skin tastes.

RL took over and I had to take a break from SL and the blogging world, but I am back now.  For my return I pondered and pondered what to blog.  I went shopping and ended up just throwing together something I already had.  Something tomboyish but sexy, hard but a bit soft around the edges.
