Shoe Fair Finds Day 2 – Periquita

Gabby Panacek — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 00:20:43 +0000

I love shoes from Periquita, they always have a touch of whimsy. And what is Shoe Fair if not a chance to buy whimsical footwear for a good cause, right?

The Silly Wedges take the simple wedge that is so on-trend for this season and curves the heel, carves it out and fills it with beads. And, like all shoes from Periquita, they are ridiculously well priced and have a color change HUD. You can change both the texture (lots of colors, both striped and solids) and the bead color…or you can take the beads out altogether. The possibilities are endless!

Visit Periquita at the Shoe Fair on the Osmium Sim!

I’m My Own Dance

Gabby Panacek — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 00:46:16 +0000

New Hair + New Poses = Happy Gabby
LeLutka recently released some all new hairstyles and, like pretty much everything that comes from the LeLutka team, they are both gorgeous and well made. The new textures seem to have a lot of shine and there are dozens of color options available.

I went on a shopping spree at Dare and picked up some fantastic new poses and…hello, Bonus! Each of the four new “Single Ladies” sets includes a bodysuit by !Ohmai. I have no idea if I have the right bodysuit with the right pose or not, because I just sort of threw them all in a posestand and started playing. Sorry!

Happy Wednesday!

Gloves: Royal Blue Punch The Jester (Designers United Exclusive, No Longer Available) and Addict Doubs Gloves

His…and Hers? Sure!

Gabby Panacek — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 04:09:17 +0000

I saw Grazia wearing these jeans a couple of weeks ago and finally got around to tracking them down. I remembered that she told me Hunain had turned her on to them, but I didn’t realize until I went looking that they only came in a male version. After making some adjustments, though, I really love the way they fit. Thanks, Graz…and Hunain, for the tip!

Bend Me, Shape Me, Anyway You Want Me

Gabby Panacek — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 02:05:07 +0000

I love poses. Really I do. And today, I love the new poses from Glamouramama Boa’s Just A Pose shop in the new Bloom shopping area.

When I saw the package from Glam drop into my offlines, I couldn’t wait to get home and try them. Glam has a quirky, sometimes kinky, always infectious sense of humor and personal style. I just knew the poses would reflect her personality. And, they do! Glam told me today that she is really inspired by the feedback she is receiving, so expect some more poses very soon!

Yesterday was my third rez day and Codie surprised me with a party! This is the outfit that I put together for an evening of good music, friends and fun! Thanks to everyone who came and sent kind words. I <3 you all!

Dress: LeLutka – Blazin
Shoes: LeLutka – Pow Print Pumps
Earrings: Exodi – Annah v2

L-O-L-A LOLA

Gabby Panacek — Wed, 12 May 2010 04:02:58 +0000

La La La La LOLA is the latest skin from Minnu Palen of LeLutka and she will be released tomorrow. As my dear friend Caer pointed out, the LeLutka lineage is evident, but LOLA is a little softer than previous releases. While I’ve worn several of Minnu’s skins over the last few years, I didn’t become a true convert until the release of IFE. A few teaser pictures of LOLA from Aradia, though, had me begging for more! And, more was definitely delivered.

LOLA is available in five skin tones with seven makeup options and a base skin (each with dark and light brows, with and without hairbases), prim lashes, two hairstyles, and cleavage enhancers. As if that wasn’t enough, there are also 11 lipstick options for further customizing your look when using Viewer 2.0.

The makeup options range from glam to fresh and the German Red lipstick adds a real pop! Be sure to try these skins for yourself TOMORROW at LeLutka. I dare you not to fall in love!

Coming Soon: Olivia by WoE

Gabby Panacek — Sat, 17 Apr 2010 05:21:12 +0000

This weekend, Dick Wiesel of WoE will release his first Lingerie set. Olivia is meticulously constructed and will be available in nine colors. One thing I’ve always loved about clothing from WoE is the depth of texture. Olivia is no exception. The dark shade of the scroll-like detailing, layered over the base color lends a velvet feel to the strapless corset and thong panties. Each piece is edged with intricate lacework.

The corset is laced up the back and the thigh-high stockings feature a back seam and cuban heels. Olivia will be available on all layers, including tattoo layers for Viewer 2.0, and each set includes four shades of stockings.

Be sure to stop into WoE this weekend and pick up Olivia in all nine colors. This particular shade of pink is my favorite, though, for obvious reasons. *winks*

Style Notes:
Lingerie – WoE Olivia in Gabby
Shoes – Pixel Mode Leeza in Liquid
Hair – Truth Sarana in Champagne
Manicure – Exodi Nailsv2 in Candy Pink
Skin – LeLutka IFE Light Makeup 5
Eyes – Exodi Vetro in Blue

Pose & Set – Mud Honey Glam Dressing Room Photoble

Pink Shirt Day 2010

Gabby Panacek — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 02:56:20 +0000

bul·ly –noun
a blustering, quarrelsome, overbearing person who habitually badgers and intimidates smaller or weaker people.

We all know someone who is guilty of bullying and someone who has been bullied. April 14, 2010 is Pink Shirt Day, an awareness initiative that asks us to examine our behaviors and to make a change, both in ourselves and in the lives of those who are victims of bullying.

Second Life is full of very generous content creators, many of whom stand behind this initiative and have created items, many of them for free, for you to enjoy.

So, please, take a a stand against bullying, in your First and Second Life. Bullying is not something only felt by school-aged children, but by millions of people worldwide – of all ages, genders, races…it knows no limits.

Until now. WE can be that limit.
