Hey ya!
So the mixture of humid temps and rain made me think beach and ocean. So I was super excited to get this fish tank from Cupcake Clothes. The artwork is really pretty and i love the quirky style. This look is inspired by a rl good friend, who I hate and love lol. You know the type, the gorgeous beach blonde tomboy who throws on a pair of shorts and her baby brother’s graphic tee and looks like she stepped out of a abercrombie add.
this is the chic that will roll up to the bonfire late, talk to your bf like he is he best friend ever and not get why the girls are prickly… hehe I luv it. I wanted a surf style and Cali beach theme, and the slight bohemian accent of the necklace worked for me.

Hey guys!
I am sooo happy that finally Aida released this skin for Glam Affair. I think it has been a long, long time since I have been waiting this anxiously for a skin. Amberly was nice already, but I like Cleo better. I was so damned jealous of Magenta DeVinna and of certain other individuals who got this skin as a preview. Jealooous. I have been camping the damned store the whole time.
And Aida did not disappoint me!
Cleo comes in six tones: Arctic, Europa, America, Jamaica, India and Africa. My personal favourite ones are Europa and America, so these are the ones displayed here:
I love, love, love these lips! I quite like the body, even though I haven’t been a big fan of her Lola-appliers, because they come with no layer to hide the sideshadows (also called sideboobs) whenever you do not want to wear giant boobies. But I think the shading is pretty nice and ever since her older releases such as Gio etc. she has improved a LOT imho. The face is very soft and youthful and I also like the hipbones.
Personally, I like faces that look a little more ethereal and not that doll-like, but I am still pretty much in love with it.
Due to my lack of Lindens I obviously cannot display all twelve make ups for this skin, but those are really, really pretty. This one does the job as well.
The skintones look very natural to me unlike those of certain other skincreators that always either seem too reddish or too yellowish. Also, a big improvement when you compare these to her old skins!
What’s in the package?
One skin costs 999 Lindens and comes with the following features:
6 (!!!) eyebrow options, displayed below
3 types of freckles on layers, displayed below
3 types of lips on layers, displayed below
3 types of nose son layers, displayed below
ALL 6 eyebrow options on a natural version of the skin
2 types of lashes on layers.
Here a picture of all eyebrow types:
I think these eyebrows are really well done, very neat, pretty and detailed.
And here a picture of all noses, freckles and lips that come with the package:
Those noses are adorable and I LOVE every skindesigner out there who puts theirs on layers. It is one hell of an opportunity to customize your skin. The freckles? Geeze, I am currently a redhead and these are really natural looking, especially the ones that go all over the face. I like that they aren’t symmetric, which always looks very odd to me. And do I have to mention that these lips look really yummy? I am mostly a fan of the matte lips I must say, not so much of the super shiny ones, but that is clearly a matter of taste.
Summary!
Okay, I am calling Aida crazy, because that is one GIANT package for that price. O.o I am truly amazed by this offer. I was standing earlier in the store and was talkign to some other chick and told her that I expected the price for one skin to be upped now due to all the features. Well, they haven’t gone up and this is a freakishly good deal!
So, here is your TAXI to GLAM AFFAIR and I hope you’ll leave some Lindens there for Mrs. Ewing.
BTW: The hair is by Magika (Sabina Gully) and until tomorrow itonly costs 150Lindens for a whole colourpack (including all naturals/all oddly coloured ones etc.). The eyes are from Dead Apples (Soleil Reid), the lashes a current gift from Maitreya (Onyx LeShelle).

Flip-flops have been a beach staple for as long as we can remember. Over the past decade, this classic form of footwear is now being used by men and women of all ages. Almost every home in every country has them, or have tried one at least once in their lives. The footwear business is a billion dollar industry and wholesale flip flops is a big business that doesn’t seem like it will be out of style anytime soon. Did you ever wonder how the history of flip-flops has evolved and how we get to enjoy the sandals that we do today? Read on to discover the humble beginnings of this classic bestseller.
The term “flip-flop” dates back to almost 50 years ago, but in reality, this has been enjoyed by men and women for over six thousand years! “Flip flap” was also a popular term used in 1529. It is quite amazing to know that the Stone Age paintings and Egyptian murals already have early illustrations of flip flops on rocks, tombs and temples. This dates back to as early as 4000 B.C.
Papyrus leaves were the material of choice in 1500 B.C. The natural fabrics used actually vary, depending on the region: Palm leaves and papyrus were popular in Egypt, rawhide was used in Africa and India preferred wearing their flip-flops made of wooden material. China and Japan enjoy rice straw sandals. Other countries have also used plants, such as the yucca plant in Mexico and the sisal plant in South America.
The old version of the sandals we use today did not always have the distinct band on the largest toe. Certain civilizations had different preferences on where to put the toe strap. Mesopotamians liked it in their third toe, the Romans used the second toe and Greeks were the first to use the big toe for the band strap. These were the first flip-flop styles in the world.
It was in Japan that the thong sandal started to gain popularity. Initially used by Japanese children to help them learn how to walk, the “zori” (Japanese for the thong-style slippers) is now the footwear of choice in almost every country in the world.
The Japanese were responsible for bringing the flip-flops to America. They gave out the “zori” as souvenirs. Soldiers were some of the first sandal users, but the material was stiff and cheap that they ended up having blisters. American pop culture caught on, and it evolved into the bright designs that we see today. First seen in California surfers and beach lovers, materials of different kinds have started to emerge.
Flip flops are like the jeans of footwear – they never go out of style. The past twenty years have really put the flip flops along with high fashion; from simple rubber versions to studded Swarovski crystals to famous brands like Havaianas flip flops, this well-loved sandal is here to stay.
