Night at the Premier

A dress? A dress you say? Have I lost my mind? Quite possibly, yes. And if I hadn't already, making this certainly didn't help any!

Seriously, I really did make a dress. Alright, fine! I'll tell you what happened! I was abducted by aliens....

oh...not that story.

I'm working on Clover, v3. (For reference, Clover & Clover II.) It's an elegant up-do, absolutely gorgeous, to die for! The problem? The problem is to finish it, I need to make a couple textures...in all the hair colors, not just the 25 Sultry colors. So, to procrastinate appropriately, I decided to ...make a dress. I spent a full 2 days on the bodice. I should have just made the textures. Hindsight and all that, ya know. But I must say, I'm pretty pleased with how this turned out. I forced myself to keep it down to six colors, because y'all know me. I'd have ended up with 57 shades of this gown if I hadn't! (No, I will not count and tell you how many colors the staff shirts are in, I just know they won't fit in a single folder.)

Anyway, the dress! Click on any of the pictures for a full-size view.


















Y'all know how I like options, so here's how the dress comes:

- multiple layer options
- tea length skirt (my fave)
- gown length skirt
- street length skirt (just below the knee for those who aren't familiar with that term)
- contrasting bolero jacket
- matching print bolero jacket
- gloves
- stockings
- matching bra & panties

There's a free demo at the store, and the Mocha color will be 60L$ for the weekend ONLY! I'm not quite that insane, yet. The fatpack is 25% off and technically, if you buy that, you get a dress and a half free!

Come on over to Calla and pick up a free demo!

Two Beautiful Styles & Roses Galore!

As part of a collaboration effort with Madison Winthorpe of Madison's Creations, the two of us have created a beautiful ensemble for you!

The styles are both part of the Sultry Collection. Clover and Clover II are somewhat similar (hence the II) though both are different in the back and the bangs. Each comes with the little rosebuds which are texture change and include 14 different textures as well as the usual 140 color (tint) script for a myriad of options. The head piece gems are 140 color change, as is the heart in the center with a different command so you can make it a color different from the smaller stones.

Calla Clover

Calla Clover II

Madison's dress, called Shannon, is a soft, feminine gown with striking off the shoulder sleeves with choice of puffs or no puffs on the upper arms and two different skirt options. The textures are so pretty and elegant, and the trim is one of my favorite parts about this dress. The Flame color is my absolute favorite, but Madi goes a little color crazy like I do, so there are plenty of choices to choose from. And if you just can't decide, there's the fatpack!

Also up this week, because I was having so much fun with the rosebuds, is a rosebud hair piece for Calla Lavender. It, too, has 14 texture options (shown!) as well as the 140 color change colors!

Rosebuds for Calla Lavender

Free demos are available of the hair as well as the roses for Lavender, and you can pick up both the gowns and the hair at either Madison's Creations or Calla!

Ultra Sexy Hair for the Ladies & the Men!

One for the ladies, and one for the men. Okay, so they're the same. It was originally a men's style, but it looked so incredibly sexy on me that I had to do it up for the ladies, too! It's an ultra sexy, short shag type style, that's very "just drug myself out of bed and I might have been being naughty" looking. Definitely a must-have!





Teleport on over to Calla to pick them up! Free demos are available as always!

Group Gift!

I totally intended to have a release for you yesterday, and ended up spending all day outside at the park with my kiddos. It was one of those perfect Spring days and I just couldn't resist. So in lieu of a release, I've sent out a group gift! It's the Lily's Favorites pack of the latest release, Adonis.



Also, I will start setting up Employee interviews on Monday for CSR's, so if you haven't gotten your app in, please do so this weekend! Then go outside and enjoy the sunshine!

Love and hugs,
Lily
