<br />
Back in 2009, we started this blog as a way of doing something together in SL and having a blast while we do it. Not only shopping but taking pics and just having fun working on a project together.<br />
<br />
We never expected this blog to have any sort of following or for people to enjoy the posts. For that we have been and always will be eternally grateful. But as with all things, good or bad, they come to an end.<br />
<br />
Life happens...and sometimes it happens in the most unexpected ways. Each of us have grown and changed over the years with some of the most wonderful events taking place in our lives.<br />
<br />
Rose spends a lot more time in real life and we miss not seeing her inworld as much, but we talk to her as often as we can via facebook, skype and gmail.<br />
<br />
Suite has become an amazing photog specializing in in-world shots and also opened her own store (DieNasty if you haven't seen it yet - check the marketplace!!).<br />
<br />
As for Kilo? Well, let's just say she's been mixing it up in both places and couldn't be happier. In fact, she and Rose will finally meet in the land of flesh and bone next week!! Five years and those two are meeting face-to-face! If you see the four horsemen...WE'RE SORRY (okay maybe not...but didn't it sound sincere? :P)!! <br />
<br />
As far as Shop*Gasm blog: this will our last post. We may be back at some point; either with new projects or even back on this one refreshed and ready to rock a Shop*Gasm 2.0. Who knows? But regardless of what we do, we're always going to be Shop*Gasmers at heart and look forward to the journeys on which we are each embarking.<br />
<br />
Thank you for 3 amazing years! Don't forget to urf the epic store displays and always shop til you drop ;-)<br />
<br />
Much love,<br />
Suite, Rose and Kilo<br />
Shopgasm<br />
<br />
<br />
p.s. We do have our shirts we had made ages ago for an event on sale on the martketplace...feel free to pick one (or a few) up!

I think Ryder's going to be donning a hoodie all week next week" and that was the start of it all. <br />
<br />
I was in a skype call with my sister and her boo, and we went on the hunt for hoodies on Marketplace. Kilo then scoured the land for a box of skittles and found one via a good friend of ours again. 2 simple things, and 1 that is turning into a movement, a call for action, and a need for justice across the United States, and North America for that matter.<br />
<br />
If you have been living under a rock and have no idea what I am talking about, then maybe you should pick up a paper and read. Turn on the TV and get informed.<br />
<br />
The Million Man Hoodie March is spreading like wildfire across North American in memory of Trayvon Martin. A young man in Florida who's life was taken too soon.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/trayvon-martins-death-has-put-spotlight-on-perceptions-about-hoodies/2012/03/24/gIQAwQ6gaS_story.html" target="_blank">Trayvon Martins death has put spotlight on perceptions about hoodies</a><br />
<br />
The assumption and perception that people who wear hoodies are "hooligans" or thugs, or violent, or any sort of negative connotation that you can think of is just ludicrous. I really have no words to express my anger that this kind of stereotyping and racism STILL exists.<br />
<br />
I will let the articles speak for themselves. But before I do, I am proposing a blogger challenge.<br />
<br />
Find a hoodie, and some skittles. Take a picture. Post them in Memory Of Trayvon Martin. Get informed that in no way is a fashion choice excuse enough to take someone's life.<br />
<br />
<b>My name is Suite, and today -- and all week, I PROUDLY wear a hoodie in Memory Of Trayvon. Rest in Peace angel. ♥</b><br />

Hope everyone has had a good one thusfar :) Ok enough formalities...ON TO THE POST!<br />
<br />
You ever have one of those moments when one of your favorite things is merged into fashion and when you see it, you...thud/fall out/drool a lot/think "I want him and him and him and OH him (or her if you're a man...into women..or a woman...into woman...YOU GET MY POINT lol) in THAT!? Yeah...I saw the ad for this and one of the above scenarios may have taken place (or something unmentional lol...but that's neither here nor there). Then as I thought of who should wear this wonderful ensemble, I ran through the list of sexy men that I thought could pull it off...found him and BAM! Here is the chain portion of EgoIsMe & Gabriel's Collab project: Fashion Victim.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-q_BT2jS4NcE/TwQzyvK02YI/AAAAAAAAAsU/N_xAY1mzjno/s1600/darianinchains2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-q_BT2jS4NcE/TwQzyvK02YI/AAAAAAAAAsU/N_xAY1mzjno/s400/darianinchains2.png" width="400" /></a></td></tr>

</td></tr>
</tbody></table>Our model Darian is sporting the leather pants, belt and chains (yes ladies...chains...one of my favorite things *le sigh*) included in this multi-piece ensemble. Also included (but not seen here) are the fur & leather coat, and smoking hot torn tank and shirts, both with collar options.<br />
<br />
<br />
While this photo doesn't really show the whole outfit or do the ad justice (ladies...when I say hot men in the new year to view...just go to EgoIsMe or Gabriel and look at their ads...YOU'LL SEE), I focused on my favorite parts of the look.<br />
<br />
Their motto on the ad is "extravagance meet elegance" and I couldn't agree more. The primwork and detail on the chains and belt are fabulous, the leather pants are snug without looking like one false move and ever string will pop and is something you can either wear fully on runway or pick apart and strut while coasting through the mean streets of SL Lag.<br />
<br />
So ladies, if you like a little chain with your man, but still want him to be a little fashion forward, this grouping is for you! Available on the EgoIsMe sim, the slurl below will show you the way ;)<br />
<br />
Now...I'm going to go double check those chains for um chafing and placement ;) Happy new year, y'all!!<br />
<br />
MWAH!<br />

We are all creatures of habit and if you have an amazing product, then we are more than willing to follow you, support you, give you ideas just so long as we are not taken advantage of. Case and point: Purrfect 10 Shoes. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cHISNUP4Dxg/Tvkh38lAnmI/AAAAAAAAARs/DwqYc1Yaumk/s1600/Snapshot_032.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="286" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cHISNUP4Dxg/Tvkh38lAnmI/AAAAAAAAARs/DwqYc1Yaumk/s400/Snapshot_032.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<br />
For the last year I have been mulling over spending the HORRENDOUS price of $510L to join their VIP. Why you ask? Well because I have seen these shoes all over the grid and they are in fact NICE shoes. But to gouge people right from the start? Not so much. Claiming to be gifting their VIP clientele with "new" product, which ends up being re-colored versions of what is already out there. No so much.<br />
<br />
So tonight I am sitting with 2 of my favorite ladies as we are madly working on our own projects, one screamed in my ear with a loud "OH HELLLLL NAH" and this is what she was speaking of....<br />
<br />
Purrfect 10 VIP Group Changes<br />
Tuesday, 27 Dec 2011 00:50:39 GMT <br />
<br />
We have some exciting changes in store for Purrfect 10 in 2012 which includes reworking our group system and closing our VIP group. This is not the end of gifts and special events, just a change to how we will be offering them to our valued customers. More info attached.<br />
<br />
Don't miss our special Thank You event for our VIP customers, 50 percent off EVERYTHING until Friday :)<br />
<br />
**********************<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
To Our Valued VIP Members,<br />
<br />
Thank you to our valued VIP members for supporting the first year of Purrfect 10! We hope you have enjoyed the many VIP gifts, discounts, and specials. As we head in to 2012 we have decided to rework our group system and will be closing our VIP group. As a final thank you for your support we will be offering a special 50% discount on ALL OF OUR FULL PRICED ITEMS to our VIP members only until end of day Friday. Also, our previous VIP gifts from this past year, including our holiday releases are still free for VIP members for the next few days. Make sure to pick them up before Friday. After that day our VIP release shoes will be available to everyone for 99 L.<br />
<br />
We encourage you to join our regular Purrfect 10 group (free to join) to hear about our new discounts and special events in the New Year. Find our standard group below.... (you can copy and paste it onto chat and click to join :) )<br />
----------------------------------------<br />
<br />
Now, to tell that to your 1000+ VIP members who have spent $510L to join your group to get some not so amazing deals in the end.... SLAP IN THE FACE. Sorry Purrfect you kinda "put your shoe in your mouth".<br />
<br />
Do the math.... $510L x 1000 = $510,000, and I know the group was fast growing to 2000 members. I am happy to say that I am glad my first instinct paid off in not joining the group. Because as it stands now, as you will see your customer base who is aleady not happy, will be even more so.<br />
<br />
Customer Loyalty is everything. In SL it is easy to want to make a quick buck, but learn a lesson, greed is not the way to go, and this is just as greedy as they come. My apologies to all those who love Purrfect 10 shoes, but in my honest opinion ya'll just got hosed.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1997615891095612473.post-69252896600930975522011-12-26T09:17:00.000-05:002011-12-26T09:17:06.850-05:00Happy Boxing Day!If your Holiday season has been anything like mine, the last thing you want to do it go shopping on Boxing day. Retail sucks this time of year, and I'm speaking as a consumer and as a person who works retail IRL. Just sucky all around.<br />
<br />
However, what does not bite me in the butt is tossing on some of the most comfy clothes I have in my inventory and spending the day just lounging around in my very own personal Christmas Present.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fUpbqLRajrg/Tvh_ACuq6JI/AAAAAAAAARU/YBMZSvzYWFU/s1600/blogdec26a.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fUpbqLRajrg/Tvh_ACuq6JI/AAAAAAAAARU/YBMZSvzYWFU/s400/blogdec26a.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />
Yay and a sigh of relief is what I feel now that the season is over. So I get some of my trusty clothes and rock them like only I know how.... <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/AMERIE/191/94/26" target="_blank">Amerie</a> and their lovely black fur textured hoodie, <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Cherrywood/227/26/1299" target="_blank">Admiral Spicy</a> with their off the hip jeans, my trusty <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Boots/162/125/29" target="_blank">Baxies</a>, and of course it would not be complete without an uber cute off to the side pony from <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Magika%20Land/136/110/21" target="_blank">Magika</a>.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">2012 is fast approaching and I for one and making a couple of promises to myself this year. I refuse to call them resolutions as I will just end up getting discouraged, but if they are promises I am sure that I will have no problem making them come true. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This will probably be my last post of 2011. It has been a wonderful year. Full of tears, joys, sorrows, laughter, and support. I like many, have learned a few lessons, some, in the hard way. I have seen relationships tested, friendships made and broken. Trust given and taken away. I think 2011 was definatly a year that "most" of us woke up and opened our eyes to things surrounding us. It has been an amazing journey in self-discovery, one with many experiences I will hold true to my heart, even if some were bad. This year, opened my eyes to many things I have been blinded to in the past. 2012 is a new chapter. One I am very much looking forward to see.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

It looks smooth, clean, crisp.  It bends nicely with your avatar when you move.  The movements are fluid with your avi, and it is just better than to have to wear a pant layer and add prim cuffs all the time.</p> <p>So try them out, try them from <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/The%20Beautiful%20Machine/37/224/23" target="_blank">Plastik</a>, I promise you will NOT be disappointed!  Oh and please note, that unless they are patterned related, all new releases from Plastik will be in colour packs!</p> <p> </p> <p><img style="margin: 7px 0px" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7013/6556079945_2e32207380.jpg" /></p> <p>Pants: :[P]:-Elizabeth Mesh Pants://Electric [ <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/The%20Beautiful%20Machine/37/224/23" target="_blank">S L U R L</a>]  $399L</p> <p>Hair:  TRUTH Hair – Harlow </p> <p>Boots: [Gos] GTFO Boots </p> <p>Top: PARADISIS Santa pop girl </p> <p>Headphones: PARADISIS Santa pop girl</p> <p>Glasses: [Gos] Custom Eyeware – INTUITION </p> <p>*yes I am being bad, no linkies today, well except for PLASTIK *</p> Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1997615891095612473.post-90381412468115107112011-12-14T16:12:00.001-05:002011-12-14T16:12:56.908-05:00Reach for the Stars… Fashion that is…<p>The crew over at Stars Fashions is at it again.  Today we see the new PROMO Release of “Curiosity” and this ENTIRE outfit can be yours for just $99L!  I know, I sound like one of those infomercial goofballs…. *hey can I slap your nuts o.O*  </p> <p>This cute little dress comes with a great brown leather coat, and some pretty damn snazzy shearling boots.  The belt adds the finishing touch to this lovely ensemble, and I have to say, this might be my favourite outfit from them yet.  </p> <p>Keep up the great work guys!</p> <p> </p> <p><img style="margin: 7px 0px" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7034/6512456185_17fa1875a8_z.jpg" /></p> <p>Suiteums Goodie List:  </p> <p>Hair – ^;^CaTwA^;^ Mayar -Dark Reds- [ <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/CaTwA/128/11/22" target="_blank">S L U R L</a> ]   </p> <p>Outfit:- *Stars*Fashion* Curiosity * [ <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Keener/41/100/95" target="_blank">S L U R L</a> ]   </p> Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1997615891095612473.post-65679497083512875682011-12-10T20:05:00.001-05:002011-12-10T20:24:35.994-05:00Feeling Pretty in Vintage VassniaWow...it's been a while! Hi there! I've been so busy with work and school (made Dean's List babehhhhh YEAH!!) that I haven't had as much time to devote to blogging and dressing up as I would like. But for this dress, I drooled. I droooooooooooooooooled. In part because it was gorgeous, but also because not much had caught my eye to inspire me to try something different of late. Presenting Vassnia's Steampunk Sephia:<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>See...I have never really been one for period pieces, but when I saw this dress...I couldn't resist. It...called to me..."Kilooooooooooooo...weaaaaaaaaaaar me!! Shoooooot me!!!" and BAM ideas sparked!<br />
<br />
What I love love LOVE about this dress is the details (deeeeeeeeetails). The intricate attention to the layering of the bustle and skirt of this dress. The train...OMG the train!! I swear I felt like an aristocrat. Then a couple of friends who saw me in it thought I was going to a wedding (HA!). That did make me giggle. Anyway...back to the dress! The added emphasis it seems to have on the back of the corset including the slightly undone bottom of it at the small of the back; it's like this thing KNEW my big butt was gonna wear it and said "GIVE THAT BACKSIIIIIDE SOME ROOM!" For me, that slight detail added a little spice to such a lady-like design and made me go *RAWR*! <br />

</tbody></table>Even the collar while, when close up you can see all of the primwork, looks so wonderfully textured and you can tell a lot of time was taken to make this piece. I love the lace in the center of the collar (seen above ). It's incredibly delicate and the look overall is VERY classy. Add that it comes with its own shoes (not shown) and all you really have to worry about is accessories and hair! And that's actually what took me so long to shoot this thing! I had two very specific additions I felt I could wear this without: the perfect hair style to offset the veil and a parasol. Why a parasol? WHY NOT?? I felt like a Lady, an Aristocrat and I'm almost positive that in the time that this dress would have been worn IRL...the lady wouldn't be caught dead without one.<br />

So after a good month of searching updos, I finally saw this beauty in a blog and lo and behold: the hair was on sale! I couldn't find my tp fast enough! And the parasol, I lucked out and stumbled upon it on the marketplace! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! With everything assembled, I found the perfect spot at home and shot away. Thank you Vassnia for such a wonderful dress!! I have never felt prettier!<br />
<br />
Much love and see y'all soon :)<br />

Let’s be honest, kept me sane when my BF was away most the summer.  If it was not for her, I would have lost my mind – through he laughs, and the tears, and the hours of me being emo, this woman never batted an eyelash.  She just sat there quietly and held my hand.  Always reminding me that she was in charge of me while her brother was away.     I am so very thankful to have a friend like her in my life.  She is irreplaceable, and although our meeting in SL was what one would say “unconventional” the last couple years have been wonderful getting to know her.  She’s ma croissant, and I am her chalupa, and that is all *grins*</p> <p><img style="margin: 7px 0px;

They were a bit different in that the bottom of the foot pad in the back is such a blunt square and a sharp contrast to the curvy structure of the shoe. This threw me off so much so that I was gonna chuck the damn things. Then...I saw Maris Kanto's (creator of the shoe) ads for this marvelous sandal and saw color after color of beauty and fell in love.<br />

Meet Kalnin's newest pretty: The Lynette Sandal. Stylable in 10 primary colors with 3 places to select color, the possibilities are endless with this amazing shoe. Aaaand the toe polish colors are even pretty!! Some of my friends say that Kalnin's has sausage toes for the toes. But you know what? I'm okay with that when the shoes look THIS good! Every detail of this shoe = YUM. And the best part: if you have a difficult skin color to match with this shoe, but know your RGB codes, you simply type in /76 RGB r/g/b and hit enter and voila, your skin color will match perfectly so long as you type in the right numbers. On top of that, they have wonderful presets and sliders on the off chance you don't know that info and would rather muck around til you have the right combo. Talk about an easy to use HUD!<br />
<br />
Now...love this shoe as much as I do, I actually had some trouble styling an outfit around it in order to work the SHOE. So....as I was flipping through color combinations, I was listening to Aerosmith and it hit me..."that's the color!!" So...off to assemble I went!<br />

I immediately started with hair. Why? Well...it's your topper of sorts...your shoes your bottom and you are the filling in the sandwich of hair and feet :D Grabbing my trust Dura hair, the looks were finally coming together. Next, I paired it with Bitch Tail's "No More" ensemble (1st piccie). It was just the kick of pink without being Pepto look I was going for! While the outfit comes with its own shoes, I was not taking these puppies off...they paired so nicely together! Next, unable to try to find more things to wear this with, I remembered I had a jumpsuit with a pink butterfly from Earth and Sky (look #2) and voila!! Off to shoot I went. Cranking the following vid in the background, I simply couldn't stop lovng my new pressie and had so much fun I think I played it about 5 times before I stopped! LOL<br />

I've since tried other color combos, mimicking the ads and just putting my own spin on these puppies. So what started as an "eh" relationship with the new Kalnins has turned into "What fun can I have styling around my shoe??" Wonderful job, Maris and team!!<br />

For me, this holiday is about paying homage to our ancestors, saying good bye to the plants as we pass into our darkest time of the year, when things aren't lively, unless of course you live in the south - doesn't really freeze down there. LOL At any rate, Much like most of the other holidays, most folks have lost sight of the purpose and history behind "Halloween" -<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_W6KtbdfsD0/Tq67vmYKu6I/AAAAAAAAAbs/dxN3NcKSwG4/s1600/Alternated2.png"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 152px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5669675407336192930" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_W6KtbdfsD0/Tq67vmYKu6I/AAAAAAAAAbs/dxN3NcKSwG4/s200/Alternated2.png" /></a><br /></div><br /><div>So, Onto the blog. Like any other day I ventured forth in search of shopping yayness, My feature store today has a very stable voice. Unlike many stores where you walk in and they've got a variety of styles and no real stand out theme, ::alterego:: has definitely found their sound. When you walk into that store, you know exactly what style clothing you will be shopping for. There's no mistaking an item that has come from ::alterego:: and while a store featuring items of a similar style sounds a bit boring, it's quite the opposite ~ It's very "designer". Think about it, a designers runway show all has a similar pattern/theme look... and so does ::alterego:: so if you're lookin' for a casual/kick ass style definitely take a moment to check this store out!!! </div><br /><div><br /><br /></div><br /><div>one luv - Rose</div><br /><div></div><br /><div align="center">~worn~</div><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Royal%20Properties/239/244/22">~!STARE!~</a> Shape - Custom Marchesha</div><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Laqroki/155/37/30">LAQ</a>- Tasha2 </div><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Toxxic/161/115/36">::alterego:: </a>2Cute4You - aqua</div><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Strata/79/237/903">PC Eyes </a>- Red Amber</div><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Truth%20Hair/151/20/26">Truth Hair </a>- Sienna 2</div><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/UK%20Couture%20Island/230/128/25">-UKCouture -</a> 2Di34 Sculptie Hat without Hair</div><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Luck%20Inc/80/134/22">*Linc*</a> Finger Tapes</div><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Dahlinks/115/145/22">Dahlinks</a> - Custom Mistress Twin Dog Tag</div><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center">~Lip ring, Earrings were both done by !Skream! which is no longer in business~</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1997615891095612473.post-74636446392516653332011-10-28T12:58:00.001-04:002011-10-28T12:58:24.021-04:00Epic Halloween Skins from Plastik!<p>Aikea has outdone herself yet again with some amazing skins just in time for Halloween!

</tbody></table>One month per year is simply not often enough to recognize such a deadly killer. I could lob this post down with a million statistics and it wouldn't change they key message that matters: GET TESTED.<br />
<br />
I mean c'mon folks. It's simply not that difficult. Grope a tit/chesticle/Moob/whatever you want to call it and do it in the name of health. The people listed above are REAL people. Some are famous; others not so much. Yes, half the names on the list...are men.<br />
<br />
Breast cancer affects people at different age levels and ethnicities suffer from this non-prejudiced killer. So do yourself and your loved ones a favor. Get tested.<br />
