First Hair Designs :)

I have released my first 2 hair designs at Marla. Phew! That was a learning curve! Each style is available in 16 different colours and for sale as singles at $100L each. Alternatively you can buy all 16 colours as a bumper texture pack for a discounted price.






I thought i would try and be a bit different and name them after universe/space type stuff. Girls names/goddess names etc are a bit 'done' in SL. I'm guilty of it too but theres got to be at least 1,000 dresses and hairstyles named Marilyn (yes there is one called Marilyn at my shop - its like a crime not to!).


In the interests of choice - and having only made 2 hairstyles ever - i decided to make one long and one short ;)



The long one is called Galaxy and is shown here in the Pink, Beach Babe and Black colours.



The 16 colours that each hairstyle is available in includes 8 'natural' colours and 8 'funky' colours so you can mix and match depending on your style mood to your hearts content!

The shorter of the two styles is called SuperNova - and i think its pretty foxy :)

It is pictured above in Sea, Wine and Sandy.

Both styles are flexi and there are demos for you to try :)

Btw - The dress is Rockin' by Marla, tattoos by Aitui, skin by Naughty and custom shape from Shapes By Zada x

Having an artistic moment......











5 new dresses are released this week at Marla. The first 2 (above) are both, i think, really different and arty dresses. Muse on the left is inspired by the Andy Warhol Marilyn print and comes with the long and short flexi skirts for $250L.

Making Hay is the dress above on the right and is also inspired by Warhol. The outfit kinda brings to mind hot summer days and rolling around in hay - hence the name :)
With Chic (above) is was going for the cute, sexy secretary look i think! I must admit i love this dress - theres quite a lot of detail in it and the long and short flexi skirts add some versatility. Its pretty cute in a kinda laid back, preppy kinda way. Again is on sale for $250L at the Marla main store. (all the dresses listed in this post are $250L - so i guess i can shut up about that now lol )

Cannes (above) is named in honour of the film festival - and i think wouldnt look out of place there. Its totally hand drawn (as most of my stuff is) and is pretty sexy in an elegant way.
Oh and some Mall new - all the Units are totally full - there are some great brands there. Hair by Cher, Shapes by Zada, Freda's Fine Fashions, Fashion Club, Nea-Ban Eyewear, Apple May Designs, Aitui Tattoo, Purple Rose Jewellery, etc
There a lucky chair with some really nice clothes and other stuff in there, some dance pads for all you campers and i am now holding regular exhibitions and events. The Art and Photoghraphy exhibit; 'Beauty and SL' was successful and mentioned in both the Avastar and SL Enquirer. Oh, speaking of which check out the Avastaron Friday coz im featured in there doing an Inventory Sneak Peek! lol - It was great fun :)
Lastly, before i sign off - anyone reading this will be the first to know that i am working on some hair designs! Am really excited about it and totally enjoying pretending that im a hairdresser! So look out for when i get around to releasing a decent range :)
Bye for now x

How to have a split personality!




Hi there! I must have a split personality at the moment coz my newest releases and two completely different outfits! But hey variety is the spice of life i guess :)








I have to admit that Vamp is my favourite of the two. Its sensationally sexy and glamourous. The way it moves is pretty cool too - its very soft and just sort of flutters around you. I learnt a new texturing trick for it too! Under the green satin skirt is another skirt layer - but the outside of that skirt is completely clear. You cant see it when looking at it straight on, but underneath it have a purple snakeskin type texture - so when you move you occasionally get a flash of purple under the green skirt which contrasts really well. I am totally into it - but let me know what you think!

Beach Babe is my other most recent release. Its totally laid back, casual, funky and fun and hopefully will appeal to all those Beach Babes out there! I designed it coz i was starting to feel faintly ridiculous floating around Marla Beach in all these long gowns - but then it is SL and everyone just wears what the hell they want to regardless of location or time - which is fab! lol
Come on down to Marla Beach anytime just to hang out and say hi if that grabs your fancy :)

4 Fab New Bling dresses and Marla Beach Expansion











There are 4 new bling dresses in store at Marla - and i have to admit i am particuarly taken with them! One timeless, sexy, classic style in 4 different colour ways and with the bling flexi skirt that i am so fond of! :)











Mae Bling is a monochrome style, Marilyn is a flirty purple and lavender, Ava a sweet blue number and Vivian a sultry red and black lace design. They are all on sale for $450L. Please come and check them out!

As for the mall - i have expanded and bought the plot of land next to it - the whole area now measures a whopping 12288 sq.m! Marla Beach Mall is still there - but now Marla has a brand new BIG shop and the whole area is now called Marla Beach.

Marla has also expanded its range - apart from new outfits being added every week there are now shoes in stock by AFantasy Emporium. Really beautiful, sexy shoes, many of which are colour change! There are also skins and hopefully shapes coming soon x
