Luskwood Bigcat 2.0 Release Party

After four years, Luskwood is proud to release their newest version of the Big Cat avatars; a line that has been iconic of Luskwood's attention to detail and visual design sense since their release in late 2005. A lot of work has gone into retaining the look and design aesthetic that originally made these avatars so popular while modernizing and polishing them; making the improvements obvious while not altering the feel of the characters behind them. In addition, several new species have been added, most notably cougars, a species that has remained noticeably rare in Second Life over the years.

The avatars will be released today - Saturday, July 18 at 7:00 PM SLT. The release party will be rounded out by DJs and live music, with avatar giveaways as prizes.

When:
Saturday, July 18 7pm SLT

Where:
Luskwood, Lusk Sim

Butterfly necklace and earrings are included in the package, as well as the rose shaded sunglasses.

Sunglasses and stacked bangles are included.

(Picture 6) AVENUE Model Graduate Dahlia Joubert is wearing Kristen by Addoro - A beautiful strapless mini dress with flaky petals of a red flower, which pop up against a gray/black swirled pattern.

Champagne!!! Sparkling Fashion

Numerous fashionistas and VIPs flocked to see the debut of the new brand Champagne Sparkling Fashion presented by AVENUE’s lovely models on the stylish Sky Runway last Saturday.

This brand, created by French designer Enzo Champagne is as truly bubbly and sparkly as its name, and the creations are perfect for a sensual and fashionable woman who doesn’t want to go unnoticed.

TraLove Pinazzo wearing Devotion

The show ran smoothly, highlighted by the background music carefully chosen by host Rusch Raymaker, which gave an extra sexy flavour to the event.

Champagne Sparkling Fashion’s clothes are feminine, sexy and stylish, enriched by precious details like scarves, jewels, belts and fringes.


Haruka Kish wearing Touch

Nothing is left out, there’s the lacy babydoll, the radiant red evening dresses, the little dress with the short skirt, but everything has the same keynote, femininity in pure French style.

Champagne Sparkling Fashion is also menswear, always classy, always stylish but with a twist, from the sequined tuxedo to a rich velvet suit perfect for a nobleman, there’s plenty to choose from.


Clyde Saunders wearing Love Never Dies

Elegant, sparkling, fabulous, are the perfect adjectives that spring to mind to describe the collection of Champagne Sparkling Fashion.
