Second Style Stylecast Epiosode 7 is out.  The weather is getting cooler so we needed some new sweaters!  Hear what's new for fall this year.  Listen at: http://stylecast.secondstyle.com or subscribe in iTunes!

Join us as we talk to Siyu Suen, master of Illusions in Second Life!  Siyu talks about her beginnings in mask-making and her future plans to expand into clothing.

If you can't wait for Siyu to start making clothing, be sure to visit Cashmere and Dutch Touch for the latest looks.  Afterwards, teleport to Pillow Talk to relax in comfort.

Be sure to visit our new sponsor's store, Nymphetamine Boutique!

All music is from the Podsafe Music Network.

Siyu Suen's Illusions is THE place to visit when you need a mask.  Ms. Suen, a self-described rabid perfectionist, makes all of her products with love.  Her affection for her designs shows in even the smallest eye-patch. 

A builder, Ms. Suen started making masks last November because she didn't believe that available masks were up to her high standards.  Eventually, she began producing hats and jewelry.  Soon, we should be seeing Illusions clothing with feathers by Jen Shikami!

One of her most recent projects, the Gracile hat, was featured in Nicky Ree's ads for her fabulous Swan Lake.  Siyu just happened to run across Bonnie Trivizas' real life swan hat from her feather business, Fowl Play.  Ms. Trivizas gave Siyu permission to interpret her design in Second Life, and an instant classic was born.

Be sure to check out the Gracile hat at Illusions.  Also, visit the new Deviant Kitties sim which Siyu built!

At Gianni Broda's Cashmere, you'll find sixties, seventies, and eighties designs done in fine fabrics with an eye for details.  From amazingly long maxi dresses to micro-minis, to stirrup pants, your every recent-retro need can be met here.  And at only $250L an outfit, you have no excuse for not buying several!

In the picture above, I'm wearing the Vein dress.

Iki Ikarus' Dutch Touch is a great store for emo/grunge/punk outfits and separates for men and women.  The clothes have a common color scheme, so you can mix and match parts of one outfit with parts of another.  We love the clothes from this innovative designer and we think you will, too!

Sandy Clymer's Pillow Talk is a great place to buy poses, animations and now, even houses.  Teleport over to the store on the Pillow Talk sim and you'll find yourself in fluffy clouds, surrounded by soft, cushy pillows.  Move down through the levels of the store and you'll end up on the ground near a peaceful picnic scene where you can relax with friends.

Second Style Stylecast Episode 6 is out!  We talk about new shoes in Second Life.  Listen to it at: http://stylecast.secondstyle.com or subscribe to it in iTunes.

Second Style Stylecast Episode 5 is out!  This time we interview Ryan Darragh from Men's Second Style Blog.  You can listen to the show at http://stylecast.secondstyle.com or subscribe to it in iTunes.

Wow.  This is our tenth episode!  Can you believe it?  Neither can we!  We wanted to do something special, so we looked for a major designer with a bit of an air of mystery!  We also really wanted to use the title "Another Helping of Tiramisu!"

Luckily, Elikapeka Tiramisu of ETD was available.  You know ETD, the huge hair shop that EVERYONE loves?  C'mon, look in your inventory, you have Sofia, don't you?  If not, get over to ETD immediately!  See the entry below for a SLurl.

Of course, having such a major guest on the show presented a problem.  How do you follow that act?  For us, the answer was clear -- with Madison Carnot:  fashion blogger (http://blog.secondstyle.com and http://madisoncarnot.wordpress.com), model, shopping queen, and our closest friend.

Today, we had the pleasure of speaking with Elikapeka Tiramisu.  As the designer behind ETD, Elika designs hair, clothing, accessories, and shoes.  However, being one of the biggest hair vendors in Second Life isn't enough for Ms. Tiramisu.  She shared with us that now she's working on designing skins!

If she's half as meticulous about her skins as she is about her hair, we're in for quite a treat.  For now, Elika revealed to us that she's still in the early stages of developing her skins as you'll hear on the show.  Though she's also working on making her ETD Isle store a more efficient place to shop.

As frequent ETD shoppers ourselves, Daphne and I have learned first-hand that Elika is very concerned about keeping her customers happy.  We're confident saying that whatever Elika does next, it will be worth waiting for!

Well, it was inevitable that we were going to give our friend Madison this honor.  Having been here for two years, she knew both of us when we were newbies and she taught us both how to shop in Second Life.  Honestly, we hate to think of how we'd look today if she hadn't intervened! 


We spoke with Madison about some of her favorite places to shop in Second Life.  For soft flexi curls and waves, Madison is all about Cake. And she swears the best jeans in SL can be found at LF Fashions.  We followed her there and left several Lindens lighter.  However, it was me, Tamara, who converted Madison to the cult of Tete a Pied, where she now buys most of her skins.
