An Invigorating Dose of Venom

Yes, I'm again quite late with this, BUT as I always say, it's better late than never! It's been quite the journey for the MISS SL 2016 contestants, and hopefully it's been a rewarding one for all of them too. For this Grande Finale event, we got to see not one but three fabulous ensembles from the contestants. First we got to see their Victoria's Secret stylings, then we got to see them in their National Costume stylings, and last but certainly not least, we got to see their Formal stylings. It was a long day, lots on anticipation, but we narrowed it down to the top 12, then the top 5, then finally, the winner of MISS SL 2016. Miss Ivyana Szondi has been a fabulous Queen so far and it's been a pleasure to see her continue to shine, but in my personal opinion, every MISS SL 2016 contestant is a shiny gem and will continue to do great things! As for me, well, I'll continue to be around too, just as I was all through the pageant. *Smiles* OH and I almost forgot! Below is the dress I wore hosting the Grande Finale. It's by ISON and has absolutely gorgeous lace detail for the bodice, and the sheer overlay for the top is optional. It came in several colors, and had fits for all the popular mesh bodies out there. *Smiles* I chose black because you can never go wrong with a classic black dress!

Funny story about this ensemble I've got going here. *Grins* So I'm working on a styling to show the jewelry below, which is called Scheherazade, and I thought that these silks by Mirage, called 1001 Nights looked really good with it, so I went with it not really knowing what Scheherazade meant. So while I'm trying to come up with a name that makes sense and suits it, I looked up exactly what Scheherazade is... and behold my shock when Scheherazade is a legendary Persian Queen who told the story of One Thousand and One Nights... Totally an accident but it totally works out!
⚜

So anyway, this beautiful new jewelry set is by Moondance Boutique, and comes with a necklace, tikka, bracelet for each wrist, ring for each hand, and 2 types of earrings, with and without the nose chain. The jewelry also has a popup that enables you to change between 8 metal colors, 10 gradient gem colors, and 10 pastel gem colors.
⚜

The silks are by Mirage Treasure Co. and they come with system layers for the top and panties, as well as Omega and Lola's appliers, flexy skirt piece, gold belt, and jewelry to match (jewelry is not shown in image below!) so you can wear it with almost every mesh body available as long as there's an Omega converter for it!
