Cute, Scary and Nerdy!

So, first off this week don't forget to head to Phoenix Rising which is closing down, and because of this, everything is $25L. I snagged a ton of cute things, including the dress below. Be quick because you only have til the end of October! Also, I swung by Mother Goose's and saw it has a new skin in the luckyboard, which is the cutest yet in my opinion, it has a little tear tattoo on it.

Friday Fantabulouso

It's Friday, and you know what that means! So, actually felt really inspired this week, and I worked very hard to realize my inspiration! It's funny how some weeks it's difficult to even think of one combo to wear, but other weeks things just fall into place. When that happens, I find that somehow everything goes my way-- lucky boards just miraculously change to 'D' easily, and I stumble across an elusive item that would totally round off what I have in mind. Anyway I'll shut up now!

Skin: Dimbula Rose - Colorful Star Clown Skin - $0L - (luckyboard)
Hair: Analog Dog - pistacchio rose - $0L - (look for the clear bubbles on the left of the tp point)
Earrings: MonS - Mons Gift 1 - $1L - (other colors inc.)
Glasses: Beautiful Disaster - shutter glasses - $0L - (blame it on the pop hunt, you are looking for a record)
Shirt: Decollage @ GNUBIE - Tshirt Pack 2: hugs not drugs - $1L
Armwarmers: burnt orange (aridoki) via SL marketplace - rainbow wraps - $1L
Belt: Izumiya - tie belt/patterns - $70L - (inc. color change options)
Pants: JEM - baggy pants grey - $10L - (on sale stand on left of tp)
Leggings: Beatnik - Leopard Pants Blue - $0L - (found thanks to ...addicted blog)
Shoes: J.E.M - sneakers white - $10L - (with color change options, on sale stand)
Ring: edge grafica - 32 square ring - $0L - (color change options)
Headphones: JILL - (no longer avail)
Necklace: epoque - (no longer avail)
POSES: Izumiya

I love this shirt! "Hugs Not Drugs" is something I quote a lot in real life, so to find a shirt with it on is awesomesauce! For those not familiar with the phrase it's an actual US anti-drug slogan from the 60s or 70s, that sounds kinda stupid and dated nowadays (it probably sounded stupid then, too, actually-- who seriously thought that would work?) But it's funny, so I say it. Oh, elaborating on the 'things going my way' thing I was talking about at the start of this entry-- I have been trying to get the skin in this pic from Dimbula Rose for weeks now. It has two skins on the board, and a long wait on the board, so it's kinda difficult to get. In waiting I managed to get all the other skins but the circus skin was eluding me so I gave up last week. So anyway I needed a skin to round off the outfit, and I had a decent one, but then I remembered about the DM skin being pretty pop-y and cute, so I decided to swing by Dimbula Rose just before I started taking the pics of the outfit, and bam-- there was a D on the board with 1 minute left! So, it's funny how things fall together sometimes. Anyway let me take this opportunity to show you a close up of the skin, which I totes love. There are cute star tattoos and things on it too.

This post actually took forever namely thanks to this third picture, where I had all sorts of problems: Firstly posing the KOISADA bag-- it has a limiting script on it that won't even let you attach to other points for some ungodly reason, and killing the script wouldn't work, so I had pose then move the bag to the other hand each time it was in the way. And then I couldn't remember where I'd gotten the earrings/necklace from (it's usually in the mainstore, but I went there and it doesn't have the freebie version) so and I had to retrace my steps sim by sim and tp by tp until I stumbled across it again-- since there were no alternate store locs in the owners picks. Lastly, to make it even even harder, Mother Goose's has redone their main store so it took me a while to find BINI again; though it's not hard to find, it was just something to add to this week's frustration. And to add insult to injury, when taking pics finally, my home sim went down for maintenance-- so I tp'd over to my fave sandbox. And just when I had set up my photobooth over there, and angled the camera correctly, that went down for maintenence too! So I tp'd back to my house and that's when my comp locked up and I lost my current blog post, including the last slurls I had just compiled (for this particular outfit), and I had to do it again. Argh! What should have been an hour to make sure the slurls etc were correct took about four, just for the one picture. I mean it's not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, it was just oddly frustrating how everything was going wrong. It seems to be the picture that didn't want to exist, haha. Anyway at least the result was worth it!

Dress: 1mm - denim dot dress - $0L - (inc optional shirt; group gift)
Skin: Mother Goose's - bini set 03 - $50L - (in discounted area outside; set of four skins)

Eyes: Ibanez
POSES: Izumiya

Almost to make up for the third picture taking forever, this one went really smoothly, so that's good at least! It almost made itself! But not quite. :P

Thanks for your patience,

It's My Rez Day!

Yes, I know it's not Friday, but this morning I realized that today is my Rez Day! Woo! So, it's been four years since I joined SL. A lot has happened in four years. I don't have a lot of newbie (oldbie) pics, partly because I was on a different comp back then, so instead, here's my little crappy Rezday graphic I whipped up, featuring the food fight outfit from ...spoonful of sugar that you can get for free on your Rez Day (someone has to send it to you though).

Skin: Cupcakes - Kawaii 'Coral' : Ancient - $0L - (Hit the Midnight Mania Board. Be Quick)
Hair: Cherry Girl - Hapiko Ayumi FHair Pink - $10L
Outfit: ...spoonful of sugar - Food Fight! - $0L - (Free On Your Rezday)
Eyes: Plastic
Pose:: SHISEIDo?

Thank you all the positive feedback, and encouragement lately-- it has really lifted me up, especially after feeling so unmotivated last week! I really appreciate it. Thank you for reading my blog, and thank you to the content creators who make Second Life what it is; without whom I wouldn't even be here.

I hope you continue to support me in future!

Kiss Kiss, Cute Cute

Hey Nafashionistas! I actually happened across a store called M+M in my travels last week, while exploring the Koenji sim. It's a great store full of really great outfits. I found four luckyboards in the corner of the store, in a cute little alcove. As I waited for the boards in the span of about two-three days, it was interesting-- because obviously somehow the store hit some freebie list or something-- I began noticing people tping in and nabbing the group gift at the entrance. Somehow most people didn't see or want to wait for the boards, so I don't think they've been featured very much yet-- I hope, at least. Note that the candy blouse has a blousey prim attachment that you can add to your stomach. I thought my outfit looked better with the shirt layer tucked in, so I did it that way.

The other store I happened across is one called !!Kiss Kiss Bang Bang!! which is new to probably only me-- it's the first time I hear of it. It's a freebie/cheapie store, that offers cheap yet well made clothing. I liked it a lot because I find it hard to accessorize well cheaply, and I'm always greatful to happen across low priced accessory stores like this, and Chuculet which I adore. Just note that Chuculet has similar belts for cheaper ($1L vs $5L) compared to !!KKBB!! if you're going to buy any belts-- I bought mine before I realized this. Nevertheless, !!KKBB!! is a great store-- the yellow skirt is actually a really nice dress. I loved it so much I bought all the colors! Also, I was doing a hunt and came across Ronsem which so far has amazing stuff, including a free hair near the hair area inside the store; it's really awesomely made, too. So much so I am considering buying more hair (except I wish they did fatpacks as I don't know which color to buy!)

Top: **M+M** - Blouse: Candy - $0L - (Luckyboard)
Skirt: !!KKBB!! - Claudia Dress: Yellow - $5L - (Only Wearing Skirt)
Belt: !!KKBB!! - Kaya Belt: Black & Silver - $5L
Shoes: !!KKBB!! - Wrapped Heels: Orange - $0L - (Luckyboard)

Hair: Ronsem - Mai: Blonde - $0L
Glasses: Role Optic - Bon - $379L
Earrings: *BOOM* - Ion Earrings: Rainbow - (No Longer Avail)
Poses: SHISHEDo?

I adore this dress from !!KKBB!! -- it's my favourite one there, although they have tons of great dresses. And the colors happen to co-incide with this jewelled wing attachment I grabbed from BOOM's luckyboard which I didn't notice last time I visited BOOM. The tattoo I was informed about last week by a friend of CINQ ONZE and I'm glad I checked it out. I don't usually wear tattoos (I would say they're not my style) but I appreciate well made tattoos, and this is both pretty and well made. The skin is a new group gift by Candydoll!

Unfortunately, when I started this, Magika's was on sale, and it's not now, sorry about that-- but they do have a free hairstyle in the color demo area, which I haven't featured, but check that out. Also, I stopped by McSkin again, which has the cutest skin ever in its luckyboard, totally adorable. I love the all in one you get at M+M so much I've styled it in three ways.

One more look using the polkadot all in one from M+M-- I'm a real sucker for any kind of cardigan, so I love the ones !!KKBB!! has-- I love to layer layer layer, in SL. The more I can, the better. Also don't forget to get the cute Tuli skin from TDR this week.

Last but not least, more items from Ronsem and a overshirt from +And Count+ which I got a while ago but never featured because I've been seeing it everywhere. It just seemed to suit this look though, so much so here's a little reminder to go get it. The tank from !!KKBB!! is awesome in my opinion-- there are four colors with different designs on them to get. They actually come with their own frayed jeans, which look really good but I paired it with the shorts from izm. so that I could add the Ronsem shoes to it. The hair I nabbed from the =Feather= luckyboard, and the skin is from a new (to me) place called Sowelu the skin looks so ganguro cute, I love it! I hope you do too!

Hair: =Feather= - Estelle Light Red - $0L - (Luckyboard)

That's it from me. I hope you enjoyed this post-- it's a lot of outfits, huh? Though it's so much fun putting outfits together, it really takes a lot of time to do, so I hope you enjoyed this post.

See you next Friday,

Last but not least, EL'n is closing down and because of this, everything is 5-10L -- I wasn't familiar with El'n before, but it's a shame because it has some super super cute items. My favourites were the little bear outfits; but I bought lots of things, including the cute turtle pet and the frog blaster

Wear Gray, Wear Great.

I know I said I wouldn't blog big events, but it was decidedly empty when I dropped by the Wear Gray charity event earlier this week that I decided that people needed a little reminder to go-- it's for a good cause, and there is also hunt on at the sim; you can buy the grey ribbons hidden in various stores for $20L each and grab some really neat stuff.

Apart from that, I dropped by a store called Halcali, which had this yellow dress which I am totally in love with-- so bright and funky! They also have 50% off the other colors, so check it out now. I also happened across a store called RubisoHo which I had never heard of before-- the luckyboard hair they are giving away is awesomesauce.

Also, Long Awkard Pose gave me one of their blogger packs; yay! Thank you so much! I will put it to good use!

The D!va

It's Friday, which means it's time for my weekly update; So, around two weeks ago, I was hanging around D!va, waiting for my letter on the luckyboard and blogging the entry before last (which features one hair from D!va already), when I met the owner, Marisa Kira. She was setting up a new group gift, which very kindly gave to me immediately because she needed me to go while she set it up. She also gave me the hair from ALL the boards I was waiting for, and she was very sweet when I chatted to her. So, because my most favourite thing in this world is people who are nice I am extremely pleased to feature some D!va hair this update. I also swung by one of my favourite stores, Kuri Style, which has new (to me) cheapies out that I hadn't seen before, including some I haven't blogged.

So, project Themory's theme this week was 'Back To School' which inspired me to create a cute fuku like school uniform. I wanted to buy one, and I searched, but I just don't know where to look anymore. I wanted one like the ones I used to get from Sera Korea which is sadly, now gone. So I couldn't find anything else in my budget, and had to make it myself. I don't think I did too badly, considering. And I absolutely adore this skin from Mother Goose's. It's so awesome and edgy! Unfortunately the MijnT school props are no longer there, sorry about that

Oldie But Goodie ♥

I'm participating in the 'Oldie But Goodie' blogging theme that Alysha Rennahan has put up through plurk, and it was a bit of a challenge finding things old enough-- most pre-2008 stuff I've thrown away! But I did find my very first 'good' skin-- 'Scarlet Vanilla' aquired in 2006! I have no idea where or how I got it and the creator says 'newbie_template Linden' But, I'm sure it was never part of the original avatars, as far as I know-- it's not in my library in any case. It's quite featureless by today's standards, but for 2006, it was the prettiest skin I owned. Everything beneath the face is barbie like though. x3 Oh! Remember the one full perm CS skin floating around with the freckles? That one never suited me though, but I rember getting it and giving it to like all my alts!

So, this is one of my first freebie outfits ever-- the hair especially was my first fave hair-- I absolutely adored it and refused to take it off. It was also my first indication that freebies could be as good as the full price stuff-- and that I didn't look any good with the neon pink stilettos with massive bling. Hoo boy. I cringe when I think about how I and other people used to look in SL, and am surprised when I STILL continue to see some people looking slightly that way! There's no excuse now! Ahh! But it's kind of amazing, all these items are 2008 and they still hold up pretty well. I still adore the cardigan from [42] and I still wear it! It goes with everything!

*keep in mind none of these items may be available anymore, even though the creators are still around!
Hair: Uw.St
Cardigan [42] - Grey Cardigan -
Dress: ICING - Night Mist
Shoes: TRUTH - Balmoral Pumps -
Eyes: Mai Bodyshop
Skin: - Scarlett Vanilla -
Pose: 1 & 2 - ++Desire++
Pose: 3 - Olive Juice

This second outfit is from around 2006-2007 (except the shoes and I think skin) and is comprised of the first things I ever bought in game, ever! Yes, really. This was the first items I ever purchased! The first thing I ever bought was the Kin hair, even before I had a proper outfit! I still love this hair, and I feel the quality of it stands the test of time. Next, the dress was the very first item of clothing I paid for from *tweet* which sadly seems to be defunct now. . I like to think I made good choices as I feel the quality of them are still really relevant today. I remember coveting all their outfits! I felt *tweet* was one of the first creators to bring something different to the table, namely asian fusion fashion that is now so prevalent in SL. At the time, the 'norm' for fashion, was well... whore wear! Ahh! (In some sims, it still is! ) And the UBU shoes, well Gabi blogged them first-- but that reminded me, those UBU shoes were the first pair of shoes I ever bought in game, and the most expensive item I had ever bought at the time! Of course since then I've dropped money quicker than I can earn it!

Skin: Ti'ko
Outfit: *tweet*
Shoes:: Urban Bomb Unit
Leggings: Punch Drunk
Hair: Kin
Poses: Olive Juice - $0L - Hide & Seek Hunt - (on now!)

Well that's it from me, I hoped you liked my delve into memory lane!
