I don't need no excuse to cosplay Ariel.

This rad sketch-style skater dress is by Noodles at Geeks n Nerds Fair and comes in various themes including Disney Princesses, Hogwarts uniforms, and Star Wars, and they are all amazing quirky love. 

The hair I got in Olive's amazing 75% off Black Friday sale (sadly now over) is PERFECT with it, and I'm wearing Fri.day's wellies from Kawaii Project because I don't want to get my feet wet. Though that's Splash! lore, I guess.

The necklace which is a dead ringer for Ursula/Vanessa's in The Little Mermaid was actually a freebie from Erare, the mermaidy side project at Celoe. It might still be there even. 

About my lip colour - it's from Nova Bodyshop, which is still relatively um....nova - and honestly their lipsticks are some of the best value on the grid if you own one or more mesh mouths. You get like 10 or more system layer lip colours within a colour family, plus appliers for Loud Mouth AND Nyam Nyam, all for usually about L$100, and as you can see, they're wonderful quality. 

My fishy companions are both from silentsparrow but separately. The one on the right is from the Elemen-Tails gacha machine, the other is a plushie available in the normal buying sort of way. They are each lovely though.

I hadn't intended to indulge in a sort of half-assed cosplay, but when I got this Damselfly hair at the Geeks n Nerds Fair, with adorable built-in animal hat, I couldn't resist. There is actually a perfectly amazing Fionna from Adventure Time costume by FATEplay at that same event (where I also got my backpack and sword), but I wanted to do my own weird mashup and I ended up neither Finn nor Fionna but something strange of my own invention.

Still since I'm a girl, I went with that universe, and so the part of Cake the Cat is played by my dear KittyCat Willow.

I also want to point out that I searched all over for thigh-high either mesh or applier white socks, to no avail, and now, as I type this, I see Luxuria has some out for Fifty Linden Friday. Typical!

Not everyone was set up yet when I visited the blogger's preview of the Geeks n Nerds fair, but there was plenty there to keep my geeky nerdy wallet occupied - it's an event I've been looking forward to since I first heard about it a month or so ago.

My dress is my Katat0nik and is available in various bright colours who assorted comicbook onomatopoeic sound effects emblazoned across the front. Here I am wearing the rather nonstandard BSOD, which I forbade Persephone Paine over at Dressing in Pixels to wear because she has a Mac and thus does not understand the torment of the Blue Screen of Death. It has binary code on the sleeves which my husband pointed out hexadecimal would be more appropriate and I pointed out that he sucks. It was a good exchange. Anyway the dress is fitted mesh, and rigged to fit the Slink Physique mesh body, which is rad.

Also rad are my nails, which are by Fetch and look like rupees from the Legend of Zelda games, and my cool Yoshi-inspired earrings from Frogstar - part of a line including matching necklaces and nail appliers available at Geeks n Nerds.

My hair is blue because I wanted it to be (it is in RL too!), but I left my stubble red because Niv is after all a true redhead. The facial tattoos by Wicked Peach I chose as an elegant alternative to piercings. 

Second Spaces as always hits the mark for humorous everyday clutter with the excellent box of junk you see at my feet, which I have paired for aesthetic value with an older item of hers, a broken monitor.

Geeks n Nerds Fair opens to the public at midnight SLT on November 24th 2014.

#SLBareFaceChallenge

Genkai Tesla's SL Bareface meme thingy. No makeup, no lashes - in my case, not even my freckles, no Photoshop (I assume cropping is allowed!). Just natural, pretty faces.

The picture below was taken with the awesome Black Dragon viewer, using only effects and such built into that viewer.

If you're one of the approximately 7 people left in SL who have not yet taken the SL Bare Face Challenge, I challenge you. Hooray!
