While I'm away I'm trying various things with my picture-taking to compensate for a lack of graphics quality. This accounts for the lack of consistency and general...stuffishness here. These particular pictures were taken in the Black Dragon viewer, which is why they're rather less jaggedy than in my last post, but they also came out terribly dark, so I've fiddled around in Pixlr. 

So onto the meat of the stuff. 

My dress (it is a dress, in fact) is the new CreamFresh by Ducknipple and is controlled by HUD in 12 different colours and has an excellent subtle diagonal stripe sheen on it. 

The boots are part of one of Plastik's legendary Fifty Linden Friday "outfits" (which actually amount to more like a mini wardrobe around a theme, always worth picking up). 

While I've been busy, one of the few events I've been sure to hit up is the Creepy Kawaii Fair. First of all my skin from there, by Pink Fuel. It feels funny to go back to a darker Crystal tone from the Vamp, but the Glitter Tears makeup is just to die for. In comes in various variations, and as an excellent bonus, includes a HUD which dispenses all the appliers currently offered by Pink Fuel in one convenient package, though this does not yet include appliers for the Belleza or Maitreya bodies, so here I am wearing the Slink Physique instead.

Also from Creepy Kawaii is this amazing ringletty hair by Ayashi. Ayashi is one of those stores I should shop more often, I really should, because I find myself enjoying their innovative styles very often when I do - this one includes the little devil horns, which can also be hidden. My last Creepy Kawaii purchase in this post is the baby giraffe, from a gacha by Half Deer, which I must admit I rather splurged on, because giraffes are rather my favourite animal, and this one came in so many lovely designs. He's a walking along friend, and the gacha has no rares! Yay!

Yay I'm away from home and on my laptop and so all my pictures are jaggedy like this! Woo! Sorry, this is how it's gonna be for the next couple of months. 

Here I'm doing a joint post with Persephone Paine from Dressing in Pixels because I'm sitting next to her right now in real life! So here we are, in our finery from Collabor88. A really nice cozy downbeat theme this month with some nice alternatives to February's usual red-and-pink-and-hearts overdose. I think the colour palate is designed around this year's Pantone color of the year, Marsala.

I'm wearing the new skin from Lara Hurley, this is the first of her skins I've tried and it's a bit less pale than I've become accustomed to but it's really so very pretty in the face. 

So here we are both wearing the Plaid Heart dress by Katat0nik at Collabor88, and the two beautiful hairs Clawtooth has out, on me Yvette, and on Persephone, Erica, which has bangs. Perse is also rocking the full set of silentsparrow's Forest Love barettes which I gave a preview of a few posts ago. We're also wearing the Yummy's Best Friends necklaces because we're secretly in middle school.

I've also got on the knee socks by Atomic, which are system or appliers, with mesh tops, and Fri.day's Marsali flats, while Perse is wearing Ingenue's Cecily flats. 

Behind us is a couple of silentsparrow's Hunter's Kiss artworks, which are also available as stunning necklaces by Schadenfreude at Collabor88. It's been a good haul.

Starting tomorrow, I am going to be away from home for almost two months. I'll have my laptop, but it's not nearly as nice as my desktop, so while I will be able to be in SL and even blog some, my pictures are likely to be a bit um...worse. So I figured I should make the effort to be a bit more grown-up for this post.

It was tough to stop running around as a kid, so I needed to shock myself out of with by being all sexy, that's what's happening here, and also, here (nsfw) - kind of jarring, I know, but there's a whole slew of sexy events going on right now.

ROMP's Fresh spin-off event is one of these, showcasing a softer, more delicate side of kink. The Capture Me bed by Frogstar is from that event, shown here in the dark wood "Deviant" variant, but also in keeping with Fresh's theme, there is also an "Angel" version with light wood and white sheets. The bed itself is big enough for a small orgy, is loaded with Adult animations and cuddles, and rather importantly, incorporates a lockable cage for those who aren't allowed to play right now.

My Yes, Mistress eyemakeup by The Wicked Peach is also from Fresh, and has variations with either gold or silver liner on the lower lid.

My dress is by Insanya at the Burlesque event which is also going on right now. It comes in 8 lovely colours and a variety of sizes outside of the Standard. The skirt is very short in front and a little longer in the back, and the dress has a lovely bow on the back, and it makes me feel like a disreputable saloon girl.

My shoes are from one of Ducknipple's latest bargain SLX outfits, Brussel. The full outfit comes with a texture-change bustier, skirt, jewelry and these hot shoes, currently available for a promo price of only 100L$!

My usual red hair looked a bit heavy with this look, so I reverted my hair by Magika to its traditional out-of-the-box pale pink, which I must say, I really really like.

Told you you'd be seeing that hair on me again! The gigantic box comes with it and is colour-change too!

I've been scampering around as a kid quite a lot this week. It's fun and frolicky. I've even considered getting myself adopted. I went over to Heritage Adoption Agency to look around and then someone started talking to me and I got scared and ran away. So maybe I'm not ready yet. Baby steps, I guess.

Most of what I'm wearing today is from the Woodlands gacha event. I played the Funkee Monkees machine so much trying to get this particular shirt - cloud shirts are kind of my jam! The skirt is part of an outfit by A Dash of Dulce which is really cute and comes with a bunch of accessories and things.

The socks, and leggings underneath, are from the Kawaii gacha by Purretes at Woodlands, and so too is my big fancy ring-pop ring, which is so sparkly with an animated texture. I got loads of cool stuff from that machine, bows, hair clips, a tutu, lots of cool stuff. My shoes are the Rare from the Turducken machine there, and the reason I went in the first place!

Also, this gummy bear lamp by BAMSE which is AS BIG AS ME!

The excellent Leaf on the Wind fundraiser (which I blogged here) event ended a couple of days ago, culminating in the Million Linden Party, during the course of which, the fundraiser's ultimate total of one million L$ was reached, plus a few, for a full total of L$1,018,699. This money will go to the amazing and sweet Scarlet Chandaryan of Alouette, for her bucket-list trip to London (and maybe a little over for Disneyland Paris!). I went to said party, and had a wonderful time hanging out with assorted wonderful people I know from Plurk and this is more or less what I wore:

First I have to talk about this hair, because omg. This hair. I QUESTED for this hair. It all started innocently enough when I was doing Fifty Linden Friday Kids, on Friday, and one store I was at also had a yardsale, which, being a compulsive sort of person, of course I checked out. There was a boxed hair without a picture, so I googled it, and INSTANTLY FELL IN LOVE. Alas, the hair in the yardsale was not my colour. So I took to the Marketplace, which is my sekrit weapon for getting gacha stuff. The "Used Items" category there often yeilds what I'm looking for before I have to start schlepping all over the yardsales. this time though, it let me down, and so the schlepping commenced. I like to find my yardsales by simply typing into search the name of the item I'm looking for. I guess there's something in the Search that indexes objects that are there in the area or something? Because quite often it works very well, especially on more obscure items. And via this method, I found copies of the hair in colours to suit both Persephone Paine and hyasynth Tiramisu, and gifted them accordingly, because ugh, omg, this hair - and both of them tried to help me find it. So good. But nothing in my colour, anywhere. I was trying different variations of my search terms, and just finding myself at the same locations over and over, I tried at the mainstore, I tried searching for the event it had been in (and I'd shopped that event! I remember it! TAG gacha! How did I miss this hair?!), I teleported around for hours looking for this damn hair. Eventually, as can be surmised by me wearing the hair, I found a sale which had it, and for a great low price, and then, when I started looking around that sale, found another vendor also had it, twice, for 10L less than I had paid for it too! So yeah. I really like this hair. You'll be seeing it again on me. 

As for the rest of my outfit: The top is an Omega applier by Arise, from Fi*Fridays, the skirt by Gato from the most recent round of My Attic, which you've just missed, I'm sorry I'm lazy and don't post things when I intend to! I'm also sorry (but totally not sorry) that I wear this lipstick by Nox so much. But it's amazing, with the gold cupid's bow and sheer but bold colour. I think this is my third time wearing it for a post now. But always different colours, because I'm cool. 

My tattoos I've actually also worn before on this blog, but previously only one sleeve. That's a feature that I miss from the Slink Physique body that the Maitreya Lara doesn't have. The ability to wear individual arms of a tattoo - or omit them entirely! My bag is by Ane and was at Leaf on the Wind, and my boots are sn@tch, from one of their amazing Fish For This outfits, but are available separately too. 

Finally for my decor, what could be more stereotypically British (when celebrating an event for a trip to London) than tea? Well tons of things, WE'RE ABOUT MORE THAN THE TEA, YOU KNOW. But anyway I've never had an excuse before to use these lovely Tres Blah Tea Time bits and pieces from some Arcades back. Yardsales, yo.
