So yesterday, June 26th 2015, the Supreme Court in America ruled that same-sex marriages are legal and allowed and good all over the USA! You might have heard of this little newslet. Now, if you think this is a bad thing, I need to ask you now to go away and come back another day, because I'm sure you have your reasons but we are not going to agree on this matter and I don't want to fight you. Anyway, I am overjoyed. I am a bisexual woman married to a man and same-sex marriage has been legal in my country for some years now, but for all my friends who this directly affects, and for everyone I don't know who finally have the rights to live the life with their loved ones that they deserve, and just for what it represents for America overall - I am so so happy with this decision. Love is Love. 

I am also happy because on a completely un-sociological standpoint, I really really like rainbows a whole lot. Yay!

Most of my outfit here is in one piece, the shorts, tank and vest are the Clarce set, by Ducknipple. Each part of the outfit is color change via a HUD, so it can be mixed up in all sorts of ways. Under this, I have the Ripped Lace Leggings by Insanya, newly available on appliers and AMAZING for creating layered looks, with lots of options concerning the existence of underwear and color combinations and all sorts of good things. 

My shoes are from Katat0nik's machine at this round of The Arcade, which you have like 2 more days to check out, if you've been under a rock or something. These are the hyasynth version, which according to appearances earlier, I stole off her very feet. My hair is new by Olive at N21 and the flowers that go with it are so pretty and so color change <3 

Oh you can't really see it well but in the first picture there I'm holding a rainbow notepad - this is a group gift to celebrate from RC Cluster, you should go get it, it's lovely and when you click on it you can write in it, and writing stuff down is awesome!

A few weeks back, before this round of Arcade started, I was hitting up all the yardsales because I'd just discovered D-Lab's incredible Piccoli set from March's Arcade round. Don't judge, I was on vay-cay throughout March. Anyway I'd seen them on hya's platform and was like :O when I saw they little dude interact with two things, and I resolved to get LOTS OF THEM. Which I did. And they're all set up in a hidden location at the bottom of my garden and are lovely. Then this round happened, and the D-lab's Pippip birds. I am doomed. My little red friend here flies from tree to ladder and all points between, and there so many points between in my inventory waiting for me to set them up.

You might notice my hair is looking unusually natural today, that is because I bought the wrong pack of Olive's Powder hair at Uber, and the streaks are more reds, but ugh LOOK how beautifully it blends in, it's like, really really natural, I love it, and the shape of this hair at the back - it just falls like natural long hair, into wispy wavy bits, it's really really well done. It makes me miss my RL really long hair but then mine never looked as good at this. 

The theme of this round's Uber event is India, and my tattoos by Identity are not from Uber, but I'm pretty sure I bought them directly after being at Uber, so it's like a indirect influencing thing I guess. I actually bought them while I was on my search for cute tattoos that I mentioned in my last post, and there are matching versions for the legs too which I'm not wearing right now. 

My dress is by Oaken for Collabor88, I adore the neckline of it and the tightness of the top versus the open-sided skirt, it's got a certain timelessness to it and seems very comfy and casual to wear, I almost didn't wear shoes with it, But then I did, these are by Livalle and I've had them for a while but they're a nice classic shoe.

I had a birthday the other day! I got a new computer for it! It's nice, I pushed my old one too hard really, but the shadows on this one are crisper anyway, so that's cool. Anyway when it was my birthday there was a nice little beach party for me and here's what I wore to it and subsequently the next 3 days because I've been busy/procrastinatingy. Also because it's rad to run around in a bikini when you look this good.

The bikini itself is soooo cute and by Bubble, released last year but still so cute for this summer, especially if you never got that Rare Zaara bikini from Arcade. I actually totally did, but I didn't want to be a cliche. I needed REALLY cute tattoos to go with it though, and after asking around, settled on these Sailor Moon themed ones from Antielle, which tick all kinds of boxes, being colourful and cute, available in various levels of fadedness, and still being kind of badass. Very happy with them indeed. 

While I didn't wear the infamous Arcade bikini, my hair is from this round of Arcade, by Spellbound, and is lovely, the scarfy bit hangs down at the back nicely, and the other version of it in the machine has a lovely big bow at the front, and each pack comes with looooads of hair colours AND band patterns. Also from Arcade, the towel rack, by Snips & Snails, which after this picture is going next to my rooftop pool. The pool noodles right next to me are from a different gacha machine, at The Play Room, the McKids machine there has a big pop-up pool with great animations in it as the Rare, so I ended up with a whoooole lot of noodles.

My shoes are by Ducknipple and are admittedly a little precarious for the beach, but for tottering around SL in a bikini, perfect! As ever, they include a color-change hud with like, 12 options in it for good matching. My nails are by Alaska Metropolitan who continues to be some of the best value in SL with the whole pack being 25L for so many nice designs and colors for so many different nail appliers.

My crowning achievement over the last few days is getting all of the Tres Blah and Second Spaces sets from this round of Arcade (barring the Rares, because I don't need that noise) and cramming them all together on my dressing table (actually some of it is scattered around the rest of my bedroom, but there's quite enough to cram). So proud that I've taken my life into my hands and gathered it all up to take to my photo studio because my bedroom is a little too chaotic for photography. I really don't like moving No Copy things in a big pile like this. So wish me luck when it's time to put it back.

The vanity table itself is actually an edited version of one I got from Wimey a while ago and doesn't seem to be available anymore, I dragged it around to make it deeper and wider, tinted it a bit and re-angled the mirror, to accommodate all my goodies. What I love about it is its proper shabby chic look all scuffed up and a bit grubby in a believable way like as if I use it all the time. 

Now, while I was scouring the yardsale for my cosmetics haul, I wore this satin kimono by Oaken, I side-brand of Noodles. Um, when I say I wore it, turns out I wore only it. I didn't discover this until the next day when I logged in. So oops. Anyone at those yardsales, you're welcome. Still it was a good look, I love the texture of this, so sensual and touchable and nice. It's available in four packs, each with six textures at FaMESHed. 

So as not to be obscene, I've paired it with these flower lace leggings by Insanya, another of their excellent applier conversions, which I really appreciate. It's great to be able to wear these old favourites on the Maitreya body like this. So as to be more sexy, I've worn these wonderful shoes by Ducknipple for Slink High feet. The Lissa heels come with 12 colours options in the HUD, I've gone with a nice dark purple here to contrast the eyemakeup I did a really poor job of capturing in my pics. 

If I sucked less and you could see it: it's an awesome black kohl eyeliner with big gold wings, by Weaponized Sugar at one of the events I'm excited to be covering for Seraphim, The Makeover Room. 

Oh also, I want to talk about this necklace for a minute! Everyone's going crazy wanting the bikini from Zaara's arcade machine, but nobody is talking about how amazingly this necklace fits! Yeah, I set my ambitions low, it's true, but srsly. For some reason usually I have to move and rotate necklaces, I have no idea why. But this? Look how it drapes on my boobs. It's perfect! Yay!

It's been an exciting week for me! I've joined the team of Seraphim, those lovely angels who cover the events, now one of them is me, go figure! So that's been a lot of work, getting familiar with how things are done and so on. It's fun though, and rewarding. And I've ordered a new PC for my birthday, which is very yaysy! Also, we got a hosepipe in RL. It's the little things that delight me. Sorry, I'm lame. And my blog got a new layout and now it looks less ungood! Which you can see, unless you're reading this via a feed, in which case, click through, my blog got a new layout, now it looks less ungood! :D

You know what isn't lame? The Arcade. Which you might have heard of maybe. Anyway nearly everything in this post is from the June round of The Arcade, there's so much lovely and I've barely even scratched the surface - I've trawled the early yardsales, that's it. 

So you might notice I'm looking a little on the tan side. Pink Fuel's skin in Arcade, Elsie, is GORGEOUS, so fresh and cute. But it only comes in a new tone, Biscuit, which is something like 5 shades darker than my beloved Porcelain. But it's sooo pretty. So so pretty. So we'll pretend I've been out in the sun. In my swimsuit, from Flowey! The Betty swimsuit comes in 12 colours but I like this one best because the colours remind me of the first Malibu Barbie, which I saw in a book about collectible Barbies which I used to be obsessed with. It's actually not at all similar, but it's what it triggers in my head and I like that!

I have two friends with me, from Schadenfreude and silentsparrow. When I first saw Schadenfreude's Kiwis, I screamed at Allegory "KIWIFRUIT BEARS" and then felt stupid because I hadn't meant to say bears. I had meant to say kiwifruit though because sometimes it's fun to be dumb. So I compromised and now shall call them kiwifruit bear birds. It's okay. They're adorable, they can take it. 

Silentsparrow's ridiculously loveable Catkins have some of the friendliest faces I have ever seen, and the majority of them are based on in some way the real cats of various people in SL and Plurk who hyasynth knows. I don't have a cat in RL, so I don't get that honour. It's sad. But not these guys! Except the Grumpy Rare. I assume he's sometimes sad.

Ooh and guys look at my haiiiirrr. It's from the Olive gacha, which isn't just hair this round but a whole sleepy set of furnitures, but this is the most perfect bedhead, look at it, loooook at iiiiit, and that little wisp at the top. It's so very nice. 

And my shoes! YumYums is closing and having a big sale, and as part of that, their gachas are all 25L, and so I got the shoes and here they are and I love them.
