Sporadic blogger here! Actually it's been less than a month since my last post, I'll pretend that's pretty good going. It's not, really. But, pretending is fun. 

So first of all this dress I am wearing, Krakken, by Vicarious Youth. It's at the Big Dreams For Big Kids event,  and uh, I'm not really supposed to be wearing it (it's sized for Regular Kids), but I squeezed my grownup-size bulk into it because I like it so much. So long as I alpha out my boobs and butt, it more or less works. YMMV, tho, because I don't have so much in the way of boobs and butt in the first place, if you're a curvy curvy lady, you might look a little odd with a completely flat chest. But it's an completely awesome dress, and comes in 4 color options AND also includes matching headband and sneakers, which I am not wearing here. 

Note that if you're reading this right now, RIGHT NOW, on the day of posting, Saturday September 3rd until 8PM SLT, it is the RL birthday of Violet Steamweaver, the owner of Vicarious Youth, and she's having a sale where everything in store is priced to her RL age, which as she has put it, is over 25 but under 50! (it's 37, everything is 37L) The store has stuff to fit Toddleedoo and Big Kid, and some stuff for adults too, so gogo fast and get some fantastic bargains! 

Also gogo fast because the shoes I'm wearing are from yesterday's 50L Friday at Ingenue and you might might still be able to grab them now, if you're reading this in the "now" timeframe mentioned in the previous paragraph. My hair, which helps cover the few places the dress doesn't look right with my Maitreya body, is the most recent from Magika and is called Five Minutes. 

Oh oh and, my tentacle baby who I'm taking for a little walkies here is from the Silentsparrow machine at The Arcade, full of various spookycute things, tentacle plants, mandrakes, little demons, spellbooks, all sorts of goodies, so do be sure to check those out. But first! Sale and shoes! Hurry!

lotd080816 - Pokemon OG

Like most of the universe, I have been playing Pokemon Go and having a lovely time at it. Three guesses what team I...well. Yeah. It's a given really. It's the most Hufflepuff of all the PoGo teams for sure! But I've been playing Pokemon almost since the start. ALMOST. My first was Pokemon Yellow, which ties in nicely with Instinct. I guess Gen 1.5, I've been playing since. On my I think Pokemon Y Black 2 card, I've got a full living Pokedex, all 650 pokemon who existed up to that point, transferred painstakingly from games going back to the era of GameBoy Advance. 

I'm pretty cool. (this is a lie)

So, onto what I'm wearing here! My t-shirt is one I actually have in RL, albeit in a rather more form-fitting size. It (the SL version) is from Vicarious Youth, upon whom I became somewhat dependent in the period I was an SMB-sized child, but for a lot of her stuff she actually offers a LOT of sizes, for instance this baggy tee includes standard sizes for male and female adults, big kids, and toddleedoo kids. It's a really nice comfortable fit. 

The majority of my accessories here are from a gacha by Astralia at the Manga Fair 2016, which features pokedex thingies, visors, belts, pokeballs and so on, in all the team colors plus Jigglypuff pink, and some rather fantastic Rare backpacks. 

My boots are by Schadenfreude, and are actually rather festive snowboots, but I felt like they served me better for the idea of hiking around a forest hunting Pokemon than the high heeled sandals I was wearing before!

Still alive! I'm sure nobody was actually concerned but here's a reassurance anyway, I live, and if my outfit is anything to go by, so does grunge.

First off though, I am so very excited about the newest version of Firestorm, which includes all sorts of good things, but particularly the new Layer Limits which allows you instead of, 5 jackets, 5 alphas, 5 socks, and so on, a total of 60 of any combination of system clothing layer. For us mesh body wearers, what this means is, ALL THE MAKEUP, since we're basically otherwise just wearing like, an alpha or two. Sooo the effect is a bit subtle but I have PILED on the auxiliary face tattoos. I've got extra moles, and a thing that makes my nose more buttony, and TWOOOOO eyemakeups, and a lipstick AND a shader to make my open mouth look more natural. AND THAT'S JUST THE BEGINNING. Seriously I am mad excited about this.

I ended up dressing like a moody teen from getting dressed around my SL mom, Christa Echos. This put me in an understandably rebellious mood, and then we went to Kustom9, which, idk if this was official or planned, but seemed to have a nice 90s grunge motif going on, and that's where I got the plaid shirt and cropped top combo by Amitomo, the tank includes a color-change HUD too. My hair by Olive and shorts by Monso are from where we went next, Shiny Shabby, and were serious must-have items.

My boots I have actually featured before, by Bubble, and are appropriately called My Fav Boots.

Busy busy busy busy! 

You know, Hair Fair starts on the 11th? I won't be making my customary post(s) about it until the week after next though, because I'm going to Camp Hardknock in SL, on my adorable kid avatar. I had hoped to ease into this change with some posts of her, but instead, flailing and panic occurs because there are not enough hours in the day! 

Also coming so soon because it's an exciting week, Wizarding Faire! Opening July 12th. I am a massive Harry Potter fan, longtime readers (who am I kidding?) of my blog might remember my posts on the Wizarding Fair a couple of years ago, I am a Hufflepuff and I ain't even sorry. I love to decorate my house in SL with little hints about my being magical, a cauldron of potion on my stove, a stack of spellbooks as a monitor stand, and so on, so these things here from various creators at the event will my heart with ALL the joy because none of them are like "I am a thing from Harry Potter" and are more like "I am a thing magical people have" and I dig that. The plants, by the way, are amazingly animated, they are so much fun and have earned a permanent place in my home <3

This wand isn't really mine though. Mine is larch wood with a phoenix feather core.

The awesome-creepy Furby tattoo on my thigh is from the Body Art Hunt and is by Operate Bodyshop, and so it deserves a lack of pants, as suggested by my shirt by Oaken at IDK this month which you JUST have time to shop if you hurry!
