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!

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!

My back hurts from playing too much Just Dance. That is the current full truth of my life. It's sad. 

This outfit contains no elements of what I had intended to wear except for the hair. It's one of those things where I was like "well I'll just change that.....and now this bit looks weird...." and so on. I'm leaning too heavily on yellows and purples lately. It's okay though. I dig yellow.

Okay so, my top is from the SLX outfit "Pawned". Ducknipple's SLX outfits which I have been featuring pieces from lately really are excellent value for money. The outfit currently has a promo price of 100L and for that you get this top (which comes in 5 color change options with a HUD), shorts, boots, and jewelry. 

With it I'm wearing Insanya's Ruffle Tutu, which has become a bit of a staple of my wardrobe. It's absurdly short, which in part is what makes it so versatile along with the wide range of colours and patterns it's available in, but the fact remains it is absurdly short. Luckily, so am I, and I have the good fortune to have tights. I've featured these before on my blog, they're by Schadenfreude, and one of the things I particularly love about them is that there are options about the height of the waistband - a lot of other tights I tried showed over the top of this skirt. 

Also by Schadenfreude in this post is my parasol, from the current round of The Seasons Story, and my bracelet, from this round of Collabor88, because I can never wear too much Schadenfreude. 

On the table next to me is a donation item from Xiasumi School Festival, with the proceeds going towards Save the Children: Japan Tsunami Relief. It's by silent sparrow and is adorable spooky-cute ghost-shaped daifuku mochi, which is a snack I love so very much. There's scripted holdable versions and mouthie versions and the tray gives you them and it's awesome.

Dude, I have totally forgotten how I do all of this. I used to have this whole like, routine, a groove I'd gotten into. That'll teach me go on extended vacations. 

So please bear with me if my pictures are kind of crap and my writeups are rambly as hell for the next few posts. I'll soon be back to my usual type of crap and rambles!

So here I am wearing things. I left my avatar in the same one thing for the last month, and it was a nice outfit but it was starting to smell, quite frankly, so it'll likely never see the light of day here, alas.

Here what I'm wearing starts with the gorgeous highwaisted "Melody" mermaid skirt by Noodles, which was in last month's round of We <3 Role-Play. Melody, for those of you who are somehow not Disney nerds, is the name of Ariel's daughter, you know. I totally met Ariel when I was away on my trip, and my face was the biggest, reddest, shiniest most excited thing that ever existed ever. So this skirt is completely 100% relevant to my feels and vacation memories and so on!

Although there is an amazing bralette top by Noodles that matches the skirt, I'm wearing Sn@tch's super dainty Tawny Floral Top, which is at once both demure and sexy. This top is on an applier for the Slink Physique I am back in love with, but an exciting change which has come about at Sn@tch while I've been gone is that Ivey has stopped selling things by size, instead offering all the standard sizes in one pack, with a choice of Copy or Transfer permissions. This is fantastic for me, since I tend to fall between sizes quite a lot, I'm so glad for it.

I'm cradling one of the unbelievably adorable Baby Kitsunes by Schadenfreude from her gacha on the Supernatural level of this round of Xiasumi School Festival. The faces on these things. I squealed so damn hard. And and their little feet twitch in their sleep, and their tails, these things are ABSURD in their cuteness.

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!
