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!

My family's been off on a lovely camping trip, my daddy did such a nice job decorating the campsite, so I wanted to take some pictures here. Trying to get a bit less studio-based, but it's haaarrrrd worrrrk, man. 

My whole outfit today is by Kylee's Place, at the newest round of Kid to Kid, the sweater and boots have like, a billion color-change options in a HUD, and the fox graphic is adorable. 

The superfun hair I'm wearing is by Doe at The Seasons Story, I really like Doe's unrigged hair for my TD, they have a lot of quite innovative styles. On my wrist, pride and joy, Noodles Slider Bracelet from The Epiphany gacha event, which I have completed in both Gold and Silver, including the fancy points prize charm for it. They don't show up well in the pictures, but I'm wearing some properly cute earrings by Rigby at Hello Beautiful.

I wanna take a sec to explain about the pile of things I wear on my face now. It's weirdly convoluted. I recently started wearing the skin I wear on my Big, which is Pink Fuel Harley in Porcelain, mostly because it's fairer than the Pink Fuel Doll skin I'd been wearing before. However, I prefer Doll's mouth for being a kid. So, on a tattoo layer, I'm wearing the "neutral lip + blush remove" layer, which is really intended as a makeup remover for Doll. It's not a perfect match around the mouth, but you really only see that if you know and you're looking close. So don't look close. 

I'm boosting my cute with PF Harley's Button Nose + Freckles tattoo along with my traditional Pekka Star Freckles, but the other big adaptation I've made to this skin by taking advantage of tattoo layers is at the eyes. Harley generally has some eyeliner, and after some searching, I found a layer by Des Lunes intended for use by kid avatars, which hides unwanted eyeliner, and is tintable for a good match. However for me, this took away a certain amount of definition I wanted, SO I put eyeliner ON TOP OF THE EYELINER REMOVER. Because I can. It's by Tuli and also tintable and very very subtle, but offers just exactly the level of defintion I was looking for. Oh and then my friend decided I looked too pale, and so she gave me her personal cheek blush, hah!

And that's what skin I'm wearing >.>

Gosh, what sorcery is this, me blogging twice in the space of a week? I know, I've gotten out of my stride a bit. Partly because I haven't stayed dressed long enough to get attached to any outfit, which is honestly in fact less sexy than it sounds. Sorry.

One thing I keep coming back to when getting dressed is these shorts, by Addams at Collabor88. I got the fatpack and omg so many options. Colors of the shorts, the turnups, options to show and hide and texture the pockets, lots of options for the belt, and sizes and fits for all kinds of mesh bodies. The top is rather older and from Sn@tch, and goes really very well I think. 

My stunning rose tattoo is a prize from Tenjin on the upcoming Body Art Hunt, expect to see more about this is upcoming posts. I love how elegant and pretty and twirly it is all draped across the collarbone like a necklace. 

Look at my pretty kitty shades! They're by Atooly on the fun new event called Mix. The point in Mix is to get people into mainstores a bit more, and as the name suggests, it's a mix of things, there's are three categories of thing - Sale, New, and Exclusive, and there's a color-coded HUD that teleports you around. My gorgeous shoes are by Lassitude & Ennui for Mix too, they have such a beautiful light floral texture and drapey bows on the back <3

The case I'm holding is no ordinary little case! It's by Little Llama and is an art case! The exterior is color-change to Camp Hardknock cabin colors, and the rezzable version contains drawing animations and selectable original artwork by ME! Also some others, and also you can add your own. But what's also awesome is, for right now, it's free! :D

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!

Yesterday I made this: http://www.fivehearthome.com/2015/01/15/snickerdoodle-mug-cake/ and it was wonderful, I suggest you do likewise. Because I was so full of cinnamon sugar and butter, that is why I didn't get this post done yesterday like I had intended to. So like, sry.

The top I'm wearing today was something I couldn't resist from the last round of Genre, which was Rockabilly. It isn't anymore, sorry, this round is Anime. But last round was Rockabilly and I got this awesome tie-top by Goth1c0 there. You can only really see it properly in my headshot this post because DAAAAAAAMN the ass on these jeans, by Addams, from the current round of Kustom9. 

I faatpacked them because I love the shape so much, but also worthy of much note is that the three sections there are all mix and match to great effect. Not shown here, there is also an attached belt with a skull buckle that can be changed all sorts of ways, or hidden, as I have done here.

My hair is by Doe (formerly Ploom) at the Fantasy Gacha Carnival, it's one of two variations of this particular style, and I love that it lets me do my streaky-thang where I'm too chicken to go all blonde. The roses and headband are texture change too, and the other version has a veil! Very elegant.

Originally I was wearing different shoes with this, but then I saw these by 20.five and was all like !!!!!!! because look at them all laced up like that, they are so very sexy. The lacing can be changed to one of five colours too, which is a nice bonus. 

My tattoo is by Insanya, who has been working tirelessly to update their older stock to the current appliers. Seriously, with all the various parts out there these days, that is no small task, and I really appreciate the work put in, because this tattoo, I do love, and have actually featured on this blog before in its old System state, back in the day, and so on. (the "day" was actually less than a year ago, but that's 12 years in SL time)

And I'm not wearing lashes, because I rather like the effect this liner gives without them. It's dramatic and tired at the same time. Just like me.
