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!

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.

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!
