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.

Busy day today - various things commencing and whatnot. I started my day in SL by starting the exciting new Wayward Hunt, which is a rebranding of the venerable Zombie Popcorn event group, but it turned out I'd jumped the gun, since it didn't actually start until 1pm SLT, and here I was excitedly running around at like, 5am or something. Stupid timezones. So I plan on picking that up again after I've finished this post, since there's some cracking stores along that trail.

Instead of that, I did the also just-started-today TAG Gacha thingy, which combines the hopping from store to store nature of a hunt with the wallet drainingness of a gacha event! Um but I made it sound much less fun than it is. You wear a HUD and it teleports you to each shop and you click the thing there to show you've been there, and then there's a gacha machine you can optionally play and in each machine you have the chance to win a Rare ticket for a special prize at the end! Phew! The theme for this round is circus sideshow and there's plenty of creepy cute greatest show on earth stuff to play for along the way! 

It's where I met my little friend(s) here, Sai-Khwa, the two-headed monster of Thailand! Lassitude & Ennui's machine is packed full of a circus of cute and special cats, all of whom have their own little story, there's more to Sai-Khwa than meets the eye!

My shirt is by Offbeat at Xiasumi School Festival and I liked it because the ink blot looked like Mickey Mouse. I bought it on hyasynth Tiramisu's recommendation and then I bought the pants she recommended too and then was for some reason startled today when I went to see her and we were dressed the same-ish. On the one hand, I should probably be more original, on the other hand, I could have a much worse occasional stylist than her.

My awesome hair is by Olive at The Kawaii Project. I remember a few years ago, just before mesh was a thing, streaked hair was all over the place and I loved it, throwing a blonde streak all up in there. It's rarer now but I always jump on it when it's an option. My eye makeup is gorgeously layered and by Wicked Peach at Black Fashion Fair which also opened today because today is apparently epic. 

Oh, and my poster is by Frogstar at The End, a post-apocalyptic event which didn't open epic-today, but yesterday, which is close enough. The numbers on the poster can be changed. I chose 626 because of reasons, and if you can guess my reasons, you can be my friend!
