How about a mouse-ears headband made of donuts?



The fortune cookie purse is just adorable, and the fortunes printed on the strap change on touch to ten different sweet platitudes.

LOLITA

This month's installment at the Genre venue is "Lolita" themed and I am loving it, so I am bringing you a sample: this outfit by Senzafine and hair Curio Obscura is black and blacker. But most of the Loli-inspired outfits are also available in lighter and happier colors. The theme is called "Cotton Candy Dreams" if that gives you an idea of the color scheme.



The Curio Obscura hair is texture change to a buncha colors and comes in this version, and another with hairbows. I am loving the ringlets but if you prefer thicker curls, another version of this wig is available at Hair Fair. One of my favorite booths this year at Hair Fair!!



The dress is mesh with a HUD that changes to textures to two shades of black. I like the lighter version, cause it's easier to see all the lace and frills.

Dress: Senzafine "Berenice" (at Genre)
Gloves and Stockings: Bubble "Floral Corset Gloves and Socks"
Boots: Lassitude and Ennui "Nostalgia"
Hair: Curio Obscura "Long Gothic Spirals Pigtails" (at Genre)
Skin: Essences "Cho"
Eyes: Ikon "Ardent"
Fingernails: Bamboo Nails (w/ HUD to change texture, hand size and nail length)
Lashes: LeLutka "Photoshoot II"

RETURN TO INNSMOUTH

Well I figured if I was going to blog clothing with tentacles, I had to set up camera in Innsmouth. I haven't visited there for a while, and I'm happy to say that this happy little tourist spot has improved its ambiance since my last overnighter! Here's my first shot with a friendly native New Englander, we just met but it seems like we've been friends forever!



I couldn't resist an extra shot of their quaint old-timey seaport ...



I've been collecting these tentacle bits from Silentsparrow and Schadenfreude for a while, the collaborative vest and stockings have recently appeared at Fifty Linden Fridays. I thought this gorgeous Deco hair went with my antennae just perfectly. Really! Just don't miss the Deco booth at Hair Fair. I wanted to buy it all, but settled for a fatpack of this coif. (This odd angle I photographed just to show the hair from the side.)



Had to add a little nose-sushi. Actually this Nose Ring is a group gift from Epic, which color changes, but in green it looks like a little bit of something evil is escaping my sinuses. Eww.

Vest: Schadenfreude "Green Tentacle Deep V Vest" (past 50L Friday)

AISLIN

I think that our love of Summer is not so much that we adore baking in hundred degree temperatures, but more that we love the feeling of summer abundance, flowers and fruit and fertility that will fade in Autumn. Summer florals are perfectly apropos. Another lovely dress from Ms. Jones, HUD driven to change to six colors.



And the perfect companion piece from Kunglers, this color of her necklace was a fundraiser for Relay for Life, but other colors are still available. Perfection.



Dress: LIV-Glam "Aislin"
Necklace: Kunglers "Maracuja" (RFL Version)
Shoes: Lassitude and Ennui "Boudoir Mules" (texture change HUD)
Hair: Exile "Miu"
Skin: Essences "Whisper"

Lashes: LeLutka "Photoshoot II"
Poses: by Dare (vintage) and Del May

VACATION

Just a quickie today, you know in the summertime the kids need entertaining but I am in SL here and there to shop and to feed the horses. I took a little break on the beach too, inspired by the little vintage swimsuit Senzafine put out at the Flux "Americana" event.



Aaaaah. Vitamin D!



Lifeguard Chair: Kari and Olive Juice made this little beauty!
Swimsuit: Senzafine "Martha Vintage Bathing Suit" (@ Flux)
Eyelids: SLink "Mesh Eyelids"

PARADE READY!

Does anyone out there know the difference between a Sousaphone and a Tuba? Sorry, but I was every other kind of geek, but not a band geek. In any event, I am ready for the Independence Day parade on Thursday. Fortunately my instrument is scripted to play by itself, since I never had any lessons. When I spotted the skateboard I thought it must be better than walking in the 104 degree heat predicted for July Fourth. Sweet!



I put together some red and blue out of pieces just released by LIV-Glam. I love that many of their inexpensive mesh garments come with texture change HUDs that let you pick from tons of colors. I immediately liked this jacket that drapes over your shoulders as if placed there by a considerate male companion. The pants have a lovely parade stripe made of metal studs.



For fun I added the big collar from Coco's Bow shirt. I wanted to mention that she will soon be retiring many of her older sculpted pieces, and some real classic favorites that still wear very well are on sale for L$50 to 100. An opportunity you shouldn't miss!

Jacket: LIV Glam "Caldwell Linen Jacket" (texture change to a bazillion colors)
