I MUSTACHE YOU A QUESTION

Do you like moustaches? I found two moustache-themed bits hanging in my bloggity folder and an idea for an outfit was born. Lassitude and Ennui's dress and the cream-colored stockings are new over at Collabor88. Sorry but the moustache tights are no longer available, I picked them up on clearance and they're gone. But they are still cute right? *happydance*



The "Salt and Pepper" skins are a little different from Inka Mexicola's usual, I look so red-eyed and desolate!  Also included, reddened cheeks and tears tattoos. Find them at the Creepy Kawaii event. I was also tempted by the cute dress with the eyeballs, but come on I have so many of those already! :D Some purple lipstick and off we go! Packs of yummy lipsticks are appearing at Essences that match several of the newer skins.

LUCRETIA

So many beautiful things as Gothmas that I'm not sure I can show you all my favorites before the event closes! Today I wanted to bring you something that is neither goth nor Christmassy, but rather something perhaps for a dark Victorian fantasy.



Avatar Bizarre's purple frock isn't that dark, but I suppose you could style it that way if you like. I just wore it with some sweet birthstone jewels that VRD put into a little gacha. These eyes are intimidating aren't they? They come in a lovely rainbow of colors, at the Pin Me Down shop.

TAKE A WALK ON THE WILD SIDE

I suppose it's easier to be adventurous with print in Fantasyland. In real life, I doubt you will see me in a mix of animal print and lace. But maybe I should try it sometime? With antler pauldrons and a crown too, of course.



I really love this luminous new skin from Essences. "Alex" comes in a variety of skintones and cosmetics options in a sweet little gacha machine over at Kustom9. I need to show more, there are some really lovely makeups! Go check it out!



Finishing up with part of Atelier Visconti's newest furnishings available at the Liaison Collaborative. The set includes a chair and a coffee-table too, with texture-change HUDs to help you select from six colors each for the pillows and upholstery. I suggest that you go try out the poses to see if they work well for you. The furniture includes singles and couples poses.

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"

DARKFLOWER

Here's a cute little casual dress from Sassy, that I picked up at the Outlet Sales Room. Oh by the way, the Outlet Sales Room has moved to the Battlestar sim. If you are like me, you don't mind picking up a nice little bargain right?  ... I love this kind of old-fashioned lace.



And recently I started receiving review packs of nails from what I think is a newish nail store, called Bamboo Nails. I'll be honest, I put off unpacking them because I don't wear nails much. I guess I've got a bad attitude from past frustration with badly fitting nails. So I rather expected that I would try these nails on briefly and then feed them to the dog.

But actually several of the nail sets are really cute! They come with a nail HUD that lets you select from various polish colors, four nail lengths, and three hand sizes. The one drawback was that although they come with five different fingertip gloves (to cover the nail beds drawn on your skin), the gloves were not modifiable, so you can't tint them to match your skin. Once she fixes that, these will be very nice nail sets. For now, I borrowed the fingertip gloves from another nail set I already had.



Dress: Sassy! "Jubilee Dress"(The Outlet Sales Room)
Leggings: Dare "Lace Stockings" (unavailable)
Boots: Lassitude and Ennui "Wanderlust Oxblood" (yummy two-tome!)
Nails: Bamboo Nails "Satin Gold" (w/customization HUD)
Hair: Exile "Stay the Night"
Skin: Kooqla "Ojen"
Eyes: Ikon "Horizon"
Lashes: LeLutka "Photoshoot II"
Lipstick: Kooqla "Ojen Lips 03"

HUNTING AT TWILIGHT

The sun is on its way down, and I'm getting ready to go hunting. No, not hunting for prey, silly. Today I'd rather go hunting for clothes. And shoes.

I already found these. I love how the little silver studs on the shoes go with the subtle sequin shine on these slacks. But I love most how cute my little toes look with these little straps.

I think the black stretch outfit would be perfect for a hunter looking to blend with the dark. And also fashionable, dressed up with a few smart accessories. Sometimes I like to keep it simple.

Shirt: Aoharu "TurtleNeckKnit"
Pants: Plastik "Aeda Slacks" (subscriber gift)
Necklace and Earrings: LaGyo "Paisley Necklace and Earrings"
Ring: Alchemy Immortalis "Khepri's Carnelian Sun"
Shoes: Lassitude and Ennui "Nyrha Sandals" (mesh)(texture change HUD)
Hair: Truth "Jessie" (mesh)(group gift)
Skin: PXL "Kate Vampire" (group gift)
