MORE SWEETIES

I ran off to the Candy Fair for a couple more bits of sugar! There are so many cute things there including many tempting Gacha machines. I got the cookie earrings and necklace came from the Sweet Thing gacha. I wasn't lucky enough to get the mixer beaters but they look adorable.



Lassitude and Ennui has these pinwheel peppermint shoes in a whole smorgasbord of colors; you can have the more traditional red or pink if you like. The little button on the strap is a petite mint, see?

THE ECLECTIC TIME TRAVELLER

A little modern, a little Victorian, a little Kawaii, a little Steampunk. An unusual combination. Therefore, possibly a Time Traveller. Do you see an unused phone booth near in an odd location?



Of course a Tardis doesn't have to look like a phone booth. And maybe the Kitten is the real Traveller. It's hard to tell.

I JUST WANT TO BE A REAL GIRL

There is no clothes that I could buy
That could turn back the time

There is no vacation spot I could fly
That could bring back a piece of real life
Real life, what does it feel like?

I ask you tonight, I ask you tonight
What does it feel like? I ask you tonight
To live a real life?

I just want to be ...

Body: DOLLCOCO “Body(snow)” (Mesh)(gift)
Ears: DOLLCOCO “Gift_ElfEars” (Mesh) (gift)
Head: DOLLCOCO “Head(snow)_Emily” (Mesh)(also with closed eyes)
Hair: Alice Project “Amiya” (Mesh)
Outfit: Yabusaka “Mesh School Uniform” (Mesh)(also includes tights)
Poses: by Long Awkward Pose
Location: HappyMood
Lyrics: by Kanye West

This was a bit of experiment, trying to combine lots of mesh pieces by different makers, pieces that were not intended to be worn together. The Yabusaka outfit is meant to be worn on a Yabusaka dollie, not the Coco doll, so the pieces intersected oddly at the upper back. I wore long hair to cover it. The result is presentable but the thighs tend to stick through the skirt with more active animations. I don't care cause I love it anyway!! <3

NUTMEG

The weather is turning cooler and I'm so grateful. I put a wreath of colored leaves and pumpkins on my door, and I'm looking for sweaters and thicker socks. Maybe I'm going a little overboard with the layering.

The nutmeg and cinnamon and cloves are waiting for the mortar and pestle. But the pumpkin isn't in at the grocery quite yet.

Now I wanted to tell you about this MESH hair. It isn't my usual style. I like it because of how it is rigged to my head and shoulders. I chose poses that show how I can turn my head left and right, without the long bits going into my shoulders at all. The effect is a bit static, so they included an extra attachment with floaty flexi bits to make it flow more naturally. Of course the down side is that the wig can't be resized, or individual strands of hair adjusted. But it is well worth a look! <3
