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.

THE UNLUCKY ONE

The Wizarding Faire has been great fun. I don't even mind how much moolah I spent, it was just lovely! Beetlebones has a lovely Frog and Toad gacha, and Silentsparrow brought us several varieties of Newts. I have several adorable new pets. And one that isn't adorable at all.



I thought I was pretty lucky to receive a Rare frog out of the Beetlebones gacha, but apparently the Surinam Pipa toad is considered Unlucky. It certainly is weird. Even gross ... I read about them on Wikipedia. There are baby toads embedded in their Mother's back. Eww.



And several beautiful Hogwarts-themed props. I couldn't resist the Quidditch set and some Charms textbooks. Three of the little books are flying around!

THE ICE CREAM SUIT

If you must, pretend for a moment that I am south of the equator, where it is spring. I am wearing white after Labor Day, and loving the crisp crease on the back of these trousers.



The orange lipstick is a nod to October. Also I pulled the lever on Helena Stringer's vendor at the Fantasy Gacha Festival, and these creepy peepers are what came out!



Good thing grape and licorice ice cream don't stain.

RETRO CHILD

Thinking back and enjoying the retro chic. I found this Schadenfreude dress at Collabor88 and I bopped over to the Artilleri sim to take pics with the retro houses. Takes me waaaay back.



When I purchased this dress I was planning to put together a sophisticated look with a patent purse and high heels, but then I noticed that in addition to the usual standard mesh sizes, the package included a childrens' sized dress, less curvaceous and a little longer than the womens' sizes. The childrens' size is the one I am wearing because I like the idea. :D There are also a couple of experimental versions that deform to your shape if you are using a particular test viewer, ... I haven't tried those yet. That will be nice for the non- 'standard' avatar shapes. I'm thinking of you, Khitten Kurka.



Dress: Schadenfreude "Downing Color Field Dress" (mesh)(Collabor88)
Shoes: Grasp "Summer Slippers" (group gift)
Doll: katatOnik "Heart Milk Doll" (gacha)
Hair: Deco "Mesh Hers Pigtails" (last 50L Friday)

CINNAMON

I don't normally purchase "couture" but made an exception for another dress at Kunglers. In particular the square belt buckles and pleated waist tickled my fancy.

This new Beetlebones preview skin is available at the Collabor88 venue. I tried it on a pouty shape and found myself looking oriental. There is a bit of a seam showing on the neck under my chin, but its placement suggests a shadow perhaps. I still like it at the price, but please try on the Demo.

... I indulged myself with more booN hair again: I love the unique design of all their work, but lately Mister Boon seems to be cutting loose with very wispy, organic, assymetrical styles that make me happy even more than usual. :D

I added squared earrings and shoe buckles to reflect the geometric feel of the belt. I think they balance the ruffles and sequins, make the outfit more modern.

Dress: Kunglers Couture “Leilah Honey”
Earrings: Addiction “Love Letter Pearl”
Shoes: SLink “Aveela Stilletto” (w/texture change HUD)
Hair: booN “WMO003”
Hairbases: by booN and Tiny Bird (unavailable)
Skin: Beetlebones “Karina” (Collabor88 preview special for L$88)
