HANGARS LIQUIDES

Wandering around Hangars Liquides at night is a little risky. I still can't believe I fell off that catwalk.

RAINY DAY

I'm in a rainy day mood, so even though this outfit looks like a bowl of sorbet in different lighting, the photos came out a little moody. I happened to still have this set of raincloud jewelry in my bloggity-box. I love how perfectly the necklace fits into the neckline of this sweet peplum jacket!

LIFE IS A SHOW

It's serendipitous how well these striped goods go together, considering they were all produced by different designers. I feel a little bit like a carnival candy-girl today. The cotton candy is cute! it must be licorice-flavored right? Yum.



Lassitude and Ennui has put out a set of Sideshow cats for the Gacha. A little different from her usual offerings, but that's OK! I'm a sucker for the cute pets. (These are decorations, not followers.)

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.

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.

Crown: ieQED "cache.crown.stag.copper" (gacha)

SIMPLE THINGS

I love the artistry in Second Life. I love it all: the beloved sims, the elaborate fantasies; but some of my favorites are just the small simple things, carefully done. A simple dress, unadorned except for a shy little ruffle; a single rose in plain newspaper; and a delicate strap heel, almost severe in its lack of ornament. Love them!

SHARKBAIT

Is it a dead giveaway that "Sharkbait" brings to mind a certain fishy fraternity in a Disney movie? Ahem. Well I thought the adorable shark bag works great for the beach, it comes in several other brighter colors too. The swimsuit and bag are both available over at Summerfest. Have you gone yet?

THAT'S MORE LIKE IT

Okay I still didn't get changed into my new swimsuit but I wanted to wear this dress first. It's from Bare Rose also includes a hat and an optional shoulder drape that I didn't wear cause, well it's the beach. I liked it with this up-do from Exile that you can still get at the Arcade Gacha for a couple more days. The package comes with two hairs and two pairs of glasses, all cute, what a great deal!

UNDER THE MOON

I love me some sparkly glitter. And Fantasy. Even in summertime. But I think next time this Fae might be spotted in swimwear and slurping up ice cream. Even fantasy creatures get hot in the summertime right? But for now, sparkly metallic gown with a metal collar that weighs eleven pounds.

ROSY

Just another week left to visit this installment of Collabor88, where did the time go? This collection of vintage-retro inspired goodies is perfectly delicious, if you haven't visited yet. One of my faves is this cinch-waisted party dress. I think these new shoes from Junbug complement the white shirt collar and belt. (Yes, I finally gave in and bought the SLink High Feet; honestly because I keep seeing such gorgeous shoes to wear on them.)

QUEEN OF THE VAMPIRE DISCO PUNKS

It's close to midnight and something evil's lurking in the dark
Under the moonlight you see a sight that almost stops your heart
You try to scream but terror takes the sound before you make it
You start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes
You're paralyzed



You hear the door slam and realize there's nowhere left to run
You feel the cold hand and wonder if you'll ever see the sun
You close your eyes and hope that this is just imagination, girl
But all the while you hear the creature creepin' up behind
You're out of time



They're out to get you there's demons closing in on every side
They will possess you unless you change the number on your dial
Now is the time for you and I to cuddle close together yeah
All through the night I'll save you from the terror on the screen
I'll make you see

FROSTY

Clearly I was in a snowy mood when I went to this month's edition of Collabor88, because everything I bought was in various shades of white and cream, like this dress! I am admiring Ison's modern sheath with the asymmetrical hem. So if we are going to wear snow, why not add some ice? Large faux stones in this jewelry set from LIV-Glam. The gold warms up the outfit a little, I was shivering. Today's shoes are available today for Fifty Linden Friday over at the Fri.day Mainstore.

STARRY DAYS

Aw don't you love my new baby? The stork delivered me an Abominable Snow Baby! She is a gift ... and includes both an attachment and an Avatar. Cute cute!! Now I just need to figure out what she eats.



The Arcade, We Love Roleplay and Collabor88 are all drawing to a close, but I'm sure all these lovelies will be heading back to their Main Stores. If you want to go to the Secret Store for the Coat, you should wear an invisible avatar cause they are having a FABULOUS hunt over there and it's a bit laggy. You shouldn't miss that either!

I LOVE RUDY

This outfit is a little dark so I woke it up with some red. Rudy the Reindeer is today's Fifty Linden Friday special over at Silentsparrow, so you have only a couple more hours to go get it at that price! Offered in regular and transferrable gift-giving versions.



This sweet furred jacket from LIV-Glam came with some eighties-retro baggy pants that I couldn't bring myself to wear because no matter how totally rad they are, I already lived in the eighties once. LOL. That's okay, I adore the jacket's side zipper, leather trim and structured shoulders. And this Furry hat and hair by Lamb is an instant fave cause it includes a HUD to retexture the hat to a bunch of cute fabrics.
