LAVENDER DREAM

The lovely jewel tones of Fall don't have to restrict you to wearing rusty oranges and reds. I am still loving this purple gown all the way through to the first snowfall.



The drapery of this Miamai gown is amazing isn't it? I love its natural asymmetry and flowing fabrics! So elegant.



The choker is an unconventional pairing, with its mix of arty scrollwork and industrial coggishness. It is available right now over at the Clockwork Spiral fundraiser, if you haven't visited yet!

IT AIN'T EASY BEING GREEN

Not only isn't it easy being green, it isn't easy being Fae, Unseelie, Horned, or anything else on the outer fringes of the Bell Curve. So should I hide behind a more conventional mask? I can blend better if you would like me to.



I wanted to wear Sugar Garden's skin set just a little longer!! ... With some recent lovelies from Lassitude and Ennui. The beautiful period frock is at Fantasy Faire, but I imagine it will relocate to Ms. Ennui's shop after these events finish.

QUEEN FOR A DAY

I would rather only be Queen for a Day. I'm not really fond of rigid ritual or endless cycles of obligatory appearances. One's lipstick must always be flawless, schedule adhered to, and manners strictly orthodox, or one is exposed to heartless criticism. Being perfect is an impossible job. Regarding the jacket, I am sure that the pelt came from some rare lavender Himalayan wildcat.



The crown is pretty, but a headache. Just imagine the hairpins.



(I think this version of Remarkable Oblivion's crown was only available at the Donna Flora fundraiser, but there is another darker version in the R. O. Mainstore. )

Crown: Remarkable Oblivion "Love Donna Flora Crown" (unavailable?)
Jacket: Valentina E. "Dita Vintage Fur Bomber" (at Fameshed)
Purse: Zenith "Timeless Bag" (gacha at the Chapter Four)
Shirt: DCNY "Ruffle Top" (vintage system /sculpt)
Skirt: Valentina E. "Dita Vintage Pencil Skirt" (at Fameshed)
Shoes: Ingenue " Volta Booties" (at Collabor88)
Hair: Exile "Maylee"
Skin: Essences "Olyvia"
Lipstick: Dead Apples "Balm Stains - Fall Colors"
Eyes: Ikon "Horizon"
Hands and Feet: by SLink
Poses: by Adorkable and Elymode

CIRQUE DU COSMETIQUE part one

I am a little late joining the party at the Cosmetic Fair, but I wanted to tell you that there are some really lovely offerings. I got a little bored photographing cosmetics in the conventional way, soo ...



Ladies and Gentlemen, for your amazement and edification we offer you some beautiful freaks of nature! I am The Ringmaster.  (Kooqla "Little Dragon" Eyeshadows available in four colors, and "Mango" Lips also available in more than a dozen other color options.)



Keep your distance from this deadly Alien beauty, you would be amazed how wide her multiple jaws can open! Do you think she is hungry? ("Baby Gloss" for Lips by Rozena, available in four colors.)



But there is nothing to fear from Rosie and Aggie, the Siamese Twins from Dorset. For three dollars they will stun you with their Bellydancing! Step right up!  (Blacklace "Harlow" cosmetics include tattoo lashes, and Dead Apples made the distinctive teeth. They come with or without the gap, and with twelve different alpha textures that give your mouth opening different appearance.)



(Showing here some bright trending eyeshadow by ElyMode, from the "Confetti-ish" and "Galaxy" sets, which together contain thirty-three different color variations, all sassy! The gold confetti shadow on the left is part of their free sample pack.) 

Do you have a ticket? The Cosmetics Fair is located HERE. If you could like to see more pictures of the offerings, here's a LINK to their Flickr page. The Fair runs through April 30th. There is no possible way I will be able to blog all the gorgeousness so you should go see for yourselves. Have fun! :D

Love,
Serene

p.s. Yeah yeah, I know, I'm a nut case.
