SHOWING MY AGE

I've always loved to mash-up outfits with bits of this and that and mix old and new. I wore pointy ears and wings before it was the "thing" and I'm still wearing them after it was the "thing". This outfit contains rigged mesh, unrigged mesh, sculpted prims, system clothing and flexi-prims. The top half of my body is my system shape, the bottom half is a mesh body, because my kewl new pants are appliers-only. I wish Second Life had more appreciation for longevity; just because something is getting older doesn't mean it isn't still beautiful, like this scarf, which I bought in 2009. Hmm? What do YOU still have in your inventory that has stood up to the test of time?

FIXATIONS

I have to admit, I have a fixation on food. I find myself hungrily eyeing the sprinkles on this knit hat and I wish I could really eat the luscious cherry on top of the cone. I guess I shouldn't go shopping for clothes when I am hungry.



I don't really go for the more risqué clothing at the Epic Store, but I still like a lot of their Kawaii accessories. All in bright candy colors. Or chocolate shoes that look almost good enough to eat. I could go for a Waffle Cone right about now. :D

HANGARS LIQUIDES

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

YER A WIZZARD

I really love it when Damien Fate departs from his usual work making ordinary clothing to make themed roleplay goods. But I finally got around to trying on this set I bought a while ago and I have to say this one is especially sweet!! This Quidditch set is well made like everything he makes, but I got all excited when I was reading about the features in the notecard. Let me explain.



When I am standing up, the cape hangs straight, like in this picture. When flying on the scripted broom, it flies out behind me. (Sorry I couldn't get a decent picture of that.) If I stop and hover on the broom, the cape bunches up over the back of the broomstick as showing in the next picture. Animated mesh!! *squeeeee*



Outfit: FATEPlay "Wright" (scripted animated mesh)
Pug: Birdy "A Pug Xmas" (gacha)

STILL LIFE WITH FERRETS

Get real. If there is one thing ferrets never are, it's STILL. But they make me happy the way animals do. Just having an easy day in a casual outfit. The glasses, shirt and jeans are all in one, but you can also wear the jeans alone with something else. It comes with a HUD that changes the colors of each piece.



The shoes too, you can change the colors of the boot, heel, sole, elastic, and the socks. I used an extra HUD to get the vintage print on the socks. I love choices!!

GAUNTLETS

I've been passing through a tight spot in my life, and I haven't been online for a while, but I'm back. I realized last night that I've been wearing this armor for a couple of months now. So I might as well photograph it right?



I bought this hair a while ago. Taketomi designed it to fit inside a big cowl neck sweater, but it works really well with the standing collar of this quilted vest. :D
