HANGARS LIQUIDES

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


It's lucky I was wearing these rockets, or I would have gone splat on the surface, however far down that was. ... Well it's late, I gotta jet. (*snort* See what I did there?)

DEADLY

I'm not sure how gothic Plaid really is but I'll try. :D  I can always dress it up with black eyeliner and these skull-y accessories. Does it work? The coat and umbrella weren't even made by the same designer. The coat-dress was made by Fission and the gacha umbrella by Third Time's the Charm! Both at Gothmas by Gaslight.



I added earrings and a ring by Maxi Gossamer. And black and purple makeup from Mock cosmetics, to make the skin more in theme.



The shoes and nails are both pretty over-the-top Goth. Spiders at Christmas? OK! ;D

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!

SUSPENDED UNDER THE SEA

Trinity Yazimoto has placed some lovely dresses in the Petit Chat booth at Fashion for Life. This shop is new to me but I like that her gowns are all based on her original artworks. You can also view the art at her gallery if you would rather hang it on your walls than wear it. The Suspendu Pour L'Eternite dress includes some fishy attachments that float about your collar and skirt, and if you play the FFL passport game you can pick up the matching necklace and earrings. Fit for a mer princess!



This year, ALL sales at Fashion for Life donate some percentage to Relay for Life, and the donation percentage is clearly marked on the vendors. Fashion for Life runs through Friday, June 20th. If you would like a teleport list of shop locations, please visit the Fashion for Life blog.

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.

BRANCHINGS

Ladies, I'm not even sure what to call these stunning jewels. They're not exactly earrings, are they? When I finally noticed that they hang from my temples, I felt stunned in a way that I usually don't feel until I'm in an art museum. It's so disconcerting. And hard core. I think the aggressive arty lashes go well, did I do it right?



Secretly I feel overdressed, but the outfit is hot and cool at the same time, and I'm ready for an Art Gallery, both to see and to be seen.

LIPS AS RED AS BLOOD

What's the big deal? Anyone can have red lips, if they just buy the right cosmetic.



I am so pleased that better quality fantasy wares are taking off in popularity. I mean, what is the point of having a second life if it's just like the first one? So today I am wearing a new mysterious mask from We Love Roleplay, and a lusciously tempting hair comb I selected at Enchantment. It's no wonder Snow White risked her life for something so beautiful.



The new Enchantment event is lovely, and sells furnishings as well as clothes. I had a lot of fun jumping up and down on the dwarfy beds. :D The build is prettified with chocolate sauce and a cherry on top. Lovely for photography. Stop in at my castle if you're in the neighborhood.



Mask: Chimeric Fashions "Branch Mask" (at We Love Roleplay)

AN EARLY SNOWFALL

I've been caught out in thin clothing by early snow. I guess I'll have to go shop for sweaters and jackets! Well today I am wearing an outfit of a type that I am hoping gets some traction in the stores. It's a hybrid, made of an old-school system shirt with separate sleeves, and a some nice mesh slacks. I like the system shirt because I could add a coat over it and leave off the puff sleeves. The only thing that needs improvement in my opinion is that instead of sculpted sleeves, it should come with mesh sleeves and collars. Unfortunately the makers of mesh have not been making much in the way of separate attachments. That would be such an improvement.



Outfit: LIV-Glam "Who Shot the Go Go"
Necklace: Lassitude and Ennui "Ophelia Cameo" (texture change HUD)
... you can put your own textures on the cameo HUD!
Shoes: Duh! "Floral Linen Flats"
Hair: D!va "Giz" (gacha)

DEM BONES

Every year I stop by Aikea Rieko's little Halloween party at the Plastik, to pick out some holiday-themed clothes, and eat out of all her Halloween candy dishes. Some give away candy, others fun Halloween accessories and outfits so a good time is had by all. This year's buy is this bony gown! XD



Mother Goose's latest dollarbie skins are both cute, with darker lips that might go well with your Halloween party attire. I layered over some eyeshadow and eyeliner from Mock Cosmetics for an evening look.
