THE DEVIL IN A NICE BLUE SUIT

I found this pretty blue suit in my mailbox and tried it on, and this song started going through my head:

She's the devil with the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress,
Devil with the blue dress on

And I thought, it's a Suit, not a dress, but I figured that's okay, cause if the devil had a day job, she'd probably be a lawyer. She is here with her briefcase to negotiate a contract for your soul, if you're dumb enough to answer when she knocks at your door.

The blue suit has purple trim, so that gave me a great excuse to buy a pair of purple boots. Like I need an excuse.

CABOCHON BRUNETTE

It starts with a worn and dark fluttery bird texture on my silentsparrow suit. This color of the Corbie Suit was a limited edition but there are several other colors available. I layered in Mr. Poet's shirt because I adore the ruffled collar and pinned the cabochon brooch on my lapel.

I'm not really much for long tails so I exhaled and buttoned on my corset.

Yes these Lassitude and Ennui boots again. They are modifiable, so I was playing around with tint. I love them in two-tone, don't you?

.. And I really wanted to show you the elaborate braiding on this delicious coif. BooN has a growing collection of hair that is intended for wear over a hairbase. I also wanted to mention that they have three sets of hairbases which I love because the hair is pulled back three ways to the crown of the head, the back, and down to the nape of the neck. I wore two hairbases together to get a look that I like.

THE ART GEEK

Earthbound.

But always dreaming of more.

Maybe if I paint it well enough, someone else will catch my dreams.

I wish there was a chair tall enough to lift me into heaven. I don't have wings.

I liked the Kanji Shirt when I saw it in the window, but in the interest of fair disclosure there is a little bit of seam showing at the waist, so I grabbed my Sey hoodie and tied it around my waist to hide that little bitta schmutz. Off I went to the Museum. I haven't been there for a while and there are several new displays. Loved it!

EVERLASTING

This field of flowers goes on, year after year.

The flower fields go on, but individual flowers do not.

This week I got to thinking about all the people places and things that I miss. People come and go as their priorities change, lovely and inspiring designers suddenly pack up shop and disappear, whole worlds vanish overnight and I wish I had visited them more often. Right now Ashoka Eales is having a closing sale for a few more days, and Phoenix Rising will vanish. I went poking through my inventory and stumbled over Kunstkammer, Armidi, Pacadi Jasha, ... The Nameless Isle, Templum Obscurum, Cu Mara, Nagare Island, and on and on. But I am not exactly sad ... People are going their own way, but I miss their art. Let me enjoy it while I can.

Bodysuit: Vita’s Boudoir “Lace Bodice V2” (it’s transparent so I added an undershirt)
Skirt: Phoenix Rising “Flora” (everything L$100 at the Closing Sale)
Leggings: Tee*fy “Lacey Duotone Leggings” (Albero gacha festival)
Jewelry: Kunstkammer “Black Forest” (unavailable)
Shoes: Slink “Aveela Stiletto Herringbone” (with texture change HUD)(at the Dressing Room)

PUNKY IN PURPLE

Pretty in pink? No ... But how about Punky in Purple?

The hemline on this gown reminded me of the 80's, Molly Ringwald, and Boy George, and so you have this outfit that is a little bit punky. I considered hightop sneakers and legwarmers, but found these pumps instead ...
