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.

FASHION FOR LIFE 2013 one

Finally it is almost time of year again for us to pull together and support the Relay For Life community in raising funds for cancer research! I love to support this event every year, both as a blogger and a patron. If you are going to buy clothes and whatnot anyway, why not do it for a good cause?



For example, every year June Dion at Bare Rose has one or two fundraiser outfits, usually styled in my favorite purple! Here I have mixed together pieces from the Male and Female versions of the Phoenix outfits. Her designs are like candy!! *yummmmm*



... Be ready to go on Saturday 9 March!  \O/

Mixed Outfits: Bare Rose "People Phoenix Armor" and "Purple Phoenix Knight" (Fashion for Life 2013 Exclusives)
Eyeshadow: Madrid Solo "Spotted Owl" (at Fashion For Life 2013)
Hair: booN "WMO003"
Skin: Pink Fuel "Gacha - 01- Purple Stripe" (at The Arcade Gacha)

DRAGON A L'ORANGE

As always when October comes around, our favorite designers get in the spirit of things and put out Halloween editions of some of their lovelies, some of them so inexpensive or even free that anyone on a tiny budget can join the rest of us prancing around in costume!

For example, this outfit includes a strapped outfit I picked up at the Plastik, a store well worth your time to go to anytime. She already puts out regular dollarbies and group lucky boards, but this month you need to go see the Halloween treat tables and bob for apples. Over the suit I am wearing a new NV mesh corset that is a gift at the Womenstuff Lounge. There is also a beautiful group gift available in the group history for a couple more days, in a lighter orange, more of a quilted creamsicle.



Pink Fuel has also set out a couple of beautiful presents, I won't spoil all the surprises, but they include this Halloween-edition skin with Orange metallic eyeshadow. I added these riveting orange eyes by Insufferable Dastard that I picked up at the Arcade Gacha venue.



And I thought Epic's legwarmers and hoofies would work with the Dragon set from Tokushi Avatars. The hooves are a VIP group gift. Joining the group is not free, but the gifts are frequent and I think worth the fee if you like fae, furry or kawaii things. The Dragon set was full price but fab, including ears, horns, unscripted wings and a very dangerous-looking tail. (Potterheads, think Hungarian Horntail.) Do you have your Halloween Costume yet?

Dragon Parts: Tokushi Avatars "Dragon Mod Set"
Corset: NV "Halloween Latex Mesh Corset" (gift)
Strappy Suit: Plastik "Samhain Strappysuit"
Legwarmers/Hooves: Epic "VIP Slouchie Digi Warmers" (VIP gift)
Hair: Lelutka "Rykiel"
Skin: Pink Fuel "Elly - Pumpkin Makeup" (gift)
Eyes: Insufferable Dastard "Orange Flare / The Arcade" (gacha)
Lashes: Miamai "Catwalk Lashes"

THE VIEW

Not this view.

This view! I really like the view from this side. From the front, these slacks look a little plain. Tweedy and nicely highwaisted, sure. But when I put them on, I was really digging on the little zipper in the back.

Thanks for my cutie patootie, Ms. Betty!

Pants: Ingenue "Katherine in Tweed"
Corset: Schadenfreude "Fluorite Tree Corset" (sorry it doesn't show well)
Vest: Malt "Lorelei"
Ring: U&R Dogs "Cara Mio Ben Ring" (at the 4.44.444 sale)

HOT FOR ZOMBIES

Usually I'm just a wallflower.

But when I met him I just couldn't help myself. We danced all night. (And let me say, for the undead he was shockingly light on his feet.)

Then abruptly, everything went wrong ... just a little nosebleed sent him completely around the bend. But I kept a cool head.

I had to get all kung fu on him for a minute.

But hey, it was all just a misunderstanding.

The Hot for Zombies "Bloody Valentines Celebration" this weekend benefits the Red Cross. Why not go shopping and enjoy the company of the Undead? I am wearing a shirt and skirt I picked up at the fundraiser.

CIOCCOLATA GATCHA GATCHA FESTIVAL

SO MANY more cute things but I'll let someone else show you pictures. :) Most things are priced between L$10-30, the most expensive I noticed was L$50. Most items are transferrable so you can share duplicates with your friends, or trade. Dang I wish these KattyPop bags came in a fatpack, just kidding Ms. Pidgeon. I love the ones with guns in them, they're perfect for trick-or-treating in the Wastelands or some other really rough neighborhood >.<

Visit the Gatcha Gatcha Festival!

Serene
