UNDER A STEAMPUNK MOON

Even if you have never had cancer, don't know anyone who has cancer, and have the personal word of Deity that you will never have cancer, I have to tell you that the TEN sims of fabulousness that is Fashion for Life is an amazing Smorgasbord of Yum. For example, this outfit is one of Purple Moon's benefit items, including the clothing, hat and matching shoes. I was also tickled to see that Damselfly has updated to Mesh hair and is still around after forever, when so many older businesses have closed up shop. This hair is lovely isn't it?



I added eyewear by Crie Style. I'm not entirely certain if it is a fancy Gun, or a tiny Laser Targeting System stolen from the future, I'm too intimidated to ask :D   I took a close-up picture so you can see its 248 tiny prims of goodness ... also for charity!



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. I appreciate that. Kudos to the generosity of everyone involved whether they are donating designs, giving their time, or shopping their sweet little hearts out. Fashion for Life runs through Friday, June 20th. The Fashion for Life blog has a list of direct shop locations if you would like to head to your favorite stores, but you really should walk around and take it all in.

JAUNE FILLE

Stepping into the dim light under a neglected city lamp post, a few little fireflies float by. Maybe they are attracted to the summery yellow shirt and bag?



More light from the car headlights than from the lamp post.



The lamp post comes with two poses, so you and a friend can hang on the left and right sides of the pole. Another sweet pose prop available at Vintage Fair.  ;)

TRAVELLER

I'm ready to step out for some weekend fun. Just a short hop on plane, train or automobile. My overnight bag is packed, and my clothes are stylish but comfortable enough. Daring jacket, capris. and sexy red-hot shoes.



Purple Moon's delish new leather jacket is bound to be a big crowd pleaser. I had a hard time deciding which color combination to show you because they are all so tempting. Trust me, I drooled all over the brown and teal version of the jacket. :D



I never had heard of TuTy's hair before, but this shop is offering several truly vintage styles. I am impressed with how much I like this hair, even though it bends several of my usual rules. the hair is very shiny, but I think it reproduces beautifully the pomaded and controlled styles of the early twentieth century. This wig is intended to reproduce a 1940's style but I think it would also work well with black skins, because if you look closely it shows a bit of frizz as if it has been treated with a relaxer. Maybe I'll blog this look next.
