STUPID CUPID

Even those of us who are not involved with anyone at present would love to get something anonymously flattering in the mailbox. I think a good cupid should be a mail carrier. This purse is the perfect one to carry billets-doux. I love how perfectly it perches on my forearm. The pose is built in that holds my hand just-so.



And I think these sweet bloomers and shoes are perfection together with all their gold buttons. I'm ready to go do some matchmaking.

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

SCISSORHANDS

Another sweet outfit inspired by the dark goings on over at World Goth Fair. Many of the goods like this dress and boots are equipped with texture change HUDs, which make it so much easier to coordinate an outfit in colors of your liking. I punked it up reminiscent of 1980's style with the jacket, which made me think ...



Scissorhands! Thinking about 80's punky movies made me smile. I got thinking about Winona Rider, Beetlejuice, and on and on. Ah ... Good times.

PAPILLON

I loved so hard on this outfit while I was trying to pull it together. Like a lot of mesh pieces they don't fit together perfectly, but pretty darn close. I started out with this simple classic gown from Evie's Closet. If you look closely, there is a beautiful subtle print on the fabric. The dress also comes with a low jeweled belt that I am not showing here, because I didn't think it really matched the butterfly hair pieces from Remarkable Oblivion. I picked up the Stitched cloak a while ago at a Fantasy Gacha Fair; I like it although the rigging is a little odd, and it doesn't hang straight in some poses. I rounded it out with some cute gacha hair.



Dress: Evie's Closet "Ceridwen"
Cape: Stitched "Elsa" (gacha)
Hairpieces: Remarkable Oblivion "Papillon"
Shoes: Lassitude and Ennui "Saltarello" (sorry they don't show! they're perfect for this outfit)

LA DAME DE COEUR

A few weeks ago at the Fantasy Gacha festival I may have been spotted dancing when I pulled this superb bit of headwear out of the Gacha vendor on the first try. I literally had to go find the right gown to wear with it, and life got complicated last month, but I finally spotted this beautiful frock over at Apsara. Although the high waistline isn't technically the correct period, I love the look so I don't care. *sticks out tongue*



And this hat. So fabulous that it deserves applause, and also its own butler. There isn't one camera angle that shows all of its fabulousness adequately, so I got a little frustrated whilst taking these photos. Lovely. My hat collection is now officially getting out of hand. Maybe I should have a Hat Week.



Hat: Remarkable Oblivion "Dame De Coeur RARE" (gacha) ... should be back at the Mainstore
Gown: Apsara "Sultana (Burnt Bridal)"

BABY IT'S COLD OUTSIDE

It's so cold outside that even online all I want to do is stay in with some cocoa. With things so busy right now, the week has sped by and today is already the last day of Relay for Life's Christmas Expo, and here I am to blog the last bits and bobs I have, and to encourage you to go before time runs out. Go now! This fun jacket is really for men but it's transferrable so you can give it to your man if you want to take him to a party all spiffed up.

How about this cute jacket and sweater set? It came with a pair of black pants too but they didn't fit well with the shoes.

Or just something cuddly for a quiet night in?

QUEEN FOR A DAY

I would rather only be Queen for a Day. I'm not really fond of rigid ritual or endless cycles of obligatory appearances. One's lipstick must always be flawless, schedule adhered to, and manners strictly orthodox, or one is exposed to heartless criticism. Being perfect is an impossible job. Regarding the jacket, I am sure that the pelt came from some rare lavender Himalayan wildcat.



The crown is pretty, but a headache. Just imagine the hairpins.



(I think this version of Remarkable Oblivion's crown was only available at the Donna Flora fundraiser, but there is another darker version in the R. O. Mainstore. )
