CRANKY PANTS

PIXIE PRINCESS

I am starting to have quite a collection of fairy and pixie heads. Maybe not for everyday wear, because I like my original face, but these really are darling. This one was one of VCO's collection at the last Arcade gacha.



I'm pretty sure having a butterfly on my real nose would make me sneeze. But pixies and butterflies are best buddies obviously.

MIRANDA

A quick dark look inspired by a little necklace I pulled from Nylon Outfitters' entry in the Tag Gacha event. I had great fun doing the road-rally style gacha fest. If you miss the old Creators Stamp Rally that they used to have over at the Mont Saint Michel sim, this should be right up your alley.



This "Miranda" cameo is from a set of stunning hand-drawn portraits that remind me of Edward Gorey and the Addams Family. Perfect for this time of year. Miranda obviously loves her kitty so I posed with another one of mine. The Sugar Garden has these kittens ... aw!!

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)
Hair: Spellbound "Suspiria" (at Oh My Gacha)
Skin: Essences "Jamie"
Eyes: Ikon "Ardent"
Lashes: LeLutka "Photoshoot II"
Hands and Feet: by SLink
