DON'T WORRY BE HAPPY

Just at the moment it's quiet in the middle of the night and I am enjoying a serene moment.  Or is it the Oxycodone? I'm not sure but whatever it is, I'll take it.



I guess it's mostly in your outlook.

DOGUE

I love my baby dogue. She isn't new, but I checked and this puppy-in-a-bag is still free on the Marketplace, and the purse is color-change, so you can color-coordinate her with a whole bunch of outfits. In this case that's easier because the top and the shoes also change texture. The dress can also be green or monotone gray.



And the shoes come with a HUD that changes to forty-eight colors. That's enough isn't it? These are not SLink feet, but the feet are very nice, built into the shoes, and not too hard to color match with a little practice. There are also several shades of polish for the toenails built into the HUD ...

RITA

Solidea Folies is offering three outfits at Vintage Fair that are based on the same mesh Gown, but with varying system, flexi and sculpted attachments. This outfit is called "Sabrina" and in addition to what pieces you see here, it also includes a belt and gloves. I like the complete outfit but I dressed it down a little bit by leaving some pieces at home. The outfit felt frilly enough for me with the fabric flowers and netting. I appreciate that flexibility.



Today I wanted to show you Essences Indy skin in black. I like how it looks with the soft vintage hair; I think the texture looks like something a black woman might get with a relaxer and pomade. These TuTy hairs are pushing the the edge of shiny-ness but I like them in the darker colors, black, browns, and there is even a nice dark red that reminded me of Jessica Rabbit :D

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.
