Eat your heart out, George!

I haven't been about for a few days and have missed all the hunts, finds and general mayhem on the grid for well over a week, so needed to spend, spend spend, just to make myself feel better again. Anyhoo, that's my excuse even if it is pathetic and feeble :P and, I decided I wanted a "LOOK" to make sure I overcompensated properly. I wasn't certain what look, and it took me an age to scour the sims for something to take my fancy, so here, mes amis, for your delectation and delight, is my take on the 80's without scary shoulder pads!

The clobber what I is wearing is a frock from !tb (though it's marketed as a jumper???) and was a canny L$100, and the hair is from Hiccup (you gotta love that gal, Tilly Tokyo) for L$175 - Aint Born typical - in the platinum pack. I have to say that this is such a great short cut that I'll prolly never take it of me head...EVER!

Tights were a problemo, but I managed to find something that really took my fancy from a designer I have never seen before. They come in loads of colours, and are very well made indeed - lovely textures. Plenty of pretty undies in the shop too, so go and check it out. Oh yeah, be prepared for surprising lady stuff on display; it made me laugh like a drain. LISA MARIE'S Flower Grey Socks were L$90 and have a sussy belt in the pack too.

Shoes are, of course, Armidi, and are the delectable, delicious, delightful and desirous Dhali Bow Platforms in silver, L$325. Not cheap, but soooo lush and requiring of alliteration that I will have to snap my own fingers so I type no longer.

I got the hat from Periquita, who has LONG time been one of my favourite shoemakers and seems to be extending her not inconsiderable talents towards other areas including sunnies and jewellery. Take a look at Free*Style if ya don't believe me. I had to fiddle with it so it would sit on the back of my head but I think it looks ace. Big Bow Hat L$100.

+plus is another new designer for me and I was impressed with the cost of all of the lovely items in the shop. My gorgeous new bangle was a measly L$60 so I got one in copper as well, and I had to have the fabboo giant patent clutch in grey for L$120 or I would probably have carked it there and then. I ain't much of a bag gurl, but I do like the odd one or two and this works quite nicely with my AO, which can be a right PITA when they don't. ::Tuli:: supplied the necklace for a further L$100, with two in the pack so's ya can choose an attachment area. Useful, particularly when you wanna have something else on your chest like maybe a prim skirt? Or a man??? LOL

Skin was ROSEMAR creampuff in almond Group giftie - /me blows kisses at Rosemary.

Retro Trash Slut :P

BLAND is a new store and has some fine, fine things in there that I like muchly, sooo muchly that I bought a dress with a system skirt. Now considering the PITA that Wind-effing-Light is causing with system skirts I thought it was pretty bloody brave of me... And boy, am I pleased my hunch paid off.

It's a lovely dress, bright and cheery, and it is also styled with great flare. The only thing I'm sulky about is that there aren't many layers, and I do like 'em so cos you can mix and match the pieces every-which-way. Cost L$200 but I don't care as now I know everyone'll see me coming. LOL

I teamed it with the rather good Eloh another skin mod from Fancy Fairy called Marilyn, which comes with a nice shape that rather accurately portrays the sex icon to a "T" - available for L$100 (however, the Taille you see is all my own work). A damn fine price for some quality work, and it makes a gal look hotter than that tin roof - smokin'! There happen to be some other really fine pieces there too if you are into the fairy thing, and the scripted wings selling for L$200 are simply beautiful with hand painted textures. The bra peeking over the top of the dress is from Fancy Fairy too and is as free as a bird. Look for the Spring Lingerie set cos I know you won't be disappointed with its sheer loveliness.
Hair is from booN and is the great freebie that's still available in store, NMR32. I decided on blondie-locks to make certain I had that whole tartlet look down pat. Now, I think it works pretty damn good, but then I would. :D

Shoes and necklace both from *JetDoll*, and I blogged 'em previously so I hope you were paying attention to the cost ('cept I just remembered I couldn't find the shoes - meh) as I ain't repeating meself. Oh no...

Have fun and nighty, night all. xxx

Tree of Second Life™

Not so much a fashion exhortation as a "Go and take a look at this awesome place...!" Not only are there great clothes - not for the fainthearted as they are stylish, beautiful and fairly pricey - including shoes, and jewellery, but there is the most stunning build and lovely gardens to explore and wander about. This has to be one of the prettiest places I have been in SL™ and, believe me, I've travelled the metaverse a fair old bit.

I did take a couple of "fashion" piccies cos I thought it would be a waste of a great opportunity. I am wearing today [Random] new Bow Tunic in cream, L$125 and the L$1 Very Skinny Jeans from the GNUbie Store (the very top floor of the shop). Hair by (JUNWAVE), wolf_short Black, L$60, and my skin is a ::Tuli:: S5 group gift and looks perfect for this casual look.

A quick word about (JUNWAVE)... the hair is cheap, and very, very good. Go there immediately!

Necklace from *JetDoll* for L$60, and it is sooo cute. Mmmmhmmm, I do love her stuff.

Have fun, my lovelies. xxx

Sleazy Motels.

After a godawful day when the grid was as temperamental as an old 'ho, between crashes, no logins, and various other signs of borkdom, I finally managed to get on line to take a looksie at the new Starlust Motel and I was not disappointed. There are some great stores and the look of the place is just downright grimy - I LURVE it - there is even a corpse (or maybe one of THOSE dolls - ya know, the rubber sort? :X) in the pool, how cool is that? Some great freebies to be had, catering for a wide range of tastes, and I was well pleased to see another *Thimbles* store, as Melatonin Hax is fast becoming one of my fave designers.

I'm wearing the blue Awee Baby dress from (dress available at Starlust) *Thimbles*, which was a L$0, and on the desk there are a number of other items that cost zilch/nil/nada. Everything about this dress just shows what I love about *Thimbles*, from great textures, a sense of quirky styling and value for money. Even the full priced items are a bargain and very, very versatile coming in a number of layers making options pretty damn good.

I teamed it with the lush booN HNB27 L$220 in black, a gorgeous Fleur Vivant skin - Pin-up 3 Almond L$500 - Slink tied shirt in white, some silver leggings in a long-time-ago gift (Glam Rock dress) from *Punch Drunk* and the oh-so-lovely blue striped Anchors Away! heels from *JetDoll* and can't-recall-the-price-of-cos-I'm-a-twit, which I'll admit to drooling over. Kitty Pidgeon is also holding a 50% sale, so get a move on.

Necklace is from Tekeli-li!, who I had never heard of before (prolly cos it caters for fantasy) and it is the Sacred Heart piece at L$100. I think it is a complete bargain as the metal and gems are scripted to change colour so there are any number of outfits you can wear this with.

Cute bag is **Baby Monkey from her Great Big group gift and is the Grab Bag Peacock. Thanks Pixie, you're a real doll!

Enjoy the shoppin', muchachos! xxx

P.S. Windlight is a bish for lighting. Gah, experiments needed, I can see.
