I'll Take my Cupcakes With a Side of Yabusaka Awesome, Please!

There may be typos in this post. It is FREEZING where I live and I am shivering but still trying to type, lol! Why bother making a post when you have to be all uncomfortable to do it? That's probably what you are thinking. Well, the reason is...NEW SKIN FROM CUPCAKES!!This skin line comes in the tones we all love, three of which (Whisper, Cream, and Copper) are shown above. The skin also comes with cleavage and "regular" options which is seriously a must have these days.This skin has so many features and a lot of WOW! BAM! AWESOME! You can see me wearing the black eyebrows on the tattoo layer at the end of the post; however, if you like blonde, red, etc. brows, a different style of eyebrows (there are three), or no eyebrows at all (my favorite option, as shown in the rest of the pics) then you can have those too!! My only complaint about these skins is that I would love more non-tattoo layer eyebrow options for us non-2.0 using lamers, hehe.The makeups are fabulous, as you can see. There is everything from natural, to pin-up, to super goth! Not shown here but also released are fantasy makeups for you fairy type folk :D I looove the glossy lip and the nose on these skins. I have been a big supporter of Cupcakes skins since...um...they were called Rosemar, lol! Each release gets better.Don't forget to peek in at the necklace I am wearing!! It is a new release from Yabusaka and...guess what?...It can change what the letters say!!! How cool is that? A lot of things I see that have customizable writing usually use bad texture change systems but this sculpted beauty makes everything look great. Of course I chose to write "Cake" on mine for this post, teehee. A fun contrast to the lace lingerie and bedroom hair I think ;D

Waiting.

I wait for him, watching out the window, every car that passes by first a hope, then a disappointment. I smoke through a pack, nervous rumblings in my stomach, unable to sit still. The stress of the anticipation is killing me more than the tar and carcinogenic fog filling my lungs ever will.I run my hand down the white lace, fitted against my body, spotless and waiting to be tossed onto the floor. My feathered jewelry and virginal color choice whispers purity but my red lips and dark eyes scream something completely different. I want him here, I want him now. I want the waiting to end.

Oh gosh. I don't know if I can do this.

Okay, okay. I'll come out if you promise not to laugh.

Don't adjust your monitor. I really am wearing pink.

Yes. I, Isabeau Reinard, the notorious pink hater, am wearing pink.

Don't get used to it. It happens only once per year, and only for charity, so take it all in now. Memorize it 'cause it'll be a while before you see it again.

I've been wearing pink all day. It feels so strange. And there's this weird sound...

Can you hear it? IT'S MY SOUL CRYING.

I've got the vapors. I think I'm gonna faint. Good thing this is almost over.

And if anyone calls me cute, you will feel my wrath. The kung fu is strong with this one.
All jokes aside, I really did wear pink for charity. Wear Gray for a Day is an event that supports the American Brain Tumor Association, and the outfits showcased here are donation items available at the fair right now.

I love wearing gray

Wear Gray 2010 is on, and it's gone off with a bang! Shoppers have been absolutely amazing with their donations, and designers have been beyond awesome with their donation items.

I love this dress from Moonshine. It's a 100% donation item, which is awesome, but the sheer panel is even better. With the right skin you can catch a sneak peek of what's underneath. (You know what I'm talking about!) It went swimmingly with these shoes from {theosophy}.

I also love these incredibly realistic eyes from Ibanez, and I can't wait to see more of Tuli's Tanya skins!

I recently adopted a barn as my main home, and I've been working on decorating it. I put the Wear Gray donation items from { what next } in them for a pleasant touch. They're so cute.

Go check out Wear Gray. There are a lot of fantastic designers (click here for the list) with a lot of even more fantastic exclusive items, all to support the American Brain Tumor Association. Surely you can do a little shopping for a good cause... ;)

Angel or Demon?

My friend Laerke sent me a link to a gorgeous dress on Xstreet. I bought it hoping it was as great as it was in the picture....it totally is!It's so romantic feeling with it's puffed sleeves, bustle, lace, and even an umbrella with holding AO. I put the top from the Lil Nipper dress from Sn@tch over it to add a bit of extra sauciness. It all goes perfectly with the hair from Miamai at Hair Fair. I was wandering around in this outfit and got two separate people asking me to tell them where the hair was from because they wanted to get it right then. :)

Dress w/Umbrella and Gloves: Aliza Karu Creations

A Lovely Strand

The Strand is a brand I had never heard of prior to Hair Fair. I am glad to know them now though! The styles are very elegant and well sculpted. The textures are soft and shiny, the blonds are glamorous and the overall feel of the styles offered is elegant with a bit of whimsy.I recommend these styles for all you fancy updo needs :) The dress is a freebie from Ivanka Akina at Hair Fair. It comes with a sculpted rose decoration on the belt but I am not wearing it in the photo. I love the little lace bolero! The skin is an amazing hunt gift from CStar and while you can't see it well in the photo because of the sepia treatment just know it has bright colors, great cleavage and is well made all in all.
