Random Spoopy LOTD

  I was sorting through inventory and recent purchases and managed to put together this outfit.  I like it very much!  This feels like something I would and could actually wear in RL if I was going out to the club.  I don't go out much anymore now that I am a mom and wife but dang this makes me want to.  Anyway, details below!

WORN:
Hair: Little Bones @ C88
Dress: Pixicat, the textures are animated!!!!!!!!!
Tattoo: Speakeasy @ The Seasons Story, free
Necklace: Pixel Box, free on marketplace hunt
Choker: Breed, 10L
Mesh Head: Genesis Lab, gacha item

Tuli, Three Ways

  So one of my all time favorite skin brands, Tuli, has some new release goodness out.  I want to share some photos with you and the the details will be under the cut so that this doesn't overwhelm the feeds and such. :P

LOTD 4-17-15 (Mildly NSFW? Just Undies So Maybe Not?)

  Just like the title says this post contains undies so I am not sure if it is considered NSFW, maybe if you work somewhere really strict, so picture and info. will be below the cut.  Undies!  Have fun!

My Junior High Stars

  This is really just a random look of the day.  For some reason it reminded me of this shirt i had from Delia's when I was in like eight grade or something that had diagonal tiny colorful stars on it so I was like MUST PHOTOSHOP STARS ON THIS.  Well, Gimp, Photoshop is too expensive for me.  Anyway, this outfit literally has nothing to do with my junior high look.  OK bye!

Double Post

  I have two looks for you today!  The first is something I found and just instantly had to buy.  I saw this on Marketplace and my jaw just dropped.  Tuty's is normally known for their skin, hair, and AOs but their clothing is really becoming freaking fabulous.  This dress is proof!
  The dress comes with options for two shirt colors, black or white.  There are options for standard size as well as "curvy" options.  There are tons of colors available but when I was gushing over this on Plurk everyone wanted to buy black and I decided to go a little bit different.  I think the pink is such a sweet color and combined with the sexy latex and conservative cut it makes for an exceptional combination.

  My second look today is a complete 180 from the first one.  I meant to blog this about a billion years ago but never did.  I figured I might as well post it now even though the items have been covered a lot.  It's just great!!!
  I get asked about this hair A LOT by people who want to buy it.  It's been out for a super long time at Lelutka but it's worth a buy anyway.  Combined with the structured dress and browless skin I think it makes a more high fashion type of look.

  Hope you guys like at least one of these looks today, I certainly do!  Slurls and such below, check it out and have a great day. :D

Food and Shoes

  I love both food and shoes and combining them for eating and wearing isn't generally a good idea so have some photos instead!
  The first pair of shoes is from Dilly Dolls.  Original mesh, lots of colors available, awesome as always.  She tends to do items in color options for everyone, from dark, goth colors to sweet, pastel colors.  You can pretty much find any color you want.  My food choice here is the pizza from Scarlet Apple currently at Collabor88.  What can I say, I love pizza.  It has steam coming off of it inworld but I turned particles off for the photo out of habit so you can't see it here.

   The second pair you probably already have and know about but when I thought burger and fries I thought drive-in rollerskating waitress.  They are from The Secret Store, there are a million colors, they were for The Arcade but that is over now.  My burger and fries (and cute little ketchup packets!) are from Pilot and were a past FLF item.  So cute!!

  OK, back to taking more pictures of shoes.  I really love shoes and it is time I gave them some more love.  More details below!
Worn:
Heels: Dilly Dolls, lots of color options and packs available
Roller Skates: The Secret Store, gacha from past Arcade, not sure if still available but I will check when I log in next and update then.
Burger Meal: Pilot

You Have Undies on Your Cupcakes.

  Cupcakes has a new skin line out called Creampuff.  They had an older line with the same name but believe me, it's different and much improved this time around.  There are so many options with this new line I really can't even begin to photo them all without spending all day doing it.  I am just going to show you some more basic options so you can have an idea of what to expect.

  First I wanted to show one of the darker tones called Tiramisu.  The skin I am wearing is shown with the "unlined eyes" tattoo layer option as well as the "lips concealed" lipstick layer.  I felt that wearing the two together gave a very nice, clean option for those who prefer natural looks.
  Next I wanted to show one of the lightest tones called Sugar.  This is also a fairly natural look but I added some minimal makeup to give it a sort of bedroom-sweet appeal. I wore the no brow version of the skin with tattoo layers for flushed cheeks, freckles, and a basic eyeliner.

  All skins come with the natural skin in six eyebrow options, shape, appliers for Lola's, and tattoo layers in the following choices: freckles, flushed cheeks, unlined eyes, facial contour, enhanced cleavage, pink lip, rose lip, concealed lip, and peach lip.  Wowza!  Also available for purchase are packs of lipsticks, eye makeups, and eyes to match.  This really is a lot!  There are seven tones available for this line.
  One other new thing I have found out about Cupcakes is that they have stopped doing full perm mesh and will also be discontinuing their skin templates (with the exception of the rare, limited edition ones.)  This is big news!
  OK, off I go for now!  Check the details below for more info. on the other item.
Worn:
Skins and Eyes: Cupcakes
First Hair: Clawtooth by Clawtooth @ Collabor88
Second Hair: Fashionably Dead @ Collabor88
Corset: Sn@tch

I Wish David Lynch Was My Cousin So We Could Eat Thanksgiving Food Together and It Would BE Amazing

I only named this post that because this post is called Your Cousin is George Lynch (from the store PDA, no longer available), which reminded me of David Lynch, and also I can't wait for pie.  So that happened.  Anyway, moving on, here is a new dress from Blue Blood!  This dress is a hand drawn, mesh item which comes in standard sizes with multiple color options available.  It fit my shape pretty well and it's great for those who prefer the drawn look instead of the photo-realistic type stuff.

My hair is from Clawtooth by Clawtooth.  I have been feeling the gray hair lately (don't kill me Isabeau!)  My stitched up eyebrows are from Miss Shippe's Studio and work best with a skin that doesn't have eyebrows or on top of an eyebrow remover tattoo layer.  You can always count on MSS for something unique and pretty much amazeballs.  My skin is from Mons and was a Cinema event exclusive but you can get other similar styles at the store and they are fab, as always.
Enjoy!

Three Flavors of Cupcakes

First thing I want to say I know my pics might not be totally up to par at the moment.  I moved in RL and I just am not used to how things are set up yet.  You should, however, still be able to see how lovely these new skin lines from Cupcakes are!  First is the latest line called Nora.  I love how this is very natural, like when you wear it you feel like you could meet some lovely young woman with these features in real life.

 Next is Starlet.  I chose a plain-lipped makeup for this line to show you the newer lip style.  I love the way this makeup looks like a matter or very bare lip would look.

Finally the next line is Doll.  I chose a red lip for this line because, well, I love red lips the best and this is a wonderful shade of it.  I chose a the regular cleavage option and wore my smaller-chested shape to show how the body works well with a smaller bust size.  The skin line also comes with a fuller breast but I think the flat-chested folks might like to see how things could look on them as well so I chose to show this option.

Each line from Cupcakes is available in many tones with multiple body, face and makeup options.  The skins are always affordable and there is almost always a great deal to be had somewhere in the store.  Check it out!

A Difficult Post

I hate trying to mix mesh pieces from different brands together.  Hate it.  I wanted to challenge myself, though, so I tried.  I sort of succeeded, lol.  The outfit is finally together and I like the way it looks but I had to alter my shape pretty dramatically to make it happen.  I had to fit into a XXS on the corset for it to be able to work under the skirt and my av normally wears a medium or small. 0.0  See, the problem is, the skirt from Bare@Rose only comes in one size.  That size is, I would say, around a medium in standard sizing.  It's rigged so no resizing allowed.  I was dumb and didn't try a demo before buying five new outfits from there, thinking I could use them all for mixing and matching. Blargh.  The wonderful thing about it is that all the pieces from Bare@Rose come in multiple colors, usually with a full out, not just one item, and they are dirt cheap.  So, even though the items are very difficult to mix and match, I am still happy with my B@R purchases.

My top is from Ingenue for Collabor88.  The top is available in a zillion sizes (standard sizing plus more) and the alpha layer textures for downloading to edit in case the alpha layer included doesn't work.  Lots of colors available and only 88L!  My necklace is part of a jewelry set from the MySecondBox group samples this month.  Ring and earrings also included.  My head wrap is from Vaughan's @ Fashion Voodoo.  The head wrap comes with two hair base tattoo layer options (I am not wearing them, I just felt like mixing it up and using a subscriber gift Hairoin base) and the wrap itself is texture change to three different patterns.  My skin is a new-ish release from JM:Mai that I just kind of decided I loved based on the fact that the lips and eye area definition was awesome.  It comes with two lip options and also eyebrows colors on the tattoo layer.

My shoes are new from Lassitude&Ennui for L'Accessoires.  There are lots of colors available for 350L each or you could be a rich girl and get the fat pack for 1000L. xD  The feet come with a skin tinting HUD that is pretty easy to use (color picker and RGB options, as well as various skin texture starting points) and also has twenty nail color options.  Rigged mesh and unrigged, resizable, mesh included.

Worn:
Top: Ingenue @ Collabor88, 88L
Shoes: Lassitude & Ennui @ L'Accessoires, 350L per color
Head Wrap: Vaughan's @ Fashion Voodoo, 93L, texture change
Hair Base: Hairoin, subscriber gift
Skin: JM:Mai, 950L
Skirt w/Attached Belt: Bare@Rose, 175L, includes four skirt colors, five shirt colors (not shown) and shoes and choker (not shown)

Puking Rainbows on Alice

  Ever wonder why no one has ever found a mermaid even with all the reported sightings?  Because no one bothers to look when no one believes a pirate covered in rainbow vomit, that's why.

  You can get this awesome rainbow spewer from Weather or Not and this mermaid ensemble from Quaratine, both at the current Zombie Popcorn carnival.  You can wear the face paint from the WoN set by itself but you'll need a friend (or enemy?) if you want the rainbow puking action, since it takes two people to work.  The mesh mermaid tail from Quarantine only comes in one size so keep that in mind. 

   I know my pictures aren't that great this time but I had way too much fun taking these pics that I wasn't paying close enough attention to notice the flaws until after they were done.  Just trust me that everything is nice! xD
Worn:
Rainbow Spewer Set: !Weather or Not? @ Zombie Popcorn
Mermaid Tail (mesh), Shell Bra and Pose: Quarantine @ Zombie Popcorn
Hair: Clawtooth by Clawtooth @ Collabor88, 88L per color pack
Skin: Adore&Abhor, MySecondBox gift item (300L join fee, group joiner in store in case you can't fit it in search)
Additional Notes:
-The person with me in the pirate outfit is Alice Demonia.  I have no clue what she is wearing.
-There are some extra rainbow-y effects I added in the first photo post-process and I found them on Pixlr.

Road Trip Fail and Success

I have had this dress from Valentine E. for over a week now and haven't been able to blog.  I've had some time here and there to do it, that wasn't the problem; the problem was how I should do it.  I have seen other people make it look so glamorous and I know that I can't compete with that, being more of a kooky girl and less of a sophisticated fashionista. I didn't want to do my normal straight SL shot in front of a white wall thing because this dress screams a story that needs to be out of the box.  I felt like I was taking this dress on a trip around the grid searching for spots until I was just creatively broken down.  At that point I was at the Voc Linda sim and I saw this Winnebago and was like holy shit, that's perfect.  I put my av in a style that depicts a break-down, one wear you lose your heels and give up the glamor and just walk until you find what you need, as frustrating as it, much like my journey to get a picture I liked!

OK, sorry for the long rambling.  I had a lot of fun taking this picture once I got to this sim and had a location FINALLY.  If I didn't love this look so much I would have gave up long before and let my inventory absorb the items until they were never seen again, which happens to just about everything I buy, sadly. looool.  Anyway, this dress is only available right now at the current Chic Management event.  There are lots of colors available and it is sold in the mesh "standard sizing" options.  Please see the credits for the rest of the item details! :D
