This Isn't a Fashion Post

I was just hanging out at the Onyx Noir sim the other day (I have a small store there, plus the sim has Dilly Dolls main store on it, one of my fave stores in SL) and realized how adorable it is looking for the Halloween season.  I took some photos and thought, heck, might as well blog them.  I love how chaotic the area is, with the clashing textures, bright colors, oversize items, mismatched themes, etc.  It creates this atmosphere of mild insanity mixed with a cutesy attitude.

I love this giant Octopus!  Can I keep him? D:

All the small shops are in these wagons.  I think they are so cute and they add to the clash of themes that makes this place so fun.

Anyway, check out Onyx Noir HERE.  :D

Spot the Joker

I found this Catwoman costume from Beautiful Dirty Rich on Marketplace for only 99L and it screams naughty to me.  Well what is more naughty than hero knowingly seducing the villain while he should be on the job?  And hey, Catowman is hot enough where she doesn't need to stick with gloomy old Batman when there are other fine DC Comics men to be had. ;D

This outfit comes with costume in all clothing layers, tattoo layer mask with many options for makeup, hair base, etc., boots and claws in options for v1 and v2 based viewers, tail, ears and more!  Extremely great deal for only 99L.

Check out Superman's, A.K.A. Bouncer Criss's, blog HERE for details on his look!  His picture is way cooler than mine.

Miamai!

I was trying to put an outfit together for this fabulous hair from Miamai for over an hour. I have no idea how many things I tried on. When I was between outfits, nothing on but a red lipsticked skin, I thought "This is it. It doesn't need anything else." The hair would, of course, look amazing with gowns, slinky red carpet-worthy dresses, burlesque wear, various role play styles and much more; however, the style is so sophisticated, so well thought out, original but still with a classic feel, pretty much so flawless that you really don't want to focus on anything but the style.This style comes in options to be worn with or without the eye makeup. I am wearing the eye makeup from the "Lena" style, though this is the "Lenoira" style. The eye makeup for Lenoira has a more green/teal coloring.

Claws

Sometimes you start putting together an outfit with a specific look in mind and end up with something completely different; this is one of those outfits. I started off with a gown, a dark skin, long hair, ballet heels, etc. Somehow I ended up in claws and leather. Hey, I'm not complaining! xD

Whole Bunch of Awesome

Today I have a few wonderful things I would like to share. The main thing being the new skin, Yolande, from Adam N Eve. When I put it on I felt really...well..cool! I paired it here with one of the Hair Fair styles from BC322. Yay!Here I have paired the base skin with one of the hair styles from RezIpsa Loc. The style makes the skin seem sweet and natural, even if you wear the super cleavage. ;DI chose a few of my fave makeups from the skin line to share, two lipsticks and two eyeshadow styles, though there are many more offerings.Here I wanted to show the body because it's really nice! The body is much softer than some of the previous offerings from AnE. I especially love the booty!There are more tones available, including one that is very dark, which is kind of rare in SL. Each tone includes base skin, ten tattoo makeups, cleavage option, hair base tattoo option, and six mani/pedis to match the lip color options. Each tone is 1800L and with all the makeup combinations you get it's like an incredibly cheap fat pack!

She's a Maniac!

The new hair from Amacci turned out a bit different on my shape than I expected and the skin was a different tone than I expected...but how win is this look??Sometimes when you try different things you end up with something fun and different. So, Flashdance it up!! The hair has nice bounce and works well with a black hair base, though one isn't included. The skin has gorgeous lips. I don't wear pales this dark usually but the lips are just too wow.P.S.- Do you know the original version of the "maniac" song people always think of when they think of Flashdance was originally about a serial killer? The lyrics were something like "He's a maniac, maniac, at your door..." Just a random fact, haha.

The undies were from a lingerie set at Ingenue but are no longer available to my knowledge

New and Cheap and Awesome.

WOO! New L. Fauna release. :D More about that in a second. I wanted to quickly show this dress from AuTre. It's not a new release but it's on sale for 40L for a bit and I think it's a very under blogged, quirky, fun store. I also wanted to mention my awesome hair. It's from Exile at the Chic Birthday event. It has roots and streak options as well as plain.

Now onto the skin! This new line from L. Fauna is a bit softer than the last line and I really like that. The skin comes with tintable brows, freckle option and three cleavage options. There are many tones to choose from but here I am only showing the lightest, a medium tone and the darkest. I really like most of the tones. My only criticism for this line would be that the darkest tone seems to have a slight purple/blue sheen. I tried a few lighting settings and it was there but it may just be my screen.

Worn:
Skin: L. Fauna
Dress: AuTre
Stockings: Sheer
Shoes: Lassitude and Ennui
Hair: Exile @ Chic Birthday Event
Undies: The Obscene, free at one point so check out if it's still in the gift boxes

Shoe Fair Roller Derby

Um how awesome are these roller skates from Dilly Dolls? Pretty awesome I'd say. I would say I want them in RL but I would probably end up in a cast like my av here. I should also add that these awesome sauces are color change on every part via a hud and are the Dilly Dolls charity donation item. Get the Sn@tch knee pads too in case you are as clumsy as I am!

I'm a sucker for a sweet face

If you haven't been to the Skin & Shape Expo yet, well, why the hell not?! It closes on the 20th, so you need to get down there... yesterday!

Dany is the newest release from Adam n Eve (finished just in time for the sim opening!) and she is absolutely, positively worth braving the lag. I'm a sucker for a sweet face and Dany has one. She also has light brows which are perfect for those of us who wear silver, white, and even platinum blond hair.

She has a hot body and a rather cute dimples above her caboose.

The base skin is simply beautiful and would be enough for me, but she comes with a TON of options on the tattoo layer including 4 eye shadows, 6 lipsticks, different colored eyebrows, pubic hair, and hair bases (black, brown, red), manicures, and pedicures. The makeups are striking and there are options for every outfit. There are also cleavage options for those of you who use them (I don't.)

(clockwise from top left: base skin, base skin with freckles, base skin with black brows, base skin with brown brows)

(clockwise from top left: smoke makeup, dragon makeup, exotic makeup, pink glitter makeup)

(top row: shell lipstick, scarlet lipstick, middle row: nude lipstick, nutmeg lipstick, bottom row: rose lipstick, red lipstick)

Also available at the Skin & Shape Expo are the May Queen and Nymph facial tattoos. They're so pretty! (Note: these are NOT included in the Dany skin package.)

(Left column from the top down: May Queen Pink, Blue, and Green. Right column from the top down: Flower Nymph, Water Nymph, and Wood Nymph)

Seriously, de-prim and de-script and get your butt to the Adam n Eve booth at the Skin & Shape Expo. It's for a good cause!

Oh, and do me a favor? Cross your fingers that more makeups will be released for Dany. I want MORE MORE MORE!

First Round Of Shoes!

I have two pairs of shoes to show you to start off on my shoe fair posts. First up, TOSL. I didn't even bother demoing these because I knew they would be epic. I felt a retro housewife vibe from them so you see the lingerie and..oops! Dropped my spatula. ;D

Next are some fun boots from BottleBird. They are a bit tough with a high heel so I felt like stomping around on something...or someone. Teehee.

Both shops are on THIS sim.
Also Worn:
Lingerie and Stockings from Ooh LaLa

Well, They've Finally Locked Me Up.

OK, they didn't, even though some of you think they should. :P I just really, really like masks and straight jackets. Heck, bring on the restraints!

Male version coming soon apparently.

It's a Fantasy

I've been thinking about tolerance a lot lately, ever since there was an argument on Plurk centered around religious discrimination. I started to think how it would be great if we could all be the same and then stopped myself and realized that would not be great at all. The differences we have that make us unique are amazing and when people can agree to disagree and work together peacefully, well, that is truly beautiful. My dream, my fantasy, is for us all to better embrace our differences and focus on what makes us the same, how we can get a long, how much love we can give.

While that is not the sort of fantasy one would find at the Fantasy Faire, there is a lot of beauty, charity and many different themes all together in one place. There are items at the Faire to benefit Relay For Life, an organization that raises money for cancer research. Cancer is something that affects everyone, every race, every religion, every sexual preferences, every age. We all can suffer from it and we can all work together to try and find a cure. We are all human and in that word, human, there is pain, loss and suffering but there is also hope, love, compassion and beauty. Whether or not you come to the event to support charity or to buy gorgeous works of art to wear on your avatar, you will be surrounded by beauty and difference. Hopefully that will inspire you to be more positive and to try and full fill the fantasy of true peace in the world.

Punk'n

Everything here I am wearing is a gift of some sort. I just felt like posting on the blog instead of Free*Style because I have been posting there a lot lately and neglecting this one. Anyway, I love me some punk rock and when I saw these free tattoos with the injuries and this microphone I kept thinking of all the old school bands that got bottles tossed a them, rolling around in the glass, etc. So here you go!

The Muse

The Muse is one of the latest clothing releases from Violent Seduction. There are options for long gown skirts, exposed breasts, lolita skirt and tons more. I wore the shortest skirt option in order to show a tiny peek of the adorable bloomers below it.The skin is a new release from Tacky Star. It's hard to find a totally white skin in SL that doesn't look completely flat and they are great for doll avs! I wore an L. Fauna red lipstick tattoo over it because I just felt my creepy dolly lady needed a splash of blood red color.
