This one's for Shelly, Sanura, and ChatBrat

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.

The slurls below are for the donation shops. The sim has a central landing point, but use the red arrow to navigate to the shop. Happy shopping!

There is an alphabet blogger challenge going on right now and the letter I ended up with is D!

There's a lot of love in this post. You may get some on you.

Sophia my love, where have you been all my life? You are gorgeous and you make me feel beautiful.

Yeah, I've got a serious love thing for the new line of dark skins from Adam n Eve. They're my absolute favorite skins to date. There are 4 tones available from a buttery toffee to a deep, dark chocolate, all of which are expertly made and absolutely beautiful. (This is tone 3.) There's an awesome selection of makeups and I love them all, which *never* happens. (My weaknesses are natural skins and skins with red red lips, and this skin has both!)

I also love my Clawtooth hair, and this Haven Designs dress I picked up a few weeks ago, and this dainty jewelry from Monkee and... and... Yeah, I'm just in love with everything.

Hair: Clawtooth by Clawtooth - Sugar Biscuit

The Alternative Fair is Open!

...and this is just one of the many fantastic items that can be found there.

Goth1c0 is new to me, but I have the feeling we're going to be great friends very soon. I love this suit, especially the jacket. I'll be wearing it for a while... while I shop for more stuff at Goth1c0.
Get yourself to the Alternative Fair. There are 4 sims and over 50 content creators involved. There's bound to be something there for everyone, so buy up the donation items. It's for a good cause.

I'm Wearing:
[Suit] Goth1c0 - Vampire in Love (slurl is to their booth on the Snatch City sim)
[Shoes] House of Curios - Leather Loafers
[Necklace] MONKEE - Orbital Velocity
[Watch] MONKEE - Leather Strap Series - No 001

[Poses] Long Awkward Pose - M-Blogger8 and M-ModelBoy1

I clean up nice, I think.

I've let myself get so casual in SL, forgoing dresses in favor of jeans and tee shirts or hoodies with sneakers. I'd almost forgotten how much I like to dress up.

The Weston Swishy Skirts from Vanita's Vesture are hands down one of my favorite pieces in SL. They're fantastically made, and I love how they lay and how they move. I paired it with one of the new Fling blouses from Sn@tch, which is just so pretty in a rich purple.
Speaking of purple, the jewelry I'm wearing is today's 69L item from [Monkee] (formerly DM Designs.) It's a total steal at that price, and worth picking up if you haven't already. (It'll be out until Thursday morning.)

The Rebekah heels from Nardcotix may be my new favorite pair of shoes. I wear them as often as I can, frequently pairing them with lingerie when I go to work at RD. They're simple, elegant, perfect.

Well, that's enough babbling for now. I'm off to stare at my swishiness.
