A plurk conversation yesterday sparked a conversation where Photos Nikolaidis declared that EVERYONE SHALL WEAR PIPES tomorrow. It was then decided it’d be Pipes with no Panties.

So then, here you go.

My idea for this pic was “Wearing his shirt and holding his pipe, wishing he would come home.”

A friend game me my initial letter for Christmas, so I had to take it out for a spin. It seems just camp enough for this fun little outfit I put together with the new bodysuit from Chantkare and the mesh mini from Mon Tissu.

I added the fun TokiDoki heels from the Seasons Gatcha. By the way, instead of fretting that you will double up on a few gatcha items, think of it as gift shopping. Save those duplicates in a folder labeled Gifts so you don’t forget about them and when birthdays and holiday roll around, you will have some lovely gifts at hand ready to give.

The top part of the bodysuit also comes in that iconic color combo of black, red and cream that is absolutely gorgeous. Green, though, is my favorite color so of course, I could not resist.

I added earrings and a necklace from Mandala and my hair is a favorite style from Truth named Magenta.

The fab makeup is from Tres Blah also for the Seasons Gatcha. She’s offering unreleased, soon to be retired versions of Hiccup, a fabulous skin she released at Designers United’s Vaudeville collection. I fell in love with that skin and have worn it many times, so I was thrilled to discover new makeups.

Valentine’s Day is coming. Yes You heard me and it’s not even February. However, I think it’s important to note that if you’ve got a special someone it’s not too soon to start planning.

First of all, I’d like to point out that getting married or partnered or engaged etc on major holidays is a terrible idea because if it goes poorly in the end you’ve tainted the day for future loves. So SCRAP that.

But gift giving? Awesome gift giving? That works. And one of my favorite jewelers is TRANS which makes her stuff perfect for giving presents. I’m talking of course about DONNA FLORA who makes pieces ranging from the practical to just insanely opulent, so there is something for every girl’s taste.

Personally I’m a huge fan of sets, rings, necklaces, earrings etc that all coordinate. It doesn’t mean I’ll wear them all together always, but it always feels like more bang for my pixel buck.

Another thing I love, and script haters be damned, are texture change options. This Elisa set comes loaded with several stone options so you get more use out of your jewelry. Just put on the hud and VOILA pick your new stones.

Gogolita has also done an AMAZING collage of some of the offerings at Donna Flora over on JuicyBomb if you would like a look at what else she has to offer.  I am such a fan of this store, everything she makes causes my inner girl to squeal.

And my outer girl too.

Now – boys, go buy your girls some jewelry. DO IT.

My morning started simple enough, I thought I’d blog a dress that I had hung on my dressing room wall months ago, as decoration. I’d kind of forgotten it was a dress. But upon looking at it, I wasn’t sure it’d fit. Maybe Gidge had gained weight…

But once I got it on, it fit like a glove to I set out to do some exploring. I landed in a world where the contents of a giant handbag had been dumped all over the ground and a note was left there….so of course I had to see if something was amiss with the compact…

I found myself falling through space rather disconcertingly.

I landed in a world without color just shades of grey.

But I kept on, wondering what I might find next.

Despite conventional wisdom, I DID go into the light.

I landed in a magical fairy forest of glittering lights and giant, kindly grasshoppers who didn’t seem to have any malice of intent as I wandered through their land snapping pictures like a tourist. I couldn’t help but jump through the next door then to see what was next.

Which was probably my mistake…

Cajsa informed me, upon seeing this styling, that I looked like I was about to go TP the principals house. I suppose this might be true, I’m wearing the really youthful Piper skin from Adam n Eve and the quirky twisty braids from dDX are definitely hipper than I am.
