I don’t do the “Come Hither” look very well.
But, somehow I still always manage to have JBF to fall back on……..
And how was YOUR long weekend?

****STYLE NOTES******
All Hairs are available @ Hair Fair. Some have been provided as promotional copies.
First……..the CHALLENGE.
Ok bloganistas…..I’m issuing you a challenge to get the hell out of your box and blog something that absolutely falls under the category of NON-TRADITIONAL BEAUTY. I totally want to see some of you blog ROBOBAMBIE by THE STRINGER MAUSOLEUM which you can find at the HAIR FAIR.
This is my #1 Favorite hair from the Fair and I’ll tell you why in a minute.
But first, I think that I want to lay out my rules for my challenge. THERE ARE NO RULES. I just want to see everyone wearing this hair. I want NOTHING BUT THIS HAIR ON THE FEEDS 24/7………ok ok ok maybe not. That’s a lot of robot hair. But I’m kinda dying to see what other people would do with it.
Me? I made a dress out of it.
Why?
Well that’s a funny story…..it goes like this. Continue reading

The FAUXHEMIAN Hair from [Curio] wins my hands down best hair name at this years HAIR FAIR. It made my short list of styles I HAD to have so I was pretty stoked to get it on and be a pretty girl in it.
But then, I couldn’t figure out what to wear. Continue reading
For SL Fashionistas, this weekend presents the beginning of an embarrassment of riches coupled with the opportunity to do good while looking good. Yes, there are three, three highly anticipated events that opened this weekend and two of them are fundraisers. One is Designers United, the sporadic exhibition of design focused on a single theme, another is Hair Fair, raising funds for Wigs for Kids, and the other is Project Donate, an emergency fundraiser for UNICEF and their program of flood relief for Pakistan. To visually demonstrate that all this activity should be embraced as a good thing, I put together an outfit featuring items from all three events.
In fact, I decided to take the idea of mixing up the events so far that the top I am wearing is part Designers United and part Project Donate. The upper portion comes from La Gyo’s Antique Tunic for Designers United and the bottom portion comes from Bublee Bing’s Inspired by Valentino dress for Project Donate. The skirt also comes from the Inspired by Valentino Dress

Do you ever just put together an outfit not really knowing where you are headed until you get there? I was planning to put together something to wear with some boots and look where I ended up today. I vaguely remembered a brown skirt I have, but could not recall the maker. After working my way through my Skirts/Brown/ folder and coming up empty, I thought I might check my Ivalde/L’Abel folder. Well, I still didn’t find what I was looking for, but was completely distracted by the awesomeness that is this fabulous brown pencil skirt from L’Abel. The blouse is also from L’Abel and has a ruffled peplum style bottom that I left off in order to wear it tucked in.
My exploring feet took me to Risk City this time – and what a fun place it is. There are several installations in Risk City, each a stand alone work of art. This one if Chocolate – and it’s as yummy looking as the name.
Life-Sized Candy Bars!!!
When I shared a picture of this sim on plurk, Gogo said, “it looks like Where’s Waldo?” and she’s right. You will be very lost in a cacophony of color and detail at the Lemondrops Forest sim. Still, you should go there and explore. It’s full of whimy and fun, though be careful about crossing the bridge into Poopsburgh where only poops are allowed.
My outfit for exploring was certainly whimsical and fit right into Lemondrops Forest. The top is from Apple May designs and flowed perfectly into the Bottle Bird Petal Skirt I was wearing. The skirt comes with the accompanying leggings which are adorable, though I would prefer the option to wear with leggings or with a short glitch pants. Still, it’s easy enough to make acceptable glitch pants when the skirt is a plain fabric like this.
Green is my favorite color. It’s a good thing because there’s so much green in the world with the grass and the leaves on the trees. I discovered that I need to live in a green environment after a short and unsuccessful move to Montana where I became so depressed that I began sleeping for hours and hours everyday. Taking my nephew on a college tour and showing him my alma mater (which he chose to attend) I came back to life and good cheer with an hour of entering the green grasslands that I love. I will never live in an arid place without lots of green again. I need green! And I really love green when it’s in an adorable little dress like this one from sen*2. It’s a little summer strapless sundress, but a nice cardigan dresses it up a bit.
So the other day my friend Hart Larsson of PXL Creations passed me a couple sweaters to try on and critique. He asked if I liked the colors and if the pois looked good. I asked “What’s pois?” Then I crashed before he answered.. or he crashed. I don’t remember. So…I googled it. You can google it, too. The first response in Google is Post Orgasmic Illness Syndrome. So I log back in with some ammunition to tease him, and ask “What’s pois?” again, but he explained quite simply that it’s those little dots and sure enough if you look in a French-English dictionary – it is a polka dot or dot. I took pity on Hart and didn’t ask him about Post Orgasmic Illness Syndrome after all.
You see, I got distracted by the details on the sweater – like the little tag sticking up on the back with the PXL logo on it. I actually said “Awwww, that’s so cute!” out loud, making my cat think I was talking to him and preen a little. Anyway, it’s an adorable sweater in a rainbow of colors. It has charming details and it has pois. In fact, there’s only one thing wrong with it – it’s for men. However, I don’t care. It fits me like a glove and I am going to wear it anyway. And, ladies, just so you know, one of my critiques was that Hart needed to add some lighter colors which he did later – after I shot these pictures. So now there’s a nice antique rose, a cornflower blue, a lovely beige – beautiful colors for women AND men.
The look I went for was pretty casual and I shot the pictures at The Mother Road – an homage to Route 66. However, I didn’t shoot on the highway this time, but walked a few blocks away from the road into the farmland that it crosses. Continue reading
Modern Gypsy’s Cerulean Mist dress is a dancing nebula of color – so I had to go to the nebula dance floor at Little Kasiopaya to take my pictures. The blend of blue, purple and silver is a cerulean celestial delight.
