It’s 11:00 and what are you doing? Well, if you go to the FAIR event, you are drinking tea in this rich brocade tea dress from 22769. The dress is a rich scarlet with a chic, modern folded bodice of silk moire. Its modern styling and traditional fabrics make a great mix of old and new.
When I unpacked the gorgeous vintage-styled Vale dress from Donna Flora, I knew I wanted to style myself completely in black and white. A noir avatar in a pixel world. The effect was a fun combination of chic and shriek that had me heading to Silent’s haunted house for some pictures. The dress is a classic fitted bodice with a tulip skirt. Its most vintage elements come from the bolero jacket with the wide rounded lapels and the puffed shoulders. The floral corsage pin adds a bit more retro styling.
Cinema is officially open today!
I was a bit bored of my normal compilation posts, so I braved the grid and went “on location” today to show you a couple more of my favorite Cinema finds.

This entire shot is inspired by Alice Project’s new “Willow” hair at the Cinema event. I LOVE windblown styles; in fact, I even have a special “Windblown” section of my inventory’s hair folder. This hair is gorgeous, and comes with the standard HUD jam-packed with lots of color options and infinite customization.
I knew I wanted to use this hair for a windy, rainy shot, so I put out the call to my ever-knowledgeable Plurk friends for a good rainy location. The Cupcake sim has a small rainy section, and the “old Parisian” feel is perfect for this new bustier dress by Perception, also available at Cinema.
Finally, though you might have to look closely to notice, I’m wearing Slink’s new mesh hands. They’re fabulous!
More highlights from Cinema coming in future posts. I hope you’ve already had a chance to check it out this afternoon. If not, run! Go!

As I’m sure you know, the Cinema event opens tomorrow, and I hope you’re excited as I am!
The build for Cinema is probably the best I’ve ever seen, and you can grab the goodies above for free!
Just for a little sneak peek, I wanted to highlight some of the “casual wear” items I snagged. (Stay tuned for others in another post!)
First up is this layered sweater/shirt combo from Auxiliary. I’m really loving plaid shirts for fall, and for Cinema you can get this one with a creepy zombie scene on the sweater!
Auxiliary also released special Cinema versions of the cute Bunneh Hoodies currently at Collabor88. These Cinema hoodies come in a variety of shades and have sugar skull bunnies on the front. Love!
Next up is this outfit from Pink Outfitters. The shirt and pants come with both clean and bloody versions (clean shown here, obviously). I love good wardrobe staples like this, and I’ll be pairing these jeans with boots for Fall! (And…oops, my eyes are closed here.)
Last but not least, check out these chevron jeans from Evolve. I’m a little obsessed with chevron prints, and I love the muted multi-tones on these. I don’t have any other printed jeans in my inventory, so these are a welcome addition!
Count your lindens, throw on your no-lag event clothes, and get ready to click “teleport” – Cinema is coming!
