To Bloom Again

Even the most delicate of flowers can have thorns.

Pink? Flowers? It seems like this is a reoccurring theme, but I simple cannot resist. I got my hands on another unique dress from Zibska that simply called my name the moment I laid sight on it. Ninette comes in three colors (Fragola, Robin, Goldenrod) and includes unrigged accessories that feature delicate petals and lethal spikes. This makeup from White Widow went a bit too perfectly, if I do say so myself. It comes with five colors (Pink, Brown, Black, White, Gold) and appliers for mesh heads included. I felt as though something a bit more editorial was needed for this piece, so with one of my favorite Argrac hairstyles, I set out for the shoot.

Now for the credits.

Hands of Regrowth

The damage has been done, it is time to grow again.

One of the things things I really love about Aii, is the fact she is one of the few creators in Secondlife that creates strange and beautiful things. I'm completely honored to be able to blog and create art with her creations! Seeing as I have an affinity for eyeballs and plants, her Ivy Growth made me squee with absolute delight. The fact that she had matching animated mesh eyes made it even better! This strange and lovely ivy growth comes in four colors (Pink, Gold, Violet, & Red), a glowing version using a subtle light, and animated eyes in the flowers. The pasties are unrigged mesh while the facial/neck piece is rigged mesh. Her Youkai animated mesh eyes feature a pulsing pupil, a glow option and come in seven colors (Crimson, Gold, Green, Ice, Pinku, Purple, & Teal). the multitude of extra arms are also from Aii, and are rigged mesh with single pair options and UV maps included, so you can retexture them to match perfectly.

Now this skin is a recent release from cStar Limited, her name being Angie. She's a fresh and lovely face with little makeup, a soft beautiful body with fine details, and uniquely colored features on each skin tone. Oh also, she comes in 140 (Yes, one hundred and forty) skin tones! She currently is available in gacha to play, but there is a reseller vendor you can look through to see if someone sold back your desired tone. If not, you can always trade with other cStar fanatics.

Disgraced Dolly

+Blue Blood+ came out with another adorable mesh dolly dress the other day and I just had to show it off, and since it is Breast Cancer awareness month I decided to brave pink again for the occasion.

The beautiful PinkHunt skin I snagged from the warehouse sale of retired skins that cStar had for it's Platinum members goes so beautifully with the pink dress. Cute Poison has me being a total sucker for piercings with all of the different ones she has out in her store, and since I am weird about my neck/chest on my avi these are a great addition to my inventory (Especially with all the mesh outfits coming out). I have to have something on my neck/chest area on my avi, be it a shirt that comes all the way up to cover it or just my sweet tattoos or simply a necklace, and since many necklaces hide beneath mesh shirts and such, these piercings give me my comfort zone back simply and easily.

Cupcake Cutie

If you know me on SL you know my current display name has been Cupcake for quite sometime now, this goes back about a year and a half to a joke on my SL derby team and to make it a short story, I refused to wear the halo to show what "team" I was on in practice and put a squeaking cupcake on my head instead. Needless to say the name has stuck with me and my obsession for all things cupcake has only gotten worse overtime. I now insists on making cupcakes for everyone IRL whenever I have a good excuse, and I now own a giant cupcake cake pan so even when people want a cake, they still get a huge cupcake to share. So yes I admit I am a little obsessed with cupcakes. My friend Skyler of Pins & Needles asked me how much I though she should price her shirts she just made since I am a shopaholic  even if it is window shopping half the time. After a few questions to figure out what type of shirt it was she got fed up and just sent me her ad picture. I squeaked and almost offered her my soul right then, but then she decided that 100L$ for the fatpack and 35L$ for the shirts individually. These shirts are a total steal at that price! (Shh don't tell her I said that she might change the price.) But they fit my obsession and make a totally adorable outfit come to life!

I also found myself back at The Knitting Circle Rummage Sale today and well let's just say I was reminded why I love Pink Fuel and defiantly can't figure out why I had forgotten about the store, especially since one of my all time favorite skins is from there. (That favorite skin is called Spotted Love and is on sale at The Knitting Circle Rummage Sale in the Pink Fuel booth for only 50L$ and will probably be retired forever afterwords so go grab it quick!) Top off the pretty skins I found in the Pink Fuel booth with the ADORKABLE I <3 cuppycakes pose prop pack and I found myself in cupcake heaven!

Cutie Pie

Today has been one of those days where you just want it over so you can wake up on the right side of the bed tomorrow. So to try and cheer myself up I splurged and bought L$ again to go try and claim some of the stuff from The Arcade that I still wanted, as well as hit up .ploom. for some new hair and Epic for the VIP Gifts that came out this month. Once my brain settled down, and I had spent all the L$ I was allowing myself to (Have to keep a stash for all the pretty cStar Releases), and saw all the adorableness that I had collected I decided to brave pink again and be a cutie pie.

The Varsity Jacket with the adorable Strawberry Cupcake on it called my name from first glance! There was no way I was passing this jacket up, even though it is pink. Since the gatchas at The Arcade all decided that pink was my color this was almost too easy to do. The mouse ears just added to the enchantment, and the "FABULOUS" ring brought a much needed smile to my face. Gotta love how fashion and blogging is the perfect cure to many ailments.
