Well vacation is over, time for me to get back to blogging and I have to say I fell in LOVE with this look I assembled right before I left and couldn't wait to show it off. It was getting to be one of those times where my creativity was waning, but the Nu-Coven Gacha from Cute Poison and Kenvie put that spark back and I think I made it grow into a nice little flame for now.
Sadly thanks to RL events, this post has been more delayed than I planned and I don't have much to say. So, I will let the picture do the talking since tonight is your last change to go grab the base outfit of this look at the event and it is totally worth grabbing.

I can't tell if it's just that time of year, or if the glowing orange light effects dug into my brain and planted the idea, but either way I am feeling a bit orange, and I just thought I would share.
Time for my little bit of tradition. As I have the past many years, I joined in on the fun that is the Fallen God and Goddess Election that Fallen Gods puts on every year about this time to celebrate their time spent in SL. Sunday kicked off the festivities and voting has opened in the election. This year was a bit of a recreation from past ideas merged into one and shoved down the path my imagination wanted to take it. I found myself mixing a bit of Disney's Hercules with some Harry Potter magic, and while it wasn't where I saw myself going in the beginning, I am glad it is where I landed. So without further ado I give you my entry before I go back to pimping the contest!
Please go check out all the wonderful photos the Fallen Gods community has created to celebrate this awesome store that is a pillar of the role-play community her in SL. Join the Fallen Gods group and vote for your favorites, *cough*mine*cough*. While you are there check out all the other events and goodies that are out to celebrate. There are prizes, deals, and steals galore all waiting for you to come socialize and claim.

Sometimes a look just calls my name and urges me to put it together. That happened Friday while I was at work and was looking at Facebook and Plurk to get me through the day. I found the various pieces through somewhat random posts and they just started to assemble themselves in my head. I buckled down and assembled them and found the time around weekend chores and responsibilities to to polish the look with a custom pose and now it is time to release her too the world, hopefully I wasn't you she wanted to off...

So I saw the tails and ears that Cubic Cherry has released for The Gacha Garden and I was instantly in love. Needless to say I got a little carried away with "just a couple plays" (this is why I try to avoid Gacha events x.x') and ended up accidentally getting the Seed of Inspiration. Well once I had it I had to play with it and my inner Kitsune came out to play.

So most of the reason it has taken me all month to get this post done is because I was moving. Every weekend has included moving activities from packing, to physically moving, to cleaning up the old place so we didn't lose the deposit and the weekdays in between working and settling in. But I'm finally all moved and had the time to finish up the pose and picture taking so I can finally fully show off my latest twist of my imagination.
I may have gotten a wild Kaylith-like hair up my butt, but I still have to say I enjoyed creating this look. The shoes started me down this path and the headdress just kind of carried me over the edge.

So I was getting a totally Andy Warhol Pop Art vibe when I saw this new Tank Top set from Sn@tch and well I just had to play with it. I have to say I think my creation is freaking ADORABLE and I can't hardly stand to take it off. I think the hardest part was choosing which color tank to pick, but the PANK lips from Zibska made it for me demanding pink be the accent color and allowing blue to do the heavy lifting. Any which way most of my inspiration came form new items at The 100 Block so go check it out, and don't forget to cast your vote in the photo contest while you are there!

Did I ever mention I love green? Because I do. If it wouldn't annoy everyone enjoying my stream, I would do a lot more. This dress from Zibska caught my eye and lead to a style that came together quite quickly. The boots and hair came quickly, which by the way I love the hell out of this bob and the ability to have it two tone! Makeup came next with a gorgeous new lipstick from Zibska and one of her eyeshadows, both currently at The 100 Block. She offers a fatpack option to get all of the makeup she has out in one swoop, with a nice saving. Now the eyebrows are not actually two toned, I photoshopped one to convey a point in my work, but those are tattoo eyebrows from TSG that come in handy. I'm unsure if they're still available! Then of course, because I am a freak, I had to have my demon paint, a black choker, and green goat eyes. To finish it off, I had to have a pose as equally odd.
I've had this jewelry set for some time and have been meaning to blog it, but I just didn't get around to it. now that I've taken a step back from many of my sponsors, I can focus solidly on that which inspires me. This lovely set from Finesmith did just that! Galactic comes with a headpiece (not shown), a tiara, a necklace, earrings, and a ring. I decided to keep the style simple... super simple, by doing an artistic nude. I used this gorgeous long style from Little Bones in her Gossamer pack, which are gorgeous pastels with dark roots. They matched perfectly! As for makeup, I went with soft, shimmery makeup from Zibska, eyeliner from cStar, and nails from A:S:S. Noteably the eyeshadow from Zibska is included in the makeup fatpack she has out for The 100 Block. You can get all of the makeup she has out in one fatpack, for a deal! To give emotion to the style, I used some tintable tattoo eyebrows. I couldn't find any poses weird enough for the concept in my head, so I made my own.
Back in December I was invited to join in on a 'Who Wore It Better' style challenge for Eclipse magazine. Bloggers went up against certified models in styling three different items with three different looks. I was up for the challenge and joined up to have some fun! With each look I styled according to the vibe I got of the item, then made my custom pose to accentuate it. With hard work and some finishing touches, all three of my looks came out on top! You can read the issue here and see the results here. Thank you Eclipse Magazine for having me!!

This one is particularly special. It has a far deeper meaning with heavy symbolism in the details. The color choices are that of what I have seen in recent lucid dreaming, as well as a bit of color blocking while still keeping it within the alternative realm. As for the set I delved into creating a little abstract world around the inspirations of the style, but keeping hard edges rather than many soft curves.
I have to say I'm really loving the Chromatic color pack from Little Bones, especially with this particular style. The way the highlights and lowlights sit is very pretty and the quality of this mesh is just gorgeous. Viola includes three standard sizes and an option for the pigtails to be in front, or down the back. For my style I went with primarily work from Zibska, mostly because we all know how obsessed I am with her work. I found that the jacket from her Hillevi set blended well with the shorts from her Renee set, but I could be biased since I like high waist shorts. However the look needed something, but not quite a shirt beneath the jacket for the vibe I was feeling. This tattoo from Letis Tattoo called to me and sat so lovely over the bust and just between the pigtails without being overbearing. As for cosmetics, I went with a blue and black eyeshadow, orange lips, and a yellow lip stripe (all from Zibska) to mimic the coloring of the hair and tie in the jacket. As for eyebrows though, I initially had blonde eyebrows, then black, but neither were sitting right with me. I decided to go out on a limb and use a tattoo layer eyebrow, tint them, then photoshop them a bit to get the exact look I wanted (sorry about that).

I've noticed in my photos I almost always have black or blonde hair, the rare exception being red or some sort of vibrant color, but I never really play with brown hair. So with different shades of brown in mind, I decided to style something different. What I ended up with is something with a touch of boho, a touch of higher fashion, and touch alternative with hint of black.
Just remember: Not all who wander are lost.
It's nearly time for the Skin Fair! Are you excited? Well, I certainly am. Joli will have this gorgeous skin line available at Skin Fair 2016. If you know me, you know that my base skin is always Joli. I'm blown away with this new line, I am loving the shading on the face, the shape of the lips, and the eyebrows. There are a total of 10 tones, each having 5 eyebrow options except for Alabaster, Vampire, and Cafe, which only have 3 eyebrow options; all skins have two cleavage options. The skins come with 10 lipgloss options and some eyeliner options, with system layers, TMP, and Omega appliers included. For the skin there are a ton of appliers included for most mesh bodies, an eyebrow shaper, and a modfiable shape for Maitreya. All of this while not breaking the bank! I decided to keep my style simple to show off the beauty of this skin, so for makeup I used the eyeliner and lipgloss included. For my outfit, I wanted something simple but tastefully sensual. I went with a rope harness I got a long while ago, and a fur stole from Aii! Little Bones had the perfect playful, sexy hair that gave attitude to this simple styling.
The event I've been impatiently waiting is finally here! Multiverse is open until the 15th and is packed full of cyber fashion goodies and all sorts of goodies that come to mind when you think of your favorite Sci-Fi media. As soon as I saw the skin Soul was releasing and the cybernetic arm from SWaGGa I KNEW exactly what direction to take with my styling.
But of course you cant stop there. Where there is latex around I will play and MV never ceases to amaze me with the detail in their texture work. And of course no look is complete without accessories and the perfect nail polish, yes I know I have a nail polish problem don't judge, so I had to compleate the look with one of the most perfectly cyber eye pieces I have ever seen from HopScotch and the beautiful polish form Konfin Nails.

So, Titzuki made something that was translucent plastic and in my favorite color. It's needless to say whether or not I bought it, rather I am SO IN LOVE WITH IT!! The Medusa collar and Olympus set come in 5 colors with 2 bonus colors only included in the fatpack. My favorite color, this gorgeous chartreuse, is one of them. For my styling I delved into my folders of old items and found this catsuit. Sadly it's not available anymore, but I couldn't resist it! These boots from Plastik fit too perfectly in my opinion. For hair I went to Boon, then for makeup I used a combination of Zibska and Nuuna, with hand tattoos being from Plastik.
So, I've been hard core M.I.A. The reason? I got a new job in the RL film industry and it's had me incredibly busy. I'm not entirely sure how much time I will have for blogging, but now and then when I have some time (like today) I'll be putting out posts. This one, as you can see, is inspired by the dangerous act of sword swallowing! Why is it so dangerous? Well, the esophagus is curved, not straight. So when someone swallows a sword, it straightens the esophagus out and comes within inches of the heart, one wrong move and the swallower is dead. But why am I making a post about it? Well, one because I can, two because I love the act, and three, the 27th of February is National Sword Swallower's Day! So this is my way of celebrating.

So I saw the new Genie Jewelry set from Plastik and was instantly in love. And of course it lead me down an old path being the 90's kid that I am and I couldn't get the song out of my head until I styled towards it. So whoever let the genie out of her lamp might want to appease her before they try and get her to go back in...
