LIKE, WHATEVER

I was a little 80's inspired after the release of Truth's new hairstyle, Quinn. I've been looking for a side ponytail that I could love, and now I have. It's quirky and adorable, just like the Luck Inc. tank dress I'm wearing. This girl is a sucker for skulls with bows.

PINUP GHOUL

SL photography is one my hobbies, so instead of a LOTD I'm posting a photo series I did, combining two things I love - pinup and campy horror. The poses are from the Pin Up Ghoul set from Olive Juice. I picked these up at Horrorfest around Halloween time, and they are so cute, in the "I eat brains" kind of way ;)

NOT FORGOTTEN

Whew! It's been forever since I've posted, but I have not abandoned the blog. It has just been a crazy RL and I've recently attained some new responsibilities in world. Hopefully I'll have some details about that soon!

MAKING MONSTERS

I am a huge EBM fan and I'm very excited about Combichrist's new album Making Monsters. So I'm representin' with my CC tshirt from GROWL. They have a huge selection of unisex band shirts that are really good quality. Textured with wrinkles and details like fading on the band logos.

TIPS & TRICKS: SKIRT SHAPE

Skirt shapes! You need them! Ever wonder why your butt looks HUGE when wearing a system skirt? Well it's because the mesh sits above your shape instead of laying on top like shirts and pants. Never fear, you don't have to give up your pencil skirts and wiggle dresses. All you have to do is make a separate shape for when you wear a system skirt. This also works well for maxi dresses if you are a avie of a more voluptuous shape (like me). This way your hips wont stick out so much through the prim pieces and you wont have to do so much resizing.

Miko Omegamu of the vintage boutique *ICING* has a fantastic tutorial on how to perfect your system skirt shape here.

RETROESQUE

Woo! Two posts in a row featuring great jeans, and these are very much the opposite of the skinny ones from last. The Nora Jeans from LeLutka are absolutely fantastic. Great texture and I love the super wide flare. It's matched with the top part of Hucci's Shayla dress. It's a great cut and I think has the same retro flavor to go with the jeans. Now the shoes. THE SHOES! I had to take my pants off so you could see them, ha! These are the [Gos] Platform Pump, and I love them. And you should too. You know why? Aside from them being super sexy the black patent leather ones than I'm wearing are an exclusive special offer on Xstreet for $100L! Normally priced $295L. They're totally scripted but they fit perfect out of the box. You also have the ability to change your metal and wear it with or without the strap.
