slafety blanket

i'm realizing that in the event of a fashion writers block i can always go to my *sisters* folder and find inspiration. i will *never* get tired of the cute that comes out of this. and i finally managed to hit the quadfecta the other day while shopping, i glimpsed ALL FOUR sisters in their native sl fashion habitat, looking adorable and oozing love, of course.

the eyelashes. always with the eyelashes. this is a viewer issue i saw before the jira votey thing supposedly fixed it and the skin/hair related problems. i just noticed it again when i bought a pack of skins that highlighted the screwiness and clumpy-looking phantom eyelashes that appear with some skins. once i saw that, i started trying on other skins, switching shapes, whatever basic things to rebake and such, got a whole bunch of advice from random friends and strangers, and none of it has worked. the most helpful thing said was that i shouldn't worry about it because it's only me noticing it. but srsly. that's the ONLY thing that matters. *I* notice it. and it drives me crazy the entire time i'm logged in. 

anyway, i won an amazing set of sanu's new jewelry, the avalon set in elaborate form! all i had to do was try my luck scooting around the store looking for the one-time hidden candies, the hidden items change with each new release and someone gets lucky, but it was never me before yesterday! this is what prompted my anger with the eyelashes, because i want to take close ups of the nose-stud, and...well i'm growing ever pickier and more detail oriented as my fashion studies continue in this pixel world. anyway, you can clearly see how gorgeous the Sanu jewels are, despite my ongoing battle with snapshots and in-world appearance editing. 

my avatar is having a tantrum in some of these pictures because of the eyelash shit!$&

double, double, toil and trouble.

second life is nothing but trouble. i'm dealing with some viewer issues that are driving me nuts and no one seems to have the answers for or a fix to them. *kicks SL in its nuts*

was at the clothes fair snooping out more great RFL vendors and i came across this skully mini dress from Luck Inc. which i paired with the freebie skully tat from Bleeding Ink Tattoo (B.I.T.)

and the latest release from House of Curios (HOC), these color change grungy/beat-up boots for only 40L! also all free to me are the SLink lucky chair batty skin, this batwing witch hat from Curio Obscura, once lucky chair hair from MiaSnow called Wild Woman, and a witch broom from Little Heaven's chairs, all dated Halloween of last year and probably not still available. 

i can has generic emo boy avatar?

YES. 

dress me up in women's clothes.

messed around with gender roles.

dye my eyes and call me pretty.

i mused over why i wanted this Pretty Ugly male skin from the MM. finally decided so many men cross dress on here, why shouldn't i give it a whirl the other way around? and i got my answer why. cuz manvatars are BORINGGGGGG. still, i'd do me.

RFL keeps giving me good excuses to spend money in world. The latest example would be this amazingly queer pink Derby Girl outfit from Katat0nik, on sale for 350L at the Fashion Expo at Kat's installment. This set is for team Pink Taco, although there is also an equally gay offering for Team Khorndog. There's a bunch of rainbow/pride/queer stuff coming out for Second Life Pride purposes, which is not only inspiring but also snarky! Worth mentioning are the offerings from a couple other vendors, like Figure 8, who are sharing a rainbow lego-link bracelet and a tee that says "Straight But Not Narrow" for only 8L (also shown on Free*Style by Miss Casia.) Today I also received a notecard for more snark, this time from Nomine, who have rainbow skins for free in the new releases section as well as another tee, this one says "Not gay as in happy, but queer as in FUCK YOU." Slowly, but surely, the internet is becoming an OK place to be gay. 

"...Pink triangle on her sleeve, let me know the truth."

(sorry, i dunno why this youtube video is....so gay, for lack of a better term.)

free mustache rides can always be had at starlust on the carousel.

blood, lines, etc.

it started innocently enough. i was in my corsets folder finding something to matchy matchy with the wide range of patchwork colors in this Rag Kitty outfit (including rad tail!) from Bitch Tail, which was on a MM that someone at a board i was at was wearing. got that? the outfit has since changed but i had to have this colorful bit of raggedy goodness. i pulled up selena's Sasquatch Bloody Corsets folder, also once a MM, and w00t for color matching with the green. well a little blood on the top had to be explained visually with blood on the skin so i ended up back at MiaSnow's Bloody Pleasure 4, once a chair item i believe, but still on sale for really reasonable skin prices, and so much original art put into each unique set. then it gets messy.

you all know i kind of hop manically around the grid freebie and chair stalking. i use my own sidebar (yes, i made my own page my jump off) to keep up with chronologically organized free blog postings and a couple random friends blogs. so i was amidst a post on Ashia's Inventory Episode blog where she found a super smexeh black outfit for free at a new store Anik:Anarchy.  I hopped over to compulsively grab up this freeness and boom! MORE BLOOD ON THE WALLS!!!! for 10L i could somehow completely rationalize buying a bloody nose bandage, knee bandages, and the prim blood drip for my avatar nose you see pictured with the raggedy ness. all wrapped up perfectly in Pru's Patchwork Bloody Skybox also from a lucky chair. also wearing Catnip Dirty Suckerpunch Arm Bracers. hair is Kawaii in Red E from Magika. and more House of Ruin eyes...they are the BADDEST ASS. lucky chairs and freebies...i'm telling you...."I'm so obsessed that I'm becoming a bore."

i would venture a guess this is what a ton of second lifers end their saturday nights looking like. 

she's a star

i get this kind of manic sensation listening to james. it's that timeless epic britpop that only gets better with age and the nostalgia factor is strong with this one. 

she's been in disguise forever

much brighter than all this static

now she's coming through

since i haven't even tried photoshop, i have yet to fail at that. in the meantime i blatantly stalk other bloggers posts for good places in world to take my crummily simple snapshots. yesterday Miss Trickett posted from a new to me sim called Error and naturally i rushed over to survey the landscape. and damn, is it lovely! it reminds me of coastal maine for some reason. i think i like it when land owners/designers leave the ground as water textures, as it renders the surroundings surreal but beachy at the same time.

I'm helping to paint the grid parple, in Dream's Parple Dress from Sisters. I was helped along with the parpling by Inorite who sent out a subscribo gift of ten plus hairs all in this lush deep purple. Butterfly hair clip was once a group gift from Swallowtail who also made this lovely matching necklace. Shoes change between 30 different colors in a HUD and they're from Schadenfreude. This latest group gift from Cupcakes has all tones including sambuca as shown with a pale green/purple combo makeup. Had major fun setting up chairs and stuff in this skybox from Prudence's Patchwork lucky chair, there's three skyboxes to be had!

I'm not clear on *why* purple was selected to show solidarity in the fight against cancer but it is a lovely color which I have officially granted favorite status, and I guess it beats wearing ash grey like the inside of my lungs from smoking.
