The Dark One

Just because she wore black

and conjured flames

didn't mean she was

inherently

evil

well......

not all the time

I love this dress from The Plastik that was out for FLF, the dress is a huge mix and match which is awesome. Some poses make my shoulders poke through though but I can cope with that!
The chain is also from FLF by Noodles, I love Nat's stuff!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Be it tattoos, body modification, implants, no one can define your beauty.

Legs

Legs.

That's what they called her.

Legs.

In Venice, the beautiful city, the sinking city.

How would she have known that a masquerade would be formal? Black and white yes, but formal?

Straightening her tuxedo jacket she tottered away in the hope of a gondola spotting her.... yet this late in the afternoon in the backwater alleys she had to keep walking.

With a sigh she carried on, her head held high, and walked towards the Campanile de San Marco and prayed she remembered the winding route to her hotel.
She was sure it was around here somewhere...

This lovely tuxedo jacket (and dress) is a free group gift, I love the design of it and it teamed perfectly with the necklace I wanted to blog (also a cheapie).
A few points to make about the dress, however, be aware it only comes in three sizes, considering it's free there's no need to demo but it's disappointing if you really like it and it won't fit your shape.
Another point, the rigging is good however in certain poses my arms do poke through the sleeves and the padded shoulders aren't complimentary for the more energetic poses.

Oh dear dear Captain, shooting a man in the middle of his cadenza? That ain't good form, you know
- Mr. Smee, Peter Pan

This dress is PERFECT for Mr. Smee, it incorporates the stripes AND the red of his red hat, can't get any better!

Smee is such an underrated character, the sidekick of the baddie, who probably doesn't even want to be on the team in the first place but his mummy made him go play

Disneybound - Aladdin and Jasmine

Oh, sure. People who tell you where to go and how to dress.

That's better than here. You're always scraping for food and ducking the guards.

You're not free to make your own choices.

Sometimes you feel so...

You're just...

...trapped.

- Jasmine and Aladdin, Aladdin

I wanted to have a more intimate pose for Aladdin and Jasmine however couldn't find someone to pair up with me so I did it alone!

Aladdin is my favourite film, I always felt that I was that diamond in the rough...

Disneybound - Peter Pan

She also said she would give him a kiss if he liked, but Peter did not know what she meant, and he held out his hand expectantly.
 "Surely you know what a kiss is?" she asked, aghast.
 "I shall know when you give it to me," he replied stiffly, and not to hurt his feeling she gave him a thimble.

~ Peter Pan, J. M. Barrie

The style minions have a blogger challenge and I'm slow on the band wagon. Disneybound is where people style their clothes around Disney characters, I'm playing catch up
Week 1 was Peter Pan

I love Disney, I love anything Disney related though in all honesty I can't abide Peter Pan!
I went to Disneyland with my sister and cousin, we wanted autographs and true to Peter's form he didn't stand still long enough to sign everyone's autograph books upsetting a few children.... and me!

Inventory Spring Cleaning

I'm spring cleaning my inventory so I'm blogging something old and new and things in between!

 This first dress is a lovely coldLogic new release along with an oldish new release from Magika, I adore this hair, I don't think I wear short often enough!

I'm quite glad that some of Magika's styles don't suit me otherwise I'd own the whole shop because the work put into the hair is seriously amazing!

It's beginning to look a lot like.....

Christmas!!!!

And boy can you feel the chill in the air!!

This stylish ensemble probably wasn't a great idea for this weather, especially considering my little cottage is snowed in!

So I decided to warm up a bit in my new sweater (tulip) and scarf (pesca) from the arcade

I have to say, I love this skin I got from the Arcade it's the skinnery and it's called winter and I love the pink nose and cheeks, I wore it with MONS sunny smoke eyeshadow (from the new dressing room fusion)

A mexican winter

coldLogic's "new" release (new to me on my belated blogging) has a brilliantly mexican style to it. Ok, so mexican to me is Santa Fe at Disneyland Paris ergo highly stereotyped

The CheerNo boots I picked up at The Dressing Room's last rotation suited perfectly, they're men's boots but have a resize script. I love cowboy boots, I've always wanted a pair in RL and I love the tiled design on these

Murder 1

The ditzy blonde, always the first to die in a horror movie... well not her, she dip-dyed the tips of her hair, especially for this hallowe'en
Creeping through the darkened room she spotted a bloody handprint, a hatchet glinted in the moonlight hanging from a bloodied coat...

Stumbling away she glanced around in horror, wondering when she would feel a hatchet between her shoulder blades...
Her bare feet slipped in the glistening pool of blood that lingered, almost invisible outside the rays of moonlight

Cracking her head on the floor she really wished she'd worn shoes that evening...

Meet the girls!

So I thought I'd try my hand at making shapes, I wanted to make different varieties but I really love curvy girls and thanks to Mesh standard sizing it's become much easier to dress and style curvy gals in styles without having to edit and resize prims!

So first say hello to Kitty, she's got a gorgeous hourglass shape with a sweet face and a quirky look about her (see below for styling credits)

Next we have Lana, with a slim, athletic shape while still retaining her curves she has a simple boyish body and a sultry face.

Finally, Lilly is possibly my favourite, she's a mixture of afro-carribean and latino, she works well with any shade of darker skin. She also has a lovely hourglass shape and a a sexy face!

Kitty - Sizes M + L

Lilly - Size M + L

Lana - Size XS + S

To show how well they work with the standard sizing I modelled them in 22769's dress for the Gallery Gift Shop (100L) and shoes from Deco (past FLF item)

Week 10 ~ The Forbidden Forest

(Quick OOC - week 10's colour is avocado)

She couldn't remember why she was doing this... was it a dare, was she cursed, or did she just feel a bit daring? Regardless of why she did it she felt brave... maybe the warmth flooding through her was bravery and not the potion she thought someone had slipped into her drink.

Peering above her, the gates towered high, blocking the entrance.. unlocked and so she pushed gently, the gates swung noiselessly to gape forbodingly in front of her.

Scuttling past the gates, her feet left telling tracks... no one came here so hopefully snowfall would cover them, she thought.
The sign stood, plain and stark, the word forbidden seemed darker and more terrifying yet she pushed on

and once you break the rules, there's no looking back... well maybe one last look..

Raiding Evie's Closet

One of the best in character dressmakers on the grid is by far Evangeline Miles of Evie's Closet. I have endless dresses from her shop and was extatic to find out she had a Midnight Mania in the discount section of her store. It has a low hit count so it's best slapped early! All I can do now is leave the pictures to do the talking, I really hope I did the dress justice, it's just beautiful!
