OMG NOT HAIR FAIR ( POST 00001 )

My boy avatar says, hello and almost welcome to HAIR FAIR. I do so love Hair Fair (which runs from Sept. 4 - 19). I give so many props to the hard-working desigers who sit around carefully moving long strands of prims -- it would drive me nuts, which is why I buy hair instead of making it myself. I wanted to post in one of Curio Obscura's new hairs as my first post, but the boy avatar paused and beckoned me over to the Rock Candy folder. "Pst. Do this one." Not only is the hair unisex and cute in a J-rock bishounen kind of way, but it's tailored for my shape. That's right, Acha's shape is a modified version of a Rock Candy shape, which is why the hair suits it so well. Thanks to Miss Lillian for the idea! (Are you ready for hair fair?)





***HAIRS: Rock Candy Happy Hair (Blond), Wildboy Hair (Dbrown), and Shane Hair (DBrown)

Fire in Floyd, eh?

Miss Allegory Malaprop

See that pretty woman? I ran into her on my way to Schadenfreude to pick up the new wonderful aligator corset she's made, and the new group gift. Alle is wearing the gift, those two awesome spiral horn earrings. They have a color hud, of course, but the green matches the new corset perfectly. (SLURL to Schadenfreude for the swag!)

Allegory also teased me about the flowers in her hair. "This is by Melatonin. It isn't out yet, and when it is, it'll be for something special." Damn. I love and hate mysteries!

Impeccable logic, I wish I were Vulcan

I wanted an outfit that suited this amazing new Amaterasu skin from Pink Fuel -- something futuristic yet tribal, as if Geiger and Ghost in the Shell had a baby. I had to go to Bare Rose for that, of course, and I found just what I was looking for. Amaterasu is the Japanese sun goddess, and these are her eyes, really… I suspect that my cute futuristic combat doll avatar here thought it would frighten the enemy. (Oh and that hair… it's a teaser, the first of the Hair Fair review hairs, this one from Rock Candy. :o !! HAIR FAIR COMING SOON! ) (SLURL to Pink Fuel)

The best season ever is here

Today I am in ~silentsparrow~ new V.I.P. group gift, O.M.G.! It's copper renditions of two of my favorite recent outfits of hya's, the Severin and Severine suit/suite. I've mixed the two ensembles liberally here, and I just love the layer upon layer of pretty, deep textures and glowing fabrics. Copper against dark, hya knows how to make a girl look all dapper! This outfit reminds me happily that next month is my favorite month of the whole damned year. Only 30 days until OCTOBER! Thank you for the gift, hya!

(SLURL to ~silentsparrow~ to join the V.I.P. group for a small fee & snag the gift!)

I heard tell that there's some sort of "back in time" blogger challenge. Awesome, I'm going to take this opportunity to write about designers that I miss… I miss ~silentsparrow~, of course, but I'm happy that hya has other stuff going on this summer. I'll be writing about her outfits from last year tomorrow. But today, I found that I really miss Momo. I adore the colors and cute-but-sexy shapes from this designer. So retro-80s! So kawaii! She hasn't made stuff since last year sometime, and I hope she's doing well. Despite that, her older stuff is well worth a trip to her store. Here, I'm in a teensy little Momo cute-skull mini and a cardigan… And the rest of my outfit is from a year ago too, including the boots of course, which are ancient but incredible work by my dear Ms. Ennui.

Miss Lillian Shippe and Miss Apatia Hammerer, Photo c. 2010 by Ms. Shippe

An hour ago I posted on plurk that I was feeling too tired to blog. Sunday is my mid-workweek-day, and I've already taught and skateboarded with my daughter. "Someone else blog for me," I whined.

I'm so lucky that Apatia and Lillian stepped up to the plate. Their style is really pure Starlust (but of course, considering). I always think of antlers and anachronisms when I think of Starlust style. Off-kilter makeups, interesting avvies, a vague 1970s-smoking-den feel. I asked them to describe the photograph.

Lillian said this:

"I have no idea how to describe what is going on here....we are fancy ladies...with a fancy horse. And guns."

***Eyelashes - FANTASY CURLS
***(Milk Motion) Colette skin - blackeyes1

"What's a nice girl like you doing in a place like this?"

This morning, Miss Cajsa (above) photographed me for her blog, It's Only Fashion. See my boy avvie go punk here! She did a lovely job, and I'm honored to be on the blog!
