52 Week Colour Challenge, Patina

Patina....never heard of it but quite like the colour.

I was totally uninspired though and if it were not for a certain inworld artist I would have stayed that way. I saw her work on Flickr and contacted her. Patricia answered immediately with the information I wanted. Thank you! If you follow my flickr link you will find a link to her work and what inspired me.

So, once inspired I went shopping...and had a vague deja vu moment in A.S.S. I remember collecting a gift there on a hunt and my memory served me well. Up popped the Noctis Bolero - peacock from A.S.S, just the right colour I believe. Its feather texturing is quite beautiful and very flambouyant. I shall find more occasions to wear it.

To make the bolero stand out I am wearing Crazys Sence overalls in black: A wonderfully textured bodysuit. My Bax boots had to go with the bodysuit, tinted entirely black...ideal.

Now just the skin, hair and eyes. The skin was my usual PXL Creations Candy skin. the hair is BP's Big Bomb 1 hair...for that funky look....and the eyes, my usual, are Miriels.

It needed something else...hmmm. I remember a fair, a few years back, that had ground breaking make up available on tattoo layers. The Little Bat had a small selection there and I picked up the Lilac & Teal tattoo. Perfect for that funky disco look.

The location was Momento Mori at Chouchou

Right! Where's the nearest disco???

Canimal Carnival

OK, yet again, my outfit started with the shoes...lol. I had seen Canimals Cherry Darlings on one of the feeds a while back and to be honest had been avoiding going over to Canimal. You see, Canimal is one of those shops I class as lethal and as such avoid so that I don't bankrupt myself...lol. I will buy something everytime I visit. Anyway I popped over because those shoes haunted me. They are mule wedges with a pretty cherry pattern and a plain black heel. A must have.

Then I wandered around the shop, like you do...lol...thinking 'I bet there is a dress to go with these somewhere here.' It was then that I discovered the Nox dress in red. It has a black corset with a red and black striped 'bra'. The flexi skirt is the same stripes but had a lace under layer that shows beneath the upper skirt layer. Beautifully designed and textured.

I immediately knew which skin and hair I wanted to wear with it....Fleur Allure Truffle Biba 1 and BP*big bomb hair1. The Biba make up is striking with heavy, smokey lids and red lips...in one of Fleurs paler tones it was the dramatic look I was after. BP's hair finished off the drama to give that side show feel to the whole ensemble. However, there was still something missing.....so I rummaged through my stockings and came out with LBD AmourStockings in red. To top it all off I added Caroline..Low Prim Black Bands Choker...icing on the cake...lol.

Now I had the perfect excuse to go do that shoot at the Carnival of Doom...lol
