The Knobby Hair Post

After I saw Amacci's new Olivia on the feed I knew it was mine. I like it a LOT, especially the knobs and the escaping tendrils, but after a minute of mulling, I realized I had a number of knobby styles in my inventory. Hence the post title.



I'm wearing Olivia in Henna from the Copper pack. Top is from the new Ibizarre Tweed set. The earrings are the Sofia ones from [chuculet]. Skin is my new standby, Kim Natural Spring Rose from PXL Creations and my eyes are from poetic colors, the Summer-Lavender Field.



And here are the knobs I can remember owning approximately in order of acquisition:
Top row l/r:
Annie May III in Smolder from Celestial Studios; Patootie in Auburn Burnt from ETD
Bottom row l/r:
Christy in Auburn from Deviant Kitties; The Art Teacher in Nutmeg from Tiny Bird.

Each is different from the others, but all share that wonderful knobbiness that seems to entrance me.

Me and My Shadow

It started with 5th & Oxford dropping both their yet to be released skins and cocktail dresses on Samara and myself. Then, inspired by Achariya and Mourna’s joint posts, Sam and I agreed to do likewise.

The 5th&Oxford Summer Cocktail skins have the Audrey base with a new set of fresh, vibrant makeups. We both chose to wear the medium skin tone…Sam went for the simple, elegant make up no.5 with its ‘natural’ eyes and classic red lips. I chose the flashier no.6 with its blue eyes and rose lips. All the make ups are suitable for that cocktail party look.

The Cocktail Dresses that will be released at the same time as the skins are the typical quality and design we have come to expect of this creative pair. The dress is a retro styled system dress with prim details. The plunging neckline keeps this dress sassy, the vibrant colours match the make ups wonderfully and the design and textures are perfect. The prim sleeves finish the top beautifully and the wide prim belt completes the dress. Sam is wearing the dress in ‘Blue Lagoon’ as being a redhead it suited her and I wore ‘Cosmo’ as the red suited my colouring. There are 6 colours in total to chose from, one to suit everybody.

Next came the shoes…Sam dug into her inventory and after several tries decided upon the ETD peeps slingbacks in blue. I, on the other hand, knew exactly which shoes would complement the dress…AC Sasy Chic in Passion. Both sets of shoes complemented the classical, elegant look.

Sam suggested the title and no shadows were harmed in the making of this blog.

It's all about MichaMi!

As was announced yesterday Milla Michinaga has asked me to be Store Manager at MichaMi and I accepted happily :) While I miss Milla's fashion blog, at least now we get her fashion eye in her own creations. Speaking of which, I had these two outfits in the pipeline and what better time to share them with you as I begin my new duties:)




Above is the Selma camisole and shorts in Mint. The dotted swiss pattern on the cami doesn't show up as well as I'd like, but it's there. It's a bit sheer, although your "assets" benefit from a lovely built in bra look. The puffy shorts are a lot of fun to wear too! My belt is the Disk Belt Silver, by Mix and Match. I saw it on the feed and had to have it. It only comes on the jacket layer, but for L$50 I can live with that. Besides Milla *always* provides everything on every layer. My shoes are the Satin Bow-Tied in Green, now in their discount room for L$100. My earrings are Lucas Lameth's Dragonflies, now discontinued :( PXL Creations skin, Grace Cateyes/Rose Lips with Freckles in Natural is gracing my pixels. My hair is Deviant Kitties' Christy in Auburn.





In the second photo-collage I am wearing The Laila top from MichaMi in Cream with the Cigarette Pants from Michami's Joanie in gray. Laila does have its own wonderful trousers, but I like the little bit a of skin that shows on the side with the pair from Joanie. Shoes are, again, from the Shiny Things Discount area, the Lady Zig Zags in Fawn. I remember drooling over these when they were much much more. They are pre-sculpty, but still oh so good. My jewelry is the Platinum Spyraea Necklace & Earrings from Sue Stonebender's Appetite & Eve Jewelry Salon. My hair is Svea in Henna from Amacci. And I'm wearing the same PXL Creations skin as above. My eyes for both outfits are Frozen Night Medium from Poetic Colors. Now that Miriel Enfield is no longer making eyes, Poetic Colors has become my *eye crack* of choice. They aren't inexpensive, but they often have hunt gifts or freebies that ease the pain a bit.

So please poke me inworld if you want help at MichaMi --see you in the store!

Christmas in July...

I had to explain this concept to a fellow blogger. But basically it's a chance to pretend it's cooler out than it is and that pressies are on the way :)

THIS Christmas in July was not only last Saturday's theme at Club Cutlass, but also the event that put my RFL team, the Passionate Redheads, over 2 million lindens raised to fund the cure for cancer. Go Redheads! Go Relay!

I'm wearing by favorite holiday dress, Confetti in Red from Simone. I bought it for my first inworld Holiday Season and bring it out when I heart the word "Christmas", even if it is in July. I'm wearing Deviant Kitties Wynter hair and *cough* lights. The reflections seem appropriate rather than a flaw given the theme. Skin is the Christmas one for [42] last year. Shoes are by House of Nyla. The Heirloom Locket is from Lucas Lameth.

I *almost* feel cooler:)
