Paperdolls - Day Four

Today is a retro look. I got a little creative with the belt on this one. Well I guess wearing it backwards isn't all that creative, but it worked.
I didn't take the time to pull out my scooter for the pictures because I think I took them on a restart Tuesday and was being chased around the grid. One thing I don't always have is patience. If I did my pictures would probably be more epic than these.
Oh well check out the credits for all the pretty things I am wearing.

A Princess Proposition

Age: A lady never reveal such things
Location: The Gumball Kingdom, I am the princess of the realm after all.
A little about yourself... I am a big fan of gum in any shape or size, but I have a love for gumballs. I mean so many colors! I do have princessy duties that I must attend to often, and these do include attending various Balls. My favorite ones are of course The Annual Gum Ball, The Whopper Ball, and The Sour Ball can be fun too with the right company. The Sour Ball serves the best apple martinis.
What I am looking for... I am looking for a nice candy and gum loving gentleman for long walks along the Candy Cane Lane or picnic while we watch the cotton candy clouds. You have to be tough to date me though as I live atop the Rock Candy Mountain. It can be a treacherous climb bit I think I am worth it.
So will you kiss me?

Shy At First

Who knew that your picture could be snapped just wandering down the street? I mean sure I walk with confidence usually, but this caught me so of guard I felt a little camera shy. However after a few dozen pictures I totally got into it.
I mean with a bare back and some serious side boob I will be insane not to want to show it off. Even though it isn't Tuesday there is a little booty there for you to make your Monday a little brighter. Yeah I think that much of my own backside.

I Spy...

Oh wait not me, Mushu! If you don't know who Mushu is, he is the dragon who watches over and in his own way tries to help Mulan. Mushu was always lurking out of sight of the other warriors Mulan was training with.
Sometime it did not go so well and Mushu hung his head in shame. He needed Mulan to succeed just as much as she did. I think this is the first challenge where I gave a synopsis of a movie in the post. Oh and I can hear/read, "Lets get down to business.", without "I'll Make a Man Out of You" popping into my head.

A Beauty Sleeps

I couldn't rightly take a picture if Aurora (also known as Sleeping Beauty) without a sleepy looking picture. For the longest time Aurora was my the favorite princess of mini me. Somewhere around here I even have a picture of her meeting Aurora. Of course she has moved on to a new favorite princess that I will be getting around to soon. Even thought the faeries fought over the color of Auroras dress I chose to go with the pink. I tried, though not very hard, to find a dress that went from blue to pink but failed.
Maybe instead of sleeping I should have been out singing with forest creatures, maybe dancing with an owl in a mans cloak? All these posts have me longing to watch all the older movies, even if the kids don't want to watch with me. Shall we sally forth on to the credits?

A Lost Soul

Today's post is based on a makeup from the Makeup/Tattoo hunt going on at the moment. It is called Lost Soul so I tried to make myself look like a lost soul. I almost look like someone who has risen up from the canals and is wandering the streets.
I chose a white dress because of the contrast it provided and the air of innocence a white dress gives a lady. Since this all started with the makeup I should give you a closer look huh?

Alien Lockdown

It seems to make sense to have my first post this week to be a little on the Sci-Fi side of things. I mean Star Trek was the #1 movie in the US over the weekend. It also happens to the the genre of choice for this months Genre shopping event.
I guess being locked up is better then being experimented on, but it is a boring existence for someone as awesome as my alien self. Look I was already blue enough without being locked up!
In case you were curious and are reading this instead of just looking at the pictures, the hair, tattoo and poses used in that last picture are all available at Genre. Now onto the credits!

A Little Afternoon Delight

Since this theme was afternoon delight I decided to shoot a couple sneaking off for a little fun. I mean I could have been obvious about it, but I thought I would be subtle for once.
As you can see someone was a little anxious to get to dessert this afternoon.

Playing with Patterns - Polka Dots

This week I have decided to play with patterns, namely polka dots, checks, stripes and florals. Oh and because I lost a bet, I will be doing it as a blonde. Please blondes understand, I am not saying being blonde is bad, it's just not me, but since I honor my bets......

Wardrobe Basics - The Little Black Dress

I saved the quintessential wardrobe basic for last, the little black dress. I tried to make it a little playful instead of dressy.

I could probably lose the cardigan, put up my hair and be ready for a night out with this look. Figures, all dressed up with no where to go.....

Marbled Sugar

So I am sure you all know there are several events going on in SL at the moments. I know it gets hard to keep track of them all. Today I am wearing and items from Unhinged (yay gachas) and Around the World.

If you couldn't guess by the pictures, the reason this post it titled "Marbled Sugar" is because of the marbled skin and sugarskull boots and necklace. Sometimes there is a method to my madness.

Just a better peek at the skin. Oh and newer hair too!

Sneaking out for lunch

It was around lunch time when I started taking these pictures so it must have been on my mind. That and it was the best idea I could think of.I have been having a creative block as of late. Anyway...

Here are a couple of pictures of what I am wearing because well it's easier to look this way. The hair, shoes and top are all from this months round of FaMESHed. The hair from Exile features one of the new fusion line of textures, and yes there are some "out there" colors as well. The top and shoes are from FaMESHed too and I would love to have both in my closet in RL right now. Here take a better look at the shoes and bag from the pictures

I have been obsessed with totes in RL as of late. Mostly because at the mommy person I get stuck with everyone else's crap and I need something big enough to hold it all. I can't be the only one right? Well that is all for today.

(something witty here)

I am sure you are all growing really tired of hair fair posts, and yet here I am adding to them. I am sorry. But hey everyone has their own spin on then right? Anyway here are three looks styled from some of the hair I picked up from the Flower Sim.

First up a hair from Lollipopz. I liked this one because I kinda dig flowers in my hair, and the option of adding flexi bits wasn't to shabby either.



The next one is from Alice Project, and it just makes me feel all pretty and girly...and did I say pretty? Oh and it is mesh so it appeals to my mesh hoar side.



And last but not least is another one from Alice Project. This time a straighter style which is one of those styles that everyone needs.

Returning to the beach

Today I decided to venture back to the beach, you know facing your fears and all. Besides the chest can't still be there right? Someome must have come along and taken it away. Now to find the right spot to park my bum.

After I got my self all situated I figured I would kick back and relax with a nice cold drink. Yeah I know it is a pretty big cooler for one person, but you never know when you may need an extra....A girl has to plan ahead.

Well at least some form of wildlife found me interesting enough. I kinda feel like Snow White....didn't the birds sit on her finger and sing for her? Though she got a prince in the end and well all I have is sand in mine. Maybe next time.......

 Oh well time to head back to the real world, no more lazing about on the beach.

Beaches can be scary

The other day I was was talking a leisurely stroll along the beach, you know it being summer time and all where I am.

When I came upon a chest washed ashore. Well you know it had to look of a pirates chest and being the curious girl I am I just hard to take a little peek. I mean there could be enough treasure in there to keep me in mesh clothing for decades!

 

                             
Unfortunatly maybe peeking into the chest wasn't the brightest of ideas. How so many things, because I have no idea what they were, could survuve in the chest is beyond me. I didn't wait to find out how many more were going to come  spewing forth.

                           

I slammed that lid down as fast as I could, my heart was pounding. Could this chest have been anything like the Pandora's Box of legend? Maybe I am just letting my imagaination run away with me. Those flying things could have been nothing more than moths......maybe.

Reading in Thistle

So it has been umm....a lot of weeks since I have done one of the 52 weeks of color challenge post. To be honest I was feeling pretty down about doing them once my color partner left. But I have been working hard the last couple of weeks to get caught up and didn't want to start posting them till I was. Anyway on with the color! This week is Thistle if you couldn't guess...


Hey look now the title of the post makes more sense. One of my favorite places to take pictures lately is on my garden platform, and the furniture lives out there now.



And just a little breakdown of what I am wearing, you know since you can't really see it all in the first picture.

Alice tells her story

Dear Readers,
I have a secret story to share with you today. I trust you will keep what I share with you in utter confidence as I would hate for anything to happen to the lovely girl I am about to tell you about.


Everyone knows the story that Lewis Carroll told of Alice, and that was just the start. You see every so often an "new" Alice makes her way to Wonderland to save the day. You don't hear about these Alices because, well who would believe such a fantastical story. If fact some of the previous Alices have been locked away in asylums. This Alice did not want to be one of those, so she kept her story to herself, until now.


Alice is currently working on recounting her tale for anyone interested in reading. Of course for her own safety ( as she really enjoys living the life she has), she is penning it under a pseudonym and as a "fairy tale". She hopes people will see it as a "fan fiction" type of deal based off the older stories, just you know advanced in time. Here is a little photo montage of Alice I was able to put together. Remember this is a secret and I really shouldn't be telling you, but my dearest readers I trust you.

No Red Light Special

But how about a red lipped post? Since I have a hard time passing up a blogger challenge, and I was feel pretty good today, I decided to take a whack at it.



Though I may have gone overboard with the red...


..but really who can pass up lounging about in a tight red number, with red lips to match?


Not me that is for sure! I could talk about everyone having their own likes and dislikes, but I shouldn't need to. If you do need a refresher I am sure there is a kindergarten class somewhere that can help. Okay that was mean and if you are insulted............

Morning me time

Nothing like starting the day with a little me time. Today will start with some morning sunrise yoga, since I have the perfect outfit for it.

Of course after a workout it's time to cool down and what better way than with a glass of ice cold lemonade, perfect for a warm early summer morning.

And well since it is such a nice day it would be a shame to spend it in doors, so that means it's time to pull out the glossy mags and read all about that latest fashions, and pretend I can be trendy.
