What’s your damage Heather?

Wow, I am like totally a child of the 80’s. And thus ends my use of totally for this post. *crosses fingers* Anyway, I saw this outfit from Devilish Cupcake and I had to have it. Actually it’s not an entire outfit, you can buy each piece separately and there are LOTS of really great stuff there that isn’t retro as well. It’s a great shop, and you can rollerskate in it. Which is TEH OSM. Anyway, these pieces are the Running Shorts for Chicks which come in 6 different colours (I chose red, obvs) the top is called Rainbow Halter Shirt, and the leg warmers are called Hot Chick Leg Warmers, appropriately enough. The leg warmers come in 7 different shades.

I also put on the Lulu by Celestial Studios over the knee tube socks in pink mix, but you get four different versions of pink. But there are lots of other colour packs available. Skin is also by Starley, one of her seasonal skins, it’s Spring in the Fresh makeup, and of course it’s the freckled version. I can’t get enough of her freckles.

The accessories are by Artilleri. Now I admit, I’m not a big jewelry wearer in SL. Even in RL I don’t wear much, I just can’t be arsed to bother with putting crap on. Because I’m beautiful just as I am dammit. However, Antonia makes some REALLY great stuff, both accessories and clothes. She’s also super sweet. The earrings are the glitter love earrings and the colour is called 1984. Perfection! Seriously, how cute are these? You get 7 versions total, but I think these are my favourites. The bracelets are also by Artilleri, they’re called lulu, and I got the fatpack. I’m wearing blue and yellow, and though they’re supposed to both go on your left arm, I just hopped on a posing stand and put one on my right arm as well.

Then, of course you can’t be 80’s without wearing a side pony tail. This hair is from *Truth* and it’s called Missy, I’m wearing the colour Blooooood. No, wait, it’s just called Blood. I really like his hair, it’s pretty interesting, and again, not styles you see just anywhere on the grid. So that concludes my journey into the recent past. Come with me next time, won’t you?

Product details behind the cut…

Hey you! Look at me!

I took lots of pictures of today’s outfit, mostly because I enjoy wasting time in Photoshop. I started with hair again, this is new from ETD called Charley, there are two options with this hair. You can wear the plain black version which is mod, or you can wear the colour-changing one that is no mod. I think it has something to do with scripts in the hat. Either that or magical fairies. Neither of which I completely understand. I am wearing Charley in Ebony, I’ve been wearing black hair a lot lately, so I have been buying Elika’s Naturals II pack, it comes with several colours but no tipped versions. I prefer the option to wear whatever colour my mood strikes. Anyway, I love the look of this hair, it made me want to listen to Smooth Criminal by Michael Jackson. Yes, I’m totally old enough to remember when MJ was cool.

I went with the Suave outfit from Winter Moon, I have every version of the suave look that Arbel Vogel has made, one was recently re-released as a freebie in her group. I LOVE this outfit, it’s sexy cool, without looking like a hooker. Lord knows I look like a hooker plenty enough as it is in my RL, I don’t need to bring that into my SL as well. Also wearing the Canimal lust half cup bra underneath the sheer version of the top, but it comes in non-sheer as well for you less daring folk.

Shoes are from Shiny Things, called classics in black, I chose to go with the cherry accented version. I’m not a big shoe wearer, in either life. I don’t like feet really. I find it easiest to avoid shoes altogether usually. But I’ve got a thing for Shiny Things, I think Fallingwater Cellardoor does some pretty awesome things. Especially the newer sculpted stuff, it’s fab.

And last but *definitely* not least, please have a look at my new skin obsession. It’s called Glitterati by Laura Leandros under the brand Mojo. I’m wearing tone 4 in the Malachite makeup, she recently had this makeup marked down for St. Paddy’s day. Each makeup pack comes with 4 option, a day or night look with choice of matte or glossed lips. Oh Glitterati, how do I love thee? I might have to do an all skin post next for these. The only regret is that there aren’t any freckles. I’m very attached to my freckles in RL, and in SL. So hey Laura? Can you make some freckles? I’d heart you until the end of time.

After the cut is another gratuitous picture of my avatar, and product info.

Music is the medicine of the mind

I love this newest collaboration of Sinistyle and Refuge. This is the Trish outfit, and I love love love it. The texturing on the pants is suh-weet. Also, I have to admire the belt, I don’t know how they did it, but they managed to make a belt that doesn’t hover around my hips and STILL manages to not be eaten by my giant arse. Don’t get me wrong, I love my shape, but most prim belts do not. So go get this outfit, I believe it’s sold piece by piece as well, but you save some Lindens if you buy it all together.

I’m also wearing Canimal’s new skin in Lust, Essence of Ether. I really like the makeup options she has, and the lips are mod, and she also included several different eyebrow choices. Oh and eyes, the eyes that come with it are ultra-realistic in 4 different colours.

The hair is from Gritty Kitty, it is Gazette Hair in Red hots, I love Noam’s hair, he makes really great interesting styles that you don’t see everywhere on the grid. Also, the streaks, I <3 the streaks. There is tons of movement to this hair, and some great alpha-textures that you can’t really see because I suck at the picture-takingness.

I also love these new Canimal Blingphones. They’re so cute, and I think they’re just plain neat. Like my stunning use of adjectives? I R Smart. Anyway, the coolest part (and also the hardest thing to take photos of are the little bling music notes that waft out from the headphones. I turned my itunes WAY up and took some fun shots for this post. (By the way, yanni is the only thing in my itunes right now, I love men with mustaches and long hair, what can I say?)

Product Stuff below the cut

Look of the… erm week?

Yes, I realize that I’m incredibly slow in posting my ‘looks of the day’ but give me a break I’m just a tad busy. I also got a wacom tablet that I’ve fallen in love with, I want to have little pixel babies with it. I’ll try to be more consistent on the blog front. On to the Post!

So today is a retro-y vibe, with an entire ensemble from Nyte ‘N’ Day and pretty much everything else from Celestial Studios.

I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this before, but I’m a complete slut for Starley’s…. well everything. I love her skins, I love her hair, I love her clothes. I want to be Starley when I grow up. So today, I started with the hair, it’s called “Whitney” it’s in Ember, her hair comes in 3 colour packs and I just love the textures. This one has a scripted colour-changing headband, and I loved the big-ness of it, I thought it looked very retro-y.

Which went very well with my new dress from Nyte ‘N’ Day called Retesk in Purple. It comes in 3 different patterns and each pattern comes in 2 colours (6 colours in all for the mathematically challenged). This one is the Lupus Edition, so 100% of the proceeds go to Lupus Canada! It’s a great deal and it’s for a good cause. Not to mention it’s fricking gorgeous. The texturing, as with all Nyte’s things is amazing, and it comes with 3 different skirt options, 2 are sculpted and a sculpted prim that goes around your neck. It also includes the tights. Beautiful work, srsly.

I also wanted to mention, all the poses I used for this post (and I think the last one too) have been from Long Awkward Pose, and aside from having one of the best named shops in SL, Dove Swanson also makes terrific poses for *super* reasonable prices. Anyone who loves taking pictures of their AV (like me!) should definitely check her out.
