Til Daddy Takes Her T-Bird Away

1 T-Bird sm

It’s almost time for The Vintage Fair to make its return! Mark June 10th on your calendar.

Vintage Fair 2016 Poster

Brought to you by the creative force behind Skin Fair and last year’s Christmas on 34th Street, Vintage Fair is a celebration of all things pre-modern! Whether you’re looking for the 20’s, 40’s, 50’s or 80’s, there is something to be found for you. Not just limited to fashion, you can also find poses & props, accessories, skins and homeware. It’s the bee’s knees, the grooviest, the bomb!

This is a teaser of a few items from the participating designers – in fact, everything except my skin and eyes are from Vintage Fair. I am loving the choices so far and from peeking at the Shopping Guide (click the logo above to get there), I have no doubt I’ll be swooning over even more to come. For a list of participating designers, you can click here.

I’ll post the SLurl to the location once the event opens, but in the meantime I’ll just keep having fun, fun, fun til….well, you know 😉

Hot Tramp

1 Hot Tramp sm

Virtually every “good girl” has a little bit of a “hot tramp” inside her. This one is no exception.

The Hot Tramp neon sign was a Fifty Linden Friday gem from junk. It may still be available, although I don’t know for sure or if it is still at this bargain price. The same goes for the chair from Soy. Both are must haves in my book.

While some events are just kicking off, like Uber, Skin Fair and The Liaison Collaborative are nearing their close. While TLC will have a new round coming up soon (April 7th, to be exact), Skin Fair will be closing on March 27th for the year. Be sure to get to both of these events before the time runs out. My bodysuit is available at TLC and my skin and makeup can be found at Skin Fair. Check the credits for the details.

Who Needs Bette Davis Eyes?

1 Rita Hayworth Glamour sm

Her hair is Harlow gold
Her lips sweet surprise
Her hands are never cold
She’s got Bette Davis eyes
She’ll turn the music on you
You won’t have to think twice
She’s pure as New York snow
She got Bette Davis eyes
~ Lyrics from “Bette Davis Eyes” by Kim Carnes

Give me a break. Who cares about Bette Davis Eyes when you can have the red hair and glamour of Rita Hayworth? The famous redhead danced her way through the glory days of Hollywood in the 40’s – one of the most glamorous times in cinematic history. While most of her films were done in black and white, there is no denying the feisty yet feminine wiles of this darling ginger. Best known for her role as the fiery “Gilda,” Hayworth was an iconic siren in a time known for its femme fatales.

I was inspired to create this scene to honour Miss Hayworth by the dress from Salt & Pepper and the strappy heels from Apple May Designs. The shoes are available now at Tres Chic and the dress will be featured at the upcoming round of Shiny Shabby (starts tomorrow). Throw in the blazing locks from Magika and the classic chair with glamour puss pose from junk., plus some props from [ keke ] and [ zerkalo ], and it is like stepping onto the set of a 1946 Hollywood film.

The skin I am wearing from ::JOLI:: is creamy and classic. It comes with a variety of mesh body appliers and make up options on tattoo layers or in appliers. It is available at Skin Fair 2016, Sim 2.

Speaking of Skin Fair, there is a week remaining and if you were thwarted in your attempts to gain entry in the first week, now is the perfect time to get in for this amazing event. For those of you who might be wondering, script limiters have now been lifted. Although Hayworth once said, “I have always felt that one of the secrets of real beauty is simplicity,” you don’t need to strip down to bare simplicity to get in to create your perfect look.

“After all, a girl is… well, a girl. It’s nice to be told you’re successful at it.”
