Nothing To Wear

PeepSideshow Darkward2 Comments

It’s a woman’s worst nightmare: having so many choices she simply has nothing to wear.

Only one of these gowns is actually wearable, and it is a stunner. The Aja Gown by Valentina E., available at FaMESHed, will have you prepared for princesshood. The others are mannequins, but I would wear every single one of them. I racked up all of these great decor items from LAGOM at The Gacha Garden.

Thanks to my haul, I find myself with nothing to wear.

On The Threshold

PeepSideshow Darkward4 Comments

We are finally on the threshold of Hair Fair 2017. It starts in just a few hours (midnight, if I’m not mistaken). In the meantime, I have a couple of things you can do to keep you occupied.

First, visit Japonica. This is a themed event that celebrates the Japanese culture. The Niche dress from Salt & Pepper is a beautiful example. The flowers across the bodice preserve your modesty, despite the sheer top. The dress can be purchased in either single colours and of course, the amazing fatpack. The flowers are colour-change via HUD and with the fatpack you can mix and match the tones of the bodice, waist and skirt for your favourite combination.

After you have completed your shopping excursion, you need to join the free Hair Fair demo group, to get you ready for your shopping spree. To join, copy and paste the following into local chat in Second Life and join the Hair Fair DEMO Group

secondlife:///app/group/2e30d166-f3e5-e2de-ff72-b3da2d06ded2/about

The designers are loading this group so you can choose your favourites before heading out to shop. With four full sims, that’s a lot of designers and a lot of demos! Best of all, a portion of all proceeds go to Wigs for Kids, a fabulous charity that donates wigs to children with illnesses or treatments that cause hair loss. Hair Fair is a wonderful way to feel good about spending your money, knowing that you will be helping to make a difference in a child’s life.

Step over the threshold; you have things to do.

Behind Every Great Woman…

PeepSideshow Darkward2 Comments

The April round of BishBox is real corker! The “Grunge Queen” box is packed full of great fashion, makeup and accessories. The Kat T-Shirt Dress from ChicModa comes with a texture-change HUD to give you loads of options, including solids, patterns and designs. The Stefanie hair from [NANI] with its classic pageboy style also includes optional hat, giving it great versatility.

I love this smoky eye makeup from .Identity. Body Shop and the septum ring from Suicide Gurls is tasteful and includes three colour options, also via HUD. Check out the closeup to see the detail on these.

If you missed seeing the Tranquility setting at Frayed Sanity I showed a few days ago (The White Greenhouse), I’m sorry, but you’re too late. In her usual style, CrankyGit has closed the sim temporarily to completely redo it. She hopes to reopen later this week, so I’ll try to keep you posted when it has reopened to the public. But before she whisked away the last vestiges of the beach, I managed to grab this shot. It gives truth to the old saying, “Behind every great woman is a dirty, broken mannequin.”

Or something like that 😉
