Nothing To Wear

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.

Nicki Remembers

As soon as I tried on these panties, I had the lyrics to “Darling Nikki” by Prince running through my head and I just had to grind! Of course, I can’t do it quite like I used to, so this photo was taken as I was panting and desperately trying to recover.

The panties are actually magic; they have been designed to work with every skirt by Just BECAUSE from the end of July into the future. Currently, Annie Melson provides two versions of her skirts – one without panties and one with them in-built. This new pair gives you the option of adding them whenever you want to, without having to have two versions of the same skirt in your inventory. They come in a fatpack only, but there are 75 textures in the HUD, so you’ll be able to match any skirt she releases. And, they’re amazing just by themselves!

And everyone knows, when you’re grinding in your knickers, you’ve got to have long, lustrous hair to swing with you. The Lina hair by [NANI] from the July round of BishBox fits the bill and is even swept back, keeping your face free of those annoying flyaways.

The final piece to the puzzle is a pair of sexy come-get-me sandals, provided by fri.day. These sexy heels are available at the birthday round of Uber and definitely give your calves that stretch you need for the perfect strut.

After getting your groove on, you can just recline in a becoming manner and remember those words:

Come back Nikki, come back
Your dirty little Prince
Wants to grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind

New Beginnings, Happy Endings

I honestly can’t believe that 2017 is half over! We passed the winter solstice here in Australia about a week ago and are heading toward spring. July will soon be upon us.

The end of June is a new beginning for the mega-event, Uber. It has been open for just a few days with a Camping theme and *Just BECAUSE* has this great tank top that is designed to fit perfectly with a pair of shorts. Another late-in-the-month event is the subscription box, BishBox, which releases at noon on the 20th of each month. Those shorts I mentioned are from the June round and come in three delicious leather textures. It’s not too late to head to the BishBox Headquarters and grab your box (3000L post-release vs. 1500L pre-release).

The happy ending I mentioned is The Arcade, where you can pick up these adorable sandals from fri.day. What is happy about this? Well, for the next few days (until June 30th) you can easily get into the event to try your luck at the most popular gacha event on the grid. No desperate multiple TP attempts, no waiting ages for things to rez and all of the glorious gacha goodies for the taking! Well, for the buying. But let’s not quibble over semantics…

It’s all about the happy endings.
