The Pajama Game

Look Of The Day [June 15/2008] 1

Some of the best events are the ones that require the least amount of work when putting together a look. The "Pajama Party" Event at PIN UPS is one of those. I collect Pajamas specifically for this event, and this Blue Cherry Pajama Set from Little Rebel is just too cute. The top could easily double as a camisole, and the colour choices at Little Rebel are just so fabulous. I always wonder why there is so little of this shop's offerings on the feeds. If you have never been you have to go!

I love wearing this huge Fatties curler wig from Curl Up & Dye Salon. It come in this version and one with smaller curlers as well. The curlers themselves are script touch to change colours, so you can match them to whatever you are wearing. Just so much fun! What would pajamas be without slippers? These adorable Purple Bunny Slippers come in a pajama set from Akira Designs, inexpensive and well made, who could ask for more. Skin is by Celestial Studios Charmed Line in Rubies Make-up, seriously love this lip colour. Love Lashes and Hazel Delta Eyes are from the fabulous [Detour].

Look Of The Day [June 15/2008] 2

I accessorized with my favorite necklace, the first gift my partner of 16 months, Draco, ever gave me. The Silver Heart Locket is by Karsten Rutledge, and is so sweet. It clicks open to reveal an image of us together over 14 months ago. Note we were brunettes then, a year later we are old and gray, I blame it on the lag. Also wearing the ever versatile ~*Fresh Baked Goods*~ Gem Jelly Donut Bangles in Silver, two clicks got me the turquoise base and pink diamond stones. Gimcrack Diamond Ring from Caroline's.

Brown On The Town

Warm and wonderful, but not especially exciting, brown can often be a very neglected colour. Most of us favour black over brown, and I am no different most of the time, but this dress from "First Impressions" makes brown sexy, warm, and delicious. When it was time for a "Beast in Brown" event at PIN UPS Night Club, I was happy to find another reason to wear this fabulous wrap dress, I love the crossover top, I love the little flexi prim knotted ties. I love that is had a nice layered look, a well finished trimmed hem, and an little lacy under-layer for modesty that still looks so sexy.

I adore this wig from "Curl Up And Dye", it is inspired by the hairstyle that the character of Frenchie wore in the Film 'Grease', but I think it goes beyond mere costume hair and works nicely as a stylish shorter look. Skin, Eyes, and Lashes from "Celestial Studios" are always my favorites, and I particularly love this make-up look in 'Purple, Orchid'. I think it is warm enough to work well with an Earth tone brown like this one.

I paired the dress up with some of my favorite tights from "Blaze", I love that they are opaque and seem to have so much depth of colour, as tights would look in the light if you wore them in RL. My 'Leather Vixens' from "Tesla", a most brilliant staple shoe, work perfectly with this dress. Paired with the tights, they really elongate the leg.

Although I normally favor silver tones accessories, gold just naturally goes with brown, and these amazing 'Dragon' Earrings from "Untone" really paired up nicely. Again, a favorite chunky bracelet comes in handy, this one the 'Circle Panic Bracelet' from "Swallowtail". A great big handbag from the amazingly talented 'Ingrid Ingersoll', complete with matching gold accents let me feel polished and ready to shop. Not like I need an excuse, but this time I have a great one! Time to head off to the 'Relay For Life' Clothing Fair to grab more goodies to blog on.

Tomb Raider

The Science Fiction Event at PIN UPS finally gave me a change to wear this fabulous 'DE Raider' Costume from "DE Designs". I have had it for months, and waited till I found just the right hair for the real 'Lara Croft' look, this style from "Curl Up And Dye Salon" is perfection. I hate guns, but well, Lara would never be without them, these were freebies from a friend and are actually 'Han Solo' Guns so lasers, not bullets! I love the opportunity to piece to together the perfect look for the Daily contest events at the club.

Lord & Lady of The Rings

I hadn't been in "Adam N Eve" in ages, and stopped in while looking for my costume for the "Fantasy & Folklore" Event at PIN UPS. I knew they had some fabulous period gowns and I needed just the right one to set off my "Arwen Evenstar" look from "Lord Of The Rings". I met up with Sachi Vixen, Co-Owner of "Adam N Eve" while there and she really is one of the kindest and most generous people on the GRID. I was delighted with my gown, and Sachi's attention to detail is outstanding. I got my husband Draco in on the act, as we love to match costumes, and he was my "Aragorn". Too many details to discuss, but this photo, a fave taken at the amazing Straylight SIM, shows just how well Sachi's 'Lady Jane" Gown met the need.

Dandelion Dolly!

I was feeling a little silly and wanted to really "cute-up"! This adorable Babydoll dress from "Devilish Cupcakes" can be done up a number of ways, but I went for a funky look by pairing it with Electric Purple Tights and Hi-Hi Top Platform Chucks Sneakers. The Hair, from the amazing "Curl Up And Dye Salon" is just too cute, and I was going for the giggles on this one! Just a sweet fun take on the Babydoll dress.

Pajama Game!

To Me, There is Nothing Sexier than some cozy PJs and some FAT Curlers! This is one of my favorite looks, pure silly and great fun, all set for one of my favorite PIN UPS Events, "The Sexy Pajama Party". The Cucumbers and Nose Strips are from "Total Betty", available on the Retrology SIM, and come as part of a fantastic Cozy Plush Bathrobe Set. The Hair is the "Piece De Resistance", they are the FATTIES (A new larger version of their great curlers hair), and are just a riot! Hello Slippers, love collecting great slippers in SL, and these Hello Kitty slippers were my first ever, and still my faves!
