Wigging Out

So this will be my first post including the new hair I nabbed since braving the Hair Fair, and from this point on, you can expect to see pretty much every wig I bought there. I surfed most of it on a box with my best friend Trixi, which was a riot. Well worth the 10 hours for the people watching alone. I spent $9000LaLas Easy, Got 28 Full Price Wigs, 18 that give 50% to Locks of Love (Wish there were more of those), and Dozens of Freebies! Even without a scanner or an attachment of any kind, I still bumped into lots of people I know... Loved that! This Curious Kitties Betoki Hair was actually the last wig I purchased, I love the colour, the texture, and the messy wind-blown style, equal parts sexy and sassy. This skin is perhaps still my favorite of all time, my second premium skin purchase and my first from Celestial Studios. AT the time I was very hesitant to switch, but after wearing the Demo to a "Demo Night" Event at PIN UPS, I was ready to make the change. I choose this Earth 4 make-up as it mas most like the make-up I wore in RL. My favorite Lashes are these Love Lashes from [Detour], they look long and not too heavy for everyday looks. Eyes are from Karamia, a lovely large Hazel Eye.



This great Sweater Dress from WigWamBam came in a review folder sometime last week, and I had seen it blogged often, along with the tights that came with it. I decided to mix it up a bit, for a personal spin, adding a pair of Gold Metallic Tights from Armidi Limited, as I love wearing leggings or tights with a Mini dress. These boots are long-time favorites from Maitreya, the Boot-alicious can be worn as a short boot, or with the slouched leg-warmer style on the ankle, which comes in a number of colour options. I opted to pull in a great purse, this Cube Hand Bag from .+*Atelier AM*+. came in a pack with three design options, I always love pulling in a purse to my Look Of The Day if I can.



This great trio of Studs Bangles is also by aya Huldshinsky of .+*Atelier AM*+. and .+*aya V.*+., and comes in a variety of colour options. Something different, and precisely the kind of bracelet I like to wear with bare arms. Dragon Earrings from *UnTone* round out the outfit, I have worn these before, but this is the first time I realized why they are named as such, there is a lovely golden dragon on the large bead at the bottom of the dangle, really well made, and the set comes with a lower prim version as well. If you are a Wig Addict like I am, you can look forward to watching me wig out in the next few weeks trying to wear all my new hair.

Sisters In Style - A Detour to JE*Republic

Sisters tend to share things, clothes, make-up, jewelry, magazines, and even sometimes living space. Anessa Stine, my RL Identical Twin sister and I were not so great at the sharing things growing up, We had different tastes in men, clothes, music, and we had separate bedrooms from the time we were 6 years old. She was into 'New Kids On Block' and I loved my 'Guns N' Roses', what can I say, polar opposites in most ways.

In SL, Anessa and I do share, we share ideas, we share a passion for fashion and for the SIM we manage, Retrology. And we share HOT TIPS! When we discover something NEW and FABULOUS on the GRID, there is an immediate IM and a "Come Here NOW!", and a TP. Yesterday was just such a day. Anessa learned about "Detour" from GoGoLita's Blog and headed over, sending me a TP so I could come look at her try on skins. I ended up with shoes, eyes, and hair at "Detour". Late last night, I happened on "JE*Republic" for the first time while looking for purses to include in my upcoming article for 'Vain Inc. Magazine'. I was giddy and TP'd Anessa in, and so we thought, lets give this cute boutique a little moment in the SL sun.

I am in hair from "JE*Republic in both shots, the sleek "Bobbed Hair", and an adorable messy bun called 'Boyish Hair'. All 4 of the dresses pictured are from "JE*Republic". I choose the "Black Suede Dress", which reminded me a bit of some of my early 'Paper Couture’, looks, and is a great Little Black Dress Option, and I teamed it with these great 'Tuxedo Pumps' from "Shiny Things". I also chose the more relaxed 'Red Wine Dress’, which I paired up with some great "Armidi Gisaci" Platform Sandals. The Stacked Wood Bangles I am wearing are from a shop in the same mall as "JE*Republic" called "Atelier AM".

Anessa is wearing her new "Detour" Skins in 'Tatiana', and one of their wigs, the sweet 'Junebug' in Midnight. Anessa chose this adorable 'Black Spangle Dress', which is sweet and girlie and reminds me of dresses we both wore to "Semi-Formal" events as teenagers back in the 80s, and paired it with these sexy slouch stiletto boots from "Storm Schmooz". She also picked up this adorable 'Blue Jean Dress' at "JE" and it again echoes the 80s look, which is really coming back around again (just look at the legwarmers people!), and threw on her fabulous NEW Maitreya 'Golden Velvet' ChiChis. And like good sisters, we are sharing all of this with everyone else too! Check out the JE*Republic Mainstore, Located @ The Galleria in Korea Mirinae.
