Patchwork Cute

This post took a whole lot of effort to piece together, just like a patchwork quilt. I took me days to get the style together, then to hunt for a cute location, another two to finally get my photos done (thank you SL), and yet another day to track down all my location SLurls and event landmarks. I hope it was worth it, it takes a lot of work to look this cute. Thank goodness for great new hair from .ploom., Missy is available now exclusively at The Big Show. I almost always wear my hair up like this in my everyday, and the pumped up bun on top is pretty accurate (even though my hair is very salt and pepper, white/grey and black). It's mainly because I am way overdue for a trim, like years overdue, and my long hair reaches my lower back. Not sure if it looks as cute in real life as it does on my avatar, but I am going with it.

COLLABOR88 - The Fates: Atropos

This month marks the three year anniversary of COLLABOR88, and it is a shopping experience of truly epic proportions. The theme is Odyssey, and it is entirely evocative of Greek and Roman Pantheon Gods and Goddesses. I opted to evoke the three Fates, or Moirae, with three looks to match the three Goddesses.

Considered the cruelest of the three Fates, Atropos wielded the scissors that cut the string of life spun and measured by the other two Moirae. This final cut was the decisive time of death, ending the life of the mortal.  I choose to think she was merely misunderstood, and decided to set this cruel beauty in the night, sky full of stars, after the sun has set on a life.  Atropos is wearing white here, a color long associated with death, in this fantastic sexy gown by Baiastice. The gown, Exclusively available at COLLABOR88, comes in a shockingly sexy version with bared breasts if you dare. I opted to cover her arms in bangles and gems to symbolize the wealth of knowledge accumulated in a life well lived, all of these are new from aisling. and yours to win at Fantasy Gacha Carnival. The stunning hair, sandals, poses, and even the piercing are all to be found at COLLABOR88 exclusively, until this round ends, but don't wait till your thread is cut short. Happy Three Years COLLABOR88, the fates of shoppers everywhere are happily in your hands.

COLLABOR88 - The Fates: Lachesis

This month marks the three year anniversary of COLLABOR88, and it is a shopping experience of truly epic proportions. The theme is Odyssey, and it is entirely evocative of Greek Pantheon Gods and Goddesses. I opted to evoke the three Fates, or Moirae, with three looks to match these three stunning Goddesses. 

Lachesis would measure the thread spun by the younger Clotho, and the length of the thread was said to determine the length of a life.The Moirae were the personification of destiny, but ultimately were considered blameless since humans had free will and ultimately they could be held responsible for their own failures. I wanted to put my modern version of Lachesis in this most fabulous watch combination from [MANDALA], which is utterly breathtaking in it's detail and realism. An entire mortal lifespan is but a day to an immortal, so I placed Lachesis in the bright light of day. This stunning skin by -Glam Affair - is also available Exclusively at COLLABOR88, and I selected a natural unadorned fresh face since it will take make-up layers well. The hair, gown, and sandals are also COLLABOR88 Exclusives.

COLLABOR88 - The Fates: Clotho

This month marks the three year anniversary of COLLABOR88, and it is a shopping experience of truly epic proportions. There is so much stunning content of every kind, and easily twice as many vendors as ever before. The theme is Odyssey, and it is entirely evocative of Greek and Roman Pantheon Gods and Goddesses. Everything is decadent and gilded, and it is really a matter of being spoiled for choice, I had to have it all. In celebration of the three year mark for COLLABOR88, I opted to evoke the three Fates, or Moirae, with three looks to match the three Goddesses.

Clotho is the youngest of the Moirae, one of the three Fates, and is known as the spinner. This Greek Goddess, the daughter of Zeus it is presumed, is said to have spun the threads of destiny that determine the time of birth of an individual. I depicted her in the morning sunrise, as she represents the early morning of the lifespan. I see her in green, a color of living things and growth. This classic dress by La Penderie de Nicole is clean lined perfection in a fitted mesh. Hair, most accessories, and poses can also be found at this months round of COLLABOR88.

Valkyrie In The Mist

I have recently been introduced to a new series of Paranormal Romance books, the Immortals After Dark series by Kresley Cole. They are something to keep my mind off other things, especially at bedtime when I often struggle with nightmares.  One of the most brilliantly written groups in these books are the Valkyrie, a group of petite but fierce women of Lore, that fight hard but with power and grace. After a visit to the new round of We Heart Role-Play! yesterday, I knew I had to go full Valkyrie and have a little Role-Play fun. It all started when I spotted these amazeballs pants called Rogue, by -Pixicat-, and yes the shoes are part of them! I may never take them off, and you will want them even if you don't RP, they are perfect for the every curvy girl, and they go perfectly with this amazing We Heart Role-Play! Exclusive Nyoki Hair from ~Tableau Vivant~, a hella sexy style for both guys and girls. The Rogue pants are available in 5 color choices, while the hair is available in dozens and dozens of tones. The poses, also a brilliant score from the We Heart Role-Play! Event are by !Musa!, and were great fun to play with. Don't wait to visit this great event, the lag is low and the shopping is fierce.
