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.

Another fabulous Hair Fair 2014 stunner, this time from Clawtooth:. This Cherry Bomb style is aptly named, it is a sexy bed head mess of sexiness, and I love the mid-length cut so much. Speaking of love, I finally managed to get my pixelated tush to this month's COLLABOR88 event, and I was never so happy to delay gratification. The theme is Safari Chic, and the offerings are completely brilliant. You can go full on traditional, with a palate of khaki, tan, and brown, or go with a more modern twist on the look, the choices are endless. As always, the best part of COLLABOR88 is how well everything works together. A top from ::{u.f.o}::, shorts from Tee*fy, and shoes from Pure Poison. Jewelry from [MANDALA] and ISON. How could I not blow up my Linden dollar balance when it all just is so perfectly mix and match friendly. Get yourself to COLLABOR88 and enjoy a little trip to the "Dark Continent".

One of my favorite things about Hair Fair, is the discovery of really lovey wigs, and lovely hair bases to go with them. Because they can be worn separately, you can really customize your looks by wearing a hair base from one creator and a wig from another. It allows for endless personalization, which, lets face it, is hard to accomplish in Second Life when so many avatars wear very popular skins and mesh heads. This lovely weighted curl Diamond style from ISON is new and available Exclusively right now at Hair Fair 2014. The delicate baby haired hair base is from ICONIC, and just worked so well with this style, I opted to keep it on. It is also available at the Hair Fair 2014, with a style called The Icon, blogged HERE. I was feeling very girly, so pulled together a great look to wear with my new Floral Skirt 2 by [MotiAme], available at the new round of The KUSTOM 9. So from Diamonds to Daisies, my personal style will always come out on top!

Sometimes, taking separates parts and putting them together in a new way to make a whole can be a revelation. That's a lot of what medical research is about, like the research funded by FFL for the American Cancer Society. Taking knowledge of how different cells interact, looking at the abilities of viruses or hormones to affect cells or organs, and stealing the best ideas of mother nature, re-engineering them to work for us rather than against us. Cancer research in particular is all about taking bits of fascinating information and medical knowledge and using what is known to effect an unknown and possibly life saving reaction in the body. It's pretty miraculous when you think of it all.
Makes getting dressed every day seem like a no-brainer, but the same theory still holds. Break up the pieces of your wardrobe, re-combine them in new ways, and bring together something unexpected and kind-of fabulous. This look is a lot of fabulous Fashion For Life pieces, all with donations going to Relay for Life of Second Life, mixed up to make one new and eye catching combination. Including pieces from MIAMAI, [LeeZu!] , Bliensen + MaiTai, Pure Poison, *LACUNA*, and .:EMO-tions:., all of the items here were shopped from around the Fashion For Life 2014 Event SIMs. Isn't it wonderful when everything comes together.

I channel my inner Shirley Temple and pull a giddy Good Ship Lollipop with a little help from some great new Sari-Sari poses, available exclusively at Pose Fair 2014. With the help of great D!va Hair and The Secret Store fashions, I hit the mark with geeky joy. These pose sets, just $100L each for a set of 6, just can't help but make you feel Happy and Playful. There are more images of these pose sets on my flickr stream, simply too fun to resist showing off. Thank-you Shirley Temple for your endlessly sweet inspirations, you are missed (April 23, 1928 - February 10, 2014). Remember, Pose Fair 2014 runs up until May 5th, 2014, so there is still time to get there and get pose joy for yourself.
