Strange Pixels

This is going to be some drive.

They aren’t called The Wastelands for no reason.

Time to roll.

Stay frosty.

*stretches

I need a pit stop.

Wonder if Giuseppe’s home.

…and awake.

He never was much of an early riser.

You’re sure of a big surprise

If you go out in the woods today

You’d better go in disguise

If you go out in the woods today

You’d better not go alone

It’s lovely out in the woods today

But safer to stay at home

It’s finally getting chilly here, thank goodness.  This summer has been particularly brutal, and I’m not sorry to see the back end of it.

In SL, my avie can dress for whatever season she likes.  But I find myself dressing for the season in a kind of celebration of it.   Today’s post is very much like something you might find me in, out here in the real world.  Only better, of course.

Sn@tch’s new Miss Prim and Proper set is so cozy,with it’s long cuddly sleeves and oversized collar.  A short flirty skirt (which fit with absolutely no resizing, I might add.) exposes adorable knit stockings, complete with garters and little skully fasteners.  The sweater underneath comes in a variety of colors.   I’m wearing the white, but have put a slight grey tint on it.  The sleeves do not actually have prim cuffs, but I dug around in inventory and found a set from another sweater.  One of the advantages of always wearing black, eh?

These boots from amaama immediately sparked my attention when I saw them on the Free*Style blog.  I must report that, although they look marvelous, they are not 3-dimensionally primmed.  That is to say, the laces and such are textured on to the boot prims.  Still, not much of a deterrent for me, especially considering the price tag ($L 170, a good deal for nicely sculpted and textured boots.)

Today I’m wearing one of the new Doll skins from Nomine.   These skins are as wonderfully shaded as we’ve come to expect from all of Munchflower’s work, and the unseamed version can be incorporated perfectly into less fantasy-oriented looks like I’ve done today.  But worry not, I do have a wicked dolly post in the works for the near future, to feature the seamed version.

As a straight-haired girl in real life, I dream of having fantastic bouncy curls like this new Cake ‘do.  Shush, just shush.  I can hear all you becurled folks just gearing up to tell me how annoying it is, and how you wish you had straight hair.  I don’t want to hear it. :P

So I wake up every morning looking like this and feeling like crap.

But that’s the good part, it always gets worse.

By noon, much worse.

And by afternoon, I generally look like this.

Hunting brainz is a hard job.

By midnight, I’m toast.

It’s the working life.

In the morning, I get up and do it all again.

Isn’t there a Greek Myth about this?

Death…

…smiles at us all.

But all a man can do…

…is smile back.

Just a quickie tonight, because the 4th of July holiday weekend is kicking my ass at work, and I have to get up at some ungodly hour in the morning.  Bleh.

Viv Draper posted in Ducknipple recently, and it reminded me I haven’t been in a while, which I had to correct forthwith!   So here you have some of the fruits of that shopping trip.  Enjoy!

My sultry southern amigos and amigas are melting in the heat.

You know who you are <3

So flee to my northern ice lair!

Where I will cool you all in the ice bar with frozen potions.

And soothe your fevered brows while you nom on Gin infused Arctic Char

And after, when we are ready, we will kick off our boots and sleep dreamlessly on beds of ice.

Two more new hair fair acquisitions, and two older Silent Sparrow releases to remind you about hyasynth’s stupendous half-off sale!  If you haven’t availed yourself to this bargain yet, you’ll have to hurry.  Sale ends tonight at midnight.

Edit:  Apparently the sale ends tomorrow.  Wednesday, 6/24/09.  Whoops!

The “Cog Mistress” hair from The Stringer Mausoleum was just too perfect a match for Silent Sparrow’s “Toxine” suit.  And the cog hair ornaments are a separate attachment, so you can wear the hair without them.

Mourna a blonde!? That might just be one of the signs of the apocalypse.

I always have the most difficult time choosing my colors at Silent Sparrow. They’re all so beautiful and rich, I stand there in a muttering little flutter of indecision for what seems like an eternity.  Then I usually default to my standard red or black for easier mix-and-matching.  But this great sale as afforded me the opportunity to pick up some different colors than my norm, as seen above.
