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!

The new skins from Gala Phoenix have been blogged to death by now… but I don’t care. Anything this good needs to be raved about.
Let’s talk about Gala for a moment.
I have a friend who wears them exclusively. Every time I see her, I seethe with a dark inner longing to look as good in those skins. I’ve actually gone and picked up the demos more than once, hoping that I was being overly critical the last time I looked. Finally, I gave up. The old Galas just didn’t suit me. My features are just too angular, or something.
Then came the new line, which I’ve seen peeks of here and there for some time now. I guess I’m an optimist, because I rushed out to pick up the demos as soon as I heard they were released.
Frankly, I’m astonished. The detailing on this skin is impressive, without the creepy photo-sourced look that usually accompanies such realism. The fresh, innocent blush to the cheeks… the delicate lips… the glossy smudge of the eye makeup… These skins are very… well, sweet. On most people, that is. On me, they look slightly mean. But that’s ok, I prefer it that way. ;)
(BTW, I’m focusing on the face here, but the body is equally as impressive. It’s got just about the sweetest little hooha you’ve ever seen.)
The outfit consists of some of my older favorites.
I can’t say enough good things about Cubic Effect… this skirt is one of my absolute staple pieces. The things she does with sculpted clothing continue to impress me. I was shocked to see I hadn’t actually blogged them yet, so I’ll be focusing on them soon in a post near you.

What I am feeling inspired to do is show you this new jacket that I have from Canimal. So without further jibber-jabber, I give you…
* cue dramatic music*
My First Post!
I saw this jacket on a hair ad, and was possessed with an unholy desire to find it an own it. For some reason, Canimal is just not one of my regular stops. The clothes there tend to never look as good on me as they do in the ad. The Rocker Jacket is an exception to that. :D
To compliment it’s zippery goodness, I paired it with the fabulous Zippy Pants from Wrong. Now, I really hate the built-in flares on system pants. So to get that nice slim cuff, I popped on the sculpted leg pieces from Armidi’s “Journey Tweed” pants. These are great, mod cuffs that I wear with a lot of my black pants. Just a tiny bit of tinting and tweaking, and most would never notice they aren’t textured to match. I mean, who really looks at your pants legs? Besides me, I mean.
Lots of belts, chains, and strappy bits later… and I am a rockstar. Rock out.
SLurls and prices after the cut.
