Ringmaster

As promised in my sneak preview the other night, here's the second outfit I bought at Cirque de Seraphim. For just under $200L, you get all of the clothing items except the hat and tights. Both the bolero jacket and corset come in 5 sizes and fitted mesh versions and alpha layers so you can wear each item separately or together. The outfit also comes in a lovely white/gold version. Cirque de Seraphim runs through November 26th.



Don't even talk to me about that hat. It's beautiful, but I loathe adjusting prim items - especially when hair is involved. I was glad I'd chosen black hair for this outfit, because it hides the little places where the hair pokes through the hat a bit. The swoop of the hair in the front also helped with positioning, because it's so well-constructed that it looks like it's falling over the brim of the hat.

Speaking of hair, the style I'm wearing in these photos is Exile's contribution to this month's Collabor88. You can get each color group for $88L or the entire Fatpack for only $888L!. Why are you still here? Go grab some bargains!

Tribute to a Doll

When I saw the eyebrows on Heartsick's Amor E Morte skin, I squealed with delight, slapped down my $75L for the fatpack, and scampered off to put together my best Amanda Palmer look. When I opened the box from Heartsick, I discovered the skin came in 3 tones with 6 makeup options each. As if that wasn't enough, each makeup comes with 2 eyebrow styles - normal and what I call "AFP brows," which are what's shown here. Each brow also comes with cleavage and no cleavage options. This is an older set of skins which is being retired, so if you're thinkin' about adding it to your collection, I wouldn't hesitate for too long. While you're there, grab the free fat pack of skins on the floor, as the Tairrie skin inside also has the lovely AFP eyebrows. (Actually, all of Amesha Jewell's skins are divine as are her voluptuous shapes.) I wish I could find more skins with interesting eyebrows like this or, even better, AFP eyebrows on a brow layer so I can wear them with all of my skins! I mean, just look at 'em!!

Okay, okay, enough about my eyebrows. (But, seriously guys, they're awesome!) I've been wanting to show you guys this hair from Dura for a long time, so I was pleased that it was just what I needed for this shoot. I then headed over to Rotten Toe who exceeded my expectations by offering up the perfect outfit for only $15L! (You see it very well in these photos, but it comes with prim fringe for both the skirt and top.)

I carried around a parasol for awhile before I remembered the free ukulele that I'd seen mentioned in the Virtual Vagabond blog. Hoping that it was still available, I 'ported over to the sim and, with a little poking 'round, happily discovered that luck was on my side.

Some gloves (with prim ribbons) from the SL Marketplace, my old standby Docs from Hoorenbeek, some MiaSnow peepers, a bottlecap necklace from Bliensen + MaiTai, and a tiny tophat from the Zombie Popcorn Hunt completed my look, so - resisting the urge to create a "Map of Tasmania" gesture - I set out to wander the grid.
