Who Says Skirts Are Just For Men?

Lludmila bought Cal a present last year: it was a huge collection of kilt outfits that was actually transferable and some ridiculously low price for what must have been 8 to 12 outfits in authentic plaids.  And he looks gorgeous in them.  I figured we didn't need any more kilts.  Ohhhh, and then I saw this Midnight Mania kilt from b[ELLE]isima! ... in purplllllle!  So I sent the landmark to Cal (these MM and other freebies are very rarely transferable), but the more I thought about it (and having seen it on Waldron - drool, drool), the more I decided Lludmila needed one of her own.  The MM board only requires 70 hits, so I had to get up pretty early Thursday morning to get on it (having been too late on Wednesday).

There's a MM board with a dress in it, too.  Ho hum, you might say - but that comes with some magenta short boots that don't quite go with the dress but are very, very nice.  Outfits seldom come with shoes!  Hit that one, too.

The hair with the bow headband, which is perfect for Lludmila, comes in two styles and is from a lucky board at D!va.  I totally misread that as a Midnight Mania - but Lludmila's letter came up in less than 10 minutes!  I was off checking my plurks, thinking it would be a while, but - Prestone!  There is another hair also available in another lucky board, but it's a blonde updo and I figgered my luck was used up for the morning.

Shoes, of course, are from Duh!  Like, duhhhhh!  I mention them all the time.  Go back and look for the slurl - I have Christmas dinner to start working on.

Oh yeah - looks good on guys, too.

It's All Gone Quiet Over There

Here's someone I haven't heard from in a while: Dany French Touch. I was collecting my freebies, going from one advent location to another, when I caught sight of the landmark for DFT in my inventory.  If you're new to SL (or just a total cheapskate, like I am), you can go here and pick up a wealth of interesting outfits for just one Linden each.  Just look at this wall:

There are about nine outfits for men and a dozen for women, both modern and historic.  Even the full price outfits on either side are only 150L!  And I was sorely tempted by that peachy colored one on the far right until I noticed that there are some of these dollarbies I haven't worn in a while.  Dang, that Mona outfit is cute and that's just sitting in my inventory!  The Constellation dress is something that when I wear it, I get loads of compliments.  And I love the Melissandre, a period outfit that piques the imagination: little match girl? governess? Les Misérables?  These are not cookie-cutter patterns stamped out and mass-produced in various colors, but individual textures designed and assembled with care.  Check out this store, if you haven't been there - even for a while.  If nothing else, it will remind you of great stuff in your inventories you haven't worn in a while.

By the way, that box at the bottom is the tip jar.

Update: It is so sad that Dany French Touch is no more. We miss you!
