The Weekend's Here!

Time to relax - maybe do a little mending ...

Now that I'm a bona fide-y fashion blogger (ha!), I get previews of coming attractions and then just when I am preparing to take a photo (setting up my photo box with poser, shedding my dancing duds), SL crashes on me (could that have anything to do with the 37,000+ item inventory I carry about with me? Naaah!).  I figger, it's late, I'll just go to bed and do this in the morning.
So, after a refreshing sleep, interrupted only by two cats using me as a trampoline so they get fed, here is this weekend's Project Themeory Offering from Bottle Bird.  There is also a green tee that goes with it, but the jeans are what is so cute.  Not just the sweater leg, but look at the safety pin holding the top closed!  Hahahaha-hem.  Been there, done that.  The motto on the dark pink tee reminds me of my mom who used to say, "Use it up, wear it out, make it do."  She mentioned that to a friend of hers once who responded, "That's sick!"
Perhaps this explains the 37,000+ items in my inventory.  The pixels just don't wear out!

Also, you may recall my homage to Dany French Touch a while back.  Yesterday I got a new box of Freebies (men's and women's) and was excited all over again.

New Dany French Touch outfit and Secret Shelf boots

So, I get ready to do another sycoph- umm glowing post on her stuff and this morning there is another notice - that everything in the shop is free.  There are about 20 outfits each for men and women - all unique.  Now, that should keep you busy this weekend.

Bottle Bird Project Themeory jeans and tee
flats ... don't remember, just wear them allll the time.
Dany French Touch Black and white dress with panniered skirt, puff sleeves, trailing ... arm thingies.
Secret Shelf Dirigible Damsel Stiletto boots, color changing with Steampunk option, only 49L!!!

Unslutty and Inconstant

I'm always promising myself to not get involved in another [insert humorous expletive here] hunt - and then I see some pictures on the freebie blogs [list at right] and it's "Goggles on, chocks away, last one back with the goodies is a Euro-Federalist!" - again.  The men's prizes at Rag Dollz has already been touted by Carson, but nowhere did I see the women's prize!

You can tell it's Steampunk by all the spinning gears.

The dress is a gleaming gown with beautiful details and has the handheld mask as well as a tattoo mask.  I had sent Cal to get the men's prize and he peeked at the women's prize box before tossing it away (Cal wouldn't be caught dead in this outfit) and tipped me the wink.  He also told me where it was hidden - sweet of him, as if the avs standing around the area weren't a good enough clue.  You, however, are on your own.  It's not that hard.  They at least give hints for the Steampunk Hunt.  Now, that Twisted Hunt is a horse of a different chinashop.

Peep-Bo!  It's just Lludmila!

While I was pawing through the pile of bargains in the 60L Weekend notecards, I came across a photo of some glasses that looked so nicely detailed that I visited the shop.  It's called Hatpins and has, as should be expected, the loveliest collection of vintage hats and other accessories for the meticulously unslutty.

Lludmila tries a demo cloche hat (just love those!) at Hatpins.

 Coincidentally, Hatpins also has a Steampunk hunt prize comprising a hat (of course) and goggles - well, a goggle.

The goggle hunt prize - OMG, Lludmila needs to start eating cookies!

Hat - without steam

What paroxysms of delight one could experience changing the color of the hatband and tinkering with the colors of steam.  The little needles on the dials on the hat move, too!  This really "pegs the needle" on my happiness meter!  Their blog.

Hmm, I forgot to get those 60L glasses!  Will have to go back.  [Makes note to self: "Re-read this blogpost."]

A Delicious Red

Verging on Bohemian glass, a regal gown.

Kathy shows off her eyelash adjusting technique.

Again something gorgeous in the group gifts from The White Armory.  I hope this can continue, considering they are developing a Premium Group for an ungodly amount (my memory is of somewhere between 2,000 and 5,000L per month - but the thought of that amount of money for virtual goods [that doesn't neigh or canter] shut down my brain and I can't recall now the actual cost).  Pardon me, I must retire to mah fainting couch and be fanned by some scantily-attired young person.
