Now, I don’t know about y’all, but I absolutely *love* all the pastel colors that show up in the Spring! They just make me swoon! It’s the Springtime Swoon! That’s like being twitterpated but you do it over the colors, the clothes, the hair, the makeup, the flowers, the decor, the freaking everything!!!! I mean, I got an amazon gift card yesterday and I went all crazy about some pastel colored pens for my Bujo! Just so refreshing and bright and cheery! Can you tell I am not much of a winter time gal? 😉
But! I do digress! (Picture it, Sicily, 1920….) I have some amazing goodies for you today! This adorable outfit I am wearing comes to you from our Fab Free Designer Phoebe ~Piercings & more~.

….why, my blog post of course? *Waits for the groans to subside* Well, happy Thursday everyone! Trust me, my bad joke is not in vain, as this week, my blog post really is black and white…with a little bit of RED all over. I’m channeling my inner rockabilly, black and white movie star this week, both literally, and figuratively.
It all started with my dress. Before I go on, let me start by saying I got all my fabulous finds on the Marketplace, kinda. I’ll explain what the kinda means, a little bit later. Close-ups of each item are in the collage below. Oh yes, back to the dress. This gorgeous, retro coat/dress is from Angel DELUXE, and you can find it HERE on the Marketplace, for only L$9. It’s called the Poablack Rockabilly Coat, and it’s kind of like a wearable demo, except you can also get a demo for free if you’d like to try it on first. There are other versions of this beauty available, just not for the sweet L$9 price! It is mesh, and fits the standard sizes 🙂
My next retro-esque item is from [BE]lieve, and it is these sexy red heels I am sporting. When I saw the polka dots, while scrolling through pages and pages of shoes, I knew these were the ones. The aptly named Red Spiked Bow Heels are for SLink mid feet, and are non-rigged mesh, so you adjust their positioning if need be. I think they are a steal at only L$20, and the Marketplace link for them, is HERE. As an aside, the listing for these shoes says they are a 24hr promo only…but, I got them on Aug 5th, and as of today, they are still the same price. So they might be a permanent promo, or it’s just taking the creator awhile to change the price again, and if that’s the case, don’t wait to grab them if you love them like I do! I mean come on….spiked bows!
The last item I am featuring is my beautiful grey-toned skin. Now, this is where the ‘kinda’ comes in. You can find the lovely Film Noir Dame skin from Oddment on the Marketplace for a small sum of L$30 HERE. In the interest of full disclosure…I have actually had this skin in my inventory for many, many years, almost as long as I’ve been in SL. Do not let this persuade you that the skin is old and outdated…even after all this time, it is still beautiful. So no, there are not any appliers provided, however, a grey-tone is super easy to match, trust me! I almost did not need to use the ankle and wrist tattoo layers to blend my hands and feet, they were so easily matched. I have gotten a lot of wear out of Ms. Film Noir, and was super excited to see it still available, when I just happened across it recently, in a random search on Marketplace. Hooray!
With a few more added touches (a few FabFreely priced, L$75 or under) to complete my outfit, I think I totally rocked my rockabilly/retro tv movie star look! Don’t you? How lucky was I to find a red phone booth for my main picture? LOL. With the fogginess of the W/L setting I chose, I felt like I was in a horror movie, with a monster, or zombie ready to pop out from behind the booth at any second! OK, now I need popcorn, this sounds like a great movie night! *grins*
OK lovelies, that is it for my post this week. I already have some thoughts in mind for next weeks post, so you keep an eye out next Thursday! Until then, TTFN.

Who says cowgirls don’t wear pink?! A little bit cowgirl, a little bit rock n’ roll, there are some great gifts out at the Feeb’s Rascal Street Sales Event. This month’s gifts are a must have for anyone who loves the color pink! X.pression has this pretty pink cowgirl hat with a super fun polka-dotted band, just what I needed to wear with my pink boots! Also out this month is a gift from Phoebe ~ Piercings & more~, a set of art deco looking rings. Now that I had the rings, I had to have the matching necklace, of course! Luckily, Phoebe is also offering the matching necklace at the promo price of $10L to all group members! Got my hat, got my jewelry, something is still missing… Ink! Just recently one of the Fab Free “birdies” told me about !LN tattoos on the Second Life Marketplace. Right now you can score several sexy tattoos from !LN on the Marketplace for as little as $5L. !LN also has one free gift tattoo available, also on the Marketplace! ENJOY!
