Hi. Have you been to the Drowsy Summer Scary Festival? There is much to be had in way of cute freebies and new products and you just must go if you haven’t! TP to the Drowsy sim and follow the ghost hands. Remember, what you see isn’t necessarily what you get…;D. Click around for cute free items and newly released clothes and furniture. I am so smitten!
Check the BP* blog for more details. The festival will be on until July 22nd, Japan time! <33Love, Abra
Hi. I wasn’t going to post today, then the fantastic sim Drowsy opened and I had to post a little about it. I’ve been waiting in anticipation for it’s opening, and it’s even better than I expected. If you haven’t explored it yet, I’d do so soon as many beautiful sites and opening gifts await you. Check out the gift list below, if you want some direction.
I’d also like to mention my hair, a new favorite, funky style by Irollic. I hadn’t been to Irollic for a while, and was so happy to discover these fantastic braids. Each color comes with two style variations; in the other, the braid wraps around the front of the neck in a really cool way. Also, Gala Phoenix has released new makeups in the newest fact ‘June.’ I’ve really been loving this skin, and I’m so grateful for more makeup variations. Gala’s really on a roll as far as creative, beautiful, wearable colors and textures. I could have taken this dress to a sunny location, but I hadn’t been to House of Munster in a while and couldn’t resist the meat hooks. lol.
I made my way over to the Kalavinka Gallery in Rhizome, and picked up some of the most beautiful paintings. There’s also a free 2009 calender there and it’s beautiful enough to be a work of art in itself. I’m not sure how often this gallery changes, but last time I was there the paintings were different. Also, some $1L art from ArtMeter, at another part in Rhizome. It’s easier if you just take the slurl here. If you go to KIN-DZA-DZA, you can pick up more gifts, art and a cute little skybox. And at Epicurean, I found a pretty set of lingerie for $5L. I’m still sim hopping like nobody’s business and will report the findings soon. Love, Abra

I have nothing to wear
June 6, 2009
Oh do I? ;) Taking my inspiration from Flutter’s musing, which I’m sure rings true for most people ‘without anything to wear’, I bring multiple outfits which prove once and for all- in public and in writing, that I do have something to wear. Just remind me that when I feign exhaustion from laundry day. haha. <3
.one. DARK HORSE
Undooz of Shade Throne made the most bombdigginswaggerin’mofo-of-a-necklace ever, and she named it after me! I cannot contain my lust for this necklace. I wanna drench you in gold paint and take your pic-sha baby. My gown is G Field, home of one of the best and largest collections of (awesome) rose inspired clothing that I’ve found. You must have been before, but if you haven’t, please go. Buy some rose shoes to wear with your summer dresses already. I don’t know how often or how much I’ve expressed my love for Fashionably Dead skins, so I will say it here and now: brilliant!!, beautiful!!!, quirky! =D, unique, cute-cute-cute, imaginative, oh-so-flattering, versatile, hand-drawn, well-named goodness. I know you already know that, but I really had to say it out loud. (ps. This is one from the previous collection, which is just as good as the current ones imho. Well done skins will always be stylish.) My shoes are from [KA] Designs and I dug them out of the closet because they are just the heel for this dress- I forgot I had them so it was like Christmas! lol. The ciggie is from Foxy’s Island Smoke Shop, thanks to the fashion bloggers group for helping me find it! (luff u guys <3) This one is a ‘switching’ ciggie, so it appears and hand or mouth on auto rotation. Yes smoking is bad for you, then again if you’re going to do something do it well.
. . .
.two. GONZO
A look that evolved out of another look, I like the way it turned out. There are a lot of different elements in here, different styles. My favorite looks are ones that combine favorite elements into a cocktail shaker, *shake shake* and you’ve made your look. Resident genius curioala Gala Phoenix has just released another “throw my body over the train tracks for just a taste” skin, “June” and like everything she makes, it’s all impeccably crafted details, dreamy/fun/interesting makeup, luminescent, just-that-side-of-dewy perfection. The face is beautiful, a little more mature than my beloved April’s, but related close enough that one can wear it and still feel themselves. Full review to come soon! (I have to show you these makeups! pure elated ecstasy) My dear friend Jeanie has just released new hairs at her store (Posh) and I am really loving them! My favorites are the twin tails, cinderella, richie and this one, ‘kelly after sex.’ The hairs are sculpted, come in 4 colors and, gosh, a lot of styles. I’m so happy to have some in my closet- Jeanie I can’t wait to see what you release next! <33 These BP* pants are my favorite, BettiePage could make a banana peel dress look cute, etherial and playful.
Looking forward to upcoming 69, BP*, Uglydorothy releases. New goodness is highly stimulating! Muah! <3Love, Abra

Happiest Day Dizney aka. Minnie & Mickey!
May 14, 2009
Cheese, anyone? Cheers to my friend December and her new dress, the cutest Minnie Mouse inspired number in SL. I love the puffy pantaloons underneath the polka-dot skirt and who can resist shoes with spats on them?! OMFG, I am so in love with spats!!! Get it at !Tarnished and get happy. =D Upon first seeing it I thought of pairing it with Rockberry‘s awesome character skin that’s been floating around the feeds. Seriously, why didn’t someone think of a sepia toned skin before? Actually I do own another one somewhere, but delicately speaking, it’s just not as freaking mindblowingly gorgeous as RB’s.
I must be on a roll here, because I stopped by the always stunning Chapeau tres Mignon and found out there is a bunch of Dizzzney inspired accessories there as well. Why haven’t I seen these everywhere yet?! Come on people I was gone for 3 weeks! ;p I’m wearing the killer Mickey Death hat (!!) and Dizney necklace, but there are also some awesome Bambi shades I’ll have to feature later and a badass Duck hat. I seriously love this store to no end, Megg is forever delighting her follower’s imaginations. Worn along side all the cartoon mumbo-jumbo, I’ve chosen to wear my favorite en svale suspender pants, with the ‘male pants attachments’ on for a more belled look and Drowsy‘s endlessly cute ribbon tee. Drowsy is a new shop featuring an all-star cast of collaborators from some of my favorite Japanese shops: sato Yifu & Nico Rotaru of KUROTSUBAKI, BettiePage Voyager of BP* and Mai Runo of Zero Number. (Seriously, could it get any better please?) The girls have cooked up some of the cutest tees on the grid, all with multiple layers & tuck-ins (essential in my eyes) and cheeky-adorable graphics that leave you wanting one of each. I mean it! I had sooo much trouble choosing which ones I liked the best. I don’t know what it is, but something about collaborations just drive me crazy. I think it’s all that combined talent thrown into the pot, each person adds their little bit of goodness and, in turn, the finished product is just something else. It’s like that ‘Stone Soup’ story we read as kids, yea? Enjoy your day, ya brilliant peeps. Love, Abra
