swooshhh, there runs the punk arse bride…
July 7, 2009
Hi I’m back from my mini-trip and feeling good. Here’s a little tipple of an outfit that I wore to LaGyo‘s Circus Collection launch party tonight (plus and minus a few things, due to deprimming). It’s a funky little outfit I call my own. Almost not circus-y, unless a punk ass runaway bride could make the show. About the collection: I’m deeply in love with Gyorgyna’s new collection. It’ not freakish or bright like a carnival, but deeply rich and glamourous and detailed like, say, a Cirque du Soleil performance. Dripping jeweled necklaces, embellished bangles, oversized earrings, lots of metal and precious stones and eye decorations! I am a very happy woman!
My skin is LAQ‘s new release, Claudia, a face that I just covet, though it’s release hasn’t gotten as much coverage as April. If April is the softly glamourous, ethereally delicate one, then Claudia is her refined, lushly exotic first cousin. Glowy-soft and so pretty in the style that could only be LAQ, Claudia is radiant with plush lips, dark brows and lightly tanned skin. I think her features would serve well in a fairer shade as well, with lighter brows…but this may just be a preference of mine since I am usually more ‘milky.’ The dark tone only makes me want to indulge in this face more- all summer long.
This kickin’ hairdo is by Undo of Shade Throne, and is one of 4 hair styles she is releasing today. All 4 styles come in 4 staple colors: dark platinum blond, blood red, chestnut brown and inky black. Just like Undo’s whole line, her new hairs exude glamour and attitude, two essentials of fashion. The concept behind the styles is ‘wet hair,’ as if you got out of the shower, pool or ocean- this can easily be translated into a good night’s bed-head or sexy tousled locks. Grab one or, if you’re smart, all of them. imho, they’re that good. <333Love, Abra

OK Rainbow
May 23, 2009
Ok, I’m still sort of in my tomboy mode and have another look soon to prove it, but for now I’m pausing to bring you a pretty bright, colorful and feminine number. It’s also a bit quirky too. *wink. I’ve had this kimono for months now, and was planning and planning to post with it…and then of course I go off on my trip and promptly forget about it, until NAO. DownDownDown‘s items caught my eye thisquick, in some obscure Japanese mall, somewhere on the grid. I came to find that DDD has had a location at one of my fav cute sims cioccolata, all along! Anywho, DDD’s clothes are a mix of tradition, art and punk, with bold color and patterns. There are some accessories, shoes (a cute freebie pair of geisha shoes that I meant to show until I found my HP caterpillars…), and these cool fluorescent light bulbs that I wanna build a skybox for- they are sooo cool.
With the DDD Kimono, I’m wearing Deja Vu‘s new ponytail style. Gosh, I love their glammy, sexy hairs and this new one, “Mint,” is no exception. My boots are from a Hotch Potch freebie that’s been going around the feeds. I’ve been meaning to post about them for weeks, but you know how it goes…they are lovely tho, aren’t they? Who doesn’t love “The Hungry Caterpillar” book?! The eye piece was my first monocle from way back when and I still looove it. My lil buddies are from Rebel Xtravaganza and El’n, because every rainbow geisha needs buddies. I dunno if you can see my lunchbox or my super cool BooN ring, but they are worth checking out too! Ok, gotta run! Love, Abra
