Geek Chic

I have to admit that this crazy little outfit was originally inspired by Sai (and a gift from Winter! <3), when she blogged this too-cute dress from Elate. What they say is true, the prim ruffles on it really are perfect…no resizing required for the big booty, and it just moves and wiggles in such a fun way. Of course, I can’t just do anything simple, I had to give it my own personal twist…

Enter Curio Obscura’s ‘Sausage Curls’ …how can you not want to slap hair on your head that has sausage in the name? With a hair like this I really can’t take myself seriously (not that I ever do) …and the glasses I had just recently picked up free from VintageWear gave me the dorky edge I was looking for. It’s kind of like a nerd walked into a circus tent – with lots of black. I really wanted to add a hat or some kind of topping to this hair, but nothing I had in my inventory went well with it, if you guys have any ideas let me know!

Leggings, I love leggings, but you guys already knew that, and although this dress truly is a stand-alone beauty, I wanted to tone it down a notch and take it from night-out, sexy-slink to frilly-cute, sun-fun. Those lace trimmings you see on the bottom of the leggings do not come included, I jacked them from a pair of socks I have and adjusted them to look like they go together. I am so clever. :p

The shoes were just a bit of too-chic mixed in because I think it’s fun(ny) to take something ultra-uber-omg-hawt-shit and mix it up with stuff that doesn’t even make sense. I threw in some sleeve-tats for a little extra freak, slapped some stitched insides on Dove’s back and yeah…I put a spider on her shoulder, I have no idea why. I think he’s cute though. And there you go, fashion-blahblah. This is why I don’t do this blogging stuff ‘professionally’ ….

Poofy Creep

I haven’t been able to *really* get dressed in weeks…I’ve been too busy to take the time required for an outfit assembly. I’ve been ‘out-of-the-box’ing it. GASP. Not just that, but my inventory hasn’t been sorted in probably two months, I had 8k worth of items sitting, taunting me. Today I started breaking it down some, since I’m home-alone for the weekend (miss you already baby!) and in the process I found a few pieces that were a *must* to wear so I started throwing them on.

The main reason for this outfit and probably the piece that I most adore is this new dress from amerie’s NAUGHTY, it’s called Jellybean and it’s too cute! Lots of lace, poofy, figure-swallowing skirt and a HUGE bow on the front! Yes, it’s pink …but I dealt with it. :p You can mod it and tint that sucker any color you want, I left it alone because the pink broke up all the black rather nicely.

I have so many hairs from booN and I can’t pick a favorite, they’re all such great texture work and rich colors, and the styles are so unique – you can easily spot a booN hair in a crowded room. This one isn’t a style I would normally wear but when I bought it I knew it would fit my dolly-girl looks pretty well. I love that it’s so big, you can’t really tell in these photos but in the back it layers and layers, kind of swelling out and up, like an onion. I love that.

The shoes were kind of hard for me to settle on, I thought I wanted to do the typical chunky ribbons and straps gothy-lolita style shoe but I really really love my UBU rainboots and I think they give any poofy dress outfit a nice dose of ‘aw cute’ in the way they are over-sized and clunky-looking. I can just picture shorty Dove running around struggling not to let the rain boots trip her up or fall off of her feet.

Lastly, I wanted huge, spine-crippling beads for a necklace and I recalled that HoH had just released a new necklace that fit perfectly! I’m wearing the silver version which is mod, so I just tinted it black and voila. As for the rest, it’s all goodness but I’m too lazy to actually mention it. A little modded-up curious kitties, a too-sweet freebie hat, fuzzy leather gloves, and of course some killer socks. For a final dose of cutie-effect, I threw this funny little guy on Dove’s back and let him ride around for awhile…figure I might as well get some use out of all the crazy shit I have in my ‘Random Stuff’ folder. Heh.

Where’s Dove?

Ha. I was logged out because I haven’t visited wordpress in so long, and when I went to type in ‘wordpress.com’ I typoed and put ‘wadpress.com’ …heh. Okay, anyway, that’s not why I’m posting. ;p I’m posting to give you guys an update and share some stuffs!

First of all, I had some major power issues this week, I was pretty much offline from Monday night until Thursday evening. ARGH. Worst-week-evar for that to happen. So now I’m behind in ..well…pretty much everything and I already had too much on my plate as is.

What’s on my plate?
I’m trying to almost simultaneously open four, yes FOUR, satellite shops on the grid. I am in the process of expanding and reordering my main shop. I’ve already done a complete wipe of the landscaping and changed that. I’m also trying to get out the female sets of poses I’ve been promising for a month now, 3 are done just need boxed, 2 are in the works and I have over 5 new couples and group sets. OY! I swear, the photoshopping part takes longer than the actual poses themselves. Motherfuck. I am also a sponsor to an event. Participating in the fash expo. Working on a couple of larger collaborative projects with others and …god what else. lol.

If not for Law keeping me sane I might have already snapped. Speaking of! As soon as the new GLAM issue comes out you guys should run and get it – my honey wrote an article for the magazine! I won’t gush and bubble too much ..but yeah.

What else. OOOOH!! Another thing that has been keeping me on my toes lately are the newest additions to my family! Meet my new babies, arrived a week ago, baby orange and black baby.

That was taken the first day I got them, they are only about 3 weeks old and their eyes were barely open. I got them from someone who was a neighbor to the people that left them homeless! They moved and took the mama cat with them and totally left all the babies to die. So the neighbor took them in and couldn’t do it by herself so she gave some away, and I got my two girls! I still have to bottle feed them, but they’re growing and learning SO fast.

That’s my babies snuggling after an epic brawl, they’re about 4 weeks old now. I’ve named black baby, little cricket. For now we’re calling baby orange, pretty baby – but I think I might change that to darlin girl or precious or something like that since she’s such a sweetheart. Cricket is a total punk – mean, she’s totally the adventurer, fearless…first to climb out of the box, first to not only climb ONTO the couch, but also nose-dive off of it. Baby orange is just sweet and shy, but she’s definitely the smart one, she took to the bottle first, and also used the litter box first.

So yeah, they are a handful themselves and keeping me quite busy too. I guess that’s all for updates on the where-abouts of Dove. :p Wish me luck! <3
