cheri so brilliantly blogged some of her german fashion finds from vanity universe i naturally had to go check out the scene myself. i honestly didn't think i'd uncover anything new, but look what turned up in the mimikri booth! a glamorously curve-loving freebie fit for a film noir queen:



[hair: detour, beloved (350L); lashes: bp* group gift (notice dated 5/20)]

in one of those happy confluences of slthings, the dress seemed meant to go with my recently acquired freeb cigarette holder from animah (check out the fantastic set of smoking poses while you're there! i knooowwwww, smoking is evil, but i figure since i'm good to my lungs in rl nowadays i'm perfectly happy with ruining my pixel ones), and the saucy little tophat from wild o. the hat isn't free, but at 10L you'd have to be a total scrooge to pass on it. but hurry hurry - this and three other colors are a grand opening type deal and only available through today (the 25th). for this tip much thanks to the lovely cerrie janus!

i saved fleur's new laura (which, speaking of film noir, immediately reminded me of the soul-achingly ethereal gene tierney in, errr, laura) skin for last... no silly, it's not free, but fleur is running a holiday weekend sale on certain skins, and you can grab laura for all of 250L. oh, and speaking of sales, if you haven't got a photosphere yet now's the time to do it. right now the photosphere is marked down to 750L and all backdrop packs are 150L.

alright, enough jibber jabber and abuse of parenthetical asides. i've got to get ready to get my memorial day partying on. have a lovely sunday, sweetie darlings!
