The Love of a ballerina and a Cactus...

is clearly a precious thing! ^_^ So I was at The Thrift Shop, feeding my terrible gacha addiction, when I came across these super cute poses from Vanity Poses! I'd had this ballerina outfit kicking around in my head for awhile and this pretty much sealed it for me.

A warning about this tutu dress - the alpha didn't fit my shape at all so you may need to do some shape adjusting to make sure you're all covered. Time to dance off into the sunset with my darling Cap'n the Cactus!

Strawberries Are T.A.R.T

A while back I posted about a new store called Fishy Strawberry, luff the name and luff the store!! My how it's grown since I was last there, heaps of gorgy new clothes for you to go crazy over, and of course a dollarbie!



Isn't this shirt the kyootist? Pick it up for a linden at the main store. The leggings shown aren't free, but serve as a good example of this awesome designer's work.





These 2 yummies are the latest freebies from T.A.R.T. It's one of my fave stores and I spend waay to much time and money there!! Not sure how long they will be out for so grab em now. The first outfit has a system skirt, so have yer flat bummed, no hips shape ready to go XD!







I saw quite a few of you at the Shiki opening event. As well as a whole table of freebies at the landing point, there's a treasure hunt on. I'm afraid I only found the Baiastice goodies, while walking in place for 5 mins at a time, flying into walls and getting stuck under the floor. The lag was beyond bad *whispers JEVN=evil*, but I'm sure it's much improved now! The hair is not free, but from my much loved Cocoluv, whom I've blogged several times before. If you're reading this Coco, I'm the crazy lady who's been in your IM box begging you to do Hair Fair!! I hope you do because your designs are made of awesome and really should be seen on a larger scale 33.

German Fashion & Style Show + Gifts and other stuff!

From one of the notices that was sent out today I discovered the German Fashion & Style Show which runs from 17.5 - 14.6.2008 , so there's plenty of time to grab these great gifts, I was just desperate for some lag 'n rubberbanding :P

I am only featuring a few bits in this post, there are tons of freebies & dollarbies...

Note: The slurls are not the main stores, they're markers for the Fair stalls at the show.

First off is this free Betsy skin by HD Skin Design, the machine that gives it is a little touchy but it should arrive after a bit



With it I am wearing the lovely $1 Sasa dress from Liberte, so delicate in white.
Hair: Danny II in black - TRUTH (previous dollarbie/no longer available)



I couldn't believe my eyes at how lovely this was when I put it on, this is the beautiful, bold Fairy dress from Freda's with 2 different skirts.. one of which is a tutu! ($1 which includes another separate outfit).

Onto to the shoes...

Also found these gorgeous free Ballerina Flats from Ibizarre, so nicely sculpted, I love this texture... reminds of a tweed coat I used to own!

Also, Rosemary Galbraith of Rosemar Sent out another beautiful set of skins in her update group which is well worth the $250 join fee as she sends out numerous high quality gifts per month, I'm featuring it with the necklace from Pixel Mode, along with that I'm wearing the Anti Reactionary Dress by Royal Blue (50% off & everything is under 50L at this slurl), hair: bouffant 2 by Mercury Couture (not free/store no longer exists).
