Happy Year of the Dragon!

Truth District has been mobbed ever since the 50% off sale was announced this weekend. The fact that many Truth hairs are on sale is reason enough to run over (you gotta nab 'em at the Truth District location for the sale price), including this week's brand-new "Alexis" double ponys updo, offering just my kind o' whimsical girlie style.
One truly remarkable aspect about SL is how multi-cultural our community is -- and how easily we can all embrace diversity, at least in our individual style. Many creators are honoring the Year of the Dragon with adorable Chinese New Year gifties, like these paper cutout framed pictures free by bbqq; today's look also celebrates red as the traditionally lucky color, from this free cherry-striped mesh dress to the new cerise bloom earmuffs by Boom (something about this rich cherry color so reminds me of the Beats headphones I keep seeing on hipster heads around Manhattan).
In other news, if you haven't rolled around in a messy pool of spilled liquid recently -- well, you just haven't been embracing your inner video vixen. *strums air guitar, flicks more tea in hair*
It's sorta funny that after I shot this thing, I found the RL figurine (that I'm guessing this was inspired by) on flickr here, hehe.

Here's hoping everyone embraces their inner dragon (or other legendary creature of choice). Shin Nyan Kwai Luh love + fashionista kisses to all!

On Retail Therapy and Dental Hygiene

As everybody knows by now, Stiletto Moody is having a 70% off everything sale thru the end of today (Wed). Here's 2 looks I built around these over-the-knee boots that I remembered I wanted; the corset lingerie (w/ tres flouncy lace skirt) is free, as is the floral beret by Mocha. -- See how Gavin decided to miss my buttie's big day out here.
Guess what? Turns out your orthodontist was right: dental hygiene is close to godliness. *brushes teef as the heavens open*
* This pic was inspired by that girl with the crazy PS skillz, Dango Jewell here.

In other news: SLexy airkisses to Blur Mannequin as our newest guest blogger! She's an amazin' hunter, plus I think her poses are some of the funnest on the grid (irreverent, attitudinal, very Blur!) which btw are a total steal at $10L a pop. She's put out tons of gifties (i.e., lotsa guilt-free retail therapy) + other cute shiznits here. *mwuahs Blur Mannequin*

Retail therapy love + fashionista kisses to all!
