The Skyclad Fashionista: Elikatira

Happy Birthday, America! I must say, you're looking great for your age!

So, I actually had no intention of being online today at all... I had INTENDED to spend the whole day with my Fluffy at the 4th of July festivities that our little town holds each year, but the weather had different ideas... For the first day in about 2 weeks it's sunny and VERY hot... 90 degree weather with 90% humidity isn't great weather when you're a chubby porcelain-skinned little thing like I am, and, even in shorts and a bikini, after about 2 hours (and about 3 miles of bike riding @.@) I had to call it quits and retreat to the safety of my AC and lots of water...

But hey, since I had a lot of time on my hands, I thought I would get all America-ed up to celebrate!!

The lovely boyfriend of mine decided recently he wanted to try his hand at doing cars here in SL... (I guess his RL love of cars just took over lol) So I "borrowed" this gorgeous cherry red Chevelle to pose on... because what's more American than a good old American muscle car?!

You'll have to forgive me, a good bit of this post is all about fabulous little ME! The bangles, necklace, and headband I'm wearing are all from my very own shop, --[Pins & Needles]--

I absolutely LOVE this swimsuit! Can you believe it's only $L30? but hurry if you want it on sale because the sale ends TODAY! the swimsuit comes with tangos appliers (which are also compatible with Lush breasts and Vstrings X_X Evos, which is what I'm wearing!) AND those adorable mesh sunglasses!

I hope everyone has a great 4th of July, whether you're American like me or not (but ESPECIALLY if you are!! )

P.s. I originally intended to wear rigged mesh feet, but because I use the tiptoe ones... let's just say the angles those ankles bent at were kind of sickening X.x and hey, I really don't want anyone guffing all over their keyboard because that's just no fun, right? But anyway...

Hey, do you know what else loves America?? My...

So, today we here in the USA took a great big step in the right direction for marriage equality. Today, our Supreme Court ruled in FAVOR of equality and overturned both prop 8 and DOMA. While this isn't the end of the battle over marriage equality, it is the first step on the road to winning that war!

In celebration of this awesome event, my partner and I got together, I put on as much awesome rainbow as I could find, and we decided to be adorable. While my partner and I are not in a same-sex relationship, here or in SL, we both wholeheartedly support LGBT rights, and to show our support, he decided to be a SHE for a while!

This pose is actually a hunt gift from Atooly! I was so excited to find it! My boots were a limited edition item from EPIC! I hope they're still around to grab!

Fluffy's necklace is actually a freebie on the marketplace from Elysium, mine is a group gift from my very own shop! both are 100% high quality mesh and totally filled with love.

In case you were wondering, my shirt reads "I can't think straight!"

Stand united!

You know what else loves equality? The...

Okay so now that I am back from taking care of my partner, and myself (although the legal bit of that battle isn't over yet...ugh, doctors AND lawyers? I'd rather have a root canal!), I needed something fun to do... so a friend of mine told me about the arcade gatcha event that's going on right now, and I just had to check it out... Now, I LOVE a good sale, but I really have the worst luck, and I hate taking chances... SO the arcade yard sales are the thing for me!!

Just in case you're not sure what I'm talking about, an arcade yard sale, or gatcha yard sale, is where people get together and sell off the extra items they got from the gatcha machines at the arcade event. Sometimes you can get a GREAT deal and find items for even less than the gatcha price, but more often than not the items are at the price for a play at the gatcha, or more if the item is a rare one.

Thankfully, all of the items I wanted from the event were commons, and I managed to get everything I wanted, mostly for the gatcha price, but a few for less.

So, when I saw that +Half-Deer+ were offering unicorn horns and tails in their gatchas, I just HAD to have some... there were no two ways about it...

I ended up getting the Rainbow sherbet, Berry Lemon, and cupcake in the horns... still looking for the "bad apple" ones!, and the Lotus, poisonberry, and lavender tails. My partner was feeding my awful need for these, and ended up buying me 2 out of the three tails, and a pair of the horns without me asking, or even knowing till he sent them to me! He's just awesome like that :3

Along with all of the excitement of the yard sale searching, I also found out that it was Iki Ikiri of Violent Seduction's rezday! To celebrate, she lowered the price of her sailor tops and bloomers to just $L10 a piece!! I ended up buying 6 tops (a black and white version of 3 different colours) and 3 pairs of bloomers that matched!

Inworld and away from my keyboard, I collect plushies of all shapes and sizes, and SilentSparrow is one of my favourite places to get them! The adorkable rainbow unicorn that I'm snuggling above is a previous $L50 fridays item, as well as the rainbow dragon below...

However, they also had CORGIS at the arcade gatcha event!! I squee-ed so hard when I saw them that my partner thought I was broken! I managed to find my favourite one, waffles, in the flopped position, but am still looking for Flopsie for my partner. These corgis are seriously so freaking adorable that it's just absolutely unbearable.

You won't need to play the gatcha to get the...

So, after poking and prodding our schedules, and our wardrobes, I FINALLY got to do a photo shoot with one of my favorite people, Dragon. Dragon has a fantastic fashion blog called "The Rainbow Fashionista". In addition to that, she is not only one of my very best friends, but one of the best dressed people I have ever seen in SL. Originally, this post was supposed to be done before easter, but RL had other ideas... as it so often does... After barreling through the Pink Fusion hunt like twin tornadoes, draggy and I kicked each other in the butt enough to put together two complimentary looks from the amazing hunt prizes.

After choosing our lovely spring themed outfits (which were supposed to be easter-y... oops) we scoured the marketplace for just the right poses, and Embody had the absolute perfect ones!

Originally, there was some debate as to who was going to rock this super sexy bunny mask, but after comparing our outfits, it was clear that it went absolutely perfectly with hers, and not so much with mine...

So I nicked the antlers instead! These are terribly adorable, and I just couldn't pass them up... they were the perfect finishing touch to my outfit. One piece that we both agreed on, and both ended up wearing was the piercing set from Hebenon Vial. She and I have both agreed that this is our new favorite piercing store. (btw, shortly after we took this pic, I dropped all of the eggs... that was not fun to clean up >.> )

Watch your head, because here comes the...
