Dress me up: Elora by Artemisa

So you thought I was done with this challenge?  Well, you should have known better, it ain’t over till the fat lady sings and Art did ask for an opera singer. This felt like a trip to the past for me. About a year ago I had a lot of fun exploring SL with this handsome guy, and once I did dress up as an opera singer, so of course I had to get that dress back. Then I looked for the place… and found it didn’t exist  anymore. So I went back to Owl’s and decided the drama zone was the right place. That’s when I started the pics and simply had too much fun. So I decided to get a music… needed one more singer and Quinn was kind enough to oblige me.

Now I know this is not the way to do a proper fashion post, but then, I don’t really care!  Credits under the clip.

Dress me up: Elora by Gidge

Thank you so much for the idea Gidge, I had a great time putting it together. First I did my homework, as the nice girl I (seldom) am, and turned out the photo by Clayton Patterson:

As you can see the chucks are the only easy part. So a bit more research and a bit of memories (I’d like to tell you I was very young at the time… Think I can pull it off?) and I came up with this:

 I started by visiting  Sn@tch, one of my favorite stores ever. There was a time of my SL I practically lived there ogling the models (/me waves to Xav). As I expected I already had most of it in my closet, so I moved  on to IZUMIYA to check the wet hair Gidge had mentioned. I bought it but didn’t look greasy enough, still I ended up buying an ear cuff and a great coat (a bargain, really) I’m not wearing here. I always feel like I’m at a thrift store at Izumiya and nothing feels more grunge. So, pretty sure I had enough stone washed pants I went on a quest for the perfect greasy hair and making my very first enemy-creator, after all no one will like me calling his/her hair greasy. But such is the fate of a blogwriter. And the winner is:

This hair is an amazing creation by Lag Designs, and I just had to add the red highlights. The store is a very nice one and features mainly male hairs, quite affordable ones too. Maybe one day we’ll have a review of these to appease the creator, eh?

So to complete the outfit I just had to find good tight jeans by Callie Cline and a hooded sweater and here it is: 

Yes, the flannel red shirt manages to increase my already huge bum. Also happens in rl, but no grunge outfit would be complete without one.

Thanks once again to Gidge for all the fun and credits to the designers:

Yes, i’m Fat

Now stop staring. We can be whatever we choose, right? And I’m not gonna explain my choices (at least not today). What I’m going to do is write about how to be fat and free, when you don’t choose to be fat free.

First rule: Lovely on Barbie doesn’t mean lovely on you:

Stopped laughing yet?

Well, all the items are lovely and best quality. They just don’t seem to suit me.

Poses – Free chubby poses at [LAP]

Boots –  Fashion Boots “New York” Black at B & T

Hair – Sadies- Auburn at Bishwear

Skin –  Elizabeth (fair) – Enticing (red) by::Tuli::

Cutoffs – Tomboy ripped shorts by caLLie cLine’s

Glasses – Danielle Black Glasses by INSOLENCE

Shirt – Winter Custom Shirt by Imso Obscure (IM in World)

Imso’s shirt is by far the worst, as the pic of Winter on it is sadly misshaped, causing her beautiful eyes to look… well…slanted…

Also the hair is no good, adding volume instead of framing my face… then there’s my back:

Cutoffs are NOT an option with this kind of shape, even beautiful ones, like these.

Finally the boots. These are great boots, won after many a day waiting for the right letter on a lucky chair. I whooped when it turned to E at last, and then I yelped when i tried them on and saw they were no mod. The boot prim goes right inside my leg and there are chunks of muscle (fat really) missing. A total Wrong Click Wear.

Now for the good news, one can be fat AND still look good:

Yes, it’s me, same shape, same skin…

Necklace – FREE Strawberry Necklace by !* Rebel -X- *!

Poses – Free chubby poses at [LAP]

Skin –  Elizabeth (fair) – Enticing (red) by::Tuli::

Glasses – Danielle Black Glasses by INSOLENCE

Jeans – “mainLine” denim dark black jeans by caLLie cLine’s

Chucks – Hi-Top Kool Kicks (Women’s Black) at KK Footwear

Top – Pinstripe Corset by *TorridWear*

Hair – Kawaii – auburn at Eat Rice!

Now the hair frames my face without enlarging it:

Also, the same… bumps that slanted Winter’s eyes make a very pleasant cleavage, even if I say so myself (and I better, cos no one else will). Accessorizing up diverts attention away from the hips and into my face. Still have to deal with back and feet, no miracles here, but black is always safe, and chucks much better than boots when you have a big leg.

Also a nice texture will atract the eye and spare your feelings. Remember nothing is more flatering than a sunny disposition.
