Friday Focus: A League of my Own

(In my own tiny mind)

Sometimes blogging on Fridays sucks.  End of the week after Hair Fair has been did like a squid? Yeah.  Rough to follow that up.  Sucks when I see blogs popping up with what I have put together to cover, and I can’t really change (cause I can’t rez anything else dammit)

I was bothered by this, and had some good feedback on it.  Cajsa Lilliehook (who is pretty damned cool and always has excellent words of wisdom in discussions) opined that although things may be on the feeds, there are those who might not have seen them anyway, so just do what you feel.  Good point.  And maybe, as Cajsa mentioned, it is time for another round of The Same Damned Thing.  I’d love that.  Anybody have ideas on what we could do? That Cambridge Shirt thing was a blast.

I know this hair has been done to death, but you know what?  I really really like it.  Same with the outfit.  I bought the jeans in fatpack, and half a dozen of the tops, and I really like them.  So here they are, with a fun and funky belt for all you retro geeks, and a great new favorite skin.

This hair by Argrace has flex, is flattering, and has a very cool Fedora. Colour change fedora even.  I have several favourite Argrace hairs, and although they aren’t mod, they have a resize script that does work for me.  The no-copy thing is odd, but hasn’t affected me yet.

Love the pocket on the jeans, with the rag (colour change!)- but you know attachment points, and I couldn’t wear both the pocket and the awesome Retro Belt at the same time, so we shot both views for you.

This belt needs to be seen close up.. it is that great.  Bottle caps, Activision game, Etch-a-sketch (oh you have to see what is drawn on it, NSFW haha) Silly Putty and more.  This belt wearing is dedicated to the wonderful Pothead-Sheepshooter, Vivianne Draper.

This bag is one of many in my inventory by Gazov Designs, -creations of Greta Gazov and her sis, the infamous razor-biting Bunny Brickworks. (haha infamous, love that)  -Many of their bag offerings come with not only shoulder and hand holds, but bracelets, hairsticks, hairbow, necklace, gloves, and umbrellas! Yes Umbrellas!  I chose this bag for its simplicity and match to the dark areas of my shirt and shoes.  Oh yes, I <3 the bags now. I am doomed.

Ok here is the skin shot.  There are several reasons this skin is my new fave, but I think mostly it is the under-eye shading.  I have the ‘Misty’ League skin as well, and went back for the Kate because of the eyes. Kate has softer lips, but sharper nose shading and under eye realism, that does it for me.  I really *Really* love this skin.  It suits my shape well, and the makeups are all very subtle and realistic.  I have 2, Forest and Glam, but would fatpack it in a sec if I has $L to do so.

The shoes… what more can I say, the pic is everything.  These shoes are so realistic, my daughter thought it was a rl shot and wanted them.  Look close at the ink on scuffed toe.  (I <3 my shoes) For those of you who don’t know, these shoes are so changeable, you can literally wear them with any outfit, any mood. Change the fabric, laces, rubber on a click menu.  Yes, most of you are quite familiar with UBU shoes, but they deserve the attention for the quality. <3 my Ubus.

In closing: Raven mentioned a thought he had last night about why certain items are plastered all over the feeds: Quality.  This is true.  If you see something covered by so many well known bloggers, it is because it is a true quality well done item.  Kudos to the designers.

I would love to find those smaller less-known shops that have unique quality fashions, cool and different styles.   Hit me up inworld, I don’t bite.  Look at is a way of helping me not run behind the pack on Fridays.  Show me what you have, or tell me of your cool new finds.  I would like to see.  You would be doing me a favour.
