Pretty As A Postcard

This look reminded me of one of those old kitschy Hawaiian postcards, you know the ones with the iconic hula girl image on them with something like “Aloha” or “Wish you were here” on them.  When summer’s not here I want to run off to a nice island somewhere and when summer is here I still want to live on an island just so I can jump in the ocean whenever I want to cool off.  I’ve never even lived on or visited an island so maybe this is a fantasy landlocked people have?  I live about 30 minutes from Lake Erie which is huge, but it’s so polluted I might grow a third arm from swimming in it.

Speaking of water there’s a new interactive story/game sim open called Mizu.  There’s some shopping with exclusive items and if you’re going through the story don’t forget to grab a HUD in english or japanese, open through July 7th.

Kawaii Project & Level Up

I’ve been shopping again, and the major thing  I bought this month is what I shall call my first real mesh head.  I’ve gotten a few mesh heads out of gacha machines, but not a whole lot of options with those.  I debated over buying a head from Tsg because her heads only work with her skin tones unless you magically find something really close, but at the same time her faces are so different from everyone else’s that I just can’t see how they’d ever look right on say an SLink head anyway.  You can find Dakota only at the Skin Fair, available in all tones. (open through March 29th)  My favorite thing about this head is actually not all the expressions and makeups, it’s the hairbase button on the HUD that lets you tint your hairbase AND eyebrows to ANY color you need.  More and more hair creators seem to think a lot of bare forehead is a good thing, I disagree and need hairbases!

The next place I raided was The Kawaii Project because where else would I go really?  I believe this event is every other month with this round ending April 10th, so still plenty of time.  I bought this cute little dress there from Vincue for way too much, but it does come with a HUD for retexturing the straps, bow, and ruffles.  I also got this really cute updo there from Ploom.  This is the least Ploom-looking hair yet, and I mean that in the best way possible.  She’d adding precious curls and cute lil flyaways to her hair lately that I just love!
