I've been playing with various iterations of Geometry's Eku Tank and Eku Crop tops, trying to pair them with mesh items from other designers... and the crop top fits just right with the pencil skirt from Maitreya!
It all goes very well with my new hair and my new shoes, too. :-)
Let's see:

Unhinged: To be blue or not to be blue
Still blogging about my favourite event on the grid... The designers there must have conspired to create clothes / outfits that work well together.
Case in point, Bilo's eyes and Pin Me Down's Skully Lashes make-up complements the Monster skins really nicely. I'm not wearing the actual lashes, but that's only because my laptop doesn't render very small items properly -- I wouldn't do them justice.
If you want to see them in all their glory, go and check that post by Sonya Marmurek!
I love the texture on the Morticia velvet dress. All the colours are gorgeous and well-detailed, even the black one (a colour that is hard to get right).
And as for the Skull? It's simply amazing. These skulls are (very existential) pose props. Show that skull around. Lean against it. Look into its oh-so-thoughtless orbs. Oh yay for DRAMA!!! These should get some good use!
What I'm wearing:
Skin: Monster Silver 3C* at Unhinged
Hair: [e] Over - White 05
Eyes: Bilo - Najwa Eyes (Mist Blue)* at Unhinged
Makeup: Pin Me Down: The Skully Lashes #7 at Unhinged
Nails: Pixel Mode Sculpted Nails - Color Change
Dress: PE Morticia Blue* at Unhinged

Unhinged Skull Light
I've been working non-stop on this Unhinged product for three days (except for the times I actually had to, you know, go to work), so I'm incredibly pleased and proud to have finished it!
It's a light. It's a floating skull. It's a bit weird, and it's mod - so, even though I haven't tried it yet, I'm pretty sure you could wear it as a mask, and if you want to look extra-weird, alpha your avatar out and appear as a floating skull to every one around you.
That'd be a bit freaky, though!
Another stupid trick is to turn the eyes transparent and stare at the world from the inside of the skull. Useless, I know, but I've had fun doing that while testing it on my local OpenSim. I'm easily amused!
Anyway! Touch it to turn the light on/off (owner only), or mod the script inside to make it sing a lullaby.
You can see it inworld and buy it at Timetwist, and you can also buy it at Unhinged. You should buy it at Unhinged, anyway. So much cool stuff around!

Pink and Green and Orange, oh my!
I've always been a bit shy with wearing colours. Time to change that. I can paint myself with whatever colour takes my fancy, so why limit myself to grey?
Front shot:
The back: (This is my favourite picture of that series. How weird is that? I like a pic of my back!!!)
Full body - including the boots. I love these boots. I hope you like them too, because I guess it's not the last time you'll see me wearing these!

Unhinged: what to wear on the dance floor
The Unhinged isn't just about shopping -- it's about dancing, too! It's great fun, but the trouble is, everyone there looks stunning. Especially Siggy. So I spent a lot of time putting an outfit together!
On the way I also hit the gatcha for some plants, because I dig plants.
Arctic Greenhouse made a fun skull planter, to give that special welcoming touch to any garden. Arctic's Gacha is extra special, as you get a random chance of getting three items instead of just one... and I struck gold. I'm only showing my favourite one, but I got two others that I like a lot as well: a golden skull with red roses (Rare), and subtle dark purple flowers in a dark skull.
Lassitude & Ennui has been my favourite shoe designer for a long time because of her attention to detail and the quality of the modelling and texturing. The mesh Sugarskulls boots she made for Unhinged are yummy. There's lots of colour - pink, brown, red, blue... I forget... the rare one is black/greyscale. The stitched skull blends perfectly with the main fabric of the boots. The red ones are my favourite.
The Nomine dress can't be found at the Unhinged festival; however it fits the theme just right, as there's a skull on the front of the dress. Which you can't really see in my pictures. I guess I won't be elected fashion blogger of the year quite yet! o.O
It's a mesh dress, with two sizes included. The standard size fits me like a glove. It moves nicely with the body -- good weighting! I like how cheery the cherry pattern is, and that it looks like it has some thickness to it (like a real dress). There's a bit of anti-aliasing going on at the back; it's a minor fault, as you'd really have to zoom right in to see it.
The skull makes this dress edgy and quite versatile, as you can wear it with classy pumps, with worn Docs, or with the most punkish NewRock-like boots you can find on the grid. Or, indeed, with the Sugarskulls boots.
Anyway, 'nuff talking, here's the list of what I'm wearing:
Outfit:
Dress: Nomine Mesh Rockabilly Tank Dress Standard - White Cherry
Boots: Lassitude & Ennui - Sugarskull Boots Red at Unhinged (review item)
Jewellery: Miriel Everyday: Find your Way Necklace / Silver/White (not on the grid anymore)
Skin: Pink Fuel Elly Milk - Scene
Tattoo: Pink Fuel Elly Milk - Juicy Gloss (Strawberry)
Tattoo: Nomine Cleavage enhancer - Light
Eyes: Kosh Eyes - Silverrush Laguna 6 (discount zone, click on the trapdoor)
Nails: Pixel Mode Sculpted Nails - French Manicure (not on the grid anymore)

Unhinged: Skulprit avatars
I went in-world a bit today just to unpack a few boxes bought at the Unhinged festival... and ended up playing with that little dude for a good half hour!
It's, quite obviously, a mesh avatar. Cute and quirky. There's three little dudes and one little dudette to chose from.
You can also get two Gacha vehicles for your Skulprit: a hot air balloon, and a hover car. I haven't bought the balloon yet. I will, because if it's just as awesome as the car, then well, I want one!
The reflections on the goggles and on the headlights are splendid. And look at the back of that car: I love the shading!
It's on the Unhinged sim!
Full credits and link to the neat sim where I took the photos to come -- I'm knackered!

Unhinged: Death's-Head Hawk Moth Collection
As I mentioned a few days ago, I'm taking part to Unhinged: A festival for Eku's Head. I toyed around with a few ideas around the theme of the skull, and I finally settled on an insect that I've always liked: the Death's-Head Hawk Moth.
In the end I've come up with 6 variations, from natural to futuristic, with a nod to the Victorian era as well.
These moths are decorative only (i.e. they're static: they don't fly around like, say, flutters). I've also included two free frames that you can get by touching the poster in-world, but you can of course put them in your garden to add extra life to your plants.
They're mesh, with a land impact of 4 each -- lots of work went into this model. They're quite detailed, and degrade beautifully from a distance.
Oh also, did I mention it's a gatcha? There's one rare, the Arborealis one (shown on the main poster) - the wings of which make use of a picture I took of some surprisingly pink leaves (yes, this amazing colour is real).
But enough talk: where to get them?
- At the festival, of course!
- And also at our store

Pastel Candle House
The warm glow of lovely, handmade ceramic Candle Houses fascinates me whenever I visit my local Christkindlmarkt; I wanted to bring some of this warmth into SL.
The Pastel Candle House consists of course of the ceramic house and its candle; we've also included a spare tea light candle, because it's cute and small and can be added to lots of places!
Simply zoom in and touch the candle wick to turn on or off.
Get it on the marketplace
Get it in SL

Unhinged: a festival for Eku's head
So you may have heard of the "Unhinged" festival for Eku - a great event with DJs, gatchas and lots of cool stuff, all for Eku Zhong. You don't know Eku? You're missing out! She's mega-awesome.
Anyway, the theme of the festival is the skull. So we made a little something -- six little somethings, actually! for Timetwist's very first gatcha. Exciting times!
