Breezy Blooms

Another wonderful gift from the Womenstuff Hunt.  I hope you’ve all run out and found some great stuff!

breezy_003

This prom gown looks just fab, and is in standard sizes. fitmesh, plus specific fitmesh sizes for Maitreya and Slink.  The attached flexi shirts and sleeves make the dress, but they, along with the corsage, are very expensive in terms or render complexity.  The entire outfit here comes in at 287,812!

Camos

I’ve always liked the motto that’s been used by at least one Australian warship: “We fight for peace”.  On that note, another outfit from the Womenstuff Hunt.  Hurry, hurry, it finishes at the end of the month!

camo_003

Goodness, another huge list of fitmesh in addition to standard sizes.  There are fitmesh sizes for Belleza Venus, Freya, and Isis, Maitreya Lara, Slink Hourglass and Physique, Tonic Curvy, and TMP (TMP is the top only).  The outfit by Shae’s Creations also includes some camo flipflops for system feet, Belleza, Slink and Maitreya, but would you wear flipflops into battle?

I pulled on my trusty combat boots and selected some weaponry from MTA 🙂

Ki and kakau

Welina mai kākou!  Aloha, my friends!  I wanted to share with you a little outfit that I’d put together for last week’s tattoo event at Eden. This features a lovely ki pa’u with plumeria lei from ::*) Charmed (*:: and a lovely body kakau from [Ab.Fab] .

HulaKakau_c061

HulaKakau_c053

Traditional hula pa’u (skirts) are made of leaves of the ki (or ti) plant, split along the central vein and tied together.  In ancient times, the breasts would be bare, although modern ‘sensibilities’ put an end to that.  A ‘kini top, pareo, or mu’u mu’u might be worn nowadays.  NEVER would you wear coconuts!

::*) Charmed (*:: offers flexi ki/ti skirts in three different lengths – 30 cm (shown), 50 cm (knee-length), and a long version.  Each comes with a choice of plumeria colours for the lei, haku lei (headband), and kupe’e (wristlets and anklets).

HulaKakau_c048

Kakau is the traditional form of tattooing from Hawai’i.  Kakau often would take geometric or naturalistic lines, and typically represent heritage (family/clan) or personal attributes.  Typically, women received kakau on the face (for fertility), and on/about hands and wrists, ankles and feet.  Full-body kakau on torso, legs and arms, such as the lovely Aroha from [Ab.Fab] , were reserved for the men-folk, but I do believe in crossing those boundaries if I want to.  Aroha comes in standard tattoo layers as well as Omega, Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink appliers.

HulaKakau_c045

Hula, of course, simply means “dance”, but always tells a story.  It is a beautiful form, and if you ever have the chance to visit the Merrie Monarch festival in Hilo in the spring, you will see some of the most amazing hula in the world.

Mahalo, my friends, be filled with aloha!

Oh, and just one more little bit, found on the interwebs:

“The use of coconuts for bras in Hawaii actually goes back quite a ways. Until horses were introduced to the Hawaiian islands by Europeans, Hawaiian kings and their knights had to travel on foot, with an accompanying woman to assist them by knocking together a pair of half-coconuts to produce the “clippity-clop” sound. This is also, incidentally, the origin of “knockers” as a synonym for breasts.”  – cmkeller

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

At Tam’s Trousseau, you are looking for four copies of the hunt item.  That’s because there is sooo much in this outfit I’m sure Tam had to break it up just to keep it all organized!  Included in the outfit we have the top and skirt in standard sizes, and fitmesh sizes for Belleza Isis. Freya, and Venus, EVE Pulpy and Slim, Maitreya Lara, Slink Hourglass and Physique, TMP, and TONIC Curvy and Fine!  Also included is the hat, the fun sunglasses, necklace, bracelet, earrings and the apple blossom tattoo with appliers.  And if that’s not enough, there are matching sandals suitable for Slink Highs.  Wow.

A little mix-and-match

One of the things that I don’t do enough of is a bit of mix-and-match.  Sure, swapping jewelry around is one thing but I confess that I don’t do enough mixing of separates.  But it is a lot of fun when you find interesting combinations that work!

I was considering an outfit for the monthly bellydance-themed party at Eden recently, and fell in love with this skirt from Bellydance Goddess.   Add a belt, and some beautiful bangles, and what for a top?  Would you believe the top from Spyralle‘s Heliconia Opal?  You bet!

HeliconiaBellydance_c004

HeliconiaBellydance_c026I confess, it’s a lot of fun taking pics while belly dancing.  🙂

The dress makes brilliant use of materials and comes with a face and body light to get the glitter to really sparkle!  To appreciate it, you need the Advanced Lighting Model on in your viewer.  The designer has even included matching sandals for Slink High feet, and a matching clutch as well (not shown).  As I said, wow!
