Secrets of Madame Bovary

{Taken at Dawn of Radiance}

I won't even begin to pretend that I know that much about Madame Bovary or her story. Sadly enough, as much of a book worm that I am, I haven't read it. As I've said in another post though, I don't like to go into anything blind so I did look her up and watched a few videos on YouTube and I am really intrigued with the book! It will definitely be on my list of 'novels I have yet to conquer'. 

It was a bit of a challenge putting the look together, especially because of the hair! Why is finding this type of hair so hard to find in our Second Life? I think designers are so centered on the here and now, current styles that are 'popular' or mainstream and so that is mostly what we see. Similar hairstyles being made over and over again. Our Second Life, at least in my personal opinion, should be diverse. We should be able to jump from look to look, style to style, century to century and have tons of options. I don't have the skill it takes to be any sort of creator in SL right now, but if I did...my shop would be like my blog. Meaning, you might see current styles on one corner of the store and vintage 50's next door to it and then right next to that, 19th century hair, etc...etc. Possibilities in SL are endless and I so wish creators would venture out more. Now, that's not to say that none do!

As you can see, Aliza Karu is very diverse with her creations. I've been able to purchase goth clothing and then this lovely homage to Madame Bovary all under one roof. Horns, Unique Hats...a wide variety of items you're sure to love as much as I do. 

I ended up finding my hair in a curious lil shop I adore, Curio Obscura of course! So many other things and hairstyles from that place that I have yet to collect. 

Back to work I go! See you soon luvs <3

Yes, I know that Marie (supposedly) never said that but I always loved loved that saying. Actually I feel like saying it in place of 'Off with their heads!' but with the same meaning behind it *snickers*

Confession? I have a certain love for unusual hair! Yes, I love my simple straight or some what curly (every day) looks but I do that in real life....my Second Life leaves me open to so many things that I could never get away with or even try to do in my real life...I take advantage of it!

My outfit is a new DRBC release and there are so many awesome prints that were made but this one stole my heart and inspired my entire look here. Do you find it odd that an article of clothing can do that? It happens to me in my real life too. I can turn my entire outfit and look around because I ran into a scarf that was hidden in my closet! That's just how I work. Do find DRBC on Facebook to see the other prints and keep updated. (Yes I will repeat this to everyone forever!) Also...

DRBC is participating in Woeful Wednesdays this  round. I LOVE Woeful Wednesdays! If you dont know about this weekly little event, click that link and read about it!

This is the little bit of awesomeness you can score from DRBC this round!! Retro swimsuit just in time for our spring/summer pics! At 50L...this is such a steal. Don't miss it and check out the other designers on the list this week too! I found a lil hidden gem amongst that notecard that I will make sure to feature soon! You can subscribe to Woeful Wednesdays by going to their headquarter and clicking things randomly! haha Or click the group joiner <3

Who is Miss Voodoo? A gorgeous woman that was brought to my attention by a lovely friend of mine who knows her tunes like no other DJ Electroslut! But I just call her Kitty <3 So she said my avatar and this gorgeous lady had a similarity so I thought, Hmmmms, I gotta make this happen!! So thankful that Ms. Dizzy (owner of DRBC) is so incredibly talented! She put together the dress before I could even finish the set up! Make sure to see the real life inspiration and love on her page!

I would apologize for the pic heavy post but...it wouldn't be honest. I loved taking all the pics <3

Back soon loves!
