Feast your eyes on the indigo-blue and white fabric in this Lucky Board yukata from Oryou. A second LB features a fan with striking male and female figures. I have a love-hate relationship with blue and white porcelain because I grew up around it. It’s from my childhood, so it makes me nostalgic, until I remember that my childhood wasn’t so great.

Every Sunday, Sopha Portal of My UglyDorothy releases a special version of one of her skins for only 100L. Still available for sale, most of them are kinda kooky. I really liked this classic look, with its pale red lips, winged liner and, a contemporary touch, undereye creases à la Jessica Stam. If you look closely, you’ll see a highlight across the brow bone. This is a nifty tintable enhancement from Stella Semaphore at Cheap Makeup. Visit the Tableau location for a 40% discount on everything until May 19.

This morning, I was woken at 6AM by the elephant that lives upstairs. I got up, poured some chai, sliced myself too big a chunk of bread, left half of it on the counter, and decided to write up this post. Next thing I know I’m waking up at 8:05 AM. I think to myself that I must have dreamt waking earlier. But no, there is the piece of bread, staling, on the counter. The other hunk I found sitting untouched in a bowl next to my computer. I did indeed get up at 6AM and fix my breakfast, but I also apparently decided to go back to bed. And I have no memory of the decision or the action. (I also don’t remember what happened to the chai, but unlike the bread, it was gone when I woke the second time. I suspect myself of drinking it unbeknownst to myself. That’s one way of turning a blind eye to overeating.) I hope this morning’s lapse doesn’t reflect some doubt on my part about the value of these photos. I couldn’t bring myself to break up So Many Styles’ perversely hot combo of yellow and grey in this donation outfit from Culture Shock, so you’re seeing it as sold. There are two other a little less edgy but no less vibrant colour combos on offer. Last I heard, Culture Shock has already brought in over 100,000L for Doctors without Borders.

Portia wears one of the lovely mocha looks from the Sent to Destroy 12-pack of special fashion-show skins by Glam Affair. The pack includes an almost-identical skin without the henna makeup.

GIMP’s patience for erasing all the little black or white lines is wearing thin.

It’s been the kind of day that leaves me with nothing to say. Except perhaps: check out the fundraiser for Ashraya if you want your very own decorative diminutive Ganesha from hmaem.

There was GIMPing.

Actually, it’s not business time. (I just miss The Flight of the Conchords.) It’s time for the scholars of the world to look like hell for three months while they continue to fail to write what they failed to write during the school year. Portia poses in a new Lucky Board laying-about cottage at My UglyDorothy. If you travel through the anywhere door in the mainstore proper, you’ll find a cute little summer home stocked with the old Yurim LBs.

My end-of-the-year gift to myself was a pack of extraordinary skins from Glam Affair, which were apparently worn by models in the recent Sent to Destroy show. The pack of 12 for 2,800L is available at Culture Shock.
