I love a Good Sale and Roaming SL

And sometimes I just <3 anything I find amazingly cute.  The outfit I'm wearing is from L'abel and was part of Humpday Happiness this past Wednesday.  There was a white version as well but ehhh that was way girlier than I was willing to go that day.  I found the hair at the aforementioned fab-u-lous a few weeks ago and thought it would be a nice match with this outfit.  The earrings are from glow studio--soooo adore them, they make the most interesting things sometimes--and I'm wearing a bracelet I realize now that you can't see in the photo lol from Dark Mouse.  The shoes are from Kalnins and are totally customizable and do a damn good job of matching skin tone without a whole lot of effort.  Looking at the pictures these could use a tiny bit more tweaking but after very little effort that was a great match.  The skin as always is from Laqroki--well not always but usually lol.  And an unanticipated plus of reading the Fashion Critique page was that they linked to SL's destination guide.  I have been bouncing around on that page to different sites for good backdrops for the pictures I take in world and that was fun.  The backdrop I chose for these was Eostara and it's kinda gorgeous.  And just because I am trying to do better about posting this information the poses are all from LAP. 

Oh and I did the final photo shoot for the month and that will probably be up at the end of the week so yeah.  As soon as I narrow down some outfits I MIGHT have another person lined up for September or I might just push it back to October and then just leave myself with two months to finish Project 2010.  Still waiting to hear from MAD but we got an update that a decision should come to us by tomorrow evening so we'll see how that goes too.  See ya later everyone.  Enjoy the snaps.

My name is Rouge and I'm a feedaholic

I've been wondering for the last few days what's up with fashion feed and apparently it's just having some issues right now.  Which kinda sucks cause it gives me part of my shopping fix and lets me know about random sales and contests.  Not that I need to know where they are because really I have a booming inventory already.  Thankfully the shoe fair didn't break me but there are a pair of Kalnins I want to go pick up still so it will add to the limited pocket break I had.  I've hit a few stores over the last few 50L fridays and project themory events but I'm missing some of my favorite old stores that aren't on either list too often these days.  I am enjoying several of the new hair offerings from Bliss Couture Hair which have been very pleasantly surprising and if you haven't seen them go check them out.  Same thing for fab u lous and ICONIC which gave me a very funky mohawk a few weeks ago (shouldn't say gave lol but offered me the chance to buy).  I'm getting closer to having to break down and either use Emerald or the new viewer cause I really want the face tattoos that aren't available in the regular viewer oh and the new hairbase layers--want em lots. 

I applied for the MAD Agency casting.  Not sure if I'll make the cut but I feel like I need to be taking more risks right now so I'm going for it.  I did enter the last round for Miss Virtual World and I doubt the results will be any different lol but again the risk thing.  I have at least one photographer signed up for September's phase of Project 2010 but still have the final few months of the year to arrange as well.  We'll see how it keeps going but I'm excited as I have a shoot coming on the 22nd and then on the 11th of next month.  Okay that's it for now.

yeah i got nothing lol

You know, I had a good spiel built in my head last night about what I wanted to post but I went to sleep, spent more time than I would have thought talking to my mom this morning and put some steak in marinade for dinner later so yeah that's all gone.  In general things are going well.  Thanks in part to my weird schedule and my agencies taking a tiny summer break, I'm not super busy when I'm online these days.  I am doing some of the maintenance stuff I should always be doing but yeah don't always get around to.  I've had the updated Tillie's hud for months before I finally loaded it maybe two weeks ago.  And while I thought the old hud was full at 600 ish poses after loading the new one and all the poses I had purchased in the interim it was up to 1100 ish.  Sad I know but it helped loading them because then I was able to more fully prepare for a show I had because I didn't have to go hunting to see if I had a pose in inventory.

After talking to Miss Keeley about an agency and needing to get a portfolio together, it dawned on me that I hadn't touched my portfolio in over year.  So all the new amazing photos that I have had taken over the last year were not available anywhere but flickr.  That's great if folks want to go look at the page but if not then it's better to have the book handy.  I did update that yesterday so yippee and I was able to add the newest photos from Project 2010 from yzabelle Furhman.  I opted for her very reasonable 5 pack of photos that were just for fun as I liked the outfits and wanted them photographed.  One so I would quit wearing the outfit incessantly because I just loved it and the other because it was one I had prepped and never had snapped.  Part 2 for this month is coming up in a few weeks and those may or may not be contest shots sooooo when I figure it out I'll let you know.

Before I get to the photos, I have to say my same fair issues came up.  I went and wandered around all over.  The lag wasn't bad all things considered but there just wasn't a whole lot that I wanted to be honest and one store that I got excited in turned into a letdown.  I saw a pair of mary janes I adored but then realized they looked eerily familiar.  Yep they do because I bought them last year at the fair lol.  On the upside, the Kalnins I tried on were so hot that I had to buy them.  Along with a few other out of the way shops that I hadn't seen before.  It's for a good cause so please go check them out.

Okay so here are my two favorite shots because I don't want the post to get super long and I can't figure out how to make them rotate in a frame.  Please go to flickr and check out the rest of them when you get a chance.
