WoC2: Gold
I’m wondering, it being nearly Christmas, if we were supposed to create an outfit fit for the wise men to present to the baby Jesus this week. If so, I think we’ll send either Arbs or Willis, both of whom are dressed to the demure yet attractive nines, because my corset may prove a corrupting influence and not even pixel smoke is good for newborns.

Winter Fair!
Winter Fair is going on all this week and the sheer number of warm and snuggly offerings available there is astounding. You’ll be set for scarves for years to come if you nip over for a visit, let me tell you.
In the first picture below, I’m wearing the Winter Sweater and Mesh Stockings by [F[uchOn with Hannah bobbly hat hair from Tameless and some incredibly cute snowman earrings by Pure Poison. The refreshingly innocent skin in all but one of the outfits below is Riria by Shiva, with which I am rather taken.
The second outfit pairs the Down Jacket from Leri Miles Designs with the Marge pants from Mayden Couture. I’m also wearing Pam hair, again from Tameless. More hair from Tameless in the third outfit, this time Estelle, with an adorable little black dress from Mimi Noire called Frill and the Mesh Hooded Cardigan by Dew, plus some Warm Boots from Piccara to keep my tootsies warm. The skin I’m wearing for that outfit is Aisha, by Chloe; I felt the chilled pink nose was appropriate with the bare legs.
Last but not least in the above set, the Marge trousers from Mayden Couture make a repeat appearance, this time in grey and paired with the Short Leather Jacket by Cheeky, nicely complemented by the Loving Necklace from Splash (which looks even better in close-up, I should add).
I fell a bit in love with Intrepid’s Cover Me In… sets. I’m wearing the jacket from the Blackberry set on the left, but the outfits also come with options galore. The boots are Wintercow by Retro and are similarly delicious, as are the Winter Scarves by Yulicie and Hollyweird’s Ice Queen piercings. (The hair in the left and right outfits is Bella by CaTwA and second from the right is Gloria by Wasabi Pills – the only things in these piccies that aren’t available at Winter Fair.)
In the second outfit, I’m wearing my favourite Winter Fair item: the London Jacket by Sassy! – it comes in maaaany fabulous colours and two styles. I will probably wear them all at once through greed. I paired it with the Warm Leggings by Piccara, Classic Tall Boots from PiChi and some really cute Ivory Horn earrings from MiWardrobe. I’m clutching a Cookie Jar by Tentacio containing gingerbread men that look an awful lot better when my camera isn’t buggering them up.
The third outfit is the Turquoise Nebula version of the Celeste dress by Miss Darcy, along with the Gabriella skin from Panda Punx and the Snowflake Mouthie from FreakyDesign. Last but not least, another personal favourite: Mimi Noire’s Mesh Hooded Cardigan and Purple Moon’s Skinny Jeans, as well as the Audrey necklace from MiWardrobe.
I’m stopping here before my fingers fall off from the typing, having barely scratched the surface of what you can pick up and squirrel away into your winter wardrobe at the Winter Fair. Good times.
WoC2: Cotton Candy
Always nice to have a cutesy colour – gives one a chance to don pretty undercrackers, wistful hair or bunny ears. I therefore heartily approve of this week’s shade, although it has left me with a certain craving for sugar.

WoC2: Tangelo
We’ve had quite a few orange shades over these 52 weeks of coloured glory, but none so bright and vivid as this week’s choice. If you weren’t feeling cheery before you landed on this post, you will be after staring at Tangelo for a couple of seconds.

WoC2: Barley Corn
This week’s colour may be called Barley Corn, but due to its coincidental timing and similarity to the hue of the traditional food item we on the American side of the ocean will be sharing tomorrow, I dub this Turkey Week.
I did not, however, inform Willis or Arbel of Turkey Week before the pictures were taken, as I knew precisely what would happen if I did. Consequently, my Thanksgiving gift to you all is some actual fashion, with no ghosts, bananas or actual turkeys. You’re welcome.

Culture Clash at Around The World
Around The World, an event inspired by all the cultures and fashions on our fair planet, is in full swing and packed full of unusual treats. Each region has its own section but, in the spirit of the melting pot that Second Life has become, I have mixed and matched my nationalities to my heart’s content.
Above is the Antique Pakistani Furniture available from Senzafine and, to match its abundance of rich colours, the Tango Dress from Has Been. Posing items being, of course, in abundance at Around The World, I’m using one of the Strength mini-set poses from !bang.
A little more mellow but no less inviting, the Zen Garden Skybox from Ziau features your very own Zen sandbox and original poetry for your contemplative moments. I’m wearing the Seattle dress from Geometry with the Aussie Ugg Boots by Intrepid and playing about with the African Child and Malkia posing sets from Motionless, which come with a handy HUD version that I’m sure will be every photographer’s delight.
For those of us with bulging virtual closets and a hunger for more, you’ll have no trouble keeping your eyes on the prize at Around The World. Above you can see the Fur Poncho on offer from Orquidea, the Say It! New York cropped sweater from Apple May and the My Faithful shirt from Intrepid, all worn with Intrepid’s Patriot Jeans.
These are but a small fraction of the goodies on offer. Around The World has quite the variety, covet-worthy quality and a celebration of the diversity around our world – which, it turns out, can actually be enjoyed all at once. The doors are open until November 29 – grab your shopping cart and go have fun!
WoC2: Juniper
Still impressed with the LOGO mesh heads this week as, somehow, Arbers and I have managed to look completely different. As does Willis, but she did that by cheating and using her own head.

Willis would like me to let you all know that her colour look this week is also a Collabor88 look. The same is not true for Arbel and myself, however. What you are seeing on both of us is inspired largely by the joy and obsession of discovering mesh heads. I’ve mentioned before the theory that friends end up looking like one another – we clearly took that concept literally this week.

Thankfully, everyone turned up in the right colour and with their bodies intact and alive this week. Which was nice. I cannot vouch for the same happening next week, but I have my fingers crossed.

They did it again. The last time this happened, I was forced to maintain my composure while flanked by giggling bananas. This time, the both of them turned up as the long dead and nobody told me about it, so here I am in my carefully colour-matched finery, surrounded by sniggering spectres. We are not amused.
