Zodiac: Virgo

There’s another round of the Zodiac event going on, this month obviously themed around Virgo. I am highly partial to these logical, analytical and practical people. They make sense. They communicate in ways I can understand, exchanging facts and information back and forth in an organized, interested manner.

If you want to imagine nutshell stereotypes for them, there’s librarians, archivists, secretaries, scientists, I’d even put detectives in here. They have highly analytical minds, perseverance nearing stubbornness and great attention to detail. If you want a job done in a professional, organized, thorough manner, you call a Virgo.

All this logic and using their brains for detail analysis does have a side effect of being somewhat oblivious to feelings, including their own. There’s so much more interesting things distracting them in the world that introspection doesn’t occur to them and over-emotional people feel like a headache. Combined with the Virgo trait of perfectionism this usually heralds some problems in romantic relationships.

As friends Virgos are reliable, kind and helpful. They prefer to show their friendship with actual deeds instead of words, practicality over emotions. If you like logic and rationality, if you like it when things make sense, there’s no better people to hang out with than Virgos. Being down to earth yields a bountiful harvest of results, after all.

I had to dress my Virgo girl in a practical manner and set her in a library, there was no way around it. The skin by Essences, the satchel by Casa del Shai and the clock by Conspiracy Theory are all from the Zodiac event. The shirt that is practical while dancing at the edge of quirky is by *Perception* and the boots that several of my Virgo friends love to bits are by lassitude & ennui. The library of awesome is by Garden of Dreams: 423 prims, 40×40 footprint, poses for all your research needs!

Dementia Has No Name

The title is a combination of the name of the first lingerie set, Dementia by Dare Designs, and the collar and the jacket by Zibska called NoName. Dementia is a new release with several layer options, also considerably skimpier ones, but I felt like styling these in a more vintage fashion. After all, it’s soon time for Vintage Fair!

Why yes, yes they are skulls in the collar and jacket. I’d imagine either could be styled into a very fashionable bad-ass look, but after I saw the Maeve lingerie below and the Dementia above, I knew I wanted to take vintage pin-up pictures. There’s something irresistible in the aesthetic: a mix of class, enticement and attitude.

Zibska’s jacket, collar and Maeve-lingerie are available in Vanity Fair, which will run until 11th August. Better hurry over and check it all out before the other events begin: it’s going to be a busy month.

The Return of Sun

No, not really. There’ll be snow still for a few months, but you can always hope, right? So here’s the first sort-of-spring post of the year with bonus squee-critters.

“Could I interest you in a cup of panda?”

The mesh dress is from a wonderful new shop called Geometry, so far available only on Marketplace. All mesh with free demos. It’s not very Sonya and I did have to drag her boob slider down by pretty much half, but I had to show off the texturing! I have very rarely seen textures this good and varied in mesh clothes. I do hope there’ll be separates later.

“Bad kitty! ‘s not for noms!”  

The various whimsical creatures and items are from a hunt in Drowsy. I wandered most of the day in the sim today, looking for the books and admiring the creativity and prettiness. It’s definitely worth a visit, even if hunts were not your thing. They do have shops with similar cuteness overload, too!

“Stop judging me, cute imaginary critters! It was a hot day!” 

The jewelry is the latest subscribo gift by Finesmith and the zebra tights are a freebie in *Sheer*. As for the adorable little house with the yard, I grabbed it from the closing sale of Modest House. The Wasabi Pills hair is from March Mesh Madness and has a wonderful vintage feel to it. It’s important to be classy even when you’ve had just a sip too much to drink, after all~
