Imitation

Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery.

The Tunes: Anything You Can Do – Bernadette Peters

It’s the saying everyone knows and at a basic level, I agree. You see an item of clothing someone is wearing and you want to know what it is, who made it, where can I get it. Someone even made a HUD in Second Life, “What’s she wearing” so you can scan people and see what items they’re wearing. I think it’s sweet when you hear from someone, gushing over your outfit or look and want help finding the items. There’s a balance though, in that you still need to put your sense of style into it. Making a duplicate copy of someone’s look isn’t flattery and bordering on a little bit creeper-ish. I will always say to use another’s look as inspiration and work at making it your own.

When shopping at Kustom9, I fell in love with the Marceline Lace Dress from Osmia. It comes in various color packs and two pattern packs. This particular dress is from the Pattern #1 pack, all of them floral and just the cutest. This dress comes in so many body types: Gen X Classic, Squishy Boobs Classic, Gen X Curvy, Squishy Boobs Curvy, Reborn, Reborn Juicy, Kupra, Legacy, Nerido Push-Up, Perky, Maitreya, and Petite. I love the lace details on the shoulders and the edges of the bottom of the dress; it gives this delicate look that is so feminine and adding the Juicy Boobs to the dress made it “pop” just a little more.

We all know I love my Truth Hair and the Trinket hair is one of my favorites. It comes in two sizes and with two versions of bangs (one rigged; one un-rigged). Their HUD has their Stylist tab that has four different styles: hair forward, behind each shoulder and then behind both shoulders. There is also a heart accessory barrette that I opted not to wear today that you can turn on and off and changes the color of the accessory.

So hold onto something, because I changed tattoos. I know! I’ve been using the other one for so long, I almost don’t recognize myself. I sometimes struggle with big changes and changing tattoos is one of them. But, I found a new store (to me, at least) called DAPPA and loved their tattoos. They come in pieces which I REALLY like because you may not want to be as covered for certain things. I’m wearing the Bliss, Felicity and Harmony Tattoos, which you can buy separately or as a Fat Pack. Each Tattoo comes in Faded, Worn and Fresh intensity colors and the Bliss Tattoo (for the head) comes in Classic BOM and Lelutka EvoX. They blend nice at the seams and have a very professional look to them; this store is definitely one of my new favorite tattoo stores.

Keep being you; use others as inspiration when needed; but keeping being original and the best version of you. You got this!
