Time to Collabor88

It is Collabor88 time again and I bought loads of great stuff and will be heading back for more.  There are loads of amazing items and definitely something for everyone.  Be patient with the lag and please de-prim and de-script before you head over.  I wanted to slap the person wearing the huge scripted wings.  Just sayin'.

Meshing About at VMC

I love  VMC .  It is a great store that provides lovely clothes at very affordable prices.  I wish there had been a store around like this when I was starting out in SL.  It also goes to prove my theory that awesome fashion in SL does not have to cost a whole heap of Lindens.  You can still look great while keeping the costs down!  Hence the reason I get a bit huffy with people begging for Lindens so that they can "look good".  Pffft.  1.  Earn ya own money and 2.  Get sensible about where you shop!  (I am getting off my soapbox now...)

Hair is from Elikatira (Blind), poses are a mixture from !bang poses and background is from PNP (Forgotten)

52 Weeks of Colour Challenge - Pueblo

I think the biggest difficulty I had this week was working out another name for Pueblo as a colour.  When I had finally found something similar in my inventory, I was fine.  I went with paprika on that.

Now, I also know I am a tad early with this post, but I have a crazy day tomorrow and there would be no chance to get the pics done.

So, here is my take on Pueblo and I am calling it:
