Plastik fantastic!

I wanted to go with a look which was a little less my usual style, of course I can't stray away too much because I like what I like and  despite me saying that's so not me" my friends would still be able identify and say "that's so Fauna!"

I've had plenty of compliments about this particular look and I love it too, so let me start with the dress which started off the whole look and the rest came together. I adore this knitted dress i'm not usually a fan of mini dresses but the gorgeous & roll neck make it so classy & sexy and can suit so many different styles, it would look fantastic for some great big para boots and ripped fishnets for a grunge look. This dress was a group gift from Plastik to celebrate Kea's birthday and was one of a unbelievably generous  whopper package which I still haven't managed to unpack!

 I wanted to carry on the knitted theme with one of my all time favorite boots from Les petits details, love these boots I wear them loads! Oh goodness and the skin! it's out brand new in store today for just 10L yes 10L you'll want to buy the whole store I tell you. I adore the tone of this skin which also has received compliments - take a closer look....

The magical owl

A merciless sun raged rampant at noon, as waterwards wandered a thirsty baboon,
He staggered and teetered and started to totter , In all of his days he'd never been hotter
At the water's edge he stretched out his lips and sucked in the water in long luscious sips.
Revived to his mischievous self by his drinking he saw his reflection which started him thinking.
"I wonder why someone as clever as I should look so dull and drab to the eye? how can I change that
Hmmmm , let me see GOT IT a sign on the Baobab tree!"BORED WITH YOUR LOOKS? WANT SOMETHING NEW? MEET HERE TOMORROW AT DAWN IF YOU DO.  That's what he painted thats's what it said, that's what everyone passing by read.



The fingers of dawn had scare touched the sky when a host of animals all gathered nigh.
"friends" Baboon said "good morning to you , I presume you'd all like to wear something new?
I've found a magical owl, which as you know can magic whatever you wish to be so, swapping our looks would be easy to do Ostrich my friend may I swap with you?. Ostrich and feathers were very soon parted, with that all the swapping and switching was started.

"My stripes for your spots I'll help you arrange them" said Zebra to Leopard who answered "Exchange them!"Giraffe and Lion swapped spots for mane , now lion was spotty, Giraffe hairy and plain.
Then up snorted warthog " who'd like my warts?" sniggers and jeers were the only retorts no-one took first choice second or third , giggles and titters were all warthog heard. "Now" Baboon said "it's time for inspection, at the waters edge you can see your reflection"

Down by the water's edge one by one they peered in and cried "oh what have we done!" there were grunts and roars and screeches of fright "Baboon" they wailed "we must wish ourselves right, that magical owl where is he we need him?!"  "friends" he replied I'm sorry I freed him" and in their stunned silence they heard warthog say "I think a warthog looks better this way, truth to tell such distinctive features make us the most unique of creatures" The others lamented the looks they had lost "SEE" they exclaimed "what our vanity cost!"



After years in captivity Owl was glad to be free, so he flew and he flew and straight into a tree! with feathers all ruffled and slightly forlorn Owl wandered hazily onto a lawn.
"oh look you poor dear" Sister Fauna exclaimed and scooped up the poor bird bedraggled and maimed
"Dear Nun" squawked the owl all shaken and stirred "I think I've been rather a silly old bird", please help me recover and I promise you this I'll grant you my last and most magical wish"
So after a week of T.L&C the magical Owl was as good as can be, Sister Fauna whispered her wish then harked with delight as they made off to the roof for her very first flight.




For this weeks Taste of SL deals there is a zoo theme with many many animal print items, but what I particularly loved were the poses and props, so that is what inspired my most peculiar post. The Elephant  comes from Magnifique with 5 different poses , the owl is from Lauria complete with 6 poses.. The Nun outfit is from 22769 and is their fabulous offering for the Hollywood walk of fame hunt (details here) check the orange hunt hint poster for hint.

Queen of the night

Oh there she goes again stealing song titles for the title of her blog posts but it was always my favourite from the magic flute. Still trying to catch up on the fabulousness! oh oh this dress! how gorgeous is it! what struck me about it's design is that how well it suits so many different genres , it's a fabulous piece of formal wear but also I love how it fits a gothic / vampiric look too oh just imagine a skin like the one that Storm blogged (don't tell him but I drool over that picture, I might run up and bite him later). Now the hair I wear is a unisex one and is a group gift at Salon de Glow, but as I went to check out the landmark the store looked a little deconstructed, so i'm not sure if it about to move or having a refit , but i'll update the post once I know more. The boots have that Victoriana feel about  them & have a squared off toe , I haven't seen many boots or shoes like that in SL so that makes me love them even more and they come in many yummy colours...ahhhhh.
