Citrus at the Thrift Shop

I have been so busy with children and grandchildren lately, I've had to drop blogging for others except Citrus.

Citrus has this adorable short empire dress for this round at the Thrift Shop 7.0. 

The dress comes in 6 colours and I chose red for Moon. The printed fabric has a satiny feel to it that it could be worn at a cocktail(I'm quite obsessed about cocktail dresses at the moment) or a date like going on a boat ride.

Moon has been wearing this hair from Chemistry eversince I bought it from the marketplace. It reminds me so much of my own hair LOL!

What Moon is wearing:

hair: (Chemistry) Hair - Ivy - HUD.1

skin: New Faces - Wendy [Olive]

eyes: Mayfly Keshie Group Gift (Luminous - Mesh Eyes - Dark Olive)

jewellery: [MANDALA]Pearl Rain Jewelry Set/Rose pink

bag: ..:: Bens Beauty ::.. Diana Satchel Cream

shoes: {FS}Erica Strappy Platform High Heels with Texture HUD

I also almost forgot that today, the 20th of January is Moon's RezDay. I've never taken her RezDay seriously because I always measured my time here on SL as my original avatar Carter but I have to hand it to this avatar that I've stayed in SL this long, have moved from being a mediocre role-player to exploring regular sims to building houses to tailoring! I do miss puppeteering a blonde avatar, but I'm actually happier now than I've ever been 5 years ago. A lot of things have happened in and out of SL and although I wished they would move faster, being OLD, I have learned that patience has it's rewards and if it's meant to be, it will be, but of course you gotta wish it hard enough.
So, I would like to wish my alter-ego Moon a big thank you for holding up my sanity when times are tough and I felt like giving up.
Ok that's like giving myself a pat on the back :)

Skins at Cosmopolitan Sale Room

I've never done a skin preview before. I don't know how. Pictures will tell you better than my words ever could. I couldn't resist the skins at this round of Cosmopolitan Sale Room.
I have not edited the pictures. I've only used windlight Nam's optimal skin 2 and cropped the pictures.
I have also not used any make-ups, blushers, lipsticks, moles etc except Maitreya's VIP groupgift eyelashes.
I've not changed Moon's face.
Moon is wearing Darling Nicky - LINGERIE by ZEITGEIST incl. Jewlery which are available at the Cosmopolitan Sale Room for these pictures.

These are from [Chloe], making Moon look so young.  Aisha, Anna, Alessandra, Carol, Isa. A bargain at 55L a skin. Unfortunately there is no demo.

These are from Dulce Secret. They more mature. Champagne, Reisling, Sangria, Whiskey. 70L for each skin and demo is available.
