Once upon a dream...

Ok, one day late, but have to make my Oscar criticism. You can skip to the next paragraph if you want. First, Sandra Bullock's makeup. Her lipstick clashed so horribly with her dress... it' wasn't pure red, it had a tint of pink! Come on! When you are nominated for Best Actress and everyone is saying you are going to win (dunno why... I'll never understand the Academy), hire the best makeup artist in LA. If you did, then... ruin her career, she sucks. Next, SJP (accompanied by her dwarf of a husband... what's with his hair anyway?). I usually like what the one and only Sarah Jessica Parker wears, but that Chanel light yellow dress clashed with her tan... which she usually doesn't have (it was confirmed a minute later I had seen her on TV on the red carpet when a commercial with her as her pale normal self was shown...). On a brighter note, I adored what Meryl Streep (there for her 16th nomination), Penelopé Cruz and Helen Mirren were wearing and Clooney looked oh so yummy as always. Oh, and another thing... why is it always the boring song that wins "Best Song" and what happened with presented each song nominated with a little number like during the previous years? Cut all those actors saying how great the nominees for Best Actor/Actress are and gimme a real Hollywood-worthy show! That's all I had to say...

Now the skin shopping part. Yes, I want to change skin... again. I found one at Pink Fuel that is oh so me even if the fatpack is... expensive. But hey, it's not everyday you find a skin that suits you like a glove. Thing is, the designer, Mochi Milena, is making another skin which is still in beta mode and might just be released in April. So, if I buy the fatpack of the Skye skin and then try on the demo of the "beta" skin when it's released and then realize that I prefer the "beta" skin, I'll feel bad to not have waited. On the other hand, if I do wait and turns out the Skye skin is my fav, I will have waited all that time for nothing. I would sometime prefer to not know about upcoming skins a month in advance. Hard enough to choose between two things that you can buy straight ahead and try on in certain cases, makes it even harder to choose between something you can actually try on and something you know is coming and seems great but can't try on. All this to say, dear skin creators and other creators of tempting stuff, if you plan to give us a preview of something that is upcoming, wether it is by showing us pictures or giving review copies to bloggers, would it be possible to have a release date or at least something like "end of said month" or just put out a demo version (with the whole usual demo stuff written all over it) of that new skin you decided to show us before it's release so that we can see if we want to wait for said new skin to spend a lot on it or if we want to spend a lot now for the old skin? I want to buy a skin and not regret it afterwards.

On to my LOTD now. I decided to do the beautiful Aurora today. As you noticed, I'm still brunette instead of blond. Thing is, I don't get free stuff from designers so buying a blond hairstyle I'm not going to wear again is a big no no budget-wise. Anyway, I'm not trying to reproduce every inch of Aurora here, I'm "modernizing" her look. So, I went again for the peasant version of a princess as I found it more interesting and I actually had an image of it in my head. Anyway, here it is:

Skin: Curio - Elf
Hair: Truth - Charlotte
Shirt: Zaara - Isis Shirt
Tube top: Phoenix Rising - Brace Lace Shirt
Skirt: b.v - White Skirt (tinted)
Shoes: Armidi - Sasche Flats
Pose: (pda) - Ballade
Location: New Trail

An here is the waltz composed by Tchaikovsky for the ballet "La Belle au Bois Dormant" (Sleeping Beauty). Don't be surprised if it's sounds familiar, part of the melody was used for the "Once Upon a Dream" song.
