There's been a rash of James Dean movies on TCM lately and after watching Rebel without a Cause (such a stupid movie) and East of Eden, Tessa was forced to revisit some of her fave SL 50s joints, all the while contemplating what a crime it was against 50s womanhood that he was gay. The boys sometimes have all the luck .
We had originally planned to do it the easy way by just raping Artilleri. But en route we were waylaid, as so often, at Bare Rose Tokyo, SL's best value anywhere . There we picked up this lovely outfit, straight from 1956. It's called Poodle and comes in several colors for, being Jap, four fifths of five eighths of a very small amount. Look it up on their search first. Bare Rose is hell to find things, row after row of apparently unrelated goods several stories. high.
Suddenly Artilleri seemed redundant but we persisted and liberated some of her opticals, in this case Greta glasses *gray*, They're nice but you can't help thinking that, by comparison with the dazzling array of scripted glasses available elsewhere,they're a little past the use-by date. But we are after a retro look.
The hair is worth a mention. It's Kira from LAQ and is designed specially to go with LAQ hairline skins. It does and perfectly. Tessa admits a total addiction to the flickr stream of the Queen of SL portraiture, Babydoll and if you scroll through her stream you'll find several exquisite examples of portraits using LAQ hair and hairline skins. Just beautiful
