So whats a girl to do when she tries for days to get into the Cinema 2012 event and can't? Laze around in a Genie bottle of course. I keep seeing all these great new things on the feeds from Cinema and I can't seem to get into the event. POUT! I decided to visit Collabor 88 October instead and I noticed something that I had not noticed before. Now this is probably not news to most of you because you are more with it than I am, but on the right side of the Collabor 88 building are collabor 88 group freebies. All you have to do is join the group and click. The group is FREE to join. This month the group freebie is made my The Sea Hole and you get this pretty minidress in six different colors. It has been a long time since I wore layers and not mesh, but I enjoyed wearing this dress and actually having MY shape back for a day. I took these pictures in the Trompe Loeil purple Dreamy Genie Bottle that is on display at Collabor 88. It is fabulous!

This purple dress caught my eye at faMESHed June first. Then when I bought it and found out it was only 100L! WOW! FaMESHed is not a discount event, but this dress sure seemed like a discount when all the other similar mesh dresses are between 250-400L. There are a ton of colors of this dress and I think at 100L each, I will definitely have to get more colors. 

One Bad Pixel

I was not sure if a mesh bikini was necessary until I tried on this one from One Bad Pixel. I love it! It fits me so perfectly that I am not even wearing the alpha layers. I left the Max Gossamer earrings on because look at what a great match they are to this swimsuit! They almost look like the same texture as the top of the bikini top. So I have heard people ask why a mesh bikini was a good thing, well if nothing else- when I rez into the beach I will at first rez in naked while my bikini catches up *wink*.
