175.

I am in love. With those ears from Mandala which are available at the current The Men's Dept. round. The HUD allows you to choose from 3 shapes (human, pinkie, elf), various ear tattoos and piercing combinations/colors (even clean naked ears are possible), and - if you wish - different for both sides. If you ever wondered if you should buy ears for your avatar, these are the ones I would recommend without any hesitation.

As you can see, I have been in a fantasy mood today. With a lot of fantasy, you have to imagine that the blue feathers are actually shoulder pauldrons. It's from the Vigdis full dress gift at Zibska which comes with a few eye make up tattoo layers and SLink nail polish. Since I wanted more feathers, I combined it with parts of a previous group gift from PurpleMoon. That gift is not available anymore but if you love a classy and imaginative style, then the 50 L$ group join fee is worth every penny. Visit the store to check out the current gifts available.

7 Deadly s{K}ins Fauna skin which was available at the latest Tales of Fantasy round can now be found in the mainstore. The male version is called Fabian Faun. With one of the newest hair release from [I<3F], my basic look was ready for the outfit and the accessoires. Freya is available in two different color HUD packages (naturals and colors).

And a reminder: Last day for Midwinter Faire and the Happy Holidays Event is tomorrow. Both events offer great finds for the smaller budget. At both event locations, you can find a huge christmas tree with a lot of gifts. Last chance to get them!
