Notes:

I only have one more item from the latest round of Collabor88 to blog about - and I'd better hurry, since there's less than a week left in this round!  I loved the dreamy, muted pallete of the May collection, and was especially thrilled that I came out of the event with five new fantastic hairs!  The elaborate styling of this Ploom hair made me feel that wild candy colors would be the best fit, and I tried to put an outfit together that was sweet, with a little bit of zest (leather jacket, uh-huh).  I'm sure you're all shocked that I didn't slap teeth on my face for once... and there's a reason for that.  This Kitty skin from JeSyLiLo comes with the loveliest, slightly-parted lips, and I preferred the look of them sans teeth.  Another surprising thing I did with this photoshoot: I did NOT mess around with Windlight settings and just went with Neva River's windlight.  Normally I'm not too fond of tinted lighting in photos because I think it obscures the look of the skin and clothes a bit.  However, I thought the lighting was just delicious in this case, so I kept it as is.
