“In Portland, you can put a bird on something and just call it art.” ~ Portlandia
One of my favorite skits from “Portlandia” was “Put a bird on it!” Bryce Shivers and Lisa Everman go into a gift shop in Portlandia and liven everything up by putting birds on them—from tote bags to toast. It’s a trend that deserves a little laughter. When I received this dress from ValentinaEvangelista, I couldn’t help myself. With a darling shape—perfect for wearing around this summer—the dress is made even better with this retro bird print. Suddenly I couldn’t help but put a bird on everything, including my necklace from Caroline Apollo and a cute little ring from Ayumi Cassini. Cory Edo’s infamous birds are hanging above me, creating that lovely shadow.
Tricky Boucher has generously given a skin for the celebration of Cynful’s business and sim. This beautiful skin (in one tone only but well worth grabbing) is available for a limited time, only at Cynful. My hair is Marisa Karu’s latest work for Collabor88. With removable hair pins that can also be colored, this updo shows off Marisa’s best work with wispy strands framing the face and an easy style.
