#45 Do the twist

I’ve been quite obsessed with Mad Men as of late, having caught up with all seasons in time to see the season 5 finale this past Sunday. What an amazing time for fashion and decor. Thankfully, a plethora of designers in SL have met my needs for a 50’s-60’s inspired photoshoot. With perfect timing came Collabor88’s theme this month, “Shindig,” thought up by Toast Bard. A very funky and cool theme featuring a vibrant and mod contempo color scheme. With all these resources at my fingertips, it wasn’t hard to have fun with it. With me in the photo collection below is my sweet tiny baby internet friend of 7+ whole ding dang years, Corksoaker Gloom.


*Please note all poses in these photos were created by me to suit my vision for the blog post.
