Blacklight Cat (SSFF Outfit)

Original Miiverse post to play journal (June 20th, 2017 - apx. 2:21pm)
And here is another bizarre creation based around my Blacklight Cat tights (for Retrobest)[sic] and microbe-themed bag.

Original Miiverse post to play journal (June 20th, 2017 - apx. 2:25pm)
And now for a close-up in my Gaudy Retro Salon. (Which I was sorely tempted to call Curl Up & Dye.) Technically... most of this outfit falls under the Bold image.

Makeup

Unfortunately I didn't write down the full details. I know the makeup uses Electric Blue or something like it, I think for the eyeshadow, and maybe some kind of blue-green... I'm pretty sure the lips are actually a dark green and not black...

Hair

The hair is the Cat Ears hairstyle, which when viewed from the front sort of lines up with the cat ears hairband... Otherwise, what we have here is a woman (?) with six ears... flagrantly running around wearing two sets of cat ears in addition to her own.

Outfit

Inner: Atomic Flower Cami (light blue and black), Retrobeat, Psychedelic and Bold 
Outer: Two-Tone Blazer (bluegreen and black), Retrobeat, Psychedelic and Bold
Skirt: Dalmatian Print Miniskirt (bluegreen), Retrobeat, Psychedelic and Bold
Leggings: Blacklight Cat, designed tights for Retrobeat, Psychedelic
Footwear: Leopard Loafer-Style Pumps (bluegreen and black), AZ-USA, Bold
Headwear: Leopard Ear Headband (bluegreen), Purple Moon, Bold and Rock
Neckwear: Jewelled Choker (black and dark green), Enid Chen, Chic
Bag: Microbiotibag, designer bag for Stage Dive, Rock

Microbiallerina (SSFF Outfit)

I call this nightmarish creation the Microbiallerina.

And here is a close-up, showcasing the fact that I have little better to do with my time today.

A similar setup to my Blacklight Cat outfit but with no jacket, a tutu, and a hair bow. Deliberately weird looking.

Makeup

I didn't make any notes on it at the time. I'll have to reconstruct it from the picture. I can really only guess at this point.

Hair

Topknot with braided fringe in black with some kind of blue highlights. I didn't record exact details at the time...

Outfit

Inner: Atomic Flower Cami (light blue and black), Retrobeat, Psychedelic and Bold
Skirt: Polka Dot Tutu (bright blue and black), Retrobeat, Psychedelic and Lively
Leggings: Blacklight Cat, designer tights for Retrobeat, Psychedelic
Footwear: Disco Ball Flats, Retrobeat, Psychedelic
Headwear: Quirky Polka Dot Bow (brown and bluegreen), Retrobeat, Psychedelic
Bag: Microbiotibag, designer bag for Stage Dive, Rock

Notes

Almost surprisingly, this whole weird ensemble is a legitimate Psychedelic outfit within the game, except for the bag... which is probably still excusable as an accent piece.

My Blacklight Cat tights are my response the "Assymetrical Tights" designer request. Of course I had to do something weird. One leg is black, and the other has bright blue and blue-green animal print. The highlights might be Emerald Ocean or another blue-green, I'm not sure. I like this item, and it's one I'd prefer to keep... but the tight limit on designer items and inability to do multiple production runs on the same item kind of limit its lifespan, if I want to keep making more stuff...

The Microbiotibag (a rock design for Stage Dive) is technically classified as green, due to using a blue-green for the base... but I really should have used a base colour from the blue family, like the tights, in order to have some hope of the game recognizing it as matching the tights.

Retro Yukata (SSFF Outfit)

Close-up. The bow is the studded bow, and the hair has green tints to match the make-up.

Makeup

Eyeshadow: Gold Bell (yellows)
Eyeliner: Golden Star (yellows)
Mascara: medium, Jet Black
Contacts: Taylor Green (greens?)
Blush: full cheek (setting 1) in Caramel (oranges)
Lipstick: glossy Lantern Light (pinks)

The eye makeup appears green, but is actually all yellow. The green contacts further this illusion.

Hair

I didn't write down any notes on the hair. It appears to be a volumized ponytail with a straight fringe in all black, possibly with very dark green highlights.

Outfit

Body: Retro Print Kimono, Kanokoi, Eastern
Footwear: Arrow Pattern Sandals, Kanokoi, Eastern
Headwear: Studded Bow, Retrobeat, Psychedelic
Bag: Cat Face Bag, Retrobeat, Psychedelic

Ambra (SSFF Character)

Hobby: DIY
Job: Tour bus guide
Profile: Maintains that she met the real Santa.
Default style: Psychedelic with Lively elements

Taste notes:
No idea. She appears to mostly be into the Psychedelic style with some elements of Lively, but I'm still not sure how much into Lively she is. I neglected to write down any notes of colours she liked the few times I've served her as a customer.

Memorability: ☆☆☆☆

Personal notes:
I've only changed her outfit once or twice. I actually tend to avoid her as a customer for fear of changing that nice default look of hers... I've always been taken with her default look. That weird mint green natural side ponytail with that jacket and the weird top and pants...

Original Miiverse post (June 2017):
Picture from last year. I'd been hanging on to it for a while. Ambra has maybe my top favourite default look of all the characters other than Susie. I think it was Susie, anyway...

Ambra coming in for a change to her makeup...
Original Miiverse post (June 2017):
Well... I can... but are you really sure you want that? I mean... Oh, well. It can't turn out worse than the tall, elegant office lady who came in and requested to look like a teenage pop star with lime green eyelashes.
