Hell Bent on Seduction

That’s what this outfit says to me. It’s a conglomeration from several pieces. The top is from a House of Nyla dress, the skirt from Handrawn Machine. the gloves from a PixelDolls dress and the socks from Reasonable Desires.  The idea is not to encourage you to necessarily buy every single piece but to start thinking of dresses as potential separates and accessories as well. For example, I have a gloves folder in my accessories folder and when gloves are included in an outfit, I copy and paste a copy into my gloves folder so I have more glove options available.

Two Little Girls In Braids

posted by Gidge Uriza

Sometimes when you make a friend you feel a bond that you don’t really understand the root of, but it’s definitely there.  What I have learned after almost two years of knowing Cajsa is that our bond was formed in the centuries old tradition of the Women of Northern Europe. Continue reading

How I Cheated on Ivey Deschanel with Digit Darkes…

posted by Gidge Uriza

So this is a true tale of my night on FABULOUS FASHION TV the other night. I dressed in SN@TCH from top to bottom, solely because I wanted to say SNATCH on Angie’s show.

Childish I know – but it was giving me the giggles thinking of it. I figured if my shirt, shoes and pants were ALL from SN@TCH I would work it in.  I have the maturity of a ten year old boy – yes I know this. But then the gravity of the fact that my ultimate fashion diva idol DIGIT DARKES was there set in, and HOW WAS IT THAT I WAS NOT WEARING HER CLOTHES AS AN APPROPRIATE FANGIRL SHOULD ?

Rawr!

Sometimes the best outfits happen by accident. I was trying on some clothes the other night, getting ready to go dancing and had just put on a beautiful goth lolita dress from Blue Blood, but I really wanted something more clubby – so I right clicked on the folder for this black and white mini from bdreams. When it rezzed, I still had the corset and stockings from the Blue Blood outfit remaining and I thought it looked hotter than hot.  I added some gloves and red tights under the Blue Blood stocking and sure enough, when I dropped by the Skin Fair, someone said “Rawr!” hence the title.

Moondance

Well, its a marvelous night for a moondance
With the stars up above in your eyes
A fantabulous night to make romance
neath the cover of october skies
And all the leaves on the trees are falling
To the sound of the breezes that blow
And Im trying to please to the calling
Of your heart-strings that play soft and low
And all the nights magic seems to whisper and hush
And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush

It’s always a marvelous night for a Moondance at Chakryn Forest where I went to shoot this lovely dress I picked up at the 50% off sale at Aohuru last week. Nothing  says summer quite so well as a floral dress and moonlit summer nights – they are for dancing.  Shining in the moonlight, the stunning necklace from RS Designs.  I love the colors and the not too bright bling-free shimmer of the jewelry. There’s a lot of marvelous jewelry at RS Designs – but not all of her work is on the floor. If you check Roxana Sommerstein’s picks – you can see that you can purhcase non-displayed work from her directly.

Charmeuse

My favorite fabric is charmeuse – a thick heavy and soft as rainwater silk. My favorite piece of clothing in real life is a vintage robe of apricot charmeuse with heavy raised embroidery – apricot on apricot so the bodice holds its shape. I just has to say, silk charmeuse sliding on naked skin is yummy.  This dress from Baiastice is charmeuse and honestly when you wear something to wonderful to touch and feel, it’s a crime to wear something underneath it. A Crime!!!

Holy Primflap, Batman!

We all know the drill. You put on your system clothes and then attach your primflap or crotch prim and begin to adjust and adjust and adjust. You want those textures to line up. You want the top of the prim not to stick out like a tiny shelf suspended off your pelvis. You hope the prim and the system pieces are the same shade. That the front and the back melt into the system pieces flawlessly. But they don’t, do they?

Well, don’t ask me how she did it, but Annyka Bekkers has mastered the primflap as you can see in this slipdress – Felice, from blowpop.  It’s not impossible to spot the prim, but it’s damn difficult.  I have never seen this difficult and aggravating piece of clothing done so well. It’s really an amazing job…and the prim flap is even harder to see on the lighter shades of clothing.
