Ethereal Fangitude

Leave a reply

I always have the best time styling Blueblood releases. I probably take longer on them than almost anyone, because I am always trying to Barbie-doll them to be ironic or step out of my pink Mattel box and take them in a different direction than my comfort zone requires.

Just as I can rave about how Sascha Frangilli gives me oodles of options in my ballgowns (just see previous posts from me AND Cajsa- raving is aplenty) Ghanima Uriza (my favorite Uriza cousin)rocks my world as far as styling options for her releases. I’d be hard pressed to really shoot them all.

Yes. I Bite.

In Which I Match the Dance Floor

Leave a reply

Gidge’s husband Silo had his Rez Day party on Saturday. Since I was DJ’ing, I went over early to put out a couple dance balls and noticed that Gidge had put out a psychedelic dance floor that reminded me of a new dress I got at Baiastice. Suddenly, I knew I just had to wear that dress that matched the dance floor – and so, here it is – the Yoyce Dress from Baiastice.

This Post Lacks Ninjas and Tigers -But Has Makeup #13

All videos in the 80s needed fog, wind, outrageous and bold face makeup (even on the boys), big tall hair that would stand up and NOT sway in the wind (thank you AquaNet) and if you were REALLY putting effort into your production – NINJAS AND TIGERS.

(Point of reference – Total Eclipse of the Heart Video, I promise, You Tube It.) Continue reading →

Formally Baiastice

It’s no secret that on many occasions Cajsa and I share a brain.  Often, with no communication for a day or two, we’ll hit publish at the same time. Now I admit, when I saw she’d put up her gown from Sascha’s Designs – I already had mine in queue to publish next and thought it was funny.

But clearly, our brains are still attached because I had Baiastice queue up to publish today, and when I finally sat down at the PC what do I find on her post?

Baiastice.

Great minds…… Continue reading →

Casually Baiastice

Leave a reply

Sissy Pessoa released her spring casual collection last week and it is as stunning and full of fun and innovation as her couture collection that she released last month. Much of her collection is made up of separates like this blouse and skirt – that can be mixed and matched as you please. In fact, these two were not placed or styled together in the store layout, but I liked the monochrome feeling they create together.  The highlight is the highwaisted skirt named Didge. It is full of the special Baiastice attention to detail that sets it apart. For example, there are three prims, not one, for the skirt. One for each leg and one for the upper tier of the skirt. This makes the skirt look great when you walk and dance and move aroun and keeps it from having that funky sculpty incongruous movement. Other great detailing is the flashes of cream edging peeping out at the bottom and the fitted to perfection belt. It comes in several colors and can be the foundation for countless looks.

It's Black, It's White……

Ok so just like Cajsa said below……..the options that Sascha Frangilli gives us in each item we buy from her are staggering, release after release.  As a blogger, I spend more time figuring out which pieces to wear, how to wear them together – or whether to just shoot them ALL than actually shooting.

I admit it, though – it’s kinda fun.

The flexibility with the variety of styles of skirts offered, two pair of gloves, a bolero jacket option etc means that although Cajsa and I each blogged this today, neither of us are sporting it exactly the same way which I really like. 

This is a gorgeous spring outfit in either black or white – and as I look at the hat I’m reminded that the Kentucky Derby is coming up……..girls got your Derby Hats ready yet?

How many kinds of skirts are there?

Hey, it’s a valid question when dealing with a dress from the Sultana of Skirts, Countess of Choices Sascha Frangelli. I mean I thought I had a clue when working with one of her ballgowns which might come with three lengths and several widths of skirt, but you realize that you have met the Overlord of Options after seeing her do a shorter dress with five, count ’em FIVE, options with not a single one longer than the one in the picture above.  I confess I was confounded by options – swimming in a sea of choices. What to wear? What to wear?

Responsive Designers

2 Replies

Whenever some new designer drops some promotional items on me and asks me to check them out and possibly blog them, I try the clothes on. I am always eager to find something new and to find new stores, so I enjoy getting these sorts of requests. Jag Voom of Page 3 dropped a few dresses on me the other day, including this delightful print sun dress. What really set this encounter apart, though was the response to a small criticism. Like more and more designers, Jag had made the prim pieces no mod. Thanks to differences in viewers, the prim pieces were a darker tint than the system pieces and I wanted to mod the prims so I could change that. I also wanted to move just one prim piece in the ruffle. I took a snapshot and sent it back, saying I would love to blog the dress, but only if the pieces were no mod to accomodate viewer and shape differences. The next time I logged in there was a lovely IM acknowledging the critique and sending a new, modifiable dress. That kind of responsiveness to the people will go far to make Page 3 a success – and make it easier for fashionistas of all shapes and viewers enjoy the clothing.
