Can I Interest The Gentleman In Something?

posted by Gidge Uriza

The Leopard babydoll set from Indigoblue on the Sxy2nd sim was just the ticket for a sexy new lingerie pick up. You can wear it with or without the prim babydoll attachment, but I was feeling a bit girly (duh it’s ME) so I included it for your viewing pleasure.

It’s a pity though, cuz this skin has a rockin femme tummy, as do all of the skins from PXL Creations. Continue reading

No. 99

I grew up in a church that was rich in musical tradition. Services were full of music and at least two Sunday evening services a month were music only. All of us had favorites and would call them out by number. The pastor’s son could be counted on to jump to his feet and shout No. 60 (The Old Rugged Cross) the second the service began. My favorite was No. 99 – In the Garden. When I put this dress on this morning, that song came into my head and I have been singing and humming it ever since. It’s a song that really exemplifies the ecstatic tradition in protestant faith, though some people get all huffy if you say that.

There was a little girl

There was a little girl who had a little curl, right in the middle of her forehead. Okay, you all know I edit hair all the time, tinting it to suit, moving a strand of hair out of the way for a hat or for a photo, depending on the need. I just always make sure I am working with a copy. Now I have no sorry tale of woe, nothing like that. No, what I have is a sorry tale of not looking from multiple angles. I recently edited this hair a bit because I wanted my earrings to show in an outfit. So there I was shooting this outfit and noticing this curl going in front of my face and wanting to move it, but try as I might I could not select it. I kept missing. Finally, I cam out to see what in the heck is going on…and that one curl was about half a meter in front of my face, just so well lined up with my other hair, I could not see it from the angles I had been looking.  So definitely, I had a curl right in the middle of my forehead and leading by half a meter. Moral of the story: After you are done editing, cam from multiple anges to check for silly things like that.

Bayou Pon Pon

It’s Mardi Gras and I thought this lovely dress from JE Republic suited the holiday with it’s bright bold orange and gold colors. Adding the fabulous Efe skin made this a great combination for the holiday which should be celebrated with great Zydeco music such as Bayou Pon Pon.

The Best Store Name Ever

Waking up stiff and cold, huddled in the back seat of a rusted out Nash Metro that I pulled over somewhere off the highway outside Las Vegas, I stretched and squinted past my knees wincing at the light bouncing off the white sands of the desert plains. I grabbed my bottle of whiskey to quench my dry mouth and saw I had emptied it in the night and unfortunately for my head, I didn’t spill a drop. A Soweto beat booming in my head from the mix of whiskey, chips and salsa and whatever else I could grab at the Arcade, I crawled out of the car and decided to end this little experiment in Gonzo writing by rezzing the huge box of promotional items from Fear & Clothing – the best named store in Second Life. The first thing I tried on was this Sharkskin Red Striped jacket that I completely fell in love with.

One Day Only Freebie At Lemania

posted by Gidge Uriza

Red and pink have been the color of the season so I was kind of tickled to see such an icy winter blue being given away at Lemania to her group.  Like so many of her designs, it’s a fancy – there’s nothing practical about it.

Which is exactly what I like. Good grief why play on the Grid and be PRACTICAL? (note – I think this dress is being retired also based on the description on it) Continue reading

Let Efe Rock You, Chaka Khan

posted by Gidge Uriza

I’m clearly on a Diva Kick. I told Cajsa I was dressing up as Patti LaBelle but I must’ve been LISTENING to Patti but thinking Chaka because this girl obviously sings for Rufus.

I swear to GOD I saw her in this dress on You Tube.

Who knew Chaka Khan shopped at Casa del Shai? Continue reading

Big Wheel Keep On Turnin'……..3 Stories about Efe

posted by Gidge Uriza

I have three stories all related to this post. The first is that from the moment I saw this dress from Casa del Shai, I HAD to have it and dress up like Tina Turner.  Why?

First Story:

When I was three my grandma asked me who was going to be for Halloween. I said I wanted to be that lady in the red dress. She smiled down at me indulgently and said,”Who?” So I said “You know – dat lady that SINGS and dances around in that red dress!” Again, thinking I’m so cute, she says “Who honey?” At which point I apparently started shaking and shimmying and belting out a three year old’s version of PROUD MARY.

Yes, I wanted to be Tina Turner.  You can imagine how well that went over in a conservative, white-bread midwestern household.  Personally I wish we had it on tape.

Story 2 Continue reading

Group Gifts

I found a surprise in my Objects folder that said Jador Group gift and when I opened it up there was this lovely black and red rose floral lingerie.  Not content to hide it under a shirt, I decided to put on a skirt and let it shine, because it really is quite lovely. To be frank, now that we have the subscrib-o-matic option, I join groups without as much thought…since they are unlimited and so long as they do not flood me with notices, I will stay and sometimes log in to bright red surprises like this one.

Efe Is Groovy Baby

posted by Gidge Uriza

I used to think that I didn’t wear dark skin tone skins -let’s say it BLACK skin tones, because I couldn’t identify with them. Chalk that up to being white and American. But then, I realized I also didn’t identify with being blue or pink or any other color which I am known to wear……..so why the hang up? Continue reading
