Merry Christmas Vogel!

I think I have the best ex-boyfriends a girl could possibly want. One of my favorites is Vogel, or more officially Schrottvogel Wei. I met him long ago when I was looking for a custom-made surfboard and we have been friends ever since. Since you readers have been shy about volunteering as guest stylist, I invited him to show off his style. I know he has style since I have worn his bikinis a few times on this blog. Now, don’t forget, if you want to do a guest stylist shoot, IM Gidge or me.

He suggested artilleri for the shoot as a place that would fit his somewhat Rockabilly style. It was pure kismet that there happened to be a car in front that had the same flames as his shirt. That was just too perfect to pass by. Of course, the shirt is made by artilleri’s Antonia Marat, but there aren’t cars parked in fornt with the same print as all her other shirts. Besides, those Chucks have flames, too, and they are from Akeyo.

Post No. 2261

lelutka kit makeup 7_010

It’s too early, I guess, to come up with a clever post title, so I settled for naming the number. There’s no settling, however, when it comes to the gorgeously foxy Kit skin from Lelutka or the detailed swimsuit from Vogel. Both are exemplars of the best of Second Life® craftsmanship and creativity.

Swimming (with some Posemaker Appreciation)

So, I wanted to show you how gorgeous the new skin from Genesis is and thought a swim shoot would be ideal. I threw on one of Vogel’s gorgeous bikinis and jumped in the water. Using poses from Niqotine’s wonderful Water Poses set, I shot a few pictures that show off the skin and the poses. Continue reading

How to Tell if Your Friend is a Wannabe/Sometimes Fashionista

posted by Gidge Uriza

  1. She notices straight away your shoe bases aren’t on.
  2. She knows if you bought the color that was reduced price when the new release came out.
  3. She knows what size your head needs to be, to fit various hair shops.
  4. She tells you your necklace is floating.
  5. She knows whose shoes you have to have and whose are ok.
  6. She never takes you to a BIAB store.
  7. If you tell her your budget she knows exactly where to take you to spend exactly ALL of your money.
  8. She recognizes fashion bloggers while they are shopping
  9. She tells you when you forgot your glitch pants.
  10. She digs this pose like mad. Continue reading

A Sunny Day

Hart Larsson from PXL Creations has made a lovely skin for black avatars.  One of my real-life friends that I brought into Second Life is African-American and has lamented the state of black skins in Second Life many, many times. It’s not that black skins don’t exist or that no effort was made to create beautiful skin. She described it as the skin having the wrong undertone so that it looks flat. She also said it was often too light or too gray. When Hart sent me a bundle of promotional copies of this new Efe skin I tried them out and think they are what she was looking for.  If she weren’t pregnant and a few days overdue I bet she would be camping outside his store waiting for their release.

Normally I would not wear a black skin because putting on a skin does not bring with it the experience and culture that it projects. A white person role-playing a black person could easily transgress with inappropriate stereotypes, cultural appropriation and even blatantly racist role-playing. I think nearly all of us have seen this happening in SL with some of the “gangsta” avatars. However, I did want to highlight this fabulous skin and shot it in a few outfits inside my photosphere.

Stomping Around Dystopia

posted by Gidge Uriza

When stumbling through piles of human carcasses of a Dystopia it’s important to wear good shoes.  And a shirt that displays a lot of attitude. Luckily I had both. 🙂

After I got done watching human souls be devoured and repeatedly smashed between rocks between demon beasts, I decided to head home to hang out.  Continue reading

UnDress(ed) at the Beach

posted by Gidge Uriza

I’ve been looking for something to wear with this bikini from Vogel and the launch of the UnDress skins from Digit Darkes was just the excuse I needed to head down the the beach. Everyone knows the true test of an exceptional skin is how it looks nekkid.

Ok this one is just lovely. But this isn’t THAT kind of blog.

So the next best thing has to be to lay it out CLOSE to naked in a beautiful bikini and see how she looks, eh? The rocks hurt my butt, by the way. Continue reading

Swear To Shake It Up, If You Swear To Listen

posted by Gidge Uriza

There will be bonus points awarded to any one who can tell me what that song in the title is!

So I’m not a T-Shirt Person. At all. Hell, I can  make a T-shirt so I rarely pay them any mind in world at all, except for maybe my PRIM WHORE t-shirt which seems all too fitting if you know me. But when someone whose work you know is GOOD make s T-shirts you know that there is going to be something a little different, that sets them apart and makes the more interesting.

How about a badass graphic? Continue reading

A little bird told me…

My old boyfriend Schrottvogel Wei has earned a good reputation for his swimsuits, but his main focus has been his custom surfboards. However, he is expanding his bikini line, launching his new store VOGEL with 59 new bikinis. Why 59? It just happened that way. Anyway, Vogel means bird, hence the adorable logo on the derriere and in the post title.
