Plurk should definitely be on the tactics list for anyone planning to conquer the world. It is an idea to action place like no other. For example, the recent Blogger Appreciation Week mushroomed into such an extravaganza in part because plurk is so good an spreading ideas and information into ever-expanding circles and networks. It also can be the catalyst for amazing spurts of creativity and then fun things like this fabulous dress can happen. You see, yesterday I expressed an inappropriate level of lust for a dress worn by Dita van Teese at DSquared. Plurkista Lavea Alter of A-Bomb ventured a stab at translating it into the virtual world and you see the result above. She even volunteered to pose for this shoot and that is her rocking the Dita look on the right.
If you look closely, you can see Lavea chose a heavy quilted felt fabric for a more structured and vintage sensibility to the dress – using the dress as direct inspiration but not translating it word for word. The skirt is a sculptie and the seam from the system bodice flows flawlessly into the sculptie prim. I was tempted to use seamlessly, but that would be silly. 🙂
You can see that Lavea and I took very different approaches. She definitely rocks the Dita look with her Donna Flora hair Marlene (a new-to-me store that I will have to check out) and the several piercings and earrings from Lovecat that are actually one attachment item using one attachment point – how amazing is that. I am still wearing the Tiny Bird hair Emma. I told you it was going to stay on my head for awhile. I may get all Barbara Fritchie about that hair.
Lavea Alter of A-Bomb rocks it in Chai skin.

Hmm…I wonder if she can make the Goth look Mountaha sported on the runway last night during Make Me A Supermodel. I’d love to have that in SL.
I’m not one for Dita von Teese’s act; but the lady knows how to wear it off stage. Good choice!
Got a picture of it, Arcardia?

I just clicked through to that post and it’s the release post from A-Bomb showing the dress in 4 colors and the blue one will be on sale for only 25L until Sunday.
Not yet, Lavea. But I am trying to find one. 😉
