Serendipity

Leave a reply

While at the Fantasay Faire this weekend  I saw a notice that Rfyre has a 100L sale back at the store. I had not been there for a long time so decided to go there later. So, off I went and found that Raven Pennyfeather of Rfyre has started a line of high fashion clothing called RP Couture. What really stunned me, though, was this dress – a near perfect replica of my mother’s wedding dress. Only with close examination could I find differences such as my mother’s gloves did not have ruffles at the top and the sculpted shoulders on her dress were rounder. It threw me for a loop but also into a really hunt to find the other elements needed to recreate her look that long ago 20th of June when she married my father.

Eponymous Me!

4 Replies

The Cajsa Suit comes with a black wide belt, however, I wanted the bright orange pop of this M*A*ii*K*I belt to counterbalance the necklace.

So, more in jest than in than anything, I have occasionally whined that with a name like Cajsa, I will never get anything named after me. After all, who would no know to pronounce it. Well, Leah McCullough of NAIVE did a cannonball into the pool and created the suit I am wearing above and named it Cajsa. Yes, I now have eponymous clothing!! So, here’s the tutorial so you can run to NAIVE and pick up the Cajsa Suit in blue (shown), pink, gray or black. The first syllable is pronounced CAI as in Cairo and the second is pronounced ZHA as in Asia. No excuses now, so off you get to NAIVE. Meanwhile, I am going to jam to James Brown:

I feel good, I knew that I would, now
I feel good, I knew that I would, now
So good, so good, I got you

Whoa! I feel nice, like sugar and spice
I feel nice, like sugar and spice
So nice, so nice, I got you

A Midsummer Night

Leave a reply

MDR Photo Studio had their first party under the new management of Arcadia Nightfire and Rhodesy Durant and it was a hit. There were so many people there and folks had a great time. It was the second MDR Midsummer Night party and most folks dressed in fairy costumes. Even Gidge’s husband Silo found wings for his robot avatar that were perfect. I headed to the Fantasy Faire figuring why not support RFL while looking for my costume.  Fancy Fairy was perfect and that’s where I found this lovely dress and wings.

Hair Fair Updos

Leave a reply

Yes, Hair Fair insanity. Combining the many promotional copies I was sent with spending way too many lindens. I ended up with too may updos to blog in any sane, rational humane way. So…go to my flickr page where you can see the pictures. There are 4 up sets and individual pics, so you can opt for fewer pix to look at. I just think posting that many photos would be too much picture spam on the feeds.

Hair Fair Short Hair

I decided to sort the hair by style and show them to you in groups of short, long, updos and so on. This first post shows you some of the short hair at Hair Fair. I actually got several more short hair styles but they were men’s styles and I thought I would rather show you that as a group. Some of these I tinted to get closer to the red I prefer.

Cape Cod Girls

Leave a reply

The nautical them of Fleur’s most recent release of Sailor Pants, and striped tube top and v-neck that are perfect worn on top of each other put me in mind of one of those odd albums that was someone’s post Pirates of the Caribbean brainstorm. Called Rogue’s Gallery, it’s an album of contemporary artists singing pirate songs and sea shanties. One includes the unique and unforgettable Cape Cod Girls.

Whilst waiting for SL to decide that I can log in, I thought I might share this delightful hair style and truly, what is more sexy that some disarray.

Bloggity Blog – An It's Only Fashion PSA

Leave a reply

posted by Gidge Uriza

It never fails to amaze me the really talented creators I will hear say things like “I don’t know how to get my things blogged” or “I’m too shy to send review  copies, what if they don’t like me?” And then there are the dramanistas stirring it up with the whining about who gets blogged and how often and how person X NEVER GETS BLOGGED WAAAAAAAAAAAH.

Seriously, when I see this – my thought is “Wow, you seem to have a lot of time on your hands, why don’t you help your friend out with some PR work promoting them to bloggers?”

But instead of being an asshat, I decided that what is second nature to me and the bloganista community (I just made that up. That’s my word – Bloganista – you may use it but you gotta pay me 10%) might be an alien adventure to those you not card carrying members of the Fashion Mafia. So I want to share with you how it SHOULD work and what you SHOULD do, if this is important to you – or to your friend who apparently can only have you speak for them. Continue reading →

Perfect Harmony

1 Reply

When I went to Nomine last week, I was blown away by the clothing, but nothing struck me so much as this dress called Mira. It is as sexy as they come with the outrageously low back, the sheer bodice made wearable only by stripes of sequins and the form-fitting lushness of it it. To match it for wild romanticism, I wore the Akili hair from Damselfly. I shot several photos of this outfit for my Hair Fair Contest entries because of that wild extravagance.
