Woot! Woot!

PixelDolls Crochet Dress Kit

In plurk yesterday someone asked where folks buy gestures and I snarked that I don’t buy them because I hate them. I have never used the Woot! or Hoo! gestures. In fact, I deleted them as I do most gestures. So of course, friends have had to send me little messages saying Woot! because that’s  how the world works.

Now, about a week ago, I was actually in a position where the Woot! gesture would have been appropriate. You might recall the outfit I wore last week with the black crochet gloves. Folks could not find it, so I im’ed Nephaline Protagonist the creator of PixelDolls and asked if it was still on sale. She said she was going to make it a group gift, but then….the next day I got this off-line IM to email. “Hi sweetie! I tracked down that glove map, and reworked the whole thing a bit- I had quite forgotten what a neat top and stuff that was. I just put some items in my shop that use the maps- I’m sending you copies via Xstreet. Thanks for everything!!! <3”

Woot! She released three (four if you count the white skirt options) versions of the older dress, reworked so they are even better.  So here they are, thanks in part to you readers asking how to find those gloves, which prompted me to ask, prompting her to revisit those old files. And seriously, these dresses are too sexy by half – whether the daring crochet or the slightly more demure lace, with or without the corset. These are clothes for when you are hell bent on seduction and some of the hottest gloves ever.

Reasonable Desires:You Had Me At "It Comes With a Goat"


posted by Gidge Uriza

I got a Blog Lovin’ Folder dropped on me from Reasonable Desires and imagine my delight when the IM which followed mentions “Oh and it comes with a goat.”

I mean. OH HELL YES!!!!

The Alpine Beer Girl by Reasonable Desires is a fun costume for your Beer Hall Putsch or just a little goat-herd role play if you like. I wore it around for two days, torturing the In World bloggers group with tales of my goat before we finally ended up having a party at my place so I could wear it around in front of other people.

Mmmmmm, beer!

Yes – it ALSO comes with a lovely stein so that your fraulein can imbibe with the goat-herd at the beer hall, regardless of whether or not there is a putsch in progress. Continue reading

You will be assimilated

So I wrote this funny post about being assimilated into the beige excess nutf*ckery of Gidge and Winter and titled it Resistance Is Futile. Funnily enough, Gidge titled her post the same so when I hit publish, my post disappeared. Dang! So starting from scratch, where was I? Yes, I was innocently flirting with this guy who shall remain nameless when I got an IM from Gidge telling me that she and Winter were shopping at fri.day. Then, another im, they are buying all beige. Not tempted. Then the third – not an im, a snap of them in their matching Borg, er Beigewear. Damn, I was assimilated and tp’ed to fri.day where half the grid was shopping in a mad frenzy.

Resistance Is Futile

posted by Gidge Uriza

It started simply enough. Planning to do something where we wear the same thing. Then it morphed. It became the total fad of the moment and we all know that the fad is FRI.DAY – that store of creators who are alts of creators we already love…….the store that everyone is shopping at because it’s NEW NEW NEW.

So………we decided we pick one outfit from Fri.Day and see what shook out…….. Continue reading

All About Me – Items With My Name!

posted by Gidge Uriza

I started this project last year, slowly collecting items with MY name in them. I don’t have beautiful braided hair named after me (grins at Cajsa) but I have managed over the past year to collect some things with both my nickname and my proper name in them which tickles me to no end.

For Clarification – I’m Bridgette. I’m also GIDGE which is not only my SL Avatar’s name, it’s the nickname I answer to in RL. In most instances it’s how I distinguish between friends and acquaintances.

Friends call me Gidge. Continue reading

Chinoiserie

This gorgeous dress is called Chinoiserie and is from Icing. I had styled it a few weeks ago, when it was newly released, for a shoot for Second Style. But the vagaries of SL intervened and the reporter moved on from the magazine. So, no Second Style moment of glam for the dress and me. Oh well! To pay homage to what “might have been.” I have shot the photos on the white background with the Caliah Lyon windlight settings just so we all can pretend.

Starlight Star Bright

Digit Darkes knows how to make sexy, romantic, fall in love forever dresses like no one else. Everytime you think, this is it, it doesn’t get any better, along comes something new and exciting and sexy.  Now I liked it when I saw it in the store. I liked it enough to buy it, but had not put it on yet when I saw it at Fabulous Fashion TV last week. Oh my, this is one of those dresses that have to be seen. No photo can capture how the dress glitters and shimmers in the light.  I was tempted to change into the dress right then in there in the studio, but I resisted and kept my low ARC system clothing on. /me pats self on the back.

Mix and Match Fun:Posh + Pixel Dolls=Festive!


posted by Gidge Uriza

I turned into Cajsa the other night when working on putting together an outfit and realized that I thought that this black party dress from POSH needed a different skirt.

There was nothing WRONG with the skirt that came with it, it’s a really cute gift that was out in the store. But it’s so much fun to pull outfits apart and put them back together in different ways – creating something new. Continue reading

Tomboy, Too!

COCO can be so much fun. I love the creative sculpties that give us something so adorable as these Marine culottes. They have that silky look and look as though they swish and swing as you move – and yet, don’t look stiff and awkward when you are actually walking and not in a pose. Fabulous work!!! There’s a matching top and hat in another vendor, but I chose this adorable little tank instead.

Gidge Goes Tomboy…Well Sort Of….

posted by Gidge Uriza

The Rosalie Blazer from Pink Outfitters is a classic female cut blazer that has a really sweet feminine prim attachment – which after I got dressed decided was more girly than I wanted for this look.

Yes you heard me, it was too girly. Please write this day down on your calendar. Continue reading
