The bright, cheerful Ruffiela dress from Skin Flicks is a happy setting for the lovely Dark Mouse Roses Are Blue parure.
My mother loved music. When she went blind temporarily from a pharmacy dispensing error and still did not know if her vision would ever return, she would say “I would rather lose my vision than my hearing. I can still listen to music and that’s enough beauty for any lifetime.” She had a way of putting troubles into perspective and facing difficulties with stoic optimism.

I’ve probably bounced around on this cute compact pose set of Cajsa twenty times in various lingerie and get-ups, but it wasn’t until I got the Victorian Ventilated Corset set from Reasonable Desires that I’d found what I really wanted to wear on it.
I mean, ribbed hose? White cotton bloomers? Ah….I’m ironically sexy! Continue reading
You can take all the tea in China, put in a big brown bag for me. Sail around the all the seven oceans, drop it straight into the deep blue sea. He’s as sweet as Tupelo Honey. He’s as angel of the first degree. He’s as sweet as Tupelo honey. Just like honey from the bee. That just happens to be the song playing on my Itunes as I post this and it also happens to be one of my favorite songs. Although it’s a Van Morrison song, I am listening to my favorite cover of it by Cassandra Wilson and it’s just a meltingly beautiful song. It’s such a romantic song. Whether it suits this sexy little dress, that’s for you to decide. I like it so well, I think it suits everything.

Shiki Designs released ten fun summer dresses. Gidge and I showed you two in the post highlighting our new shoes from A-Bomb. Here are six more, showing all the lovely floral prints and three of the five colors of the lace dresses – all but gren and blue. With them I wore the lovely new Victorian Ankle Boots from Juicy in appropriately juicy fruit colors.

I told a friend the other night that I’ve been shooting like crazy lately, and not posting. I’m not sure why. I’m sort of randomly wandering and shooting and styling outfits and then I have very little to SAY so I’m struggling to blog.
I think I’ve got post-partum brain cramp. Continue reading
I love the scattering of pailletes on this dress. Usually paillets are scattered on super sexy ball gowns, eding the organza overskirts that float above silk or satin draping. That makes this very special because it’s not a ball gown and it has a severe, conservative silhouette. Now, that first impression of conservatism is belied by the the ultra-modern shoulder pads and the exaggerated bow in the back – but that just makes the dress even more interesting. Another way that the initial conservatism is overwritten by design is in the fitted structured princess seam bodice that conforms so closely to the body. This is one of those lady-like dresses that will keep drawing closer, more admiring looks the longer it is studied.

Cajsa and I are completely fruity with glee over the release of the Cajsa Boots and Gidge Shoes from A-Bomb. They have been out for sale for a wee bit, but with me being off line to have the baby, it took us some time to get together to shoot them in all their glory. Continue reading
There's no more "just for fun" outfit than the Le Cirque top and leggings from House of Hucci which for some mad, inexplicable reason made me think of Woody Guthrie's irrespressible Hoodoo Voodoo.
Hoodoo voodoo, seven twenty one two
Haystacka hostacka, ABC
High poker, low joker, ninety-nine-a-zero
Sidewalk, streetcar, dance a goofy dance
Blackbirdy, bluejay, one, two, three, four
Trash sack, jump back, EFG
Biggy hat, little hat, fatty man, skinny man
Grasshopper greensnake, hold my hand
Hoodoo voodoo, chooka-chooky-choo-choo
True blue, how true, kissle me now

So you may not know this, but I never delete anything. If you’ve sent it to me, I’ve got it (unless you sent it via subscribo or deliverator and I was capped).
Ok that is a partial lie, I did delete my Okina prim vajayjay that a mommyblogger friend bought me on like day two on The Grid. It was hideous, freaky, and despite being good for gags like making it pee in the middle of rooms suddenly, I really didn’t need it. (ok sometimes that might be fun to have back – /me considers all the places I could suddenly pee on the floor). I also on occasion delete things which are too hideous to contemplate further,but this is rare.
But I digress………..
This is valid information because it’s how I arived at today’s outfit. Digging through my inventory going “Hmmm, what haven’t I worn?” I found a box from DREAMS – from my friend Sanura Snowpaw. I pulled it out and tried on everything and ended up leaving on the corset top and the collar……I was gonna be a neko girl for fun but then I found this cart item at the photo studio and it didn’t work. Mebbe next time! Continue reading
This amazing lace gown from Entre Mares is a seductive arrangement of lace and lace and more lace. From the sheer and open lace of hte bodice to the wildly gathered lace of the sleeve to the thick heavy lace of the skirt panels, this dress is lace with all the seductive sensuality of lace and skin in overdrive.
