I don’t spent much time on the Second Life Community Forums, but occasionally the conversations get very interesting. Today’s Fast Five includes a forum discussion as well as a fabulous post about SL friendships.
I made my way back to Insight Forest, the striking art exhibition space on Visionaria. It’s such a peaceful and serene spot to shoot and turning on the region’s own windlight settings enhances that pacific mood. I wore the new skirt from Baistice. I have shown it before, but this is one of the two-color versions. I added a cream system layer top from LeeZu! The top is very sheer, but it becomes opaque by layering three layers.

There is a theory that the more choices we have, the harder it is for us to decide. We become paralyzed by choice. That sure can happen in SL when there is always more things to do than we can ever get to. At least, here we are sticking to five.
Beautiful places, beautiful pictures and beautiful clothes. That’s what’s in today’s Fast Five. Let’s start with the beautiful pictures.
The G Field dress for Fashion For Life has wonderful details like the bows on the back.
I am the youngest of six children. My five older siblings were all married by the time I turned four, so they basically doted on me like a pet or just one more child to play with their kids. They sometimes squabbled over me, all of them wanting me to come spend the weekend with them. I was pretty happy to go with any of them, but my oldest brother doted on me the most. I think it was because he saved me from drowning when I was three. My sister had brought me with her to the lake but was not paying attention when I got hung up in the weeds and slipped under water. Luckily my brother was there and noticed I was missing, ran in and found me unconscious, but obviously still alive. I do not remember any of this, but the story has been told to me over and over, though never by my brother. He was never one to boast. Instead, he took me swimming the next day and again and again until I grew up so at ease in the water that I would think nothing of running out the front door and swimming across the lake for a snack.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day. For your listening pleasure, Miles Davis’ Blue in Green. For your reading pleasure, there’s some real reading pleasure to be had in Second Life.
The newest issue of AVENUE is up and has lots of styling articles featuring fabulous brights for spring. I wanted to point you toward the two articles I wrote. One is a profile of the store La Penderie de Nicole and its designer, Marcopol Oh. The second focuses on the architecture of Charlotte Bartlett and her home and furniture store, Scarlet Creative.
I hope some of you can drop by Fashion For Life this afternoon. I will be DJ’ing from 3 to 4 and have pulled together a fashion-centric set. Meanwhile, there’s great stuff on the blogs.
I know all of you have seen this top many times over. When it came out, it was so new and distinctive that fashionistas rushed to buy it, including this one. It was blogged over and over again. That happens when items are exciting and fresh. The thing is, though, that this top has qualities that make it good investment dressing, too. It’s something to hang onto for the long haul, to be pulled out next year and the year after that because it is not only well-made, but it is made to play well with others. The relatively short waist keeps it from conflicting with skirts and pants. The lack of a collar lets it fit with lots of jewelry and even several jackets. It’s a keeper.
Today I paired it with this fabulous new pencil skirt from Baiastice. I love that she put in this soft version of a kick pleat in the back, adding an extra bit of stretch when you walk so the fabric does not get so streched. This skirt was released in five solids, six bi-colors and six leathers.

One Bad Pixel released a new mini-collection with a lot of wardrobe basics and this fabulous slip dress. I love dresses like these, light-weight with body-skimming fabrics that float gently, falling on your curves lightly and moving with your body. The large floral print is lush and the colors are so tempting and delicious. Of course, with the mesh made by SLink’s Siddean Munro and the textures created by Adam n Eve’s Sachi Vixen, they are bound to be well made, beautifully fitted and textured. Continue reading
