Leave a reply

GidgeFast Five Happy Saturday my lovelies! I have some wonderful nuggest of fashion, wisdom, fun and whimsy for you today. I hope your Saturday is beautiful and that you never once have to look upon an ugly soul. If you do, I hope you have a fancy coffee to make it all go away.

1. Honour McMillan has a very serious business proposition that will likely take her away from us to the Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. I bet she’ll be buying silk underwear and putting weights in the hems of her skirts like royalty before we know it. Continue reading →

It Was A Dark And Stormy Night – In Paris

A Dark And Stormy Night - In Paris

If you aren’t a 20 something and you hearken back to your youth, you’ll remember that back in the day in the Peanuts cartoons, Snoopy was often working on his book. His book always begins “It was a dark and stormy night…”. What you might not know is that there is an entire, long running fiction contest centered around this premise – beginning terrible fiction with the phrase IT WAS A DARK AND STORMY NIGHT.

I actually once purchased a compendium of the Bulwer -Lytton contest entries and laughed for days reading it. It’s one of the seminal phrases in American faux literature, and when I rezzed Barnesworth Anubis new skybox for Collabor88 – my first thought was OMG IT WAS A DARK AND STORMY NIGHT.

Morning The 16th_003

I was taking some snaps as I had my breakfast this morning when I realized something amazing about my new skirt from BAIASTICE for The Boutique event that, THE INSIDE IS TEXTURED!!! OMG OMG OMG OMG! I HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE clothing with invisible insides. It looks crazy in photographs in certain poses and I never know when I’m going to suddenly have a huge invisible patch that causes me to throw away a photo.

THANK YOU SISSY PESSOA for texturing the INSIDE of your mesh clothes. Continue reading →

Nailed Down_001

There is always a lot of discussion about what’s good, what’s bad, what we want, what we don’t want in SL from creators and bloggers so I asked two questions yesterday to get a comprehensive compilation of some hot topics. I’ll remove the names because I don’t want to start mafia wars “OMG SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT MEEEEE” but you never know, maybe she was.

My first question was the negative. “What SL Fashion Trends Should Die?”

These are the responses I got: Continue reading →

If I Were Clubbing_001

Digging through my inventory you might find a lot more items from Nomine that you’d imagine. Most of them are things I bought some time ago and the quality is too good for me to find a reason to trash outright. Continue reading →

Miamai IS The Protagoniste

Leave a reply

Protagonist means the first character or the leader. That’s quite fitting because Miamai has been busy carving out a new normal in makeup and fashion with the release of the Protagoniste beauty HUD. Eyeliners, lashes, eyes, contacts, face gems, the list goes on of amazing variables that are possible all in one HUD. I thought I would take a few minutes to walk you though the basics to not only show you how it works but what is possible, from girl next door to Gaga.

Protagoniste by Miamai - Step One Pick Out Your Eyes

I chose a bare makeup from Pink Fuel because I really wanted to show off what amazing about this creation vs an already glammed up skin. Continue reading →

GidgeFast Five Well it’s Friday Night and if you didn’t already do your FLF shopping shame on you the clock is ticking. But if you’re done, I’ve got some other good things to show you before you head out to dance the night away or whatever it is your digital world holds.

 

1. Last Chance: Wedding Season is upon us in both worlds. I thought the little purse was a lovely touch. I used to wear wedding dresses to combat role play sims. True story. I wonder why I’ve always struggled with role play? Continue reading →

I Do What I Want_001

Sock and hose together? I don’t care I do what I want! Bag doesn’t match shoes? I don’t care, I do what I want!

I had Eric Cartman in my mind as I put on my gacha prizes from The Chapter Four, yeah I’m still going on about that. I like taking all the gacha things and then wearing them all together. It’s like a sport to me. Continue reading →

Free Things Of The Good Variety And Other Stuff Too

Is That Wrong?

Ever since they started the migration away from Magic Boxes, your Marketplace Shopping Experience has MOST LIKELY improved. I’m not saying you won’t find the freebie sex orb  of dubious quality, or someone just selling a landmark for their shop for zero but hey at least it’s zero. I long for the days when people sold pine boxes and listed them as “a box for your stuff”. Those were heady days of online pixel shopping. Continue reading →

Chilly Spring Days

I wanted new poses that would flatter my mesh nails, and so I made one then two then three and I was like oh I might as well make a set, then I was like oh I might as well release them because other people have mesh nails they might like them. Continue reading →
