Blogger Challenge: More to Love

1 Reply

Hybie challenged us to make a cute plus-sized shape and style it. I dawdled because I was busy on other projects – but last night I bit the bullet and got to it.  Trinny and Suzannah may object to the baby doll as one of their key lessons is to define the shape, not hide it. Nonetheless, I could not resist its powerful allure. The little dress from Fishy Strawberry is too cute and demanded to be worn NOW – and would not wait. I tried to wear something else, but it leapt out of my closet and ran around hollering  “wear me, wear me, wear me.”  Clothes can be so demanding sometimes.

Queen of Hearts:Part 2

The problem with blog-partnering with someone creative and talented is that sometimes, when you pick their brain – they send up more than one good idea. Aztec Queen of Eating Hearts was one great idea of Cajsa’s. But she also tossed out DOLLY! As in ….Hello……Dolly, Well Hello……Dolly.
Because, if you KNOW the story…….Dolly is the beloved matchmaker and mover and shaker of her day.

So Cajsa thought it might be fun to do an updated version – what would the modern Dolly look like? Well, first off – she’d have a hat. A great big flippin’ hat.  This hat from the Ethereal gown set of Sascha’s Designs is just the ticket. Continue reading →

Queen of Hearts Part 1

Winter Jefferson and I are back to our old tricks, challenging one another to something. This week, with all the hoopla surrounding the new Alice in Wonderland – he’s challenged me to be the Queen of Hearts. I in turn challenged him to be the Mad Hatter.

But you know, Queen of Hearts is a broad theme. Because you know – Queen of Eating Hearts is another way to go……..

Cajsa was my willing victim – I’m fairly sure that she gets some sort of sack full of virgins or extra corn in the afterlife for being a martyr, in this pseudo Aztec Ritual we staged in the Rainforest Sim. Continue reading →

It’s about time I show you the other dress I used when snapping all the Hair Fair pictures. This again has a simple neckline and does nothing to distract from framing the hair beautifully. From Pixel Dolls, it’s called Cashmere and definitely projects that soft and sensuous fabric.

Bandana Day With the Sexiest Swimsuit in Second Life

2 Replies

So reading the newest issue of Sxy2nd I see that readers voted and chose a swimsuit from JustB as the Sexiest Swimsuit in Second Life. I definitely had to check that out. The suit in the photo was white, but I chose the red for my bandana day outfit because, hey, it’s the 4th of July tomorrow.  You are not seeing the sexiest option, that is after the cut and still discreetly photographed…you know me. I had some running around to do, so I covered up a bit with some other super sexy clothes from Exodi.

If you were paying attention last week, you would have popped over to Exodi for the 50% off sale in which 100% of proceeds were to be donated to Make A Wish Foundation in Michael Jackson’s memory. The total raised was 812.99  which is very exciting. While the sale was on, I ran over and picked up just about all the tops she has.

Big Bad Blogger Challenge #3

Alice Chenaux now asks us: You’ve been given a sim of your very own to use for free for one year. However, there are 3 rules. It cannot be residential, it cannot be commercial, and it has to be open to the public. What do you do with it?

Mimikri takes the art of flirty feminity to a new level with Sina.

Well, that’s easy. I would make a photo park like what most of the MDR sim was except for the part that was the studio. There were sections with foliage and weather for each part of the year, an underwater sunken ship and underwater volcano, there was a beach, a corn field, three different waterfalls and all sort of box sets up in the sky. It was a photographer’s dream. A dream that poofed. Luckily there are still wonderful places to shoot all about the grid including Ode where the photo above was taken.

Big Bad Blogger Challenge #2

Alice Chenaux now asks us to describe the perfect day in SL. That’s so hard because different days I want different things from SL, but a day filled with my favorite things would include shooting an outfit or two for the blog, chatting  or styling or shooting with Gidge or going with her to a party and some time chatting with Maht and listening to him play some music. Add a little exploring of a new sim and you have a perfect day and a fairly common Sunday.

As to the dress, this is from DYN – another shop on My Little List – and  I love the explosion of color at the hem.

Big Bad Blogger Challenge Post #1

2 Replies

Alice Chenaux has kicked of the Big Bad Blogger Challenge and I thought why not? The first question is: How long have you been a blogger? How has it enriched your life?

I started my blog on January 1st, 2008 and posted a couple of times and then had no idea what to do, how to get someone else to read it. So it languished for a few months while I began reading the blogs more carefully and learning more about SL fashion. The real start of my blog was in April of 2008 and with Gidge and myself, we have somehow managed to post more 1100 helping of rainbow poop since then.

My life has been enriched by the new friendships I have made thanks to the blog. Not just friendships with designers, jewelers, models, stylists and bloggers, but also with readers who have commented and gone on to IM me in-world. I also have found the challenge of styling a good outfit or making a good photo shoot very fulfilling.

Inconveniently Undead

I’m a very socially active girl. You can imagine my distress when I woke up one evening FAR after my normal waking time, to discover myself among the Undead!  This was clearly going to put a crimp in my entertaining and social schedule!

Or was it? I decided right then and that I’d just have to accept Vampire as part of my new look and go about my business as normal. After all, I I have entertaining to do!

And – buffets to dust!

I find myself a bit more full of whimsy and giddy-ness since I’ve joined the Undead. Perhaps it’s simply a symptom of being Nouveau Undead and I’ll settle down with time. After all, it just doesn’t seem appropriately somber to be this exuberant AND Undead! Continue reading →
