I searched my closet for something resembling what passed for the color dandelion and this is what I came up with. This sweet summery dress from Pretty Lady, which I’ve had for a while…..
But, I love it….
Here’s your shopping list:
Dress – Pretty Lady, Ingrid in Orange
Shoes – N-Core, Caprice
Hair – CaTwA, Vivianna in Summer Blondies
Skin – Curio, Uptown, Cosmo 2 in Petal Frex [Dark]
Red lipstick! Red lips are the ones the songs are written about. One of the great musicals of all time can be brought to mind with just a single image of red lips. They’re powerful, bold and iconic. And they’re not for everyone, except today. Today is Red Lip Wednesday. Hopefully lots of us bloggers will flash our ruby red lipstick today.
Of course, nothing suits every person. We have our likes and dislikes. There are fashions I dislike and fads that leave me confounded and confused and asking why? Mostly though I shrug my shoulders and think to each his own. Certainly if we all looked the same and liked the same things, the world would be a much more boring place. So, let’s hear it for red lips! Here, there and everywhere.
I tossed this outfit together pretty quickly after shooting the wedding dress on Monday just before my set at The Velvet. There was no way I was dj’ing in a wedding dress! I remembered the gorgeous skirts from NYU for faMESHed. There were several colors and I loved them, so I pulled out another color. I dug around in my system clothing for something to wear with it and found this old top from Kunglers.
Gozii - a dress from Torn. Torn is a new store that opened in April featuring mesh clothing in a rainbow of colors and prints.
Mostly I am torn because I chose to feature a dress from Torn, a mesh clothing boutique owned by Torn Difference, but it’s not just a play on words. You know I am a sucker for community-building projects, so Harlow Heslop’s Pay It Forward Project has a lot of appeal for me. In an ideal world, it would have developed organically and not in response to conflict, but in the real world, conflict is the heat that makes the seeds of change sprout. There is one way in which I would love there to be a sea change in the blogging world and if this helps bring it about, I will be thrilled.
Nails from WTG and bracelets from Je Suis continue the black and white theme.
In my opinion, too many see blogging as a zero-sum game, as though the traffic that goes to a competitor’s blog is traffic that won’t go to one’s own. In truth, fashion blogging is more like Starbucks. When Starbucks first began opening their stores all across America, there was a lot of griping about it killing the small local coffeehouses. The reality is, though, that a Starbucks opening up near a local coffeehouse is often the best thing that happens to them. Starbucks is not just selling coffee, it’s converting people to the idea of high-end, specialty coffee and amplifying the market.

Now that I have your attention….. Well, I kinda have been bad. It’s been more than a month since my last blog post. I’ve gotten out of habit and I really need to jump back into the fire. So, with that, I have my contribution for Week 6 of the 52 Week’s of Color – Alice Blue. And its a saucy lil’ lingerie set from Lil’Lace, called Sugar Blue. (Sorry I’m not in-world and do not have LM’s).
More after the cut…..

I decided to do the opposite of Cajsa when picking up the Unedited Photo Challenge and do LOTS of color vs very limited range. I followed my usual habit of snorking off of Honour McMillan’s blog for a place to shoot onlocation. It was perfection that the place I landed on is called Happy Mood, as I have nothing but one of those. Continue reading
While The Great SL Photo Hunt hurtles along, there happens to be another photo challenge that should be fun and interesting as well. Harlow Heslop has challenged folks to post raw, unedited shots. Since most of the time, all I do is crop photos, it was a relatively easy challenge. I had to refresh a few times to line shots up correctly within the frame I set the window, but other than that, it was mainly choosing a good windlight setting (Strawberry Singh’s Diamond) and policing my prims to make sure they looked good in the poses. Since I can upload directly from within SL into Flickr, it really was easy.
Folks have started hunting and adding their pictures to the Flickr Group, but there’s plenty of time to catch up. To find out more, check out the rules and list of challenges at The Great SL Photo Hunt tab in the masthead. The hunt is sponsored by It’s Only Fashion and Lazy Sunday.
It’s Only Fashion announces the Great Second Life® Photo Hunt. The hunt is sponsored by It’s Only Fashion and Lazy Sunday.

We have set up a Flickr Group for you to submit your photos as you work to finish the hunt. Please comment on this page up in our menu bar with your updates to help us track your progress.
There are prizes, but the real prize will be the fun of exploring Second Life, working on it with friends and meeting new people as you try to get them to pose with you.
The prizes are fantastic! There are cash prizes from Lazy Sunday as well as gifts. The first person who captures and posts all 100 scavenger photos wins 5000 L and a 1500 L gift certificate for a photo shoot from Strawberry Singh, the second wins 3000 L and the third wins 2000 L. There are additional prizes from Hucci, Banana Banshee, Balderdash, Izzie’s, Tranquility Way Station, 22769, Undefined Lilies, Frooti, Gallery Barzane, Somnia, Clutter and Sn@tch.

You will be required to explore Second Life, to talk to strangers and enlist them in your hunt, to get your friends to hunt with you. You can form teams and collect photos together, but each of must take your own shot of the experience. While there is nothing to prevent you from buying costumes and props to complete some of the tasks, the goal is for you to find them and collect these experiences and photos without spending money, though searching marketplace for freebies may be helpful.
