Pacific

mar19_003

 

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.

The soft yellows, pinks and greens of Easter are upon us, signaling spring is coming. Despite the snow storm that just swept across the north of my part of the world, today it’s  a barbecue and socializing that is on my calendar. Continue reading

Thank You, Fashion For Life

mar17_004

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.

Gidge’s Fast Five: Saint Patrick’s Day Edition

GidgeFast FiveThe most important thing I can say to you right now is this. I’m Irish Protestant.

Now, moving on.

There were five posts that I saw earlier, meant to blog, forgot because life is busy and then liked them enough to pour a glass of wine and log in to share them!

1. Antlers for Everyone Everyone seems to be wearing antlers lately and it’s not Christmas. Sam Laszlo has found the best way yet to blog some antlers and keep it fresh. Well done. Continue reading

When Shopping Is Your Profession

New Shoes Blues? Never, I Chose Pink.

 

With so many things going on this weekend, I decided I wanted mellow shopping day without too many crowds or lag to disrupt my experience. But first, I had to get a touch up at the aesthetician to make sure I was cute in case I ran into any of the fashion mafia.
Getting My Hairs DidI got my roots touched up and decided it might be fun to go check out the Boutique event, especially since I like the idea of a Boutique with cute things you can’t resist. Continue reading

Days of Wine and Roses

Mar15_010

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.

English Muffins

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

Pink Fuel – Alyx

All is right in the world again. I was like emo about not being able to get into the skin fair early, which is obviously my fault because I’m lazy and didn’t apply to be in any of the blogger groups. Anywho, tonight Mochi passed over the tone of my choosing (pale of course) and I’m in love. This skin called Alyx in the porcelain tone is so adorable. The shots are raw shots, I’ve edited nothing on the skin.

7 Facts or Opinions

Seven Facts? Sure.

 

I wasn’t much in the mood to do the Seven Facts Meme but, I couldn’t think of anything else to say, so let’s see:

  1. Gidge is my first avatar. I’ve said it before but some of you might be new, Gidge is also my RL nickname. I didn’t realize I was supposed to be creating an alternate person.  I’ve been told recently that the fact that I’m so just “myself” in world that it’s off putting to people living their fantasy on the grid.  I think that’s why I spend most of my time alone lately.

I Am Doll Parts

DOLL PARTS

 

I was excited to get a chance to check out this mesh hybrid avatar from a.e. meth for Skin Fair 2013. I have a Bloom Doll avatar which was a fun bobbled headed adventure, but this is something different – more of the vein of those who love the variety of dolls of the world and dressing them up.
