High-waisted pants, sleeveless print tops, narrow belts – all are iconic fashions of the 1960s. Shinichi Mathy of Shiki Designs, though, gives them contemporary punch with his bright, saturated colors and shine in the Esme pants outfit. The pink in those pants is pure 2011.

I really only had one thing to say when I saw the SANA release from Adam N Eve for Fantasy Faire. Pink? Sparkly? Makes my ass look fantastic?
OMG DO WANT!?!?!?!!!!!!
Funny story.
The second place I ever lived in SL was called Sana. A friend bought it and I moved there living on part of a huge swath of land he’d purchased. Across the waterway, there was a big house that he’d bought for all his, ahem – girls. He said have fun decorate your house and we’ll all live in peace an harmony.
Which was all good till about a week later when he came over and said “Gidge, I love your house, but the girls say they can’t rezz any objects. And I looked – and you’re using four thousand prims.”
To which I said “What are prims?”
Good times…………..
Good times.
Where to get it? Mostly – Fantasy Faire!
So I went exploring, looking for a place to shoot and was wandering around this fair when suddenly I fell to my death and was teleported back home. Not one to argue with the SL gods, I decided I would just settle my poor bruised bones on the couch and shoot at home. Besides, I wanted to get this outfit shot for the Same Damn Thing Challenge celebrating Achariya’s contributions to the Second Life fashion/blogging community,
I shot this to show you my favorite feature about my house – the swimming pool. The house is placed in the water naturally, avoiding the use of prim water and sounds. It gives it so much more life and the walkway down to the water is a masterpiece of perspective.

I went to the atmospheric haunted sim Innsmouth to shoot this lovely gown from MiaMai. The layered full skirt, the pouf of fabric on the shoulder, the filigree adornment at the neck all seemed perfect for a noir shoot. Add the hot fishnet gloves from Adore & Abhor and I am ready for noir.
Spooky!

Dress is from Peqe for Project Fur Japan raising money for relief efforts.
I went through the desert on a horse with no name. (He was a freebie at the entrance)
It felt good to be out of the rain. (Portland broke its wettest March record.)
There were plants and birds and rocks and things (and things?)
There was sand and hills and rings (rings, really?)
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz (what was he smoking?)
And the sky with no clouds (what do you expect, it’s the desert)
The heat was hot and the ground was dry (hot heat is hot)
But the air was full of sound (only if you brought your ipod)
The shoes are from Peqe - the Dark Leopard Wedges
Cajsa took me exploring on the Emerald Green sim the other night, and I decided it was a good excuse to shoot a few out of the studio. The entire location is so amazing and beautiful I’m probably going to have to go back a few times. There are tons of gorgeous vignettes and scenery. It’s a happy blogger place for shooting.
Those photographer types would probably like it too. Continue reading
The Cherry Blossom Petals from RunoRuno for the Help Japan fundraiser has seduced dozens of bloggers and photographer to take more than one shot at capturing the lyrical beauty of the petals. Here is my attempt.

I am stealing a segment and the title from D. H. Lawrence’s poem. You know, for all his notoriety for Lady Chatterley’s Lover, Sons and Lovers and Women In Love, I always thought he wrote most passionately about nature. He wrote as though he wanted to strip and roll around naked in the grass and describe all the pokes and prickles, the fresh scents and the soft springiness.
And the ghostly, creamy coloured little tree of leaves
white, ivory white among the rambling greens
how evanescent, variegated elder, she hesitates on the green grass
as if, in another moment, she would disappear
with all her grace of foam!
This was shot at Emerald Green where little surprises like this lovely garden are hidden around every corner.

I am bored shooting in the studio, at least for today, so went roaming at the Mysterious Wave installation where Cajsa went shooting yesterday.
Disco Deals is open and there are some really beautiful and unique things this month! Right now I’m wearing the Lola Rocks shirt from MIAO and the awesome locket necklace also from Miao. It’s got color change on the stone so you can match it with whatever you like, but I was in purple place! Continue reading
