Visions of Sugar Plums


Plum was a fun color of the 52 week challenge for me. I coulda just thrown on something plum colored but I decided to hunt about both my inventory and the grid for just the look I was looking for to go with this hair from Exile.
It’s called Violet. Which is CLOSE to plum. But, I’m not wearing that color in the hair, cuz that’s how I roll. Continue reading

Yummy Plum!

Every week, when we hear what the new color will be for the 52 Weeks of Color bloggers challenge, I scour my favorite designers shops for something that I think is the perfect hue for that week.  When I saw this dress at Ingenue it jumped out at me screaming… I’m PLUM!  And it doesn’t hurt that it fits nicely into my “look” of late – that 40’s pinup girl style.

From the sexy sweetheart cut-out neckline ~ down to the flouncy bottom of the waist defining corset ~ and the sexy hip hugging pencil skirt this dress screams sex siren.  And plum just goes fantastically with my red hot hair.

Style Notes:

Dress:  Ingenue – East West, Purple Haze

Shoes:  Ingenue – Freynii, Noir

Jewelry:  Donna Flora – Dark, earrings and Exodi – Monarchy, Bracelet

Hair:  Pocket Mirrors – Josie Curls, Brick

Skin:  Belleza – Jesse, Sunkiss 9 (cleavage)

Paranoia Rising

nov13_001

In case you missed the news, I have been exploring the fresh new hell that is modern medical care. Don’t get me wrong, I am overwhelmed by the compassion and professional care provided by the nurses, doctors and all the staff. Even when I have been “i know you are trying to kill me” paranoid, they have been wonderful. But all the compassion in the world cannot put the lid back on the bug jar when that bizarre combination of real physical pain, the loss of editorial control from pain meds and the psychosis induced by renal failure introduced me to an entire new world. In fact, when I get out I think I have some blockbuster sci-fi stories on file, if I can find some thread of coherence.

Isn’t it just perfect, then, that the last photo shoot before I went into the hospital is atypical of my usual shoot and includes some pics that would totally fit into a couple of my narratives of the last week, like the one where the Dept. of Defense was attempting to do a consciousness transfer of my mind to the man who loves war via Ipod. Ipod??? Go figure. But I am pleased that the DoD was on the side of peace and justice and only hatched their scheme in response to his love of war.

Let the Sun Shine!

Now that winter is nearly upon us I felt a nice sunny post for this week’s color in the bloggers challenge was appropriate.  Goldenrod was a challenging color for me as I have very little yellow in my wardrobe, its does not look good on me in RL so I just don’t usually wear it in SL.  But here goes….. found this groovy outfit at Nyte ‘N’ Day and thought “perfect”.  I love the look and the color is fabulous. AND amazingly enough, Gala looks GREAT in yellow (or goldenrod)!

Take a look and see if you don’t agree!

Style notes:

Outfit:  Nyte ‘N’ Day – Retesk, Orange (but I think its Goldenrod)

Jewelry:  Nova – Bangles, Brown

Shoes:  Bax – Prestige, White Leather

Hair:  Sweet – Baroness V1, DT12

Eyes:  Poetic Colors – Bright, Ice Crystals

Skin:  League – Amber, Sunkiss-Pink Champagne

Color Me Coddly, Color Me Happy

I had planned to blog this before I went into the hospital for surgery, but ran out of “oomph” and didn’t get it up. I shot this for Luna Jubilee’s 52 Weeks of Color Challenge because I love this gown from Paper Couture and it’s blue, blue, blue!!!!

nov11_030

The gown may be blue and the lovely Endless sim may be blue, but I a not feeling blue at all. I am a happy woman. When my best friend came to visit me after surgery she said, “before we chat, go look at your blog.” I cried, of course, touched not only be the treasure trove that is Gidge’s boundless heart, but also by the outpouring of good wishes, hopes and prayers from friends, acquaintances and readers here on the blog, in SL and in plurk. There was a whirlwind of love and kindness that circled the globe, gathering up hope an dropping it gently into that operating theater here at OHSU. And it worked. My surgery was complete within the minimum estimated time and there were no complications at all. Despite a rough day of illness and drama yesterday, I woke up this morning full of energy and optimism. Thank you each and every one for adding your voice to that whirlwind of hope that lifted me up through a very rough few days.
