The RoboBambie Challenge – Do YOU Have What It Takes?

Leave a reply

First……..the CHALLENGE.

Ok bloganistas…..I’m issuing you a challenge to get the hell out of your box and blog something that absolutely falls under the category of NON-TRADITIONAL BEAUTY. I totally want to see some of you blog ROBOBAMBIE by THE STRINGER MAUSOLEUM which you can find at the HAIR FAIR.

This is my #1 Favorite hair from the Fair and I’ll tell you why in a minute.

But first, I think that I want to lay out my rules for my challenge. THERE ARE NO RULES. I just want to see everyone wearing this hair. I want NOTHING BUT THIS HAIR ON THE FEEDS 24/7………ok ok ok maybe not. That’s a lot of robot hair. But I’m kinda dying to see what other people would do with it.

Me? I made a dress out of it.

Why?

Well that’s a funny story…..it goes like this. Continue reading →

Louna Preis, proprietor of the Black Coffee Jazz Club and Louna's Roadside Beach Club rocks her own style - assembling clothes that could easily fit into an ordinary outfit into something quite extraordinary.

Picture perfect memories, scattered all around the floor.
Reaching for the phone cause, I can’t fight it any more.
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind.
For me it happens all the time.

It’s a quarter after one, I’m all alone and I need you now.
I said I wouldn’t call but I lost all control and I need you now.
And I don’t know how I can do without, I just need you now.

The FAUXHEMIAN Hair from [Curio] wins my hands down best hair name at this years HAIR FAIR. It made my short list of styles I HAD to have so I was pretty stoked to get it on and be a pretty girl in it.

But then, I couldn’t figure out what to wear. Continue reading →

Three Event Openings in One Day: Bring It On

Leave a reply

For SL Fashionistas, this weekend presents the beginning of an embarrassment of riches coupled with the opportunity to do good while looking good. Yes, there are three, three highly anticipated events that opened this weekend and two of them are fundraisers. One is Designers United, the sporadic exhibition of design focused on a single theme, another is Hair Fair, raising funds for Wigs for Kids, and the other is Project Donate, an emergency fundraiser for UNICEF and their program of flood relief for Pakistan. To visually demonstrate that all this activity should be embraced as a good thing, I put together an outfit featuring items from all three events.

In fact, I decided to take the idea of mixing up the events so far that the top I am wearing is part Designers United and part Project Donate. The upper portion comes from La Gyo’s Antique Tunic for Designers United and the bottom portion comes from Bublee Bing’s Inspired by Valentino dress for Project Donate. The skirt also comes from the Inspired by Valentino Dress

Phoenix rocks her look, casting a come-hither look over her shoulder.

All I ever wanted was our love to be true
More than just enough to get me by
I want a love to see me through
I don’t need another well-spent night,
Another clever sideways glance
I wanna look my baby in the eye
And know there’s nothing left to chance

Phoenix Piek_004.jpg

Beautifully accessorized by her own jewelry, her shirt may say "Beautiful and Bored" but what her look really says is "don't waste my time"

Well if you’re tired of being lonely, beat up and confused
Darling, there’s only one thing you can do:
Come to me
Don’t be the one who’s waiting
Come to me
Babe, I got what you need
Won’t you come to me
There won’t be no hesitating, babe
I know what you mean to me

Phoenix was shot on location at Cincetta. It's a happy coincidence that the ruins in the background reflect the colors of her outfit.

San Francisco Bay Blues

I got the blues from my baby left me
by the San Francisco Bay,
The ocean liner’s gone so far away.
Didn’t mean to treat him so bad,
He was the best guy I ever have had,
He said goodbye, I can take a cry,
I want to lay down and die.

Aug31_001.jpg

I ain’t got a nickel
and I ain’t got a lousy dime.
He don’t come back,
think I’m going to lose my mind.
If he ever gets back to stay,
it’s going to be another brand new day,
Walking with my baby
down by the San Francisco Bay.

I just have to show these off again. When Maitreya releases new products, a small number of group members are randomly selected and awarded fatpacks of the new release. With the popularity of Maitreya and its obviously large membership I never expected to win, but was surprised and squeefully pleased to discover that I did win fatpacks of the new Hana shoes released last week. And are they not lovely? Before I impress you with my skin matching skills, I should not that I just followed the instructions in the notecard that tells you exactly how to match your skin.

I am wearing a retro-inspired dress from AngelWing. I picked it up at the Clothing Fair, but did run over to the store to verify that it’s on sale in the store. I really love the floral print of the fabric and the lovely colors.

I shot the dress at Route 9 – a gorgeous suspension bridge that was surely built to showcase lots of photos. Continue reading →

Rumor Has It

Rumor has it that Hair Fair is coming soon! It starts next weekend, to be specific. You should check out the Hair Fair blog for up to date information, including an explanation for their decision to set up as two sets of two sims instead of one set of four. As someone who has spent 20 minutes or more at a time bouncing off a sim border – that explanation makes sense to me.  However, I think the best idea for this year is the creation of a Hair Fair Demo group you can join.  Think of the possibilities. Not only can you try on the demos at your lag-free home at your leisure, but you could get together with friends and have a Demo Dance. Gidge & I threw a Hair Demo party once and it was hysterical.

Speaking of rumors, here’s a happy one and a true one. Miko Omegamu is back releasing new clothing for Icing. It’s been nearly a year since her last release, so I was thrilled to go to Icing and pick up this gorgeous Pink Lemonade dress.

Okay, neither of those were rumors. However, since I shot the dress at The Rumor, I could not resist the conceit. The Rumor is a beautifully made market sim that has a very photogenic landing point. And a camel with pink hair!!! Continue reading →
