Blogger Challenge: More to Love

Hybie challenged us to make a cute plus-sized shape and style it. I dawdled because I was busy on other projects – but last night I bit the bullet and got to it.  Trinny and Suzannah may object to the baby doll as one of their key lessons is to define the shape, not hide it. Nonetheless, I could not resist its powerful allure. The little dress from Fishy Strawberry is too cute and demanded to be worn NOW – and would not wait. I tried to wear something else, but it leapt out of my closet and ran around hollering  “wear me, wear me, wear me.”  Clothes can be so demanding sometimes.

e! is for EXCITED!

posted by Gidge Uriza

And Excited is what I am to be out of bed. WHERE HAS GIDGE BEEN? Well, she’s on bedrest. So, she can’t be up and about. But she’s had a really good 24 hours so she’s taking the liberty of an hour or two to sit up – and her back in RL is screaming to GET OUT OF BED so that is exactly what I am doing. Continue reading

Feeling Partial to Portia

Saschi Vixen of Adam N Eve has just released two new skins, including the vibrant Portia that I am wearing today. She dropped a few promotional copies my way, but when I saw what rich makeups she made, I had to hop over and pick up some more. I have to make special mention of her vendor system, though, because it’s pure genius. First, I recommend joining the group because the vendor discounts 10% for group members. When you select the skin you want, you are offered the chance to keep shopping and make your own custom fat pack. It was simple to use and the combined discount was 33% and being able to custom make a fat pack if fantastic. The first makeup that went into my pack was this Evergreen, because us green-eyed redheads drool over green shadow.

When I first saw the makeup, I knew I wanted to shoot it in the moonlight. It has that luminosity that the moonlight could only enhance. My friend Bhaio Shan had just advised me to check out Noah’s Ark – and when I saw the photo in the landmark, I know it would be perfect so now I just had to choose a dress. This is a great sim for shooting though you can only use huds as you cannot rez.

Well, it may be called the Krisha Sun Dress, but I think it rocked the moonlight. The dress if from ROC and I love the big bold floral print and loved shooting it among the fantastic flowers on the sim.  Now it’s chilly running around in the water in the moonlight – so I added the lovely lace cardigan from Coco. Every piece of this is tintable – and you saw it just the other day in mauve – same cardigan, just tinting away.

posted by Gidge Uriza

One of the stores that handed out a gift at the VIP Keys hunt (hell I forget the actual name of it) was FROP. I’m still unpacking – as you can tell, because it’s the only hunt I ever completed I’m rather savoring it. Continue reading

Sunday Mish Mash

I wore this gorgeous piece -KABUKI- from Mon Amour the other day over at Second Style – and well, frankly, I just wasn’t done wearing it. It was just to wicked awesome to let go that quickly. So I decided to flip around a few things and see what shoot out for a completely different look. Continue reading

I'm No Novice

Sascha Frangilli of Sascha’s designs is by far one of my favorite evening and cocktail gown creators. She’s never afraid to embrace embellishment on a grand scale and her NOVICE gown is no exception.  Wearing a mink stole in keeping with the fall color of this one, I’m feeling gorgeous in this exceptional cocktail dress.

Cigar? Cigarette?

posted by Gidge Uriza

The folks at Reasonable Desires released this one a while back but I never remember to shoot things in order. So while it’s not NEW – it’s still uber fantastic and cute.

Cajsa had an event at MDR back in the day, and she had a good Furry friend of ours wear a waiter AO with a serving tray which was very festive and fun. This costume is in the same idea – your traditional 40s style Cigar/Cigarette Girl (they often also had gum and candies to freshen your breath back in the day) with a tray that actually gives stuff out.
