Be Afraid

Leave a reply

Alexander McQueen once said he wanted people to be afraid of the women he dresses. I thought of him when I put this dress on. McQueen was one of those who brought panniers back into fashion. He also designed cage skirts, though nothing like this one from Datrip Blackbart of Legal Insanity. The panniers do create an imposing silhouette. Add that to the almost gladiator-like design from Blackbart and you have reason to be afraid, to be very afraid. Afraid that if you don’t get down to FASHIONART, the fabulous fair celebrating the fusion of art and fashion that opened this morning, you will miss out.

I am in love with the attention to detail. Look at the tiny bows where the pannier meets the dress, the piping under the bodice and the embellishment along the edge of the center panel. It is all exquisite detail that sets this dress apart. IT comes in several colors and prints include a punk version that I love just as much as this one. Continue reading →

Pink Of The Day

Leave a reply

Here is my Look of the Day! It’s all about the pink, which I think is appropriate for Mother’s Day Weekend. I always think of pink and flowers and spring and love and the birth of a season.

To all the Mother’s, Mother’s To Be, People Who Foster and Men who take on a Mother’s Role.

Happy Mother’s Day! <3

Do These Glasses Make Me Look Smart?

Leave a reply

The glasses and necklaces from YUMMY this round of COLLABOR88 are rocking my socks, nearly as much as anything else.  It’s difficult when one of your favorite styles in SL is all around you, to choose which thing you like best. So I won’t choose. I love the hair, I love the skin, I love the decor, I just LOVE it all.

That’s unusual. Some bloggers rave how much they love everything and while I don’t blog things I dislike, I don’t always LOVE everything anywhere. Even events I really enjoy, there are often pieces I think, eh, not me.  Continue reading →

I really don’t have much to say other than I’m loving everything from the new round of Collabor88. Seriously, every event should be rockabilly inspired. Of course, I might go broke so maybe that’s not such a good idea.

She hangs around the boulevard
She’s a local girl with local scars
She got home late, she got home late
She drank so hard the bottle ached
And she tried and she tried, and she tried and she tried
But nothing’s clear in a bar full of flies
So she takes and she takes, she takes and she takes
She understands when she gives it away
She says
Man I gotta get outta this town
Man I gotta get outta this pain
Man I gotta get outta this town
Outta this town & out of L.A.

She’s got a gun, she’s got a gun
She got a gun she calls the lucky one
She left a note right by the phone
Don’t leave a message ’cause this ain’t no home
And she cried and she cried, and she cried and she cried
She cried so long her tears ran dry
Then she laughed and she laughed, she laughed and she laughed
Cause she knew she was never comin’ back
She said
Man I’m gonna get outta this town
Man I’m gonna get outta this pain
Man I’m gonna get outta this town
Outta this town & out of L.A.

Rockabilly is ascendant at Collabor88 and that makes me happy. Of course, rockabilly is a music genre – but it  has its own fashion aesthetic just a punk, hiphop and grunge do. Music and fashion are forever entwined.

I thought you might enjoy this neo-rockabilly song from Imelda May, Johnny Got a Boom Boom.  If you listen, you will learn he also has a bam.

spectrums, palettes, rainbows and murder

Leave a reply

With all the colors in the universe, you would think we would have more than three collective nouns for colors. But rainbow, spectrum and palette are what we have. Kind of a dull set of collective nouns considering the collective noun for crows is murder.  Savoir Faire released a murder of crows for Pose Fair that ended last weekend. The poses are on sale at the store now and are still murderously good fun.

On May 9th, FASHIONART will open up to the public and I think you will enjoy the creative exploration of fashion meeting art. Is fashion art? Nina Garcia said it is not. I think she’s wrong. I think after you go to FASHIONART, you will probably think she is wrong, too. Let’s wait and see.

I Got Stuck On Monday

Leave a reply

Pixel Gidge had a hectic Monday. Life is harder when everything is slow in your SL. But she got dressed in a cute new jumpsuit from BAIASTICE for FAMESHED, and managed to make her coffee for the day.

That’s where she got stuck, alas.

There were more pictures, there were shoes. But my computer put them somewhere secret. So they aren’t to be known.

But PIxel Gidge had her caffeine and headed out into the world. What fashion and adventures she found remain to be seen.

Gidge Is Wearing:

Skin: Belleza – Ria – Pale
Hair: Truth – Zoella
Eyes: Ikon – Periwinkle
Jumpsuit: Baiastice – Sophia Jumpsuit – in Paloma
Necklace: Bliensen & Maitai – Gilgalad Necklace – FANTASY FAIR
Lashes: Amacci
Counter: BAZAR
Cup: Mish Mish
Hands: SLINK
Manicure: FLAIR

Sketch the trees and the daffodils

FASHIONART opens on May 9th and one of the fabulous dresses is this Impressionism Dress. It comes in several colors, but my favorite was inspired by Vincent Van Gogh’s fabulous Starry Night. Of course that made me think of the incomparable Don McLean’s song, Vincent.

Starry, starry night
Paint your palette blue and gray
Look out on a summer’s day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul

Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and the daffodils
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
In colors on the snowy linen land

The HopScotch on the wind pose set with the flowing scarves (sheer or opaque) are one of my favorite finds at Pose Fair. Best of all, they are modifiable, so i can edit the color and transparency.

Now I understand
What you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free

They would not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps they’ll listen now

The Impressionism dress has a sheer waterfall skirt over an opaque skirt. The sheer print over the opaque solid works well with every print and color used in the several creations.
