Christmas comes to New York

My Barnesworth Anubis NYC Skybox Apartment, that is! This has to be my favorite skybox yet by Mr. Anubis. I fell in love with his skyboxes when I bought one at Collabor88 a while back and now I have a kind of crazy fascination with them.

I’ve just put the finishing touches on my holiday decorations and I thought I would share with you….

Nothing is better than spending the day relaxing by a fire after working so hard to put all those decorations out….

A Little Lace Love

nov23_003

The Secret Store & NYU released a fabulous dress with a subtly simple design. The high waist, pleats and the hem, cut on a different grain for contrast, add to its visual interest without being over-designed. There is also lovely feminine Flanders lace collar that softens its minimalist aesthetic.

I’m not frightened of this world believe me

And I am thankful

My corset is a cage and my boots are embroidered with beautiful skulls. I’m feeling a surge of thanks for Second Life, because it always provides me a place to hide away and create something. Creation is blood, and having this avenue of creation open to me no matter where I am or how my body feels is a wonderful thing. Happy (US) Thanksgiving. I’m off to celebrate tomorrow in true joy for being where I am, in the 21st century, in this world, in this Second life. (O hey, Cajsa is wearing this neat caged corset from Plastik too!)

It's a good day

Pose Appreciation: oOo Studio

nov20_003

Poses are what separates avatars from mannequins and dress up dolls. They convey emotions, attitudes and actions. In a photo, we can have the most beautiful setting and glorious gowns, but without a pose, we have no narrative. They are the verbs in our Second LifeĀ® stories. Olaenka Chesnokov of oOo Studio is a wonderful storyteller. Do I really have to tell you that this pose is from her Bitch series? Can’t you tell by looking?

Skully Is Girly Too

Girly Skulls FTW

I am running around the grid covered in skulls and swathed in girly fun despite the macabre emblems decorating my dress and boots. Ā The Sugardoll dress from BLUEBLOOD is a perfect fit with these new boots from Lassitude & Ennui, I have to admit a bit of a squee when I realized how cute they were together. And these are at the Unhinged Gacha for 60 a pull! EEEEE!Ā  GACHA!

Just a bit of a squee, because you know, it’s not like I ran into a sorority sister at the mall…. Continue reading

After the Gold Rush

Nov17b_005

I wore this dress for the Grand Opening of CAE, the hottest new jewelry store in Second LifeĀ®. It’s flirty skirt is perfect for dancing. The fabric, with its layers of gold makes me think of handmade paper. With the metallic fabric and the exaggerated shoulders, it sort of reminds me of a suit of armor, which made me think of After the Gold Rush.Ā 

Well, I dreamed I saw the knights
In armor coming,
Saying something about a queen.
There were peasants singing and
Drummers drumming
And the archer split the tree.
There was a fanfare blowing
To the sun
That was floating on the breeze.
Look at Mother Nature on the run
In the nineteen seventies.
Look at Mother Nature on the run
In the nineteen seventies.
