Fabienne – A Palace for A Kept Woman

Leave a reply

My Universe

The Fabienne skybox is the latest release from Barnesworth Anubis for Collabor88. It’s amazing to me what architecture can inspire in a person. While the name, Fabienne, put my brain in a very salty Pulp Fiction sort of place, upon rezzing it and seeing the beautiful build, I slipped into a very different frame of mind.

It reminded me of the sort of place a kept woman would live. Lol.

It has a masculine elegance and with just a touch of feminine grace that truly reminded me of a place that a man would BUY – for a woman. Barnesworth is going to kill me now I can just feel it. Continue reading →

Such pretty feet

Jackal's blossom wedge sandals

O where have you been, wandering Acha?! I’ve been a million places, and I’ve rocked them all, of course. Actually, I’ve been contending with the fact that SL no longer likes me to take snapshots. Remove snapshots from the blogger and what’s left!? Things seem to be settling down again, so I managed to catch these beautiful sandals before they got lost in the realm of capped messages.

They remind me of Indian Summer, these Blossom Wedge Sandals from Lassitude & Ennui. They remind me so much of it that I put on a bathing suit to soak up a few final last rays before August succumbs to September. (You can find these sandals at L’Accessoire!)

How have your summers been? Mine came and went far too quickly.

Such well-defined feet!

Do you believe InMonster(s)?

I love finding a new (to me) store at events like Vintage Fair. It’s a double bonus when their designs are fresh, high fashion styles that make me happy. InMonster certainly does that. There’s so much to love about this dress, from the bright scarlet lace to the structure cap sleeves. I definitely will be keeping my eyes out for more from this high fashion brand.

Bathe Yourself In Light

Leave a reply

All of the best things in my Second Life I do with Cajsa. That’s no lie. Anything awesome and spectacular started with us going “what if we did ….” and suddenly we’ve got something that makes us both squee.

This box of light is like that. Cajsa had started messing about with projectors and boxes and  then we realized that once again, the symbiotic nature of our relationship fit together perfectly – she could build it and I could script it with poses and we’d have something beautiful.

Projectors Made Easy as 123

Leave a reply

BAIASTICE @ Vintage Fair

Since Gidge and I have been playing with projectors lately, a few people have checked out the tutorials and asked a few questions about how to do it. So Gidge got the great idea of setting up a pose box with the projector and light leak texture built right in along with some poses situated in the sweet spot where the projectors come together. Thus the Status Dual Projector Box 1.0 was born. It makes taking fun pictures as easy as 123. But first, let’s take a look at this gorgeous top and skirt from Baiastice for Vintage Fair. It comes in several colors and you can put the same color top and skirt together to look more like a dress, but I love hot pink and lime – they are just the perfect expression of summer. I love the easy style of the top and skirt with the great details that make it special, like the inset belt and the soft pleating at the hem of the skirt.

If you go out in the woods today

Sn@tch @ Vintage Fair

I can’t promise you would find a Teddy Bear’s Picnic, but the little bit of woods at Lettuce, home sim to Cafe Adrastea, does have the loveliest little glade of trees. A glade filled with flowers and light, though I could not resist adding a projector to give add some color to the light.

Sn@tch @ Vintage Fair

The June Party dress from Sn@tch is a floral explosion of color in itself. It’s got a very 50s silhouette with the figure hugging bodice, nipped waist and full skirt and is one of Sn@tch’s Vintage Fair creations. Ivey Deschanel made this lovely dress in six beautiful colors. The dress is made of system layers, sculpts and flexi. It’s one of the great things about Ivey and Sn@tch – the wisdom to choose the right technology for the dress. She makes excellent mesh, but knows that not every piece is best served with the latest technology.

Don’t You Mess with the Messer

Vintage Fair - Loovus Dzevaror

This stunning gown from Loovus Dzevavor for Vintage Fair is another of those gowns that I can imagine being worn by one of the great singers, singing songs of passion and power. Perhaps even that old, old blues wonder, Don’t Mess with the Messer

I’m gonna cross the crosser
I’m gonna cheat the cheater
I’m gonna use the user
and then beat the beater
You can’t mess with the messer
The messer gonna mess with you

BOOK CLUB!

Leave a reply

I am a little excited cuz I joined an SL book club. It might sound silly but I never do stuff very much other than work, and the occasional party so to have a planned SL activity plus yay BOOKS, I was excited.

My friend Owly has been quoting from this book for days, and eventually I was so intrigued I had to ask about it and then next thing I knew I was reserving the book at the library and then I was making plans to attend. Continue reading →

Bouncing Through Vintage Fair

Bounce - projector raw photos

Bounce has made a ton (a scientifically accurate standard of measurement) of these gorgeous summer dresses for Vintage Fair. They made me extra happy by making them with different textures that suit different moods instead of a rainbow of one texture. So there’s dressy, romantic, nostalgic, and basically a texture for every day of the week.

It Could Also Be A Couch

Leave a reply

This might not sound like a compliment, unless you – as a small child, spent hours and hours in discount fabric stores in the 70s. They heavy, thick fabric texturing of this sundress from Aris Aris reminded me immediately of fabric that you could find on sale to cover your chair, or to make a skirt or a dress.  It’s made with natural looking creasing that only lends to it’s appearance as a thick woven fabric, heavier than a denim.
