Hey, that’s me!

Jul19_008

The other day Inex Hax asked for same suggestions for this elegant houndstooth dress she was about to release for Peqe. I suggested Baskerville and then, for some reason, did not see follow-up replies because Plurk was being glitchy. So, when I logged in and saw an object from her named Cajsa, I assumed that she had labeled it for delivery. Until I opened it and saw that the box was called Cajsa because the dress was called Cajsa and that was when my eyes popped and I said, “Hey, that’s me!” Like anyone, I am thrilled to have a design named after me, especially when my name confounds so many people. Even better, though, when the dress is so very much “my style” like this dress. You all know I have a deep, abiding love for sheath dresses and pencil skirts, prints and elegant designs that pull from the past but look to the future. This is all that in one.

Tickled Pink

I love pink hair!

tickled pink

Sometime in my freshman year of high school, I decided I wanted pink hair.  I thought it would look pretty good with my combat boots.  Being a dark brunette, though, I never got the courage to fully bleach my hair so the pink could actually show up.  To this day, I still wish I could do it; the closest I ever came was pink streaks a few years ago.  And though my high school dreams were of hot pink hair, these days I wish I could do a lovely pastel.  Sigh.

But hey.  Isn’t it great we have Second Life, where we can have any hair color we want without all the bleach damage?

With that in mind,  I want to share a few of my favorite pink shades in SL.

Two Little Girls In Braids 2.0

There are two ladies that write for this blog who spent their childhoods with their long hair braided and wrapped around their heads. Their mothers would wrap their hair so tightly, that it would stay in place days if it needed to. I was one of those girls. I will give you a hint, the other one is a red head. Continue reading

My Second Box Goodies – ROUND TWO!

My Second Box has delivered it’s monthly membership goodies and I am super excited by the haul. First of all, let me show you the hair from ALICE PROJECT. Ruby is one of her INFINITY hairstyles, which you then use the HUD to color the bits and pieces the way you like. This is freakishly addictive, I have to admit.  Ruby comes with TWO bang options, I’m wearing the blunt straight bang option. Continue reading

Moving the Velvet

jul18_005

One of Second Life’s oldest indie music clubs, The Velvet, moved this week and there’s a huge party this weekend to celebrate and raise funds to pay for that transition and keep the club going. There will be music from 9 AM to 11 PM Saturday and Sunday and all the tips will go to the club. The Velvet has been playing great indie music for over five years and hope to keep going strong under the ownership of Maht Wuyts who has managed the club for the last year. The new location is here. I will be DJ’ing early Sunday morning – at 9 a.m. – a strange hour, I know, but then I DJ’ed at 6 AM for SL9B, so this is certainly better timing than that. If you can’t make my set, I hope you can make another – the music at The Velvet is always a great mix so you are sure to enjoy it.

I’ll Eat My Hat

jul16_004

People sometimes use the expression “I’ll eat my hat” to indicate disbelief or improbability. “If that horse wins, I’ll eat my hat.” or “I’ll eat my hat if she’s telling the truth.” The assumption is that the bet is safe and no one will be eating a hat soon. But you know, some hats do look good enough to eat – like this one from Bliensen & MaiTai. I decided to wear it, not eat it, because I love how it looks with this fabulous mesh dress from Kunglers.

There are so many reasons to love the Gisele dress from Kunglers. The sheath dress is always a flattering cut and the deep notched neckline adds a hint of sexiness. Most exciting, though, are the fabulous leaves that were painted on. Kunglers hallmark look is combining organic inspiration from their native South American flora with high fashion design. This dress is instantly recognizable as theirs.
