Lingerie and Lounging

Lingerie Times Four

Having received some wonderful lingerie recently, I decided to pull out my old Debutante Chaise Lounge from Diesel Works. I am sure there are newer ones around, but I don’t care. That old lounge is still one of the best pose props ever made. I started out with the fabulous new lingerie from Iota Ultsch. She’s not done lingerie before, but you wouldn’t know from this. She’s made a double rainbow of colors, so check it out. It’s pretty sexy and it took some careful posing to keep it PG. Luckily with 25 poses built in, that’s not an issue.

I have been shooting some pictures for Gidge – vendor photos for her new releases for the upcoming Culture Shock 2012 event benefitting Médecins Sans Frontières.  She’s still working away busily on even more pose prop options, but I got her permission to give you little peeks. For the vendor ad and this post, I wore the incredibly hot Cigarette Pants from One Bad Pixel. I chose the peach because it’s one of my favorite colors and a color that looks flattering on nearly everyone.

1 + One Bad Pixel

Leave a reply

If you missed the rumbling of the Earth over the weekend, a new mesh collaboration opened up and it’s sexy awesome, with lots of gorgeous pieces for girls who might like to show off their sexier sides from time to time. ONE BAD PIXEL is an unapologetic store run by alts (yay for being up front about it) of designers you know and love, and they’re even having a little contest to see if you can guess who they are. I loved the pieces I saw at the grand opening and I can’t wait to see more from these creators. Continue reading →

I could stand on Gidge’s hand!

I'm over here!

I am incredibly tiny today. I’m so tiny that it’s amusing me far much to pose my avatar in places around my house to see just how tiny I am. I bought this petite avatar yesterday after noticing that Material Squirrel sent me some demo petite wings. I stared at the wings, so tiny and pretty, and decided that I had to have something to stick them onto.

When I went to the Yabusaka Petite Market I felt instantly at home. Some of my favorite gothic/fantasy designers are already making stuff for petite avatars, so in no time at all I had a tiny little mesh body from Mynerva, hair from Wasabi Pills, and an outfit from Bare Rose. And the wings, of course! I might have to go back to the market today and see what else I can play with, it’s just too cute!

Nyu to You and to Me

NYU to You

Nyu is a brand new store in Second Life featuring classic ready to wear separates from NyuNyu Kimono in beautifully textured mesh. I love the elegant minimalism of her clothing that focuses on quality and clean aesthetics. You can hide lots of mistakes with embellishments, but not with these simple classics. The Vintage Blouse is from her shop while the skirt is one you have seen a few times before – the Westbury mini from Mon Tissu. I fatpacked the Westbury mini because it’s one that will stand the test of time.

NYU to You

NyuNyu also made a stunning coat that I am in love with. It comes in 4 colors and it was so hard to choose just one, though I settled for this one because I loved how its color worked with the blouse and I thought they would work beautifully together – which comes to one of my quibbles, not with the store, but with the properties of mesh overall.

I Wear Curses And Call Them Jewels

Donna Flora_006

It may or may not be news to you that allegedly you cannot wear opals unless you are born in the month of October. The myth is, they are cursed to anyone other than we Libras who wear them (or I suppose early Scorpios).  Conversely, some say that they are simply GOOD luck to those born in October who do wear them.

So many myth surround them, that I have to smile, and then make it a point to always wear them, as RL Gidge is indeed a child of the 10th Month. The month that was the 8th month until some vainglorious Romans added months. Continue reading →

Insert hand pun here

O Hey a Hand...

I like it when some of my favorite designers do unexpected things. The last thing I expected from Draconic Kiss was this pretty little sun dress, and the last thing I expected from MiaSnow was a set of hands. But they both did these with panache, and I feel all ready for summer now! (Look at the veins in those hands! The hud has nail, skin, and bangle color options, as well as hand angle. Love!)

I also note that Pose Fair is going on right now. I have a standing (har har) vow to never attend pose fair, because I know I’ll blow my monthly rent immediately. However, some of Pose Fair came to me in the form of a new Tillie pose hud, complete with Diesel Works poses. Sweet!

Serendipitous Swan

Swansong Serendipity

This gorgeous jacket from Swansong is called Serendipity. Serendipity is one of my favorite words as well as a lovely concept. While I don’t believe in fate or karma or other supernatural interventions in our lives, I do believe in serendipity. Serendipity is making desirable discoveries by accident, finding fortunate or agreeable things while you’re not looking for them, the happy coincidences of life. It’s that charming coincidence of deciding to wear a bright, colorful jacket like this one from Swansong and teleporting to Collbora88 and finding the fabulously florescent colored shoes from R2 that are a perfect complement, without even intending to look for them.

Contessina by Glam Affair

I have a confession. I used to over shoot all my blog posts by, oh, probably 100 pics. Yeah, you heard me. I’d shoot like 100 pics or more and then sit and sort and sort and sort and try to figure out two or three that worked. Call it rookie blogger behavior, call it insecurity but it’s true.

It’s been a long four years blogging, and Cajsa will be be proud to learn that not only have I stopped that, this morning…I shot one picture.

This is it.

I have a second confession. When I shoot serious fashiony looks like this, I always pretend I am Mavi Beck. True fact.
