Grayed Rainbow

Wear Gray

I love this mesh top from Elmont - with the subtle musical score printed on the fabric. It's available in three options at Wear Gray Market.

My childhood winters seem from another world now that I am grown and living in a city. We frequently were without power. There were just two families on our long, narrow and winding road through the woods, so when storms knocked out the electricity it might take 5 to 10 days for them to get around to repairing our lines. We had plenty of kerosene lamps and were always prepared, so it was not a hardship, though I thought I should get extra credit on my history papers for writing them by lamplight. One of the bonuses of those nights without power was that we pulled out the board games and played cards and games for hours.

Prelude is a new release from WTG and includes not only these highly detailed bangles and nail sets, but also earrings and a necklace.

My favorite game was Masterpiece, the art auction game. I think that is where I learned my love of art. In most games, I am a very good strategic player, but in Masterpiece, I was not. I bid on the art I wanted, not the art I thought had the highest hidden value. One that I was sure to outbid everyone on was Jackson Pollack’s Grayed Rainbow. Mom was always puzzled by my love for Grayed Rainbow while delighting in sticking me with its forgery.  I could not really explain why that painting had such a pull on me, but it did. Looking at it as an adult, I am still drawn to it, but now I can explain why. You see, at first glance it looks a bunch of white paint dribbled and splashed on a black background, but it’s not. There really is an entire rainbow there, but you have to pause and let it reveal itself. It always seemed to me to be a painting about hope – the rainbow hidden by storms and despair, but there all the time if you have the patience to wait for it to reveal itself.

Welcome to Sanity Falls

Welcome to Sanity Falls

For fun, I went to check out the newest MadPea production – Sanity Falls, a multi-sim hunt for the ransom to rescue your kidnapped spouse. I only made it to the city limits, distracted by the memes of Second Life plurkerville. I am wearing a great mesh dress from Tukinowaguma. Why didn’t I know Tukinowaguma had mesh? At 150L per dress, that’s a great place to shop for quality mesh clothing – all in standard sizes.

MWFW 2012 Recap

MWFW2

So RL has been kicking my butt these last couple of weeks. I think I’ve fallen asleep at my PC at least 5 times since my last post here lol. Throw in a little good old fashion SL drama and that makes for a rather distracted fortnight. So distracting in fact that I almost missed Menswear Fashion Week 2012. The event ended this past Saturday, but luckily, I was able to sneak in and pick up a few (ok, more than a few) things.

Sweet and So Easy

MiaMai Sweet

When MiaMai designer Monica Outlander and posemaker Mavi Beck have releases names Sweet and So Easy respectively, it is almost obligatory to show them together. So of course, I had to try one of the 11 fabulous colors of the new Sweet cocktail dress from MiaMai (I see there’s another color for Fashionably Late to bring it to an even dozen.) and opted for the teal. All poses in this post are from the So Easy set from MiaMai.

Color!

Chatkare Culture Shock

I love the bold, color-blocking in Appolonia Criss’s new dress called City Chic. She takes a very mod style and updates it with a blouson top and short, very modern sleeves.

Chatkare Culture Chic

I decided to note the military-inspird sleeves by adding the gauntlets from Nzuri, though most gauntlets don’t have adorable bows at the wrist.

Chatkare Culture Chic

This brilliant and bold color got me looking for a brilliant and bold place to shoot and that led me to the Labyrinth of Absurdity.

“Aftermath” — The Palais Orleans Gallery Reopening Exhibit

Palais Orleans Gallery

Palais Orleans Gallery

It’s always the nights where you just slap a few things on that you end up going out, right? So there I was between outfits (bald and barefoot doesn’t begin to cover it) when Morgana Nagorski sent me an invite to the opening of an exhibit at the Palais Orleans Gallery. It wasn’t just the exhibit that was opening — it was the first exhibit in the reborn gallery, and the first that Morgana is running as sole proprietress. So what could I do? I threw on the first folder I could find and went…
