Sienna…. Week 10

When I saw this weeks color was Sienna… the very first thing that popped into my head was ….. HAIR!… I’m a redhead so, Sienna is just one shade of red (in my opinion).  And when I decided to shoot hair, then  I realized I had to break out my Omega Flexi System from PhotoLife.

Check out the Omega Flexi System inworld HERE.

The hair is from Tukinowaguma and is called Melinda – its in the natural section.

Cajsa Copycat

It only takes a few cotton candy cosmos and a bottle of cheap fruity wine to make me decide to blog exactly the same dress as Cajsa just blogged.

Because I’m funny like that.

I had the sense to pick out a different color of Baiastice’s NORA dress which is a limited edition piece of the CHIC event, whose theme is Sweet and Sour. I can’t decide which this retro inspired cocktail dress is. I’m always sweet, so that must be it. It’s sweet. Or it could be sour as I could imagine desperate cougars wearing this about trying to look young and beautiful like me. Continue reading

I Fell In Love

jan15_014

I fell in love yesterday, with an installation called XIV on the Dignity Sim. Such a stunning venue deserved a stunning dress and the limited edition Nora from Baiastice is just the dress. Designed for the Chic Limited event that features 30 designers producing works based on a theme. The January theme is Sweet and Sour. Sadly, it’s been so long since shooting water, I forgot that shooting pictures larger than your screen size will fracture the water in photos – a sorry photo glitch that has been around for over a year now.

Because of the water glitch, I logged back in just to shoot some photos of the sim reducing the size to my screen size – which is how you get rid of that glitch. Here’s one of the many photos from XIV, the lovely installation. I took a few dozen photos of the sim for the Stock Photos Flickr group Sasy Scarborough started – sharing photos suitable for people to use as backgrounds for those who prefer shooting in the studio and popping in a background later.

Print Mania

jan14SIC_017

I don’t know what ancient arbiter of style first asserted that thou shalt never mix prints, but he was as wrong as two left shoes. Luckily, our generation has gotten over that hoary antique of fashion diktat and moved on to a more exciting and more printastic era. Mixing prints is an art and one well practiced at Peqe as you can see in the lovely little dress that mixes a leopard and lace print. Of course, I had to add to the printasm with floral tights.

Mixing three prints could be a clashtastrophe, but notice what is next to what. You see, the first is mostly black, then mostly white, then mostly black. If the floral were next to the leopard, it would not work.

52 Weeks of Color – Plum

jan12_006

I don’t know about you, but my first impulse when I put on a sleek and silky dress is to rush right out in the snow for picture-taking. I am not alone in this as you know if you, like me, enjoy looking at all the pictures from other bloggers.

When I put on this gorgeous plum colored gown from Donna Flora, I immediately had to ask the seals at the lovely Winter Solstice sim what they thought of the riotous roses on the sleeves and shoulders. They approved.

52 Weeks of Color — Indigo

jan12_081

It seems strange, yet fitting, that my first 52 Weeks of Color posting after coming home from the hospital is for the color Indigo. It immediately reminded me of a good friend, just a few years older than me, whose death last year shocked me with its suddenness. She was a true artist and often gave me pieces of her work. Her work hangs all over my home. Her last project was writing a young adult novel and I am slowly working my way through it, editing it for her family before they seek publication. It’s a slow process because when I read, I hear her voice and drift into remembrance. She was also a finder of odd and interesting books that she would give her friends. One that she gave me was an artist’s “memoir” of the color indigo. A strange and extraordinary book, I expect it is long out of print and possibly vanity-published as I cannot find it anywhere on the web to point you in its direction. That was one of her gifts – the art of finding strange, inexplicable and surprising books that could seem bizarre at first blush, but always were fascinating and fun reads. Indigo will always make me think of her – and the memories are wonderful.
