Echoes & Mirrors

The myths of Narcissus and Echo have inspired a tremendous outpouring of art throughout history and now and exhibition of the creative arts of Second Life with Designers United. The majority of the work at Designers United is fashion – such as this dress I am wearing, but there’s also posemaking and home building. The mirroring bench I used in these shots with their poses is an outstanding example of that creativity and craftsmanship.

The genius is that the poses in the bottom bench mirror the poses in the top and a semi-sheer prim separates them to give the effect of water. Taking two photos and putting them together is a relatively simple task and with the bench designed to create the mirrored effect, it was an easy thing to do.

I picked up THE FRENCH CONNECTION hair from Clawtooth at the Hair Fair (sim 1) and figured at some point I’d figure out what to wear with it.

The SECOND I saw Whimsy plurk this new release from THE ICING I knew I’d found it!

You had me at it comes in PINK!

It actually comes in several colors including a fall appropriate houndstooth.  But none of the other colors were pink.

Now I am off for some real life!

Have a fantastic Thursday! MUWAH!

Style Notes

  • Skin – Pink Fuel – RAINE – Honey tone
  • Hair – Clawtooth from the Hair Fair – The French Connection
  • Dress – The Icing – Peggy in pink

The Designers United event missed my radar somehow until I saw Cajsa’s blogpost. I don’t know how I missed it but I’m scattered, what can I say?

I had been petting and drooling over the gorgeous creativity dropped on the Hair Fair by Tekeli-Li this year (yes this Barbie is a huge Tekeli-Li fan, go figure) and I had my skin all picked out but just couldn’t decide what to wear – until I got the DU notice about this dress from ORTA.

Guest Stylist Callie Oh makes beautiful music with her styling of this gorgeous outfit. I asked to send me notes for  this blog post and this is what she wrote: “I am not a blogger nor a stylist, but I do love to wander the smaller shops looking for that something special I haven’t seen before and piecing together a look bit by bit. I found this dress at  dp yum yum, added my Mandala pearls and Maitreya shoes and immediately felt like doing the Charleston all around the mall, well if it weren’t for lag I would have!”

Since her outfit made her feel the music – it seems so perfect that I decided to shoot the pictures at Cadenza. Continue reading →

The RoboBambie Challenge – Do YOU Have What It Takes?

Leave a reply

First……..the CHALLENGE.

Ok bloganistas…..I’m issuing you a challenge to get the hell out of your box and blog something that absolutely falls under the category of NON-TRADITIONAL BEAUTY. I totally want to see some of you blog ROBOBAMBIE by THE STRINGER MAUSOLEUM which you can find at the HAIR FAIR.

This is my #1 Favorite hair from the Fair and I’ll tell you why in a minute.

But first, I think that I want to lay out my rules for my challenge. THERE ARE NO RULES. I just want to see everyone wearing this hair. I want NOTHING BUT THIS HAIR ON THE FEEDS 24/7………ok ok ok maybe not. That’s a lot of robot hair. But I’m kinda dying to see what other people would do with it.

Me? I made a dress out of it.

Why?

Well that’s a funny story…..it goes like this. Continue reading →

Louna Preis, proprietor of the Black Coffee Jazz Club and Louna's Roadside Beach Club rocks her own style - assembling clothes that could easily fit into an ordinary outfit into something quite extraordinary.

Picture perfect memories, scattered all around the floor.
Reaching for the phone cause, I can’t fight it any more.
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind.
For me it happens all the time.

The FAUXHEMIAN Hair from [Curio] wins my hands down best hair name at this years HAIR FAIR. It made my short list of styles I HAD to have so I was pretty stoked to get it on and be a pretty girl in it.

But then, I couldn’t figure out what to wear. Continue reading →
