I love how things just fall into place in SL sometimes. For example, I went to nostos:deer to shoot this outfit and came across a patch of dandelions and tall grass on my walk to the beach. Just last night, Tenshi Vielle sent a dandelion out to a group I am in, so it seemed like I had to stop and shoot this beautiful dandelion white dress from Lelutka there.

One of the final acts of my favorite Woody Allen movie – HANNAH AND HER SISTERS – is called LUCKY I RAN INTO YOU. It’s about two people who’ve known each other and fall in love despite the past. Making friends can be like that too.
I feel that way a lot about my best friend and blog partner, Cajsa. Continue reading
Modern Gypsy’s newest collection is full of interesting and avant garde designs. The Dovetta dress is, in my opinion, the most arresting – or the most likely to get you arrested since it doubles as a deadly weapon. In jest, I said it was a First Date dress, but then decided to explore the idea further – styling it for a First Date with an unknown quantity, giving it a hard-edged, remote styling. I added tintable leggings from Fashionably Dead and a belt from M.A.II.K.I in a bright cerise.
Luckily for this imaginary date and me, the prims detach for a more comfortable Second Date. I switched to a red belt from Lelutka and ditched the leggings.
I love the playful look of the Magnifico Plateau shoes. In particular, the blue ones with that beautiful shade of blue that reminds me of the Melmac dinnerware at my uncle’s cabin on Lake Kabetogama. I suppose associating shoes with dinnerware is a bit odd, but that dinnerware reminds me of family picnics, playing with cousins, tramping through the woods and hours of fun on the lake. Just about everyone had Melmac dinnerware at their lake cabins because that stuff was indestructible. You know, Mad Max and all the post-apocalyptic survivors may lack for a lot of niceties, but they would still have Melmac. Here I am enjoying some music while wearing a great top from Eldee and capris from artilleri.

While looking through Flickr today I spied the photostream of a fantastic Second Life artist and wanted to share this find with you all. This marvelous photo is just one of dozens of amazing works! Be sure to check out Perhaps Twine’s photostream and be amazed at what people can do.

When I saw the amazing Passage to India dress from Violator, I decided to take the expression “Birds of a feather flock together” to the extreme, adding peacock earrings and hair to the mix. I suppose I could also have added peacock shoes, but a different pair of shoes came to mind. In fact, when I saw the shoes at the Shoe Fair, I said to myself, “Self, now you can finally shoot that wild outfit from Violator!” You see, I finally have shoes wild enough to match the wild energy of the dress.
House of Hucci! I love that store name, bringing to mind Gucci and Hoochie Mama at the same time and boldly declaring that you will definitely find some hoochie at Hucci. Everytime I see the store name I smile at the wit behind the name, wit that I tangle with on plurk from time to time as Eboni Khan of House of Hucci is one of those wonderful people who can discuss politics and disagree without being disagreeable. One of the joys of plurk is lively disagreement that stays friendly. Here, though, she applying her skills to bring us a lovely, flowing summery gown that I thought deserved a fantastical and wildly surreal venue for the shoot.
I went to a list of sites recently sent to me by Hybrid Ansar who we all hope will be back in SL soon. One of the links she sent me was to Antenmaria, an amazingly beautiful fantasy world. There are these long purple strings hanging down that sound like wind chimes and glow is everywhere. I guess I could not resist the purple terrain and knew this was the site for this dress.
