In Dreams

posted by Gidge Uriza

So you may not know this, but I never delete anything. If you’ve sent it to me, I’ve got it (unless you sent it via subscribo or deliverator and I was capped).

Ok that is a partial lie, I did delete my Okina prim vajayjay that a mommyblogger friend bought me on like day two on The Grid. It was hideous, freaky, and despite being good for gags like making it pee in the middle of rooms suddenly, I really didn’t need it. (ok sometimes that might be fun to have back – /me considers all the places I could suddenly pee on the floor).  I also on occasion delete things which are too hideous to contemplate further,but this is rare.

But I digress………..

This is valid information because it’s how I arived at today’s outfit. Digging through my inventory going “Hmmm, what haven’t I worn?” I found a box from DREAMS – from my friend Sanura Snowpaw. I pulled it out and tried on everything and ended up leaving on the corset top and the collar……I was gonna be  a neko girl for fun but then I found this cart item at the photo studio and it didn’t work. Mebbe next time! Continue reading

Seduced by Gold

This amazing lace gown from Entre Mares is a seductive arrangement of lace and lace and more lace. From the sheer and open lace of hte bodice to the wildly gathered lace of the sleeve to the thick heavy lace of the skirt panels, this dress is lace with all the seductive sensuality of lace and skin in overdrive.

Masai Collaboration

Clio Cardiff, Bronco Graves and Hart Larsson have collaborated to create a fabulous avatar complete with skin, clothing and jewelry that is expected to be released today. The striking Efe skin with the Masai tattoo will be a group gift at PXL Creations and the other items will also be on sale there as well as the Efe skin without makeup. I don’t belong to lots of store groups in-world, but PXL Creations is one of them. Not only do members get a 10% discount at the store, but a few times a year there are lovely surprises like this gift skin.

The Maasai Outfit from Clio’s Pret-a-Porter is full of all sorts of win – from the fabulous linen fabric, the many options for the top to the bold coloring – a hallmark of her designs.

Come Dancing

Come dancing,
That’s how they did it when I was just a kid,
And when they said come dancing,
My sister always did.

Is there a happier melody in music than the jubilant “Come Dancing” by the Kinks? The song lyrics are a just a little bittersweet, but the melody is pure joy. Can anyone sit listening to that song without moving to the beat – whether just tapping toes or standing up and dancing? It seems like a great song for these great separates from Baiastice that are perfect for a night of dancing.

Ethereal Fangitude

I always have the best time styling Blueblood releases. I probably take longer on them than almost anyone, because I am always trying to Barbie-doll them to be ironic or step out of my pink Mattel box and take them in a different direction than my comfort zone requires.

Just as I can rave about how Sascha Frangilli gives me oodles of options in my ballgowns (just see previous posts from me AND Cajsa- raving is aplenty) Ghanima Uriza (my favorite Uriza cousin)rocks my world as far as styling options for her releases. I’d be hard pressed to really shoot them all.

Yes. I Bite.

In Which I Match the Dance Floor

Gidge’s husband Silo had his Rez Day party on Saturday. Since I was DJ’ing, I went over early to put out a couple dance balls and noticed that Gidge had put out a psychedelic dance floor that reminded me of a new dress I got at Baiastice. Suddenly, I knew I just had to wear that dress that matched the dance floor – and so, here it is – the Yoyce Dress from Baiastice.

This Post Lacks Ninjas and Tigers -But Has Makeup #13

posted by Gidge Uriza

All videos in the 80s needed fog, wind, outrageous and bold face makeup (even on the boys), big tall hair that would stand up and NOT sway in the wind (thank you AquaNet) and if you were REALLY putting effort into your production – NINJAS AND TIGERS.

(Point of reference – Total Eclipse of the Heart Video, I promise, You Tube It.) Continue reading

Formally Baiastice

posted by Gidge Uriza

It’s no secret that on many occasions Cajsa and I share a brain.  Often, with no communication for a day or two, we’ll hit publish at the same time. Now I admit, when I saw she’d put up her gown from Sascha’s Designs – I already had mine in queue to publish next and thought it was funny.

But clearly, our brains are still attached because I had Baiastice queue up to publish today, and when I finally sat down at the PC what do I find on her post?

Baiastice.

Great minds…… Continue reading

Casually Baiastice

Sissy Pessoa released her spring casual collection last week and it is as stunning and full of fun and innovation as her couture collection that she released last month. Much of her collection is made up of separates like this blouse and skirt – that can be mixed and matched as you please. In fact, these two were not placed or styled together in the store layout, but I liked the monochrome feeling they create together.  The highlight is the highwaisted skirt named Didge. It is full of the special Baiastice attention to detail that sets it apart. For example, there are three prims, not one, for the skirt. One for each leg and one for the upper tier of the skirt. This makes the skirt look great when you walk and dance and move aroun and keeps it from having that funky sculpty incongruous movement. Other great detailing is the flashes of cream edging peeping out at the bottom and the fitted to perfection belt. It comes in several colors and can be the foundation for countless looks.

It's Black, It's White……

posted by Gidge Uriza

Ok so just like Cajsa said below……..the options that Sascha Frangilli gives us in each item we buy from her are staggering, release after release.  As a blogger, I spend more time figuring out which pieces to wear, how to wear them together – or whether to just shoot them ALL than actually shooting.

I admit it, though – it’s kinda fun.

The flexibility with the variety of styles of skirts offered, two pair of gloves, a bolero jacket option etc means that although Cajsa and I each blogged this today, neither of us are sporting it exactly the same way which I really like. 

This is a gorgeous spring outfit in either black or white – and as I look at the hat I’m reminded that the Kentucky Derby is coming up……..girls got your Derby Hats ready yet?
