What's in a name?

Juliet says, “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” Well, that’s true, certainly, as far as roses go. But if you were offered sight unseen to sniff a rose or a skunkweed, which would you choose? Names carry social and cultural cues which is why there’s so many ridiculous names of heroes in historical romance novels and why few people today name their daughter Ethel or Velma.  So, I am wondering why this sexy little mini-dress is named Clyde?  Sometimes I am curious how things get named. Perhaps it’s after the  Clyde Barrow, the romanticized bank robber of Bonnie & Clyde? Well, I don’t have to know to wear it and that which we call Clyde by any other name would look as sexy.

A 21st Century Tartan

Iota Ultsch of Tres Jolie sent out a lovely group gift for Valentine’s Day – this red tartan dress. I wore this dancing yesterday and it  was a lovely dress for dancing – the sculptie skirt being full enough that it never got wonky.It’s a see to believe kind of dress with a semi-sheer almost glassine texture that is a very contemporary almost industrial plaid. She also makes it in other colors on sale in her store. I love the way she creates textures from unusual sources. For example, her city grid dress texture is made from a photo of tire tracks on a sidewalk.

Happy Valentine's Day

I am not feeling full of the hearts and flowers sentimentality of Valentine’s Day this year, but I do recognize that it always inspires a lot of fun and creative designs and most importantly, an excuse to party. I have not been feeling too well this week so I  have not stayed online long enough to do anything more than shoot some pictures. So no partying for me, but if I had been in the mood for a party last night, I would definitely have worn this dress.

Femme and Sexy from Baiastice

posted by Gidge Uriza

The gorgeous lace bodysuit recently released from BAIASTICE has some of my favorite traits of fantastic clothes. LAYERS. TONS AND TONS OF LAYERS.  You can see I opted not to wear the bottom layer MAKING it a body suit – because I wanted to show my gorgeous tummy – but Cajsa always prefer to cover up, so see this one perfect piece fits two very different girls perfectly.

Candy Girl

posted by Gidge Uriza

Sissy Pessoa of Baiastice joins the short list of skinners who, in my opinion, create a perfect tummy.  I’m kind of a tummy snob. I don’t like too muscular – that would indicate I work out and sweat, and no – I’m too much of  princess for that. I also don’t like tummies without definition. This one strikes the perfect balance to me, a nice, soft female tummy. 🙂

I’m also wearing, you may have noticed, one of my favorite holiday outfits which is not from the usual fashion mafia source, instead it’s from a costume and novelty store – WEIRDICULOUS. It used to be called WEIRD SHIT but somebody got their panties in a wad about the name and the Lab made her change her store’s name. 

Regardless, this is one of my favorite costumers on the grid for novelty and fun gear – and back in the day when Cajsa and I were doing events on Vicious AD NAUSEUM my husband and I raided the creativity at Weirdiculous many times to find something unusual to wear.

This bikini comes with a set of hearts for the bottom, but, they don’t cover much hee hee so you’ll have to guess what they look like. They also feature a rip-away script- but mine is removed because I wore it to an event and didn’t want asshats making me naked.  It’s PRIM – keep that in mind, bcse, the boys who want to can cam about and see your goodies.

Of course, if you have this on – you probably want them to. The store also features several other bikinis with this theme – but this one is perfect for the holiday at hand.

Now – who wants a candy?

Hark! Hark!

Well, I am probably not singing at heaven’s gate, but I am wearing a heavenly dress from Lark, so I don’t mind stealing a phrase from Shakespeare. Hark, hark, the Lark dress is a great find and in a gorgeous plaid.  For added cuteness it comes with a pocket prims and  a pose hud with hands in pockets posing.

Posted by Gidge Uriza

You know the saying, EMO PEOPLE WANT TO STAB THEMSELVES, GOTH PEOPLE WANT TO STAB YOU – well after I got the latest White Goth – Sophie release from BLUEBLOOD this got me wondering. What are the White Goth’s up to? Reading Martha Stewart instead of Keats? Smoking E- Cigs instead of clove?

The Sophie dress comes in several pastel accented colors with a gorgeous white theme all over,including gloves and hose. Continue reading

I Love Rock & Roll

Oh, the Malice dress from Indyra Originals is quite the twofer. You see, you have a choice of wearing the sheer version (shown) or the opaque version. Feeling like a rocker, I went for the sheer version since it’s not too sheer and is discreet in all the right places. Putting it one, I felt like I was ready to join Joan Jett, Krissy Hynde or Patti Smith and rock out. Well, if I could only sing, that is.
