This sweater and scarf set was right on the money, given the arctic blast that is gripping most of the U.S. I had to dress Gidge up warm, lest she catch a cold. The Lucy sweater from Sysy’s has GREAT scarf options – you can wear it around the waist cinched or around your neck – I couldn’t pick so I wore both. Continue reading

I know I’m having trouble getting back into the routine after Christmas break but……I forgot an entire shirt!
Oh no! 🙂
I wanted to show off the new leather jacket from Second Wave Apparel and just didn’t want to detract from how cute it was……..so I did opt for nothing at all. You don’t mind do you?
I’m also wearing slinky leather pants from Sn@tch and a pair of my favorite boots – The Cowboy Boots of Evil from Sn@tch…….because I was feeling very leather-riffic once I put the jacket on. Continue reading
Seriously, what else can you say when Paper Couture comes through with something so luscious, luxurious and lavish as this Black Floral Suit Gown. Shouldn’t it be the Suit to End All Suits? The Queen of Suits? The Suitastic? The Whipped Cream with a Cherry on Top Suit? If you have other name suggestions that encapsulate the utter fabulousness of this suit, please add them in comments.
Sissy Pessoa gives a group gift at the beginning of every month that is always eagerly anticipated simply because you can never guess what it could possibly be. This month it’s an adorable blue dress that is versatile for any era, perfect to pair with your favorite accessories like a statement necklace or perhaps even a stylish wristwatch. And if your wristwatch ever needs a tune-up, there are plenty of reliable watch service in the area to keep it ticking smoothly.
Because I have been highlighting so much from the 1920’s and 30’s I decided to slot this lovely freebie right into that era through choosing accessories that gave it that Bernice Bobs Her Hair look.

Do you remember the Chinese Shop without a name? They sent me that a lovely full outfit called Ting? Ok well I’ve learned to call them Frost Pavilion for now and that this is their slurl.
And when they sent me Ting they sent me this Ming the Merciless inspired Henchwoman outfit – that I absolutely went nuts over tonight, as you can probably tell. I had some time on my hands. Continue reading
She flies through the air with the greatest of ease
The daring young woman on the pose prop trapeze.
Her movements were graceful, All the guys she would please
Flying so high on the Scribble pose prop trapeze.
It’s easy to be a successful trapeze artist when Scribble goes and provides you with such a wonderful animated trapeze. And with RunoRuno’s lovely five minutes to curtain outfit, you can be graceful and gorgeous at the same time.

Well I didn’t bulesque up for the Vaudeville Party last night because I had this badass steampunk gown I’d gotten a couple of weeks ago for a party that fizzled and BY GOD I was going to wear it somewhere.
And since I couldn’t find a proper George Burns costume I figured this would do nicely for a vaudeville theme. After all – ALL Vaudeville acts weren’t T&A!
But of course as the bulesque music of the night wore on and everyone else WAS dressed in fantastic and gorgeous bulesquery……well…….I simply declared myself a Steampunk Stripper.They’ve got those – right? Continue reading
Most of the holiday parties have run their course, but Second Life has never limited parties to the holidays and formal events and clubs abound, so whenever you want to dress up, you can and you can find a place to show off your lovely gown. This one is a gorgeous gown from MiaMai with delicate silver tracery on the bodice. This is a dress that shows how sometimes less is more – the upright color poufs are there, but in control. There’s the embroidery – but just a dusting of it.
So last night was the Vaudeville/Burlesque party at The Deck and Sasy took pictures. I wore this adorable La Biche Corset Dress from Dolita, though I added a skirt to it that you can see after the cut. It’s another great find at Designers United Vaudeville.
That earthquake you felt on the grid yesterday was the re-opening of Tableau and with it the release of the newest collection from Paper Couture. This brings us to the perennial discussion about over-blogging and everyone blogging the Same Damn Thing. Of course, we settled that last year with the grand Same Damn Thing challenge, but the question still crops up. My view is that we never blog the Same Damn Thing because we all choose different accessories, shoes and hair. We look differently. We shoot different photographs. We have different readerships. And that brings us back to Paper Couture because if anything is worth a second, third or fourth glance – it’s the wonderful creations they produce – including this lovely suit called, appropriately enough, Second Glance.
