Sometimes you don’t want to look elegant, you just want to look hawt! This little mini dress from EXiA will certainly accomplish that.
Hawt Christmas!

Think of All The FUN I've Missed!

Think of All the Fellas That I HAVEN’T Kissed!
– Santa Baby
This festive sweater from Khush is a great Christmas gift that I’ve unwittingly used to continue our red and black theme! Great minds think alike, I suspect. This is just a quickie tonight as I’m busy busy but wanted to show you this fun piece from a creator that is relatively new to me.
Rouge et Noir
The colors of Modern Gypsy’s new winter collection are red, black and white. They are such powerful colors – passionate and bold and perfect, of course, for the strong patterns and shapes of these designs. I confess to absolute infatuation. This dress is particularly entrancing. It’s a beautiful and elegant cocktail gown – yet the top layer of the skirt fabric makes me think of light reflecting on a roadway. The way the white seems to glitter out of focus like the lights reflected on a wet street. So much beauty – and yet evoking such a gritty image.

Not Too Shabby
Hybrid Ansar of Not Too Shabby did not know that I just selected a trove of red and black dresses from Modern Gypsy when she gave me this lovely prefab loft for Christmas. But seriously, if she had been reading my mind, she could not have chosen more perfectly. Small lofts like this often make great photo sets, but this one stands out for it’s brilliance as a piece of art. It made me feel so very high concept that I had to pull out my DARE poses – the most high concept poses in Second Life and get all arty with some of the Robert Longo poses and other poses from seminal photographers.
Office Christmas Party
For an office holiday party, I think the best strategy is wearing something that is appropriate for any time, and making it seasonal with accessories. That’s why this lovely plaid jacket and skirt from Modern Gypsy strikes me as the perfect holiday party outfit. It’s got the holiday colors, but is not too bang-pow-Christmas-in-your-face. Where I work less than half the staff celebrates Christmas as part of their religion. If we had a party for all our staff religious holidays from Eid to Diwali to Yom Kippur to Vesak and so on – well, we would have a lot of parties. So, we don’t have a party – just leave early for happy hour one day. This works for happy hour too. I love how this is so professional, yet so exuberant.

Well, I do have the dress anyway. Another beautiful ballgown from Sascha’s Designs made to fill our Barbie Doll hearts with glee. I had to have this deep aubergine color for a holiday evening. Continue reading
A Date with Frosty the Snowman
Well, not really, but if I did have a date with Frosty, I could not go wrong with this amazing gown from MiaMai. The gown is called Ever East and is a sinuous sexy shimmer of a gown that sleekly slides along your form. With a higher than thou side slit, it’s a perfect reveal of the fantastic Ice Queen skin from PXL Creations. A special holiday gift makeup for the fabulous July skin, this skin has delicate tracery tattooing on the legs, back, bodice and arms.
Big & Bold:Red & Black
So Modern Gypsy designer Micah Kanto invited me over to see the new store and new Winter collection and I just fell in love with nearly everything! When I walked into the room with the Winter 2010 Collection, I went on point like a hunting dog and said one word: Red! Of course, the collection is more than red, there’s black and white and it’s full of strong graphic textures and bold prints like this larger than life houndstooth print in this gorgeous Humble Heiress dress from the collection.
I took a quick snap so you can see how strong an impression this cohesive collection makes as a whole. It’s really an amazing piece of work and tells a real story. Nina and Michael would definite judge it a winner.
