There are four colors that are universally flattering and one of them is this gorgeous peachy coral color. You simply cannot look bad in it no matter what you do. Here you see it in a fun little dress with a huge and extravagant collar. It’s from Clotheshorse and is called Aldina. I love its peachy punch of color and think the shoulder prim is one of the best examples of that type of collar I have seen.
Damn, that last post of Gidge’s was pure genius and it’s hard to post anything after that, but here goes something that will not be funny or witty, but becuase the dress is so clever, it will be worth your while. Don’t you just love it when designers make their outfits tintable – so your color choice is limited only by your personal taste? That’s what Polina Kaestner did with her corseted dress. The original out of the box look is a white dress with a spice corset – but I tinted the dress to an almost nude peach and the corset to a lovely rosy salmon.
Then I did it in blue. Now to get these colors, I did corset in a color I liked and dragged the color into one of the white squares to save it. Then I opened a dress piece and colored it the same as the corset and then lightened – upping luminescence by 20 points – so they are different shades of the same color.Incidentally, this corset is made for mixing and matching with other outfits.

I don’t really know how I got here. I’m not sure how this evening got so out of hand. Maybe it’s just too many nights in a row partying at SEVEN or maybe it’s just that I’m jaded and sardonic and just needed a nice thrill to eeek up my sense of well being.
I certainly didn’t intend to end my evening, awaiting sunrise with a pile of cocaine and a bloodied baseball bat on my desk. Sigh – why do they fight back? You can’t hurt me with a baseball bat. All you do is leave me a mess to clean up after I’ve disposed of your corpse.
All that being said, I still don’t know how I ended up in such bad shape at the end of my night. The day started out normally enough……..(start flashback sequence NOW)………. Continue reading
I am wearing a whole lot of things I like. I’ve had almost a whole pot of coffee, the sun in shining and I’m in this really fantastic mood today. TANGENT WARNING! I am bound to head off on several today. But let’s start with the hair.
Being a certified hair fiend (card carrying) I was completely distraught when Gogo brought to my attention ANOTHER flippin hair store that I was going to like. Seriously. Stop the madness. Between the production of the creators I already patronize and the new stores I’m being introduced to – well – there is no hope for my bank account. Continue reading
Now if Dolly Parton had been wearing this she never would have had to write, “Jolene, Jolene, I’m begging you please don’t take my man.” Of course, this is named Jolene, probably because that’s what she was wearing, though I cannot imagine Dolly in granny pants, can you? There’s a lingerie party at MDR tonight with DJ Ashleigh Dickens – and Ashleigh is a fun DJ. I am thinking I will be wearing Jolene – though I promise not to take your man even though with this lingerie, Dolly Parton says I can.
Over the lingerie, the super sexy Clingy Satin dress from Viva La Glam. Yes, they’re back and I immediately went to see if they were as wonderful as I remembered. Nostalgia has that effect, you know. As you can see, they are as good as ever. Now let’s cross our fingers and hope they bring back the metallic tights so I don’t have to feel guilty every time I blog them.
Have you ever been to Donna Flora? If you have, you will understand what I mean when I say going to Donna Flora is like that Lays Potato Chip commercial that says “No one can eat just one.” It’s near impossible to walk into Donna Flora and leave with just one item – because there’s so much, it’s so good and there’s such variety. From hair, to jewelry, shoes to dresses, from retro to avant garde, basics to high fashion – you will find it there in plenty. So I am not going to challenge you to “eat just one” but to let us all know how many items get added to your wish list.
This Donna Flora dress is called Carla and comes with a beautiful prim spray of flowers and a ruffled prim skirt – all on one attachment point. This may require editing a few pieces separately, but it’s worth it for such a unique look.
Miffyhoi Rosca of Zenith is one of my longest-known really good friends in Second Life. For fear of showing favoritism, I think I might end up blogging her clothing less than other designers – it’s been over two months since I showed you anything from her. However, when I was cleaning and sorting inventory and put this outfit on, I had to show you. It’s just so chic and sort of reminds me of a coupld of my idols, Marlene Dietrich and Katherine Hepburn, two women who showed just how sexy women can look in men’s clothing.

I am a little bad, I admit, in not getting around to posting any sort of Michael Jackson tribute until now. However, I only just decided to do this when I found the King of Pop pose set at 5ifth Order poses. I only picked up three of the 10 poses – though the entire set was tempting. Actually, the animator has a lovely tableua set up with pose balls that is just itching for a group to go jump on the pose balls and do a great group shot in all the poses. There’s fog, rocks, lights – very King of Pop! Just as is this outfit I pulled together from Bare Rose, LeeZu and Milk Motion.
While wandering around the shops outside Alexander Biedermann’s hair shop, I spotted this dress at G&G Designs. It really stood out because most of the clothes were emo fashions. There among the ripped, torn, shredded black, black and more black, there was this little fish out of water. A cheery, 4th of July and Apple Pie sort of outfit with red and white gingham and denim. I could not resist and took off for one of AM Radio’s meditations on space and the prairie to shoot a few picks using Reel Expression’s rail fence chock full of poses.
