Big Bad Blogger Challenge Post #1

2 Replies

Alice Chenaux has kicked of the Big Bad Blogger Challenge and I thought why not? The first question is: How long have you been a blogger? How has it enriched your life?

I started my blog on January 1st, 2008 and posted a couple of times and then had no idea what to do, how to get someone else to read it. So it languished for a few months while I began reading the blogs more carefully and learning more about SL fashion. The real start of my blog was in April of 2008 and with Gidge and myself, we have somehow managed to post more 1100 helping of rainbow poop since then.

My life has been enriched by the new friendships I have made thanks to the blog. Not just friendships with designers, jewelers, models, stylists and bloggers, but also with readers who have commented and gone on to IM me in-world. I also have found the challenge of styling a good outfit or making a good photo shoot very fulfilling.

Inconveniently Undead

I’m a very socially active girl. You can imagine my distress when I woke up one evening FAR after my normal waking time, to discover myself among the Undead!  This was clearly going to put a crimp in my entertaining and social schedule!

Or was it? I decided right then and that I’d just have to accept Vampire as part of my new look and go about my business as normal. After all, I I have entertaining to do!

And – buffets to dust!

I find myself a bit more full of whimsy and giddy-ness since I’ve joined the Undead. Perhaps it’s simply a symptom of being Nouveau Undead and I’ll settle down with time. After all, it just doesn’t seem appropriately somber to be this exuberant AND Undead! Continue reading →

I've Got a Little List

2 Replies

However, unlike the Executioner, this is not a list of those who won’t be missed. In fact, it’s a list of stores some fellow plurkers thought have been missed. So…. list in hand I went off shopping and found some real treasures – and believe me, I will go back to those stores in the future. I used some items from that shopping trip to pull together this fun outfit including the truly magnificent plaid pants, or should I say pantz, from Nomine. I added an old blouse from Street Magic and a waistcoat that was sent to me by Ayumi back in May but that I didn’t even notice until last night – a sad reflection on the state of my inventory.

Quick Look: Maple

3 Replies

So I looking for Untone Quilt at an old SLurl, I happened on Maple where real life creations are brought into second life – and the photo of the original is shown so you can see how well the design has been translated. Honestly? I think I like the Second Life versions best.  Here are three lively and fun print blouses from Maple.

Dear Dancien – Happy Birthday

So the lip rings I’m sporting in the pic above were a hunt gift from 42 that I somehow failed to get into the last post. That being said, I figured I would give you a gander since I don’t WEAR facial piercings usually. I’m too delicate lol.

The VIP Hunt Gift from 42 sent me to their store to patronize them further, where I promptly lost my effin mind. Everything in the store is 42 lindens. How did I miss this?

I won’t say I bought everything……..

But I did pick up most of my ensemble for Dancien Graves B-day party there! Including this nutty skin which is just extraordinary and called Galaxies Nebula. I was in a very purple mood the past few days can you tell? Continue reading →

A-Bomb is The Bomb

2 Replies

When Lavea Alter dropped a folder with some newness from A-Bomb, I didn’t look right away. I had recently shown a few great outfits from A-Bomb and had a long list of to-do outfits. But then, curiosity got the better of me and I tried on this outfit called Ventura Highway and was thrilled to see that Lavea has added the shadows on the skin that clothes naturally cast – a huge step forward in design and one that very few clothiers take the trouble and effort to do. Look along the neckline, the waistline, the edges of the top – this is someone stepping it up several notches. And look at that prim ruffle, is that insanely good or what? What’s even better is the ruffle comes on the chest and the spine so you can wear it as you need it.

Rhodesy's Purple is A-Bomb

My friend Rhodesy is famed for her beautiful purple tresses. When I saw this delicious Purple MELT THE GUNS ensemble from A-Bomb I simply had to bring out some purple hair as an homage to Rho. No one wears purple hair with the style and grace she does, those some of us try. Continue reading →

Relay For Life

Leave a reply

The Relay For Life Fashion Expo is in its fifth day and having visted three times, I can attest that it’s been a pleasant and lag-free experience everytime. Excitement around this expo seems subdued and perhaps that is due to a surfeit of fashion events and celebrations. However, that should not discourage anyone from going to this event for several reasons. Foremost, there are many special creations on sale that benefit the search for cancer treatments. Secondly, many designers respond to the challenge of creating some limited edition item for sale at these expose with some of their best work. Third, you should go just to see the magnificent one-of-a-kind designs that will be auctioned off to raise even more money for cancer research.  Fourth, if you love purple – RFL is a purple fest. Now the dress I am wearing is Baiastice special edition RFL dress. The jewelry is EarthStone special RFL set. Continue reading →

Dress Me In Latin

2 Replies

When SarahtheRed Aubierre asked if any bloggers were interested in promotional copies of her newest dress I jumped at the chance. With typical laziness I have had her shop on my list but have not made it there yet. I expected to like it because the name was so smart – Vanitas Vesture. The use of the latin made me think she would be making clothes with classic shapes – and sure enough that’s exactly what this dress is.

I Can TOO Be a Ballerina!

I’m a SN@TCH Ballerina Dammit! This is just another quickie as I’m running out the door, but I was in a Pepto-Bismol pink mood any happy about it. I don’t normally think IVEY or SN@TCH when trying to satisfy my inner pink princess, but this outfit tells me that I should! Continue reading →
