So I had to get a tan. Continue reading

Just Dance, Gonna Be Okay…..
posted by Gidge Uriza
Having these Lady Gaga inspired shades dropped on me by Emo Biedermans was just the push I needed to get over to Little Heavan and pick up their hair I’ve been coveting forever.
I had just gotten my look together when I got invited to a party for the grand re-opening of Myth so Cajsa and I popped over there, in fact to JUST DANCE. Continue reading
Sunday Morning Coming Down
Morning @ Embryo - wearing Icing's Vixen in Sapphire.
Rolling Stone, my favorite magazine, gave 14 pages of its latest issue to a profile of one of my favorite singer-songwriters, Kris Kristofferson who is most famous for such great songs as Me & Bobby McGee and Help Me Make It Through the Night. My favorite, though, has always been Sunday Morning Coming Down. In his article, actor-turned-journalist Ethan Hawke, described how when Johnny Cash was first supposed to sing this song on live TV, censors told him he could not say “wishing I was stoned” but that while on the air, he looked at Kristofferson and sang it the way it was written. That song seemd to fit the mood of my shoot at Embryo where I wore the lovely Vixen dress from Icing. I have to thank Bhaio Shan for sending me the landmark – it’s a lovely place, though “it makes a body feel alone.”
On the Sunday morning sidewalk,
Wishing, Lord, that I was stoned.
‘Cos there’s something in a Sunday,
Makes a body feel alone.
And there’s nothin’ short of dyin’,
Half as lonesome as the sound,
On the sleepin’ city sidewalks:
Sunday mornin’ comin’ down.
Fabulous Fashion TV – It's Fabulous!
posted by Gidge Uriza
I spent a ridiculous amount of time agonizing over what to wear during my 8 minutes of fame on Fabulous Fashion TV. In addition to being unbelievably disorganized, confused and tardy during the entire process – I was nervous.
Unbelievably so.
I ended up wearing PXL Creations Nails instead of these Black Nails
Here is the kind of paranoid crap that ran through my mind.
- Who should I wear?
- Will someone be insulted if I DON’T wear them?
- Should I wear what I’m talking about or not?
- What sort of look should I go for?
- Should I go for any look at all?
- Would Would Joan Jett Do?
So all this aside, I decided to embrace the stylists credo (after all I was the guest stylist although I wasn’t doing Angie Mornington’s hair) and wear all black. They do this to minimize their own fabulousness and to make it all about YOU – if you’ve ever wondered why some do that. Really upscale places tend to (or neutral colors). Continue reading
Take My Breath Away
Evangeline Miles makes some of the most beautiful gowns in Second Life® - in fact, she should include an oxygen tank with every dress package because her gowns are always breath-taking. The most stunning, I think, is this one, the Imperial Moon gown - a gown so lovely I have bought it twice.
Watching every motion in my foolish lover’s game
On this endless ocean finally lovers know no shame
Turning and returning to some secret place inside
Watching in slow motion as you turn around and say
Take my breath away
Take my breath away
On the Line
Ah, that’s just a silly title solely drummed up because the name of the dress is Line. There’s really nothing on the line in this post other than hoping you like the dress and the styling. The name comes from the name of the dress – line. Yes, line, not stripe. Of course, On the Stripe makes no sense whatever, so small mercies. I really liked this dress the instant I saw it. I love the texturing done on the bodice and the justaposition of cream, pumpkin and mango orange.
I Still Haven't Found What I Am Looking For
So a week ago or so, I saw a woman with fabulous medium length hair that she said she got at Analog Dog. I have gone looking several times now and I still haven’t found what I am looking for, but I did find this fab hairstyle that I fell in love with. I still want to find the other, but isn’t it fun to find something you love while looking for something else?
Musically Inclined
I cannot claim to be musically inclined although I come from a musical family. My father played banjo and sang in a Swedish folk band and on my mother’s side there are generations of professional musicians from opera singers to Grand Ole Opry stars. And I cannot carry a tune. It’s so unfair. Still, I love music and enjoy it in all its manifestations. Moxie Polano’s Piano dress is certainly a celebration of music – an extravagant celebration from the curving piano keys to the tiny little notes embellishing the shoulder.
Casual Friday +Plus SPORK!
posted by Gidge Uriza
So what’s fun about plurk is that you get to talk to all sorts of people throughout SL that you might never meet otherwise. And you get a chance to talk to creators a lot and if you get REALLY lucky somethings they throw out a “Hey Who Wants to check this out” kinds plurk and you can go ME ME ME ME! and pick up something cool – often before it’s release.
But mostly what’s fun is just the random banter, and the chatter of a group of voices who are becoming friendsd. Who kid and tease and joke with one another.
Which is how I got this outfit. Continue reading
SLink Sexy for Thursday Night
posted by Gidge Uriza
So I had never been to SLink till Cajsa bought me prim feet the other day. But I was enamored by her monochromatic styles and the rich, jewel tones of her textures.
Consequently I had to go back. My friend QXI Gears was having an art exhibit (which I did not make SHAKES FIST AT RL!!!) but I wanted something slinky and sexy as QXI does erotic art (which will make your head explode, your eyes pop out and turn you on in ways which disturb you).
So, I decided pairing up a couple of my new pieces from SLink would exactly fit the bill.
So were you like me, and went to ETD and bought every flippin hairstyle she made since god was a boy – back when she had her big sale? And are you like me now buying every damn thing you see that is new? I found this – and forgot I had it. I thought it was kind of a fun and messy ‘do for the look.
Maybe a little JBF? Continue reading
