She's a Rocker

Poor Allison on American Idol. Why did she get trashed for her outfit? It actually had the potential for fabulous and only a few changes would have made it great, but still, it’s a singing competition, not America’s Top Model.  Actually, there were worse outfits on the stage that night and at least Allison’s dress fit her. I thought I might show how that outfit could look great – and used the lovely Saturday dress from Baiastice to show you.

There are Two Universal Truths You Must Embrace

1. There is No SEX In the Champagne Room.
2. We don’t Do Drama on It’s Only Fashion.

🙂

Seriously, I’m a meanie though, when I want to be, aren’t I?

Hope you all enjoyed Tenshi’s little joke. Or if you didn’t enjoy it, tough noogies suckaz!

(oh and for the record I’m ok with photosourcing if it’s done well but Tenshi gets her panties in a bunch about it but you know, blah blah blah that’s her deal not mine.)

My Hair Is On Fire

Well, not really, but it sure looks like it. And it certainly could be given Gidge going all drama on us! However, I will still try to keep the drama free pledge and focus on this adorable little mashup. The blouse comes from one of those excesses of goodness you get at Bare Rose – the Angela jacket. You know June would never just give you a fat pack of jackets without something extra like this fabulouse white blouse that goes under the jacket.  The skirt is made by maruko05 Aya whose store Shirohato is in Japan Village – a wonderful place for finding surprises. The skirt comes with a perfectly lovely white blouse, I just wanted to wear one that went all out with the outrageous prim collar like this gorgeous one from Bare Rose.

Photosourcing Indignation – Only When It's Not You

I have decided that 500-700 hits a day aren’t enough and I want a piece of the drama traffic as well. So, that being said, I’m going to start daily posting things which annoy the living hell out of me.

That’s right. Sit down, school is in session.

First up the crusader against content theft and nutfuckery Tenshi Vielle of Shopping Cart Disco,who has thrown under the bus Bianca Foulon and  Muism for their mutual photosourcing of a GOD AWFUL top , has apparently decided that since SHE doesn’t read any fashion blogs that none of the rest of us do……….

Hmmmm, Where Hath I Seen This Dress Before?

Seriously Tenshi, did you think that we wouldn’t notice that you lifted this STRAIGHT off of Fred Flare?   I suppose that righteous indignation is good for SCD but over on Crap Fashion it’s just all good to do whatever is fun at the moment with no moral compass?

And then to make matters worse you’ve got perfectly respectable folks SUPPORTING this hypocrisy?

Please. I’m thoroughly disgusted with the whole thing.

School’s out. You may resume your lives.

Lemania has this one available all week for free to her group. So if you have a ballgown monkey on your back, I think you should know by now that you can FEED that monkey by joining Lemania’s group and basking in the goodness she’s giving away both weekly and daily.

Run don’t walk. This one is only available until the end of the week. It’d be lovely for a special date this weekend, wouldn’t it?

The Way I Feel About You -It Just Can't Be Wrong!

posted by Gidge Uriza

I’m so fortunate that my best friend has exquisite taste and style. What that means is that I never get drug along on shopping trips where I go “Ummm, DO NOT WANT/KTHANXBY.”   Instead of going “Oooooh, Oh DO WANT! DO WANT!”

Both Modern Gypsy and Exile are places like that for me. I wouldn’t have wandered in without Cajsa and now I’m addicted to their goodness.  This short casual dress is called Desertmoon but at first I thought it said “dessert moon” and it put me in mind of  dessert cafes of my 20s. Continue reading

It was a dark and stormy night

As the April 15th deadline nears for this year’s Bulwer-Lytton contest, I thought I might encourage you to check out the web site. It’s an annual award for bad writing and by bad writing, I mean really bad writing.  I was reading the 2008 results and laughing and thought you all might enjoy a good laugh, too, so I decided to shoot this great jacket and pants from Ibizarre in a “dark and stormy night” setting.  Ibizarre had a 10L sale on everything on the second floor and not one to resist a great sale, I found myself on a mad, but inexpensive, shopping spree. The black and white print jacket is beautifully made and the striking Fitzgerald belt from Lelutka really sets it off.

A Dress To Fool A Prince

posted by Gidge Uriza

I’ve got some strict rules in my life. One of which is that when watching musicals, you are required to sing along, with gusto, any song you know.   My Fair Lady is probably one of the harder pull off as the ridiculous soprano is impossible to sing but – you get the point.

You must sing. LOUD. With Feeling.

I could’ve DAAAAAAAAAAAAAANCED ALL NIGHT…….like that. Continue reading

Let Me School You:An SL Bug PSA

See that picture above? Now really look at it. Really look at it. Do you see what is wrong? No? How about now?

Nice Uber Modern Gloves?

Nice Uber Modern Gloves?

Sooo, what’s up with these gloves? They’re a little, whacky.

My initial thought was “hmmm weird gloves” but I really like Sascha the designer and thought well, she’s doing something wonky with gloves. Whatever I’ll go with it.

Then, after seeing my original post she was horrified, and let me know this dress does NOT have gloves. Seems I’d been hit by an SL bug, but Sascha had the fix. Continue reading

Boom!let

I received a promotional copy of this adorable micro-mini from BOOM! this weekend and I loved the little buttons and the adorable belt so much that I had to blog it even though there’s no way I would wear a skirt that short in this life or real life. From the front, you don’t get to appreciate how dangerously short it is – but hey, that’s what tights are for!!
