I Didn't Get Skin…At Ray Skin

Leave a reply

posted by Gidge Uriza

It was at Ray Skin that I was Serenaded by a foreigner, crooner tunes by the PLEASUREMAN Gunther and I have to admit it was distracting. After all, despite liking an outfit, I like to sort of understand it as well. And I couldn’t concentrate on figuring this out with all the “oooo you touched my tra-la-la” going on.

I have no idea what this is.

I mean, I LIKE IT. I actually like it a lot. I like the color and the construction but like…….Retro? Vintage? Neko? Harajuku? Barbie Armegeddon? Urban Primitive? (ok not the last one) Continue reading →

Agent Provacateur

3 Replies

A friend on Plurk mentioned being a bit tired of multi-layered outfits on the feed – which given she’s from Texas makes perfect sense to me. However, living in a place that goes from chilly to steamy in the course of a day, I love me some layers. Besides, I feel an ornery streak coming on and want to tweak her nose a bit…even if she did give me at atta’girl today. What can I say, I am a provacateur.

Catch Me In the Slipstream

1 Reply

Today I am wearing clothes from some of the best design houses in Second Life – Casa del Shai, Maitreya and Tesla – and it shows.  It’s gold, babe.

Some people never recognise it
Though it’s right before their eyes
And shines in all its glory
They never ever see
They choose something that looks just like it
And it may glitter all the time
But gold it will never be
I guess you never held on to quality
Or you woulda recognised by now
Something so special so true
When it’s standing right in front of you

I’m gold babe
Catch me in the slipstream
Passing by the fools who just don’t know
Pure gold babe
You’re looking at the real thing
If you knew my worth you wouldn’t let go.

Quick Look: ICON Jewelry

I was strolling around shopping one night, trying to decide if I wanted new shoes at Juicy, trying to decide if I wanted this or that, when I wandered into ICON. Featuring jewelry in sets and bags, and other accessories, I was surprised I hadn’t found them before.  The purses are what first caught my eye and somehow I got out with one though! How’d THAT happen?

But I did get THIS! Continue reading →

One Day Only Freebie At Lemania

Red and pink have been the color of the season so I was kind of tickled to see such an icy winter blue being given away at Lemania to her group.  Like so many of her designs, it’s a fancy – there’s nothing practical about it.

Which is exactly what I like. Good grief why play on the Grid and be PRACTICAL? (note – I think this dress is being retired also based on the description on it) Continue reading →

Let Efe Rock You, Chaka Khan

I’m clearly on a Diva Kick. I told Cajsa I was dressing up as Patti LaBelle but I must’ve been LISTENING to Patti but thinking Chaka because this girl obviously sings for Rufus.

I swear to GOD I saw her in this dress on You Tube.

Who knew Chaka Khan shopped at Casa del Shai? Continue reading →

More Silly Than Naive!

I love skins that have LIPS I CAN SEE (like this one) and eyeshadow that interests me. I’m not always so into the artsy eyes, but once in a while one will catch my eye. What I like most of all, though, is make up that is interesting enough to catch your eye without being garish.

RESULT!

I am afraid that the Fashion Mafia may revoke my card if I admit this aloud – but this is indeed my FIRST skin from Adam n Eve. Continue reading →
