Bright Lights, Big City

Sadly I could never finish the book Bright Lights, Big City even though I generally like Jay McInerny. Something about reading an entire book in the second person is just too daunting. Still, the jacket from Chantkare is called Brite Lite which made me think of the novel…and then this pose is such a “model” pose that it also made me think of how the main character would look at mannequins in shop windows and imagine they were his wife.  Blog post titles are so hard to come up iwth sometimes and the tenuous connections that create them can be bizarre.  Not bizarre, however, is the Brite Lite tweed jacket.  It’s marvelous and makes me think of Chanel.  I love jackets and this one is just so well structured.

Belly-dancing at Zaara's

So I went to Zaara’s new sim tonight, eager to see what someone with her eye for texture detail, depth and love of warm, vibrant colors would do with an entire sim to play with. Oh my! Please give her more sims to decorate. It’s beautiful and vibrant and lively and I had fun exploring… and dancing in the dance hall across from the main store. Just click on the carpet and you will be dancing as well as Salome.

The Velvet

Every Sunday afternoon finds me at the Velvet – the marvelous indie music club on the Downtown sim.  The Velvet is a favorite club for many reasons, not least that there are no gesture addicts there. People actually have conversations with each other so it’s not silenced by IM private chat either.  By and large, people are generally pleasant and friendly though a few are self-proclaimed music snobs. There’s a lot of music conversation and folks have a good time. There’s no dress code and people generally come as they are. This is what I wore this Sunday while dancing the afternoon away.

Running Round the Metaverse

So I spent a portion of the weekend running around, going shopping, going to sims, checking my landmarks thinking I would clean them up. I had big plans for the weekend in terms of getting my inventory under control (did not happen) but I did check out and delete some landmarks – mourning the loss of some wonderful sims and art installations lost in the whole openspaces change.  When I hop around from place to place, I like some comfortable clothes like these that make me feel ready for anything.

Shopping in Osaka

So I went shopping in Osaka. I actually went there to see if Akeyo had made new dances. The answer to that is no. Then I poppped across the street to see what Rebel Xtravaganza was up to and the next thing I knew I was checking out the adorable little shopping complex iwth the bridges and ladders over the river.  That’s where I found this hair and hat combo, the skirt and the top and some other stuff, but I can’t wear everything at once.  Now, one time when I went to Spain, I did put on three pairs of slacks and 4 shirts because I could not close my suitcase, but other than emergencies like that, it would just be silly.

Orange Crush – Or Rha!Rha! For System Skirts!

posted by Gidge Uriza

My shopping day started with a temper tantrum, which was unwarranted but I am prone to them In World. I was putzing around Diversity Hair – when I spied Aleri’s sign “Free Skins to Avatars Under 30 Days Old.” This was not the cause of my tantrum. No the cause was that the picture with this sign was of some bomb-ass hair that I couldn’t understand WHY I didn’t own. I mean, I don’t own ALL of her hair, but I don’t miss a release lately……not in months. And no way would I have missed such a swishy girly look as this. Continue reading

I've Got It All Wrapped Up

Silly puns! I love them. Of course, this dress really is too beautiful for puns, isn’t it? I love the rich silk brocade with the ancient Chinese prints inspired by old painted vases and silk screens. Even without that glorious bow adornment, this dress is a sophisticated homage to the ancient silks of China, but that bow…oh yes, that bow. Don’t you just love how it angles so it frames the face and draws your eye to the neck?

UnDress(ed) at the Beach

posted by Gidge Uriza

I’ve been looking for something to wear with this bikini from Vogel and the launch of the UnDress skins from Digit Darkes was just the excuse I needed to head down the the beach. Everyone knows the true test of an exceptional skin is how it looks nekkid.

Ok this one is just lovely. But this isn’t THAT kind of blog.

So the next best thing has to be to lay it out CLOSE to naked in a beautiful bikini and see how she looks, eh? The rocks hurt my butt, by the way. Continue reading
