There is this really terrible movie, but it has one really memorable scene in it (one of the only that isn’t gratuitous sex), the movie is called Wild Orchid. In it, a female and a male are having this raucous affair – and the male is an old friend of the female’s boss – who is also a lady. Ok, got the set up?

The guy and the girl come to the point where they say the I <3 You and he says to her something like “I loved you from the first moment I ever saw you, wearing another woman’s dress.” Continue reading →

I could have danced all night…and I did

2 Replies

New Year’s Eve was a night for dancing and just as I always do when I dress for dancing, I thought about how the clothes would look while shimmying and shaking across the floor.  For that reason, I seldom wear system skirts for dancings as the distorted textures when you dance can so ruin the line of a dress. This also makes me wary of sculpties that flap around like broken wings on a baby bird. But flexis aren’t necessarily the solution as they can look like a tornado swirling round the floor.  Of course, we all understand the limitations of clothing and forgive our dancing foibles…but I am always on the look for a great dance dress. This lovely white Alaska dress from Kunglers is ideal.

My box of Christmas Gifts from Cajsa included gift cards to Sweetaholic.  So she says to me the other night “Have you been to Sweetaholic?” and I mumble no, really – thinking with a name like that – it’s gotta be some booboo kitty-emo-harajuku-Batz Maru kinda joint. With big puffy t-shirts.

Or something.

Yeah, I was wrong about that one. Continue reading →

My New Winter Coat

I tolk you last week how I discovered Modern Gypsy when I met Staci Bernard looking impeccably styled and gorgeous in a wonferful coat. But then I didn’t show you the coat. I am rectifying that today. This is the wonderful coat I saw and, if you will indulge the conceit and ignore attachment point limits, the dress underneath it.

Scarlet

In Jezebel, Bette Davis decides to wear a red dress to the Olympus Ball where all the men wear black and all the women wear white. If it were as brilliantly made as this dress from Sysy’s, how could she have resisted?

Of course, since film plots always punish independent and strong women, her fiance dumps her over the dress. There’s duels, plagues and death – and it all could have been avoided it she had only been obedient  and worn white. Of course, then she would not have been interesting enough for a movie, now would she?

Antarctic Dreams

Who is going to a traditional Black & White ball for New Year’s Eve?  It seems like nearly all the women dress in white – a nod to the season’s frosty weather. Many of the dresses have snowflakes and crystals to accentuate the seasonal motif. This year, though, you can have the snowflakes and stand out from the crowd in this black snowflake dress from Sascha’s Designs called Antarctica.

Back to the Winter Garden

There are five flowers in Modern Gypsy’s Winter Garden. In this picture I am wearing the Rose, another exuberant bouquet of dancing prims.

You can contrast that to the more structured architecture of Asian Lily whose exuberance is expressed through the riotous fabric texture.
