Learning to Knit

When I trotted out the Learning Suit from Paper Couture yesterday, I said the top would be wonderfully useful for other outfits because it has such a rich beautiful texture. Here’s a sample. The boat neck of the Learning Suit shirt works beautifully with this cowl neck sweater I got at the huge Celestial Studios sale. Now I knew I just had to find a perfect little skirt to go with.

So You Need THE Dress….

posted by Gidge Uriza

Someone on the Vain Group IM the other night called out “HELP! I need the dress!” A few thought she needed a wedding dress.

But I knew. She wanted the dress. A dress of power.  A show stopper.  Her exact request had something to do with making his pants fall down around his ankles – but you get the point.

Luckily I knew where to find one. Continue reading

And now for something completely different…

Fooled you! Yes, it’s more from Paper Couture, but do I get creativity points for wearing their menswear? I know quality menswear is rare and probably should let men keep the good stuff to themselves when it comes along, but I love this suit. Look at the wonderful jacket and collar. It’s just so lush and the fabric is that perfect steel color that makes you think it’s blue, purple, brown, gold as the light moves over it. It’s that rich.  Incidentally, without the jacket and the prim pieces, the white brocade shirt is a beautiful widenecked shell that can be a marvelous foundation for layering. I am sure you will be seeing that out and about soon.

Milkweed

Continuing my love affair with Paper Couture, I put on their magnificent Puntino dress. Like the rest of their collection of avarian inspired clothes, it is a feathery confection. However, I think the feather remind me of a beautiful delicate and enduring milkweed pod. Whether their natural inspiration came from birds or weeds, they spun it into this dream of a dress.

Not Your Typical Skin Flick

posted by Gidge Uriza

I’ve discovered a new shop to love, thanks to this excellent review pack I was sent from Skin Ficks. My first instinct was, upon hearing the name, that the clothes would be of the SL Hooker-Blingtard variety and I’d throw them out.

I couldn’t have been more wrong. Continue reading

Tickled Pink

Am I tickled pink? Well, yes, I am. MDR Photo Studio has moved to its own sim and is open for business at the new location on Amelia Isle, though we are changing the name to MDR. I have been scrambling this weekend to move all the equipment and get set up as much as possible. So…color me tickled…PINK.

And a tickled pink woman needs to wear PINK. Not just pink, but PINK! So…

Talk To Me, Goose

posted by Gidge Uriza

I’ve finally re-emerged from the ranks of the drug induced exhaustion + carpal tunnel that has pretty much kept me away from the keyboard except when at work.

I love it when a doctor prescribes me something and then says, “This is going to make you unbelievably exhausted. It really induces a strong sense of fatigue.”

Why, lovely…….do you have anything that makes me feel fat and ugly and we can just call it depression in a bottle?

LUCKILY I have a pixel world when I can escape these doldrums…….and I get some great opportunities to show you some fun pieces for the having. This set is really all built around this skin.  You see, because Cajsa is EVIL  my good friend she took me to Symphony to check out their skins.

Sigh…..I barely knew where to start. Continue reading
