The Stars Come Out at Night (plus a thank you gift from us)

I was casting around for costume ideas last night, I got the brainstorm to go to Unique Needs. Now, I know it’s not a costume shop, it’s a clothing store for the BDSM subculture and has fashionable clothes for those shoppers. However, in my opinion, if you’re not part of a subculture and dress in the clothing of a subculture, that’s a costume. Besides, when I got there I discovered Unique Needs has a much broader range of clothing that I had assumed…including this romantic, frou-frou dress I am wearing today. Color me surprised and well, there again you see the danger of assumptions.

You just put your lips together, and blow.

So, I totally owe the title for this post to Grady Echegaray from Strange Pixels who posted the quote in flickr’s comments on this photo.  She was reminded of that hot, hot scene from the movie To Have and Have Not. This look is definitely hot sultry 1940’s – though the individual inspiration is more Burlesque than Bacall.

Cats and Bats

Leave a reply

Cats and bats go together and not just phonetically. We didn’t need Michelle Pfeiffer’s portrayal of Catwoman to know that the relationship between Batman and the arch-villainess was complicated by unwilling and unwanted attraction. So, when I decided to bring out my Catwoman costume again, I also pulled out EarthStones brilliant Desmodus jewelry set – because wouldn’t Michelle Pfeiffer’s Catwoman have worn it if she had the chance?

This dress was a group gift from Alchemy a while back, and I immediately thought BIRTHDAY PARTY DRESS! A good friend was having a birthday party in SL and it was great, I slipped it on and headed over.

Only to realize the party was over and I’d missed it.  AND NO ONE GOT TO SEE ME IN MY CUTE PARTY DRESS!

So I hung it back up in my closet nicely, thinking thast someone was going to have a birthday party eventually and I’d wear it! Who knew It’d be me?  Continue reading →

You Make Everything Groovy

The new Billow Boots from Maitreya are a delightful re-imagined reachback to the 80’s. They seemed to demand something playful and impudent to match their mood. While shooting, I kept hearing that old, old song Wild Thing, you make my heart sing. You make everything…groovy.

I had to share the latest release from Foxy Moron before I ran off to do the real life shuffle. Decked out in nebula colors – IRIS in Sunset from Foxy Moron reminded me of both flight and an elegant ball. I added the rather disheveled Wish 2 hair from Cake – and told Cajsa I was fleeing my date. 🙂 Continue reading →

You know what I said about being ware of Holiday-specific clothing that you cannot wear any other time of year?  Well, rules are meant to be broken, especially when ithe entire outfit is only 75L, made by Miffy, one of my earliest friends in Second Life and to top it all off, it’s crazy as in crazy cute.

I was standing, decked out in this sleek outfit from Kunglers when I got the call to go hunt skins at Diversity. We might never be the same. I probably looked like a suck up, showing up in Aleri’s hair and Digit’s shoes but I swear it was exactly what I was wearing! Promise! Continue reading →

So the first thing you are saying is GIDGE WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? At work, dude. At work. New job means TIRED TIRED TIRED. And I decided that since I am so chronically tired, I would show you what I want to be wearing 24/7 in RL.

I own intirely too many pajamas for a game where sleeping isn’t an activity I do. But I’m obsessed, I love to find fun, cool pajamas to wear. I’ve held impromptu pajama parties at my house, or gone to club events etc. Most recently I attended the Hair Fair pajama party the night before the fair opened. Low ARC was not on the menu that night, as you can clearly see. Continue reading →

Professor Plum in the Library with a Wrench

I could not resist taking a look round Trepid Station and must humbly confess that at one point I about jumped out of my skin. I won’t tell you where and why so you, too, can enjoy that shiver of fear without risk that makes such expeditions a delight. I was not frightened by poor Yorick there on the shelf, it was the more active ghosts that bothered me. I was a very chic explorer in the Fitzgerald dress from Cachet a bold enough green to shake the cobwebs out of the attic.
