Reflections in the Starlight

When I first took this dress from Digit Darkes out of the box, it made me think of stars twinkling among the scudding clouds ona moonlit night. The sky is seldom black when the moon and clouds are out, clear nights give you black skies, but those cloudy nights the sky can be the color of pewter. So, I designed to shoot this dress in the clouds – which is the material Digit must have used to spin this dress – it floats like a cloud.

I do love Peacocks

The best treasure I found at Sari’s treasure hunt was a little top I bought for a mere 45L. You can see it in the photo. It’s called Diving Peacock – and you should know I find peacock deisgns irresistable. But what to wear with it?  Actually, yesterday i saw this adorable ruched high waisted skirt in teal at Little Rebel, but my dilemma was a few days ago. All my system skirts left about an inch of bare belly which is just too informal for the look I wanted.

Drat That ARC!

So the designing mastermind Sissie Pessoa has a fashion show yesterday @ 1 PM SLT. I planned to go and when I checked the notice, I saw there was a dress code requiring black. So I started dressing and I thought to myself, “Self, you really should lower your ARC, that hair is 2000 all by itself.”  So I took off my hair and set to dressing to lower my ARC (not to 1, this wasn’t a challenge) to below 200.  After a little trying on of different styles, I chose the Cake hair style which was low in ARC.

Ode to the Monarch Butterfly

Monarch butterflies are beautiful and amazing. It astonishes me that those small, tissue-paper thin leaves can carry them across the ocean, but they can and they manage to migrate 3000 miles fluttering those tiny wings. Of course, if you have ever chased a butterfly, you know those wings can really move.

Ode is a place for chasing butterflies, catch one and you might get a piece of jewelry by Random Calliope. I have been chasing butterflies, but i went there today to chase photos – specifically, I wanted to wear this stunning Azazello dress from Vindi Vindaloo – an homage to the monarch butterfly.

Treasures Found

I only spent a few minutes at Sari’s treasure hunt looking for the big balls of yarn, but was thrilled with my find – a lovely Indian print outfit featuring this blouse with a different  skirt. After I put it on, I felt like exploring and went to ShowCase, the new search feature that replaces the Most Popular Places tab. It’s a great feature and has lead me to new places like the balloon ride – which crosses something like 20 sims and takes 30 minutes. Continue reading

Peppermint Blue One Year Anniversary – FREE GIFT!

Posted by Gidge Uriza

Once Upon a Time at the Vicious Mall – I sent out a group IM for models. I said that the first 10 girls to respond would get to be models and of course keep the clothes. Alice07 Barzane responded, and despite her little English and my zero Japanese, we had a splendid afternoon taking pictures of clothes that would be for sale at Vicious Fairy. Continue reading

I Need A Dress That Says……

posted by Gidge Uriza

(just an author’s note – all sentiments listed below are actually one year old – they were the motivation for the dress’s purchase)

  • I am no longer to be considered trivial
  • I am not extra, I am part of the crew – as a matter of fact, I do more than you
  • Your boyfriend asked me to be his date for the grand opening of his club
  • He asked me because you are out of town, but it’s a real date
  • I am competing with you
  • Pay attention, because here I am, and I’m not leaving
  • I am powerful, I am beautiful and if you are bad to me, I will rock your world

What sort of dress expresses so much power and fashion? What sort of dress REALLY puts you out there….so that you CANNOT be ignored?

I thought this one did. Continue reading

Working At The Carwash!

Posted by Gidge Uriza

I’d had a full day of shopping and hard work looking for fashion goodies(I had been searching for shoes, I need fall shoes darnit), when Cajsa drug me off to wash her car! Geeez!

Ok, kidding – but she thought I looked like a tough girl in this outfit and thought the Car Wash was the perfect place to shoot it.  I got this super fun tough girly outfit from Indi and I picked it up on a hunt that Freestyle covered. I only own three things by Indi, all of which I got on the hunt and I feel a little guilty about that, because I just love all three items.

The delish thing about this outfit, is that it came with oodles of layers – including this hot lingerie layer……

Celebration

I love Innovations, with a capital or a lower case I. DG Innovations has long been a favorite store since I first discovered it last year looking for a ball gown for Christmas. It’s well named as the fashions range far and wide in inspiration but stay close to home and consistent in quality.  I wasn’t looking or needing anything new when I dropped by Innovations yesterday – not at all – but then I saw this and all was lost.

And then there was Yodeling Elaine – the Queen of the air

Aerial Assault at the Carnival of Doom

We put up our tent on a dark
Green knoll, outside of town by
The train tracks and a seagull dump
Topping the bill was Horse Face Ethel
And her ‘Marvellous Pigs In Satin’

We pounded our stakes in the ground
All powder brown
And the branches spread like scary
Fingers reaching
We were in a pasture outside Kankakee
