Cajsa rousted me from my sloth by taking me to the Avenue Retail room, where the fashion houses of SL are putting for sale the items they’ve shown on the runways. As the room began to rez, directly in front of me stood a pink dream.
So I had to have it. Continue reading
The Alexis Print dress from LIV-Glam, of course. That’s not actually accurate. The thing with LIV-Glam outfits is they are usually come in a fat pack for the price of a single dress. This particular dress is at The Designers Showroom and comes with the unique LIV-Glam packaging that I love. It comes in a HUD package that you wear. First you specify the size, so you are only getting the pieces you need and not filling your inventory. But don’t worry, if you are wrong, you can ask for a different size. One you put the pieces on, you can click on the hud to change the textures for different outfits. For example, this dress comes in three striped options and three floral options. When you consider that her prices range from 99 to 275 L, you can see that you do get a fat pack of dresses for the price of one. It is important to wear the HUD, not rez it. If you rez it, you will think you have an empty box.
Today we have a new episode of The Drax Files, a magazine feature of The Velvet where I work as a DJ and some cute styles that are colorful and cheery. There’s also news about the new CHUI in Second Life®. Am I silly for reading CHUI and thinking Star Wars?
So one of my sisters has a birthday today and another has a birthday on the 11th and if you add the 4th and 11th, you get my birthday. For some reason that always seemed so significant when I was a kid. Now, not so much.
The ottoman is a pose prop from Lost Angel for Pose Fair. The shopping bags come with the ottoman.
One day baby, we’ll be old
Oh baby, we’ll be old
And think of all the stories that we could have told

One Day Reckoning by Asaf Avidan
We aren’t old yet; and there’s no reason not to tell our stories now. I think one way we tell our stories is through fashion. What we wear signifies so much about us. as we walk down the street, complete strangers can learn how daring or conventional we are, how flashy or restrained, how forward-looking or how nostalgic. Of course, that is an incomplete picture since we can wear something avant garde one day and something waiflike the next. After all, we contain multitudes.
I am feeling not so hot right now due to a RL injury. Nothing big but it’s enough for a bit of painkillers and to make me feel listless yet tired. My pixel Gidge was the same yesterday wandering around her new Haight Apartment skybox, wondering what to do with herself. Continue reading
I was going to blog a look of the day but instead I decided just to do a post about these eyes. I love eyes. My first eye love was Tacky Star (rumor has it they are gonna be back soon) then my next love was Ibanez Eyes (Annie recently closed her store-very sad), my next eye romance and still standing romance has been with IKON eyes. I love his eyes, I love how realistic they are and they just shine. I was recently thinking about who does fantasy eyes and then I ran into Vitani Jun last night and I noticed the eyes she was wearing, I LOVED them and so I asked “dude, who made those eyes?!” and Vitani told me that SHE made them…so she passed over a few folders full of fantastic fantasy eyes she has made for her store ni.ju. These rainbow colored eyes called Depth Eyes – Rainbow Swirl are my fav. They come in a large size and a small size. These are going to be a part of my eye rotation from now on…I’m always excited when I find a great eye creator!!

It’s Fashion Week, so I hope you are heading out to the runway shows. It can be dangerous, I spent nearly all my money yesterday and there are still more shows to come. But don’t forget to check out the Fast Five after the show.
Barnesworth Anubis created the Haight Apartment Skybox clearly to remind me how lovely simplicity and freeing myself from clutter can be.
It’s spring, and it’s time to slough off those dead skin cells, rid yourself of those dark winter colors and embrace the warmth of the world coming alive again. Continue reading
It is time for the AVENUE Spring/Summer Fashion Week and the floodgates have opened as one design house after another releases the their latest collections for the season. The Spring/Summer fashions focus on a breezy casual look as you can see in this design from MIAMAI that paired skinny trousers with a short floaty floral top. The scooped in shoulder gives this a new shape and a modern edge.
