Five of these designers will release a special item for MSB Shoppers each month Oct – Nov – Dec around the 15th of each month. You must rejoin the group each month as a shopper for a group fee of 300L.
As I’m sure you know, the Cinema event opens tomorrow, and I hope you’re excited as I am!
The build for Cinema is probably the best I’ve ever seen, and you can grab the goodies above for free!
Just for a little sneak peek, I wanted to highlight some of the “casual wear” items I snagged. (Stay tuned for others in another post!)
First up is this layered sweater/shirt combo from Auxiliary. I’m really loving plaid shirts for fall, and for Cinema you can get this one with a creepy zombie scene on the sweater!
Auxiliary also released special Cinema versions of the cute Bunneh Hoodies currently at Collabor88. These Cinema hoodies come in a variety of shades and have sugar skull bunnies on the front. Love!
Next up is this outfit from Pink Outfitters. The shirt and pants come with both clean and bloody versions (clean shown here, obviously). I love good wardrobe staples like this, and I’ll be pairing these jeans with boots for Fall! (And…oops, my eyes are closed here.)
Last but not least, check out these chevron jeans from Evolve. I’m a little obsessed with chevron prints, and I love the muted multi-tones on these. I don’t have any other printed jeans in my inventory, so these are a welcome addition!
Count your lindens, throw on your no-lag event clothes, and get ready to click “teleport” – Cinema is coming!

I don’t know which opening move Aikea Rieko is commemorating with her Gambit dress, but it must be a colorful one.
I love the many iterations of this Gambit dress from The Plastik for FaMESHed and there is one in the tradition black and white colors of chess, so the name makes perfect sense. But for me, I am drawn to the wild, hallucinogenic prints like this one and the one that Acha wore the other day. But then, I have never had the patience for chess.
I wonder if Diane von Fursternberg knew, back in 1972 when she introduced her wrap dress, that it would completely conquer the world. This Kennedy dress from Rebel Hope shows us why. It’s a model of simplicity, free of embellishments. Its lines are clean and spare with no added darts and pleats for structure, its shape formed by its easy embrace of the body. Its color gives it a dash of the casual while its fluidity and side wrapped bodice add a touch of cleavage and sex appeal. It may have come into being in 1972, but its organic shape made it an instant classic. It’s one of the fabulous mesh pieces you can find at this month’s FaMESHed showcase.
I realized after I edited that this pose looks like I’m about to have a shootout.
This town ain’t big enough for the both of us, pardner.
Fitting as I chose the western pattern of leggings to wear from Baiastice for this shoot. She just released beautiful leggings in a variety of colors and patterns. I was feeling fall colors when I got dressed though, and chose shades to reflect that. Continue reading
It’s one of those weeks where it feels like the entire world is making me wait for stuff (important stuff, life or death stuff). Bureaucracy marches on like the automaton it is. Still, I feel very, very free in this dress, in these shoes, in these woods. And that’s always been the beauty of SL to me.

Today I am wearing Curio’s Chic New Wave skin. You still cannot buy this lovely youthful skin because the legal case is continuing to work its way through the system. Someone once said that justice is like a train that is always late. While the “court of the internet” may have adjudicated this case, the court of law moves more slowly and months will pass in discovery and depositions and waiting to be scheduled into court calendars and the wheels will grind slowly.
But the wheels of Second Life spin faster. Stores that close are soon forgotten, buried in an alluvial plane created by the flood of new stores, new designers and new releases. The relentless flow of the new, new, new can overwhelm stores that are able to engage in SL commerce, so imagine how that will affect a store that has closed. If you search for Curio and SL, you don’t find Gala Phoenix’s beautiful skins, you find stories about the legal case.
So, I have a challenge, or perhaps a better term is a pledge. I pledge to wear and blog Curio skins at least twice a month, even though my readers cannot buy them right now. It’s not a lot, but if other bloggers who like the brand and have the skins can also take part, perhaps we can help combat the flood of forgetfulness, each post a little sandbag against the flood of time.
Of course, we all blog with varying frequency, so some may pledge more and some may pledge less, but I hope that those who can, will take this pledge. I would love to google Curio and SL and see pretty pictures and fun fashion posts again.
Today, after heading over to PXL to join the VIP group. I wandered up into the special VIP only sale room and saw a GACHA vendor for PXL skins. I’m a sucker for GACHA… guess that’s why they call them GACHA… This skin is the RARE GAIA Vintage skin for only $99 L. So, of course I had to create a look for today, just for the skin. Isn’t it just gorgeous!?!
more after the cut….

While sculpts have given way to mesh in Second Life®, in first life fashion, sculpting is all the rage. Structured dresses made with polished linen blends are sculpted with angled darts and pleats to give us classic shapes with dynamic and exciting details. This new dress from Molichino for the October FaMESHed showcase is a perfect example of the structured dresses that have been taking over the runways of the world.
