Enchantment

4 Replies

Sometimes there is a dress that enchants me. It is so new, so breathtakingly fresh that I just have to play and find different ways to look at it. It makes me experiment with my photos and hunt out places to shoot and just to see what more I can do because it’s inspiring in its originality.

Gelsomina from Donna Flora is just such a dress. I could not stop shooting pictures and have quite the collection on Flickr. First there’s the exuberant combination of lustrous gold in the underskirt, with layers of net, tulle, charmeus and silk ombre. Add the magnolias scattered over the dress and the hairdo that would make Madame Pompadour green with envy and you have a magical enchantment.

Off the hook

1 Reply

Sachi Vixen sent me the sexiest little dress. In fact, it was a twofer as it comes with two options for wearing it – as a mini or as a longer, can-can style skirt.  I decided to wear it as the mini so I could wear these MichaMi stockings that have to have been made for that. If not, those Sachi and Milla have some weird psychic thing going on.

We would all benefit if we took this song to heart, wouldn’t we? I think when you look at Sissy Pessoa, you can see she has. I have been enjoying her designs since 2007 and have loved watching her learn new skills and expand her line. When I first started shopping at Baiastice, she made beautiful clothing. Then she made some purses and sunglasses. She was prolific and you had to hop all over the grid to her different stores to see her entire output. Then she finally got a sim and you could see everything in one place – and she started making shoes. Amazing shoes! And then she started to make skins – and always, getting better. Her clothing also got stronger and better as she began to experiment with sculpts and new shapes. She has never rested on her laurels and has yet to plateau. You can see that constant striving in this gorgeous gown and her lovely new skin line – Casting.

Star-Spangled New Year

Leave a reply

I am not sure if there will be a traditional Black & White Ball for New Year’s in Second Life this year – unless I can persuade Gidge to throw one with me  – but if there is, I know a perfect gown for it and it’s free. Saschi Vixen of Adam n Eve put out a marvelous gift gown for Christmas that really will rock any Black & White ball. I know New Year’s is pretty chilly though, so I added a shawl I snitched off a Donna Flora outfit called LoreDana for a little shoulder warmth.

Not Too Shabby

Leave a reply

Hybrid Ansar of Not Too Shabby did not know that I just selected a trove of red and black dresses from Modern Gypsy when she gave me this lovely prefab loft for Christmas. But seriously, if she had been reading my mind, she could not have chosen more perfectly. Small lofts like this often make great photo sets, but this one stands out for it’s brilliance as a piece of art. It made me feel so very high concept that I had to pull out my DARE poses – the most high concept poses in Second Life and get all arty with some of the Robert Longo poses and other poses from seminal photographers.

Checking in at DG Innovations

1 Reply

It’s been ages since I have been by DG Innovations. I have a reason. Every time I go there’s too much to tempt me and I spend more than I plan. Still, by waiting this long, I was overwhelmed by all the new dresses. This dress, called Moon River, is not one of the most recent releases, but it was new to me and in the lovely blue and silver color combination that I love for winter.  It comes with a couple options for wearing it. This is the side slit, sleek sheath.

There is also this full-skirt with a net overskirt and lovely embellished panels of embroidery going down the back.

My Red Carpet Gown

1 Reply

MDR Photo Studio had its 2nd Anniversary Party on Thursday night and they threw a Red Carpet party. It’s always fun to go to the parties where we get to really dress up and this party was full of beautifully dressed men and women in some luscious ball gowns. I had purchased this gown earlier this year and had not yet had a chance to wear it, so it was great to give it an outing as I really love the design.

Addictive Blossoms

Leave a reply

Have you been to Digit Darkes‘ new build at Addictive? I first heard her talk about her plans at a taping of Fabulous Fashion TV and have been eagerly waiting for it ever since.  It’s a black and white sim build with lots of little hidden pleasures like a downed plane in a ravine – a fashionista’s downed plane going by the amount of makeup in the wreckage.  I was so excited to see the build that I didn’t think that the best manners would be to shoot my first outfit there with one of the Digit Darkes dresses I picked up while exploring. Instead, I shot what I was wearing and am going to show it to you anyway because it’s so delightful and very well made – the intrepidly short Tender Blossoms cheongsam from Musashi-Do.
