Gidge and I were at Donna Flora shopping. Isn’t it cool that we grabbed completely different outfits. She went for the elegant dress with the huge brooch. I went for this summery little number with the bright, happy print.
Truth’s Secondhand Jacket is delightful – it has an old-fashioned comfort look about it. You just know the fabric is soft from wear and that all the stiffness in the collar and pockets is long long gone and what’s left is pure, unadulterated comfort clothing. I paired it with the Feure shirt from MichaMi in part because I am so in love with the texturing on that shirt I seek opportunities to wear it. I feel the same way about the Adam N Eve leather pants. They are my favorite leather pants in SL and they are hot. Moreover, they are thoughtfully packaged with a bootleg and regular leg for maximum flexibibility.
Bliensen & Maitai have found a new home in the Starlust region – on Horst, to be exact. To celebrate, there are new releases including shoes, jewelry and this incredible rainbow dress. Wait until you see the bottom, though that lovely rainbow froth of lace at the bodice gives you a hint.
So I can show off another Modern Gypsy outfit. Seriously, I know this is the third in as many days, but I love them and didn’t really pay attention when shooting. With this one, I love the new silhouette he is creating. It’s so much fun to see people working with sculpties to give our clothing more options as far as fit and shape. This loosly fitting shift dress is a wonderful demonstration of how sculpties are changing SL fashion.
No, we’re not going to start popping and locking and dancing hip hop. The B is in reference to Blowpop and Baiastice – two of our fashion addictions. Both Gidge and I are wearing blowpop skins and then new Group gift from Baiastice – a gold, silver and white short cocktail dress that we each mashed up in different directions.

Ok, I lied. I’ve got some red white and blue. But it’s cute. And for the next 48 hours you’re gonna see it. I promise you no whacky hats or nutty hairs.
Well, I mostly promise.
Americana from GYPSY SOUL is a great dress for those of you feeling patriotic but not in that “I WILL WEAR AN UNCLE SAM HAT WHILE SINGING ALONG TO STARS AND STRIPES FOREVER” sort of mood.
Cuz, that sound doesn’t actually have words. Continue reading
Choosing something to wear while shooting a million hairstyles, I wanted a dress that would not interfere with the hair. No collars, ruffles or puffs – no prims, no sculpties. I wanted it to be relatively low cut as that tends to flatter most hair styles and really simple so it wouldn’t look odd with vastly different styles of hair. This dress pretty much fit the bill though it was a stretch for a few of the hats and fantasy hairs. It’s a lovely simple dress from Casa del Shai and really proved how flexible it is.
Chance Greatrex of DARE makes some amazing poses. He doesn’t have a vast inventory, but instead has created some very specialized poses such as those recreating the art of Richard Longo or these editorial poses from high fashion photographers. They are particularly difficult poses to make and still successfully avoid strange torsions and ugly twisting of the mesh, but he manages to make it work.
When I saw this baby doll nightie at Ardigraf Design Group, I decided that it would be a fun outfit to use for a shoot using his editorial poses since it is too sheer and skimpy to hide pose failures. Besides, I have no idea how many times someone has asked if I knew where to find a nightie…and now at long last, I do.
It happens that posemaker Chance Greatrex posed for my Double Take project as well.
While at the Fantasay Faire this weekend I saw a notice that Rfyre has a 100L sale back at the store. I had not been there for a long time so decided to go there later. So, off I went and found that Raven Pennyfeather of Rfyre has started a line of high fashion clothing called RP Couture. What really stunned me, though, was this dress – a near perfect replica of my mother’s wedding dress. Only with close examination could I find differences such as my mother’s gloves did not have ruffles at the top and the sculpted shoulders on her dress were rounder. It threw me for a loop but also into a really hunt to find the other elements needed to recreate her look that long ago 20th of June when she married my father.

I stumbled into Fear and Clothing who was much blogged by Cajsa a while back, while wandering the the Sn@tch Sim. How I never ended up in there yet I can’t say but there I was, squeeing about these CUTE Geisha jeans.
Had to have them. HAD to have them. Continue reading
