This dress was a group gift from Alchemy a while back, and I immediately thought BIRTHDAY PARTY DRESS! A good friend was having a birthday party in SL and it was great, I slipped it on and headed over.
Only to realize the party was over and I’d missed it. AND NO ONE GOT TO SEE ME IN MY CUTE PARTY DRESS!
So I hung it back up in my closet nicely, thinking thast someone was going to have a birthday party eventually and I’d wear it! Who knew It’d be me? Continue reading

Cajsa warned you I had new skins! 🙂 There isn’t a pixel day that goes by that I don’t THANK GOD for my now SL Dead Blingtard friends who only ever took me shopping at X3D (now Digit Darkes). Because if it weren’t for them, I wouldn’t be wearing some absolutely gorgeous, radiant new skins.
I was trying to get off to bed last night when word of the hunt at Diversity came and I braved another hour online (despite it being day two at a new job!) to make the best of it! The new skins are simply radiant and the variety of make up options are truly myriad. Continue reading
The lone hibiscus
waits for the sun to bloom:
morning’s first offering

I am sure I am not alone in excited anticipation when I hear that Eshi Otawara has made a new gown. I know with certainty that it will be creative, unique and lovely. Sure, there are some for which I merely admire the creativity and unique creative vision without having any desire to own it myself. However, more often than not, her dresses thrill me with their feminine beauty and wild leaps of imagination. Her newest, Hibiscus Dream is such a gown.

So this scanty outfit started with the hair. I’d found some big foofy hair at a designer (who shall remain nameless) and it was just all that and a bag of chips. But, sigh, the economics of it were paining me. One color only for L$400? So many designers are at least including a couple of tones or more for LESS money….
Quibbling over a couple of hundred lindens might seem silly but in fact, I’m just an AV like everyone else and not always MADE of money. Cajsa reminded me that I could check Damselfly for some big hair that might be what I was looking for, so I flew over there. Continue reading
I have always loved the lyrics to Moon of Alabama and when I photographed this dress from the newly opened Zullay Designs I knew a butt shot or two were in order. It’s that kind of dress, the one you wear when you feel like some flirting. Show me the way to the next whisky bar. Oh, don’t ask why, no don’t ask why.
I am sincerely appreciative of the many freebies and group gifts showered on Second Life’s residents by the clothing designers and creators. Some however, do strive to create group gifts that are in a different class and in that group, Sissy Pessoa is the Gold Medalist. From Grandma’s Closet to Snake Outfits to this lovely new gift this month that includes a chair and two cigarettes in holders for all you smoking AV’s out there. Me, I quit smoking July 8th, so when i took a puff my eyes closed. The next snap would have been me sneezing. : )
I enjoyed the Hair Fair – I loved the bloggers’ sneak peek on Thursday night though spent too much time dancing and too little time looking considering that we only had a bit over an hour. Going back primless and fancy free, though, I managed well enough to find some great hair. That includes this other find from Exile. The most exciting thing about Hair Fair is the new-to-me hair designers I find there, or in this case, forgotten. How could I have forgotten, where was my head? Certainly not in this luscious hairdo – not until the Hair Fair, that is.
Look at that braid – now have you ever seen such an excellent braid in Second Life before? My avatar jumped up and down and kicked her heels in the air and did assorted and sundry other expressions of delight when that hair rezzed…it’s yummy. Continue reading
I am having one of those days (leaving the ATM card in the machine, walking away from the coffee maker with the pot while the coffee pours through the filter, biting into a sandwich at one end while the contents slide safely out the other) so these photos and style notes can stand on their own. Suffice it to say I like the look – love MG Fashion’s Maria Fat Pack and dip into it regularly and think Tuli’s new skin is smoochaliscious. Continue reading
Chantilly lace and a pretty face
And a pony tail hanging down
That wiggle in the walk and giggle in the talk
Makes the world go round
Okay, I just love that song and would dig it out for anything, but it seems to fit with the lovely lace in this jacket. I have another prim jacket of lace made by Rano Noel that I blogged recently. Sadly her store is closed, her website is down and she has not responded to several im’s and note card inquiries. I can only conclude the has left SL for awhile.
Because that jacket was a wardrobe staple I pulled out a lot, I knew I had to find one that met those same needs so I would not be repeatedly blogging one item that you have no chance of finding. So I asked my friend Miffy to make a new one. Basically what was needed was a prim jacket (so you can wear it over those frequent jacket-layer-only tops), that was tintable and had a lace texture to reveal the top underneath and not look too heavy.

Remember me writing about my indecision, my running around from sim to sim, all in the effort to find a costume for MDR’s Midsummer Night’s Dream party? That was just last Friday – but lo, what should appear in my notices window last evening?
It is not that it’s an outfit from Annalee Balut, one of my favorite designers. Or that that outfit is free for the month of August. It is that the name of this outfit is Shakespeare’s Midsummer Night’s Dream. So, i have to ask, Where were you when I needed you? Continue reading
