I love prints and colors. I am a veritable magpie in my love of bright colors and prints. So when the new release of fun little jumpsuits from Baiastice came out in five luscious wild and colorful prints, I was all over it.
There is nothing I like more than seeing a picture on a blog that makes me go OMG I MUST HAVE THIS! Which is exactly how I felt seeing the Lana dress on Cajsa the other day. It’s a mesh release from Baiastice and it is in fact probably one of my favorite mesh dress releases with it’s vintage swagger and fun colors. Continue reading
So I went looking for a lovely place to shoot and found Misali – a gorgeous water sim with small islands that hold lovely little set pieces perfect for the SL photographer. Since I was wearing the purple and sapphire dress and jacket outfit from Baiastice I decided to use the lovely Purple Moonlight windlight setting from Elysium Elide. I love the dress and the jacket and like them together, though this does highlight one of the reasons I have not become a 100% supporter of mesh. I would love to have them as separate pieces, but unlike system clothing, mesh separates can be difficult to fit together. Some strategies I have used to make mesh separates work is to wear a M under and an L on top, though that does not always work. That’s why designers like Baiastice’ Sissy Pessoa make the outfits in one unified mesh instead of separates. It makes them work together perfectly, adjusting to your poses and preventing all intersections, but it does reduce our opportunity to make individualist styling choices.
Or maybe we just have to dig a little deeper to come up with new ways to add our own quirks and options. Here, I added the collar and sleeve fur pieces from a Bliss Couture jacket. I decided to tie the jacket more directly to the dress, adding the accents in the sapphire color of the dress.
I had a lot of fun in Second Life yesterday. I went to the Kamera Klub event at The Velvet where a bunch of folks dressed up as The Cramps and The Beatles for a two hour pose-off (Gidge did the poses as Status was an event sponsor) and musical duel and where I got a couple lovely compliments on this dress and jacket combo from Baiastice. Then I rushed off to the Labyrinth of Absurdity where I shot these blog photos. It’s an amazing spot and I will return to shoot there again as there are several installations, this one with my friend on the swing here being only one.
Sweet forgiveness, that’s what you give to me.
When you hold me close,
And you say: “That’s all over.”
You don’t go looking back,
You don’t hold the cards to stack.
‘Cause you mean what you say.

I’ve torn my nylons with my plastic spider ring. I guess there is nothing to do for it but to blog about something else………like………SKIN!
Glam Affair has released LEAH which is a fresh, soft face even in thick red lipstick. I feel in love with the gorgeous look of this skin as soon as I put it on but I’m a sucker for soft girly looks.

I decided to do the opposite of Cajsa when picking up the Unedited Photo Challenge and do LOTS of color vs very limited range. I followed my usual habit of snorking off of Honour McMillan’s blog for a place to shoot onlocation. It was perfection that the place I landed on is called Happy Mood, as I have nothing but one of those. Continue reading
I love Lana, the new mesh dress from Baistice. It comes in 6 fabulous color combinations and has lovely details such as the ribbon strap on the top which I mention since my hair is covering it up. The denim fabric is a great, practical fabric for travel and running around shopping. I like the polka dot belt with the read buckle – and decided to highlight it by wearing red accessories. Sissy Pessoa of Baiastice has a keen eye for details and this dress is a great example of her skill.

Today is the day many of the faithful of Minnesota celebrate by wearing purple in honor of St. Urho who famously saved the grape harvest of Finland by uttering the phrase “Heinäsirkka, heinäsirkka, mene täältä hiiteen” (roughly translated: “Grasshopper, grasshopper, go to Hell!”) My family has made the pilgrimage to Menagha to see the famous statue of Saint Urho.
