Caroline’s Jewelry has the distinction of being the FIRST thing I ever bought because I saw it on the feeds.
It was this necklace. Which has appeared in numerous lingerie posts, because it always inspires a TAKE ME TO BED OR LOSE ME FOREVER sort of attitude in me which I cannot explain. Continue reading
I love this new bodysuit from House of Hucci with its gorgeous dropped sleeves – something you can find at the Call For Couture event that is raising funds for The Samaritans. Although they have been planning this for a long time, the recent spate of suicides has made the event more timely than they could have imagined. Because the SL fashion world is always busy with events and charitable activities, the Jewelry Fair is also busy raising funds for Oxfam International. Doing good by looking good! That’s should be Second Life fashion’s motto.
Pteron has many different places to visit when you go there, but I was captivated by this stairway that would probably give me an anxiety attack in real life. For the shoot, I used Codie’s fabulous windlight settings that are included in many of the alternate viewers. This is Rouge 4 and has such a dramatic feeling that it seemed perfect for that tense balancing act on the stairs and the ominous setting of this fortress.

I am sitting on nothing. If I only had some lensflare this photo would be a cornucopia of things for the Fashion Mafia to chew on.
Alas, I am lensflareless. Thus, you must content yourselves with pondering what it is I am sitting on in mid-air. Obviously pixel-people must sit on something or there will be a disruption in the space-time continuum.
I’m sorry I’m ranty. I don’t feel well.
But I like these new clothes from Chantkare. Continue reading
I love the brilliant mix of colors in the new Paper Couture collection and nowhere is this bold palette better displayed than in the Mask Dress that declares its African inspiration boldly.
The colors got me running over to RMB Lab New Orleans where I could shoot this burst of color in a simple sketch venue – sort of like the only thing colored in the coloring book.

I mean, how are they staying UP? What property of magic are they employing that keeps them from falling down?
I do not know the answer to this, but I tell you what. I’m afraid to dance in them. Continue reading

The Designers United event missed my radar somehow until I saw Cajsa’s blogpost. I don’t know how I missed it but I’m scattered, what can I say?
I had been petting and drooling over the gorgeous creativity dropped on the Hair Fair by Tekeli-Li this year (yes this Barbie is a huge Tekeli-Li fan, go figure) and I had my skin all picked out but just couldn’t decide what to wear – until I got the DU notice about this dress from ORTA.
Win. Continue reading
Hey Mister Can I Have A Ride On The Bumper Cars?

When I was in Middle and High School, it was compulsory for girls whose fathers belonged to the Masonic organizations to have to work at the county fair for two weeks in the summer, serving the food the Shriners cooked up in the hot summer heat. We’d wait on tables in our white t-shirts,jeans and pony-tails, grinning with pearly white teeth and talking to boys about going to see the various animals they were going to show,sneak kisses behind the soda machines or talk about who won the pie cook off with the old ladies who had come in for a cold drink.
And when we got our breaks……we’d go out and flirt with carnies for free rides. To show that the carnies either weren’t that bright or weren’t actually trying to shag us, they’d let us have free rides in return for “coming back to see them later”. Continue reading
