I have stalked this bathing suit since it went into the lucky chair at Coconut Ice, for oh, Say A YEAR. My husband came to SL and promptly won it right off the bat one day while shopping with me.
Here you see Silo – flaunting his new bikini a year ago, at a party with threw on Vicious Island.
So, I was a little bitter, I gotta admit. I mean, it wasn’t even TRANS! GRRRRR. Continue reading
So, I am sad that Linden Labs bought OnRez and will be closing it down. I don’t like the other site and probably won’t use it. However, the news did send me rushing to OnRez to shop and there I found this lovely jacket from Y.M.X. Pink and grey go together so well and this lovely tweed is just adorable. I wanted to wear something pink to show off this new skin – a limited edition offering from Bebae. It’s a Valentine’s Day makeup addition to the Bebae Belina line – and comes with a pink or a red lipstick.
Truth be told, there was a rocking hot hair sale at Truth with single color sets of hair for only 50L, so I popped over to stock up because Truth makes good hair and in particular, makes amazing updos. This one is Antie II and comes with many flower choices. I had to edit the attached flower a bit because its original attachment point displaced an earring and that just won’t do. I must have been on auto-pilot and not thinking because my first attachment was to the eye. Now all of you should just go an attach a hair flower to your eye just so you can have a good laugh. I laughed so hard I hurt. I ended up putting it on the chin.
This lovely black gown with the gorgeous fur neckline and the lovely tulle drapped gloves was sent from the soon to open Phoenix Rising. I fell in love with the exquisitely rumpled full skirt and the beautifully constructed fur collar. As soon as I tried a necklace, though, the collar dropped off as it was attached to the chest instead of the spine. So I decided to copy the collar and attach the copy to the spine to free up the chest for a necklace and thought I might show you my method which is pretty easy and foolproof.
I admit I have favorite designers – and Sissy Pessoa of Baiastice is one of them. She brings such whimsy and joy to her work that her clothes often make me smile. She’s generous with her group, providing monthly gifts that can bowl you over. She creates new silhouettes and has new ideas – and most of them work well. Then she turns around and makes some delightful bit of fun like this Kali jacket that all you can really say is that she is unpredictable.
The other day I was shopping at Adam N Eve, looking to see if their made their wonderful high-waisted leather skirt in gold as well as silver. They don’t, I want. I wanted to wear it with this top – a blouse I love with reservations. It’s a gorgeous design, I love the intricate black on black embroidery and would wear it more often if it were not sold on only the jacket layer. I would like to tuck it in sometimes. I would like to wear it under a jacket sometimes. It’s a constant refrain from those of us who write about fashion, give us more layers. Continue reading
Okay, sometimes clothes are just too darn cute. You put them on and say “Aww!” and then you run around upping the cuteness quotient by choosing a cute hair style and cute shoes and cute makeup. Of course, if you mention Schroedinger’s Cat people might not think you know what you are talking about, but smart people will know better. One of the things I really like about today’s television shows is the prevalence of cute and smart people – like Abby on NCIS and Charlie Eppes and Amita Ramanujan in Numbers. I just love seeing smart people who are cute. Now, what does this have to do with the Aqua Plaid dress from Dani’s Fine Fashions. Well, it’s cute. It’s really cute. It’s not black, so Abby would not wear it….but it’s a great bargain, so it’s a smart purchase. Which would make you both cute AND smart.
Every Sunday afternoon finds me at the Velvet – the marvelous indie music club on the Downtown sim. The Velvet is a favorite club for many reasons, not least that there are no gesture addicts there. People actually have conversations with each other so it’s not silenced by IM private chat either. By and large, people are generally pleasant and friendly though a few are self-proclaimed music snobs. There’s a lot of music conversation and folks have a good time. There’s no dress code and people generally come as they are. This is what I wore this Sunday while dancing the afternoon away.
So I went shopping in Osaka. I actually went there to see if Akeyo had made new dances. The answer to that is no. Then I poppped across the street to see what Rebel Xtravaganza was up to and the next thing I knew I was checking out the adorable little shopping complex iwth the bridges and ladders over the river. That’s where I found this hair and hat combo, the skirt and the top and some other stuff, but I can’t wear everything at once. Now, one time when I went to Spain, I did put on three pairs of slacks and 4 shirts because I could not close my suitcase, but other than emergencies like that, it would just be silly.
