Cigar? Cigarette?

posted by Gidge Uriza

The folks at Reasonable Desires released this one a while back but I never remember to shoot things in order. So while it’s not NEW – it’s still uber fantastic and cute.

Cajsa had an event at MDR back in the day, and she had a good Furry friend of ours wear a waiter AO with a serving tray which was very festive and fun. This costume is in the same idea – your traditional 40s style Cigar/Cigarette Girl (they often also had gum and candies to freshen your breath back in the day) with a tray that actually gives stuff out.

Serendipity @ Tuli

So on  Sunday, I was trying to get to The Velvet for Maht’s set and my tp’s failed and failed and failed. I got a lovely thank you IM from Antonsperandeo Allen of Behavior Body for my post featuring his animations and asked for a TP to see if I could get untrapped. Well, I was able to leave the Spa, but now I was stuck on the Baiastice sim. So, I start clicking every LM I have trying to find one that gets me away… and whoosh, I end up at Tuli right in front of this dress and was like, “Forget the music, I want that dress!!!”  And that’s how I ended up finding it.

A-Bomb²

Gidge blogged the Paper Heart dress the other day and yet I could not resist its stripey goodness, so I thought I would see what other configuration I could wear it in and the very first thing I tried is another recent A-Bomb release, the pants from No More Words. Stripey heaven! A belt, some wine and thou and I was ready to go.

Woot! Woot!

PixelDolls Crochet Dress Kit

In plurk yesterday someone asked where folks buy gestures and I snarked that I don’t buy them because I hate them. I have never used the Woot! or Hoo! gestures. In fact, I deleted them as I do most gestures. So of course, friends have had to send me little messages saying Woot! because that’s  how the world works.

Now, about a week ago, I was actually in a position where the Woot! gesture would have been appropriate. You might recall the outfit I wore last week with the black crochet gloves. Folks could not find it, so I im’ed Nephaline Protagonist the creator of PixelDolls and asked if it was still on sale. She said she was going to make it a group gift, but then….the next day I got this off-line IM to email. “Hi sweetie! I tracked down that glove map, and reworked the whole thing a bit- I had quite forgotten what a neat top and stuff that was. I just put some items in my shop that use the maps- I’m sending you copies via Xstreet. Thanks for everything!!! <3”

Woot! She released three (four if you count the white skirt options) versions of the older dress, reworked so they are even better.  So here they are, thanks in part to you readers asking how to find those gloves, which prompted me to ask, prompting her to revisit those old files. And seriously, these dresses are too sexy by half – whether the daring crochet or the slightly more demure lace, with or without the corset. These are clothes for when you are hell bent on seduction and some of the hottest gloves ever.

Starlight Star Bright

Digit Darkes knows how to make sexy, romantic, fall in love forever dresses like no one else. Everytime you think, this is it, it doesn’t get any better, along comes something new and exciting and sexy.  Now I liked it when I saw it in the store. I liked it enough to buy it, but had not put it on yet when I saw it at Fabulous Fashion TV last week. Oh my, this is one of those dresses that have to be seen. No photo can capture how the dress glitters and shimmers in the light.  I was tempted to change into the dress right then in there in the studio, but I resisted and kept my low ARC system clothing on. /me pats self on the back.

SwanSong inspires Zaara

A beautiful, though sorrowful, event is going on – the literal SwanSong of the Black Swan sim. Like other Rezzable sims that all of us have loved, it will be leaving us shortly. But, it’s going out in glory with a SwanSong of artistic inspiration and design – a sale of skin, clothing, jewelry and even some houses inspired by Black Swan sim and the the elements. This glorious dress is Zaara Kohime’s inspired homage to the sim.

Rawr!

Sometimes the best outfits happen by accident. I was trying on some clothes the other night, getting ready to go dancing and had just put on a beautiful goth lolita dress from Blue Blood, but I really wanted something more clubby – so I right clicked on the folder for this black and white mini from bdreams. When it rezzed, I still had the corset and stockings from the Blue Blood outfit remaining and I thought it looked hotter than hot.  I added some gloves and red tights under the Blue Blood stocking and sure enough, when I dropped by the Skin Fair, someone said “Rawr!” hence the title.

That must have been some battle

I won this dress!  And after Iota told me about the inspiration for the dress – The Battle of Rajasthan – I think it’s so appropriate that I won it. To be completely honest, I don’t see a battle going on in the dress – unless it’s a battle between pink and green. If so, well the wearer is the victor. Iota made this dress in several shades and it took me almost two weeks to pick the one I wanted. There’s a gorgeous blue and yellow that had my name on it, too.  However, since retiring from photography, I have to watch my lindens more closely and happily winning 2nd in one of her photo contests, I was able to get one. I love pink and green together – just about more than anything…so this is it. The dress is called Junko – after one of Iota’s friends, but no matter the name, or the inspiration, the fabric is just amazingly detailed and beautiful.

La Dolce Vita

Sophia Loren is an immortal fashion icon. Her exquisite taste and good looks have been exemplars of what great fashion can look like for decades. La Couture Chapeau has offered up a tribute to her timeless style by recreating some of her iconic hats such as this red one that demonstrates an utterly outsized extravaganza of a hat can be perfect. That proportion can be wildly disproportionate and work.
