Snuggly comfort can be stylish – something beautifully demonstrated with this skirt from Miu and the sweater set from DP YumYum. Lovely little details like the tie on the skirt or the differently colored buttons on the sweater show designers who pay attention to the nuances of style and share a little wink of delight with their customers.
I went to Codebastard Redgrave’s surprise party last night for her second Rez Day and had a great time. The DJ, Madama Maracas, was new to me and I thought she was fabulous. She did an amazing job of incorporating a wide variety of music and finding some outstanding songs to suit the occasion – frequently inserting a song that slyly commented on or reflected the somewhat ribald and risque chat in the room. I had a great time…and part of that great time was enhanced by planning ahead and choosing a party perfect dress like this one from Baiastice. You see, I knew that anyone as well-loved as Codie would not have only 15 to 20 people at her party, that there would be a crowd that would stretch our computers to the max…so I wanted to dress for a party while keeping my ARC down.
Today’s outfit would never have come together if not for the good sense and grace of designers who allow their customers to mod their clothes. I really wanted to put these pieces together but the colors weren’t quite right…but thanks to flexible and smart designers from Thimbles and Maitreya, I am happily wearing exactly what I wanted to wear. It all started with this fun and adorable coat from BomBon. Yes, BomBon, not BonBon.
Boom has yet another enticing and lovely outfit – a dress this time – called Celebration. However, please don’t store this in your Christmas Clothing and Jewelry box to molder away until next year. It’s a lovely dress that can be worn year round. Here you see it with the delicate lace jacket from Zenith – a tintable froth of a jacket.
So you want to dress up for the holidays, but don’t want to look twee? Why not wear clothes that look fine all year round but give them a holiday edge with accessories and makeup. I am using these old earrings from Dark Mouse – ones I have worn time and again because the colors can, in the context of the season, add a holiday air to regular clothes, The more explicit holiday expression comes from the Fleur Allure Winter skin with the green shadow and the bold red lips.
We’re taking a snow day! I just finished making a nice area for shooting snowy pictures at the new MDR Photo Studio sim and couldn’t resist putting on some snowy weather gear. I wanted people to be able to see my in all that whiteness, so a bright pink outfit seemed in order.

Sometimes the beauty of a dress is so self-evident that any attempt to describe it merely detracts from your pleasure in seeing the designer’s marriage of art and design and her balancing of the challenges of phantom flexi-prims with the demands of fashion. The Kungler Couture Passion of the Black Swan dress by AvaGardner Kungler is exactly that sort of dress. This is a dress that can take your breath away, so just sit back and enjoy the ride.
A panache of fire and black plumes frame your face together with the silver needles and thread of the old song, The Black Swan by Giancarlo Menotti.
Black Swan
The sun is falling and it lies in blood
The moon is weaving bandages of gold
Old black swan where oh where is my lover now
Where oh where is my lover now

So the designing mastermind Sissie Pessoa has a fashion show yesterday @ 1 PM SLT. I planned to go and when I checked the notice, I saw there was a dress code requiring black. So I started dressing and I thought to myself, “Self, you really should lower your ARC, that hair is 2000 all by itself.” So I took off my hair and set to dressing to lower my ARC (not to 1, this wasn’t a challenge) to below 200. After a little trying on of different styles, I chose the Cake hair style which was low in ARC. Continue reading
Monarch butterflies are beautiful and amazing. It astonishes me that those small, tissue-paper thin leaves can carry them across the ocean, but they can and they manage to migrate 3000 miles fluttering those tiny wings. Of course, if you have ever chased a butterfly, you know those wings can really move.
Ode is a place for chasing butterflies, catch one and you might get a piece of jewelry by Random Calliope. I have been chasing butterflies, but i went there today to chase photos – specifically, I wanted to wear this stunning Azazello dress from Vindi Vindaloo – an homage to the monarch butterfly.

My friend Naru im’ed me to let me know that C was in the lucky chair at Aoharu. Do you have any idea how rare it is for a C like me to get to tp in and rescue a lucky chair party from a long wait? Most lucky chair parties have 3 to 4 C’s all waiting their chance. What in the word does that have to do with this picture? Simply that I won a fabulous pair of shoes that made me think of this dress and pull it out of my closet. It’s called the Black Widow dress and that made me think of cemetaries which leads us full circle and back to the land inbetween and its fabulous cemetary.
