Soooo, you know what is really fun?
Buying and wearing a wedding dress for no reason. Okay this might not be technically and officially a WEDDING DRESS -or maybe it is. It wasn’t labeled as such. But I was in a daffy mood, rolling around THE DECK – Sasy Scarboroughs beautiful beach sim. I popped into Tori-Wear and was just all girly mooshy about this big white dress.
So I bought it. Continue reading

I was in a duo-chomatic mood when I tried to decide WHICH of the super sexy summer shorts from Second Wave Apparel to wear today. It’s the weekend so I think Casual is IN ORDER! Don’t you? Continue reading
Annalee Balut of ALB Dream Fashion knows nearly every fashionista dreams of wearing a Dior gown or two or three and so has made stunning reproductions of some of Dior’s marvelous spring 2009 couture collection where Dior indulged in the purest romaniticism possible, creating dresses for a modern Trianon. In real life, fashion design is a symbiosis of current and historical trends with imagination and creativity. SL designers are also influenced by RL design and sometimes reproduce or reinterpret particularly iconic RL designs. You can see recreations of stunning wedding gowns and red carpert Oscar gowns around the grid. Some find this controversial, but I feel that so long as designers openly name their inspiration so said RL designer could easily discover the homage/reproduction and don’t try to hide anything, that it more a tribute to the RL designer than anything else.

And I’m all out of bubblegum.
NAME THAT MOVIE!
Okay so Belle sent me over to check out the boutique of a friend – EDGE DESIGNS and I was really excited to check out the cute offerings inside. The store itself was interesting and although the collection isn’t huge, there were some fun pieces.
The creator,Mrohs showed up while I was there and dropped this unreleased super cute tough girl outfit (I’m thinking THUNDERDOME!) on me that I had to share.
I wanted to completely kick somone’s ass while wearing this. I originally picked this hair up at Damselfly because I thought it was pretty but then I thought it looks messy and tough girl, so paired it with this outfit. Continue reading

Any fashionista worth her salt knows the first thing she ever got at a good store. That FIRST thing she picked up, and knew she liked the place. For me, it was these shoes from Artilleri – I got them both with cherries and with the oxidized Warhol Marilyn on them.
I think they rule but tend to forget I have them. When new releases came out a couple of weeks ago I had to go see what was new since I hadn’t been in a long time.
And I got swept up into an Artilleri new release buying frenzy.
These pants make me glad Gidge does her situps every night. PHEW!
And then while I was in my flurry of purchasing I broke down and bought my first SL glasses ever. I couldn’t resist I thought they were a hoot. They look like FINs on a 50s automobile.
Ok ok ok – I know I’m making sweet love to Artilleri all over the place but it’s just such a fun shop. I guess I got caught up in the moment…..SUE ME.

I spent a ridiculous amount of time agonizing over what to wear during my 8 minutes of fame on Fabulous Fashion TV. In addition to being unbelievably disorganized, confused and tardy during the entire process – I was nervous.
Unbelievably so.
I ended up wearing PXL Creations Nails instead of these Black Nails
Here is the kind of paranoid crap that ran through my mind.
So all this aside, I decided to embrace the stylists credo (after all I was the guest stylist although I wasn’t doing Angie Mornington’s hair) and wear all black. They do this to minimize their own fabulousness and to make it all about YOU – if you’ve ever wondered why some do that. Really upscale places tend to (or neutral colors). Continue reading
I don’t want to get all dramalicious on you, but I really despise rude cowards who make anonymous personal attacks such as the one posted (and removed) on SL Secrets today. Instead of ranting, though, I thought I might show my support for Analu and her blog and her decision to accept advertising to help offsest the cost by following a SLURL to one of her advertisers and buying something. And look at the gorgeous, frothy and feminine gown I ended up with. So much better than a rant!!!
So…I was think that if you appreciate Analu’s blog and value the fashion news and updates as well as the frequent tips and tricks she shares about windlight, prim editing and the like, you might want to give her advertising a click, too, and even drop the advertisers a line and say you saw them on her blog. If you’re a blogger, perhaps you might want to blog something you find at one of their stores.

So my only two trips to Vegas were via the company I worked for, business trips of various sorts. Despite that, I got to look from my “I’m just here on business with no cash for nutty stuff” point of view at some of the legendary Vegas activities.
Such as, prostitution!
The last time I went,our company rented out the entire Treasure Island/Mirage hotel complex (ahem yeah it was a big company) and put up every manager and above from around the world.
One of my two favorite moments in Vegas came in the casino by the elevators to the tower rooms at the Treasure Island. I step off the elevator and walk toward the bar, where the president of my division (my boss) is seated, chatted up by this bejeweled girl in bright green. Continue reading
Sorry for blogging so late and with just an abbreviated post at that. I had a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day today and have not accomplished much of anything at all today. Anyway, that’s the why for this late and short post. The dress is from L’Abel and is scrumptious.
