…is that you don’t have SAINTS per se….and that you don’t know that Saints have DAYS. I mean, you sort of know. You know that there is the festival of this saint or that saint, and if you’re me you’re prone to attend these things cuz they have good food and are fun.
And there is usually a carnival. Continue reading
A-Bomb has this lovely New Year’s dress – Dirty Little Thing in red – and this is your last chance to get it. It’s only 1L and will be taken off the shelves, not for sale after New Year’s…so get moving if you want a flirty little slip dress for dancing the night away. You can also see the brilliant Redgrave Cyrcle Dream jewelry set.

Cajsa has been singing the praises of Little Rebel anytime we have to go somewhere that low ARC is appropriate, and sometimes just because she wants to. I was one of those people plagued by the SYSTEM SKIRT conundrum (they didn’t work if you don’t know – for some of us) so I never really saw the POINT of bothering with shopping at Little Rebel.
It almost seemed cruel to taunt myself with clothes I couldn’t actually WEAR OUT.
Oh, I do love skating. We had this special snow shovel that worked sort of like a push broom that we would use to clear the ice in front of the house for skating. Dad messed about with a floor polisher to make it an ice smoother for those winters when the lake froze on a windy day (bumpy ice makes for bad skating). We would string Christmas lights round a big cleared square of ice and run a loudspeaker down from the house. Then Dad would build a big bonfire on the ice and we would roast hot dogs and marshmallows and skate and ice dance for the 3-4 hours it would take for the bonfire to melt through the ice and fall into the lake. I spent hundreds of hours on the ice and in all that time never once did I wear a pair of ice skates as improbably sexy hot as these new skates from Bax Coen. Of course, no jacket of mine was a fancy and outright impractical as this jacket from Bare Rose either – it was too cold for such silliness. Thanks be that Second Life winters are more forgiving.

*I’m Totally Paraphrasing that title…….I read it on SCD or somewhere – I swear I think it was SECRETS………….and it made me laugh………….and evil sort of “Hmmm, I should do that” sort of laugh…………
I wonder then, can I just wear Digit Darkes, PXL and Damelsfly?
The logowear conundrum is one that I tend to avoid because it reeks of poorly made freebies most of the time. But when it’s not – it can be a lot of fun. Digit’s logo is great in big rhinestones – it makes me think of the 80s when the name on your butt defined which table you could sit at during lunch. Continue reading
I had this bright idea last night to try to double up on the challenge – producing a literary character to meet Teagan’s challenge and finding some or all of that character’s clothing at Bare Rose. I might have made it, too, if I had not been reading such a darn good book that I missed by bus stop and rode the bus 49 extra blocks before noticing. And to top it off, when I asked the driver if he was turning round, he said it was his last run. So I had to get off the bus and wait for a returning one. I didn’t leave work til nearly 7 so needless to say it was late when I got home. But if you only look at this picture, you might think I succeeded in dressing Nancy Drew at Bare Rose. When I think of Nancy Drew, I think of argyle sweaters and twin sets. Since it’s fall, I chose Argyle in a fabulous Bare Rose fatpack filled with every color in the universe. It’s sold with matching micro-minis but that was too prep school lolita for me.
It’s a tough question and ably answered by Iota Ultsch of Tres Jolie in this marvelous dress of Guipure lace with the eponymous name Guipure. I love the beautifully balanced handdrawn lace textures in the bodice, glitch pants and skirt. This dress is all lace from top to toe.
Sometimes I buy impractical things that I do not need for any reason.
Such as dresses composed entirely of sequins. I gotta confess when I saw this dress at Dolly Rock I truly had to run over and pick it up. It’s just such an OUT THERE dress…….cut down to THERE…..tight all around THERE…….with fun photosourced sequin texturing all over. Continue reading
Posted by Gidge Uriza – FYI this is a review – but I can’t get the review logo to post!
When rifling through my new PXL Linda skins I found, to my delight, at the bottom of the group some skins with fun pink and purple tones. I immediately wanted to wear something light and summery and pulled out this dress from BINGO that I forgot I picked up. Continue reading

I received two sets from Skin Flicks to review, the first being that cocktail dress I showed you a few days ago, and then THIS lovely piece – completely on the other end of the spectrum – fashion wise.
Or is it? Continue reading
