The Dorky Fashionista and a Face Palm Incident

posted by Gidge Uriza

I always like to think I’m thorough before contacting a creator that something is wrong, simply because the problem usually exists between the keyboard and the chair.

But I slipped into the Shades of October shrug the other day and my first thought was, hmmm, where is the shirt?  So then I’m slapping on other layers, and no matter what I did, I was all boobs in the wind – wearing a lovely shrug.

I’d had a problem a couple of days before with another creator’s stuff – the textures were borked and didn’t work so I kind of thought that might be going on, and IM’d Auguste Finair of Shades of October. She asked me if it was like the picture, and I said ,no I’m topless.

And promptly SENT her a topless pic of myself wearing the shrug. (She will probably sell it to you for a good price). Continue reading

The Black Swan

sep23_005.jpg

Traveling on a space highway,
Three long years to this day.
A billion million trillion miles.
Home is a long, long way away.

From bow to stern she’s 20 miles long,
Ten miles high and wide.
A beautiful swan in a silent sea,
No water to slow her down.

Sometimes it seems we’re motionless,
Caught between time and space.
Other tiny star systems rush headlong by.
Signs are bursting in the rain

Props for Poses

I love furniture and houses that have some poses built in and wanted to show you some of the lovely poses in Y’s Omake house and furniture. I am wearing a casual outfit featuring elements from Project Donate for UNICEF, Designers United and Hair Fair – a few of the events that are going on now.

Venus In Exile

posted by Gidge Uriza

It’s a quickie today but I’ve been sitting on this shoot of the gorgeous Hair Fair release from Exile for days.

And it wanted out.

I think that if you read me enough you know that it is just about girly enough to make me drool in RL.

I’m also wearing one of the CHLOE skins from Exile, which is a very delicate and pretty face.

Now, it’s Friday! Have a great weekend! I mean it!

Echoes & Mirrors

sep08_017.jpg
The myths of Narcissus and Echo have inspired a tremendous outpouring of art throughout history and now and exhibition of the creative arts of Second Life with Designers United. The majority of the work at Designers United is fashion – such as this dress I am wearing, but there’s also posemaking and home building. The mirroring bench I used in these shots with their poses is an outstanding example of that creativity and craftsmanship.

The genius is that the poses in the bottom bench mirror the poses in the top and a semi-sheer prim separates them to give the effect of water. Taking two photos and putting them together is a relatively simple task and with the bench designed to create the mirrored effect, it was an easy thing to do.

Life Sized Candy Bars

Aug16b_010.jpg

Do you ever just put together an outfit not really knowing where you are headed until you get there? I was planning to put together something to wear with some boots and look where I ended up today. I vaguely remembered a brown skirt I have, but could not recall the maker. After working my way through my Skirts/Brown/ folder and coming up empty, I thought I might check my Ivalde/L’Abel folder. Well, I still didn’t find what I was looking for, but was completely distracted by the awesomeness that is this fabulous brown pencil skirt from L’Abel. The blouse is also from L’Abel and has a ruffled peplum style bottom that I left off in order to wear it tucked in.

My exploring feet took me to Risk City this time – and what a fun place it is. There are several installations in Risk City, each a stand alone work of art. This one if Chocolate – and it’s as yummy looking as the name.

Life-Sized Candy Bars!!!
