Winter Wheat

Leave a reply

I guess because I grew up next to the Red River Valley of the North, whenever I see the phrase winter white my mind thinks of winter wheat. It’s a form of wheat that’s planted in the fall, needing the cold to flower. Of course, sometimes the winter is too hard and it kills off the crop, but then farming is possibly the only form of gambling legal in every country of the world.  Now I would not wear these Novocaine winter white pants on the farm – but this truly is a perfect farm girl goes to town outfit, after all they are officially called City Slacks.

Hunting Zebra on the Serengeti

posted by Gidge Uriza

It would take a special girl, a girl with mad skills, a girl with a certain flair, a girl who made the boys her slave with a wink……..to send them Zebra hunting to make her such and outfit.

A girl with really long legs.

Clearly Digit Darkes knows such girls exist. Girls who roam the savannah in lingerie, waiting for their lover to return with more beautiful zebra – for her ever expanding collection. Continue reading →

Posermaker Appreciation: Reel Expression

1 Reply

Achariya suggested last week that we highlight our favorite posemaker. It’s hard to do because there are so many great ones, and that is why I have dawdled. Still, if I have to choose only one, that one must be Luth Brodie of Reel Expression.

Fear & Clothing

Leave a reply

A friend of mine is taking a year off to live on the Pacific Coast of Mexico – for some sun, surfing and reflection – and asked for some book recommendations. Since I had put on these pants from Fear & Clothing, my first thought was a list of Hunter S. Thompson books. I really love the tartan pants from Fear & Clothing. They come in great colors such as this bold yellow and orange. I also pulled out my Spring Turtleneck from last Spring‘s collection from Aoharu. These turtlenecks have been on of my best investments and I wear them often.

Antique-ing On a Saturday

posted by Gidge Uriza

This Saturday is spent schlepping around vintage/antique stores searching for six chairs for my RL dining room. My dining table is from the Sears and Roebuck catalog circa 1912, from the lodge of a large fishing camp that my family owned in Minnesota BACK IN THE DAY.  When the last of the cabins had been sold or demolished, in the 70s, my entire family converged upon the LODGE where the meals had been served and the furniture within was plundered and scattered amongst us.

EVERY SINGLE MEMBER of my family HAS one of these tables. It’s sort of bizarre, yet endearing. Continue reading →

The Best Store Name Ever

5 Replies

Waking up stiff and cold, huddled in the back seat of a rusted out Nash Metro that I pulled over somewhere off the highway outside Las Vegas, I stretched and squinted past my knees wincing at the light bouncing off the white sands of the desert plains. I grabbed my bottle of whiskey to quench my dry mouth and saw I had emptied it in the night and unfortunately for my head, I didn’t spill a drop. A Soweto beat booming in my head from the mix of whiskey, chips and salsa and whatever else I could grab at the Arcade, I crawled out of the car and decided to end this little experiment in Gonzo writing by rezzing the huge box of promotional items from Fear & Clothing – the best named store in Second Life. The first thing I tried on was this Sharkskin Red Striped jacket that I completely fell in love with.

Let Efe Rock You, Chaka Khan

I’m clearly on a Diva Kick. I told Cajsa I was dressing up as Patti LaBelle but I must’ve been LISTENING to Patti but thinking Chaka because this girl obviously sings for Rufus.

I swear to GOD I saw her in this dress on You Tube.

Who knew Chaka Khan shopped at Casa del Shai? Continue reading →

Fairy Grace

Leave a reply

During an intermission at the SLag Fetish Burlesque Show – a show that should be on your must-see list – Hart Larsson passed me a few makeups in his new Grace skin line that he will be releasing this week. This is one of them and so elegant that I had to open the blog post with a photo of it.

While wandering high and low yesterday through all the Albero sims trying to find the store where I bought a shirt so it could be properly credited in the blog – I stopped by Twinkleberry another favorite jewelry store and discovered that the creator was working in collaboration with Un Pick – the designer for the eponymous Unpick clothing line. I saw this dress and it’s acid green appealed to me as did the Twinkleberry garland and anklet accessories. I don’t roleplay fairies, but I do love fairy costumes. Gidge’s influence I suppose.

lotta lamb

1 Reply

There’s been an explosion of Lamb on the feed lately and in particular this long hair style from Lamb has been ubiquitous. Of course, that always leades to some griping that we all show the same damn thing. First, I think Achariya’s most recent challenge resoundingly trounced that complaint. Secondly, gripers ignore the substantial benefit of having the same hair shot in varied styles in varied degrees of photo quality and manipulation. With that many photos, if there were major flaws, they would be exposed. And lastly, when something comes along that excites this many people and seems to be “everywhere” it’s only because it solves a problem everyone shares. In this case, here we have flowing long hair that comes forward naturally and yet does not plunge into your breasts, appearing below like some appendage of cousin Itt.  It’s got something that people have been wanting and so it’s exciting. This should confirm for you that it’s a great product, well worth buying.

Bold & Beautiful

Leave a reply

While shooting the new Efe skin from PXL Creations, I decided to feature one of the bolder pair of pants in my inventory. From Stitch by Stitch, these Valeska pants come with a sweater as well, but I opted for a blouse and sweater vest instead. If you are feeling sad and weary, if the world’s troubles are getting you down, go to Stitch by Stitch. It’s such a happy store with bright vibrant colors and patterns that will lift even the mood of such a notorious grouch as Ebenezer Scrooge.
