One of my favorite styles, the Cheongsam is one of the many great buys at the big Pixel Dolls L$50 sale. Everything in one room is only fifty lindens and it’s all an amazing steal. I’ve been hard pressed to pick out specific items vs. just buying them all. 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.
There are five flowers in Modern Gypsy’s Winter Garden. In this picture I am wearing the Rose, another exuberant bouquet of dancing prims.
You can contrast that to the more structured architecture of Asian Lily whose exuberance is expressed through the riotous fabric texture.
So I am going to go overboard and drive you mad with Modern Gypsy posts, I am that excited. This post will look at two of Micah Kanto’s designs for Modern Gypsy, Babybreath and Genko. You mission, should you choose to accept it, is to determine which is which.
Is there anyone comparable to Shai Delacroix in shading textures for form-fitting, curve-hugging, body-kissing sex appeal? Maht calls one of her dresses the Ass Dress and certainly my bum looks better in that dress than any other. This one has a pleated skirt which precludes the kind of cupping closeness that the Ass Dress employs, but then look how this one hugs the torso, curving and swerving with your curves and swerves snugging as tight as silk can snug.
Leaving the aviary for a bit, Paper Couture’s Falling Leaves dress gets its inspiration from the colors of autumn and the brilliant colors of the dying leaves. This is a lovely day dress and beautifully constructed yet again.

a sang that song in West Side Story and it’s exactly how I felt when I put on this dress and one of the lovely new Aleri Darkes skins. Now you skin lovers out there, you have the opportunity to find all sorts of lovely skins during the current hunt at her store. You just need to find the cookies – and this is what they look like.

(just an author’s note – all sentiments listed below are actually one year old – they were the motivation for the dress’s purchase)
What sort of dress expresses so much power and fashion? What sort of dress REALLY puts you out there….so that you CANNOT be ignored?
I thought this one did. Continue reading

Looking for a fun Urban Decay sort of spot to shoot, Cajsa and I hearkened back to our past and went to the newly remodeled Vicious Wasteland. With ability to build and run scripts, this is a great spot for shooting photos or people – depending on your preference.
We were choosing to spotlight the fashions of one of The Grid’s Russian designer’s Olya Lowey. Olya’s designs vary between ultra-modern visions of future fashions to Romanov velvet influences, all with sharp details and many including shoes and accessories. Continue reading
For those of you concerned that blog reading is bloating your inventory, take a deep breath and relax. Today’s post is about two items you can’t buy today. The first is a preview of a new skin from Hart Larsson to be released in September. The skin is a collaboration with Nardya Rousselot, the tattoo artist, and has lovely, feminine tattoos.
To reflect and highlight the tattoo design, I chose a swimsuit that harmonizes perfectly, but is not on sale. It was a group gift from bijou, the Sail Away swimsuit. This was a gift to group members in July – and a good reason to belong to the bijou group. Yes, I know, it’s not subscribe-o-matic and uses up one of those precious slots, but bijou has amazingly generous freebies and group gifts and deserves its 4% of your group space. Continue reading
