I’ve Been Bad…..

Now that I have your attention….. Well, I kinda have been bad.  It’s been more than a month since my last blog post.  I’ve gotten out of habit and I really need to jump back into the fire.   So, with that, I have my contribution for Week 6 of the 52 Week’s of Color – Alice Blue.  And its a saucy lil’ lingerie set from Lil’Lace, called Sugar Blue. (Sorry I’m not in-world and do not have LM’s).

Thursday Night's Alright for Dancing

mar01_022

The newest mesh dress from Chantkare is made for dancing. I was checking out the March Mesh Madness event, standing with the eager hordes waiting for stuff to rez so I could actually see one article of clothing when I got an IM inviting me to a club where they were playing a set of TV theme song covers in honor of Davy Jones. So I set myself the question, “do i want to continue to swim in the lag waiting to see something – anything – or do I want to go listen to a weirdly appealing idea for a music set?”

And that’s how I ended up at Soundproof, the new club opened by Paradox Messner who has DJed at The Velvet for years. And yes, it was a fun set – full of great musical covers that I had never heard before and of course, culminating with “Hey, hey, we’re the Monkees…” As to March Mesh Madness, I am going to try staying up late and logging in after folks have gone to sleep. Just don’t everybody else try that.

FLUX-uating

0216_006

Growing up in the Minnesota Northwoods, Mardi Gras was not something I paid much attention to. I had Catholic friends and knew all about Ash Wednesday, but there were never any big parties the night before. Can you imagine Marge and Norm Gunderson or Jerry Lundegaard dancing down the street while jazz was played by live musicians? Can you imagine live musicians marching down any street in Minnesota playing something other then Minnesota, Hail to Thee or the localized version of On Wisconsin? It’s not that there were no Catholics in the Northwoods, but they were Scandinavian Catholics which made them act more like Lutherans anyway. It worked the same with the Baptists like my family. You may see lots of movies with those Baptist gospel choirs and dancing in the pews, but not the Scandinavian Baptists. They might sing gospel songs, but with all the fervor of Sheldon Cooper. So, any interest in Mardi Gras would have been anthropological – an examination of the rites and practices of some foreign country, like Louisiana.

Luxuriating in Lingerie

Luxuria_007.jpg

The highly anticipated opening of Luxuria happened yesterday – with Roslin Petion’s release of her new lingerie collection. Roslin has been producing lingerie for her 5th & Oxford brand for a long-time and has a devoted following of people who admire her craftsmanship and skill in creating gorgeous hand-drawn clothing. The new Luxuria brand will focus on high-fashion, modern lingerie yet maintain the attention to quality and detail that often makes a person seek out vintage clothing. In the photo above, Gidge and I are wearing a sampling of all her releases, but I really have to focus on one in particular. Why? Vanity, of course!

Vanity, vanity, all is vanity! Of course I am going to focus on the Cajsa lingerie set and show you all the lovely jewel tones she made it in – because having clothes named for me makes my heart dance a little jig and sets me singing. I should point out that the pose box in the slideshow is from Dieselworks, but the many boxes used in the top photo are from Glitterati.
