What To Wear To a Theme Party?

posted by Gidge Uriza

Our second computer is fritzed, so I couldn’t bring Silo along as my date for the Second Style Sim opening theme party which was replete with gorgeous couples in costumes of famous lovers.

But I needed to go, even just for a while. I was not only excited about the Sim opening but you know, I WORK FOR THEM, so it would’ve been really inappropriate to miss – but – WHAT TO FLIPPING WEAR? Continue reading

Do The White Goths Only Stab Others For Good?

Posted by Gidge Uriza

You know the saying, EMO PEOPLE WANT TO STAB THEMSELVES, GOTH PEOPLE WANT TO STAB YOU – well after I got the latest White Goth – Sophie release from BLUEBLOOD this got me wondering. What are the White Goth’s up to? Reading Martha Stewart instead of Keats? Smoking E- Cigs instead of clove?

The Sophie dress comes in several pastel accented colors with a gorgeous white theme all over,including gloves and hose. Continue reading

I Used To Rule The World…..

…..seas would RISE when I gave the word……

I know, lotsa fashionistas have blogged this dress. But it’s totally festive and I wanted to wear it too. I just had this whole pirate thing going on the second I saw it. So I went exploring and found this nutty build of pirate ships. And a guy apparently role playing a hanged man behind me. (Yeah that’s a person not a part of build). Continue reading

Exile's ZOE – The Gauntlet Has Been Thrown Down

I got an IM from Winter challenging me to style this hair – a new release at EXILE.

I expected a lot more CRAZY out of the style than I got when I TP’d into EXILE. It’s some big hair, with dreads and big ringlets and I liked it immediately because it’s long hair.

And I LOVE long hair. I also love the shades of blonde Kavar uses so that was pretty much a WIN as far as I was concerned. What I HATE is to SHOOT long hair.

I find that I don’t think twice about intersections and other annoying bits of hair here and there when I WEAR long hair, we all know it happens – just like we know that the texture can stretch and distort over ya bootie if you don’t wear a skirtshape with your system skirts. Continue reading

Digit Darkes Reminds Me WHY She Was My First Fashion Love

posted by Gidge Uriza

When I was new on the grid, I stumbled into a store that had clothes that weren’t cheap (to an unemployed girl they weren’t). But – they were spectacular. And they were vastly different and BETTER than anything my blingtard friends were sporting.  I immediately fell in love with the possibilities of fashion here on the grid.

That store was then called X3D – and you know it now as Digit Darkes.

I’m wearing a new release from her that she put on sale the other day – the Andreas Dress, in Copper. Like all of her work- it’s stunning, front AND back. Continue reading

Fall Weather is Here – Get Out Your Tights!

Posted by Gidge Uriza

Since I never throw anything away, I had these excellent ribbed tights that were part of a funky disco outfit from Pixel Dolls last year. When I saw this sweater/skirt set at Honey Soul – I knew they’d make a great fall look. Continue reading

DIY Costumes: Shop Your Inventory

I happened to be logged in during the day last Sunday and our friend Maht was doing a Halloween set from THE VELVET – his usual Sunday spot. I didn’t have a lot of notice before his set started and it was a Halloween party so I fretted for a bit about who to be.

Then it occurred to me that this old Free Speerit hair ELISE has a banana clip.

Putting together the rest of Sarah Palin was just TOO easy. Glasses from Prim Optic and a conservative dress from Little Rebel (I MISS LITTLE REBEL) and VOILA I was done. Continue reading

Casual Friday 8.14.09

posted by Gidge Uriza

My bedroom is littered with goodies from the Designer Showcase Network – some from old favorites and some completely new to me. I love getting something handed to me from a creator that I’ve never shopped at before just because I have the opportunity to learn a new place!

And even simple items like tanks or shorts tell me a lot. Continue reading
