Stepping up to meet Achariya’s Challenge are probably mostly photographers, as photography is truly the symbiant love of the posemaker. But, as a model who spends a great deal of time STANDING on poses, sorting through them sometimes and other times BEING sorted through on them, I actually have some great love for the art.

When the big stores have their wonderful, huge markdown sales, I always like to take advantage of stocking up on basics. Sn@tch is one of my favorite stores for picking up different things that make great additions to any outfit. I can’t believe, however, that I had never noticed this sweater, scarf comb that I picked up during their L$50 sale. Nutty! Continue reading

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

Our window for wearing heavy, overly ornate cocktail dresses and gowns is closing – at least as far as the RL season goes. Soon we’ll be shedding tafettas, heavy silks and velvets for cotton damasks and chiffon.
But not quite yet. 🙂 Continue reading

There are a handful of creators who put out new releases at a discounted price upon release, for a limited time, or do one color in a discounted price for a limited time. Second Wave Apparel is one of those, and I excitedly open her notices to see if the new goodies are something I want.
When I noticed the halter top came with panties to make it a retro-style swimsuit, I was sold. Continue reading

I was strolling around shopping one night, trying to decide if I wanted new shoes at Juicy, trying to decide if I wanted this or that, when I wandered into ICON. Featuring jewelry in sets and bags, and other accessories, I was surprised I hadn’t found them before. The purses are what first caught my eye and somehow I got out with one though! How’d THAT happen?
But I did get THIS! Continue reading

People shop at different places for different reasons. I shop at Digit Darkes religiously because it was the first nice store I ever went to. I remember being in awe at how pretty the clothes were, and how amazing the shoes were. Such a step up from the freebie box crap I was wearing. Continue reading

Our friend Maht had a gallery showing of his photography a couple of weeks ago and I wanted to pick up something new to wear but wasn’t made of lindens that day.
It’s days like that, when I say “Thank God for Bare Rose”. The prices area always excellent and you get a nice assortment of colors of most styles that you purchase. This dress came in three colors (I think, truthfully it could’ve been four) and was so boobariffic I had to rock my LOLA shape with it. Continue reading
