I hopped over to watch the Musashi-Do Fashion Show yesterday and wanting to be a good audience member, I dug in my closet a bit and slipped into a lovely bit of low arc clothing from Ingenue. The dress is Mama Loves Mambo and you know what, I do love the mambo. It’s a sexy shimmying song perfect for figure-hugging dresses like this one. The lovely sash down one side sways to the music and adds a lively touch to your dancing.

She flies through the air with the greatest of ease
The daring young woman on the pose prop trapeze.
Her movements were graceful, All the guys she would please
Flying so high on the Scribble pose prop trapeze.
It’s easy to be a successful trapeze artist when Scribble goes and provides you with such a wonderful animated trapeze. And with RunoRuno’s lovely five minutes to curtain outfit, you can be graceful and gorgeous at the same time.
Vaudeville was the great entertainment of the 1880’s to the 1930’s – a variety show of comedy, singers, musicians and any act that could fill the seats. American burlesque grew out of vaudeville and continues to this day with neo-burlesque geniuses like Dita Von Teese. The Designers United group have honored that heritage with their most recent exhibition and in that spirit, It’s Only Fashion is throwing a party tomorrow night at 8 pm at The Deck – graciously offered by Sasy Scarborough. It will feature vaudeville and burlesque music and some that could be.

I am not sure if there will be a traditional Black & White Ball for New Year’s in Second Life this year – unless I can persuade Gidge to throw one with me – but if there is, I know a perfect gown for it and it’s free. Saschi Vixen of Adam n Eve put out a marvelous gift gown for Christmas that really will rock any Black & White ball. I know New Year’s is pretty chilly though, so I added a shawl I snitched off a Donna Flora outfit called LoreDana for a little shoulder warmth.
Hybrid Ansar of Not Too Shabby did not know that I just selected a trove of red and black dresses from Modern Gypsy when she gave me this lovely prefab loft for Christmas. But seriously, if she had been reading my mind, she could not have chosen more perfectly. Small lofts like this often make great photo sets, but this one stands out for it’s brilliance as a piece of art. It made me feel so very high concept that I had to pull out my DARE poses – the most high concept poses in Second Life and get all arty with some of the Robert Longo poses and other poses from seminal photographers.

Donna Flora is participating in the Weekend Madness and has this cute lime green dress, Felicity on sale for 50L. I love Donna Flora, it’s one of my fave stops for picking up pretty feminine pieces. Continue reading
Donna Flora always makes wonderfully detailed and imagined dresses. This is a fabulous wool tweed jacket and skirt that dresses you up for strolling the best high fashion streets in the world.
One of the most adventurous designers in Second Life™ is AnaLee Balut of ALB Dream Fashion. Not only does she play with wild colors and prints, but she also experiments with the form of SL clothing – from making heavy sculptie coats and robes, to long flowing Empire waist dresses and everywhere in between. Her Lotta series of dresses are breathtakingly beautiful – each and every one. This is the honeydew print – that has the desaturated subtlety of a watercolor. There’s also an orange and a blue dress – and they are equally stunning.

I shot so much when doing the shoot for this dress from Sascha’s Designs – that I forgot what it was I was highlighting. The dress? The hair? The skin?
I couldn’t decide – there fore this post must be about them all.
The gorgeous ballgown is yet another brilliant offering from Sascha’s Designs, replete with a host of skirt options, shawl, jacket and top options that make purchasing just one color of this dress an outfit for several nights over. I chose to show you this beautiful peach because I was in a fall mood – but it comes in a rainbow of jewel tones that I can’t say enough about. They’re like candy.
As always the ballgown skirt option from Sascha has gorgeous movement – those of you who love the ballroom scene know how annoying it is to get a great big old gorgeous skirt that doesn’t move worth a damn- obviously no issue here! Continue reading
