Digit's Egyptian Revival

Leave a reply

I am always curious what Digit Darkes will do for festivals like the Digital Alchemy show at Kings Rezzable. Her design sensibility is so strong that you know that no matter where or what the initial inspiration, the ultimate design will be recognizably and indisputably hers. To be clear, that’s not saying she is uninfluenced by her inspirations – but rather that she never allows her source of inspiration to limit her design and that is truly the spirit of Egyptian Revival fashion. In essense, then with Digit’s design you have Egyptian Revival for 2009.

Theda Bara's Dress

Leave a reply

Another favorite from the Digital Alchemy celebration of Egypt was this marvelous gown from Laughing Academy that wholeheartely embraced the multiple influences of the Art Deco Egyptian Revival movement. By designing a dress as an homage to Theda Bara, Laughing Academy frankly places the gown right smack in the middle of that movement.

But they’re guaranteed to raise a smile.
So may I introduce to you
The act you’ve known for all these years,
Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.

The Store I Lost

Once Upon a Time, Cajsa TP’d me into a store. It was fully of elegant, delicious ballgown-goodness. There were some fastastic dollarbies (piles of gowns from older releases for about 5L) and a neat viewer that rotated THROUGH was was in the freebie boxes so you could SEE them. I thought this was  a great touch – how often do you get home with a hideous freebie? This way, you only pick up the one you want.

And I BOUGHT one, this EXCELLENT GREEN GOWN! I had an event to wear it to. Continue reading →

Snuggly comfort can be stylish  – something beautifully demonstrated with this skirt from Miu and the sweater set from DP YumYum. Lovely  little details like the tie on the skirt or the differently colored buttons on the sweater show designers who pay attention to the nuances of style and share a little wink of delight with their customers.

How many review items can one girl wear in a post? Let’s find out!

All of them?! YES!

The new Bebae Valentine release skins are really very glamorous – maybe fancier than this sweater pants combo warranted but I’m having trouble taking them off lately.  Continue reading →

Okay okay okay. The dress is FERNANDA – not FERNANDO. Perhaps Fernanda is the one singing? Remembering that fateful night they crossed the Rio Grande? What were Swedes doing in Mexico fighting for Independence? I’m so confused.

ANYWAY…… Continue reading →

*please read all the way through, I really do know how to spell Ensemble**
Responding to some recent grousing about “unknown designers” not getting enough play in the fashion blogs, I decided to spend some of my free time specifically going to stores I didn’t know. Just looking up random search terms and TP’ing in. Looking, in fact, for that diamond that simply has not been mined yet.

I ended up in some scary places and a ton of BIAB store. Hoohoo. Yeah, oh and some orgy rooms. But I digress. Continue reading →

Casual Friday – It's A-Bomb

I love it when a designer (especially one I’m not all that familiar with) throws out a new release with ONE color a little cheaper. I think it’s a great alternative to a freebie. We get to check you out and see if we like your work and you still get a payment, albeit token, for your work. I know if I like your work – I won’t hesitate to come back and pick up the color I love.

Running Round the Metaverse

Leave a reply

So I spent a portion of the weekend running around, going shopping, going to sims, checking my landmarks thinking I would clean them up. I had big plans for the weekend in terms of getting my inventory under control (did not happen) but I did check out and delete some landmarks – mourning the loss of some wonderful sims and art installations lost in the whole openspaces change.  When I hop around from place to place, I like some comfortable clothes like these that make me feel ready for anything.
