When I picked up my fatpack of Alto tone skins at Symphony Skins – I told creator Claire Harford that I was gonna rummage through inventory and break them out in some bikinis to show them off. They’re gorgeous with nice femme tummies and no muscle-y shadowing while still looking quite fit.
Plus she included a cleavage version with some monster cleavage going on – this one’s for the …….boys! (Or girls if that’s how you roll). Continue reading
AvaGardner Kungler passed me a pair of dresses yesterday, both called Jackie. The black one is above and I am certain I need not identify who inspired the dresses. I love that era’s clothing with the simple elegance typified by Jackie Kennedy. I tried on the the black dress first, loved it and shot the photos for the blog before trying on the second – the Jackie Red which came as a surprise to be because although it was the same cut and style, it was a print – a fabulous pop print that immediately made me want to shoot it too. Not wanting to do the exact same thing twice, I decided to shoot a remix and post them together.
The skirt is from the original Kunglers Jackie dress. I added a sweater from Fleur and a belt from Ornamental Life. Jean Shrimpton was the super-model of the early 60’s. In face, she might rightfully be considered the first international SuperModel – preceding Twiggy by a few years. She was the face of pop fashion and so I decided to style this more for Jean Shrimpton – the Shrimp.
Something about this dress makes me think of burlesque halls, saloons and the cancan. I expect to see Toulouse Lautrec popping up out of the floor and saying “Beauty. Freedom. Truth.” However, I still wanted to shoot outdoors so I went to Athan Selidor on the sim Athan.
The details in the dress from Fumi are stunning. It comes with the hat, stockings, prim garters, prim sleeves, a prim skirt and the prim sash with flowers. What drew me to the dress was the lovely wine color and the rich textural details in the lace, the sleeves and the skirt.

The L$50 linden sale is over but the gorgeous items at Pixel Dolls continue to fill my closet. I had a hard time choosing between two new offerings but picked up this one because I thought it had a fun vintage feel to it. Continue reading
Well, I was technically in Error when I shot these pictures – in the Error sim, that is. I really wanted to share with you this beautiful sim. Certainly, it’s not conventional beauty rife with flowers and greenery and lush with life, but a desolate beauty that draws you in. I decided to wear the Creamshop Dalmation dress because its colors were so well-matched to the colors of the island.

Green leopard boots with color change gems? Are you serious? I don’t understand why these didn’t give me a CALL to come over and fetch them. These boots were one of my MANY green pickups during Callie’s big green L$99 sale – and then I added the jeans when she had her big L$10 sale right after.
She’s had some amazing sales lately. Continue reading

So I had never been to SLink till Cajsa bought me prim feet the other day. But I was enamored by her monochromatic styles and the rich, jewel tones of her textures.
Consequently I had to go back. My friend QXI Gears was having an art exhibit (which I did not make SHAKES FIST AT RL!!!) but I wanted something slinky and sexy as QXI does erotic art (which will make your head explode, your eyes pop out and turn you on in ways which disturb you).
So, I decided pairing up a couple of my new pieces from SLink would exactly fit the bill.
So were you like me, and went to ETD and bought every flippin hairstyle she made since god was a boy – back when she had her big sale? And are you like me now buying every damn thing you see that is new? I found this – and forgot I had it. I thought it was kind of a fun and messy ‘do for the look.
Maybe a little JBF? Continue reading

I’ve got some strict rules in my life. One of which is that when watching musicals, you are required to sing along, with gusto, any song you know. My Fair Lady is probably one of the harder pull off as the ridiculous soprano is impossible to sing but – you get the point.
You must sing. LOUD. With Feeling.
I could’ve DAAAAAAAAAAAAAANCED ALL NIGHT…….like that. Continue reading

This tribute to the glamour of old Hollywood – called GINGER ROGERS is a dollarbie which wraps up TODAY at about 8am SLT. Ginger had to do everything Fred Astair did……..except she had to do it backwards and in heels. Now WHO was the better dancer?
This heavy black dress is simple and timeless and is going to be retired as of about 8am SLT-ish……..TODAY. Continue reading

It was at Ray Skin that I was Serenaded by a foreigner, crooner tunes by the PLEASUREMAN Gunther and I have to admit it was distracting. After all, despite liking an outfit, I like to sort of understand it as well. And I couldn’t concentrate on figuring this out with all the “oooo you touched my tra-la-la” going on.
I have no idea what this is.
I mean, I LIKE IT. I actually like it a lot. I like the color and the construction but like…….Retro? Vintage? Neko? Harajuku? Barbie Armegeddon? Urban Primitive? (ok not the last one) Continue reading
