In Dreams

So you may not know this, but I never delete anything. If you’ve sent it to me, I’ve got it (unless you sent it via subscribo or deliverator and I was capped).

Ok that is a partial lie, I did delete my Okina prim vajayjay that a mommyblogger friend bought me on like day two on The Grid. It was hideous, freaky, and despite being good for gags like making it pee in the middle of rooms suddenly, I really didn’t need it. (ok sometimes that might be fun to have back – /me considers all the places I could suddenly pee on the floor).  I also on occasion delete things which are too hideous to contemplate further,but this is rare.

But I digress………..

This is valid information because it’s how I arived at today’s outfit. Digging through my inventory going “Hmmm, what haven’t I worn?” I found a box from DREAMS – from my friend Sanura Snowpaw. I pulled it out and tried on everything and ended up leaving on the corset top and the collar……I was gonna be  a neko girl for fun but then I found this cart item at the photo studio and it didn’t work. Mebbe next time! Continue reading →

Ethereal Fangitude

Leave a reply

I always have the best time styling Blueblood releases. I probably take longer on them than almost anyone, because I am always trying to Barbie-doll them to be ironic or step out of my pink Mattel box and take them in a different direction than my comfort zone requires.

Just as I can rave about how Sascha Frangilli gives me oodles of options in my ballgowns (just see previous posts from me AND Cajsa- raving is aplenty) Ghanima Uriza (my favorite Uriza cousin)rocks my world as far as styling options for her releases. I’d be hard pressed to really shoot them all.

Yes. I Bite.

In Which I Match the Dance Floor

Leave a reply

Gidge’s husband Silo had his Rez Day party on Saturday. Since I was DJ’ing, I went over early to put out a couple dance balls and noticed that Gidge had put out a psychedelic dance floor that reminded me of a new dress I got at Baiastice. Suddenly, I knew I just had to wear that dress that matched the dance floor – and so, here it is – the Yoyce Dress from Baiastice.

It's Black, It's White……

Ok so just like Cajsa said below……..the options that Sascha Frangilli gives us in each item we buy from her are staggering, release after release.  As a blogger, I spend more time figuring out which pieces to wear, how to wear them together – or whether to just shoot them ALL than actually shooting.

I admit it, though – it’s kinda fun.

The flexibility with the variety of styles of skirts offered, two pair of gloves, a bolero jacket option etc means that although Cajsa and I each blogged this today, neither of us are sporting it exactly the same way which I really like. 

This is a gorgeous spring outfit in either black or white – and as I look at the hat I’m reminded that the Kentucky Derby is coming up……..girls got your Derby Hats ready yet?

Responsive Designers

Whenever some new designer drops some promotional items on me and asks me to check them out and possibly blog them, I try the clothes on. I am always eager to find something new and to find new stores, so I enjoy getting these sorts of requests. Jag Voom of Page 3 dropped a few dresses on me the other day, including this delightful print sun dress. What really set this encounter apart, though was the response to a small criticism. Like more and more designers, Jag had made the prim pieces no mod. Thanks to differences in viewers, the prim pieces were a darker tint than the system pieces and I wanted to mod the prims so I could change that. I also wanted to move just one prim piece in the ruffle. I took a snapshot and sent it back, saying I would love to blog the dress, but only if the pieces were no mod to accomodate viewer and shape differences. The next time I logged in there was a lovely IM acknowledging the critique and sending a new, modifiable dress. That kind of responsiveness to the people will go far to make Page 3 a success – and make it easier for fashionistas of all shapes and viewers enjoy the clothing.

Yes. Those are pink marabou bunny slippers that I am wearing with this smexy ensemble from Seldom Blue.

Why?

I don’t really know.

I’m short of boudoir slippers. I NEED BOUDOIR SLIPPERS SOMEONE MAKE SOME PLEASE. I have a  great pair from Sn@tch and another great pair from a store that doesn’t exist………and well.

A high maintenance girl like me needs Boudoir slippers. Continue reading →

Dotty is as dotty does

Leave a reply

I have mentioned my love of polka dots before. I don’t know why, but they make me smile. No insult intended to squares and triangles and rhombi, but they just don’t press my happy button the way these lovely little round circles do. Polka dots often make me think retro and rockabilly. They make me think of Rizzo and Jive-Talkin’ and dancing the night away.  Certainly this fun little set of separates from A-Bomb would have made Rizzo happy any day of the week.

Chic Casual Comfort

Leave a reply

Casual comfort can be as chic as anything  – particularly when you use neutral colors that provide understated elegance to nearly every occasion or when you use luxurious textiles that just make you feel good. The neutral brown and beige can be a respite of calm for your eyes among all rainbow colors of spring fashions. The real luxury, though, comes from the use of cashmere, that fabric that makes you feel like your being hugged by nature.  Both the sweater and leggings are from Fishy Strawberry and are great investment separates. The bit of embellishment on the sweater is just a bonus that can help you choose accessories and makeup options.

Pink Shirt Day:How Bullies Made Me Gidge

Leave a reply

posted by Gidge Uriza

When I was in High School, I was plagued by being smart enough to take classes ahead of my own grade level. My sophomore year I ended up in a Senior Level biology class, and had this misfortune to take a seat in the midst of three jock bullies on day one of class.

I should’ve known, should’ve switched seats when I heard one of them whisper “This chick looks smart, let’s get her at our table she can do all the work.”

And our teacher, intimidated by the fact that at 17 years old these mongrols were man sized – turned the cheek as week after week they harrassed and bullied me.  They would steal my work and copy it, break anything of mine they could get their hands on. They’d pull stools out from under me so that I’d fall when I tried to sit down, poke me with pins so that I would move my arm that they could copy my work.

But the most annoying thing they’d do, believe it or not, was call me Gidget at first and then after weeks passed – Gidge. Oh my god their neanderthal brains thought that this was hilarious – as my RL name is Bridgette. THE SHEER WIT OF IT NEARLY COLLAPSED THEM WITH LAUGHTER. Continue reading →

<3 Pistachio

1 Reply

I have a weakness for pistachios. My sister-in-law would make this deadly concoction called Glorified Rice that you could not pay me to eat. Then she mixed pistachio-flavored Jello Instant Pudding with the Cool-Whip and it became not only edible, but delicious – particularly after removing the canned fruit and sticky sweet maraschino cherries. I know, it sounds horrific – but it had pistachios!!! That infatuation with pistachio extends to the color – so this gorgeous Apres-Midi dress from Baiastice was as irresistible as pistachio ice cream. That it comes with its own hat and gloves is just pistachio icing on the cake.
