And Then I Got a Custom Skin

posted by Gidge Uriza

Gogolita did a piece some time ago about the custom skin available at Soda Skin Designer and when I was at a loss for a “perfect” Christmas skin, I started scrolling through her history to find the piece – I HAD to have the perfect skin. Continue reading

Dress Me Up Challenge – Gidge in Harajuku by Candy Lemmon

posted by Gidge Uriza

I look at a lot of Harajuku in RL, the style fascinates me. So when I was challeged to do a Harajuku piece by Candy Lemmon, I immediately knew I wanted a big fluffy coat thing – I’ve been seeing them in mags slapped over the mismatched plaids and heavy handed cloth worn by the youth culture that defines Harajuku.

A big old silly fur coat. If I could find one in fun colors that’d be even better, but when I ran into this WHITE one, which was exactly what I wanted, a floofy white fur coat from Ookami Ningen I KNEW KNEW KNEW what I wanted to do.

I wanted to go Ice Skating. Continue reading

Cursed Stones Are The Perfect Holiday Gift

posted by Gidge Uriza

Abraxxa Anatine of Earthstones is one of my favorite jewelry designers on the grid, so when she gave me the opportunity to review her Tokon Chained cuffs and collar I knew which stones I’d wear.

October’s Cursed Stone – OPAL.

Roman tradition says that if you aren’t born in October, you will be CURSED for wearing this stone.  Having been BORN in October, I do like to rock the opals whenever I can – just to flaunt it at the jewelry gods and their silly rules.

Who knew the Romans had jewelry gods, anyway? Continue reading

If You Have To Ask, You Can't Afford Me

My husband, Silo Uriza, has interjected that I should postcript that title with “And I don’t put out either…..”  but you know. I sort of thought that might drive away any trade……..

Ever have hair that you love even though it’s a hot mess? There’s nothing ugly about this hair from CAKE – yet, I can’t help wanting to give myself a hot oil treatment everytime I see me in it. 

There is something so realisitically overprocessed about this hair – I can see the split ends, I swear.

I wasn’t originally putting together a hookerific outfit – I had picked up a freebie cocktail gown – Meshindo’s Gift – but, I had a problem with the skirt. And herein I have a confession. Continue reading

Dress Me Up – Gidge by Phire Zuhra

Took Me Long Enough to get Elfy – didn’t it? I’m having system issues, give me love.

So, Elfy.

Hmmm. I know some elves. And pixies of various sorts. Now, this condition is possibly only symptomatic of the elvies and pixes I know – but they are all consistently badly dressed. I’m not kidding. I wonder sometimes, if they don’t rock the BIAB clothes out of the role play sims and keep some fantastic costumes that I never get to see while fully into their Elf role play. Continue reading

Baby, It's COLD Outside

I seem to be collecting more sweaters this year – perhaps it’s because I’m spending more time wallowing in snowy builds that lend themselves to sensible, warm gear.  Cajsa introduced me to Boom and they were gracious enough to give me a yummy sweater to review.

You Can't Just Wear Some Armidi and Laqroki Hair and Skin, And Call Yourself a Fashion Blogger

posted by Gidge Uriza

*I’m Totally Paraphrasing that title…….I read it on SCD or somewhere – I swear I think it was SECRETS………….and it made me laugh………….and evil sort of “Hmmm, I should do that” sort of laugh…………

I wonder then, can I just wear Digit Darkes, PXL and Damelsfly?

The logowear conundrum is one that I tend to avoid because it reeks of poorly made freebies most of the time. But when it’s not – it can be a lot of fun. Digit’s logo is great in big rhinestones – it makes me think of the 80s when the name on your butt defined which table you could sit at during lunch. Continue reading

I Can TOO Wear White In Winter!

posted by Gidge Uriza

First off – it’s says it’s cream in my inventory folder. I swear.

I mean, with the full bright still turned on, on the prim skirt – okay maybe it WAS a little Lite Brite Light White…….but, I turned that off so see. CREAM! Continue reading

If Thanksgiving is Over, then CHRISTMAS IS HERE!

posted by Gidge Uriza

Remember what I said about loving a party dress? I was lucky enough to receive several review copy outfits from Chantkare and my first thought was WOW. When Cajsa blogged one, I thought WAAAAAH why didn’t I get anything from them? WAAAAH they like her better! But then, I realized I’d been offworld so much, who KNEW what I had and VOILA! There they were when I looked! Continue reading
