Orange You Glad It's October?

posted by Gidge Uriza

The month of my birth, the month of All Hallows Eve, the true beginning of fall in my mind all pull me toward shades of orange and brown every year. Both in RL (sitting here right now decked out in BROWN) and SL the palette of my wardrobe takes a shift this time of year.

Okay okay, NOT this dramatic. Continue reading

Show Some Skin

posted by Gidge Uriza

Cajsa warned you I had new skins! 🙂 There isn’t a pixel day that goes by that I don’t THANK GOD for my now SL Dead Blingtard friends who only ever took me shopping at X3D (now Digit Darkes).  Because if it weren’t for them, I wouldn’t be wearing some absolutely gorgeous, radiant new skins.

I was trying to get off to bed last night when word of the hunt at Diversity came and I braved another hour online (despite it being day two at a new job!) to make the best of it! The new skins are simply radiant and the variety of make up options are truly myriad. Continue reading

Fall's Fancy

posted by Gidge Uriza

Laynie Link had a tremendous sale a few weeks ago, where she got rid of a lot of her older fashions to make room for new pieces.  I took advantage and had to expand all of my closets because of it, I tell you. This beautiful fall colored set – Hibiscus Dreams – is separates so you can pick up the skirt or shirt or both. Where can you get them? Both are still available on ONREZ lucky girls.

The skirt has a texture like crushed silk, it’s lovely and has a beautiful swaying action when you walk…..very delicate and lady like. Continue reading

Hello, We're the ARC Police

Weve Got System Skirts - And Were Not Afraid to Use Them

We've Got System Skirts - And We're Not Afraid to Use Them

Posted by Gidge Uriza

In the middle of a shoot the other night Cajsa and I both got the group notice that there was about to be a fashion show – in approximately 30 minutes. We decided we would finish up the shoot and then slip into something LOW ARC yet fashionably acceptable, and roll over to see the show. It was designer we both adore so we were really looking forward to it.

28 minutes and 147 hairstyles reviewed by Cajsa later we were dressed and ready to go. So we pop over to the show.

Music is My Aeroplane

Sometimes I get a review pack from someone I’ve never heard of, and this can be the most fun of all. It’s like being given a bag of treasure. There are so many places to shop on The Grid, you couldn’t EVER hit them all simply due to the fact that places open and close faster than you could complete your list.

I think that’s sort of exciting and daunting at the same time. Continue reading

Cajsa came up with the theme for this hottie look when I was wanting to shoot some lingerie…the location inspired it I’m sure…..as this place seems about ready for the family to descend to wait for Big Daddy to die.

Wearing Simone!’s Hot Tin Roof Slip dress I escaped the family drama to cool off down by the river. After all, if I’m Maggie…..I’ve clearly got crazy family to escape. Continue reading

When Alice07 Barzane announced that the Peppermint Blue 1 Year Anniversary Party was going to be a Western Theme……I knew where I was going to turn. While I LOVE the fun of just hunting up stuff via search (I actually do) – looking up stores I might not have heard of etc to see what they have, I’d been looking for a reason to pick up WASTELAND COWGIRL from Bare Rose for quite a while.

I don’t normally look for a reason to pick up clothes, but this kind of falls into the “Costume” milieu of my closet and I don’t generally just collect costumes without cause. Yet, from the instant I saw this one on Phil’s place posted by Tori….I knew I wanted it. Pink Leather Chaps?!?! PLEASE! Continue reading

Reflections of The Way Life Used To Be

 

Reflections of The Love You Took From Me

Reflections of The Love You Took From Me

posted by Gidge Uriza

Through the mirror of my mind
Time After Time
I see reflections of you and me………

Happiness you took from me
And left me alone

With only memories

This new Reflections Dress from Digit Darkes is so elegant yet so overpoweringly sentimental, I immediately started singing the old Supremes song when I put it on. This is a dress for a night of elegance and romance.  I am wearing “Festival” and the name belies the depth of the dress.  It’s bold feathery skirt and elegant feminine bodice are a visual contrast that is even more emphasized by the drop waist.
