Fabulous Fashion TV – It's Fabulous!

I spent a ridiculous amount of time agonizing over what to wear during my 8 minutes of fame on Fabulous Fashion TV.  In addition to being unbelievably disorganized, confused and tardy during the entire process – I was nervous.

Unbelievably so.

I ended up wearing PXL Creations Nails instead of these Black Nails

I ended up wearing PXL Creations Nails instead of these Black Nails

Here is the kind of paranoid crap that ran through my mind.

  • Who should I wear?
  • Will someone be insulted if I DON’T wear them?
  • Should I wear what I’m talking about or not?
  • What sort of look should I go for?
  • Should I go for any look at all?
  • Would Would Joan Jett Do?

So all this aside, I decided to embrace the stylists credo (after all I was the guest stylist although I wasn’t doing Angie Mornington’s hair) and wear all black. They do this to minimize their own fabulousness and to make it all about YOU – if you’ve ever wondered why some do that. Really upscale places tend to (or neutral colors). Continue reading →

Casual Friday +Plus SPORK!

So what’s fun about plurk is that you get to talk to all sorts of people throughout SL that you might never meet otherwise.  And you get a chance to talk to creators a lot and if you get REALLY lucky somethings they throw out a “Hey Who Wants to check this out” kinds plurk and you can go ME ME ME ME! and pick up something cool – often before it’s release.

But mostly what’s fun is just the random banter, and the chatter of a group of voices who are becoming friendsd. Who kid and tease and joke with one another.

Which is how I got this outfit. Continue reading →

SLink Sexy for Thursday Night

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 →

Lemania has this one available all week for free to her group. So if you have a ballgown monkey on your back, I think you should know by now that you can FEED that monkey by joining Lemania’s group and basking in the goodness she’s giving away both weekly and daily.

Run don’t walk. This one is only available until the end of the week. It’d be lovely for a special date this weekend, wouldn’t it?

The Way I Feel About You -It Just Can't Be Wrong!

I’m so fortunate that my best friend has exquisite taste and style. What that means is that I never get drug along on shopping trips where I go “Ummm, DO NOT WANT/KTHANXBY.”   Instead of going “Oooooh, Oh DO WANT! DO WANT!”

Both Modern Gypsy and Exile are places like that for me. I wouldn’t have wandered in without Cajsa and now I’m addicted to their goodness.  This short casual dress is called Desertmoon but at first I thought it said “dessert moon” and it put me in mind of  dessert cafes of my 20s.

A Velvet Sunday

Our friend Maht was dj-ing at the Velvet a couple of weeks ago and I actually was able to get in world during the day, so I thought I’d pop over and visit my friends and listen to his set.

This was exactly the excuse I needed to pull out these plaid pants from Little Rebel. The set comes with three pair of pants and this tintable tank and was exactly the sort of comfy/indie look I wanted at the Velvet that afternoon. Continue reading →

Lady In Red Gets Swept Away

Adam & Eve is one of those stores I NEVER shop at enough. I don’t know why. Maybe because it’s not one of those stores that got ingrained in me when I was a noob. It’s certainly not for lack of quality – it’s lovely stuff. And it’s not because of the creator being a jerk – far from it – Sachi Vixen has never been anything but lovely to me.

Why do I always forget to shop there? I have to rectify it.  Note to self, go back to Adam & Eve tonight and find something pretty!

Keep It Simple, Stupid

I’m not normally a big fan of “natural” makeups on skins, that au natural look that is so 2008.  But some people do it well. My first thought when trying on Rykers Genesis-Eden skin in the 1st Time makeup was – Beach Face!

Ok ok ok, it’s not SL Beach Face.

But, it’s sort of MY beach face. In RL. Pale skin, freckled by the sun, pink lips – clear complexion.  It’s obviously meant to convey a very natural wholesome beauty and I think that Ryker really achieved that with this – giving definition and form to what is often a washed out nude on other skins.

Martini Time at Jack & Belle's

My social season may be off, because just when “The Season” should be wrapping up for RL – I’m suddenly social butterfly this weekend.  I had logged in on Friday night to putz about and received an invitation to Belle LeFavre and her husband Jackson’s party they were hosting.

I wasn’t dressed properly but had picked up several cocktail type dresses at Little Rebel recently so I picked out one called Martini Time and popped over. Continue reading →
