The beautiful Princess Odette, immortalized by the ballet SWAN LAKE, has been freed from her cursed life as a swan by the beautiful Sevina Gown by Ivalde.
Surrounded by Ethereal Ghosts of the Swans who served as her family and captors…….Odette spins and dances her joy upon being set free.
At least, that was my first thought upon seeing this new release from Ivalde and getting an invitation to request a review item from Beulah! Continue reading

Our window for wearing heavy, overly ornate cocktail dresses and gowns is closing – at least as far as the RL season goes. Soon we’ll be shedding tafettas, heavy silks and velvets for cotton damasks and chiffon.
But not quite yet. 🙂 Continue reading

There are a handful of creators who put out new releases at a discounted price upon release, for a limited time, or do one color in a discounted price for a limited time. Second Wave Apparel is one of those, and I excitedly open her notices to see if the new goodies are something I want.
When I noticed the halter top came with panties to make it a retro-style swimsuit, I was sold. Continue reading

The Pink Plainers by Shiny Things that Tesa used were the building blocks of my fashionable relay challenge entry. I cannot resist the opportunity to hose myself down in girly pepto-bismol pink.
I thought it only fitting that a trip to PINK OUTFITTERS ended in a super girly pink look, to top off these excellent shoes. 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

Characters: Silo Uriza and Gidge Uriza’s RL selves, each logged into their own PC side by side.

RL Silo Leans over and glances at RL Gidge’s screen and says, “Where are you shopping?”
Gidge Replies, “Merlynn’s Closet.”
Silo returns to Civ, asking “Oh, got a lot of pointy hats do they?”
Gidge looks over, “Remarkably few, actually.”
END SCENE Continue reading

I was strolling around shopping one night, trying to decide if I wanted new shoes at Juicy, trying to decide if I wanted this or that, when I wandered into ICON. Featuring jewelry in sets and bags, and other accessories, I was surprised I hadn’t found them before. The purses are what first caught my eye and somehow I got out with one though! How’d THAT happen?
But I did get THIS! Continue reading

I love skins that have LIPS I CAN SEE (like this one) and eyeshadow that interests me. I’m not always so into the artsy eyes, but once in a while one will catch my eye. What I like most of all, though, is make up that is interesting enough to catch your eye without being garish.
RESULT!
I am afraid that the Fashion Mafia may revoke my card if I admit this aloud – but this is indeed my FIRST skin from Adam n Eve. Continue reading

When I lived with my best friend Laura, we were avid watchers of Absolutely Fabulous. One of our great hoots was how Edina could wear the most hideous thing, and she’s whine “It’s LA CROIX SWEETIE!” and Patsy would demur,”It’s FABULOUS.”
We’d do that to one another almost daily, peels of laughter ringing out through our roach ridden apartment.
So it’s funny to me, a bit, that when I put on anything new from Tres Jolie, my first instinct is ALWAYS – “It’s FABULOUS!” and I’m always worried people will think I mean it in that AbFab way…which couldn’t be further from the truth. Continue reading
