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

Okay, there isn’t a party in my pants. I just wanted to use that line.
I picked up an outfit to wear snowboarding, and kept wanting Cajsa to shoot it, but this was the third or 4th outfit I pulled out that I had saved and this STILL Wasn’t it.
Sigh. But It’s cute, isn’t it? Again from RAY SKIN, again a dollarbie I think this one may have been in the back of the store beyond the courtyard. It was actually NEAR the snowboards – thus my confusion. Continue reading

Shopping with Cajsa the other night, we flitted to one store after another from the feeds, looking for something she wanted.
I forget what.
But what did happen is that each time we went to another store……there I was picking up SOMETHING cute and new. My 5 minutes at CRAVE were no different.
This complete outfit from CRAVE includes torn jeans, striped tee and a distressed Urban Bomber Jacket. 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

Red and pink have been the color of the season so I was kind of tickled to see such an icy winter blue being given away at Lemania to her group. Like so many of her designs, it’s a fancy – there’s nothing practical about it.
Which is exactly what I like. Good grief why play on the Grid and be PRACTICAL? (note – I think this dress is being retired also based on the description on it) Continue reading

I’m clearly on a Diva Kick. I told Cajsa I was dressing up as Patti LaBelle but I must’ve been LISTENING to Patti but thinking Chaka because this girl obviously sings for Rufus.
I swear to GOD I saw her in this dress on You Tube.
Who knew Chaka Khan shopped at Casa del Shai? 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

There are a handful of jewelers in SL I really like. Bliensen and MaiTai have a special place in my heart, I must confess, because they sent me the first review pack of jewelry I ever got. I still feel the damn way if they send me something, too. “OOO! ME? WHAT? You sent ME a present?” Delight & joy, like Christmas for a grown up pixel girl.
So you can IMAGINE how perplexed I was when I found this darling necklace sitting in my inventory, and that I not only hadn’t worn it – I hadn’t SHOWN YOU! What a doofus. Continue reading
