I Got The Boogie Fever, I Got To Boogie Down

 

Posted by Gidge Uriza

I didn’t have any plans for New Years Eve, but when QXI Gears invited me over for an informal get together with friends, I wanted to wear something festive even if it wasn’t a “formal” event. Digit Darkes Nicole dress with it’s bright splashes of color was exactly what I wanted. Continue reading

Another Woman's Dress

posted by Gidge Uriza

There is this really terrible movie, but it has one really memorable scene in it (one of the only that isn’t gratuitous sex), the movie is called Wild Orchid. In it, a female and a male are having this raucous affair – and the male is an old friend of the female’s boss – who is also a lady. Ok, got the set up?

The guy and the girl come to the point where they say the I <3 You and he says to her something like “I loved you from the first moment I ever saw you, wearing another woman’s dress.” Continue reading

Memoirs of a Sweetaholic

posted by Gidge Uriza

My box of Christmas Gifts from Cajsa included gift cards to Sweetaholic.  So she says to me the other night “Have you been to Sweetaholic?” and I mumble no, really – thinking with a name like that – it’s gotta be some booboo kitty-emo-harajuku-Batz Maru kinda joint. With big puffy t-shirts.

Or something.

Yeah, I was wrong about that one. Continue reading

A Skin Fit For A Fairy Queen

posted by Gidge Uriza

I still have a penchant for fairy things, from my days as the Vicious Fairy (some might say I rather secretly still AM the Vicious Fairy), and when Cajsa and I threw a Winter Fairy Ball last year, nothing but the queen of the fairies would do for me.

And when I got the notice that Hart had released a beautiful FROZEN Linda make up for group members…..I knew exactly what dress that skin deserved. Continue reading

Sometimes, I Just Find Stuff on the Floor

posted by Gidge Uriza

Wandering the grid, I’m prone to finding leftover hunt items sitting about. This is especially true around holidays, and I know how it can be. I once left Easter Eggs sitting out around Vicious Island for over a month – because I forgot where I hid them + Cajsa and I were really busy hosting two HUGE themed events per week.

I am usually terribly delighted when I find these things though, as my schedule rarely permits me to participate in “hunts” on a regular basis. Continue reading

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
