I’ve been a bit slaggy and worn out since the Blogher Conference (being logged into SL because you have to is soooo different that because you want to) and decided I needed some time to just rest. Cajsa suggested a quiet country motel with lots of fresh air and good, “salt of the earth” people.
I think I’ve found JUST the place. Waddya think? 🙂 Continue reading

After my first few days in SL it became apparent that I wasn’t in Kansas anymore, so when sent off to buy “one decent pair of shoes” I found myself again the old X3d (now Digit Darkes) and walked right up to her DOROTHY shoes it seemed fortuitous. Realizing that these shoes would not match ANYTHING I owned, I think I made the decision then and there that all future purchases were going to have to MATCH my GOOD SHOES.
The Blingtard Crew I hung out with at the time (they are all dead to me now so I disparage them freely) were horrified by my shoe choice. “What do they GO with?” “Do they have a bling option?” “You could’ve gotten TWO pair of shoes for that price!” Continue reading

I always blame my overdressing on my old friend Jenn Lemmon. She was a courtesan at the Moulin Rouge and she was a notorious OVER dresser. I told her once how much I envied her fantastic gowns, and that I wasn’t going to an event at Moulin Rouge one night because I just didn’t have the clothes for it…….and she laughed.
“Oh Gidge, don’t base your wardrobe on me. I ALWAYS overdress for everything.”
“Always Overdress for Everything” became my mantra the night she gave me L$1500 as a gift to go to Indyra to buy a wild pink gown complete with top hat. I fell in love with fun/nice clothes and HERE WE ARE. Continue reading

I am probably one of the only ones in SL who is old enough to REMEMBER the Isis/Shazaam power hour but I promise you, it was one of the GREAT moments of Saturday morning television during my childhood.
I popped into Prinny’s Prims jewelry based on a Fashcon notice several days ago because I’d never heard of her and I always need new jewelry. She had advertised a sweet freebie (not pictured) but while wandering the store I saw THIS – THE ISIS NECKLACE!!! Continue reading

It all started with the shirt. I was surfing around onrez looking for something – I dunno what – just SOMETHING when I used the sort filter and looked at the freebies. This cute little tank just jumped out at me and I knew it’d rock with my candy belt that Miffy made.

I finally picked up the free tshirts for this year’s Blogher in Second Life event.
What to do with a free tshirt?
I don’t WEAR Tshirts In World for the most part, except for my PRIM WHORE shirt from Weird Shit so really…..now what? I’m speaking this year – I’m kind of OBLIGATED to do something with this aren’t I?
TA DA! I figured it out! Continue reading

I ran over to Lemania when I got a notice she had a new dollarbie out – after how spectacular the FIREWORKS dress was I knew she’d cooked up something fantastic.
In honor of PAHFEST coming to Second Life she’s created a MOTOWN series and this one she set out in her celebration hall for a linden. I was totally channeling my inner Aretha as I strutted around in this sexy little number. Lemania has a notecard giver out at her location with all of the details of the SL version of Pahfest, concert line up etc! So check it out – because it’s going to be a fun live event!

No, I don’t think that’s hyperbole. I am not a denim lover. I don’t own jeans in RL, when I need to dress casual, I like a nice cotton duck or serge, not denim. So, falling in love with anything denim is a small miracle. But who could resist this delightfully spunky and sassy denim skirt? The prim connection and fit is perfect without even a wiggle’s worth of adjustment. The colors match, the seams line up and it all adds up to a beautiful and perky little summer skirt.Â

Maht celebrated his RL Bday a few days ago by holding a small listening party for his friends, where we gathered and enjoyed his music. It was a great opportunity to break out this piece from Kungler’s, which has retro-store chic written all over it. My grandma’s pearls with a big flowery broach added to an elegant shrug jacket top off the form fitting pinstripe pants – to me this outfit brings a modern cut to a 50s pansuit. As though I were wealthy, walked into Chanel and said.”I saw this pantsuit in Time Magazine from 1952 – can you spin me out a modern version?” Continue reading
I am wearing two treasure hunt finds now, the skin comes in pouch #15 and there are three skins in the set, with pink, purple and a multi-color (gold/green) makeup. I thought the pink for flattering for this dress, but was really intrigued by the makeup on the colors version. The dress is the gift in pouch #1 – a creamy moire satin with delicious jeweled details on the bodice and straps. I turned full bright off on the skirt prim to photograph it and will leave it off for wearing as I prefer my clothes to not be full bright, most of the time.
