There is a rule as a blogger that you have to shoot at Chouchou at least once before you die. Now that’s I’ve accomplished this, I resign from blogging. Okay kidding I don’t. But it was fun to go over there and swoop around looking at all the awesome space and vignettes. Continue reading
that’s what’s wrong with you. You should be kissed, and often, and by someone who knows how.”

One of the hallmarks of a true artist is the familiarity their style and work imparts to us as the recipient of their work. A trained ear might know Mozart, Bach, or Debussy the moment the chords are struck. A dilettante might simply recognize the style, Romantic, Baroque, Classical. But true artists have a style that is unmistakable as their own. Continue reading
I met Alicia Chenaux on Plurk, though I had read her blog for a long time before that. I should say blogs since she has a fun journaling blog where she chronicles her Second Life adventures as well as her fashion blog. I first began paying attention to her blog when she began her 365 Project which was such a huge commitment. I don’t know if I would commit to blog for a full year even after blogging for four years. For me, it’s so much easier to do something than to say I will do something, because then I really have to. I admire people who have the will to make that kind of commitment up front. I also admire the kind of openness and vulnerability that journaling blogs require. It, too, requires a commitment beyond what I would do.
I was looking forward to seeing Alicia’s outfit because she’s a former model and I knew that work history would translate into an impeccable outfit that was perfectly fitted. And I was right from every Elikatira hair on her head to the GField shoes on her feet, everything is perfectly fitted. Her outfit seemed perfect for sightseeing and wandering the streets in the fashionable city of Venice which you can find on the Prada sim. I could see her modeling skills at work as she positioned herself on the dock by the gondolas while I was flailing around in the river after falling off the dock a few times. In fact, I had to run inside one of the stores and dry off while she patiently waited.
1965 was a strange year in fashion with the advent of bell-bottoms and granny dresses, one-shouldered sari dresses and metallic catsuits, flowing paisleys and the Mondrian dress. It was also the year of Edie Sedgwick, declared the “It Girl” by Vogue. Sedgwick was a fashion original with a free and rebellious style. She wore tights with nearly everything and added huge chandelier earrings, heavy eyeliner and a casual short moptop cut. She has an ease and freedom to her that made her captivating in photos. How perfect, then, is this Sedgwick dress from Ingenue for Collabor88.

It’s Not Easy Being Green
It seems you blend in with so many other ordinary things
And people tend to pass you over
cause you’re not standing out
Like flashy sparkles in the water
Or stars in the sky
But green is the color of spring
and green can be cool and friendly like
and green can be big like a mountain
or important like a river
or tall like a tree
This song made me think of creators who truly make nice, very well made items that might not be THE BIG GUNS you see releasing news at Modavia. They’ve got talent, they’ve got verve but they’re not the big fashion houses we’ve spent the past week drooling over.
Regardless, there are some brands that release fun and pretty pieces that are just as NOT TO BE MISSED as anything else. The precious dress from SOMNIA is a great example. Released in MYRIAD colors and on basically EVERY LAYER POSSIBLE (good god Sanura when do you SLEEP) this is a great example that there are gems laying about.
You just have to get out and go shopping. 🙂
And, dig the awesome guillotine necklace from Bewildebeest and the new statement ring from Dark Mouse. SWEEET New Jewelry Is SWEEEET.
GO SHOPPING!

It’s a quickie today while I’m a busy bee in the RL. But did you know that Cool Beans released HAIR? It’s a sweet little do and you know, it came in pink so I was ALL about that.
Ingenue has released the Sedgewick dress which reminds me of Hedgewick and I can’t recall who Hedgewick is. This release is for the Collabor88 event which is either a weekly sale or a monthly sale or a one time event.
I can’t keep them all straight anymore.
Regardless, it’s from Ingenue and that = CUTE regardless.
And with that, I’m out.

I want to jump off the roof with everyone else. I do. I want to drink the Kool Aid. But, I get all nervous about change.
So, my first make-out session with MESH is with a set of bags by Maxwell Graf the creator at BITCH.
I totally fangirl him btw. Please don’t tell him. Because I try to be all like casual around him. Continue reading
It’s true. I’m head to toe in gacha items from the ALBERO SUMMER GACHA FESTIVAL.
My love of Gacha is 100% Elusyve’s fault as she introduced me to it and now it’s like crack to me. JUST ONE MORE HIT. Continue reading
I have a good friend who’s mother is a bit of a nut. A loveable, quirky, 3D force of nature nut. Example, when we were in school, the soap dispenser in the bathroom of their house was a cock and balls. You had to squeeze the balls to get the soap to come out of the tip.
Yes, she was single. Continue reading
