Sunday was a casual day for me – at least at first. It opened with my morning set at The Velvet. Two hours of jazz from old and new greats such as Stan Getz and Sonny Williams to Andy Sheppard. I love my Sunday morning sets because they start the day off right. However, I then was asked if I would DJ a gallery opening for Stephen Venkman’s new show at Patron. I didn’t have any pressing plans that could not be delayed, so I agreed and am so glad I did. The artwork was amazing and it was fun to pull together a photo-centric set together.

Curio: Party Girl Celebration and Settlement Frustration
Like many other fashionistas who have long enjoyed and appreciated Gala Phoenix’s skins, I was thrilled to read that a settlement had been reached and Curio’s doors are open once again. To celebrate, Gala released an entire pack of her skins, with all the makeups and all the tones, to her in-world group. What a generous gift, especially in celebration of what must have been a very frustrating process. I think many people are feeling frustrated. I know I have mixed emotions. My celebration that Curio has returned to the grid is tempered by the very real disappointment that the settlement precludes the storybook verdict and vindication that all the courtroom dramas promise us.
The Great Wall of China
I visted the Great Wall of China during my first month in Second Life five years ago and it was always a wonderful place to go. That’s why I was sad to read that it and three companion sims owned by Amiryu Hosoi may be forced to close. Please stop by and drop off a donation in the box at the landing point and don’t forget to shop at her store, Hosoi Design, if you’re looking for Japanese furnishings, prefabs and decor.
New Donna Flora for Vintage Fair
Donna Flora added another dress to their Vintage Fair offerings. It’s a luscious little dress released in ten colors (See vendor pic 1 and pic 2.) including this glorious gold silk charmeuse. It’s amazing how beautifully shiny the silk is, but then you see the inset piping around the breasts and at the waist, and just have to marvel at Squinternet Larnia’s texturing ability.
I can’t think of a title….
Some people are super anti template. I don’t really care as long as it’s been textured really well. I mean, you just throw a silly plain color on it and I’m not digging it. I’m not 100% certain but I’m pretty sure this skirt I’m wearing is a mesh template (I saw MANY replicas of this style on the marketplace today). And that’s okay, I think templates CAN over saturate the market but the one’s that are really well textured are fine. Honestly, who the hell is purchasing the boring stuff anyways? I’m not because this skirt is cute with little white skulls on it. So there you have it. The top is from Ison and I love it. It’s going to be one of those tops that go with everything and I like that because I’m lazy.
Fairy Tales Can Come True
Fairy tales can come true, it can happen to you
If you’re young at heart.
For it’s hard, you will find, to be narrow of mind

The break is over….
This is my first fashion post in quite some time. I was super excited when IOF invited me to be a part of their blog and I hope I don’t screw it up.
I came to realize last night that being out of the fashion loop even for a few months makes one feel like a total noob when it comes to shopping, especially for someone who wears mostly just undies. It’s true, ask anyone, I’m always in my roos.
Anyways, I browsed my small inventory for things to work off of and I found nothing so I decided it was time to head to the marketplace. I wanted something kind of fancy/edgy/christmas-y. I think I pulled it off. I found most of the pieces except for the hair and skin off the marketplace.
