My friends Belle Lefavre and Jackson Vantelli had opened the new Sxy2nd sim with all the aplomb deserving the grand opening of such a lovely build. You’re going to find all the high quality creators you expect to find there, featuring their sexiest works and most lovely items in one shopping mecca.

So why am I wearing this? Well, I’m wearing this as my official HOMAGE to Indyra Originals who has a shop at the Sxy2nd Sim – AND I’ve GOT A STORY!

This dress is living proof that magazines (Like Sxy2nd magazine – GET A COPY) work. Continue reading →

Jackie & The Shrimp

Leave a reply

AvaGardner Kungler passed me a pair of dresses yesterday, both called Jackie. The black one is above and I am certain I need not identify who inspired the dresses.  I love that era’s clothing with the simple elegance typified by Jackie Kennedy.  I tried on the the black dress first, loved it and shot the photos for the blog before trying on the second – the Jackie Red which came as a surprise to be because although it was the same cut and style, it was a print – a fabulous pop print that immediately made me want to shoot it too. Not wanting to do the exact same thing twice, I decided to shoot a remix and post them together.

The skirt is from the original Kunglers Jackie dress. I added a sweater from Fleur and a belt from Ornamental Life. Jean Shrimpton was the super-model of the early 60’s. In face, she might rightfully be considered the first international SuperModel – preceding Twiggy by a few years. She was the face of pop fashion and so I decided to style this more for Jean Shrimpton – the Shrimp.

Why Not?

Leave a reply

I fell in love with this adorable little pinstripe skirt from Humby Designs and could not wait to style it. The folder comes with two lenghs for the dress, including one shorter than this. At first I put on a plain red blouse with red tights and black shoes. It looked nice enough, but it just did not have the pow I wanted to really show off how splendid this skirt really is, so I thought perhaps a different blouse and started trying on other red tops. Now somehow this top made its way into my red folder (perhaps a misfile since Prints are right above Red) and when I put it on, my first thought was Why Not?. So here we are.

You Are Cleared To Land – An It's Only Fashion PSA

Going on RL vacation sent me shopping for beachwear on the grid and I was ecstatic when I ran into this hot island inspired piece at BOOM. I thought the bikini with the slightly transparent cover up on the jacket layer was a great look and really exotic- a MUST have for my vacation shopping. (SHUT UP I CAN IMAGINE I WORE IT ON RL VACATION).

It was also a great opportunity to take one of Hart Larsson’s PXL CREATIONS Grace skins in Fashion Tan tone for a run. I don’t wear a LOT of tan skins but I do like the warm tone on his.  Plus I like the nipples and the naughty bits on his skins. Where else can you say “Oh my friend does my hoohaha?” and not mean something sexual – except on the Grid? Continue reading →

Ready to Dance

5 Replies

Oh, this gorgeously pop outfit from Moxie Polano is the pants and top for dancing.  I would be ready to head out to First Avenue if I still lived in the Cities. Almost no one who lives there calls them the Twin Cities, we just would say The Cities as if there were no other ones on the planet. First Avenue was a favorite dance club when I was in college – and is well-known to many of you as that is the setting of Purple Rain. It was a short walk from my weekend job at the Planetarium when I was in college and so was a regular Saturday night stop. When I put this outfit on, I immediately thought of the club and wondered if it still existed and what it looked like. So reassuring to see that it has lasted.

In Bloom

Leave a reply

Every once in a while someone makes a dress that makes everyone stop and take a breath and sigh. The newest dress from Mimikri is that kind of dress. There is a black version that is all black – which makes it a very different dress – and equally striking, but the sheer springlike femininity of the pink, blue and yellow versions of this dress is unrivaled. The skirt is a riot of flowers with a ruched satin bodice and it’s absolutely luscious.

Art & Fashion

Leave a reply

Lady Thera’s Art & Fashion is the store for art lovers who also love fashion. She doesn’t just plop a picture on a t-shirt but rather samples the original art in order to create patterns with which she creates new and original work. Her sampling is so well done, you might call her LT Cool, but you had probably better not. This dress is based on William Turner’s work. Turner was the master of painting sea and sky which you can sense from this dress. There’s a marvelous online collection at the Tate Online.

This picture, by the way, was shot at MDR Photo Park – on the black field, a huge flat black plane. I then just rezzed some surreal flowers from MiaSnow including an artichoke tree. Because I am not landscaping, I can stack flowers on top of flowers, making a sort of box of flowers and get a full background with any gaps filled in by the black field. It’s a fun, fast and easy way to make an impressionistic background like this.

Going Dotty for Van Gogh

1 Reply

I had the original Van Gogh dress from Lady Thera’s Art & Fashion, but last night while I was talking to her about another outfit that is no longer on sale, she recalled some photos my ex shot of me in that dress and sent me a newer edition. Much sexier, she said.  It sure is. It comes in two version – with a prim skirt or with the system skirt. With the system skirt, you can even do some navel-gazing. The one I am wearing is the one with the prim skirt. Yup, very sexy.

A Velvet Sunday

Our friend Maht was dj-ing at the Velvet a couple of weeks ago and I actually was able to get in world during the day, so I thought I’d pop over and visit my friends and listen to his set.

This was exactly the excuse I needed to pull out these plaid pants from Little Rebel. The set comes with three pair of pants and this tintable tank and was exactly the sort of comfy/indie look I wanted at the Velvet that afternoon. Continue reading →

My social season may be off, because just when “The Season” should be wrapping up for RL – I’m suddenly social butterfly this weekend.  I had logged in on Friday night to putz about and received an invitation to Belle LeFavre and her husband Jackson’s party they were hosting.

I wasn’t dressed properly but had picked up several cocktail type dresses at Little Rebel recently so I picked out one called Martini Time and popped over. Continue reading →
