Long Day’s End

Long Day's End

It was a long day yesterday. By the time I got to sit down on my own bed I ached and my feet hurt like mad.  It’s been a tough pixel day if your feet hurt. Continue reading

I See Faces As They Pass

The heavy mahogany canopy bed from Trompe Loeil was a perfect piece for my new skybox, and I was so excited to unpack this new chemise from Baiastice that I thought they really needed to go together. Continue reading

So I Had a Birthday

Birthday_006

I didn’t mean to not have a party but I didn’t have a party and then it came and went and I was like FUCK IT. No party.

But I do have a dress. A party dress, to be exact. It’s from DCNY and if I WERE to have had a birthday party then this was my dress of choice. Continue reading

If I Raided My Closet

Raid Your Closet

Part of my problem is, I’ve been deleting a LOT of my older stuff lately trying to get a hold on the madness that is my inventory. But I rifled around and found something things that I slapped together. I am even keeping the rule that you must have owned everything since before the beginning of the month. YAY Me.  Check out the Raid Your Closet Challenge HERE.

The boots are new from Lassitude & Ennui for L’Accesoires (I probably spelled that wrong) but most of the other things are older than newer. (I got them in Sept so shut up) Continue reading

Fanning the Flames

Aug27_003

IrEn’s gorgeous baroque corset outfit for Collabor88 is designed to inspire flames of passion. You can listen to Fanning the Flames with Maria Muldaur here.

“There’s smoke in the distance
And there’s fire up ahead.
There’s trouble brewing.
There’s danger,” he said.

And like an unlucky omen
Every word turned out true
And now we’re fanning the flames of passion
And burning up, ooh burning up.

I was inspired to dig out my old fans from Mika. The in-world Mika store is closed, but you can find it on Marketplace.

The first time I saw you
When I first laid eyes on you.
It was like time bomb starting ticking, Darling.
Detonation overdue.

And when our love’s just smoldering ashes
and when they have those ashes hauled
They’re gonna say we were fanning the flames of passion
and burning up, ooh burning up.

Bandana Day 2012 – from Gidge

As Cajsa so eloquently put it, Hair Fair culminates today  in us taking off our hair to celebrate the beauty inside of us all.  Our hair is a mane that speaks to the world before we open our mouths, but how much more important is our character and person than that? A thousandfold.

It’s why I am ecstatic every year when Hair Fair occurs. Not because we love hair (we do). But because it’s about something bigger and more important than our hair do’s and blogger selves.

I want to thank Sasy Scarborough and her amazing team for once again putting on an event to be proud of, an event that speaks to us all and shows us that real beauty is more than the sum of our parts.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries or the way she combs her hair.
~ Audrey Hepburn

The Magic Flute

It was pure coincidence that I was wearing this fabulous leather dress with feathers when I teleported over to check out The Magic Flute, but when I saw the first part of the exhibit, I thought it was too perfect for words. It made me smile, remembering a good college friend who played Papageno in a college production of the opera. I decided to take a few snaps, play the musical and remember old friends.

The Magic Flute

Papageno is the birdcatcher and the initial room in The Magic Flute has this fabulous birdcage. There’s so much more, though, you really should visit yourself.

I didn’t know the store Jack Spoon until I saw this dress for Back to Black – the mental health awareness event that is currently hosted by Chic Management. The print is a wild Versace-esque print with a lace inset on the bodice. With the long sleeves and the high collar, there are references to modesty which take on a cheeky wit when balanced with that cutout bodice and short skirt.
