Texture Love

Oh, that Sissy Pessoa! Her new collection is jumping up and down and hollering at me for attention because it’s just so luscious I want to wear it all at once. The colors are right up my alley with lovely creams, olives and salmons. What really has me excited about this dress, though, is the marvelous texture of the fabric. I love the three-dimensional look of it – as though it’s been puffed somehow – more like paper in some ways, than fabric.

The setting for this shoot was Carpe Diem – a lovely pastoral sim with wheat, farm buildings, animals and like any good garden – a snake.

MiaMai Moves Fashion Forward

I went to MiaMai’s Spleen and Ideasm Runway show on Saturday. It was more than a show, it was an exhibition and the clothing was fantastic in the most literal sense of the world. Depicting the epic struggle between good and evil, the clothing is wildly constructed, imaginative and strongly designed.

To highlight the modernism of the clothing – I decided to go to a sim with an old-fashion vintage feeling – Carpe Diem.

Fashion Weeks Make Me Happy

Someone was wondering how many Fashion Weeks there are in SL. I have no idea, but it did make me curious about Fashion Weeks in real life and so I went to the web and discovered there are at least 142 fashion weeks around the world. SL has a ways to go to catch up. Modavia Fashion Week has wrapped up, but the fashions that I found there are still sparkling away in my inventory – and that includes this lovely little dress from Kunglers.

Three Event Openings in One Day: Bring It On

For SL Fashionistas, this weekend presents the beginning of an embarrassment of riches coupled with the opportunity to do good while looking good. Yes, there are three, three highly anticipated events that opened this weekend and two of them are fundraisers. One is Designers United, the sporadic exhibition of design focused on a single theme, another is Hair Fair, raising funds for Wigs for Kids, and the other is Project Donate, an emergency fundraiser for UNICEF and their program of flood relief for Pakistan. To visually demonstrate that all this activity should be embraced as a good thing, I put together an outfit featuring items from all three events.

In fact, I decided to take the idea of mixing up the events so far that the top I am wearing is part Designers United and part Project Donate. The upper portion comes from La Gyo’s Antique Tunic for Designers United and the bottom portion comes from Bublee Bing’s Inspired by Valentino dress for Project Donate. The skirt also comes from the Inspired by Valentino Dress

Come To Me: Guest Stylist Phoenix Piek

Phoenix rocks her look, casting a come-hither look over her shoulder.

All I ever wanted was our love to be true
More than just enough to get me by
I want a love to see me through
I don’t need another well-spent night,
Another clever sideways glance
I wanna look my baby in the eye
And know there’s nothing left to chance

Phoenix Piek_004.jpg

Beautifully accessorized by her own jewelry, her shirt may say "Beautiful and Bored" but what her look really says is "don't waste my time"

Well if you’re tired of being lonely, beat up and confused
Darling, there’s only one thing you can do:
Come to me
Don’t be the one who’s waiting
Come to me
Babe, I got what you need
Won’t you come to me
There won’t be no hesitating, babe
I know what you mean to me

Phoenix was shot on location at Cincetta. It's a happy coincidence that the ruins in the background reflect the colors of her outfit.

Fine Tuning with Dafne

I don’t often do skin reviews because I am not one of those devil-in-the-details people who zoom in on the toes, the backs of the knees, the nipples and other parts hither and thither to inspect for flaws. I am guided more by the overall impression of the skin and how it makes me feel. The new Dafne skin from PXL Creations makes me feel great!

For the picky details, I go and read Gogo, Luna, Grazia and a few others to find out if there are flaws. Of course, with some skin designers, I just know they are flawless because the designers are so meticulous and painstaking. Hart Larsson of PXL Creations is that sort of designer. For example, reading on plurk, I saw that he reloaded 280 of his skin textures because he noticed that the texture compression varied in some viewers and make a slight imperfection. Frankly I could not see the imperfection, but that’s one of the 674 reasons I don’t make skins.

Rumor Has It

Leave a reply

Rumor has it that Hair Fair is coming soon! It starts next weekend, to be specific. You should check out the Hair Fair blog for up to date information, including an explanation for their decision to set up as two sets of two sims instead of one set of four. As someone who has spent 20 minutes or more at a time bouncing off a sim border – that explanation makes sense to me.  However, I think the best idea for this year is the creation of a Hair Fair Demo group you can join.  Think of the possibilities. Not only can you try on the demos at your lag-free home at your leisure, but you could get together with friends and have a Demo Dance. Gidge & I threw a Hair Demo party once and it was hysterical.

Speaking of rumors, here’s a happy one and a true one. Miko Omegamu is back releasing new clothing for Icing. It’s been nearly a year since her last release, so I was thrilled to go to Icing and pick up this gorgeous Pink Lemonade dress.

Okay, neither of those were rumors. However, since I shot the dress at The Rumor, I could not resist the conceit. The Rumor is a beautifully made market sim that has a very photogenic landing point. And a camel with pink hair!!! Continue reading →

Where's Waldo?

When I shared a picture of this sim on plurk, Gogo said, “it looks like Where’s Waldo?” and she’s right. You will be very lost in a cacophony of color and detail at the Lemondrops Forest sim. Still, you should go there and explore. It’s full of whimy and fun, though be careful about crossing the bridge into Poopsburgh where only poops are allowed.

My outfit for exploring was certainly whimsical and fit right into Lemondrops Forest. The top is from Apple May designs and flowed perfectly into the Bottle Bird Petal Skirt I was wearing. The skirt comes with the accompanying leggings which are adorable, though I would prefer the option to wear with leggings or with a short glitch pants. Still, it’s easy enough to make acceptable glitch pants when the skirt is a plain fabric like this.

My Favorite Color

Green is my favorite color. It’s a good thing because there’s so much green in the world with the grass and the leaves on the trees. I discovered that I need to live in a green environment after a short and unsuccessful move to Montana where I became so depressed that I began sleeping for hours and hours everyday. Taking my nephew on a college tour and showing him my alma mater (which he chose to attend) I came back to life and good cheer with an hour of entering the green grasslands that I love. I will never live in an arid place without lots of green again. I need green! And I really love green when it’s in an adorable little dress like this one from sen*2.  It’s a little summer strapless sundress, but a nice cardigan dresses it up a bit.
