We Seek the Dark Tower, Thankee Sai

Baiastice’s new release of the CAGE TOP was an on the fly inspiration to do a shoot together and Cajsa knew just the place to go – IMMERSIVA.

To me it was extremely GUNSLINGERISH – and I kept expecting Roland and company to come rolling through chasing the Man in Black.  Well – like UltraModern Gunslinger – just as parts of the book are quite anachronistic, the sim reeks of both primitive and ultramodern tones. It is, not to put too fine a point on it – extraordinary.

With bold and futuristic design this top has two options, one modest – as we’re wearing so you can’t see ALL of our goodies, and one NOT so modest,with your goodies on full display. We’ve also added Baiastice’s LEATHER RIDE pants because if we’re going to chase the Man in Black – we need sensible pants. Continue reading →

Monster Jackets

Leave a reply

There are some statement jackets in Modern Gypsy’s Fashion Monster collection. For example, this jacket from the Zhora pants outfit is an amazing piece of construction with shoulders that could conquer the universe if they set themselves to the task. Coincidentally, Newreem Waffles styled the same two jackets in her blog today, too – in a very different way, demonstrating how versatile these jackets are.

The jacket that comes with the powerful Hecate leather dress makes and equally strong statement – one of surprise and delight at seeing such a jacket chosen for such a noir dress. After all, when you hear black leather dress, a houndstooth wool jacket is not what pops into mind, but then Hecate is a dress of surprises.

Fierce Fashion

Maleficent from the Fashion Monster Collection by Micah Kanto for Modern Gypsy

I know I have been featuring a lot of Modern Gypsy lately, but I think it’s clear by now that we are guided more by our tastes and whims than anything else. I love fashion that is fierce and uncompromising – that takes risks, that is sometimes outlandish. I love the avant garde, design that pushes the boundaries of form and function, but not the boundaries of taste.

PAndora from the Fashion Monster Collection by Micah Kanto for Modern Gypsy

Modern Gypsy is all that. Micah makes beautiful gowns and dresses. However, some of Micah’s collection is more than clothing, some are sculptures. You can see that quite clearly in these two very stylized pieces.

Shape, Shape, Shape Your Bootie

I don’ t know if any of you have been watching Bravo’s Launch My Line, but I have. It’s been enjoyable, but Dan and Dean are no Tim Gunn and they don’t offer advice at all, just eye rolls and jaw drops. They fall between the genuine mentorship of Gunn and the rude bitchiness of Mizrahi in that miserable Fashion Show, but really, what’s wrong with being helpful and supportive? Now that I began with an off-topic tangent, let get back to the point. Recently Vanessa was dropped when she added some pockets to accentuate the hips. It was probably her most commercial dress of the competitioion, so the lesson she learned was if you listen to the judges and take their advice you get axed.  The judges said no woman ever wants to accentuate her hips. Well, that’s just wrong!!! And to prove it, look at how luscious this dress looks. You just have to do it right. Micah Kanto knows how to do it right.

Ahem, about that challenge, Lord Winter?

4 Replies

When Winter Jefferson challenged Gidge to style an outfit featuring Exile’s exuberant Zoe hair, she rose to the challenge and threw down the gauntlet. Well, it seems Lord Winter is too busy planning his upcoming nuptials to Tenshi Vielle to answer the challenge – but never fear, I decided to give it a go and flap that glove in Winter’s face a few times. After all, shouldn’t a challenger actually do the challenge, too? So, here it is: Exile’s Zoe. Yes, it’s a wild and hairy sort of challenge – literally. However, I found it was deceptively easy. You see, the hair may be wild and full of exuberance, but it’s expertly placed exuberance that somehow just didn’t seem to intersect nearly as much as I expected. I really did not have to do a lot of searching for poses that work.

I did, however, think it deserved somethind wild, so I raided a pants set from Chatkare for the top and paired it with the truly wild Feather Skirt from So Many Styles.

Fashion that gets your heart racing

Leave a reply

I admit it, I love the Winter Collection from Micah Kanto. I have already posted several dresses from the collection and thought I had seen it all, and then this Sunday I go to see the runway show and was blown away by a second collection that was only released yesterday.  This Fashion Monster collection continues the red, white and black color theme – but all in houndstooth fabrics formed into wild and extravagant shapes. This is an avant garde collection of winter wear and while it won’t be to everyone’s taste – it just suits mine to a T.  You can see all the hallmarks of this collection in the Onyxia suit I am wearing. Bold use of houndstooth fabric, architectural embellishments such as the sweeping shoulder sculpts and bold shapes such as the stand up collar and the peplum.

This Suit Needs a Better Name

Seriously, what else can you say when Paper Couture comes through with something so luscious, luxurious and lavish as this Black Floral Suit Gown.  Shouldn’t it be the Suit to End All Suits? The Queen of Suits? The Suitastic? The Whipped Cream with a Cherry on Top Suit? If you have other name suggestions that encapsulate the utter fabulousness of this suit, please add them in comments.

Accessories Make the Era

Leave a reply

Sissy Pessoa gives a group gift at the beginning of every month that is always eagerly anticipated simply because you can never guess what it could possibly be. This month it’s an adorable blue dress that is versatile for any era, perfect to pair with your favorite accessories like a statement necklace or perhaps even a stylish wristwatch. And if your wristwatch ever needs a tune-up, there are plenty of reliable watch service in the area to keep it ticking smoothly.

Because I have been highlighting so much from the 1920’s and 30’s I decided to slot this lovely freebie right into that era through choosing accessories that gave it that Bernice Bobs Her Hair look.

You Make Me Weak…I Wanna Die……

The recent release of this chemise by Milady’s Fancy had me in mind of that great tune by Journey – Lovin’ Touchin’ Squeezin’ which isn’t nearly as sexy and romantic as it possibly could be – if you listen to the whole thing. But that first line…..it’s sooo passionate.

It was the first thing I thought of when I slipped into this.

And I didn’t put on a skirt shape. So enjoy the bootie. That’s right! I’ve got the big bootie and I don’t care!

I happen to know that some people LIKE their girls with curves! So there!

All I Need Is a Beautiful Girl……

The song by Van Halen went through my mind endlessly as I went through this shots of Cajsa and I at Oubliette wearing our new gowns from Miamai. I have no idea since the song is about oogling girls at the beach and we couldn’t be further from it.

Perhaps it’s just because I thought we looked like beautiful girls.

The crystalline texture of the Cristallo dress were perfect at the winter wonderland at Oubliette. Don’t you think?

We haven’t done one together in a long time. We’ve got to do this more often, it’s fun.
