When I went to Nomine last week, I was blown away by the clothing, but nothing struck me so much as this dress called Mira. It is as sexy as they come with the outrageously low back, the sheer bodice made wearable only by stripes of sequins and the form-fitting lushness of it it. To match it for wild romanticism, I wore the Akili hair from Damselfly. I shot several photos of this outfit for my Hair Fair Contest entries because of that wild extravagance.
A post about drama demands DRAMA in the look and what is more dramatic than this marvelous Pincushino hair from Yukinowaguma.
Oh no she didn’t! She did. Alice Chenaux now tells us to blog whatever we want to blog about. Well, that is what I was doing before the BBBC. (grin) Okay, so I decided to check out Hamlet’s suggestions, especially one that struck me as fatally flawed from the outset. He suggested the following question for Tuesday; “The Second Life fashion scene is infamous for negative interpersonal drama. Do you think it’s possible to make it less so, and if so, how?” I know, I know, we don’t do drama on our blog, but I think it’s possible to discuss what I think about SL Fashion drama without creating a new drama. We will find out soon enough if it is. Pardon my while I grab my umbrella and scurry under cover.
I had a date last night – a very pleasant first date and now I am feeling bright and happy so here’s an outfit that reflects how bright my mood is. The skirt I found at Bran Co. and just loved it’s sort of light-hearted I-can-so put green, brown and blue together joie de vivre. The top is from Armidi, part of a shorts outfit and though it was not needed to cover any bare skin gaps, I added the Persona sash just to tie them together.
Alice Chenaux now asks us: “If there was someone you could trade places with for one day in Second Life, who would it be and why? Bonus points if you find this person and snap a picture with them!” This is hard to answer as there really is not anyone I would like to trade places with. For me, Second Life is very much about being and doing what I have created as my life in Second Life – woman with a creative occupation whose life is unburdened by responsibilities, living somewhat a frivolous and self-indulgent life. I would not mind logging in as Gidge for an hour and creating some folders for her to sort her inventory into because her inventory is one big long unsorted (ever) mess. Wherever a folder landed when opened, that’s where it’s at. Then again, perhaps if it were orderly, she might not find anything. What I would really love to do is one of those operations where you can see the desktop of someone else’s computer while they are still there – and see how a few of the jewelers I so admire actually do what they do. I mean, how do they work with such tiny prims, how do they make them so small? How can they see what they are doing? Their work astonishes and amazes me and I would love to be able to watch them work through their eyes. As luck has it, I do have photos of some of the marvelous jewelers who make Second Life much more beautiful for me though I have not yet shot the jeweler who made the lovely necklace in earrings for this outfit.
Are the stars out tonight?
I dont know if its cloudy or bright
cause I only have eyes for you, dear
The moon may be high
But I cant see a thing in the sky
cause I only have eyes for you.
Alice Chenaux now asks us: You’ve been given a sim of your very own to use for free for one year. However, there are 3 rules. It cannot be residential, it cannot be commercial, and it has to be open to the public. What do you do with it?
Mimikri takes the art of flirty feminity to a new level with Sina.
Well, that’s easy. I would make a photo park like what most of the MDR sim was except for the part that was the studio. There were sections with foliage and weather for each part of the year, an underwater sunken ship and underwater volcano, there was a beach, a corn field, three different waterfalls and all sort of box sets up in the sky. It was a photographer’s dream. A dream that poofed. Luckily there are still wonderful places to shoot all about the grid including Ode where the photo above was taken.
So, I went for comfort, but not at the expense of style, not with these glorious pants andd Untone Quilt’s marvelous cardigan. A lovely pink thermal top from pig makes it complete.
Alice Chenaux now asks us to describe the perfect day in SL. That’s so hard because different days I want different things from SL, but a day filled with my favorite things would include shooting an outfit or two for the blog, chatting or styling or shooting with Gidge or going with her to a party and some time chatting with Maht and listening to him play some music. Add a little exploring of a new sim and you have a perfect day and a fairly common Sunday.
As to the dress, this is from DYN – another shop on My Little List – and I love the explosion of color at the hem.
However, unlike the Executioner, this is not a list of those who won’t be missed. In fact, it’s a list of stores some fellow plurkers thought have been missed. So…. list in hand I went off shopping and found some real treasures – and believe me, I will go back to those stores in the future. I used some items from that shopping trip to pull together this fun outfit including the truly magnificent plaid pants, or should I say pantz, from Nomine. I added an old blouse from Street Magic and a waistcoat that was sent to me by Ayumi back in May but that I didn’t even notice until last night – a sad reflection on the state of my inventory.
So I looking for Untone Quilt at an old SLurl, I happened on Maple where real life creations are brought into second life – and the photo of the original is shown so you can see how well the design has been translated. Honestly? I think I like the Second Life versions best. Here are three lively and fun print blouses from Maple.
