Hey, that’s me!

Jul19_008

The other day Inex Hax asked for same suggestions for this elegant houndstooth dress she was about to release for Peqe. I suggested Baskerville and then, for some reason, did not see follow-up replies because Plurk was being glitchy. So, when I logged in and saw an object from her named Cajsa, I assumed that she had labeled it for delivery. Until I opened it and saw that the box was called Cajsa because the dress was called Cajsa and that was when my eyes popped and I said, “Hey, that’s me!” Like anyone, I am thrilled to have a design named after me, especially when my name confounds so many people. Even better, though, when the dress is so very much “my style” like this dress. You all know I have a deep, abiding love for sheath dresses and pencil skirts, prints and elegant designs that pull from the past but look to the future. This is all that in one.

Moving the Velvet

jul18_005

One of Second Life’s oldest indie music clubs, The Velvet, moved this week and there’s a huge party this weekend to celebrate and raise funds to pay for that transition and keep the club going. There will be music from 9 AM to 11 PM Saturday and Sunday and all the tips will go to the club. The Velvet has been playing great indie music for over five years and hope to keep going strong under the ownership of Maht Wuyts who has managed the club for the last year. The new location is here. I will be DJ’ing early Sunday morning – at 9 a.m. – a strange hour, I know, but then I DJ’ed at 6 AM for SL9B, so this is certainly better timing than that. If you can’t make my set, I hope you can make another – the music at The Velvet is always a great mix so you are sure to enjoy it.

I’ll Eat My Hat

People sometimes use the expression “I’ll eat my hat” to indicate disbelief or improbability. “If that horse wins, I’ll eat my hat.” or “I’ll eat my hat if she’s telling the truth.” The assumption is that the bet is safe and no one will be eating a hat soon. But you know, some hats do look good enough to eat – like this one from Bliensen & MaiTai. I decided to wear it, not eat it, because I love how it looks with this fabulous mesh dress from Kunglers.

There are so many reasons to love the Gisele dress from Kunglers. The sheath dress is always a flattering cut and the deep notched neckline adds a hint of sexiness. Most exciting, though, are the fabulous leaves that were painted on. Kunglers hallmark look is combining organic inspiration from their native South American flora with high fashion design. This dress is instantly recognizable as theirs.

Hoodoo Voodoo

July 15th_008

This cute and casual top from MEB called out to me, insisting it would be the perfect choice for showing off the short haircuts. It’s true that a boat neck with hair off the neck, whether short, in an updo or a pony always makes a gorgeous neckline. I added some comfy leggings by Pink Outfitters for the July faMESHed showcase.

Hoodoo voodoo, seven, twenty-one, two
Haystacka, hostacka, A B C
High poker, low joker, ninety-nine to zero
Sidewalk, streetcar, dance a goofy dance

Black birdy, blue jay, one, two, three, four
Trash sack, jump back, E F G
Biggy hat, little hat, fatty man, skinny man
Grasshopper, green snake, hold my hand

Hoodoo voodoo, chooka chooky choo choo
True blue, how true, kissle me now

Hair Fair 2012: Short Hair

Leave a reply

I definitely recommend you click the slideshow and view it full-size on Flickr. I really wanted you to see all sides of the short cuts, especially the ones from MADesigns with the intricate fade cuts on the tattoo layer. MADesigns tattoo layers are modifiable. You receive a single one that you color to match your hair. All of these cuts are at Hair Fair and a portion of every hair sold goes to Wigs for Kids. I have included several men’s styles that seem to work well for women as well.

The Sweet Spot

NYU for RFL

High fashion, elegance and sex appeal are not mutually exclusive. I doubt, though, that they have ever come together with such masterful balance as in this gown from NYU for Relay For Life that hits the sweet spot of avant sexy elegance. To make it even sweeter, it’s packaged with three options. You can wear it with the floral skirt and white top, a floral top and white skirt, or with a white top and skirt. And then to make it even sweeter yet, your purchase supports Relay for Life.

Gizza’s Sunburst Tutu

If you look real high
You just might find
Sitting in the stars
Glistening, glistening
Waiting for the band to come
Just waiting for that man to come
Oh, I wonder…

jul13_007

Gizza has made two sets of four tutus and it would take Solomon to choose the best of them. I wore this delightful Sunburst Tutu because I love its whimsy and the delicate, watercolor colors in the skirt.

Slip on down from that sun
To climb down to earth
And down to things like time
Because we are all, we are all just lovers
Born of earth and light like all these others

Playing Around with Filters - Advanced Lighting

I was all ready to go to One Voice and Collabor88 the other night and could not get in. They were both full!!! Rather than complain, though, I decided to check out the brand new Pixel Bean Coffeehouse after its recent remodel. I had planned to explore a few sims, maybe do some grid-hopping but when I got to the Bean, I was captivated by its charm and decided to shoot my outfit there. I used the sits that were in the adorable {what next} furnishing, animated sits that had me shooting tons of snaps trying to capture the right moment mid-movement. One thing led to another and I ended up playing around with filters in Filter Forge, a fun little application that I got a long time ago. I noticed it has a 60% off sale until the end of July so I thought I might mention it. The nice thing about it is that once you have the application, all the filters are free even with the least expensive option. I don’t do enough photo editing to justify the professional edition, so you don’t have to choose the most expensive to get a lot out of the application. I thought you might like to see what fun things filters can do. In these pictures,the only editing, other than cropping is using one filter. For example, for this photo I used Artificial Lighting.

Playing Around with Filters - Paint HDRtist

I think this shows why the Pixel Bean Coffeehouse inspired a picture shooting spree. The filter I used for this is called HDRtist.
