After I popped by the Wear Grey event the other day, I was trying on my stuffs I picked up there when our friend Maht messaged me that he was DJing and why wasn’t I there being all fangirly at him? Continue reading

It was kismet, fate, meant-to-be and fortune all rolled up into a nice little ball of coincidence.
I had noted a plurk announcing that Paper Couture had released their fall collection for sale just moments before I logged in that day, so thought “What the hell” and ported over. The place was crampacked with A-listers, some of whom were naked for some unknown reason (my TPV seems to leave people naked a long time for me, so OHAI I’ve seen a lot of you naked lately). I waded through the sea of matte grey individuals for a spot in the room and then began the slow process of camming about. Continue reading
One of my favorite finds at Modavia Fashion Week was this lovely mostly black and white floral print dress from Anubis Style. I say mostly black and white because the special touch that really enchanted me were the occasional colored flowers sprinkled in among the black and white ones.

AlaFolie is one of the wonderful stores features at Modavia Fashion Week. The magnificent Farfalla dress set is an amazing collection with one dress, three skirt lengths – each wearable with or without the jacket for six options, and incidentally (or accidentally), with one of the jacket prims for a total of nine possible looks. This picture shows you the tea length version with and without the jacket.
Taking off the jacket system piece and sleeves, but keeping the remaining jacket prim gives me a baby doll tea length dress. On the right, you can see the short dress length.

Guest Stylist Callie Oh makes beautiful music with her styling of this gorgeous outfit. I asked to send me notes for this blog post and this is what she wrote: “I am not a blogger nor a stylist, but I do love to wander the smaller shops looking for that something special I haven’t seen before and piecing together a look bit by bit. I found this dress at dp yum yum, added my Mandala pearls and Maitreya shoes and immediately felt like doing the Charleston all around the mall, well if it weren’t for lag I would have!”
Since her outfit made her feel the music – it seems so perfect that I decided to shoot the pictures at Cadenza. Continue reading
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
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.
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.
I got the blues from my baby left me
by the San Francisco Bay,
The ocean liner’s gone so far away.
Didn’t mean to treat him so bad,
He was the best guy I ever have had,
He said goodbye, I can take a cry,
I want to lay down and die.
I ain’t got a nickel
and I ain’t got a lousy dime.
He don’t come back,
think I’m going to lose my mind.
If he ever gets back to stay,
it’s going to be another brand new day,
Walking with my baby
down by the San Francisco Bay.
I just have to show these off again. When Maitreya releases new products, a small number of group members are randomly selected and awarded fatpacks of the new release. With the popularity of Maitreya and its obviously large membership I never expected to win, but was surprised and squeefully pleased to discover that I did win fatpacks of the new Hana shoes released last week. And are they not lovely? Before I impress you with my skin matching skills, I should not that I just followed the instructions in the notecard that tells you exactly how to match your skin.
I am wearing a retro-inspired dress from AngelWing. I picked it up at the Clothing Fair, but did run over to the store to verify that it’s on sale in the store. I really love the floral print of the fabric and the lovely colors.
I shot the dress at Route 9 – a gorgeous suspension bridge that was surely built to showcase lots of photos. Continue reading
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
