I love the stage at Flashman’s. It makes me think it might have been painted by Salvador Dali. Flashman’s is the sort of bar where you can imagine all sorts of excitement happening under the surface of music, dancing and laughter. Messages are passed, assignations are arranged and secrets are shared. Here’s a secret, without items from the Platinum Hunt, I would be naked in this picture.
The 52-Week’s of Color Bloggers Challenge is moving right along nicely (without me as I am pathetically slow) but here I am on week 31 and that week is Denim. How lucky was I that it also coincided with the week that Coco had a giant sale and I found this ADORABLE patchwork denim dress ON SALE!!!
This is a dual post, celebrating BoHo HoBo and my new Flutterby Tattoo’s (available on the Marketplace).

One of the great elements of Hair Fair is that it asks for more participation from us than just shopping, blogging or building. Each year, it asks all of us to take off our hair and don a bandana in solidarity with those who are going through cancer treatment and losing their hair. Hair is very precious to us. Most of us when asked to describe ourselves, start with our hair color Our hairstyles are our signs to the world, communicating our interests, tastes and values. When people lose their hair, that signifier that said they are chic, or sporty, or rebellious is lost and replaced with a new signifier – Cancer Patient.
That is why Wigs For Kids is such a critical support to children who are going through cancer treatment. Children are already struggling to establish their identity, to individuate – and when cancer treatment robs them of such a critical signifier as hair, it’s important to restore that as best we can.

I like medium length hair styles that give you the softness and free-flowing hair of the long styles without any of the intersections and pose difficulties of long hair. Sadly, it is one of the least common hair lengths produced in Second Life. That is odd, because medium length hair is pretty common in real life. As with the other composites of hair styles from the Hair Fair, you can see the larger pictures in a set on my Flickr.

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
Louna Preis, proprietor of the Black Coffee Jazz Club and Louna's Roadside Beach Club rocks her own style - assembling clothes that could easily fit into an ordinary outfit into something quite extraordinary.
Picture perfect memories, scattered all around the floor.
Reaching for the phone cause, I can’t fight it any more.
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind.
For me it happens all the time.
It’s a quarter after one, I’m all alone and I need you now.
I said I wouldn’t call but I lost all control and I need you now.
And I don’t know how I can do without, I just need you now.
So, is With Love & Squalor a great name for a pose store or what? It’s says melodrama that should be serialized on afternoon TV – and you know that any soap star worthy of the name has a repertoire of dramatic poses. And soap stars worthy of daytime Emmys have natural looking dramatic poses – and Love & Squalor is Daytime Emmy material. I had never heard of the store before the Pose Fair – which highlights the value of these fairs for shoppers and creators – bringing in new customers and introducing new stores and raising funds for charity on top of that. That’s a win-win-win situation.
Magnifico Exclusive is new to me. Finding new stores is one of the great benefits of exhibitions like The Future is Now and I think this was a great find. I think it projects a strong attitude that had me reaching for the pack of Attitude poses from Studio Sidhe.
