Slow down, you move too fast.
You got to make the morning last.
Just kicking down the cobble stones.
Looking for fun and feelin’ groovy.
I was certainly feeling groovy when I put on the lovely new sunglasses from Lelutka. A fun surprise group gift, I could not resist adding them to this fun little outfit featuring a sweater and skirt from MiaMai.
We’re all alone, no chaperone
Can get our number
The world’s in slumber–let’s misbehave!!!
There’s something wild about you child
That’s so contagious
Let’s be outrageous–let’s misbehave!!!
While MiaMai’s new Venom dress doesn’t make me feel particularly poisonous, I thought it is definitely hot enough to lead to temptation – so let’s misbehave.
Most of the holiday parties have run their course, but Second Life has never limited parties to the holidays and formal events and clubs abound, so whenever you want to dress up, you can and you can find a place to show off your lovely gown. This one is a gorgeous gown from MiaMai with delicate silver tracery on the bodice. This is a dress that shows how sometimes less is more – the upright color poufs are there, but in control. There’s the embroidery – but just a dusting of it.
The Designers United Vaudeville exhibition is going on now and is well worth taking the time to visit and shop. I particularly love this playsuit from Milk Motion that has an adorable ruffle on the “chassis” which made me think of the song, If You Knew Susie – a vaudeville classic.
If you knew Susie, like I know Susie
Oh! Oh! Oh! What a girl
There’s none so classy
As this fair lassie
Oh! Oh! Holy Moses, what a chassis
A ruffle accentuates the chassis.
Well, not really, but if I did have a date with Frosty, I could not go wrong with this amazing gown from MiaMai. The gown is called Ever East and is a sinuous sexy shimmer of a gown that sleekly slides along your form. With a higher than thou side slit, it’s a perfect reveal of the fantastic Ice Queen skin from PXL Creations. A special holiday gift makeup for the fabulous July skin, this skin has delicate tracery tattooing on the legs, back, bodice and arms.
This Hymn dress from MiaMai makes me smile. At first blush, with that cozy, cuddly hood it looks all warm and snuggly. Then of course, there’s the plunge, or more accurately the two plunges as the back plunges even lower than the front. Let’s just say Mrs. Claus might feel a brisk wind or two. This dress certainly seems designed on the principle of conserving body heat by covering up the head. Now, of course, it’s a myth that you lose more heat through your head than any other part of your body. When those tests were done in the 50’s they were comparing lost heat with people wearing winter survival gear but no hats – not people unclothed everywhere. Oops!
We have an arctic front that has those high, whistling winds that just sound cold even when you are indoors. Sure enough, I started reaching for the warm and cozy clothing so that I could be comfy cozy vicariously as well. The bulky, knit Jackie sweater that is sure to be huggably warm is from MiaMai. The aubergine cigarette pants are from Ingenue. And of course, cold weather is when you want to stay inside. You will surely enjoy this special live concert recording of Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong singing that delightfully sexy song – and extemporizing to make it even more fun than usual.

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.

Belleza y Moda! Beauty and Fashion! Love of beauty and fashion energizes much of the passion of Second Life creators, bloggers and fashionistas. It is what sends skin creators back to their tablets to develop ever more beautiful skins. It’s what motivates creators to play with sculpts and textures to find new forms and to explore to the fullest what SL fashion can be.
Today I am wearing some of the boldest explorers who most fully realize and expand the boundaries of SL beauty and fashion. From MiaMai whose textures are stunning, to Mimikri who knows no bounds in finding new ways to form and shape clothing. From Stiletto Moody who has been at the vanguard of SL footwear development, to Truth whose energetic and playful explorations of hair sculpts send weekly tremors across the grid and finally, to Belleza whose stunning skins are at the apex of SL skin creation.
Like many of the people in SL, I live in a skybox. Actually, I have joined a couple skyboxes together to make my house, moving and removing some walls and plopping a little skybox on top of the main one. I also use the roof – it’s my dance and party floor decorated with fantastical flowers from Eshi Otawara. I love astronomy and added a little meteor shower from 2extreme just for fun.
I decided to shoot this outfit up on the roof just to shoot around those beautiful flowers. The top is a lovely casual black and gray top from Dutch Touch, and the gray pants are wonderful wide leg palazzos.
