These are a few of my favorite things
First I just wanted to say to Ryker Beck, how dare you stop making skins, I mean seriously lady! What were you thinking?!
Now that I have that off my chest let’s continue. I stayed up until 4am shopping at the hair fair last night. It was amazeballs, the lag wasn’t horrible and I made it to every store. I bought about 8 or 9 different hairs and I wanted to show some of my favs!
Ivanka Akina – Betty Hair – Black (comes with color changeable head band) (mesh)
Clawtooth: Starlight – exquisite reds pack (mesh)
Fashion Vanguard
There is a vanguard in any human endeavor, there is a vanguard that leads the way forward. They are the ones who develop new ideas. The find the new technologies and adopt new ways of communicating in music, literature and art. They are the forward shock troops in combat and in culture. It’s appropriate, then, that the store Vanguard in Second Life produces clothing that is completely á la page and then one step beyond.
Green with Envy
Shinichi Mathy has released two new dresses for Shiki Designs this week. I was drawn most to this beautiful, closely-fited sheath called Envy which comes in green, blue and yellow. I can see Joan Holloway wearing this dress, can’t you?
Merry Christmas Alicia Chenaux
I met Alicia Chenaux on Plurk, though I had read her blog for a long time before that. I should say blogs since she has a fun journaling blog where she chronicles her Second Life adventures as well as her fashion blog. I first began paying attention to her blog when she began her 365 Project which was such a huge commitment. I don’t know if I would commit to blog for a full year even after blogging for four years. For me, it’s so much easier to do something than to say I will do something, because then I really have to. I admire people who have the will to make that kind of commitment up front. I also admire the kind of openness and vulnerability that journaling blogs require. It, too, requires a commitment beyond what I would do.
I was looking forward to seeing Alicia’s outfit because she’s a former model and I knew that work history would translate into an impeccable outfit that was perfectly fitted. And I was right from every Elikatira hair on her head to the GField shoes on her feet, everything is perfectly fitted. Her outfit seemed perfect for sightseeing and wandering the streets in the fashionable city of Venice which you can find on the Prada sim. I could see her modeling skills at work as she positioned herself on the dock by the gondolas while I was flailing around in the river after falling off the dock a few times. In fact, I had to run inside one of the stores and dry off while she patiently waited.
Gypsies & KittyCatS
Modern Gypsy has released a new collection called Forever Gypsy full of bold new looks, with rich colors, bold prints and that fabulous flair we associate with Micah Kanto. I am addicted to plaid so this dress Muerra Look 5 immediately captured my heart. It came with a red belt, but I was feeling a bit more sedate and in a vintage mood so I grabbed this old wide belt from closet. It’s from Cachet, the former brand of Lelutka designer Thora Charron. It’s also a white belt, that I tinted to match the stones bedazzling the bodice.
It's Midnight, do you know where your shadows are?
I usually do not shoot my photos with shadows enabled. They just are not important enough to me to bother with the hassles. There’s so many little aggravations associated with it like turning system skirts into solid black in one viewer and losing all my alpha textures in another. However, the new pose prop from Behavior Body told me it wanted me to shoot it with shadows and when pose props start talking, they cannot be denied. I decided to go with this cute day dress from Indie Rose for the Vintage Fair because the prop told me to go black and white. Give a prop and inch and it will take a mile.
I even found these Lotus Pumps with Dots from Baiastice because there’s no telling what the prop would have done if i could not find some black and white shoes. Of course, I was only speaking with one of the prop’s personalities. It comes with a HUD for communicating with its inner spirit and I could have called up different walls and floor textures and released a completely different character from the prop – there’s even one that probably went to Woodstock and hung out with Jimi Hendrix back in the day.

Azoury for Couture of Hope
I was very intrigued by the design from Azoury France for Couture of Hope. The dress is named La Tenue Lavande or the Lavender Dress. Just that alone is intriguing since it is not lavender in color. Most intriguing, though, is the sculpted skirt and the fine details in its construction. From the felted denim of the skirt, the sculptural shaping of the skirt to the leather laced embellishments, it’s a dress designed to not only please, but to make you curious.
Some may ask why. Fashion asks why not. My apologies to George Bernard Shaw.

Of Ball Gowns and Best Friends
As we head into a weekend of parties and swirly dresses I’m pulling out a set that was shot long before Cajsa got sick.
Over on my RL blog I talked yesterday about knowing who you are. (Words of wisdom via Keith Richards). The importance of that struck me as I was muddling through flickr sets trying to decide what to post today.
This picture above, well, that’s who Cajsa and I are.
At least, it’s one facet of the gem of our barbie girls. Continue reading
Blue Skies
I love ice blue, that wonderful color that seems to be deciding between blue, white and silver and never making up its mind. The ice blue of the Lani dress from Lelutka is just that perfect shade, holding itself in a state of perfect suspension between the three, never drifting off balance. Add to that perfect ice blue, the beautifully formed bodice and winging single sleeve that arches gracefully over the left shoulder and the lovely sculpted skirt and you have a very cool bit of chic.
Loving the dress color so much, I really wanted to emphasize it by shooting at the beautifully blue sim Noah’s Ark where nearly everything is blue. I also chose the Cheery Cyan windlight setting from Torley Linden to reinforce the blueness. Continue reading
