You Are Cleared To Land – An It's Only Fashion PSA

Leave a reply

posted by Gidge Uriza

Going on RL vacation sent me shopping for beachwear on the grid and I was ecstatic when I ran into this hot island inspired piece at BOOM. I thought the bikini with the slightly transparent cover up on the jacket layer was a great look and really exotic- a MUST have for my vacation shopping. (SHUT UP I CAN IMAGINE I WORE IT ON RL VACATION).

It was also a great opportunity to take one of Hart Larsson’s PXL CREATIONS Grace skins in Fashion Tan tone for a run. I don’t wear a LOT of tan skins but I do like the warm tone on his.  Plus I like the nipples and the naughty bits on his skins. Where else can you say “Oh my friend does my hoohaha?” and not mean something sexual – except on the Grid? Continue reading →

Ciphers are a girl's best friend

Leave a reply

Frankly, I have also heard the same about diamonds. However, if you’re talking fashion – the store Cipher on Mooncat Izumo is definitely in the girl’s best friend category with some hot jackets that are fresh and unique designs like this shrug I am wearing with a Canimal dress.  Nothing brings a dress up a notch as well as well-chosen shrug or jacket and the Cipher jackets are amazing.

A little seahorse

Leave a reply

I was listening to Devandra Banhart last night as I was shooting and he kind of makes me think of colors and pastels and mashing things up in a playful way and this is what I ended up with. The top comes from a pink dress (most of my pink tops come from dresses since I accidentally deleted my entire folder of pink blouses) from New Zero aka PixelDolls. It’s a very sweet top with a lovely green ribbon prim in the back.The skirt is from hanamachi and is delightfully springlike.

EarthStones Hunt

Leave a reply

I have found 13 out of 15 of the items at the EarthStones easter egg hunt, but have been defeated by two. I already IM’ed Abraxxa and shook my fist and hollered “damn you for hiding them so well.”  Of course, she knew I was kidding and laughed.  She assured me that one of the two I have not found was in plain sight, but you know, that’s always the way it is. I probably stood on it.

Now this hunt is a little different as not all items are free, some cost 10 or 50L, but that’s still a huge bargain. Among my finds were the lovely casuals sandals I am wearing. Of course, hunts get you looking around and finding things you cannot resist and one of those was in one of the rental shops outside her store – where I found this skirt that I matched up with the bodice from one of Kunglers Couture gowns. There’s a half dozen different colors and I was tempted to get all of them. The skirts are beautifully made and have a marvelous lacy cutwork texture.

Yes We Can Can

Leave a reply

Something about this dress makes me think of burlesque halls, saloons and the cancan. I expect to see Toulouse Lautrec popping up out of the floor and saying “Beauty. Freedom. Truth.”  However, I still wanted to shoot outdoors so I went to Athan Selidor on the sim Athan.

The details in the dress from Fumi are stunning. It comes with the hat, stockings, prim garters, prim sleeves, a prim skirt and the prim sash with flowers. What drew me to the dress was the lovely wine color and the rich textural details in the lace, the sleeves and the skirt.

On Little Cat Feet

The Fog

The fog comes
on little cat feet.

It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on……Carl Sandburg

Perhaps it’s merely because the poncho comes from Mooncat Izumo that this outfit reminds me so much of my favorite Carl Sandburg poem.  Of course, some of that impression also comes from the gradients of gray in the skirt that recall a foggy sky. However, when I put this on, I immediately thought of Chicago and the marvelous Carl Sandburg.

Made For Each Other

Leave a reply

I suppose technically these two pieces, the LeeZu sweater and the Mimikri pants, cannot possibly be made for each other, but even if they had been, they could not possibly make a better pairing. White the cream on cream prints are not identical, they are as compatible as they can possibly be.  I think cream and beige and winter whites are some of the most sophisticated colors and when well blended, they create such an urbane and chic look that the more usual black cannot achieve.

Fashionable Relay Challenge #30

8 Replies

How many of us thought it would take more than two months to work our way through the Fashionable Relay Challenge – and that we have is testament to the inspiration and guiding force behind the challenge Sasy Scarborough – and she will surely see us through to the end. I have enjoyed seeing the varied but always well-executed outfits throughout the challenge, but none more so than Elisabeth of Ou la la mode, so I was very pleased when Sasy asked me to pick up the baton after her. So, her outfit has several elements that I would love to build an outfit from including the jeans, vest, belt, hair and shoes. I ran around checking them out and finally decided on the Wide Belt Embossing from Coco because I needed a good casual prim belt.

Argyles and Tweeds, Yum!

Leave a reply

I wonder if I come by my love  of argyle and tweeds by way of my ancient ancestory Macbeth or poor Duncan, his murder victim. It’s one of the difficulties of being a descendent of both the murderer and the victim, to whom should I lay claim? Frankly I doubt either one of them had an argyle as lovely as this. I don’t think Lady MacBeth did either for that matter.  After all, IBizarre had not opened yet.

I Was In Error

2 Replies

Well, I was technically in Error when I shot these pictures – in the Error sim, that is. I really wanted to share with you this beautiful sim. Certainly, it’s not conventional beauty rife with flowers and greenery and lush with life, but a desolate beauty that draws you in.  I decided to wear the Creamshop Dalmation dress because its colors were so well-matched to the colors of the island.
