Green leopard boots with color change gems? Are you serious? I don’t understand why these didn’t give me a CALL to come over and fetch them. These boots were one of my MANY green pickups during Callie’s big green L$99 sale – and then I added the jeans when she had her big L$10 sale right after.
She’s had some amazing sales lately. Continue reading

This week at Lemania it’s a summery ballgown in fun seasonal colors.
So I had to get a tan. Continue reading
Morning @ Embryo - wearing Icing's Vixen in Sapphire.
Rolling Stone, my favorite magazine, gave 14 pages of its latest issue to a profile of one of my favorite singer-songwriters, Kris Kristofferson who is most famous for such great songs as Me & Bobby McGee and Help Me Make It Through the Night. My favorite, though, has always been Sunday Morning Coming Down. In his article, actor-turned-journalist Ethan Hawke, described how when Johnny Cash was first supposed to sing this song on live TV, censors told him he could not say “wishing I was stoned” but that while on the air, he looked at Kristofferson and sang it the way it was written. That song seemd to fit the mood of my shoot at Embryo where I wore the lovely Vixen dress from Icing. I have to thank Bhaio Shan for sending me the landmark – it’s a lovely place, though “it makes a body feel alone.”
On the Sunday morning sidewalk,
Wishing, Lord, that I was stoned.
‘Cos there’s something in a Sunday,
Makes a body feel alone.
And there’s nothin’ short of dyin’,
Half as lonesome as the sound,
On the sleepin’ city sidewalks:
Sunday mornin’ comin’ down.
So a week ago or so, I saw a woman with fabulous medium length hair that she said she got at Analog Dog. I have gone looking several times now and I still haven’t found what I am looking for, but I did find this fab hairstyle that I fell in love with. I still want to find the other, but isn’t it fun to find something you love while looking for something else?
I cannot claim to be musically inclined although I come from a musical family. My father played banjo and sang in a Swedish folk band and on my mother’s side there are generations of professional musicians from opera singers to Grand Ole Opry stars. And I cannot carry a tune. It’s so unfair. Still, I love music and enjoy it in all its manifestations. Moxie Polano’s Piano dress is certainly a celebration of music – an extravagant celebration from the curving piano keys to the tiny little notes embellishing the shoulder.

So what’s fun about plurk is that you get to talk to all sorts of people throughout SL that you might never meet otherwise. And you get a chance to talk to creators a lot and if you get REALLY lucky somethings they throw out a “Hey Who Wants to check this out” kinds plurk and you can go ME ME ME ME! and pick up something cool – often before it’s release.
But mostly what’s fun is just the random banter, and the chatter of a group of voices who are becoming friendsd. Who kid and tease and joke with one another.
Which is how I got this outfit. Continue reading
Poor Allison on American Idol. Why did she get trashed for her outfit? It actually had the potential for fabulous and only a few changes would have made it great, but still, it’s a singing competition, not America’s Top Model. Actually, there were worse outfits on the stage that night and at least Allison’s dress fit her. I thought I might show how that outfit could look great – and used the lovely Saturday dress from Baiastice to show you.
Well, not really, but it sure looks like it. And it certainly could be given Gidge going all drama on us! However, I will still try to keep the drama free pledge and focus on this adorable little mashup. The blouse comes from one of those excesses of goodness you get at Bare Rose – the Angela jacket. You know June would never just give you a fat pack of jackets without something extra like this fabulouse white blouse that goes under the jacket. The skirt is made by maruko05 Aya whose store Shirohato is in Japan Village – a wonderful place for finding surprises. The skirt comes with a perfectly lovely white blouse, I just wanted to wear one that went all out with the outrageous prim collar like this gorgeous one from Bare Rose.

Lemania has this one available all week for free to her group. So if you have a ballgown monkey on your back, I think you should know by now that you can FEED that monkey by joining Lemania’s group and basking in the goodness she’s giving away both weekly and daily.
Run don’t walk. This one is only available until the end of the week. It’d be lovely for a special date this weekend, wouldn’t it?

I’m so fortunate that my best friend has exquisite taste and style. What that means is that I never get drug along on shopping trips where I go “Ummm, DO NOT WANT/KTHANXBY.” Instead of going “Oooooh, Oh DO WANT! DO WANT!”
Both Modern Gypsy and Exile are places like that for me. I wouldn’t have wandered in without Cajsa and now I’m addicted to their goodness. This short casual dress is called Desertmoon but at first I thought it said “dessert moon” and it put me in mind of dessert cafes of my 20s. Continue reading
