I am busy this morning and only have a few minutes to share this lovely dress from Magnolia that I wore to Stacie Pryor’s birthday party on Monday. See how far I am behind!! With it I am wearing a rocking hot handbag from KA Designs, the phyton and that is not a typo.
Sometimes the weekend cannot come fast enough and we anticipate the weekend with Casual Fridays. That’s what is happening here combining one of the fab new men’s shirts from artilleri and a skirt from Milk Motion.
Ben Harper is one of my favorite singer/songwriters. It’s a joy to listen to him explore all sorts of musical roots and genres as he seeks a good song – which he once said was really what it is all about – a good emotional song. I was listening to him this morning and had hit the ITunes Genius button and the Genius decided to play “If I Could Hear My Mother Pray Again” Oh yeah, that was an emotional song. Thirty minutes and three hankies later, I can finish posting this great separates from the new Royal Blue Collection which will be released on the 13th and share a more cheerful Ben Harper song. Okay, it doesnt’ start out cheerful, but it gets there.
This week you have seen how Evie’s Closet dresses can make you feel like a Princess and a Jazz Queen. Today, however, I am featuring a dress that will make you have visions of empire. Yes, this is a dress for the doyenne of dominions in every hemisphere. Queen Victoria, Empress Theodora, Maria-Theresa, these are the rulers worthy of this regal power and elegance. Just look at that skirt – it’s made for sweeping up tiny countries.

It started out simply enough. I’m in World. Cajsa is in World. One of us says “Wanna shoot?” – the other agrees and she TPs me into her photo studio at MDR. I land in the sphere with her and wander out to the platform to wait for the world to rezz a bit.
Ya with me?
I spin around and take a look at the cute outfit she’s got on, sweet little casual skirt look with a denim jacket. Myself I was wearing my “PRIM WHORE” shirt from Weirdiculous that I got for my first REZZ day and had my title all planned out “KNOW THYSELF”……..
I had planned to be witty. Continue reading
Sundays are probably when I spend the most time just playing on the grid, exploring sims and generally just having a lot of fun before heading over to the Velvet for Maht’s DJ session that I know will always be a fun and interesting set. This Sunday’s set featured singers and bands from Chicago – and it was a revelation how much great music comes from the Windy City considering he didn’t play any blues. I dressed in a hurry for the session, but love the look that came together. Afterwards, I headed out to Sasy Scarborough’s new digs:
I received a fun little swimsuit from Kunsthammer today – actually a humongous package of several colors on every layer with two options for the bottoms – an itsy bitsy teeny weeny bikini and these boy shorts with the lovely little belt and string ties. Now for some reason, the string ties attached about half a meter from my hips, but that was an easy enough adjustment as they were lined up in every other orientation. What made this such a serendipitous folder of goodies is the the other folder of goodies I received from Ryker Beck of Genesis – her new Candace skin which she’s packing into vendors and setting to launch. The way that dynamo works, I bet they will be out before this is posted.
There was a little girl who had a little curl, right in the middle of her forehead. Okay, you all know I edit hair all the time, tinting it to suit, moving a strand of hair out of the way for a hat or for a photo, depending on the need. I just always make sure I am working with a copy. Now I have no sorry tale of woe, nothing like that. No, what I have is a sorry tale of not looking from multiple angles. I recently edited this hair a bit because I wanted my earrings to show in an outfit. So there I was shooting this outfit and noticing this curl going in front of my face and wanting to move it, but try as I might I could not select it. I kept missing. Finally, I cam out to see what in the heck is going on…and that one curl was about half a meter in front of my face, just so well lined up with my other hair, I could not see it from the angles I had been looking. So definitely, I had a curl right in the middle of my forehead and leading by half a meter. Moral of the story: After you are done editing, cam from multiple anges to check for silly things like that.
Naming clothing must get difficult for designers. There’s so many options – naming them after friends, places, animals, objects and inventing names or just being really, really kind and naming them descriptively. For example, this dress could be called glittery green dress with a feather skirt. It could be called Candy Wrapper. However, it is called Tree. Okay, let’s give credit to the designer who actually did name it descriptively Sequined Halterneck Dress Tree Mix. Mix because there are three outfits in the box all the with main color being green and all using the same green skirt, though there is also a black skirt option without the bright green tips. It makes me smile, because even though trees are green, nothing about this makes me think of trees. Neon, show girls, burlesque, bars, dance halls, gambling, dancing, les Folies Bergere, the Moulin Roughe, the Golden Nugget. Yes, it makes me think of lots of things, but not trees. Still, isn’t it adorable? and when you realize that the set includes two other similar outfits with just a slightly different color emphasis – it’s such a deal.
I fell in love with this adorable little pinstripe skirt from Humby Designs and could not wait to style it. The folder comes with two lenghs for the dress, including one shorter than this. At first I put on a plain red blouse with red tights and black shoes. It looked nice enough, but it just did not have the pow I wanted to really show off how splendid this skirt really is, so I thought perhaps a different blouse and started trying on other red tops. Now somehow this top made its way into my red folder (perhaps a misfile since Prints are right above Red) and when I put it on, my first thought was Why Not?. So here we are.
