Bliensen & Maitai have found a new home in the Starlust region – on Horst, to be exact. To celebrate, there are new releases including shoes, jewelry and this incredible rainbow dress. Wait until you see the bottom, though that lovely rainbow froth of lace at the bodice gives you a hint.
Oh, I knew the second my eyes fell on this dress at Lelutka that I would have to do a bit of editing to fit it to my avatar – because it is almost completely sculptie. I also knew that second that it would be worth every second of editing. Following the current trend in RL fashion, the fabric is sheer and ethereal and skin is everywhere. Seriously, is there a more tantalizing top that that peek-a-boo on the side? That’s the reason for the careful editing, to make sure I can walk around and shop and not show more than I want to. Of course, if someone’s viewer doesn’t rez the sculptie immediately, they might see more than you intend because there is no glitch covering the breasts.You know what, it’s worth the risk.
To be perfectly honest, Saturday was an odd day. I woke up disgustingly early and found myself wandering back for a short nap around 7 AM or so…and slept until 4 in the afternoon. That is not a good plan for accomplishment and ticking off to-do lists, let me tell you. How wonderful then, that the One Year Anniversary Party for the Rouge Sim was a 12 hour party – so I could sleep through part of it, take care of some to-do’s and still not miss it. I was lucky enough to get there in time for the SLAG Burlesque Show.
I invited a guy I know to come, but I guess, “hey, you want to come watch a burlesque show?” creates the wrong impression. Scared him to death! Anyway, for the event, I wore this lovely black and rouge lingerie dress that was ideal for sitting and dancing – and looking good while doing it.
How many of you have a granny square afghan made by some older relative who tirelessly crocheted multitudes of color scraps of yarn into rosettes and squares and then painstakingly sewed or crocheted them together? Well, Crochet takes that ubiquitous crocheted rosette favored by grannies the world over and puts them to very un-grannylike use. Ahem…I present to you the Crochet Candy Bikini & Skirt – though it would be more appropriately named Shock Your Granny!
Granny says "Eep!"
It’s Friday – and I am feeling casual and denim suits my mood, so luckily there’s this lovely little jumper from Kunglers in a soft denim. With grey denim trim at the waist, this is a nice casual day dress that goes anywhere. Suiting all weather, too, as you can easily slip a turtleneck sweater underneath.
So I can show off another Modern Gypsy outfit. Seriously, I know this is the third in as many days, but I love them and didn’t really pay attention when shooting. With this one, I love the new silhouette he is creating. It’s so much fun to see people working with sculpties to give our clothing more options as far as fit and shape. This loosly fitting shift dress is a wonderful demonstration of how sculpties are changing SL fashion.
I wore this Friday night – the evening of Bandana Day and dutifully wore it with a bandana even though I went to the grand opening party of the new Naive store. I really enjoyed the dance which was dj’ed by Summer Deadlight who worked the playlist with humorous little sets of songs that kept the party mood light, happy and a bit antic. I thought it might be declasse to wear something by someone else to the Naive party, but then realized that of course it was not. So I wore this love party dress from Modern Gypsy. He’s just released a new collection, though when I ran over to check it out, what’s the first thing that caught my eye? This little number from his last collection. Oh well, I don’t mind being trailing edge fashion when it looks this hot and is this perfect for a dance party. Continue reading
It’s about time I show you the other dress I used when snapping all the Hair Fair pictures. This again has a simple neckline and does nothing to distract from framing the hair beautifully. From Pixel Dolls, it’s called Cashmere and definitely projects that soft and sensuous fabric.
I love it when Second Life designers decide to work on something together. It’s a testament to the openness of SL Fashion Community and to the freindships and connections people make though Second Life and through their mutual love of fashion. In this case, Leah McCullough of Naive and Mouse Mimistrobell of Dark Mouse produced completementary dresses and jewelry.
Elise by Draconic Kiss is one of the many fashions at Crimson Shadow -
I can’t seem to think very well this morning and do want to show you the enormous amount of fun I had deconstructing and playing with a little red dress I picked up at Crimson Shadow. I took a little bit from Naive and Digit Darkes and just had some fun…and put them together and what did I get?

Here the top from Naive's Mooney dress erases every bit of Gothiness. A belt from Artilleri united them.

Now, toss in Digit Darkes tulle skirt while keeping the short Elise skirt as an overskirt/ruffle and get some real elegance. The DD tulle skirt should be in every wardrobe as it seems to go with anything.
