I’m clearly on a Diva Kick. I told Cajsa I was dressing up as Patti LaBelle but I must’ve been LISTENING to Patti but thinking Chaka because this girl obviously sings for Rufus.
I swear to GOD I saw her in this dress on You Tube.
Who knew Chaka Khan shopped at Casa del Shai? Continue reading

When I lived with my best friend Laura, we were avid watchers of Absolutely Fabulous. One of our great hoots was how Edina could wear the most hideous thing, and she’s whine “It’s LA CROIX SWEETIE!” and Patsy would demur,”It’s FABULOUS.”
We’d do that to one another almost daily, peels of laughter ringing out through our roach ridden apartment.
So it’s funny to me, a bit, that when I put on anything new from Tres Jolie, my first instinct is ALWAYS – “It’s FABULOUS!” and I’m always worried people will think I mean it in that AbFab way…which couldn’t be further from the truth. Continue reading

I have three stories all related to this post. The first is that from the moment I saw this dress from Casa del Shai, I HAD to have it and dress up like Tina Turner. Why?
First Story:
When I was three my grandma asked me who was going to be for Halloween. I said I wanted to be that lady in the red dress. She smiled down at me indulgently and said,”Who?” So I said “You know – dat lady that SINGS and dances around in that red dress!” Again, thinking I’m so cute, she says “Who honey?” At which point I apparently started shaking and shimmying and belting out a three year old’s version of PROUD MARY.
Yes, I wanted to be Tina Turner. You can imagine how well that went over in a conservative, white-bread midwestern household. Personally I wish we had it on tape.
Story 2 Continue reading

I used to have a different Second Life. It was full of friends and fun and parties, but it wasn’t always so good. Like so many of the Second Lives you read about in places like SCD Secrets. But then I met a new friend, originally hired to help me out with events like the one pictured above, and below.
And what ended up happening was that we had all these great ideas, and all these really elaborate events and parties. And we had the very best time – even when it was annoying…..it was fun to us.
But then it stopped being fun. Continue reading

For all the girls on a budget who love elegance, Lemania’s Hunt is going to be THE place to stock up on elegant gowns, from evening to cocktail. This little number has me shouting “CIGAR?CIGARETTE?” Cajsa totally has a tray that dispenses drinks and cigarettes in long holders……I should’ve worn! Continue reading

People shop at different places for different reasons. I shop at Digit Darkes religiously because it was the first nice store I ever went to. I remember being in awe at how pretty the clothes were, and how amazing the shoes were. Such a step up from the freebie box crap I was wearing. Continue reading

Okay I don’t have a song. This one is just a quick but I wanted to show you some great free stuff, both hunt and NON Hunt.
The clothes are from Merlynn’s Closet which is new to me. I TPd over on a notice of a free outfit to check them out and I’m really digging the casual pieces she gave away (pictured). The top was available in multiple layers (YAY! GOOD CREATOR!) with different options and the pants are a nice rich texture that has good details. So YAY! I’m not sure these are still free but their quality warrants a visit! I’m totally going back. Continue reading
