The Way I Feel About You -It Just Can't Be Wrong!

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.

I’ve got some strict rules in my life. One of which is that when watching musicals, you are required to sing along, with gusto, any song you know.   My Fair Lady is probably one of the harder pull off as the ridiculous soprano is impossible to sing but – you get the point.

You must sing. LOUD. With Feeling.

I could’ve DAAAAAAAAAAAAAANCED ALL NIGHT…….like that. Continue reading →

A Velvet Sunday

Our friend Maht was dj-ing at the Velvet a couple of weeks ago and I actually was able to get in world during the day, so I thought I’d pop over and visit my friends and listen to his set.

This was exactly the excuse I needed to pull out these plaid pants from Little Rebel. The set comes with three pair of pants and this tintable tank and was exactly the sort of comfy/indie look I wanted at the Velvet that afternoon. Continue reading →

Adam & Eve is one of those stores I NEVER shop at enough. I don’t know why. Maybe because it’s not one of those stores that got ingrained in me when I was a noob. It’s certainly not for lack of quality – it’s lovely stuff. And it’s not because of the creator being a jerk – far from it – Sachi Vixen has never been anything but lovely to me.

Why do I always forget to shop there? I have to rectify it.  Note to self, go back to Adam & Eve tonight and find something pretty!

So my only two trips to Vegas were via the company I worked for, business trips of various sorts. Despite that, I got to look from my “I’m just here on business with no cash for nutty stuff” point of view at some of the legendary Vegas activities.

Such as, prostitution!

The last time I went,our company rented out the entire Treasure Island/Mirage hotel complex (ahem yeah it was a big company) and put up every manager and above from around the world.

One of my two favorite moments in Vegas came in the casino by the elevators to the tower rooms at the Treasure Island.  I step off the elevator and walk toward the bar, where the president of my division (my boss) is seated, chatted up by this bejeweled girl in bright green. Continue reading →

The sweep of motion in this scarf Cajsa captured put me in mind of that great song, who is it by, the Kinks? 

Another Saturday Another Date

She would be ready but she’d always make him wait

In the front hall in anticipation…..he didn’t know the night

would end up in frustration…..

he’d end up blowing all his wages for the week……..

all for a cuddle and a peck on the cheek……

COME DANCING!

I mean, that totally IS this girl, right?

🙂 Who me? Continue reading →

My social season may be off, because just when “The Season” should be wrapping up for RL – I’m suddenly social butterfly this weekend.  I had logged in on Friday night to putz about and received an invitation to Belle LeFavre and her husband Jackson’s party they were hosting.

I wasn’t dressed properly but had picked up several cocktail type dresses at Little Rebel recently so I picked out one called Martini Time and popped over. Continue reading →

Simple, Elegant

So wandering around Zaara I spied her collection of dresses from the Amsterdam Fashion Week and as one who covets that which they do not possess (such as the ability to ever attend runway events bcse of their times) I knew I had to have one of them.

I picked up Melissa and ran back to my house to accessorize it, in love with the slink line (very Oscar de la Renta from a time before you pixels were born) and simplicity of color blocking.

And then I was stumped. Continue reading →

R-E-S-P-E-C-T for FLAIR

You find precious few people to respect on the grid. Oh don’t get me wrong – I always find LOTS of people to LIKE. But I’m a bit drawn to rakes and ruffians of various ilk -so the grid really is like mother’s milk in that department.

But when you talk about RESPECT, people with true ethics and who “do the right thing” well….ok they’re few and far between.  Which is why I’m giving a shout out to my friend Sasy Scarborough, the creator of the shoes on my feet.  Sasy is one of those people, that after I have a moment where my only response is *BLINK* – I IM Sasy and say “SASY! WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?”

Or “Sasy, why does this look this way? Is this INTENTIONAL what the hell?”

They are only available on Xstreet, the former SLX. You can get them in a MULTITUDE of colors HERE. (I am wearing the dollarbies, so you can pick up one pair to check them out and then go buy the rest because you are addicted). Continue reading →

Yourskin is Delightful

You might think that I like every skin given to me, that like a crack-fiend – I can find no flaw with my drug of choice.

And that is where you would be wrong. You see – I try on a LOT of skins, I receive many as review items and others I go hunting down based on blogs and plurks about what people have released.

Much of the time I slip into the new pixel shell and say OH HELL WHAT IS THIS?

You never see those skins. Because I want to look pretty, and I want YOU to look pretty, therefore it only behooves me to bring you that which pleases me and I hope will please you.

Thus, Yourskin. Continue reading →
