I Didn't Get Skin…At Ray Skin

Leave a reply

posted by Gidge Uriza

It was at Ray Skin that I was Serenaded by a foreigner, crooner tunes by the PLEASUREMAN Gunther and I have to admit it was distracting. After all, despite liking an outfit, I like to sort of understand it as well. And I couldn’t concentrate on figuring this out with all the “oooo you touched my tra-la-la” going on.

I have no idea what this is.

I mean, I LIKE IT. I actually like it a lot. I like the color and the construction but like…….Retro? Vintage? Neko? Harajuku? Barbie Armegeddon? Urban Primitive? (ok not the last one) Continue reading →

Silo returns to Civ, asking “Oh, got a lot of pointy hats do they?”

Gidge looks over, “Remarkably few, actually.”

Quick Look: ICON Jewelry

I was strolling around shopping one night, trying to decide if I wanted new shoes at Juicy, trying to decide if I wanted this or that, when I wandered into ICON. Featuring jewelry in sets and bags, and other accessories, I was surprised I hadn’t found them before.  The purses are what first caught my eye and somehow I got out with one though! How’d THAT happen?

But I did get THIS! Continue reading →

One Day Only Freebie At Lemania

Red and pink have been the color of the season so I was kind of tickled to see such an icy winter blue being given away at Lemania to her group.  Like so many of her designs, it’s a fancy – there’s nothing practical about it.

Which is exactly what I like. Good grief why play on the Grid and be PRACTICAL? (note – I think this dress is being retired also based on the description on it) Continue reading →

Let Efe Rock You, Chaka Khan

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 →

Tres Jolie? It's FABULOUS!

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 →

Before I Was Broke…..I Bought More Hair

There are a handful of jewelers in SL I really like. Bliensen and MaiTai have a special place in my heart, I must confess, because they sent me the first review pack of jewelry I ever got. I still feel the damn way if they send me something, too. “OOO! ME? WHAT? You sent ME a present?”  Delight & joy, like Christmas for a grown up pixel girl.

So you can IMAGINE how perplexed I was when I found this darling necklace sitting in my inventory, and that I not only hadn’t worn it – I hadn’t SHOWN YOU!  What a doofus. Continue reading →

Big Wheel Keep On Turnin'……..3 Stories about Efe

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.

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 →
