Dress Me Up Challenge – Gidge in Harajuku by Candy Lemmon

I look at a lot of Harajuku in RL, the style fascinates me. So when I was challeged to do a Harajuku piece by Candy Lemmon, I immediately knew I wanted a big fluffy coat thing – I’ve been seeing them in mags slapped over the mismatched plaids and heavy handed cloth worn by the youth culture that defines Harajuku.

A big old silly fur coat. If I could find one in fun colors that’d be even better, but when I ran into this WHITE one, which was exactly what I wanted, a floofy white fur coat from Ookami Ningen I KNEW KNEW KNEW what I wanted to do.

I wanted to go Ice Skating. Continue reading →

Cursed Stones Are The Perfect Holiday Gift

Abraxxa Anatine of Earthstones is one of my favorite jewelry designers on the grid, so when she gave me the opportunity to review her Tokon Chained cuffs and collar I knew which stones I’d wear.

October’s Cursed Stone – OPAL.

Roman tradition says that if you aren’t born in October, you will be CURSED for wearing this stone.  Having been BORN in October, I do like to rock the opals whenever I can – just to flaunt it at the jewelry gods and their silly rules.

Who knew the Romans had jewelry gods, anyway? Continue reading →

My husband, Silo Uriza, has interjected that I should postcript that title with “And I don’t put out either…..”  but you know. I sort of thought that might drive away any trade……..

Ever have hair that you love even though it’s a hot mess? There’s nothing ugly about this hair from CAKE – yet, I can’t help wanting to give myself a hot oil treatment everytime I see me in it. 

There is something so realisitically overprocessed about this hair – I can see the split ends, I swear.

I wasn’t originally putting together a hookerific outfit – I had picked up a freebie cocktail gown – Meshindo’s Gift – but, I had a problem with the skirt. And herein I have a confession. Continue reading →

Took Me Long Enough to get Elfy – didn’t it? I’m having system issues, give me love.

So, Elfy.

Hmmm. I know some elves. And pixies of various sorts. Now, this condition is possibly only symptomatic of the elvies and pixes I know – but they are all consistently badly dressed. I’m not kidding. I wonder sometimes, if they don’t rock the BIAB clothes out of the role play sims and keep some fantastic costumes that I never get to see while fully into their Elf role play. Continue reading →

I Got Some New Legs, These Go All The Way Up

My friend QXI Gears has been producing raw erotic images in SL for some time, but finally she’s opened her own gallery. Silo and I both managed to make the event (it’s been forever since we have BOTH been able to attend something together) and I ran through my inventory like MAD looking for this dress for the party.

I knew I had it. I just couldn’t remember who made it or what it was called.

And no, I don’t organize my inventory at all. You might shriek with HORROR If you beheld all 30,000 items scattered hither and yon the way they are. I find everything by it’s NAME or by designer. I went here, I went there, I ran into Digit Darkes telling Sasy “I AM LOOKING FOR A DRESS I ALREADY OWN – I FORGET IT’S NAME” – and I am sure she thought I was whacked. However, VOILA! I found it!

Cajsa asked, out on Plurk, what designers of note are underblogged. She shared with me the other day the list that came back and I mentally went through and said “blogged them, blogged them, blogged them…..” but then she got to Kurotsubaki and I said “Oh yeah, I own some pieces but I’ve never blogged them.” and slipped into this baby doll dress.

Baby, It's COLD Outside

I seem to be collecting more sweaters this year – perhaps it’s because I’m spending more time wallowing in snowy builds that lend themselves to sensible, warm gear.  Cajsa introduced me to Boom and they were gracious enough to give me a yummy sweater to review.

How's About a Free Dress?

Cajsa has been singing the praises of Little Rebel anytime we have to go somewhere that low ARC is appropriate, and sometimes just because she wants to. I was one of those people plagued by the SYSTEM SKIRT conundrum (they didn’t work if you don’t know – for some of us) so I never really saw the POINT of bothering with shopping at Little Rebel.

It almost seemed cruel to taunt myself with clothes I couldn’t actually WEAR OUT.

Last Christmas, I Gave You My Heart – An It's Only Fashion PSA

……but the very next day,  you gave it away.

This year, to save me from tears – I’ll give it someone special.

-George Michael

First off, let this be a lesson to all of us, don’t pick up guys on Christmas. That’s just tacky. And I think we all know that “heart” is a metaphor – so now, let’s all agree together. No picking up guys on Christmas. It only ends in heartache and breathy songs of heartbreak. Continue reading →
