Yippee Ki-Yay - M*ther-F*cker!

When Alice07 Barzane announced that the Peppermint Blue 1 Year Anniversary Party was going to be a Western Theme……I knew where I was going to turn. While I LOVE the fun of just hunting up stuff via search (I actually do) – looking up stores I might not have heard of etc to see what they have, I’d been looking for a reason to pick up WASTELAND COWGIRL from Bare Rose for quite a while.

I don’t normally look for a reason to pick up clothes, but this kind of falls into the “Costume” milieu of my closet and I don’t generally just collect costumes without cause. Yet, from the instant I saw this one on Phil’s place posted by Tori….I knew I wanted it. Pink Leather Chaps?!?! PLEASE! Continue reading

Reflections of The Way Life Used To Be

 

Reflections of The Love You Took From Me

Reflections of The Love You Took From Me

Through the mirror of my mind
Time After Time
I see reflections of you and me………

Happiness you took from me
And left me alone

With only memories

This new Reflections Dress from Digit Darkes is so elegant yet so overpoweringly sentimental, I immediately started singing the old Supremes song when I put it on. This is a dress for a night of elegance and romance.  I am wearing “Festival” and the name belies the depth of the dress.  It’s bold feathery skirt and elegant feminine bodice are a visual contrast that is even more emphasized by the drop waist.

Me n' My Droogs Can't Make Up our Rassoodocks What To Do

I originally had a mind to write this entire post a la A Clockwork Orange but figured many of you might poke out your minds eye trying to translate Alex’s lingo. I also thought that I might poke out my own brain trying to DO the translation, so decided to let it go.

I’ve been looking for something to wear with these excellent boots of Miffy’s (disclosure – from my shop Don’t Ask) and while doing the car wash shoot the other night, Cajsa and I wandered into Go Ask Alice and I spied these cargo shorts……and a light went off.  WIth prim pocket attachments for a more authentic worn pocket look I’m in love with these. Slouchy, casual, comfortable, and just perfect for a night of ULTRA-VIOLENCE if you ask me. Continue reading

Reflections in the Starlight

When I first took this dress from Digit Darkes out of the box, it made me think of stars twinkling among the scudding clouds ona moonlit night. The sky is seldom black when the moon and clouds are out, clear nights give you black skies, but those cloudy nights the sky can be the color of pewter. So, I designed to shoot this dress in the clouds – which is the material Digit must have used to spin this dress – it floats like a cloud.

Drat That ARC!

So the designing mastermind Sissie Pessoa has a fashion show yesterday @ 1 PM SLT. I planned to go and when I checked the notice, I saw there was a dress code requiring black. So I started dressing and I thought to myself, “Self, you really should lower your ARC, that hair is 2000 all by itself.”  So I took off my hair and set to dressing to lower my ARC (not to 1, this wasn’t a challenge) to below 200.  After a little trying on of different styles, I chose the Cake hair style which was low in ARC.

Treasures Found

I only spent a few minutes at Sari’s treasure hunt looking for the big balls of yarn, but was thrilled with my find – a lovely Indian print outfit featuring this blouse with a different  skirt. After I put it on, I felt like exploring and went to ShowCase, the new search feature that replaces the Most Popular Places tab. It’s a great feature and has lead me to new places like the balloon ride – which crosses something like 20 sims and takes 30 minutes. Continue reading

Peppermint Blue One Year Anniversary – FREE GIFT!

Posted by Gidge Uriza

Once Upon a Time at the Vicious Mall – I sent out a group IM for models. I said that the first 10 girls to respond would get to be models and of course keep the clothes. Alice07 Barzane responded, and despite her little English and my zero Japanese, we had a splendid afternoon taking pictures of clothes that would be for sale at Vicious Fairy. Continue reading

I Need A Dress That Says……

posted by Gidge Uriza

(just an author’s note – all sentiments listed below are actually one year old – they were the motivation for the dress’s purchase)

  • I am no longer to be considered trivial
  • I am not extra, I am part of the crew – as a matter of fact, I do more than you
  • Your boyfriend asked me to be his date for the grand opening of his club
  • He asked me because you are out of town, but it’s a real date
  • I am competing with you
  • Pay attention, because here I am, and I’m not leaving
  • I am powerful, I am beautiful and if you are bad to me, I will rock your world

What sort of dress expresses so much power and fashion? What sort of dress REALLY puts you out there….so that you CANNOT be ignored?

I thought this one did. Continue reading
