My old boyfriend Schrottvogel Wei has earned a good reputation for his swimsuits, but his main focus has been his custom surfboards. However, he is expanding his bikini line, launching his new store VOGEL with 59 new bikinis. Why 59? It just happened that way. Anyway, Vogel means bird, hence the adorable logo on the derriere and in the post title.
All but the most flamboyantly exhibitionist of us have an outfit or two that we adore but are reluctant to wear due to over-exposure. So, we might wear the outfits only with our beloved – knowing that sort of exposure is a treat for his eyes alone. But, taking a few minutes, we can make ourselves some undergarments that will make the outfits something we can wear in public and not worry.
In this post, I am wearing two SHAMELESS outfits that defnitely expose everything, a feature, not a bug, in the eyes of the daring designer Trinity Eales. For me, pixel prude that I am, I needed a solution. Continue reading
Let me make one thing perfectly clear, I am not hating on the Rolling Stones. They rock my world. It’s just a reference to the stones in the necklace and the shoes, plain, highly polished river rock by the look of it. I started this outfit off backwards, starting with the sash from Paper Couture’s Gypsy Moon outfit. However, when a sash is that lovely, sometimes it has to be the inspiration.
I find new-to-me stores all sorts of ways, from FashCon notices, reading about them here on the fashion blogs, or just wandering around a shopping district and discovering their fashionable goodness. But now I have a new way to find out about designers and creators – tips from our blog readership. I got such a tip from regular reader Reverie Boucher who wanted me to check out her favorite store – Black Moon – as she felt it and its designer Vanilla Sola deserved more attention than they receive.

I am sincerely appreciative of the many freebies and group gifts showered on Second Life’s residents by the clothing designers and creators. Some however, do strive to create group gifts that are in a different class and in that group, Sissy Pessoa is the Gold Medalist. From Grandma’s Closet to Snake Outfits to this lovely new gift this month that includes a chair and two cigarettes in holders for all you smoking AV’s out there. Me, I quit smoking July 8th, so when i took a puff my eyes closed. The next snap would have been me sneezing. : )
Linden Labs has made me very happy recently. They seem to have solved the infamous system skirt issue. Now I have been struggling with the system skirt problem since last November and according to the Linden who dealt with me on this issue time and again, the very first to report any such problem. I don’t know about that, but I sure know I was not the last. There are thousands of skirt glitch sufferers. But back to the happy news that system skirts are working again! Continue reading

Okay. I’ve been eyeballing these pants at Sn@tch for a while. But it was only when I realized how great they’d go with the group gift from Pixeldolls shirt that I finally made the jump and went and picked them up.
Now, you’ve seen this shirt. Everyone on planet earth blogged it when it came out.
And it’s a really fun, festive design.
But my thing is, with few exceptions, I don’t blog things just because I just got them. Review items aside, I’m blogging for you WHAT I WEAR. So I’m not just saying “here is some crap in my closet isn’t it cool?” This is actually what I wore one day in SL, and then saved as an outfit. So my inventory becomes a bit of a journal of what I did and where I went. Continue reading
All week I have watched the build up to the Dress-Off between Alphamale and Blacklace designers Yelmer Pfeffer and Mariska Simons. Having never met either of them, I am not particularly invested in whether he wears a dress or she goes bald, but I was curious what that sort of motivation coudl engender. And of course I have no idea who made what, but I know which dress got my vote. After buying the dress, I instantly knew I had to photograph it at Crucible. Continue reading

It was at a 4th Friday Art Exhibit I hosted once at Vicious (yeah I used to make them do cultural stuff ….no shooting the artistes)…that I was exposed to the vibrant, kinetic artwork of Elros Tuominen. Cajsa was friends and had suggested his sculptures for our next event, so I said sure no problem and we were set.
You’ve seen SL art. A lot of it is shite. But when you run into something different, something that makes you say…..Oooooo I like this…..then you’ve hit on it. Whatever IT is. Continue reading

I’m dogmatic about my eyes. I never change them. It’s to the point where I often think I’ll forget to list them in the fashion details – FNKY – PURPLE RAIN. Yet when I recently picked up this festive limited edition skin at Juicy it came packed full of these iridescent eyes with butterfly pupils.
A soft pink make up with delicate details for a girly girl seemed just my sort of skin to have hanging in the closet and I loved the idea of there being only a limited number of them being sold. I immediately knew what carnival of pink I’d drape over this new skin. Continue reading
