I am wearing one of the many options for the new Nico dress from Maitreya. It comes in several colors and prints and has an easy summer style with its loose and breezy shape. It is, however, impossibly short for me. Of course, that makes it so very flexible. I could wear it with leggings as a dress or with pants as a top.
True story. I shot a bunch of pictures of the new Glam Affair skin and some pretty lingerie from Sn@tch. Then I decided I didn’t like them. Continue reading
I was DJing the other night and decided this new dress from Glam Affair for faMESHed fit the bill perfectly. It comes in pink, mint and black and features a dramatic asymmetrical skirt with a belted empire waist. It really is a lovely dress for dancing though I had to choose relatively simple dances to avoid exposing the alpha texture that made my avatar’s body disappear. Of course, nearly all dresses place some constraints on what dances I use, so that’s no big deal to me.
Speaking of alpha textures. It would be nice if creators made alphas at the absolute minimum size. This skirt stands out a bit from the hips, so I wonder if the alpha could have ended at the waist or at the hip bone rather than continuing down to the thigh. Of course, I was too lazy to make my own, but considering how sexy this dress is, it would be lovely for the sexy lingerie I was wearing to show. It would certainly allow for a more rambunctious dance – perhaps one with a kick or two.
So then, today is Truth Hawk’s birthday. We’re all wishing him a Happy Birthday as good friends should but, I had a eureka moment earlier that I think I’m going to have to share.
You see, Truth and I aren’t terribly close but I do like him. As a blogger, I can honestly say he’s the dealer of one of my drugs of choice, hair. Hair baby hair mama, everywhere daddy daddy….
But, I realized something today. Today is Truth’s birthday. Today is Charlie Sheen’s birthday. Truth lives in LA. Charlie Sheen lives in LA. I NEVER SEE THEM TOGETHER. And, obviously Charlie Sheen could not worry about losing that gig on 2 and a Half Men since he OBVIOUSLY HAD HIS SL TRUTH HAIR MONEY TO FALL BACK ON. Oh yes, I’m on to you MISTER HAWKS. I HAVE SEEN THROUGH YOU RUSE.
I’m not saying, I’m JUST SAYING.
🙂 HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRUTH !!!! Continue reading
Well I guess it would be nice, if I could touch your body.
I know not everybody, has got a body like you.
But I gotta think twice,
Before I give my heart away, and I know all the games you play
Because I play them too.
Well I need some time off, from that emotion
Time to pick my heart back off the floor
And when that love comes down without devotion
Well it takes a strong girl baby, but I’m showing you the door,
Because you gotta have Faith…
George Michael’s song has been running through my head ever since PXL Creations launched it’s newest skin release, FAITH. Â I opted to put Gidge in the freckled version of the skin with her favorite pinks and purples for make up and I’m pretty sure she’s as cute as a can be.
You need to go demo this skin, it’s hitting a sweet spot of youthful beauty yet mature sexy that I’m loving.
Come on, you gotta have Faith.
I’m also showing you the gorgeous new release from Trompe Loeil which is a beautiful gilded bed that comes in an array of colors of bedding to suit any decor.
“I’ve reconsidered my foolish notion, well I need someone to hold me but I’ll wait for something more. Because I’ve gotta have Faith.”
Now go shopping.

Kunglers has released a new dress called Eleanor with six texture options – from pop art stripes to sexy pyhon. Â I was drawn to the python even though I generally like snakes. I was not always fond of snakes and certainly hold a snake responsible for breaking my wrist when I was in 9th grade. I was climbing in Montana and was startled by a rattler while on a cliff. Considering I fell 60 feet, I guess a broken wrist was nothing to complain about. In college, though, I worked at the Minnesota Children’s Museum and one of my duties was showing the snakes and feeding them. I developed a fondness for Squeeze – who was incredibly well-named even though he was a mouse murderer.
A chiffonzie is a designer who automatically reaches for the silk chiffon when making a dress. It’s a new term coined by some Project Runway competitors to refer to a small cadre of drape-addicted designers who seem to only design with silk chiffon. Appolonia Criss is not a chiffonzie. She uses all sorts of fabrics and designs highly structured as well as soft, flowing work. However, this silk chiffon dress is a wonderful example of what a chiffonzie can do – make a delightfully feminine froth of a dress.
Donna Flora added another dress to their Vintage Fair offerings. It’s a luscious little dress released in ten colors (See vendor pic 1 and pic 2.) including this glorious gold silk charmeuse. It’s amazing how beautifully shiny the silk is, but then you see the inset piping around the breasts and at the waist, and just have to marvel at Squinternet Larnia’s texturing ability.
All of the best things in my Second Life I do with Cajsa. That’s no lie. Anything awesome and spectacular started with us going “what if we did ….” and suddenly we’ve got something that makes us both squee.
This box of light is like that. Cajsa had started messing about with projectors and boxes and  then we realized that once again, the symbiotic nature of our relationship fit together perfectly – she could build it and I could script it with poses and we’d have something beautiful. Continue reading
Since Gidge and I have been playing with projectors lately, a few people have checked out the tutorials and asked a few questions about how to do it. So Gidge got the great idea of setting up a pose box with the projector and light leak texture built right in along with some poses situated in the sweet spot where the projectors come together. Thus the Status Dual Projector Box 1.0 was born. It makes taking fun pictures as easy as 123. But first, let’s take a look at this gorgeous top and skirt from Baiastice for Vintage Fair. It comes in several colors and you can put the same color top and skirt together to look more like a dress, but I love hot pink and lime – they are just the perfect expression of summer. I love the easy style of the top and skirt with the great details that make it special, like the inset belt and the soft pleating at the hem of the skirt.
