There may have been a 30 second lapse of time between seen the notecard about the new releases of jewels and my desire to obtain them.
Maybe.
I’m a sucker for jewelry, LIKE EVERY SINGLE OTHER ONE OF YOU DON’T LIE TO ME.
And when I find jewelry that makes me believe it been rented from Harry Winston, well, then I’m like a pot-head in Amerstdam. Continue reading

I always like to think I’m thorough before contacting a creator that something is wrong, simply because the problem usually exists between the keyboard and the chair.
But I slipped into the Shades of October shrug the other day and my first thought was, hmmm, where is the shirt? So then I’m slapping on other layers, and no matter what I did, I was all boobs in the wind – wearing a lovely shrug.
I’d had a problem a couple of days before with another creator’s stuff – the textures were borked and didn’t work so I kind of thought that might be going on, and IM’d Auguste Finair of Shades of October. She asked me if it was like the picture, and I said ,no I’m topless.
And promptly SENT her a topless pic of myself wearing the shrug. (She will probably sell it to you for a good price). Continue reading

I thought I’d take today to celebrate Sn@tch. Specifically MY Sn@tch.
Yes, this is in fact the best looking outfit in all of the Sn@tchdom.
It’s the GIDGE outfit, put together from several different releases of Ivey’s to make my personal favorite girly look. Continue reading
As a devoted Project Runway fan who has never missed an episode, I can remember dozens of outfits that impressed me coming down the runway only to crash into the Valley of Bad Design once the model turned and walked back to the curtain. A few episodes back Tim Gunn proffered some of his best advice ever, reminding the designer that good design is 360 degrees – looking good from all angles. Well, some designers he does not have to remind about that are Royal Blue’s Marni Grut and Kenzie & Co.’s Kenzie Craven. These clothes were created by designers so cognizant that good design looks great from the back and sides as well as the front, that I decided to showcase this look from the back.
The Kenzie & Co. Zipper Racerback is the most obviously designed with attention to the back – but look at the lovely Jodhpurs on Crack from Royal Blue – they make your bum look good and the houndstooth detailing adds interest coming and going. The photos were taken at The Looking Glass – a new build from Marcus Inkpen

Vogue made me happy by telling me that plaids are in this season. Of course, I could have told them that plaids should always be in, but that’s another story. Seriously though, can something as beautiful as this gorgeous full-length plaid taffeta skirt from Casa del Shai ever be anything but in? If this be plaid, give me more!
I shot this set at Alpha Point – a sim I discovered linguistically. I have shot many times at Omega Point. I don’t know why it took me this long to wonder whether there being an Omega meant there was an Alpha, but it did. I did a search and there it was. Alpha and Omega – should have known long ago.

Amase Levasseur is another volunteer guest stylist. I met her when she came with her partner to get some pictures taken of them and she quickly became a favorite. She is one of those people who is enjoying SL to the fullest – and always willing to come for some fun times. Here’s what she had to say about the guest styling post, “Caj and Gidge among others have encouraged me to do some mixing and matching and playing with accessories to make outfits my own instead of just “off the rack” in both SL and RL. It’s much more fun now to figure out just the right mix to claim or own a look rather than it wearing me!”
We stopped by the gas station at Virtual Decay for some photos.

I love the brilliant mix of colors in the new Paper Couture collection and nowhere is this bold palette better displayed than in the Mask Dress that declares its African inspiration boldly.
The colors got me running over to RMB Lab New Orleans where I could shoot this burst of color in a simple sketch venue – sort of like the only thing colored in the coloring book.

Or, just buy it all. Continue reading
