Now that Cajsa has had her SLebrity status confirmed I feel certain that every time we poke our heads out of the water of our seafloor studio we’re going to be completely swarmed with pixel reporters. All of whom will be claiming to have blogposts that they want to discuss.
Well……we’re very busy with fashion and other girly stuff. So – NO PICTURES (unless we take them) and NO COMMENTS! MOVE ALONG! Continue reading

The problem with blog-partnering with someone creative and talented is that sometimes, when you pick their brain – they send up more than one good idea. Aztec Queen of Eating Hearts was one great idea of Cajsa’s. But she also tossed out DOLLY! As in ….Hello……Dolly, Well Hello……Dolly.
Because, if you KNOW the story…….Dolly is the beloved matchmaker and mover and shaker of her day.
So Cajsa thought it might be fun to do an updated version – what would the modern Dolly look like? Well, first off – she’d have a hat. A great big flippin’ hat. This hat from the Ethereal gown set of Sascha’s Designs is just the ticket. Continue reading

The big sale at Second Wave Apparel was exactly appealing enough to make spend a bunch of lindens but get TONS of stuff in exchange. Sioxsie has most of her things 50% off or more and I went a bit nutty picking up seperates! Continue reading

Creator Tenshi Vielle made me very happy when I tried on her new Georgianna dress. You see, I’m pretty much D-O-N-E with these kind of hot little dresses that never have modable prims. It makes me NUTS not being able to adjust that prim piece TO my big old pixel frame.
I’m tall. I’m a little hippy (not much) and well – your prims don’t FIT me. Continue reading

Sometimes I think designers name their stores more aptly than they realize, as I can’t imagine doing anything in these pants than SLINK. Smooth sexy textures that grip the curves and just hint that they might slide down – they rest perfectly on the hips of my pixel frame.
Jewelry is from the Amazing Collection at Balderdash
The top is also a creation at SLINK and while these dressy pants might beg something more over the top, I personally felt like the tee was a great match – especially pairing it with Truth’s Sehra hair. Continue reading
Elise by Draconic Kiss is one of the many fashions at Crimson Shadow -
I can’t seem to think very well this morning and do want to show you the enormous amount of fun I had deconstructing and playing with a little red dress I picked up at Crimson Shadow. I took a little bit from Naive and Digit Darkes and just had some fun…and put them together and what did I get?

Put ’em together and what have you got

Here the top from Naive's Mooney dress erases every bit of Gothiness. A belt from Artilleri united them.

It’ll do magic believe it or not

Now, toss in Digit Darkes tulle skirt while keeping the short Elise skirt as an overskirt/ruffle and get some real elegance. The DD tulle skirt should be in every wardrobe as it seems to go with anything.
Salagadoola means mechicka booleroo
But the thingmabob that does the job is

Wow! I have found the best damn pants and it was such a surprise, too. I was at Studio Sidhe to pick up that arch pose I used for the photo at the Chinese Garden and thought I would wander over to see if she had some new jewelry and turned a corner and came face to face with these amazing pants – linen pants, but linen pants that look like linen…and have the linen lines and nubbiness at the right scale. They are extraordinarily well done and if you need to see more closely click the photo for a larger size picture where you can clearly see the texture. I kid you not. The best damn pants.
No, we’re not going to start popping and locking and dancing hip hop. The B is in reference to Blowpop and Baiastice – two of our fashion addictions. Both Gidge and I are wearing blowpop skins and then new Group gift from Baiastice – a gold, silver and white short cocktail dress that we each mashed up in different directions.

Ok, I lied. I’ve got some red white and blue. But it’s cute. And for the next 48 hours you’re gonna see it. I promise you no whacky hats or nutty hairs.
Well, I mostly promise.
Americana from GYPSY SOUL is a great dress for those of you feeling patriotic but not in that “I WILL WEAR AN UNCLE SAM HAT WHILE SINGING ALONG TO STARS AND STRIPES FOREVER” sort of mood.
Cuz, that sound doesn’t actually have words. Continue reading
The nautical them of Fleur’s most recent release of Sailor Pants, and striped tube top and v-neck that are perfect worn on top of each other put me in mind of one of those odd albums that was someone’s post Pirates of the Caribbean brainstorm. Called Rogue’s Gallery, it’s an album of contemporary artists singing pirate songs and sea shanties. One includes the unique and unforgettable Cape Cod Girls.
