This gorgeous gown from LIV-Glam at Vintage Fair is a perfect dress for the jazz clubs of the past filled with smoke, gin, torch singers and taxi dancers. Made with a combination of mesh and flexi, it combines the best of both.
The deep, swooping back is a torch singer favorite – and adds so much drama. All the poses are from the Rouge (based on the red carpet) Set from oOo Studio for Vintage Fair.
GField made a gorgeous swimsuit for faMESHed. It’s sassy and oh, so adorable. It comes in four gorgeous summer colors so you always have one to wear while the others are drying.
I had to try out the fun pose set with props from oOo Studio for Vintage Fair – so I popped over to the Second Life Surfing Association’s sim and paddled out to catch some waves. Continue reading
Wednesday is never easy. People try to pop around happy proclaiming Happy Hump day or other inane blather but to me, it’s like omg, the weekend – so FAR away. This morning I couldn’t be arsed to do more than lay about my house and consider getting up. Just consider it. Continue reading
I kind of feel like my mom back in the 80s in this outfit. She used to tie her hair up with a bandana and throw on a romper like this made of beach towel and clean like mofo. Actually, come to think of it, she still does this at the age of 65. Go mom you saucy minx!
There’s a lovely variety of braids and pony tails at Hair Fair this year, though it feels like fewer than past years, or perhaps my computer is crashing less while I shoot. I did have to reduce my head size to fit the pony from LaViere, but it’s such a beautiful pony tail it was well worth it. I put the saved shape for that head in the LaViere folder to have it handy in the future. The retro chic Magdalen from Lelutka doubles as an updo when you remove the pony piece. The fabulous adornments in the Exile pieces can be removed, allowing you to wear the hair plain if you like. There were a few hairs I tinted a bit as their red was too bright for me. The other sets are A to Z, but I decided a Z to A might be a good option – just to be fair in case folks get tired before the end of the slide show.

High fashion, elegance and sex appeal are not mutually exclusive. I doubt, though, that they have ever come together with such masterful balance as in this gown from NYU for Relay For Life that hits the sweet spot of avant sexy elegance. To make it even sweeter, it’s packaged with three options. You can wear it with the floral skirt and white top, a floral top and white skirt, or with a white top and skirt. And then to make it even sweeter yet, your purchase supports Relay for Life.
After a lot of wandering, lots of unpacking, even more sorting, tremendous generosity from creators and far too much spending, I have shot a large sampling of the updos available at Hair Fair. If you want to check specific photos, you can click through to the Flickr set.

One of my favorite shows ever had a great line, it went something like “If you invite a someone over, it’s for sex. If you invite someone over for dinner, it’s for sex and you’ll cater.”
If you are looking to cater…the Apponos Aprons are still available at the Summer by the Sea Gacha on Amira. In fact, you could even do something more wholesome than post sex cooking, like make stuff for your family or whatever.
Me?
I’m catering.

Gala Phoenix’s skin is known for its fragility and tender youthfulness.
One of the more popular and well-loved skin makers in Second Life is Gala Phoenix of Curio whose fresh-faced, youthful skins have won her hundreds, if not thousands, of loyal customers who anxiously await every release. Sadly, they will have to wait a long time. If you haven’t been on hiatus or sleeping under a rock, you have probably heard of the Hush-Curio controversy. I won’t repeat the details here as there are plenty of sources for information. I think the best is The Blogging Elf by Arica Storaro who captures the important details without any hyperbole, maintaining a calm, reasoned journalistic tone. Continue reading
