Still, is the bustle in the Brook —
Sealed are the spicy valves —
Mesmeric fingers softly touch
The Eyes of many Elves —

Emily Dickinson, Poem XLIX

Redgrave Fairy Skin Avie

Emily Dickinson wrote about elves more than once. She truly saw the world in a grain of sand and was inspired by the natural world and by her fantasies. Emilia Redgrave has been inspired by fantasy lately. Whether you look at her dramatic Trinity skins inspired by vampires or her rugged action hero King skins for men complete with blood and bruises or her latest release for Vanity Universe Skin Fair, Avie, the Fairy skin, these skins are important contributions to the fantastical lives of Second Life residents. Just as Trinity is the quintessential vampiress, Avie perfectly expresses the naturalistic world of elves and fairies with her fresh, glowing healthy skin and that healthy outdoor blush on her cheeks.

Paranoia Rising

2 Replies

nov13_001

In case you missed the news, I have been exploring the fresh new hell that is modern medical care. Don’t get me wrong, I am overwhelmed by the compassion and professional care provided by the nurses, doctors and all the staff. Even when I have been “i know you are trying to kill me” paranoid, they have been wonderful. But all the compassion in the world cannot put the lid back on the bug jar when that bizarre combination of real physical pain, the loss of editorial control from pain meds and the psychosis induced by renal failure introduced me to an entire new world. In fact, when I get out I think I have some blockbuster sci-fi stories on file, if I can find some thread of coherence.

Isn’t it just perfect, then, that the last photo shoot before I went into the hospital is atypical of my usual shoot and includes some pics that would totally fit into a couple of my narratives of the last week, like the one where the Dept. of Defense was attempting to do a consciousness transfer of my mind to the man who loves war via Ipod. Ipod??? Go figure. But I am pleased that the DoD was on the side of peace and justice and only hatched their scheme in response to his love of war.

Marcus Inkpen, whose amazing No Sound build for the Utopia Islands exhibition sims may be familiar to many of you, has a more recent build called The Looking Glass that is equally stunning and a beautiful setting to show off this gorgeous new suit from Sissy Pessoa’s fall collection for Baiastice.

The Looking Glass is a working sim with galleries and shops in beautifully built stores. As you can see through the window, these pictures were shot outside a gallery.

Fashion Weeks Make Me Happy

Someone was wondering how many Fashion Weeks there are in SL. I have no idea, but it did make me curious about Fashion Weeks in real life and so I went to the web and discovered there are at least 142 fashion weeks around the world. SL has a ways to go to catch up. Modavia Fashion Week has wrapped up, but the fashions that I found there are still sparkling away in my inventory – and that includes this lovely little dress from Kunglers.

Bandana Day 2010: Dedicated to QXI Gears

posted by Gidge Uriza

My Bandana Day post today is dedicated to my beloved friend QXI Gears who has just walked the path of chemo and radiation, hopefully for the last time. I do not see her enough or talk to her enough, but I love her dearly and think of her often.

Which isn’t enough.

Beauty isn’t on the outside. And it doesn’t reside in our hair.

Bandana Day 2010 is here to remind us.

Style Notes:

  • Skin – PXL Creations Efe
  • Bandana – From Whimsy Winx – Down by the River – For Bandana Day 2010

Three Event Openings in One Day: Bring It On

For SL Fashionistas, this weekend presents the beginning of an embarrassment of riches coupled with the opportunity to do good while looking good. Yes, there are three, three highly anticipated events that opened this weekend and two of them are fundraisers. One is Designers United, the sporadic exhibition of design focused on a single theme, another is Hair Fair, raising funds for Wigs for Kids, and the other is Project Donate, an emergency fundraiser for UNICEF and their program of flood relief for Pakistan. To visually demonstrate that all this activity should be embraced as a good thing, I put together an outfit featuring items from all three events.

In fact, I decided to take the idea of mixing up the events so far that the top I am wearing is part Designers United and part Project Donate. The upper portion comes from La Gyo’s Antique Tunic for Designers United and the bottom portion comes from Bublee Bing’s Inspired by Valentino dress for Project Donate. The skirt also comes from the Inspired by Valentino Dress
