It's Me

Yes, It’s Me under that black hair from !SyDS! that is named It’s Me! Like other !SyDS! hair it is simultaneously marvelous, wonderful, exciting, gorgeous and irritating. I want it in RED!!! I also would love a color script to change the color of the jewels instead of having only pink ones. Please, the quality and innovation is too good to leave us so short on options.  This is one of the fabulous hairstyles !SyDS! made for Accessory Fair 2010 – so get thee hence because even if it’s not red, it’s still red hot! Speaking of red hot….

C'est Si Bon

The Cherish dress from Tres Beau that I found at the Clothing Fair is a wow! Since the store is French in name – I thought of the song “C’est Si Bon”  with the oh-so-appropriate lines: ” With big Cadillac cars/Mink coats – jewels/As big as your fist – you know?” was a perfect choice. The necklace from Yabusaka for the Accessory Fair is not as big as your first, but I love the style – and the contemporary to traditional contrast of the jewelry and the dress.

Now, who can turn down the opportunity to listen to Eartha?

Making It Work

When I saw the Hydra necklace from Rozoregalia I knew exactly the sort of dress I wanted to wear with it and began casually looking around for something. The search became more urgent when designer Yumi Pausch released the Hydra Handrings for the Accessory Fair. I knew I had to find what I wanted – a black formal with a narrow silhouette and sheer upper bodice that would draw your eye from the black of the dress to the powerful statement necklace. Seriously, when dressing with jewelry this strong, you want to do it justice.

Phoenix Rising:The Bree Jacket

posted by Gidge Uriza

Phoenix Rising releases Bree on Weds March 3.  A belted pea jacket in rich deep tones it’s constructed with a casual open look that is great with or without something under it. I opted for a tank because I didn’t want to blind you with my boobs. Continue reading

Hot Fun in the Summer Sun

A few weeks ago, Jon Stewart did a typically hilarious bit that looked at the silliness in the news regarding the Unusually Large Snowstorm on the East Coast.  Of course, like the pundits who confuse weather with climate, there was Jason Jones insisting that the snow proved that global warming was not a problem, meanwhile down in Austalia, there was Sam Bee saying that of course there was global warming, it’s 96 degrees in February! It’s a funny piece and well worth watching. Of course, it slips my mind from time to time that lots of folks in Second Life® are from the southern hemisphere and enjoying warm and sunny days. We get little reminders, though, from time to time like this lovely summery dress from Kunglers – South American designers who I hope are enjoying hot fun in the summer sun.

Tuxedo Junction

There’s an old place where people go
To dance the night away
They all drive or walk for miles
To get jive that southern style
It’s an old jive that makes you want
To dance till break of day

It’s a junction where the town folks meet
At each function in a tux they greet you
Come on down, forget your care
Come on down, you’ll find me there

Well, I am ready to go to Tuxedo Junction now that I have this lavishly styled new tuxedo jacket from Baiastice. Made in a wide range of luscious colors, with exuberant ruched ruffling on the sleeves and collar, this jacket is like a B12 shot for your wardrobe – giving it vigor and energy.  When you combine the extravagant embellisments with the narrow contoured waist, you have a very feminine flattering jacket to dress up anything.

Bijou Beauties

I am in love with the new high-waisted skirts from Bijou. The come in bold, vibrant primary colors and black and white tank tops with a lovely ruffle collar. The tank top is fairly ordinary and the collar really needs a more substantial top than what is provided – though most of us have some white and black button downs that would do the trick in a pinch. The skirt – though- that’s the gem in this outfit with body-flattering curved panels that could make a twig look curvy and shapely – this is a flattering, hot and sexy skirt. The zipper and grommet details, the curving tulip shape that reveals a lot of leg, every effort has been made to make this dress hawt. Be careful while dressing that you don’t scorch your fingers.

Nordic Knits

Every year I knew I would get one hand-knit sweater from Santa for Christmas. Mom was a master of the nordic knitwear and she knit me mittens, socks, caps and scarves, but the sweaters were from Santa, so they were special. She didn’t stick to the traditional colors either. I remember one in particular, it was pink, grey and white and was my absolute favorite of all time.  Mom’s sweaters had metal buttons and sometimes frog closures, but she did make a black, grey and red one with a zipper for me. For this reason, I have found the Aoharu releases of

Nordic knitwear absolutely irresistible. It’s almost like getting a present from Santa.

Belleza y Moda

Belleza y Moda! Beauty and Fashion! Love of beauty and fashion energizes much of the passion of Second Life creators, bloggers and fashionistas. It is what sends skin creators back to their tablets to develop ever more beautiful skins. It’s what motivates creators to play with sculpts and textures to find new forms and to explore to the fullest what SL fashion can be.

Today I am wearing some of the boldest explorers who most fully realize and expand the boundaries of SL beauty and fashion. From MiaMai whose textures are stunning, to Mimikri who knows no bounds in finding new ways to form and shape clothing. From Stiletto Moody who has been at the vanguard of SL footwear development, to Truth whose energetic and playful explorations of hair sculpts send weekly tremors across the grid and finally, to Belleza whose stunning skins are at the apex of SL skin creation.
