Bedhead
I had an amazing morning, I got to talk to some lovely people, and then went on a journey to a very sparse but thought provoking sim. Bryn Oh’s art is on display and I have no idea whether or not it is a finished area, or there is more to come, but either way I was intrigued by it, Thora even came and checked it out with me once I sent her this pic I took. If you want to check it out, just look in Bryn Oh’s picks and teleport to the World Expo one.
Then it was off and home to take some pics, the first one being a recent release from Nyte n Day, this set is a great staple, you can either wear it as is in its forms, or add lots to it using it as a base, I really like that, and know that using the separate pieces will come in handy in the future.
I am wearing the Shirelle hair by Exile, I am so in love with this hair, it was an instant hit with me, and I ended up chatting with Kavar about it in IM, seems we both have Mums that wore the same style do back in the 60’s. I have pics somewhere of mine with big panda eye make up and platinum hair, so white that I am amazed she still has some.
Cute and vintagey are the Judy heels by Ingenue, with their solid heels and bow fronts they are perfect for many looks. I like that Ingenue has branched off into shoes, making it easier to find footwear for her style of clothing.
Second up we have the beautiful cocktail dress from Page 3, a new to me store that has an incredible range of just about everything…talk about your multi talented designer. Not only clothing and accessories but furniture too, you will also find the fabulous Nails and rings I have on in this post. The nails come with beautiful jewelry, and a hud that allows for silver or gold and different nail colours and french polishes, all very reasonably priced.
This dress has a short and longer version of the skirt, not too long though, definitely a cocktail frock this one, the style is very Audrey Hepburn but I went with a looser hairstyle, and the added Jewelry also from Page 3.
The last pic is a mish mash, combining Nyte n Day with Page 3 and a little bit of DeLa too. The latest styles from Exile are so win, I was finding it really hard to take off one to put on another, and then would fall for the new one just as hard. The collared halter dress is so cute, all I needed was a tennis racket and I would be off to the club, you can wear without the collar also if that is not your thing, and it works so well with either, the sunglasses are also from Page 3 and have many different options in a handy drop down menu, easy to use and perfect to wear.
The Yoga style set from Nyte n Day is so comfy to wear, the pants are great, I have slipped them on a few times in the past week…the top has some nice prim finishes, and layers options, and I would totally have that amazing scene hair if I was doing Yoga at the time I took these pics.
Have a great weekend everyone…..

Fierce
I had some great news today regarding Hair Fair.
Sharing the hair stage today with IA Ivanka Akina and Exile, all such gorgeous wigs, but need to point out that the one with the two tone look does not come that way. I purchased the textures that many use now, and carefully made a copy first and then used both the solid and alpha options on the front bangs, luckily I made a copy first because the first time I got carried away and ruined some, but if you stick to the pieces that do not say multiple in the edit window you will be fine.
Three pics of punkish but girly still style looks. The first lot are tshirts and shorts by IA, and because they come on all layers they are versatile to mix and match, the shorts are just darling. The tshirts are a lot of fun too, there are more than the four shown, but my fav out of those would have to be the candy cane ribcage.
The second pic has some amazing dresses by DeeTalez, these leather dresses have that horror movie lab coat look going on, and they honestly scare the hell out of me, but so hot all at the same time. I toned down the look a little with the hair choice, but seriously go with some straight bangs and severe heels and you could turn many into monsters.
A while back 5th & Oxford did a Rebel Rebel release, and I have used pieces from it in the past, but more so today. The denim skirts come with belt and skirt attached or seperate, some great tanks that are a bit more glitz and would work with many going out looks, and the interweaving of some older MichaMi pieces brought it all together for me, I love that jacket, it is so pretty.
Stellar would be another fabulous store for punkish girly looks, but this time I went with their latest swimwear…that lucky for you two colours in a different pattern are todays Stellar Hump day special , so you get them at a bargain price. These ones are retro lovely, and the colours they come in are beautiful, the two bandana prints available today are blue and red, but I wanted you to see the retro versions as well.
The shoes I am wearing with them worked so well also, because just like when playing golf, some women wear heels poolside. The YS & YS shoes are so sexy, and they come in two different ranges of colours and adornments, which I think are just so this coming summer looks. They have all the usual YS HUD options, and they also come in a viewer 2 option. If you hurry to The Dressing Room there is actually a pair in white there for only 75L, so grab those because that is a steal.
With all these looks I am wearing the NEW Martina skin by LAQ. This skin has a beautiful face, much stronger in character I think than previous. I love the thicker brow that seems to be fairly obvious in this skin, with the usual tones and hair base option, sensational body and a great range of make ups, ten in all. Some of them more subtle than others, but a lovely range none the less.
When looking at skins it is really important as I have said in the past to DEMO them, not only in the store, but at home using your own lighting, the other thing is that it is really important to get naked to do so. Now this may not be for the reasons you think.
I have been witness to people disapointment with skins and blemishes over the years, and it was only because of Mel teaching me did I come to understand that sometimes those marks are not on the skin at all. Sometimes residue from clothing can look to be skin blemishes, and be no where near the actual line of the clothing, so it goes unrecognised as such.
So please make sure that if you do see something a little off on a skin, that you are in fact naked first and rebake as much as possible until you judge it on skin alone, it may just be something you are wearing stopping you from purchasing something you really like.
The poses in the last pic are latest prop poses by Glitterati, you wear the correct numbered beach ball, and the corresponding pose works with it, so cute, and the ball is click to change texture.

For the Boys – Stuff like that there
I was so excited to be able to blog the pieces that I have on today, but it wasn’t until I was up on my VR Studio stand that I realised what it was that made me so fond of the pieces as a whole. If you have never seen the movie For the Boys starring Bette Midler and James Caan you have done yourself a disservice. Not only is it incredibly music and comedy, but an emotional ride over many decades. I myself have seen it probably half a dozen times, and wish now I had a copy on hand, because I would enjoy a good sunday sobfest.
Not only is the title relevant for the looks, but also because most of it is just that, for the boys. All of the clothing except for the obvious lingerie pieces are by Casa Cheerno, a menswear store that I have enjoyed watching ever since they graced us at Hair Fair a while back. Even then trying on all the hair, I just had to find a style that was wearable for girls too.
Well today I am giving the clothing a run around town, and I tell you what you would have to pry the clothing from me if it was RL and some guy wanted his stuff back. The sweaters are just gorgeous, the fabric choice that you know is totally rocking for that kind of overstretched cowl neck look. The pieces are scripted for resizing and a few shrinks and a tiny tweak with the rotate and push down and forward, and I was good to go fit wise.
Now if you had seen me in world yesterday you would have possibly seen me in the black combination, because I was so rocking that all day and night. The Olimpia wide legged pants from LeLutka are so versatile and stylish. I really like how the folded top of them looks to be a part of the sweater itself, for a bit of an extra smoosh.
The hat is adorable, it comes studded or not and again totally rocking out my inner Bette in that, I even went with red hair for that me without thinking. The other accessory of mention is the Sunglasses from Casa Cheerno as well, they have a great shape and come studded or not also, full sculpted and a great overall everyday style, but very sleek and upmarket style wise.
The second look has given me the chance to wear the gorgeous new lingerie as outerwear pieces by Maitreya, released earlier today. It is always way too long between clothing releases from Maitreya, and these would have to be some of the best work Onyx has done IMO they are so beautiful constructed, and so much thought went into the collection as usual, and I know Onyx has wanted some lingerie that you can wear with lots of looks in the store for a long time.
Traveling downwards to the new Allure shoes with Tights also by Maitreya Gold. There are three types you can choose to buy, the bare ones having the beautiful prim feet and toenails to tint with hud etc, or the Allure Socks version which has ankle length socks in an abundance of colours, and then lastly the version I have on with tights, not only stockings but also knee highs which look adorable and I have to control myself from not wearing with everything.
The open toed with socks look is so retro disco diva I just love it. You even get a full leggings version as well, so fun…cannot wait to see what people do with these outfits wise.
Skipping across to my pants, OMG these pants also from Casa Cheerno are just amazing looking. Now I have to tell you the pants aren’t full covering up top, but that is what makes them even hotter, the finish on them is wonderful, they don’t show too much bum cleavage just the right amount. The pinstripe is excellent and faint enough to be stylish and not too patterny looking, but it is the cuffs that are my favourite as one leg has the most gorgeous button detailing you can see in the pics. They even have creases under the bum for a realism you don’t realise you miss until you see it. I LOVE THESE PANTS.
The hair I am wearing is the second style I mentioned the other day by Tiny Bird, the hair is loosely braided at the back and has a semi french braid without being one, look to it.
No more talking….get thee to the shopping.

The One Days
When I was little I wanted to be Ann Margaret, I also wanted to be Doris Day, Sophia Loren and most of all Gidget. To be honest, I think I wanted to be all the women of the silver screen, at one time – until I read a book by her housekeeper – I even wanted to be Marilyn Monroe, seriously that book ruined that, I have never been able to enjoy her since reading that book * McSadface. There is just some stuff you should never know about your heroes.
I used to watch a show called Time Tunnel, it also starred the actor that played MoonDoggy in Gidget, probably why I wanted to BE Gidget lol. That is him on the right Click to see . With the items being shown today, I definitely would need a Time Tunnel, with the outfits being from decades apart, but both have definitely been featured in small and large ways ever since, there is one hit wonder fashion, and then there are timeless classics, and both of these looks are classics.
Tres Beau as a store is a bit like that, as I have mentioned before in a past post, the store has been around for many years in SL and with the creations forever flowing, I am sure it will be around for many more. At the moment there is a sale for some items, one which is the gorgeous Daffodil set I picked up earlier today. The items that are on sale are in a separate section, there is a TP board at the entrance to the Main Store, so you cannot get lost.
The Daffodil set comes with the hat, purse and pearls, which adds even more to the outfit, and as you can see I wore the pearls again with the second look. It is such a beautiful full skirted dress and there are other floral prints as well as a divine check I may have to go back for before the sale ends.
The hair I am wearing in that pic is from Magika, the latest Linda hair, so pretty as a ponytail, but with the braided bangs adding a lot more charm to a common style. I am really loving not only the style of hair, but the colours in which Magika does their releases now, they really are enjoyable in their own right.
The second look is the most amazing flapper style dress I have ever seen, RL or SL. Ok well maybe 1920’s styled is more descriptive. The colours and texture are just incredible. It even comes with an adorable cloche hat, which in the picture I am holding, because I wanted to wear the latest hair by Tiny Bird instead of a more traditional kiss curls look. It is called Two Weeks and is one of two styles just released, both are braided and both are so beautifully girly.
If trying to match some shoes to this dress I would look no further than the Ixkin in champagne, the colour works so well with the feathery falls of the dress. I wish I had somewhere to wear this dress too right now, instead of just my posestand, but one day I will dance in it, it is just one of those incredibly beautiful sets you just have to have for the ‘one days’.

Pink
Today is Pink Shirt Day ( if you want to know more about it contact December Dollinger) , with the concept being uniting as one against bullying.
Bullying makes you think of many people in your past and present, my favourite bully of all time has to be every girls favourite bully I would think, especially the fashionable, so today I tried to go with her seaside look rather than the outfits she is most known for.
I was watching Two and a Half Men earlier and was so shocked to see Alison as some kids mum. I guess that’s what made me think of her, mind you Alison got a bit bullyish towards the end there. Amanda from Melrose place, the famous Heather Locklear is and was the perfect bully, followed by Sydney of course. I have to admit I was psyched when the show came back, but after I think two episodes I gave up, I mean really it just lacked that fire the original had.
Most known for her power suits, that woman changed how women dressed for the office in one fell swoop, seriously I had so many of those skirts back then, I even had a few of the tightly buttoned crop jacket suits. I loved Amanda though, I think I always believed she wasn’t that way, not really, that her heart was huge and that she was just pushy because she had been hurt so often, pfft now I know different, she was a bully.
When they let her let her hair down, figuratively speaking, she bloomed. So today’s outfit is one of those days, the days she escaped Melrose Place and would be eventually found living carefree at the seaside, all out of focus and shot through a pantyhose lol ( or is that just porn they do that with?). As soon as I saw this outfit from Ema’s Secret I ran right over, dragging Newdoll and Whimsy with me.
The way the system skirt has been used, with the addition of the sculpted sash ties and loose pieces is perfect for nights strolling along the esplanade, or dancing up a storm at your local Salsa bar. It comes in four different colours, and the fat pack is a steal so I had to get that because it is so beautiful. Ema’s Secret is a glorious store, part of the What’s New SL stores…not only do they have beautiful clothing, but also amazing eyes in a seperate section, you may know some of them from Belleza. From Casual to Formal Ema’s Secret has a bit of it all, and make sure you pick up the panties pack too, so cute.
Stunningly gorgeous, and such a pisces like mes’ dream uppydo, this Lost Coastlines style by Tiny Bird is squeel worthy, the style itself is lovely for all occasions, done just right to even wear casually, but the addition of the baby starfish is glorious. I was really happy to find the right pink shoes to go with the look, not only in colour but the style suits so well too, these are by Insolence, yes that known for lingerie store , she makes shoes too, and I think she always does such a perfect baby pink.
I swear I have seen Heather dressed like this, maybe not as Amanda though, maybe some made for tv movie, you get all the good ones of those up there, we rarely get them down here. Bullying aside I loved her in the Perfect Man , such a cool movie.
A beautiful blonde skin is the pearl by LAQ, the hair base worn with the updo is a nice touch as it does give a more realistic effect to the hair.

Redcoats are coming
Whimsy just kidnapped me.Loving the new military style Tourist jacket from Fri.day, it totally compliments the older DeLa boots that have those similar brass buttons up the side that I love. I kind of felt all ex british hunter/soldiery, so went with layering some pieces from MichaMi one with a kind of animal print effect that was originally part of a swimsuit set, but totally rocks when layering.
What is not to love with the belt from Veschi, this comes with the dresses that are must haves anyways, so you will have ample opp to wear them. Banging out in my Maitreya roll up shorts to finish this stylish but way comfy look. The choice of what colour to feature today was made easy with the make up in the Elena Skin pack. This one number three is divine for those that love their rich red/burgundy’s.
Posebility is the creator of the pose used in this pic, they are another of the stores at the Pose Fair, check it out if you haven’t before it ends on the 16th.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Kissing Bandit
I was having an awesome day yesterday, then it turned to crapola…not to worry though I turned it around because the lindens immortalised me and some friends in the new viewer wooot! One of the highlights of course was BOOOOOOOOTS.
I love boots, I could wear them all year. These new Quinn boots by SLink are just divine, the texturing, the style and the options to be open toed or not. There was a pair set out for 50L friday and if you missed out then thank goodness you can buy the regular colours because they are all must haves. My favourite thing other than the colours, the heels, the open toedness etc, is the scrunched down leathery look of the ankles, I love that attention to detail that has them all authentic and stuffs.
Beetlebones just released some beautiful Slouchy tunic style dresses, in soft textures and colours. The pulled up and puffed out elasticated band look is tops, and I think the length is just girly perfect, especially for wearing BOOOOOOTS.
I wanted something to wear around the neck, but wasn’t really feeling accessories need but more of a snuggle fest need, so the voluminous scarf and hair 3 by Maitreya fit the bill perfectly. They are texture change and have a great colour range that worked in really well with the dresses.
What I did do accessories wise was the new bags by Fri.day, these dreamcatcher bags come totally set up to shoulder wear, hand wear or non scripted for anywhere wear lol. The colours of those are so many and so perfect to go with all your leathery goodness. I wonder if vegans and anti leather wearing peoples actually wear virtual leather ? or would that compromise some integrity or something? I guess if it is pretending to be, it is just as bad *shrugs* not sure, interested to know though.
I get another chance to wear Elena by LAQ the lips on this skin just make me wanna smoochy everybody, so watch out, if you wake up with keyboard face and lippy on your cheek, it is because I the kissing bandit came to Elena smooch you.

Kiss My
Some stores just blow you away with how they present their product. Lately I have seen a few stores level up in that area, from how they present their items for purchase, as well as just the clean and crisp way they produce their ads.
One thing that absolutely floored me was the level to which this designer presents her work, not just by the info on the vendors, or the nice pictures, but the fact that every single colour is shown with different hair, skin and pose…really capturing the look and idea of the outfit. Not only is this really eye catching, but the chance to really snare the attention of the customer is much greater, because looking at the vendors you can imagine yourself as one of those girls and the item becomes more real to you.
The store is Veschi and the latest release by Alla Ruff is just incredible. The colours are rich and pretty, with spring in the air the corals, oceans and soft greens are perfect. A true grecian theme with incredible draped dresses in solid or two tone – they are GORGEOUS – the whole collections reminds me of Dynasty.
Not only did Alla feature all her colours in different looks, but two of the major sets came with an abundance of extras options if you feel like adding more to your look, and if not then you don’t have to. It is like a one colour extras pack option, with belts and trim in other colours to change your ensemble enough to be a different palette, much fun and totally lovely to wear.
The collection also comes with separates and the handbags are also by Alla, with all prims in the whole lot modify, because Alla is concerned about scripts being overused in SL at the moment… and by making them mod if you have any issues with editing them to fit you, she has offered to help you out if you contact her with purchase details, how cool is that :).
With this release I am wearing the latest from LAQ, the Elena skin is just beautiful, she is like the more mature version of Tasha which makes me very happy. The lips are fuller and the make up has a deeper range that is just gorgeous. As usual they come with hair base options and the body is stunning.
On my feet another look at the La Sauvage by Courtisane. These shoes have both the ankle strap version and the shoes only look, the colours went so well with this release of clothing too, I found that their goldish sole also worked so well with Veschi offering gold or silver versions in the jacket and bags.
With pose fair still on I am using poses from Avant a collab project of various designers, and Olive Juice. Olive juices release had me in stitches the names of these poses are so entertaining, and I am starting to think that the creator is in her mid to late 30’s because the names have way too much going on in that direction lol either that or she is staying up too late watching reruns, because Alice has not been on TV down here since the early 80’s lol , too funna.

Girly Girl
I am a city girl, and I am staying that way. Lately I have seen a lot of very casual releases from stores, like so casual it has been stressing me out. Is it trend ? is it what is being seen in fashion mags, or T.V ? or is it just simply just that people have given up on dressing up ?
I have literally sat on my bed RL in tears on a sunday morning around the mid 90’s , because I have realised I don’t have a damn thing to wear to a christening. All of my clothing was going out wear, or business/work attire, I just didn’t do day time – I was usually not awake – that day after sending my boyfriend (then) around the bend, had to resort to mums wardrobe for at least a dressy shirty/sweatery thing of some kind that wasn’t black.
Don’t get me wrong, I like jeans and shirts and items of that kind in SL too, but we seem to have them coming from all directions. They are nice to throw on once in a while, but they will never be an only choice for me.
Second Life gives us the chance to wear things we wouldn’t wear – such as fantasy or RP, or just full on high fashion pieces – everyday, but it also allows us the chance to show off our own fashion sense, and seriously the leaning towards ubercasual is starting to really concern me. I want more frou frou dresses, I want girly fabrics and trims, and things that go swoooooosh when I walk.
I want big hats, and pretty make up…I want, I want, I want, I wannnnnnt – laughs so hard, if you have ever seen the movie Threesome you will remember that awesome break down Lara had lol.
Anyway, rambling aside…today I wanted to dress it up, both dressy going out, and dressy day time casual. No christenings, but the second look would totally be how I would dress for a daytime activity, especially with all the upcoming summery events.
Both looks are just beautiful to wear, a mix of older pieces and much newer… I am featuring skin by Uzuri, that has a beautiful hair base, so nice in fact that in the first pic I went with it alone. In the second I went with one of the hair base hairstyles from LAQ.

Rising
Clothing Fair 2010 is approaching fast, 13th of March to be exact. One of the bigger events of the year with the donations going to RFL as they do every year, this is the 4th year and they are getting bigger and better with each one. The landing point this year is amazing, it was like arriving at the Olympics.
One of the stores taking part this year is Phoenix Rising. The gown I am wearing is a sparkly strapless combination that just works beautifully. The texture on the skirt is like falling light beams, and the bodice is gorgeous.
I decided that with that expanse of neckline, I didn’t want to go with the more traditional formal jewelry. But opted instead for some of the new Recluse collars from Plastik, these come in various styles and colour/print blends and are just lovely…you know I love posture collars, so these will definitely get featured again in the other variations.
The second outfit comprises of the top of one of the newer dresses from Phoenix Rising, I decided that the jeans and top looked so cute together that I went that route for now. it also gave me another chance to wear the waist belt from cobrahive, this one actually more of a high waist belt.
New hair from two stores, the first is Vanna a style from Pazazz, the textures are that tight curl look, and as an updo it is really nice. The second is really new from Exile, and I am so loving the pixie like bangs, very vintage and so hot. I pray that Kavar does a lot more styles with this bang look, because the possibilities are just OMG.
What I learned today :
Dot Lane plans on moving on;
I am sad now, but I understand why.
Dot Lane Girl Reporter:
I want to write something special, I want to express how much someone like Dot Lane can mean to people that see her for what she is. See her use humor as a way of protecting herself, a woman that even though pint sized could fill ten thousand servers with her charm and charisma. A woman that reached into my heart all the way down here, and has now filled it with heartache that I didn’t get to tell her every day how incredible she is. But I know that she doesn’t need me too, that she knows I adore her so much, and that she would think me silly sitting here typing in tears just because she isn’t going to log in her avatar anymore.I am sad that she will be in plurk and I can’t spend lots of time there, but I do know she is happy, and that she is finding new adventures with her life. It is funny because I can just hear her in SL , and imagine her in her safari shorts and jacket from CKS about to take on the new world she has planned for herself. I imagine each day her sitting by lamplight writing down her memoirs and experiences with the wildlife she encounters. One day maybe I will come across some writing that will be by someone not named Dot and I will just know it is her, that no one else in the whole world could ever be the same, write the same, or have the same outlook on life…she is outstanding.
