Hi!

2009-05-01T00:21:00.000-07:00

I have outfits. Three looks ranging from glam to casual, all with similar aesthetics. Largely inspired by the latest issue of Hi-Fructose and babyart in general, as well as the color PINK. I loooooove pink. These outfits are best enjoyed with a tall glass of strawberry milk. Click through for credits.

And I remember liking it...

2009-01-05T17:34:00.000-08:00

Okay so I'm trying something new AGAIN. Because my graphics card sucks SO MUCH, I did as little to these pictures as possible to stop from butchering them any farther, what do you think, do you prefer this to the photoshopped backgrounds? Also, I titled the outfits differently, what do you think of that? Click through for credits.

- Open your SL inventory.
- Don't clean up anything!
- Take a screenshot of your inventory and upload to Flickr.
- Post the instructions with your picture.

Yeah, this is a few days after I cleaned it, I'm still in the process of organizing the folders that are within my folders.

for example:

all hair)
-insert all hair here-
all short hair)
-insert all short hair here-
all Hiccup)
-insert Hiccup short hairs here-

end.

Stick me with pins...

I actually had planned on doing another outfit today, but it was frustrating me to no end, so I decided to post this SIMPLE and classic look.

I also decided to pair the sculptie skirt with this dress from M&R Cupcakes because, if I remember correctly, it comes with a system skirt. Now, I have nothing against the system skirt and I think a lot of other e-ladies can pull it off really well. However, this is not so in my case. If you've noticed, my av has very little in the boobs and butt department, so she ends up looking extremely disproportionate.

Anyway, here is the outfit!

I'm wearing:

Skin: miw, Fall Light Skin in Blondie
Eyelashes: Cake, Bedroom Lashes
Hair: ETD, Sofia in Black
Top and Sculptie Skirt: Maiiki, Poof and Skirt in Black
Skirt: M&R Cupcakes, Black Gathered Dress
Leggings: Royal Blue, Paradox Jumpsuit in Black
Shoes: ETD T-strap Peep Wedges in Black
Gloves: Royal Blue, Half gloves in Slate
Earrings: Paper Couture, Black Fleur Earrings
Bracelet: Miam Miam Coco Bangle Bracelet

- DG

Right, birds can fly so high...

2008-12-04T00:29:00.000-08:00

WELL NOW.

I'll get right to it then, DG is now LookBook. I was tired of the old blog, and decided it needed an update. It's neato, you should definitely take a look and leave a comment letting me know what you think!

Here is another great item from NS Designs, I featured one of shirts in a previous post and I'm still in love with that outfit!

I'm wearing:

Skin: miw, Fall Light Skin in Catliner
Eyelashes: Zsa Zsa's House of Beauty, Big Top and Spike Lashes
Hair: Kin, Enid in Black
Blouse: Naith Smit Designs, Short Skirt Tops in B&W
Leggings: Maiiki, Leggings in White
Shoes: Storm Schmooz, LAQUE in Black
Necklace: Cachet, Courtney
Earrings: Cachet, Courtney
Bracelet: I made this, talk to me in world if you want it.

The little wet tears on my babies shoulder...

2008-11-26T16:07:00.001-08:00

So, I didn't post yesterday because, as you may know, I am lazy, BUT!

I have another reason. My outfit took forever to look right.

You see, I have been wanting to wear these antlers on the blog ever since I got them. A long time ago. I knew I wanted to create some futuristic yet tribal soldier deer hybrid thing. Unfortunately, the "DG is cracked out" store, doesn't exist, so it's taken me months to put this outfit together.

I'm absolutely delighted with how Christmas-y it looks as well, therefore, I have deemed it "Santa's Army."

Now for today's outfit!

It's just cute and wintery. =]

I'm wearing:

Skin: Wax Poetic, Licorice in Meringue
Hair: ETD, Laine in Black
Eyelashes: Cake, Bedroom Lashes
Coat: Kurotsubaki, A-line coat in Black
Pants: Gigi Couture, High Waisted Denim Houndstooth
Shoes: Sixty-Nine, Knit Boots in Noir
Gloves: Paper Couture, Davinci Gloves
Ring: Paper Couture, Times Square Ring in Black

The weather man is calling...

2008-11-24T20:13:00.000-08:00

Well hello!

I created this outfit some time ago, personally I think the mint colored Party Pumps go really good if not better with this outfit, but, alas, I couldn't find gloves to match...which bothered me way too much.

Anywho.

This is my favorite outfit as of late, I think!

I'm wearing:

Skin: Gala, Alabaster in Flirt
Hair: ETD, Juliana in White
Eyelashes: Cake, Bedroom Lashes
Tights: VG, Tintable Metallic Lycra Tights in Light Tone, Sheer
Shirt: Cachet, Theo Blouse in Pastel Peach

I say, take me out!

2008-11-21T19:34:00.000-08:00

So I wasn't going to post this outfit, but it's really grown on me!

I told Martha Swindlehurst that it was like "faux boho" and kind of "I'm artsy, but I have a trust fund."

I'm wearing:

Eyelashes: Cake, Bedroom Lashes
Hair: MMS, Mary Kate in Jet,

Oh how I love Apatia Hammerer.

She told Naith Smith of Naith Smith Designs to get in touch with me about blogging some of his clothes, and I was happy to oblige. His stuff it really nice quality, I had the pleasure of checking out his store (I would provide an slurl but it's not open yet, so I will as soon as it does!) and was thrilled by his clothes. The sculpt work is really good, and the designs are fresh and I really can't wait to see what my fellow bloggers come up with when it comes to his creations. =]

Blargh, I got this post up, despite a few set backs and distractions.

If you go away...

2008-11-10T17:42:00.000-08:00

Well.

I'm back!

I did a lot of silly things, I moved, I had no internet, and so on and so forth. Now I'm back. Hooray!

Something I realized: My graphics card sucks. Bad. No pretty Windlight pictures for me, and the quality of my snapshots are less than satisfactory. So, if you will, just imagine that these are bitchin' pictures. I'll be forever grateful. (I should probably add that, I would LOVE tips on how to get my pictures to look better than they do now. I have photoshop cs3, and I'm sure there is someway to fix this crap with that.)

Anyway, here is an "I'm back!" outfit. Nothing too spectacular, but I did a TON of shopping, so expect to see some more impressive outfits later this week. Oh how I swooned over Thimbles, ETD, Paper Couture...-sighs- Anyway, here you go! (Also, I know this looks similar to a previous outfit, but I didn't realize that until after I had photoshopped everything. Sorry about my subconscious!)

I'm Wearing:

Skin: Lunacy, Phoenix Milk in Nude Gloss
Hair: Gritty Kitty, Deadline in Blonde
Jacket: Thimbles, Trophy Wife, Disenchanted in Black
Shirt: Emery - Singer Edition, Striped Tank in Black

Among the many great poses included in the Long Awkward Pose poop hunt is the Broken Puppet pose (shown on the left). I thought it was so cute (actually, in keeping with the spirit of the hunt, I should instead call it "poopalicious" or "pooptastic" or something equally un-PC and anti-cute) that I used it as the inspiration for today's outfit(s). I immediately remembered the Red Onepiece dress from Saya that I've had my eye on for a while now, but haven't gotten around to buying. When I went to get it, I couldn't decide between that and the Black Onepiece, so I got both (at the very affordable price of 100L each).

I'm wearing:

Hair: Uncleweb Studio - Ilias in mesh black

Skin: Pink Outfitters - FFX3 Custard, earth

Eyes: Miriel - Standard Eyes Chartreuse

Eyelashes: Cake - Bedroom Lashes

Nails: Risa's - Mizutama Nail, red

Dresses: Saya - Red Onepiece (left) & Black Onepiece (right)

Tights: VG Republic - Tintable Metallic Lycra Tights (free)

Shoes: Periquita Outlet - Bootie in burgandy (left); Kitties Lair - Peep Toe Pumps Tease! in stellar black (right)

Necklaces: +Plus - Funky Double Necklace, purple (left); Artilleri - Chunky Bead Necklace (right)

Flower: Kurotsubaki - Yellowflower (group gift)

Poses: Long Awkward Pose - Broken Puppet (left); Twosome - Aw Really? (right)

I'm back! For those of you who don't know, last week I took a small vacation and spent four days with my significant other. =]

The week before last Mariya Nesiote posted this outfit, and I was instantly in love with it, so I decided to put my own twist on it and I am super pleased with how it turned out. I was worried that it would appear that I copied her outfit, but I think there are major differences that say otherwise. The outfit was just particularly inspiring, and actually fueled a few other outfits of mine as well! =]

Here ya be:

I'm wearing:

Skin: Gala, Pale in Sultry Classic
Hair: Coif, Marcelle in Snow (self tinted)
Eyelashes: Cake, Bedroom Lashes
Tights: Punch Drunk, Skinned Knee Tights in Orange
Jacket: Ce Cubic Effect, Short Leather Jacket in Red

HoH Review

2008-08-08T10:20:00.000-07:00

This was going to be posted yesterday, but things didn't work out that way, so here it is today!

I'm so picky about hair, so when I got review styles from House of Heart, I was a little worried. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that with almost every hair in the pack, I was able to put an outfit together that went great with it, really quickly!

The styles varied from casual and simple to elaborate and fun, and the hair textures are all really nicely done, so I'm sure you'll be seeing me in hair from there more often.

Here are three of the styles I was given:

I'm wearing:
1)
Skin: Lunacy, Phoenix Milk in Nude Gloss
Hair: House of Heart, Allie in Coffee Bean

2)
Skin: Frick, Tan Green/Pink Makeup, Light Pink Lips
Hair: House of Heart, Calypso in Natural Blonde
Eyelashes: Cake, Bedroom Lashes
Dress: Cupcakes, Shiny Plaid Dress
Shoes: Aphrodite Creations, Serenity in Sweet Pink
Necklace: KessKreations, Dolly Pink Pearl Necklace (group gift)
Bracelet: KessKreations, Dolly Pink Pearl Bracelet (also a group gift)

3)
Skin: miw, Fall Light Skin in Porkchops
Hair: House of Heart, Jordan in Coffee Bean
Eyelashes: Cake, Bedroom Lashes
Jacket: Canimal, Disorder Jacket (really old group gift)
Jeans: Laqroki, Skinny Jeans in Black
Shoes: Boing Fromage, MaryJane Flats
Bracelet: I made this, IM me in world for more details.

DP Yumyum released a couple of new dresses this week, including the Halter Chiffon one I'm wearing here. It is very lovely and sweet - quite feminine, in fact. It made me want to dress really girly, so I chose pink accessories, summery sandals, and a cute butterfly (which is actually a pin, but I moved it to my hair) to wear with it. The skin, from London Dailey of Pink Outfitters, is a preview of her soon to be released new line. The hand drawn skin, with its subtle shading and rosy cheeks, complements the soft, feminine look of my outfit. I like it a lot and am looking forward to seeing them all.

I'm wearing:

Hair: Shop Seu - Pompadour in blonde
Skin: Pink Outfitters - FFX2 Creamy Ivory, Bare (to be released soon)
Eyes: Miriel - Strong Green (big)
Eyelashes: Lunacy - Modifiable Tintable Lashes
Dress: DP Yumyum - Halter Chiffon Dress in pink
Shoes: G Field - T-Strap Sandal Rose in white
Bag: G Field - Sunflower Basket Handbag
Earrings: Atelier AM - Pink Cube Earrings
Bracelet: Dark Mouse - Flower White Enamel Bracelet in pink
Butterfly Pin (worn in hair): G&S - Vintage Pink Butterfly Brooch

Today I was in the mood for a casual summer outfit that can go from an afternoon lunch and shopping to a fun night out. The rich textures on both the top and pants give this a sophisticated feel while the flounce of the blouse adds a sense of playfulness. I'm also loving this locket necklace - not only does it lend itself to a variety of looks, but Kess (of Kess Kreations) somehow managed to make a long necklace that doesn't get lost in boobage land! When I thanked her for this, she told me she tested it on her "fatty tummy," so she thought it would be ok with boobs. Gotta love a woman who embraces her fatty tummy!!

I'm wearing:

Hair: ETD - Riley
Skin: The Obscene - Arouse Base
Eyes: Miriel - Strong Green (big)
Shirt: Pink Outfitters - Loren Sheer Blouse in zebra
Bag: Barerose - Freja in white
Pants: Elephant Outfitters - Journey Tweed Slacks in white
Shoes: ETD - Peep Slingbacks in linen
Glasses: Prim Optic - Sophia
Necklace: Kesseret Kreations - Cratus II
Bracelets: VG Republic - Resin Bangles (right arm); Armidi Gisaci - Metallic Tres Bangles

Well, we had wanted to do Outfit Wars this week but it got all fracked, so I'm doing my Outfit Wars outfit today, and Fionna will be doing hers tomorrow.

This dress is from Pink Outfitters, and as soon as Fionna showed it to me I liked it, the textures are flawless, it's just a beautiful dress. I was trying to come up with something to wear it with, and I picked out very pretty accessories...but then I realized that I could totally punk out this dress and it would still look awesome, thus this outfit was born. I also love that it comes with a belt. That really finishes the dress, in my opinion.

I'm wearing:

Skin: Lunacy, Shadowed in Milk
Hair: Nylon Outfitters, Nylon Messy Hair
Eyelashes: Cake, Bedroom Lashes
Undershirt: Sheer, Nylon Plain Tops
Dress: Pink Outfitters, Silk Fluff Organza Dress in Red
Stockings: Canimal, Torn Socks over Stockings in Black
Shoes: Urban Bomb Unit, PornStar Hi-Tops v2
Bracelets: WRONG, Spike Bands in Black

2008-07-22T19:25:00.000-07:00

I planned to do a post on bargains today, but didn't get my act together in time. I just realized, however, that some of the items I'm wearing are, indeed, bargains. My outfit was created around a cute bag from +plus (although it's not shown in the pics here), inspiring a sort of nautical theme. This blue and white striped dress from Manatee, or Twee (125L), paired with the red belt from +plus (50L) captures the sailor look I was going for in a sophisticated rather than cutsie way. I chose to use white accessories to accent the outfit while not distracting from the gorgeous texture and sculpted loveliness of the dress.

... and I have no idea why the song from "The Grinch" was in my head as I prepared this.

I'm wearing:
Hair: Shop SEU - Pompadour in blonde
Skin: The Obscene - Arouse Base
Eyes: Miriel - Strong Green (big)
Eyelashes: Lunacy - Modifiable Tintable Lashes
Dress: Manatee/Twee - Scalleeeewag in blue
Bag: +plus - Big Clutch in Navy Style
Belt: +plus - Wide Belt in Red
Shoes: Tesla - Jane in surf
Bracelets: Bonita's Jewelry & Funique Shop - White Pearl Bead & Bangles 4
Earrings: JCNY - from Tiffany Collection in white

I put off buying this skirt for a long time for a couple of reasons.

1) I didn't think it was flex, and that kind of turned me off.
2) I had no idea what to wear it with.

I eventually broke down and bought it, after I read a post on the feed about it and saw that it was flexi. I put it on, and stood there topless looking for something to wear it with, when I saw the "D!FF" folder in my inventory...then after that the outfit was easypeasy and I think it's absolutely freakin' adorable.

[18:53] Apatia Hammerer: I'm not ashamed of loving Bruce Springsteen

2008-07-10T18:51:00.000-07:00

Apatia Hammerer has quickly become one of my favorite people in SL, and I definitely don't think I'm the only one that feels that way! I asked her earlier today if she wanted to be on the blog and her reply was "I want to see Walking with Dinosaurs!!!!!" and then we talked about that for a while (it sounds horrifying and excellent, you should google it or something) and then she was like "Okay I'll be on the blog!" so here she is:

And now for what you've really been waiting for, ladies and gentlemen, GARRRRYYYYY BUSEEEYYYYYYY! Looking fashionable as always! (Apatia did this while I was snapping pictures of her, and then I asked her to email it to me so every else could get a look at fabulosity.)

She's wearing:

[18:50] Apatia Hammerer: UBU Pirate Rain Boots *H+K*rose dot knee-socks manatee/[twee] Melted Deckchair Swallowtail Jupiter Necklace Pearl PUDGE: Fair Verona pudge pose *blowpop* Tuesday Cream [1a. Tuesday Morning] blk, frkl
[18:50] Apatia Hammerer: ooo wait
[18:50] Apatia Hammerer: let me do it one by one
[18:50] Apatia Hammerer: UBU Pirate Rain Boots
[18:50] Dolly Gwynneville: blowpop is a good idea
[18:51] Apatia Hammerer: *H+K*rose dot knee-socksmanatee/[twee] Melted Deckchair

[18:52] Apatia Hammerer: PUDGE: Fair Verona
[18:52] Apatia Hammerer: *blowpop* Tuesday Cream [1a. Tuesday Morning] blk, frkl
[18:52] Apatia Hammerer: there, that's less confusing
[18:53] Dolly Gwynneville: oh yeah, where is your tattoo from?
[18:54] Apatia Hammerer: aitui

2008-07-08T12:18:00.000-07:00

I was wearing darker pants with this at first, which made me feel like a fashiony spy! BD

But, I wanted to break up the pants and the top, so it didn't look like I was in some kind of jump suit. I really like this outfit, and I really really like the background pose, which is from Pudge. If you haven't gone to Pudge to try out the poses, do it, you wont regret it because even if you don't find a pose you like, the names of the poses will make you laugh. I highly doubt that you wont find a pose you like though.

Outfit!

I'm wearing:

Skin: miw, Fall Light Skin (Blondie)
Hair: Coif, Domina in Black
Eyelashes: Cake, Bedroom Lashes
Jacket: Fashionably Dead, Loose Scoop Neck in Black
Jeans: Artilleri, Betsy Pants in Black (I modified them so that the leg would be longer)
Socks: Shop Seu, Kushukushu Kutsushita in Black (There was a weird gap between the shoes and the pants, so I added these socks, they work great with open toed shoes!)
Shoes: Tesla, Athena in Black
Bracelet: Miam Miam, Coco Bangle Bracelet
Earrings: Miam Miam, Coco Diamond Stud Earrings
Necklace: Japancakes, Fashionista Necklace

When I am queen...

2008-07-06T13:20:00.000-07:00

I was bored today so I felt like doing an extra post!

I've been wearing black clothes galore, so that's probably all you'll see this week, but they're all really different styles, so hopefully they will keep you entertained.

Here was the outfit I came up with today:

I wanted to wear something to pimp my jewelry. A while back I tried to make a necklace and, haha, I'm so brilliant, I made the chain by hand! Then I found out that there was a script, then I found out the script was whack, so then I frantically IMed Kesseret Steeplechase and asked her to help me, and she did, and now I have a pretty chain. Next week I'm going to buy my own chain making device so I can do it myself, and who knows where that will lead.

Here is the afore mentioned necklace:

And here are the plugs that I'm wearing, I made these all by myself, and uh, prim lobes. AWESOME, right? I think so too:

Alright now time for the creds.

I'm wearing:

Skin: miw Fall Light Skin (Porkchops)
Eyelashes: Cake Bedroom Lashes
Hair: Aden Edie in Black
Tights: Canimal Torn Socks over Stockings in Black
Shirt: Schadenfreude Black White Skelebeaters
Skirt: Ingenue One Boy
Shoes: Shiny Things Tuxedo Pumps
Bracelet: Draconic Kiss Skulls 'n' Ribbons (I think this is a group gift?)

I followed the waves to you...

2008-07-04T11:50:00.000-07:00

Well, I was planning on doing a guest post yesterday, and then your regularly scheduled outfit wars today, BUT, due to me being photoshop stupid, I'm bringing you the guest outfit today.

Stein Shilova IMed me one day about hair on the blog, and we talked for a bit, and now we talk a lot! She's super godzilla badass hardcore, and I haven't seen her in an outfit that I didn't like. Her blog (Meltybritches) is linked off to the side if you're interested in seeing some more of her outfits.

She's wearing:

Hair - BOON, uzu22 in jetblack

Shirt - Fashionably Dead, Loose scoop neck in black
Belt - Fleur, Lemon patent leather belt

I can't tell you where I am. I can't tell you what I've seen. I can tell you that me and Genuwine Lightnin' have been keepin' your SL self safe from dinosaurs, and partner...that should be enough for you.

Bring me 17 white doves....

2008-07-01T19:12:00.000-07:00

To be honest, I have nothing interesting to say, so I'll just make a few brief comments about this outfit. Bijou came out with a new release last night and it took me about 2.5 seconds to fall in love with the Etranger outfit. Another recent purchase is a couple of skins by Lunacy. I was drawn in by the fantastic sale price (299L), but don't let that fool you. They are absolutely beautiful (and the regular price is only 499L!). They've even converted me to freckles!

I'm wearing:

Hair: Mirai Style - Bysh in brown
Skin: Lunacy - Phoenix Pale in Nude Gloss Brow 2, freckles
Eyes: Miriel - Strong Green (big)
Eyelashes: Lunacy - Modifiable Tintable Lashes (included with skin)

Are ya interested?

2008-06-30T16:58:00.000-07:00

I'm hitting the blog hard this week, I've been slacking.

Alright, I was thrilled to see these pants from RB, and when I pictured this outfit in my mind and it came actually together with no layering issues, I was even more thrilled. Unfortunately, I have a horrible time making things too period pieceish, sort of costumey, and I'm pretty sure thats how this outfit turned out...but, I still love it. </me talking>

I'm wearing:

I'm begging you for mercy...

2008-06-24T21:01:00.000-07:00

In the pursuit of self-awareness, I must admit that I've been rather annoying lately. While I apologize to those who have had to put up with my, I still contend that it isn't really my fault. After missing the grand opening DP Serendipity's new main store and sim due to my hard drive dying, I was thrilled to get the new Aby dress. I loved everything about it - the bold colors, the style, the texture, etc. - and even more so once I put it on. When I continually asked my friends, "isn't this dress so cute?" or commented, "I love this dress" and "I look so cute," whenever there was a break in the conversation, I really was paying attention to what they were saying. It just happened to be at the same time I was admiring how cute I looked. And when I say I looked cute, I can understand how it might sound like I was being egotistical or overly superficial, but I assure you I wasn't. You see - I wasn't complimenting myself so much as the designer of the dress. It's not my fault she is so talented. So, if you have any complaints about me, don't send them my way. Send them to Masuri Dryke instead (sorry, Masuri).

Masuri isn't the only one responsible for my obnoxiousness, however; London Dailey of Pink Outfitters is also to blame. Anyone who knows me knows that my biggest and most frustrating challenge is finding a skin that looks good on me (yes, I know there are tons of beautiful skins out there, but for some reason 99% of them look horrible on me). Her Fresh Fx2 skins are the first ones since I bought my CS skins a while ago that I was actually excited about. I think they're very lovely and they flatter my shape (and the shading on the butt cheeks is sooo cute!). I'm anxiously looking forward to the release of her lighter toned skins. But I should warn you - I'll probably be obnoxious then too.

I'm wearing:

Hair: Mirai Style - Natu in pearl

Skin: Pink Outfitters - Fresh Fx2, Natural Beige in Toffee

Eyes: Miriel - Dark Blue

Eyelashes: Cake - Bedroom Lashes

Dress: DP Serendipity - Aby in red

Shoes: ETD - Hampton Wedge in light gold

Flower: Artilleri - Rose Hair Flower in yellow

Necklaces: +Plus - Funky Double Necklaces (yellow is from the green set and turquoise is from the turquoise set)

Bracelets: VG Republic - Resin Bangles with Color-Change

Earrings: Burroughs - Lisa Earrings

How about a 9 month long vacation?

2008-06-18T21:53:00.000-07:00

Not much to say, really...

A while back (like when I first started the blog) I proposed the idea of having a Haute Couture Alice in Wonderland themed contest with a Linden prize, but I didn't have enough readers so the idea kind of died...anyway, this is my version of Tweedle - Dee and Tweedle - Dumb. (As you can see, I have been wearing this scarf every chance I get, seriously great piece.)

I'm wearing:

Skin: Frick Peaches Warm Lolly Lips
Hair: Little Heaven Rabi in Black/White
Eyelashes: Cake - Bedroom Lashes
Tights: G.L.A.M Dark Tone Solid Tintable Metallic Lycra Tights
Shirt: Timberry Irregular Stripes Shirt
Jacket/Shorts: Aoharu Denim All in One Black/White

This is a pic I took a while back, after the Athena shoes from Tesla came out (I'm wearing them in the picture, but they aren't visable...obviously.) I wanted to go for a really surreal pop-art type look, so I went to the Kyoot Army HQ, and used the neato white flowers there as my background. worked out nicely, in my opinion.

I'm wearing:

Skin: miw Fall Light Skin (Porkchops)

Eyelashes: Cake - Bedroom Lashes
Undershirt: PixelDolls LeatherLaced Mix Undershirt

To this world, and yesterday...

2008-06-16T20:21:00.000-07:00

Alright, sorry for the break guys, my life is stupid at the moment...and I haven't felt like doing normal posts, but I'm going to do some experimental type stuff this week...hopefully that will keep you entertained. Fionna is having computer problems, and I'm not sure when she will be back...hope it's soon. =]

Anyway, here is a pic I took in Frick, wearing elements from a new Maiiki outfit. Ok, as most of you know, those clothes are hella expensive, like, ridiculously so. However, I think I'm addicted...I'm going to have to find an SL job (modeling? why, yes, thank you!) to fund this new necessity. Really, my two favorite styles in SL are gothy and like...I don't even know the word, urban haute couture? Something you would see a hot new record producer wearing. (:D I'm lame, ignore me.) Maiiki, in my mind, blends these things together perfectly...it fits into my inventory perfectly so expect to see me in a lot of clothing from there.

I also decided that I really like Coif. I was iffy, but I tried the demos and they look GREAT, seriously, awesome hair. I bought my two favorites, Sushi and the 70's Flight Attendant, and I have been wearing them non-stop since. The same goes for these shoes that I got from ETD, honestly, I should have just bought the fat pack. I already have them in three colors, and I'm going back to get more...for only 100L a pop, why not?!

I had a hard time with jewelry...if anyone knows a place where I could get a necklace with sculptie antlers on them, will you let me know? I can't help but think it would have gone PERFECT with this outfit...in fact, if you are a jewelry designer, I will commission you to make me a necklace like this, because I'm sure I would wear it all the time. I ended up deciding on my favorite necklace from Boing Fromage, this cute little owl. (Owls are one of my favorite animals!) The bronze goes good with the earthy feel to the outfit. I think that's it really, on to the pic!

I'm wearing:

Skin: Frick Peaches Warm Lolly Lips
Hair: Coif Sushi

Eyelashes: Cake - Bedroom Lashes

Leggings: Maiiki Long Leggings in Olive
Jacket: Maiiki Streep in Bronze

Shorts: Maiiki Streep Tall Girls Puff-Pants

Shoes: ETD T-strap Peep Wedges in Nickel

Necklace: Boing Fromage 50's Dangle Owl
Bracelet: I made this, for more info, please contact me in-world.

I saw you talkin' to Christopher Walken...

2008-06-05T10:46:00.000-07:00

Clipped from a newspaper yesterday via e-scissors:

Last night at exactly 8:00SLT Dolly Gwynneville was found trampled to death by police near the KessKreations flagship store. Authorities suspect that in a mad rush to HELP ED, the fashionista was killed. Authorities also suspect that one Fionna Bracken is behind the outline, as it was there before officials arrived on the scene.

Your eyes focus on my funny lip shape...

2008-06-03T14:34:00.000-07:00

Edit: I forgot, HELP ED! Please? =]

Five minutes before Dolly's party was about to start, I crashed and couldn't log back on. After cursing SL for the kabillionth time that weekend, I realized it wasn't SL's fault at all (but can you seriously blame me for jumping to that conclusion?). Instead, stormy weather had knocked out my internet connection. When I finally logged on about an hour later, I was met with Dolly's franctic IM that the party wasn't going well and a plea for me to get over there ASAP. Believing her (btw - never believe a perfectionist when they tell you something isn't going well), I TP'd right over without putting on the outfit I'd planned to wear, as I hadn't yet decided upon the accessories. Right away I noticed I was the only one not wearing Dolly's blog colors, black and gold. The super-nice London Dailey of Pink Outfitters then sent me her beautiful Leia Party Dress in gold so I wouldn't stick out like the sore thumb I so clearly was. While I wore that dress for the rest of the evening, this is the outfit I intended to wear. A special thanks again to London Dailey for being so sweet and talented.

I'm wearing:

Hair: Mirai Style - Natu in pearl

Skin: Celestial Studios - Deviant Nation Vogue, Vamp/Enchant

Eyes: Miriel - Dark Blue

Eyelashes: Cake - Bedroom Lashes

Outfit (cami, vest, pants): Bijou - Lucky Strike in khaki

Shoes: Armidi Gisaci - Vidalia Pump in metallic noir

Necklace: Smitten - Long Knotted Beaded Necklace (soon to be released)

Bracelet: SLink - Gold Beaded Bangles (1L)

Earrings: Chicoco - Gold Pierced (BARGAIN ALERT: 10L!!!)

Ring: Fuse - Bloom (group gift)

Real life goes undefined...

2008-06-02T18:30:00.000-07:00

Well, yesterday was the party. It went well, but I'm pooped. Things started off rocky though, first I had the sky box way too high, or so I thought, but then I just figured out that the LM sent people to the wrong place. Oh joy. Yeah, anyway, a reasonably amount of people came, probably at max twenty were there, and it was just tons of fun.

One of the people there was Kesseret Steeplechase (KessKreations), we had been talking on and off for a while because I had asked if she would make a freebie for the party (she did, it's beautiful, will definitely blog it this week.) She was loads of fun, brought a pinata, which I beat the crap out of, and river danced with me during a few songs. She even gave me a hat that flips people the bird, come on...how can you not like someone like that?

Anyway, given that she's an absolute sweetie, I trust that she has great taste in friends, so I told her I would put a reminder in each post this week to HELP ED.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, here is what the notecard says about the situation:

"Everyone,

I have a friend who is in dire need. A couple weeks before Christmas his mom was diagnosed with lung cancer. Unfortunately the radiation didn't help at all, and the tumor is now in both lungs and right now she's at the house under hospice care. Actually Ed's mother passed yesterday however when I wrote this notecard she was still under his care.

What I am doing to put up a small area on my sim with some clothing I am making and I have a couple other people donating more clothing and jewelry to the area. Basically I am asking if anyone is willing to donate an item to sell on that plot or in your stores and give the proceeds to my friend.

I can assure you that this is real. It sucks for him and as his friend it breaks my heart knowing that he is going through this.

The sale will start May 30 and end June 10th. I will give you a split script and how to divert funds to the avatar Ed Bumstead. You all don't know him from Adam or me for that matter but if you have questions feel free to talk to him or send him positive vibes. He needs them.

Please contact me via IM or anyway if you would like to help

Sincerely,
Christine Giglio

aka Kesseret Steeplechase"

So please guys, help him out! =]

You know how after you stare at something for a long time, it begins to look funny and not make sense? Well, that's what happened with this outfit - it doesn't make sense to me anymore. Separately, all the pieces are great (the textures on the shirt and scarf are absoutely lovely). Collectively, I'm not sure though. Hopefully it's just one of those tricks the brain plays on you. If not... well, I've certainly worn worse outfits.

Outfit Wars #2

2008-05-23T23:06:00.000-07:00

Now, for the long awaited second installment of...OUTFIT WARS, YEAH! WOOOO!

Fi's Outfit:
Four times (4x!!!). That is how many times Dolly asked for my advice when putting her outfit together for today's post. When I reminded her about the rule that we aren't allowed to talk to each other about our outfit war outfit, she claimed she "forgot about that." Hmmm.... Interesting, given that she is the one who created that rule (yes, like a tyrannical despot imposing oppressive laws that apply to everyone but herself). Very interesting, given that she waited a whole 10 minutes between her first plea for help and the second (obviously hoping that I'm as much a dimwit as she was pretending to be). And like any lazy and uninspired dictator who has the peasants do all the work and then takes credit for it, Dolly panicked when she realized she was on her own for this one. What else would explain that concoction she calls an outfit? I mean, as the "boss," why is she dressed like that kid from the neighborhood who all the other parents tell their kids to stay away from (affectionately referred to in my youth as "that hooligan down the street")? And, perhaps most importantly, is it just me or does Dolly bare a chilling resemblance to a love child of Marilyn Manson and Punky Brewster!?!?!?!?!?!

Hair: Marai Style - Rico in pearl
Skin: Celestial Studios - Deviant Nation Vogue, Vamp/Enchant
Eyes: Miriel - Dark Blue
Eyelashes: Cake - Bedroom Lashes
Tee: KBL - Little Bird T in white (only 5L!!!!)
Skirt: Red Buttafly - Happy Pretty Death Skirt

Bracelet: Smitten - Gold Opal Dangle
Earrings: Untone Quilt - Drop Earring (free gift)

DG's Outfit:
Fionna took me to Red Buttafly, I had never been there before but she was sure I would love their skirts - and I did! What surprised me was that...Fio liked them too...now, Fi has a great sense of style, she wouldn't be on the blog if she didn't but...her outfits, I have a feeling target a...more mature audience. We ended up picking out the same skirt as our favorite, another surprise, and I suggested that we use it for our next Outfit Wars outfit, not even thinking at the time that it may be a bit difficult for someone with a more um, sophisticated(?) sense of style. I quickly put my outfit together, a little dash of Suicide Girl, some Barbie here and there, it was pretty bitchin'. Meanwhile, Fionna's taking her time. Changes her mind a lot. Er...what the hell, the process is probably about as exciting as her outfit is...oops, did I just type that out? Sorry, typo, the keys are so close together, I meant to type: Fio's process was a little slow but WELL WORTH THE WAIT. :D Ummm, anyway...her outfit is *cute* and...it reminds me of my grandma! Nothing wrong with thinkin' about your nana!

It's there where no one will stare...

2008-05-20T21:00:00.000-07:00

Compared to most of the SL population, I'd say I dress rather conservatively. Unless I'm at the beach or engaged in a similar type of activity, I don't normally wear bikini tops as my shirt. That changed, however, when I saw this bikini top/jacket combination. Paired with a gypsy skirt, flat sandals, and a bouquet of flowers, it creates a summery hippy-ish look.
With slim fitting capris, bold-colored heeled sandals, and oversized sunglasses, it forms a more modern and trendy look. Despite the lack of coverage of the bikini and the sheerness of the jacket, the style (I love the flouncy sleeves on the jacket), muted earthtone colors, and textures of these pieces lend themselves to a variety of outfit options even for the more modest of us.

I'm wearing:

Hair: Marai Style - Rico in pearl
Skin: Celestial Studios - Deviant Nation Vogue, Vamp/Enchant

I got to meet Annah Whitfield of AnnaH Couture, and she was super nice, so I decided to use something from there in this post. This is such a simple, classic, mellow outfit, and that's good because lately things have been pretty hectic with the party and me going all rabid over the new Starlust.

Little Miss Can't be Wrong

2008-05-15T08:31:00.000-07:00

I'm not going to rant about SL and its plethora of problems lately, let alone the gazillion I encountered today. I'm sure you all have your own stories to grumble about. I spent the better half of today being a crabby, cantankerous Crankenstein. I even thought about borrowing a page from Dolly's guide to looking fashionably macabre just so I could whine some more and show everyone how miserable I was. In the end, however, I decided to go in a different direction. I opted for a more cheerful, "mod-chic" look, hoping it would rub off on my mood. It didn't. But I love this dress anyway.

Hair: ETD - Cora in chestnut

So, I hit up the sales this weekend. I got some great stuff from Thimbles and Decollage and played around with what I got until I came up with this. Then, when I was done and realized how much I adore the She Street Tank, I went to the Thimbles mainstore in Starlust and got another one in blue, but I'm pretty sure I'll end up with the whole collection...I've been wanting a new skin lately, and I think I'll hit up either <3 Cupcakes! again or maybe NO...

Welcome to the jungle...

2008-05-02T11:45:00.000-07:00

When Dolly asked me to do a weekly post on her blog, I was flattered and jumped at the opportunity. Finally - I have a justification and ready excuse for shopping! As all my favorite stores flashed before my virtual eyes, my reasons for wanting to do this were clear. Less apparent, however, were her reasons for asking me; after all, I'm just a girl whose outfit she noticed when we both happened to be shopping at the same store. I don't claim to have anywhere near the fashion sense of all the SL fashion bloggers out there. But that is what is so great about Dolly - she is less interested in the latest zeitgeist of the fashion world and more interested in individual expression. "Just wear what you like," she told me, "don't worry about whether or not other people will like it." With that in mind, I put this outfit together for my first official DG post.

I know that this is the part of my post where I'm supposed to write interesting and clever things about my outfit and what inspired it, but I cannot help but think, "Does anyone really care?" I mean do you really care that I've been drawn to yellow lately because the weather has been Spring-like and that in RL there is no shade of yellow that looks even remotely good on me? I didn't think so. So if you ever notice that I'm rambling on about how my choice of bold accessories brought to life a white t-shirt and jeans or how I made a babydoll look more casual by adding jeans and flats (or anything else that is evident just by looking at the pic of my outfit), feel free to skip over that part. In fact, I encourage it. In the meantime, I'll try to find a way to use my voice here that doesn't make Dolly wonder what on earth she was thinking when she asked me to do this.

I'm wearing:

Hair: Tricolore - Ameria in Honey (group gift)

Skin: Last Call - Deviant Nation Vogue, Vamp/Enchant

Eyes: Miriel - Dark Blue

Eyelashes: Celestial Studios - Deviant

Shirt: E.M.A. - Cutsew in yellow

Shorts: Shop Seu - Short Pants in black

Shoes: Truth - Newtown Wedges (group gift)

God knows why I wanted to wear this outfit, the shirt is from Armidi, and...I was sooo tired of seeing it everywhere, but then I realized the orange one would go great with this jacket I got from GRANDMA! and the outfit was born. Thank you Fionna for letting me wear your Aviators. :D

I'm just a stranger...

2008-04-21T20:02:00.000-07:00

Sometimes I feel bad for my neighbors, I really do. I got a call earlier from my neighbor and she told me her husband would be home from work late and asked if i could babysit, and I said sure because they're super nice and their kids are really good, and nothing wrong with extra money, right? But, I think sometimes they wish that there were more options available...

What they want:

What they got:
(note: the hair isn't really supposed to look emo, it's just the closest thing to wet i could find, which was what my hair was when I went over.)

All in all it went okay, no one got hurt, we had some fun.

Outfit Wars #1

2008-04-10T18:39:00.000-07:00

Fionna and I came up with the idea to take an item, any item, and make two completely different outfits revolving around that item. We were super excited and got to work right away, then...things quickly went sour, and thus, Outfit Wars was born.

Fionna's outfit:

When this idea was initially bandied about, the understanding was that we'd put together our individual looks and then reveal them to the other. However, when Dolly asked me if I had the Adina dress from <3 Cupcakes, I searched my inventory and put it on in front of her so I could see what I had to work with. Paying little mind to Dolly, I began to try on different accessories and articles of clothing. I finally settled on a chic and sophisticated look, pairing the dress with a black tinted pair of G.L.A.M. metallic tights, a little black cape, and a pair of Maitreya slinky stilettos. Curious about Dolly's progress, I glanced over at her and noticed she was opting for a more casual look, pairing the dress with jeans. As we chatted about our looks, Dolly complimented my outfit and told me she loved it. I still felt like there was something missing and continued to fiddle around with it. When I next looked at Dolly, she had, to my surprise, decided upon a more glamorous look: the dress was coupled with a dressy short jacket and the Tesla stilettos! Hmmm... sound familiar? Now, I'm not accusing Dolly of copying me, nor am I claiming that no one has ever come up with a similar look. But the circumstances do seem to suggest something more at play than RFT (random fashion telepathy). Let's just say that her outfit was perhaps *inspired* by mine.

After a good night's sleep and waking to a sunny and warm day, I was motivated to put together a more casual and spring-like outfit. The shrug is perfect for the chill of a Spring breeze. The texture of the dress gives the outfit the sort of floaty, airy quality I love about Spring. Not wanting to disturb that flow, I added white capris and silver shoes. To complete the look I chose silver jewelry with turquiose stones, which compliment the color of the shrug. The best part - Dolly didn't see it until it was time to take the photos!

Hair: ETD - Alyssa in black
Skin: Last Call - Deviant Nation Vogue, Ether/Void
Eyes: Miriel - Dark Blue
Dress: <3 Cupcakes - Adina (free)
Capris: Wrong - White 3/4 Pants
Shrug: Last Call - Lorie Ballet Shrug in ceylon (part of Lorie outfit)
Shoes: Maitreya - Slinky Stilettos in silver
Necklace and Earrings: Second Mirage - Morah Silver and Turquoise Necklace and Dangling Earrings (from the Morah Silver and
Turquoise set)
Bracelet: SLink - Silver Beaded Bangles

DG's Outfit:
When I asked Fionna if she had the Adina Dress from <3 Cupcakes, she said yes and tried it on. Then as we had agreed, I cammed away from her and started working on my outfit. After looking through my inventory a bit and trying on different things with the dress, I finally decided that I wanted to do something super classy. "I know what I'll wear!" I exclaimed and set to work making my outfit.

I remembered that I had just gotten that great fur coat from Schadenfreude in the Haute Couture Style Hunt and when I tried it on, it went *great* together. I added a 20's style bob for more of a vintage starlet look, then the Natasha heels from Tesla and a great freebie necklace from Alienbear. After I was finished I cammed back over to Fionna and looked at her outfit so far. It was very...glam. Very...vintage glam. I tried to talk myself out of it "It's just such a classy dress, I'm sure starlet is what comes to mind for a lot of people when they see it!" but in the back of my mind, I knew the truth. The next day I asked her if she finished her outfit and when I TPed her, it was completely different from the night before.

Guilty conscience?...You decide.

Skin: <3 Cupcakes! Popfuzz skin in medium - <3 Cupcakes Edition 1
Eyes: Sh*t Happens Medium Silver Eyes
Eyelashes: Cake Flutter Lashes
Hair: BP* Okappa Hair
Jacket: Schadenfreude Cropped Grey Fur Coat
Dress: <3 Cupcakes! Adina Dress

Necklace: Alienbear Babyblue Moonstone with diamonds necklace (yes, I edited the main stone to go with my outfit.)
Bracelet: Miam Miam Coco Bangle Bracelet

Good morning starshine, the earth says hellllooooooooo

2008-04-08T14:21:00.000-07:00

Strawberry Alarm Clock is the shiz.

Anyway, in response to the whole "omg they copied" bullshit.

Silly bloggers, silly designers. Don't you know by now that everyone is a hypocrite? The entire argument about it being wrong to copy things from RL into SL is ridiculous, everything in SL is copied from RL. If you want to get really picky about the whole thing, do you think god is mad that the puny people of Linden Labs copied his trees, ocean, sky and grass?

Honestly, it's ludicrous. If we had to give credit where credit was due in every little tiny aspect of or SL or even our RL for that matter, it would just be silly.

I am of course against down right stealing. Content theft in Second Life, that's horrible. It's horrible because you're stealing business from the person who worked hard on whatever it is that's being stolen. Not to mention for an assortment of other reasons.

Taking an article of clothing from a real world designer's collection and using it in Second Life? You're not taking business away from anyone. You can't wear the item in RL, and if you like it so much that you wish to, you'll have to go out and buy it.

In my opinion, it should be up to the creator to decide whether or not to add a note card saying "this item is from whatever by whatever designer." I don't know. I can look at a piece and go "Oh yeah I know where they got that from!" or I'll buy it and find out later, and it really honestly does not bother me. I don't feel like I've been jipped, or that the SL designer is any less creative, or that they're stealing from a RL designer. Maybe that's just me.

It's just not that big of a deal, come on.

Enough rambling, on to the outfit:

I'm wearing:

Skin: <3 Cupcakes! Popfuzz skin in medium - <3 Cupcakes Edition 1
Hair: Aden Edie in Black with Regina Long in Black
Eyelashes: Cake Flutter Lashes
Leggings: Punch Drunk Heart Leggings in Pink
Socks: Shiny Things Soft Plaid Socks in Pink
Shirt: Tres Blah Thermals in Pink

I still hear the children playing...

2008-04-07T21:45:00.000-07:00

Man, I've been in such a spooky mood lately. Hopefully you've noticed by now that almost all my posts titles are song lyrics - music is very important to me.

Lately, I've been listening to a lot of dark stuff: Nico, Björk, CocoRosie, Danny Elfman, Rasputina...I wont list my entire play list, but one of the songs included is Tranqulize by The Killers. I love The Killers, I really do. Their music is so theatrical, and a little bit sad, and whoever writes their music is a lyrical genius. (I want to say it's the band but I'm not sure, if anyone knows for certain they should let me know!)

Anyway, this outfit is inspired by that song, it's a little too pretty if you ask me, so think of her as the kind of girl who doesn't play hardcore because she is hardcore, think outlaw country, Johnny Cash, think grimey Las Vegas, going to nudie bars with a glass of whiskey and a cigar and not leaving until she's doubled the money she came with.

Maybe I should have added sunglasses, sunglasses are badass. I also should have added a bolo tie.

I'm wearing:

Skin: <3 Cupcakes! Popfuzz skin in medium - <3 Cupcakes Edition 1
Eyelashes: Cake Flutter Lashes
Hair: Gritty Kitty Ministry in Chocolate
Jacket: Sinistyle Six-Shooter
Jeans: Armidi A001 Jeans in Regular Classic
Shoes: J's Western Boots in Black
Necklace: Kitty's Rampage Brass Knuckle Necklace in Silver
Bracelet: Shiny Things Belou Cuff in Blue (This is a little bit big on me cause it was made for a dude, but, it's still really pretty!)

I want you whipped into shape...

Wow, I really love Legally Blonde the Musical. It's a dangerous infatuation.

After getting the new issue of Vain Inc Magazine and seeing my picture, (bragging, me? never!) I decided to do another outfit that could be considered "fly."

Fionna (featured a couple posts below this one, definitely not the April fools one) introduced me to Rosemar and I'm definitely going to go there and splurge, they have some really really cute dresses and great freebies, including the skin I'm wearing.

Guest Outfit

2008-03-31T14:02:00.000-07:00

Like many other G.L.A.M lovers, I was gorging myself on their sale clothes when I ran into Fionna Bracken. She was wearing a super cute spring outfit, and I told her so, then we chatted about freebies (she has the art of freebie wearing down to a science!) clothing layers, and her doing a guest outfit for my blog. She was really excited and so was I, and it was just the thing I needed to kick me back into fashiony gear.

The shoot went really well, we talked for a long time afterwards, and somehow we ended up sitting in Trailer Park Lawn Chairs and putting on fairy wings, Amelie hair, wellies then PornStars and just generally being really silly.

If her word for me is "quirky" my word for her is "refreshing", she is one cool girl and I look forward to doing more guest outfits with her in the future.

She's wearing:

Hair: ETD - Lynne II in black
Skin: Celestial Studios - Vogue, Mid Rose
Eyes: Miriel - Dark Blue
Top: Last Call - Francesca Satin Halter (part of outfit)
Pants: Last Call - Candice Satin Pants (part of outfit)

Flower: Artilleri - Rose Hair Flower
Earrings: Celestial Studios - Eliza Boho Dangle Earrings (Week of Love group gift)

See me, see me bubblin' quietly

2008-03-14T12:12:00.000-07:00

I've been wanting to make this post for a while now:

What is the point of DG? -points to right hand columns- Inspiration.

I'm going to use articles of clothing that is no longer available, or clothes from itty bitty stores that may only sell one or two products, sometimes I'll post things that aren't even wearable in world. The point is to inspire, I don't want people to copy my outfits head to toe, even though they are welcome to, that is not my goal.

SL is fun, but dangerous. In the real world, assimilation is only possible to a certain extent, everyone is different, even if they choose not to express that fact. In SL, you can be identical to another avatar. Exact same skin, exact same clothing...but why?

I've been dissapointed lately, it seems like all we see any more is Armidi head to toe, I mean, I love Armidi as much as the next girl but...come on. I never want to be that person, in fact, I try not to post an outfit if there are more than 2-3 items from the same store.

No wonder there has been so many problems with content theft, people are starting to think that the only way to be successful in SL is to "create" the same thing that has been done before...that's just part of why I think there is so much content theft, mind you, there is the obvious get rich fast factor as well, and the "look at this awesome thing that I can take all the credit for!" factor too.

Just some food for thought.

Also, can anyone recommend some fashion feeds? Iheartsl is on crack lately. =[

On to the outfit:

I'm wearing:

Surprise surprise, another outfit inspired by Agyness Deyn! Well, Burberry, if you want to get technical.

2008-03-08T18:58:00.000-08:00

Two outfits today because I'm lazy and haven't been posting. Plus, I changed the way I post outfits and I wanted to show it off.

A lot to talk about today.

Can anyone tell me why *IR* (Is it Indie Rainbow?) skins are only $150L? Is there a sale or is that their normal price? I was skippin' along in Appearance Mode today and decided to go in because I hadn't been since it was [Random Industries] and I was pretty much shocked, they're really good skins, at least in my opinion.

I also took a trip to Boing Fromage today and was delighted, I always forget how much I like that store.

Oh, and, it's official, I'm in love with Agyness Deyn. If you've ever seen me in world, you know that I very very rarely wear long hair styles out and about, it's almost always pixie cutish or an updo. So, Agyness Deyn pushes my inspiration button into overdrive with JUST her hair alone. We're not even going to get into how amazingly androgynous she is.

In case you don't know who I'm gushing about:

Here are your two outfits:

I'm wearing:

Skin: *IR* Glow in Contrast

Burnt Silver Brushed Lavender Offspring...

2008-02-29T17:02:00.000-08:00

Hi there!

I'm thinking of making this a weekly thing, every Friday taking a snapshot at a different location instead of just a boring old post.

I'm also thinking of holding a contest! This snapshot was based on Alice in Wonderland, which has been done so many times but never gets old for me. So, I propose a contest in which you must dress up as one of your favorite characters from the movie. It doesn't have to be blatant, it just needs AiW undertones.

How many people would be interested in a contest like this? I wont post the details or the prize until I know for sure that some people would submit something.

Why, is a raven like a writing desk?

Shuli-esque.

2008-02-27T20:01:00.001-08:00

I like the movie Itty Bitty Titty Committee, however, I don't consider myself a feminist. Do I support womens rights? Of course. Do I believe that women should be treated like equals by men? Yes, especially in the workforce. The again, I also believe that a woman has the right to choose how she would like to be treated by men, some women enjoy the stay-at-home mom deal, and that is their right. I don't think that makes them less powerful, and it's a shame that people think it does. When you do something that you love, that makes you powerful, in my opinion at least.

I'm not saying that I'm that kind of woman at all, I would go nuts staying at home all the time, but I know women who are into that kind of thing, and I know women who look down on them for it, which I feel is really sad. Maybe women should work on treating each other as equals before they start working on the men.

I've found that often times I respect anonymous activists rather than the ones who feel the need to yell and scream about something. It's like they have something to prove, which I think is wrong. That being said, I really don't like Shuli as a character very much. I do love her style, however.

P.S. Any movie with Daniela Sea in it is a good movie. Yum.

This weekend I have to go to some art award thingy with my S/O...and I have to dress up. Ew. Okay, a few posts down you can read about my RL style, dressing up is icky. I have a cute argyle sweater that I know I'll wear...but, khakis? Ugh. I hate khakis. I can't even find my one pair of khakis...maybe I can wear my nice pair of blue jeans, the ones that I haven't drawn on or ripped up yet...

Anyway...here is a snobby look for your viewing pleasure!

I'm wearing:

Skin: miw Level1: Vain Jane Skin
Hair: Aden Edie in Black

Shirt: Paper Couture Paint Tipping
Jacket: Last Call Virginie

Lick-A-Chick? MECCA!

2008-02-20T09:45:00.000-08:00

I think I may have made some kind of pledge to myself that I would start posting *whatever* I was wearing in SL that day...I do the weirdest crap.

The result is a fabulous but simple outfit from Cashmere. I love this store, I really do. I love the 80's vibe, and the design of the mainstore is awesome, and the outfits are all so unique. The only thing I wish is that there were more layers. Say it with me: MORE LAYERS.

I know I would be wearing this little skinny tie all the freakin' time, you thought I was bad with never changing my hair, skin or lashes! (I'm workin' on it...) I'd wear the jacket separate a lot too, it's great!

Plus, I'm such a mizering bitch. I really am. I very rarely buy things if I feel as though I'm not getting an absolute buttload for what I'm spending.

P.S. Nevermind the title, I've been watching lesbian comedians again.

I'm wearing:

Skin: miw Level1: Pink Lemonade skin
Hair: Armidi Hair The Pasadena Girl V Midnight Collection in Midnight I
Jacket: Cashmere Remy
Slacks: Cashmere Remy
Shoes: Shiny Things Ruffle Boots in Black
Bracelet: I made this, for more info contact me in world. (Dolly Gwynneville)

Like the city in Alaska?

2008-02-19T14:29:00.000-08:00

Firstly: A reader IMed me (but I didn't catch her name, my SL crashed before I had a chance to answer) and asked for a LM for the store, that I guess was formerly known as Overdose. Does anyone know what they changed their name to? If so, please leave a comment so I can change my information. =]

I've been glammin' it up lately so for a change I wanted something extra comfy looking, really relaxed, how I would dress in real life. I almost never go out with a jacket, I'm one of those people that layer their clothes when it's like 90 degrees outside. This look also reminds me a lot of Juno from the movie...Juno. :D (Hence the title of this entry.) I definitely think it's the hair.

I'm wearing:

Skin: miw Fall Light Skin (Porkchops) (I know, I wear this skin way too much, but it is one of my favorites...I don't let go of things easily...think about my lashes!)
Hair: Armidi Hair The Ginza in Espresso
Jacket: Tres Blah Layered Jersey
Sculpted Jacket: Cubic Effect Full Sculpted Jacket
Jeans: Celestial Studios Destroyed Wash
Shoes: Shiny Things Old Boots in Black
Necklace: I made this, if you'd like to know more, just contact me in world! (Dolly Gwynneville)

2008-02-18T16:51:00.000-08:00

Some good news: I submitted my link to both fashion world of SL and iheart! and I might do a double post tonight!

I think I use gold too much now...

Anyway, I love these jeans, I could not resist them! (Excuse the crappy 2nd picture, I did that one in a rush.) They remind me faintly of some FD pants I have.

I'm wearing:

Skin: miw Fall Light Skin (Porkchops)
Hair: Hiccup Nerd Swept (Black)
Shirt: Mischief Bold - Charcoal
Jacket: Armidi Gisaci Bunni 45 Mini Dress in Gold

DG does Spring.

2008-02-17T12:26:00.000-08:00

I wear a lot of black in RL, and in SL, and I almost never buy a shoe in any color other than black, unless it's color change, but Periquita has shoes for 49L, so I bought these lovely lilac babies in honor of Spring. I also went blonde for a change! I really like the seashell color from Diversity Hair, it's such a shiny pretty blonde, it kind of reminds me of my mom. (awww!)

Oh, and a bit about these stockings: I. Love. Them.

I'm wearing:

Skin: miw Level1: Sweetpea skin
Hair: Diversity Hair Penelope - Seashell
Pantyhose: Simone! Steno Pool Stockings
Shirt: Cashmere Jive Top
Jacket: Mischief Bold - Charcoal
Shorts: G.L.A.M Tweed Slacks in Charcoal (not sure if they make this any more.)

Portfoliowls. (I'm punny.)

2008-02-12T10:28:00.000-08:00

I have great news! While shopping in <3 Cupcakes!, I saw a very pretty avvie, and I told her as much. She IMed me back and told me that I had an edgy style and that I should model for...Avenue Models! She sent me an application and told me to put a portfolio together, so that's what I've been doing instead of updating. They should get back to me sometime this week on whether or not I have the job.

Now, on to your regularly scheduled post:

So, I love Owls. They are my favorite animal after the Jackalope and the Narwhal. My favorite pieces in SL are owl related, and this shirt from Tres Blah is no exception.

I'm wearing:

Skin: miw Fall light Skin (dawn)
Hair: Armidi Hair The Pasadena Girl V Brunette Collection in Chocolat
Eyelashes: RaC Mascara 01 Black Dramatic

And so ends Carnival...

2008-02-05T15:46:00.000-08:00

I have been so bored with my clothes on SL lately. I needed to do something really drastic for todays outfit. I may have mentioned before that I love all things post-apoc, and that goes along with my love for asylums, and deranged carnivals. (I really love Carnival of Doom on SL, if you get a chance, check it out.) I don't know, I have a thing for that kind of stuff, which results in a big portion of my inventory being filled with theme outfits, straight jackets, top hats, gas masks, all kinds of stuff...that I only wear once in a while. So, I figured that today I would show some of it off!

Two outfits, yay!

I'm wearing:

Outfit 1:
Skin: miw FruitLoops: Cherry Coke (light)
Hair: Diversity Hair Penelope - Coal
Socks: Artilleri Carmen Stockings
Dress: The Kitty Box Skeleton Love Dress
Shoes: Shiny Things Tuxedo Pumps - Black
Piercing: Red Ruin Throat Corset
Hair piece: Sinistyle Hair Rose - Skull N Bones

Outfit 2:
Skin: miw FruitLoops: Cherry Coke (light)

Undershirt: <3 Cupcakes! White Lacey Shirt

Shoes: Jeepers Creepers Platform All Blacks
Top hat: BareRose EGA Noble Black

Kayt Xi had been itching to do another outfit, so when I finally got the chance, I took her up on it. This look is sort of hiphop preppy, almost reminds me of Christina Aguilera...maybe it's the pose, I think "Genie in a Bottle" when I see it.

Faux Fall.

2008-01-31T14:44:00.000-08:00

My favorite season is autumn, I love all the typical stuff like the trees and the harvest vegetables and the nice weather, but I also love that it's when life seems to pick up again after those slow summer days, fall is when I have all kinds of fresh ideas and lots of things to think about through the winter. Then, during winter, those new ideas usually just turn into stress...but...er...I still like fall a lot. I wish it was fall right now, so I created a Faux Fall look.

I'm wearing:

Skin: miw Fall light Skin (dawn)
Hair: Naughty Designs Cool Tones Dark "Impulse"
Eyelashes: RaC Mascara 01 Black Dramatic
Socks: Shiny Things Knit Knee Socks (Camel)
Shirt: Tres Blah Polka Dot Blouse - Pearl
Jacket: Decollage Set Me Free
Shorts: It's All Good Plaid Shorts (Brown and Orange)
Shoes: Shiny Things Comfy Boots in Brown

Are you ready to be liberated?

2008-01-28T20:05:00.001-08:00

This is one of my favorite outfits from The Ultimate Notecard of Ultimate Outfits. When I first started SL, I was really into rockabilly/psychobilly, and while this look is really neither, it still reminds me of when I used to hang out with that crowd. Eventually, I bought out Artilleri and got tired of that particular look. (I just counted how many things I have from Artilleri -

24 tops
3 dresses
3 Hairs
15 pieces of jewelry
7 pairs of pants
1 skin
5 tattoos
and
4 pieces of underclothes

some of that stuff is really old Artilleri wear, I got it when I first started playing, a little under two years ago, when Antie had her tinnnny store!)

Anyway, I got off topic, sometimes I like to let my rebel out, end of story.

I'm wearing:

Skin: miw Fall Light Skin (Porkchops)
Hair: Hiccup Nerd Swept (Black)
Eyelashes: OMG NEW EYELASHES! RaC Mascara 01 Black Dramatic
Socks: WRONG Fishnet Tights in Red
Shirt: Punch Drunk DIY Dress top
Jeans:Form F*cked Jeans
Shoes: KK Outfitters Lo-top Kool Kicks
Bracelet: I <3 Juicy Bangle Set
Necklace: I made this, if you want to know more, please feel free to IM me in world. =] (Dolly Gwynneville)

Fly Free.

2008-01-26T13:01:00.000-08:00

Another outfit from The Ultimate Notecard of Ultimate Outfits. I wish I knew who made this "bang bang" shirt, but I don't. If anyone does know, please leave me a comment on the most recent blog post.

I'm wearing:

Skin: miw Level1: Rosey Skin
Hair: Hiccup Slow Jamz 2007 in Dark Brown
Eyelashes: Sin Skins Vanity Lashes
Undershirt: It's All Good White Tank and Bottom Tank in the Short Double Buttoned Vests
Jacket: Fashionably Dead Leather Sequin Jacket (Brown)

Classic.

2008-01-26T12:50:00.000-08:00

I've been at a complete loss for outfits the last couple of days, and I think it's just because I've been under a lot of stress lately and my neck has been hurting like a bitch. I went to the doctor yesterday and got some muscle relaxants, and after the best nights sleep I've had in probably years, I was like "it's bloggin' time."

I came up with this outfit last night, like I said I was at a loss for outfits so I just went with something very classic and simple.

I'm wearing:

Skin: miw Fall Light Skin (Porkchops)
Hair: Aveda Med Curl in Noir
Sunglasses: Fashionably Dead Ultimate Bugeye Glasses (Black Frames)
Tights: G.L.A.M. Dark Tone Sheer Tintable Lycra Tights
Undershirt: <3 Cupcakes! White Lacey Shirt in the shirt layer(tinted to make it darker) and from It's All Good, the Bottom Tank in the Short Double Buttoned Vests (again, tinted to make it darker.)

-I did this because with the underwear layer from the White Lacey Shirt, some off tummy shows and it didn't go the look.-

Jacket: Veschi Parachutey Jacket in Black
Pants: Savvy? Dear Stephanie Shorts
Shoes: Shiny Things Signature Slingbacks in Black (after the picture, I decided that the Vintage Strappy Pumps went much better.)
Bracelet: Miam Miam Coco Bangle Bracelet
