Something Fun




Gah!!! Why is it so cold these days?? Damn winter, luckily we have SL and its forever 80 degree weather for wearing next to nothing. Maybe i should note its only about 60 degrees where i am, but that's cold for me, i need at least 90 degree weather. I'm Californian, what can i say?

Last time i posted i pulled out one of my fave mini-dresses, i decided to do it again. This has got to be the most PERFECT mini-dresses ever!!! I love Digit Darkes and when this was released, i ran over some invisible non-rezzed bishes getting over to the vendor wall so i can get my Digit fix. I know, im HARDCORE (dont act like you don't know rofl) I love the perfect lace details at the top and bottom, I've worn this as a dress out and as a dress in (ahem, was VERY well received in) what else can i say about it besides PERFECT! I decided to go for a "I'm stepping out and I'm taking no prisoners" look with the dress today, a cute shrugs from Boom, Gladiator Boots and simple jewelry.

Speaking of jewelry, my kick ass earrings are made by my girl and new jewelry designer Kieran Debevec. Kier is opening her very first store CHLOE in the new Rising Pheonix sim (opening this Sat) so you'd better pop on over!




Back to what i was saying (i am sooo ADD i know) so after Nic told me the Leona skins have been released, I ran over and couldn't decide between Pale and Tan.. so ended up getting them both. Honestly, Redgrave's bundle pack are such a deal that it seems silly NOT to buy in bundles. I've been sporting the makeup in blue, glitter and ash which are my faves so far. The others are incredible as well. I wont review them but if you wanna see a review check out Sofia's or Gogo's blogs, besides, they said it much better then i ever could, I'm just a whore for good shit!

Slumdog Millionaire



So honestly, the title has nothing to do with the clothing and i find myself doing more "blogging" about random things including clothing, so why should this entry be any different?? I just saw Slumdog Millionaire tonight, I've heard such incredible reviews about it but i wasn't going to see it, i figure...all that hype, you know I'll probably hate it. On the encouragement of 3 GFs.. and the fact that i got out-voted on the movies (I wanted to see Bride Wars.. sue me, i dig cheesy shit like that) we saw Slumdog. The opening sequence with the kids running through the slums was fuckin amazing and it really makes you think.

I wont spoil the movie, but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE if it's in your area GO SEE IT!!! It's fucking amazing, i found myself holding my breath, rooting for the underdog, twisting and turning as the plot.. and that's all I'll say.. oh and the soundtrack is amazing, I'm popping over to the record store after this to pick up a copy.


So now that I've said my peace on that subject.. the look! I've been sporting this a few days now. The En Svale jacket that's been blogged by everyone, their mama and alts, and i wasn't going to, honestly i was holding back. BUT I HAD TO!! It worked with my 80s-ish look and is frankly..a DAMN nice jacket. I've always been a fan of Emery, I've had this dress for a LONG TIME and wear it quite often and figured it about time to blog it! I dig the graphics, it reminds me of when i was 8 with those "super posh Le Chic" graphic tee's i so cherished. I went with torn "fuck you and your stockings without holes, i have holes cus i just don't care for the government or conformity" stockings, very punk, jewelry from FABULOUS. Funny story about Fabulous, i found it one day shopping and i've been addicted since, i dig the very 80's feel and i literally own everything Dango made, and these rings.. DIG SOOOO HARD CORE!! Just go get them, you wont regret it and of course, the perfect boots for it all.. Redgrave.

Speaking of Redgrave... OMG LEONA skins... I WANT YOU!!!

Brrrrrr!



The roads are icy and I'm still stuck at my house and was really feeling the need for something warm and snuggly. I had gone to pick up that denim jacket from En Svale that everyone is blogging these days and discovered tons of other awesome clothes, such as the sweater and pants shown here!




Such awesome detailing of the edges and buttons. The sweater is also offered in a light tan and the pants come in a light gray and what the creator calls rose, but looks more like a brown to me. The whole outfit was feeling kinda european hunting lodge to me, so I paired it with the sassy bob and cap from Argrace and skin from KA (the light smattering of freckles across the nose is uber cute!)

Hello Hawt Pink Kitty


Seems I'm trying to make up for lost time blogging almost every day now. But as I was shopping I saw these shoes at GBL (Georgiabean Lately) and while I'm not a huge Hello Kitty fan, I do know at least one lady that is, so I had to showcase them in her honor (Here ya go Fai).




I had found both the shoes and the plaid capri pants from Axel during my Crush Row shopping excursion and all I needed was a top to pull it all together. This lovely hot pink tee with a scooped neck and clickable color-change belt was the perfect match.




The whole time I was working on the pics for this item, I kept thinking that this combo of hair/shape/skin/eyes reminded me of someone, but I couldn't quite place it until I saw an ad on TV...Gretchen from the Housewives of Orange County on Bravo. Hmm, heart of gold or golddigger? Can't wait to find out what happened after they got her drunk on tequila.

Ready Boots?


So, I'm wandering around Crush Row, seeing what's new during my absence, not much paying attention to what stores I'm in and I happen upon this top. Had to have it. In the immortal words of Wesley Snipes in To Wong Fu.."FRINGE!" After my bout of faintness had passed I noticed what store it was. Imagine my surprise that it was the very same Boom that my sista Bubs has been raving about.

So anyway, I was thinking to pair it with some artsy bell-bottoms and go for a hippie look, but when i put it on with the denim micro-mini I already had on from Calypso, a seed was planted. After rummaging through the overstuffed inventory for just the right hair and boots...Voila! Jessica Simpson as Daisy Duke.

Girly Fun




I gotta say, it's sooo much more fun to be a girl (sorry boys) I haven't done many girly looks lately, so i gotta go back to my roots!! I love girly skirts, fluffy, pretty, princessy, take care of me, from my dad's house to my husband's house, finishing school, eating dinner with 6 forks GIRLY!!!! Okie...maybe that's too damn girly, but you get my drift. The way I dress, it seems, is to pick out one item, then build a look around that item. I'm a big mixer and matcher, though there are many designers i just wear the outfit is as.. bu i digress! I chose this incredibly wonderful skirt from Kawaii Jelly (which btw, has the BEST name for a shop in all of SL..i means seriously.. KAWAIIIIIII!!!) because of its fluffy wonderful goodness. I tried out many options and settled for this pretty look. Kinda sporty, kinda glam, just really friggin cute. The shirt is from ETD and as for jewelry, i wanted this huge honkin super pretentious ring and its Paper Couture to the rescue! I sported a very short hair do' just because it felt right and of course my most favorite earrings.. EVER, i thought long hair would distract too much from the skirt goodness.

I don't think enough people blog Apple May Design skins.. seriously.. go check our line out, there's some serious goodness there, i especially love the dark eyes and pale pale lips. All in all, it was a happy SL day walking around!!

Alor

Back again for another drive-by fashion blog! While most of my outfits are usually mix n' match, there are just some designers that put together such fantabulous ensembles that they MUST be worn together...such is the case with ZIPZ. I hadn't been in a while, so I dropped in to see what was new in the past few months and I found.. Alor.





What sets ZIPZ apart from the other ensemble designers that I adore isn't the use of prim pieces and accessories to bring it all together, but with the intricate details of the actual clothing pieces. The ruffle and neckline trim in this outfit (as shown in the close-up) is amazing and makes me super-jealous that I don't have the talent to create items like this. Well, no, not really, I'm actually thankful that other people do have the patience and skill so I have stuff to shop for!

Speaking of details, my blog-mate, super friend, sister extrordinaire gave me a head's up to check out Digit Darkes' new line of skins, Undressed. Though the makeups are a bit heavier than I would wear on a day-to-day basis, especially with the eyeliner, they work beautifully with my edgier outfits. Check out the detailing around the eyes of this one called Feather...and combined with my new favorite eyes from MADesigns....just wow!

SKIN- Digit Darkes; Undress, W9, Sunkiss, feather;
EYES- MADesigns; Promise eyes, blue pale 4;
LASHES- Beauty Avatar; Regina, 07;
HAIR - Damselfly; Cicely, onyx blend;
DRESS- ZIPZ; Alor Set, red;

BOOM and Digit Darkes Goodness





BOOOOOM shake shake the roooom!! Rofl, no seriously, i think the first time i ever went into Boom was this past winter to grab the super cute earmuffs they had going on. I took a look around the store and was like.. "yea... gotta come back soon" Im all sorts of inlove with these jeans. They're the perfect low riders. Low enough for some sexy tattoo show off..but not so low you can say hi to my Cooch (like how i capitalized Cooch?? its THAT important rofl) The top is a new release i've been sporting at the clubs cus i dig a little but of club slut gear!

The skin is pure Digit Darkes goodness! I remember checking out Digit Darkes back when it was called X3D when my friend Grey Marquette would salivate over the clothing and had to show me the store. I haven't stopped shopping there since. At one point, i was pretty confident i owned close to half the clothing items and was working towards 100% ownership. Trust when i get into a brand name.. i fully immerse myself into the genus that is that designer!

I'm sporting skin from Digit's new line Undressed. I'm a true skin whore, i dig crazy couture style makeup and everyday. I'm sporting the Koralo makeup in the Sunkissed tone. I really do dig the lipstick on this skin, its the right amount of gloss for me. Its an everyday kinda look, though the skin line has many couture like looks, i wish there was more variety when it comes to lipstick colors. I do however.. LOVE LOVE LOVE the ass.. i was strutting around my island in a tiny bikini bottom just so i can stare at my ass. On that note.. i think i should have taken a pic of my bottom, maybe next time. But here's a closer look at the face which i adore while i listen to music, finish decorating my shack finally with the newest release from The Loft. Did i mention i love to karaoke but i am tone deaf? My friends said i cant carry a tune in a bucket. BISHES!!!

DJ Lemon Surprise in the HiZzZOUSE!!!!



Secret confessions of a DJ #1: There are certain songs in SL that get suppppper over-played. You all know the one, Crazy Bitch, Bilingual, Buttons, I Kissed a Girl... etc, sometimes i cringe when those get requested and i accidentally misplace the songs.. OOOOOOPSIE!!!!

Secret confessions of a DJ #2: There are certain over-played songs that i ABSOLUTELY love and will play them even if not asked to, one of those is Katy Perry's Hot and Cold. I'm sorry, i looooooooooooove that song and video.. which brings me to my look! I re-created (sorta kinda) the look at Min 3:24 from the music video. Although its a typical 80s look, i realize i had blogged one of those yet! I've been rocking this look time to time.

I am truly a child of the 80s and love all things 80s inspired, music.. clothing.. plastic jewelry.. makeup.. well maybe not the makeup. I have dark skin RL and cant rock the super bright neon makeup. Why do i ramble when i blog these days?



And for your musical enjoyment.. the video in case you haven't seen it yet.

Dress Me Up Challenge - TearSong Vaughan





I took a much needed break for the holidays..and now im back yeaaa!!! I started the dress me up challenge before i left.. i got a few requests.. so here we go with the first one

*thinks*

Bubs, I want to see your dark side ;)
For the outfit I'd suggest something from Silent Sparrow, skin hmm...maybe the gothic elizabeth skins by Tuli or the [42] Dark Matter skins. If you happen to own some goth makeup in your inventore that will do fine as well. Hair from Calico or Detour and maybe you can add a little drama to the whole thing by using horns or wings or something like that ;)

Have fun!
TearSong



Funny enough.. i know Tear, we used to work together at what was SL's oldest running club.. The Edge (before it closed) and she was also one of my downlines in Tiny Empire... YES!!! i fell for tiny empire!! gahhhh!!!!!



So onto the look!! I've never been to Silent Sparrow before.. and while walking through.. this dress caught my eye right away. I love that there's so many pieces to mix and match, I went for the Lolita skirt and the jacket layer only, but it also comes with a full skirt and corset as well. I already had my hoofs and horns when i went shopping so i kept it on and i thought it worked anyways. The skin.. i went for the palest Celestial Skin the the Deviant Nation line.. I realized i bought it over a year ago and never wore it. I dig the runny mascara look and the pale pale lips. Hair.. just like Tear said.. i motored over to Detour.. i usually wear the Detour Bliss hair as my default hair, i went for a full bangs look of the Nocturne I, which is quickly becoming my new default hair. Before i realized it.. i became a Bubbles Baby Doll.. lol.. or at least i felt like it.

gahh its 5am.. its way too early to be up blogging this but im on East Coast time for work.. so i figure i might as well. I've been having trouble lately with my SL viewer and attachments, when i zoom in to take a pic..the attachments disappear, when i double check they're on and cam away.. they reappear. Funny that and its messing with my blogging pictures. I'd better end this before i have the urging to kick SL in her VaJayJay!
