#74 Prom Night

‘Cause someday when you’re looking back on your life
At the memories, this is gonna be one of those nights – Tim McGraw

Prom night Mem 2nd tint

Looking back – it’s the photographs we treasure; letting us remember the details – the hours spent dreaming, planning and preparing.

Kay Weston of IMAGE ESSENTIALS has made this great set of pose props to catch our Second Life memories. IE Prom Night Set 1 (featured here) has a silky backdrop with flower lights that really does remind me of Prom Night photo booths set up to catch groups and couples.

There are 4 poses built in (click to sit on the flower urns) and this is the easiest prop to use – giving each person a menu with the option to adjust positions.

This would easily double as a sweet set for engagement or wedding photos.

#73 Oslo Up in Lights

Recently I had the privilege walking for Marquesse in the Let’s Summer Fashion Show.

This amazingly customizable outfit OSLO has 2 parts – the coat & shorts and the boots. The boot HUD has 5 colors to change boot, sole and laces. The coat and shorts HUD has 5 colors PLUS a color picker – so the coat and shorts can be whatever combination you can dream up.

I chose to keep the boots and coat white and shade the shorts to pick up the pink in this amazing OLD Dragonfly Hair by Boudoir from the 2012 Crazy Hair Hunt.

– If anyone ever reads this who has a dream to organize something that will be remembered by the participants FOREVER – please please organise another CRAZY HAIR HUNT

#70 POE 8 – New Year Blessings

Last year’s words belong to last year’s language

And next year’s words await another voice,

And to make an end is to make a beginning.

T.S.Eliot

NY closeup

This is the last week that the Peace On Earth 8 gifts will be available for free – the hunt ends on the 9th January!

For the New Year ball I attended I chose this POE 8 gift – a delicate ice blue gown Silent, by Kyria Lowenstark of .::KL Couture::. This gown and many of Kyria’s newer outfits are compatible with SL Classic and Mesh avatars, with appliers included for Maitreya, Belleza, Omega, EVE, Lolas Tango – and there are resizers included too. Read the vendors and try demos so that you know exactly what you are getting. While I was looking around I bought another gown … shhh!

My Beloved Jewelry Nola necklace and earring set with texture change gems and resizers is the POE 8 gift from Kimbra McMillan. Kimbra’s store is packed with her signature delicate jewelry for all occasions. Many items have metal and gem change options making them adaptable and very good value.

#47 Dual Hearts

Distance never separates
two hearts that really care.

Emily Matthews

Valentine’s Day is bittersweet in Second Life – many of us have dearly loved partners who are far from us … so we snatch what time we can together and make the most of romantic moments. This sweet pose prop – Dual Hearts – is available exclusively from Image Essentials at the With Love Fair, – Feb 6 to Feb 20.

My delicious gown is the !:Lybra:! Katherine Gown, which is Exclusive for Designer Showcase, worn with Maxi Gossamer’s – Arabella Wild Pearls – Long set from Collabor88.

Kohn wears Mohna Lisa Couture C.K. Outfit – Black, one of his most versatile outfits.

#32 the little pink dress

“Frozen yogurt is tastier than ice cream, nobody is too old for cartoons, bald men are sexy, chocolate is the best medicine, BIG books are better, cats secretly rule the planet, and everything should be available in the color pink, including monster trucks.”
― Richelle E. Goodrich, Smile Anyway: Quotes, Verse, & Grumblings for Every Day of the Year

Maybe it’s a phase.. maybe this is my “year of pink”… whatever the reason, I chose this T33*fy Flutter Dress from the many options available at the November C88. Both short and long versions of Maxi Gossamer’s Gypsy Flower Amulet of Antimony look great with the dress, and teamed with a pair of killer heels from FINESMITH and my Killing Time watch from my hmm somewhat extensive wardrobe I’m set to go.

#31 Halloween retrospective

I am learning something I suspect many have learned before – don’t let the idea (or plan) get so big that you end up writing NOTHING!

Second Life Halloween – the things that stand out this year are the over the top dramatic and lovely offerings from so many designers. For me ‘the look of the season’ was fabulous group gift horns from Vintage jewels worn with glorious orange eyes from [ MUDSKIN ] and PICHI Apricot lipstick – I was able to wear them with nearly everything for 2 weeks! My grand plan was to put all of the outfits in … so here are 3.

I had a bit of fun trying all the pose props set out in the spooky woods at Image Essentials. If you have never been there Image essentials has photo studios, shops and areas set up seasonally (or whenever Kay and her team feel like changing) … all free to use for group members!

#24 All dressed up…

“I don’t have a bike!”

Imagine – after 7 years in SL I had NO – zilch – zero – not one single motorcycle in my inventory. And I turn up in a party dress at a bike track.

Wearing a sweet glittery, easy to wear bouquet of a party dress from Prism, finished with strappy sandals and my new Byzantine Cross from Vintage Jewels – I was all set to dance the evening away.

#19 Feeling pink

This color represents compassion, nurturing and love. It relates to unconditional love and understanding, and the giving and receiving of nurturing.

A combination of red and white, pink contains the need for action of red, helping it to achieve the potential for success and insight offered by white. It is the passion and power of red softened with the purity, openness and completeness of white. The deeper the pink, the more passion and energy it exhibits.

#15 Where do you go to my lovely?

You talk like Marlene Dietrich
And you dance like Zizi Jeanmaire
Your clothes are all made by Balmain
And there’s diamonds and pearls in your hair, yes there are.

In the weekends when I wake up I slip into my newest luxury gown and saunter off to work at Mohna Lisa Couture – sipping coffee and rubbing sleep from my eyes.

When I’m at work I get to chat to the folk who come in – treasure hunters looking for the hidden objects , bridal parties seeking the perfect gowns and tuxedos to make their weddings magical, regulars who come to see what’s new and gorgeous, new residents looking for bargains, couples looking for the romantic garments of dreams.

I get to be the glittering princess of dreams like in the song by Pete Starsted for 4 hours a week….

Where do YOU go to my lovely?
