The Best Damn Pants

Wow! I have found the best damn pants and it was such a surprise, too. I was at Studio Sidhe to pick up that arch pose I used for the photo at the Chinese Garden and thought I would wander over to see if she had some new jewelry and turned a corner and came face to face with these amazing pants – linen pants, but linen pants that look like linen…and have the linen lines and nubbiness at the right scale. They are extraordinarily well done and if you need to see more closely click the photo for a larger size picture where you can clearly see the texture. I kid you not. The best damn pants.

B-Girls

No, we’re not going to start popping and locking and dancing hip hop. The B is in reference to Blowpop and Baiastice – two of our fashion addictions. Both Gidge and I are wearing blowpop skins and then new Group gift from Baiastice – a gold, silver and white short cocktail dress that we each mashed up in different directions.

It’s E! For Excellent

This photo is from one of my favorite places in Portland, the wonderful Chinese Garden in Old Town. It’s only a city block, but it takes you out of the city. It reminds me of a sim in its discrete containment of such rich beauty in the heart of one of Portland’s grittier neighborhoods. For my visit, I wore some fab items from E! – the exclamation point is theirs but they deserve it.

Chocolate Covered Secrets

Life is sweet at Cafe Gourmand.

Gidge and I were hanging out at Crimson Rezzable the other night. We had popped over to check out the Lucky Chair and noticed there was a flag hunt going on – continues through Sunday – and then just chatting while waiting for things to rez. All of a sudden I spied with my little eye this dress from lurvebite that had me squeeing with glee. It looks like Chocolate Covered Cherries. I nearly danced the dress please me so. Clearly I had to get it. Then I thought it would be fun to shoot it with some of the luscious pastries from Cafe Gourmand, our friend Cezare Blanco’s new store. I  tp’ed him over to the blogging headquarters to rez me some pastries.  He arranged them artfully and even included the magnificent cake he made for for Polaire and his wedding. After shooting this snap I had to log off to eat.

Miffy is perpetually secretly putting out new dresses and not telling me.

I spied these on the wall and thought they were SUPER cute for July 4 weekend celebrations ! It’s also available in black, but WHAT is patriotic about that?

Sister Moon, Will Be My Guide

In Your Blue Blue Shadows, I would Hide

All Good People are asleep Tonight

I’m all by myself in your silver light

I would gaze at your face, the whole night through.

I’d go out of my mind but for you.

All my love to everyone I’ve loved who wore the bandana, and all those who wear it now. Our hearts are with you, now, as always.

Bandana Day With the Sexiest Swimsuit in Second Life

So reading the newest issue of Sxy2nd I see that readers voted and chose a swimsuit from JustB as the Sexiest Swimsuit in Second Life. I definitely had to check that out. The suit in the photo was white, but I chose the red for my bandana day outfit because, hey, it’s the 4th of July tomorrow.  You are not seeing the sexiest option, that is after the cut and still discreetly photographed…you know me. I had some running around to do, so I covered up a bit with some other super sexy clothes from Exodi.

If you were paying attention last week, you would have popped over to Exodi for the 50% off sale in which 100% of proceeds were to be donated to Make A Wish Foundation in Michael Jackson’s memory. The total raised was 812.99  which is very exciting. While the sale was on, I ran over and picked up just about all the tops she has.

Jolie Ensemble is Perfect for the 4th Too!

The blue with gold OR silver detailing Jolie ensemble is perfect if you want to salute the July 4th Holiday with a more conservative style. This piece by Kalli Heart Designs is a review bloggers dream – includes earrings and bracelets which are NICE plus LAYERS LAYERS LAYERS.

Did I mention LAYERS? Plus the shirt/jacket/undershirt layer comes in opaque OR sheer And you can layer up the sheer version for a “less sheer” look that is still smexy. I’m wearing two layers of sheer in the pic below.

The sheer option on the shirt - Blue with GOLD detail

I’ve also got the blue version with SILVER detail to show you.

I Went to Wretched Hollow

I read in New World Notes that Wretched Hollow was one of the most popular sims on Koin-Up last week, so I popped over to see why. Well, it’s bucolic with a dash of the mystical. It even has a glass conservatory. What’s not to photograph. Since it was such a romantic scene, I decided to shoot this romantic flowered dress from sonatta morales. I made it slightly more romantic than the original intent by editing the texture just a tiny bit – making the skirt semi-sheer instead of opaque.

Americana

Posted by Gidge Uriza

Ok, I lied. I’ve got some red white and blue. But it’s cute. And for the next 48 hours you’re gonna see it. I promise you no whacky hats or nutty hairs.

Well, I mostly promise.

Americana from GYPSY SOUL is a great dress for those of you feeling patriotic but not in that “I WILL WEAR AN UNCLE SAM HAT WHILE SINGING ALONG TO STARS AND STRIPES FOREVER” sort of mood.

Cuz, that sound doesn’t actually have words.
