Friday, June 23rd, 2006Okay, I’m going to shamely say that this is my FIRST flexi prim item I have. How pathetic am I? What makes me even more pathetic is that fact that I can’t stop watching myself twill and whrill around in this gorgeous dress. Blaze did a beautiful job texturing the prim skirt. That with the [...]
On holiday
Friday, June 23rd, 2006I’m going on vacation for the next 10 days — I will be roaming the beautiful color palette of New Mexico from lush mountain pine forest to high desert mesa. The trip starts in the Southern Rockies and ends in Santa Fe for the opening night performance of Carmen at the Sante Fe Opera.
While I’m [...]

Clara Bow at Rebel Hope
Friday, June 23rd, 2006Who is Clara Bow?
Bow was widely recognized as an archetypal flapper and the original “It girl”.
Thanks Wikipedia! Seriously, though, what an incredibly cool period re-creation and quite an homage to America’s original sex symbol.
So much great detail in this design. The sheen and shine of the fabric make it come to sparkling life, and I [...]
Sobriety at WRONG
Friday, June 23rd, 2006When was I out and about on the grid Wednesday night, I wore a few different different outfits. The two most “Where did you get that?” (WDYGT - pronounced “widget”) were Sobriety by WRONG, and Ginny Talamasca’s Serendipity.
Sobriety came from Kaysha Sion, and what an incredibly versatile set of casuals. First up is a set [...]
Two more Relay For Life goodies
Thursday, June 22nd, 2006I had a really interesting chat with Kala Bijoux and Tuli Asturias last night about their new RFL outfit. (I found out — surprise! — that Tuli had completely remodeled her main store. Very nice! I really need to get out on the grid more… Hehe.) Here is a beautifully executed collaboration between Material Squrriel [...]

This is a really lovely, thin and elegant looking set featuring long thin teardrop style color splashes and some very delicate, very fine prim work. Each set includes the necklace and a pair of [...]
Diary of Digital Dressmaker
Thursday, June 22nd, 2006Torley Linden was kind enough to leave a comment that Second Style magazine and this blog (and Linden Lifestyles and PXP) are linked on a special Second Life landing page surrounding the virtual fashion industry.
There’s a really cool super high resolution PDF file by Ginny Talamasca that talks about why she finds value in creating [...]
Everyone is out to get your Lindens
Thursday, June 22nd, 2006This is a “Why didn’t I think of that?” moment! Myst Panther has set up a really great consumer protection blog named Caveat Emptor which aims to document scams and scammers who operate in Second Life.
I like it so much I’ve put a permalink to its RSS feed on my sidebar. There’s also an [...]

Basement jeans and funkeh tats from artilleri
Wednesday, June 21st, 2006Antie Marat has a couple of tasty new releases today. First, Basement Jeans, and next, a set of cool tats, which may or may not be inspired by Antie’s basement.
The jeans are super weathered and have lots of character — patches, color washes, and little rips there and here and a painted on thin [...]

[I] put a lot of time and thought into the detail-work on this one. a wonderful friend told me that my designs are simple but it’s the textures that make them so special.
Yes!
Etincelle took my breath away when I saw it in my inbox this morning. It comes in six colors, but this gold [...]
