Tuesday, October 31st, 2006I relish any time I am in world shortly after a designer announces a new release to his/her update group. That is because this is when a store’s most loyal customers run to shop. If the release is particularly hot, when you arrive to the store, nearly everyone around you will be wearing the new [...]
A happy hair day
Tuesday, October 31st, 2006I seem to be in a little of a hair fever these last few days and have added four new to my collection. Hair is such a difficult thing for me. There are many styles that I like, but that don’t work for me. Often because they are textured with strands that are too thin, [...]
Ditching 5th period in Luminosity
Tuesday, October 31st, 2006Oh those St. Solera girls don’t know what they’re in for. Once, they were the only school on the block. They were flaunting their good looks. Flipping their skirts up and driving all the boys crazy. But not content to let one girl’s school rule the grid, Sol Columbia returned to her Wacom tablet [...]
The personification of pretty things
Tuesday, October 31st, 2006I’ve been collecting some items over the last few days that can generally be described as delicate and pretty. All delicate and pretty. Qualities so hard to achieve. But sometimes it is all we want to be. The writing in this post is inspired by Kit Maitland. She released two “school girl” outfits the other [...]

Happy birthday DE Designs
Monday, October 30th, 2006DE Designs is turning 2 years old on November 6th, but you get Lacrymosa a week early! I know DoC Eldritch had originally intended to hold this design until Friday (November 3) and post a couple of progressive teaser ads throughout the week, but he IMed me this morning and said he was getting [...]

Welcome (back) Graphica
Monday, October 30th, 2006I saw a post on PXP by Canimal Zephyr talking about Graphica, a style magazine that had been published in the early days of Second Life. As Canimal notes, “We waited and waited for issue #2. It never came.” Now it is coming back: on November 3rd, Graphica is launching its second issue — [...]
Not slutty = No sales?
Sunday, October 29th, 2006The other day Ciera Bergman of Vitamin Ci wrote a provocative post on her blog, which got me (and at least one other person) thinking. Do Second Life designers have to sell sex in order to sell clothes? Ciera writes,
I remember when I first started Vitamin Ci…it was to cater to those people. The people [...]
Tete gets girly and glossy
Sunday, October 29th, 2006The word gamine describes a certain kind of girl, or at least a woman who has girl like qualities. She is a mischievous one, perhaps a tomboy, but definitely a girl who is up to more than meets the eye. It’s a woman who might have darkly-lined cat eyes and sexy, glossy lips. In other [...]
Sinta scintillates at Casa del Shai
Sunday, October 29th, 2006With the release of the Sinta Play Suits at Casa del Shai, Shai Delacroix reminds us of three things:
Just because it’s Autumn, doesn’t mean it’s cold outside.
Just because it’s plaid, doesn’t mean it has to be preppy.
Just because it’s a pants suit, doesn’t mean the pants have to come lower than your thigh.
This suit ia [...]
Paper Couture puts the C in couture
Saturday, October 28th, 2006Sigh. After weeks and weeks of reading the House of Lu blog, I missed the opening of Paper Couture for Fall ‘06. I love it when designers realize that our relationship with a brand is fed by many things, including quirky tales of fictional paeoti mishaps written on a company blog.
Sadly, I have yet to [...]
