Last Call: Boardroom Bishes and Office Babes
By Grazia Horwitz | March 5, 2007
Today, Ginny and Lyra released what I personally think is their best since Last Call opened. Following the current executive trend in SL Ginny has given it a twist of her own and has released a totally classy, sexy, lavish collection of pants suits that will rock the office when you put them on.
This is Go To Girl and it’s my fave. I love the prim collar and cuffs and you should see the shading on the blouse, it’s one of the best I’ve ever seen. The belt has a gorgeous drawn buckle with turquoises on it and the cufflinks are tiny cameos. Small versions of the one on the necklace that is included in the outfit. BTW, for after hours, the top makes a gorgeous semi formal combined with a sleek long skirt. Lyra’s matching shoes, called Boardroom Bish are insane… the reptile print leather, the golden prim studs… it’s all just so perfect. I’m going totally bankrupt later when Lyra will have the fat pack put on for sale.
Next up is Boardroom Barracuda. I wear it in Nightsea… but it comes in 5 other gorgeous colours. This is a predator suit… ready for the toughest negotiations ever and come out as a winner…. these are the kind of suits that empower women and make them achieve their best. What struck me in this suit, besides the gorgeous colour combination, is the camisole that shows under the jacket. It’s all in one layer though, and that’s a pity. I love to mix and match and those possibilities are limited this way.
This is headhunter. Looking for that new executive? Seduce him to sign with your firm in this suit.. putty in your hands. It looks innocent in pastel colours but with the generous cleavage and the tight cut slacks this outfit is not to be underestimated… headhunter…. hmmm.. it could mean also that you want his head on a silver platter and dance around it… an ultimate triumph of womankind. The double belt is a wonderful detail on this suit that makes it hot and the prim scarf is really good. It looks quite natural.. not the stick out prim you see so often for a scarf.
Editorial is slightly more casual than the others. Cute pinstriped pants with a sheer blouse, offshoulder sweater and the hottest ever crocodile (notice a predator theme here?) corset that is also in the outfit as a single on the jacket layer, so you can play around with that. For editorial there is an extension pack available, that will give you enough colours to wear it all week and never look the same. This blouse also has prim cuffs and tiny gold buttons for that extra luxury effect. Did I mention I love the prim flares for these pants? They come in 2 versions, cuffed and normal… I think the cuffed version is genial. These pants look at their best with the prim flares on, but they are mod, so if you want to cut down on prim load… even if it’s just 2 (or 4 for the cuffed flares)… you can flare the pants with the sliders.
Last Call is located in : Dazzle 59, 65, 22

With barracuda I wear the low pumps from Opium Everyday (which I tinted in a very dark blue) and with Headhunter I wherea Sylfie Minogue’s Essential in Rosy Brown.

What, no comments? I’ve got Go To Girl and Bedroom Barracuda and a pair of the Bish shoes. The cleavage revealing jackets are more “creative fashion forward corporate” than say investment banker corporate I could imagine Vanessa Williams or Rebecca Romijin’s characters on “Ugly Betty” wearing these.
I wonder if Ginny will ever do a “cocktail suit” (with a skirt) with a similar jacket, that would rock. As would non-studded and slingback versions of the Bish shoes. :-)
