New Retro Lovelies at Bossa Nova
By Jaydei Benmergui | March 25, 2007
Winter officially took its leave of us last week. In comes Spring, the time for rebirth and romance. The time for wedding venues in the RL and SL grids to become overbooked. The time to look around your home, sigh, and start that lovely Spring Cleaning ritual…and if you live where I do, turn on your air conditioning, because it’s already too hot. And, most importantly (I don’t need no stinkin’ clean house!), the time to pull out those skimpy sundresses and leg-baring babydolls, attract the poor unsuspecting mate of our dreams, lure them into our lairs and eat them. The best time of year!
Ok, heh…well more than likely you’re not planning on eating your mate. After all, you have to keep somebody around to compliment your fabulous bod and wonderful taste in clothing! And in these new releases from Bossa Nova, compliment they will…if they know what’s good for them.
The first dress I’m showing is called Joana, and is a charming sundress with polka dots along the bustline, a solid colored skirt and a prim bow. This is certainly a romantic piece, with very feminine touches. Available in five different color variations.
All of the hairs that I’m displaying are from Calla’s new releases. I love love love their styles, and was thrilled to receive review copies from Tigerlily a few days ago. This hair is called “Honeysuckle”. The skin is by PanJen.
Celebrity had mentioned in her post about Nomine’s new skins that the second skins she had bought in Second Life came from Nomine. It made me laugh, because my very first skins came from there. So, in keeping with the retro feel of the clothing, I decided to show you all my first Nomine skins (though not the same shape…thank goodness!) Enter, Noob Jaydei in rockin’ new clothes:
The dress on the left is called Leia. The top is a wild party of differently sized dots , and drops down into a babydoll skirt, where the bottom is trimmed with, you guessed it, more dots. It’s very original and a teensy bit quirky. Available in four different color variations. (Hair: “Sweet Violet” by Calla)
The second freebie in her “Copa” collection is displayed on the right. A very alluring dress, it shares the wavy black pattern of the bikini set (also a freebie) that Moire uses for this line, emulating the pattern of the Copacabana boardwalk in Brazil. There’s a prim bow attached to the back, so you have a bit more sway to the dress when you’re performing your acts of seduction to the mate of your choice…or if you want to turn heads at your next summer party. (Hair: “Daphne” by Calla)
If you dig this style, the Mariana dress is also available. It’s the same style of dress, but with a striped pattern and 3 color variations.
These dresses can be found at Bossa Nova.

I love Calla hair, it’s so classy. The last one, specially, has a lovely fifties/glamour aura, I already got mine ^_^
