Happy New Year!

By Celebrity Trollop | December 31, 2007

Looking for a way to ring in New Years in Second Life? Head on over to the black tie Café Society’s Charity Auction and Gala Ball. The auction to benefit “Make a Wish Foundation” includes lots created by Caliah Lyon, Queue Marlowe, Betty Barracuda, Sparkle Skye and many more generous donors. The party starts at 8 pm SLT on Masterpiece Island (218, 189, 53) and features a live DJ spinning tunes and a firework show to really ring in the new year.

If you’re looking for something new or different to suit that black tie dress code, why not check out the gowns at Scandal by ShyOne Lehane and Kiana Dulce? The dress called “Crimson” shown to the right would be a perfectly colorful way to send off 2007 and start 2008. The silver detailing on the bodice is really outstanding and the prims in the skirt add a really opulent, slightly translucent finish to this design. I’m also showing off the Eolande Elverhjem’s — Ohana Isle (204, 55, 21) — brand new Docsisle Fleur de Lis designs in the necklace, earrings and hairpin. Marvelous!

The chic way to show skin this holiday season is the exposed back which is everywhere in fashion glossies. The gown to the right is named Gold Rush and it has a super sexy back scoop and a really dramatic ruched bust in the front. The primwork is not my absolute favorite, but the outstanding bodice more than makes up for it in my opinion. If you’d prefer a more “conventional” formal look, try on the “Winter Wonderland” in crisp snowy white (shown right), which shares some of the same silver accent details with Crimson shown above.
