I am getting married in about a week, and I have been wandering all over the grid looking for wedding dresses. I happened to land at Tres Jolie. This shop features gorgeous gowns made by a fun and honest lady, Iota Ultsch. She recently made this FABULOUS gown, and the title of it is even more fabulous! It is called: FLOCK YOU! And take a guess who “Flock You” is geared towards? Oh come on, you can’t figure it out?? The Lindens of course!

The feathered bodice is available in two styles, a modest version, or a daring version with a few missing feathers. The full skirt is made from hundreds of black feathers, and are positioned together in a very unique shape, with the feathers flowing at an angle. At $1500L, I think this is a STEAL to sick it to the Lindens, and look amazing at the same time! It is available in 9 colors. You must get one today!

There are also quite a few new releases at JCNY! I am sharing with you NY@NIGHT. This hot collection brings together the glitz and glamour inspired by New York City nights. Black acrylics and beautiful diamonds blend together like a planetarium show. NY@NIGHT fatpack features a show stopping diamond necklace, cocktail ring, earrings, and fashion cuff. All jewelry comes with new Hyper-Gems texture menus. Available as single jewelry items or get them all in the NY@NIGHT fatpack!

The SL Shakespeare Company Returns to Shakespeare with Twelfth Night—
In Their Usual Trademarked Extravagance…

The SL Shakespeare Company (SLSC) will perform a full ensemble performance of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night: Act 1 in a special short-run advance miniseason as part of their Fall Season 2008 repertoire. Opening on SLSC Thursday, November 13th (following a “sneak peek” on November 12th), the full-length Act 1 is the first part of the culmination of a summer’s worth of rehearsal-performances in SLSC’s tag-team staged reading series of Twelfth Night.

Maintaining the Company’s tradition of excellence in visual and theatrical extravagance, the miniproduction also introduces the usage of multiplerotating sets, incognito animation preloading, global lighting and weather control to SLSC stagecraft technologies. Live dynamic camera control by a director fine tunes the performance with a cinematic appeal, while international subtitles, the SLSC’s “Pay as you Will” philosophy, and the play’s location in the confluence of four island simulators of the SL Globe Theatre make the performance accessible to as many as possible.

Directed by Ina Centaur and Voice Directed by Enniv Zarf, the production stars MadameThespian Underhill, Joff Fassnacht, Prospero Frobozz, Ludo Merit, Maedin Tureaud, and Lorne Harlequin, and also a motley cast of “silent actors” who create a different variation of a background crowd each time.

Miniseason schedule (All times SLT or GMT-8):
Wednesday, Nov 12 – 11 am “sneak peek”
Thursday, Nov 13 -  high noon
Friday, Nov 14 – 1 PM
Saturday, Nov 15 – 2 pm – (ticketed)*
Sunday – no show
Monday, Nov 17 – high noon
* Most of our shows at the SL Globe Theatre are free, but VIP/ticketed shows charge a nominal admissions fee of L$500. The smaller audience may entice.

GLANCE presents… the Divine Show!, 5pm http://slurl.com/secondlife/Odessa%20Luxurious/83/236/23

I came across this store, Lemania Indigo Designs, while doing the grid wide pumpkin hunt. My friends and I searched high and low for over an hour, but never found those pumpkins! But boy did we find some dresses! Great styles and really fun names to go with. I bought a couple that caught my eye, then decided this gal really needed a review. I contacted Lemania about this, and also mentioned the missing pumpkins…oops! She took them down a day early! Poor absent minded thing! She was so friendly and very nice to talk to. She added those pumpkins back and then handed me some gorgeous dresses to share with you all. I hope you enjoy as much as I do!I pretty much chose the same look for all of these pictures, and that includes MMS New York Fair 5b, Detour Nails – Lacquer – Berry, ETD Beaded Earrings -Black, ETD Resilient hair – Elika’s Brown, JCNY – Calla Lily Ring and JCNY Avalon Ring. Any other changes in accessories are noted.

In picture one, we have the 1920’s Hand Beaded Orchid which is a two piece stunner. A beautiful asymmetrical sleeveless top featuring hand beaded crystals comes with a matching, knee length, flowing skirt. I am also wearing Uzuri Atmosphere Necklace – monochrome, and BS Scarpin Roxo shoes. The next dress you see is Audrey Hepburn. This gown comes in either a long sleeve version, with soft frilly cuffs or, a sleeveless top. The skirt is a sheer black tulle, and you can see the calf length leggings peeking out from underneath. I choose BS Gray Scarpin shoes to go with. The final dress here is Beaded Butterfly Art Deco
This is another gorgeous beaded dress. A graceful, colorful butterfly adorns your chest, as a drapey, scalloped skirt dances around your knees. I thought ETD Starley Pumps Cerulean went nicely with this one.

In this second picture I have on The Summer Garden Party. This is a cute cocktail dress with a rich, bronze, silk, strapless bodice. The skirt is a full & flirty pink and bronze lace mix. My jewelry for this dress is Balderdash Whiskey and Sunlight Necklace, and the shoes are BS Bronze Escuro. Next is Voodoo. This dress has a rich, sultry feel to it. Deep dark colors are accented by a nice ethnic belt and a huge scarf flowing around the shoulders. The ankle length skirt shows off the cute black pumps that come with this dress. The bronze sparkling bracelets are also included with this design. Finally is Winter Peacock. A stunning gown made from a dark colored peacock brocade, it features a brilliant blue fur stole with a large gold bead clasp. Deep blue pumps come with and complete this ensamble.

Seen in world? Yes. Review copies? Some. Friends list? No.
