Date Night: A Formal Affair

The Anniversary Masque of Polaire Aeghin and Cezare Blanco was just the excuse I needed to invest in something I’ve coveted, oh, since the first time I ever saw it.

The EMPIRE FALLS gown and shoes from Digit Darkes is part of a magnificent collection by Digit Darkes, bringing a stylized French Court to modern fashion. I’ve eyeballed the various dresses in this collection as well as the hair and accoutrement FOR the hair forever.  Receiving the invitation to a Masque was just what I NEEDED!

Can I tell you that this skirt DANCES like a dream?  Billowing wispy skirt prims waving all around me with grace and frankly – they looked like floating gold as we danced around the sea of wildflowers.

My partner is my love in both lives, Silo Uriza who outfitted himself at 18th Century. We hopped over there based on a suggestion from someone in the Vain group. He transformed from his normal Mech AV into a gorgeous 18th Century Rake. Hats plus hair plus Masks can be hard to manage. He had to attach his mask to his chin, I believe, to make it all work.

Some beautiful examples of the motion of this skirt for you…

I chose the Coffee Lips of the GRACE Skin by PXL Creations.  I found a mask store simply because I put in MASQUE in SEARCH and found a store – MKS which has a ton of photosourced masks which look quite good.

I highly recommend a formal evening once in a while. It’s great fun to simply overdress because you can. And it’s a lovely way to spend a romantic evening with the one you love.  If you are lucky enough, he’ll even dress up too.
