Skinkie-Style :: Ooo La La

Monday, June 2nd, 2008

Fresh off the boat from two weeks sunning myself by the pool in France I’m in the mood for elegance, romance and a little “je ne sais quoi” *wink*. Courtesy of the Laughing Academy, I have found a gown that fits the bill perfectly, and an equally perfect setting is found at the [...]

Halloween Enchantress

Saturday, December 29th, 2007

Another post from my vault of unfinished drafts. Unfortunately, the Halloween Enchantress is no longer for sale as it was a limited edition creation, just until Halloween of 2007. But hopefully it will be back again for 2008 in some incarnation. (In 2006 Starley released the Queen of Halloween costume.)
This year was a collaboration between [...]

The Virgin Queen

Sunday, November 25th, 2007

Sometimes it is just great to indulge yourself with some historically correct costumes. Especially when they are as detailed and well done like these. Adam & Eve have been inspired by the soon to be released movie about queen Elizabeth I who became queen of a bankrupt country when she was only 25 and managed to [...]

Queen of Hearts

Sunday, October 28th, 2007

When Ms Delacroix shouted “Off with her head” over her subcribe-o-matic, first thing I had to think of was Toast Bard’s hilarious Head Off skin with all details taken care off. The slashed neck prim works well with any skin though. Really, I’ve tried. Happy Halloween! Anyways, The Queen wants to be revered at The [...]

Catching up with Bare Rose

Wednesday, July 18th, 2007

June Dion’s Bare Rose brand has long been known as a place to find stunning detail in an outfit and still expect to pay at or under L$200 for each outfit. I have to confess that I don’t especially enjoy shopping at Bare Rose — it might just be the least organized shop in [...]

Dark Eden’s Erebus Armor

Wednesday, May 16th, 2007

I’ve been wearing this around in world for the past few days and not surprisingly garnering a lot of positive and surprised comments. The main focus of course is the amazing prim work that comes from the Erebus Armor set created by Etain Peregrine. It was my own idea to add the Sweet [...]

Let them eat cake

Monday, April 23rd, 2007

Although the Hair Fair is over, one of the most exciting designs I saw was by Leetah Moxie of the fabulously named Curl Up and Dye hair design palace. I was tipped to the Antoinette hair by Iris Ophelia — who has some incredibly fun photos featuring this hair on her flickr stream here.
But [...]

Believe it or not, I’m walking on air

Monday, April 23rd, 2007

One of the most fun and appealing things about Second Life is that you can represent your online persona as nearly anything you can imagine — from mermaid to superhero.
Since some of my earliest childhood television memories are of the Greatest American Hero show — especially the theme song Believe It or Not [...]

Pandora’s Box of Gooooodies

Friday, March 23rd, 2007

Okay, so I lied. I said I didn’t wear hats in Second Life, and then I turn around and buy this outfit. But I must admit…I do not regret breaking my word. Not for this gem of a headpiece.
Nymphetamine Boutique is what I would consider high class Gothic wear…many of the clothing [...]

This is Sparta!

Monday, March 19th, 2007

Timed almost perfectly with Grazia’s post, I decided I wanted to play around with the male and female freebie costumes that are available on the Silverscreen sim.
As Grazia noted, there’s a costume for men and one for the women — both of them are really cool. Because I wanted to spend the rest [...]

Custom Avatars for 300

Monday, March 19th, 2007

No… that’s not the price in L$ that you pay for a custom made avatar. 300 is the title of a new movie by Zack Snyder based upon an epic graphic novel by Frank Miller about the battle of Thermopylae, starring Gerard Butler, Lena Headey and Rodrigo Santoro.
Yours truly was invited to the [...]

Victorian Beauty

Friday, January 12th, 2007

Those of you who are regular guests at Calendon will probably know her, but I’ve discovered only yesterday a fabulous designer who has been active in SL for quite some time now. I was dancing at my regular bar and saw a friend in one of the most fabulous formals I’ve ever seen…. beautiful caramel [...]
