IF TEAM USA WINS – I GET THE HEART OF ADAM ANT!

June 12th, 2010 2:25 pm by Gidge Uriza

posted by Gidge Uriza

Reasonable Desires has WORLD CUP FAN outfits out at their mainstore location for 1L a piece. I just had to break out this TEAM USA outfit that my friend Austie dropped on me in honor of a wager I have going with Prad Prathivi!

I’ve offered up some genuine Georgia Praline Pecans if  England kicks the ass of  Team USA. I’ve suggested he bring me the heart of Adam Ant if we win. But I also said I’d accept some candy instead.

I don’t particularly think that Team USA is going to win. But Europeans nearly stroke the fuck out if you even SUGGEST Team USA might beat them, so it’d good times all around in my world. I mean, they don’t care if we beat other teams from the Americas -but BY GOD WE ARE NOT BEATING ANY EUROPEAN TEAMS. You guys can admit that I’m ...

Red

June 11th, 2010 5:50 am by Cajsa Lilliehook

I remember consulting with image experts for a new branding campaign for an organization several years ago. Our logo and materials were all red and white and the consultants wanted us to add blue. I wanted to avoid using exploitative associations with the flag to attract support. The consultants explained that red, white and blue ad campaign color really had nothing to do with the flag, but with trying to draw both genders. Women are drawn to red and men to blue and it’s likely that our membership was 65% women was due as much to our color choices as our program. Well, that’s not true, there is a gender gap on social and economic policy, but adding blue did result in increasing the percentage of men in the organization to around 40%. I think that’s just wild that a color could do that, but I have to acknowledge that ...

The Wheat! The Wheat!

June 10th, 2010 12:53 pm by Cajsa Lilliehook

Long ago and far away I read a book  called The Octopus by Frank Norris – a story of the exploitation of the wheat growers of California. It’s central truths, though, were as applicable to the farmers of the Midwest that I knew and their history that lead to the creation of the Grange and the Farmers Union – so I have a soft spot in my heart for that book, even though it is not very well written. One of the most memorable things about the book for me were the occasional bits of expository meanderings that began “The Wheat! The Wheat!” I saw those four words and knew it was here-we-go-again time.  “The Wheat! The Wheat!” has forever been able to send me into a fit of giggles ever since. So, of course, this post featuring the lovey butterdish sim and this glorious combine has that phrase running ...

Commentary with a Dash of Glitter

June 10th, 2010 8:49 am by Cajsa Lilliehook

Callie Cline released a cotton-candy sweet confection called the little glitter dress. Perfect name. It’s little, especially in length and it glitters with all the soft pastels of spring. I adore the dress and thought it was perfect for the softly romantic new Chloe skin from Exile.

The shoes are from Kookie – a fun pair of wedges that I have found irresistible lately.

I don’t know about you, but when my dress is that short, I have to wear tights. I chose one of my favorite pairs and now I have to apologize because they are no longer for sale. These are the G.L.A.M. Metallic Lycra Tintable Tights. They come in three shades of silvery gray that allow me to tint them to the color and shade I want. There are alternatives at many stores and you can search for tintable tights, but for me. I love these. Love, ...

Dreamy

June 8th, 2010 3:20 am by Cajsa Lilliehook

Sometimes an outfit is just dreamy with soft, gentle colors – all flowing and romantic. That’s the case with this one, though the dreaminess begins with the stunning hair from BOON. The new XFE275 hair from BOON is an amazing confection that I like think came out of dreams – nice, misty dreams or roses and romance.

The Mirage dress from SwanSong combines a corseted bodice with a full multi-layered skirt that makes me think of ballerinas and dancing on clouds. The back of the dress laces up as you can see in the first photo.

I added the Nishar leggings from Zaara (50% off sale at Zaara this week) as I loved the way the cherry blossoms up the leg connected the shoes to the dress so beautifully. The shoes are new wedges from Kookie and I am loving them.

The jewelry is from Illusions – an old set I have had for about two years, but still lovely as ever.  The makeup is Brooke from 5th & Oxford – a very romantic and gentle skin with the softness I wanted for such a dreamy outfit.

Now, I don’t usually edit the photos much in photoshop beyond cropping and adjusting levels to get the light right – but this was such a dream outfit I could not resist using the one really fancy filter I have called Dreamy Photo – it’s a free filter that you can download from AutoFX – and that link goes right to the filter so you can see what it does and download it if you like. The filter’s present makes the photos too blurry so I dialed it back from 70% to 20% on the blending to make it less blurry – but still dreamy enough.

Funny Girl

June 7th, 2010 10:15 pm by Beulah Mills

Most of us own these Funny Girl flats from Periquita, if you are one of the few that don’t, you should. For those who bought them when they first came out, go to your inventory and delete the fat pack, you heard me right, DELETE THE FAT PACK. Then get yourself back over to Periquita and buy them again. No I haven’t lost my mind, the new and improved Funny Girl flats are in colour change and for 400L you get all the colours shown. Colour change stuff always work out cheaper but this is so cheap its just stupid.

It All Began With the Necklace

June 7th, 2010 8:27 am by Cajsa Lilliehook

Flachra Lach of Essentia sent me a this incredibly delicate and beautiful necklace and earrings with an announcement that there was a 50% off sale at Essentia through June 7th. I haven’t had a chance to get the picture up until today which means you have one more shopping day at 50% off. When I saw the necklace I knew I really wanted to show it – and so began to build a look for it. My first impulse was something Southwest with the feeling of Taos and deserts and all that, but I quickly decided that was too obvious and started wandering around my inventory folder. It was a fun exploration that helped me clean up a bit of the inventory, too. In the end, though I abandoned Taos for India and indulged in a lot of casual Zaara which is really timely because there’s a 50% off sale at Zaara as well.

I put on the Zaara Isis blouse in white – a gorgeous and flexible blouse that allows you to wear it tucked or untucked. I then thought I would find some nice wide-legged pants or palazzo pants for a super casual patio look, but these Satin Pants from Lelutka caught my eye. With the tight buttoned cuff below the wide legs, they remind me a bit of the uniforms from the Raj. I then added a jacket from Zaara and as soon as I put it on, I changed the blouse from white to lilac to tie everything together better.

That meant I just had to pop over to Zaara to pick up her new shoes. They are scripted to allow you to change the colors across the top so you can really have fun with your outfits. With the teal bottoms, I chose the purple tops to tie the entire outfit together with one item.

Colorful eye makeup from Lelutka and the softly casual updo from Detour complete the look. Here you can see exactly how delicate and intricate the earrings are with the finely made golden feathers.

Mènage á Trois

June 6th, 2010 6:35 am by Cajsa Lilliehook

Well, don’t tell their spouses and partners, but I think that Saschi Vixen of Adam n Eve, Sissy Pessoa of Baiastice and Chance Greatrex of DARE must have had at least a mental mènage á trois because their creations work together so perfectly. When I saw the Adam n Eve Chrome skin I immediately thought of Baiastice more avant designs with a futuristic edge. Putting them together, I knew I wanted a different aesthetic for the poses than the usual and pulled out DARE’s magnificent homage to the art of Robert Longo. I love what the three create together in the pictures I shot at Omega Point. I shot most of the poses in the set if you care to click through to see the rest.

I wanted strong, editorial shoes as well so I chose the Gos Dare Booties with color scripted toes. Yes, you can color your toes chrome, it just takes a few tries. It was easier than I expected thanks to the several preset tones including a white/near white tone.

Baiastice’s Luna outfit combines futuristic form with very traditional fabrics. The corset top would as easily suit a saloon girl in the 1890 as this chroma-girl of the 2890s. The rich brocade prints are equally vintage in design, but they are cut, shaped and fitted into a completely futuristic form in the pants and jacket.

The Chrome skin from Adam n Eve is beautifully contoured to highlight every movement which lends itself delightfully to the unusual shapes and movement of the Robert Longo poses from DARE. I love how the sheen accentuates the poses.

A melange of silver jewelry from Rozoregalia, +plus, U&R Dogs and Kraftika blend into a powerful addition to the outfit.I really wanted strong jewelry so doubled up, for example, with the Rozoregalia Hydra Handring and the DeLa bangle on this hand – and U&R Dogs Rings and a +plus bangle on the other.

The small details matter, too, so I hopped over to Poetic Colors to find eyes that would work with my idea. The Fairytale eyes don’t have the normal whites of the eyes so they seemed the perfect choice – especially as they are half off this weekend. The lashes are from MiaMai – No Alpha No 4 and have lovely little gems set into the lashes.  The hair is from Tami McCoy – a soft style with a strong schock of white. By the way, since we are zoomed this close, take a look at the marvelous detail in the shoulder fabric. Beautiful!

Wearing a Cloud

June 5th, 2010 4:43 am by Cajsa Lilliehook

The Petal Dress from Modern Gypsy is such a delicate color and billows so softly around the body that wearing it, I felt like I was wearing a cloud. It’s a cloud with a more solid satin inner cloud and a diaphounous, soft and sheer outer cloud, but it’s a cloud.

I wore the lovely DeLa Stella sandals with the huge floppy bow. The only proper attire while wearing clouds is shoes with bows.

Of course, if you wear a cloud you need delicately made jewelry like this set from La Forgia which is unironically named Delicate.

The hair is from 0 Style and the skin from Tuli – the marvelous Tuli skin with makeup suited for a cloud.

A Day In The Life of a Very Spoiled Kitty

June 4th, 2010 2:13 pm by Gidge Uriza

posted by Gidge Uriza

Yaaaaawn Stretch. Hiyas everyone. You all have Callie Cline to blame for my transformation into the most spoiled kitty on The Grid. I just went over to buy a couple of dresses, but there it was, the tail by Psychotic Neko for Callie Cline and the diamond Nekoture ears…….and I was hooked. Come on, how could I not love something THIS girly?

I thought I’d torture you and make you follow the glammiest, prissiest kitty ever around for a day. There are even two SUPER SPECIAL GUEST STARS in today’s post, but you gotta WAIT for them!

To start our kitty day, we need a bath. NO, we are not afraid of water. As long as the water comes from a fancy roman bath…….quit staring, you bum lookers.

After that I’m ready to start my day. I’m a fairly lazy kitty, but I like a bit of outdoorsy fun,so I head off to play some tennis.

Yes I always play wearing all my jewels. Don’t you? After I got all sweaty and gross playing tennis I headed off to the day spa to relax and get beautiful. And after a massage and a style I felt much better.

I felt so good, as a matter of fact, that I decided I should go have a nap on the beach at Artilleri.

I’m a cat, I sleep a lot, what do you want from me? After I napped for a while I decided that it wasn’t a proper day out on the grid without some dancing, so I popped into a random place and danced with strangers.

While dancing with random peoples who weren’t as pretty or as prissy as me, I realized that I actually knew someone who owned a club, and I really ought to patronize his place, especially since he just built this NEW club. But when I got there, I was too tired to dance, so I laid out by his pool instead.

When I’d had my fill of sunbathing and lounging, I decided I was hungry so I rang up my friend Clio and we headed to the sushi bar.

We stuffed ourselves on the most giant sashimi you have ever seen. I highly recommend this place. And the sushi vendor was extremely well skilled…..for a hair designer named Kavar :P . He must be moonlighting………..

Random Pic of me and Clio.No,my hand didn't vanish into my thigh.You are imagining that.

After dining on delicious sushi I headed over to our friend QXI’s gallery THE HOUSE OF QXI to enjoy some of her erotic art. Pervy, eh?

After SUCH a busy day, it was great to get back to our place, mainland or no, and just chill out with Silo.

And now come to think of it, I believe you’ll have to excuse us if you don’t mind. Please enjoy the style notes while we have some private time, okay?

Sweet Lovely Cute

June 4th, 2010 7:53 am by Cajsa Lilliehook

Sweet Lovely Cute is the name of a pose store that Gogo introduced me to the other day. The poses are adorable, making it a very well-named store. However, I think the name suits this dress from Modern Gypsy equally well. I love floral prints for summer – they make me happy.

What could be more fun with a floral print than a pair of shoes with a big flower? These Bubbles Bizarre shoes from Baiastice are a fun choice.

The necklace is a group gift from Happy Mood from when they first opened. I added the wind chime earrings from Bliensen & MaiTai.

A soft spring color makeup from Baiastice and a casual updo from Clawtooth complete the outfit.

I Feel Dotty, Oh So Dotty

June 3rd, 2010 7:00 am by Cajsa Lilliehook

I feel dotty, oh so dotty
I feel dotty and witty and bright!
And I pity
Any girl who isn’t me tonight!

Well, it’s not a perfect fit for the I Feel Pretty lyrics, but this Princess Dotty dress from Modern Gypsy is definitely dotty, witty and bright, so why not? It’s certainly a fun way of looking at it.

Sticking with the fun theme, there’s the fun and witty and bright Studded Wedge Sandals from J’s. Particularly fun was my efforts to adjust the skin tone as I have become so used to shoes with the entire foot adjustable, I was so proud of my matching job until I realized that that’s actually my foot and it’s only the toes that are adjusted. Luckily, they matched as well.

Another fun element to this outfit are the Pretty Hands from Page 3. A prim nail set with color control hud ...

It’s All About the Pants

June 2nd, 2010 5:00 am by Cajsa Lilliehook

This outfit is all about the pants – even though with the high boots you only see a bit of them, that bit is enough because these are Pants of Power.  Well, actually, I just made that part up. Still the new Graphic Skinny Pants from Modern Gypsy are cool enough and simultaneously hot enough to turn heads 360 degrees – so that makes them  Pants of Power in my book.

Pants of power must be handled with care, so to reduce your exposure I wore a long tunic from Ce Cubic Effect and the shortest of J’s ThighHigh Boots. This kept exposure to a minimum to make sure no one’s pacemakers were damaged or some such.

After restraining myself so much with the pants – I went all out on the jewelry side with the YinYang Suri set from Ganked. I added one bracelet from Zaara instead of wearing ...

Dark Hearts

June 1st, 2010 4:14 am by Cajsa Lilliehook

House of Dashwood has produced a couple amazing dresses inspired by Alice in Wonderland – and my favorite was the Dark Hearts dress that is perfect for any Queen of Hearts with an edge.

I indulged the Queen’s wild side with the new Bare Fay fetish pumps from Stiletto Moody – with a wild zebra skin with a black and white texture that winks while echoing the black and white stripes of the sheer overskirt fabric.

Assorted pieces of onyx and silver jewelry from Zaara and a lovely updo from Clawtooth complement the wickedly regal look.

The smokey eyes and pale lips from this Keirak makeup option from Dutch Touch completes the look dramatically.

Anyone who has read this blog for any amount of time knows that I am FROM Indianapolis and that as far as I’m concerned the only reason the month of May exists is so that cars can scream around the Speedway for my pleasure.

I dug into my closet and came out with this excellent Seaside Sweetie set from 5th and Oxford to wear today to celebrate my favorite racing event. You gotta wear black and white, there are rules – especially if you are going to any sort of GOOD party. Plus, you may not know this, but the good people of Indianapolis cannot SEE the race, which starts in 31 minutes AS I type this.

Nope – they are blacked out. Can’t watch until about 6pm or so tonight. Isn’t that lame?

A Baiastice Cocktail

May 30th, 2010 8:06 am by Cajsa Lilliehook

This little cocktail dress is not Baiastice Neat, but a lovely little Baiastice Cocktail mixing one part Baiastice with one part Malt. The skirt is Baiastice’s lovely taffetta stripe skirt and the top is from Malt’s Florentia dress – and add-on frill that some perfectly complements the skirt that it looks like they were made to be together – a perfect martini of an outfit, stirred not shaken. I prefer gin and you stir gin martinis and shake vodka martinis, unless you’re just copying James Bond without knowing why he wants his shaken. Bond’s a vodka martini man, the poser!

The Electric Blue Saffron Pumps from Lelutka are a great option – tying it all back to the blue at the top after the purple and black stripes at the bottom of the skirt.

The Florentia frill is the perfect blue, but even more it has purple highlights that make ...

If the Duck of Death Wore Baiastice….

May 29th, 2010 12:32 pm by Gidge Uriza

It is my opinion that the Cowboy Boots of Evil go with more things than I ever break them out for.  But when Baiastice celebrated it’s 3rd Anniversary and Sissy was gracious enough to offer awesome outfits at a discount to celebrate, I knew I needed boots with this one.

And what better boots than the most evil boots I own?

I had been looking for something to wear with my new hair from Fashionably Dead.  I like their hair. I can’t believe I never shopped there before, but thank PLURK I found another store that I have to like now.

So a belated Happy Birthday to Sissy and Baiastice – I already sent one up over on Freestyle but I’m all still stuck in the new baby fog and get more behind here on IOF than I should. Luckily Cajsa lets me live :P .

Blazin Hawt

May 29th, 2010 6:52 am by Cajsa Lilliehook

Lelutka has several new releases that are quite exciting and fully in the Lelutka tradition of à la page fashion. My favorite of the new releases is the Blazin dress made of layers of ruffled folds. The fabric texture is amazingly detailed and so real you want to touch it. I chose the peach version of the dress because it’s one of my favorite colors – a color that just always looks good. However, there are many colors, some soft like the peach and other electric colors like yellow and purple. I can imagine purchasing this dress in several colors and even mixing and matching, perhaps wearing the top tier in another color. [Update: You can see how well that can be done by taking a peek at Nina Fessbinder's combination of Blazin in yellow and purple.]

GidgeKitty – In Your Dreams…….

May 28th, 2010 6:07 am by Gidge Uriza

posted by Gidge Uriza

The lingerie from Reasonable Desires has been sitting on my bedroom floor, as my friends can attest, for quite a while. I just couldn’t decide what to do with it. I really liked it but wanted to do something different than my usual with it……….

and then it hit me. GIDGE KITTY!

I haven’t done much Neko ever so I dropped a notecard on my friend Sanura Snowpaw and said MAKE ME A KITTY and she obliged nicely.

I wanted to be a blonde glammy kitty. In lingerie. :P

Meow.

Style Notes:

Once Again I didn’t write down any fashion details……let’s see how good I am from memory………..consider this, I shot this more than two weeks ago. So , for every item that I can remember, that’s one item in my RL that I can’t freaking remember. Like how to retrieve my voice mail……..

My swimsuit folder has been bulging lately with some awesome new releases, so I thought I’d blog a few of them.  It was pretty fun scouring my inventory for accessories to go with these swimsuits, and I hope you enjoy what I found.

I heard that lonesome whistle blow

May 27th, 2010 8:40 am by Cajsa Lilliehook

I was wearing a farm fresh skirt and blouse from enchanty when I stopped by the farm at Surface. I was inpecting the grain elevator waiting for the train to come pick up the harvest.

There’s something melancholy about a railroad track passing by the fields.It reminds me of the old family farm and the railroad running by. During the Great Depression, hobos would stop at the farm for food. They did not know that my grandfather had lost great wealth when his bank collapsed. They didn’t know he voluntarily assumed personal responsibility for the corporate liability – though his other three partners did not. He sold his electric company, lumber mill and other factories in order to make whole every depositor in the bank. They didn’t know that at age 65, he was started over from nothing on a $1/acre work-to-own dairy contract so that every bit of milk ...

I’m Very Limber

May 27th, 2010 5:30 am by Gidge Uriza

posted by Gidge Uriza

A good friend of mine recently told me about the low lights of their day at work, which included someone describing the qualities of their shite over the phone.

This only amused me endlessly, because for 10 years I worked in a phone room in various capacities……and because we dealt with women’s fashion we often got some nutters calling in.

My favorite pervert caller, who called for years until caller ID technology was invented (OH YES IT WAS THAT LONG AGO)  because we started calling him BACK, was this dude who called himself Gary.

Gary wanted to talk about foundation garments.  And other tight fitting clothes. He wanted to know if they would pinch or be snug. He wanted to know WHERE they would pinch of be snug. He also wanted to know how strong and how limber you were.

We used to tell him that we could ...

Kåt on a hot tin roof

Hello. How’s your day going? I’ve had a slightly surreal morning, and I can’t quite put my finger on why. Different sky? Different air? Maybe it’s the Floridian summer heat creeping over everything and melting us into one vast undifferentiated mass. This is all to say that my SL avatar wants snow. Barring that, she’s dressed for summer in MichaMi’s new Kat outfit (are you sure it’s not Kåt, Mimi?). She’s also got on high-heeled sneaker thingies from Tesla for that sexy-geek look, and new Gos Cateye glasses too. Now to face the hot evening and melt into my beer…

I haven’t blogged fashion in quite a while, and I threw this simple look together, so I thought, “Why not blog it?”  I couldn’t find a good reason NOT to blog it, except for being lazy, of course, so here ya go!

Delicate

May 20th, 2010 10:26 am by Nina Fessbeinder

Delicate is how i feel today… The soft colors reflects directly in my mood, even though i am not feeling calm (soft colors helps to making people calm, right?). I wanted everything to be simple but elegant, the jewellry helped a lot to give it’s final touch. I know you must be tired of me blogging again this coco’s blouse, but i can’t help, it fits so many styles and for these ones in particular is perfect! *___*

Adoreable, realistic and simply wonderful – Boots by Hoorenbeek!!!

May 19th, 2010 9:00 am by wiccamerlin

Today I have the great pleasure to show you amazing boots from Hoorenbeek!

I rarely saw such detailed and realistic made boots and I really love them! I will start with the “Lucille” boots in coffee and tan/beige:

If you take a look at this amazing boots you will see that this took  great skills and time to make them. Every little part looks like through trough and made with such a love to the detail I rarely saw it before. For me it was unbelievable how realistic boots can be made. The arrangement of colors, the seams…simply perfect.

In every color you see all the lovely details. The eyelets of the strings in the same great metal texture then the buckles in the top of the boot shaft… you nearly think you just have to reach down and open the buckle…

Up next we have the “Siren” boots, ...

Accessorise Me

May 17th, 2010 7:51 am by faynekhandr

However much you spend on clothing, if you neglect your accessories you’ll always find your outfits a little lacking. I went all out for this look, showing off some of my inventory favourites which can always be used to glam up a styling.

The hat was a new purchase from Epoque’s Trilogy store. With it’s outrageously wide brim and neat silken band, who could resist, particularly when Glitterati are stocking some poses to work with it? There are 10 poses in the set which are all equally fabulous, tempting you to take more than a few pictures in your spangly new chapeau.

Whether you’re an A-list SLebrity or just emulating that diva style, the Butterfly shades from Gos are hot to trot whatever the season. These oversized sunnies are presumably named for the indent to the side of the frame, giving a very feminine wing-like shape. Lavishly scripted with texture ...

Not for all the Rhinestones in the World

May 17th, 2010 4:58 am by Cajsa Lilliehook

The textures in the different clothing in this outfit are actually much better than rhinestones. There’s such depth and interest whether it’s the marvelously made top from Maitreya’s Bubble Skirt dress, the intricately patterned skirt from MiaMai or the rhinestone-cowboy-kicking boots from Adam N Eve. I would not trade such depth and interesting textures for all the rhinestones in the world. Add the amazing jewelry from EarthStones and this is a texture-gasmic outfit.

I thought it deserved a great setting for at least one shot – and fortuitously, while I was getting dressed, Lizzie Lexington sent me a landmark to Minute Papillon, a lovely spot for photos. Best of all, you can rez poseballs for photos.  And doesn’t it look better for the glittering lights to be in the trees?

The skirt made me think of cowboys and rodeos with the marvelous embroidery and python insets. The belt is very ...
