Poetry in motion

First of all I have an apology to make Morgane kindly gave me this gorgeous series of poses to blog, but with my RL health being shaken I have been very late in posting them despite my plans to get them out promptly.

Then I have to say WOW Morgane these poses are seriously beautiful. They give me a whole new respect for the strength and grace of dancers. This series of 4 poses for a couple are so well created , no awkward head angles or dislocated limbs that make you shake your head and say ” never in real life”. These poses are elegant, complex and sexy, pure poetry in motion.

Dancing in the moonlight

Slipping into Carries VIP section to make the most of the wonderful discounts there.. my eyes hit upon the sexy new release of Malorie. This has been in store before in different colours but this black body with contrasting strip of colour to accent the detailed neckline.. I had to buy one immediately. Then I realised that the current VIP gift would complement it beautifully.

Malorie comprises of a high cut bodysuit ( in several layer options ) plus stockings and the LTA. The other items shown above, the mesh red skirt, lacy gloves , silks on arms, and the makeup were all part of the VIP gift. A great reason to join up this month if you haven’t already.

Other details;  Skin is Zara , India by Glam Affair,Eyes, Hazel by Ikon, Hairstyle from Emo-tions ( I hear a rumour a sale is coming up so join that group too if you have space), and necklace from Finesmith.I’m wearing slink feet and nails, adorned with the glitter polish from Izzies.

Ready… set… GOTH

The Goth Fair has opened, I love fairs especially those in support of a charity or good cause.  Here’s the link to their web page  : http://worldgothfair.wordpress.com/

Goth isn’t just about clothing , though that is  my particular interest,it’s a lifestyle choice. I haven’t delved into what this lifestyle involves however I think any event that supports, encourages  and celebrates awareness of our differences is a step in the right direction. I believe that as long as a person’s choices and actions do not hurt/harm/kill others then people should be free to live as they choose without judgement and prejudice from others who do not share their beliefs/attitudes. .. quietly nudges soapbox back into the corner ..

So what does Goth fashion look like.. it’s surprisingly varied yes there is a lot of dark colours, predominantly black, purple and red.. lots of brocade, lace, fine jewelry and details. Boots, hats, stockings, dark makeup and gloves.. but there is a lot more variety than that. At the fair I saw goth looks influenced by cute almost kawaii imagery, goth that’s dark and historic or vampire connected, fantasy goth , haute couture goth, and clothing I could imagine seeing worn as part of your everyday wardrobe.

So even if you aren’t drawn to the goth lifestyle you might want to head over and see whats at the fair , you might fall in love ..like I did with these gorgeous mesh boots by lassitude & ennui and this FREE dress that comes with different skirt options by Evies Closet. I haven’t finished with the Goth Fair yet.. prepare for another post today revelling in goth goodies from Sakide

Ok I know what these terms refer to but I had no idea where this fit into the SL Disney Bound challenge . Even after reading they were a duo of villainous eels in The Little Mermaid .. I still couldn’t recall these characters. Time to re-watch the movie? nah.. I will just have fun capturing the colours of teal, turquoise and aqua.Here’s a link back to the original post so you can see what other bloggers are creating for this weeks challenge: http://styleminions.com/?p=1136

Beware …I’m almost bare

I thought I should give a little warning that I am posting a topless shot on my blog.. however it is for a good cause and it is .. discretely topless. 

First up.. how come this shot. The other day I was cruising the SL feeds of the people I follow as well as some trending photos and came across photos for Topless Tuesday. Chatting with CiaoBella who created a smoking hot shot for this week I decided to give it a try. Unfortunately my internet connection in the evening was less than desirable so even after several attempts the picture wouldn’t go to the feed.  So I saved it to my computer.

Why this styling for my shot? It combines two of my favourite things.. lingerie and roses, from two of my long time enjoyed stores in SL that are BOTH closing. Yes we will soon lose the wonderful poses of aDORKable poses and the fun clothing from The Sea Hole. 

The Rosey pose prop comes with a selection of 5 poses , included is a poseball and animation form along with the roses to wear.Everything in store is 50% off until closing 9th June.        http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/The%20Deck/134/181/23

The Catalina lingerie I had to buy in several different colour combinations it’s just gorgeous, and priced at 50L , as is everything in The Sea Hole mainstore until 31stMay.       http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/8%208/154/81/22

Both stores are having sales so perhaps this will be an opportunity for you to head along and show one more time how much we appreciate the hard work of these designers and creators .

It’s getting colder here

In SL, the land of what seems eternal sunshine it’s great to find that some designers release beautifully textured knitwear. When I saw this lovely cardi by Rivendell at The Garage Fashion Fair.. the only decision was what colour to choose. I love the detail, I love the style and I love that when I went to unpack it I wore a basket of muffins! SO slipping on a Truth hair style that comes with attached scarf, some thick leggings from Hucci and my lovely free thin knit top from Paradisis and I was ready to face the cool winds and enjoy some sunshine while it lasts.

Whatever the weather in your part of the world you should grab a few hours in the sun to enjoy the specials and sales at The Garage Fashion Fair.. you never know what you will find. Remember to check out the piles of specially discounted items these are priced very low, PLUS there are gifts in the stores, some set for 1L some for 0L.. so keep your eyes open for the bargains.
