The fashion community as a whole I believe would like to welcome Wednesday Soon, of Woo’s. Also: Bottom of Entry: Possible Scammer on Fashcon. Notice after the jump. Detailed shots after the jump.  

Iris’s Bikini Beach Party

So the weather where I live is getting warmer and I was sorting through all my RL bikinis. With a start I realized–I had a serious lack of SL swimwear. I logged on and tp’d off on a mission. After about three hours of shopping I realized that I’d seen basically every bikini our little [...]

Ana Lutetia … eliminated from SLNTM?

Our dear Ana Lutetia was eliminated from Second Life Next Top Model. (note group name still hasn’t changed) Can you spot JadaJacker? (hint: she’s in the hotpants.) Why? Ana looks more than confused – she can’t have 10 seconds to fix her group before being elminated? …because she wasn’t wearing her group tag when she [...]

L’Oreal Paris: The Face of SL

 Contestants will compete in a beauty pageant March 31, 2007 at NOON SL on ASpiRE! grounds. Contestants will work the L’Oreal Paris  runway in 3 looks, classy casual, formal, and bikini in a glamorous theme.  After contestants have modeled their 3 looks they will each come back onto the runway to talk about who they [...]

SCANDAL!!! SL’s Next Top Model… Has a Twin?

BooBooKittie Haight, proprieter and brains behind Catwalk City, has a problem. Her brainchild, the “SL Next Top Model” (SLNTM) contest, has a competitor with exactly the same name plus a tilde: “ ~SL Next Top Model~”. Ms. Haight’s project was on the back burner when Jada Hoyer swooped in and appeared to have taken it [...]

Fabala is going to have my babies.

Seriously. This new set of hers is the HIZZY. (I just said Hizzy. I don’t know what it means, but it seems snakelike.) The set, which includes numerous pieces at the slim L$350 price tag (seriously, there are a BUNCH of pieces in this set, it’s worth more than the price) also has a special [...]

Autumn is ALWAYS in season.

First off – I got interviewed!! I feel so Britney Spears. I caught up with Autumn Heyse of Autumn Elements yesterday. I purchased her Skull Choker before, which is entirely cute, but now she’s got shoes and – what’s this – HIGH QUALITY DJ headphones? Say it’s so! They come in a four or five [...]

Armitage?

What’s this?! A rant?! V. Wheeler: (Saved Sun Mar 18 17:22:13 2007) <rant> Crucial [sic] Armitage is a decent designer. However, her unfamiliarity with fashion and even English terminology bugs me. She claims to make ‘one of a kind’ items, but sells them to multiple avatars. I bought a couple pairs of ‘sling pumps’ that [...]

LanieWear: Has she done this before?

Up-and-coming LanieWear designer Laynie Link is so good, I swear she must have done this before. “Since November,” Laynie says, “but I have 14 years photoshop experience before. It was mostly just matching up the seams.” Look at that cute peek-a-boo bellybutton!   Now for the money shot:   BAM! Check out those DETAILS! The [...]

Things Are Ugg-Tastic at Mermaid Melody

Mermaid Melody, located on the pretty Mischief Cove (one of my personal favorite shopping spots because of the variety that you find there,) has Ugg boots. Almost every color you can think of, Michelle Thurston has made. I think this is great for two reasons: 1.) While there are lots of shoes in SL, I [...]

Veschi is Groovy

Oh, yeah. And happy St. Paddy’s day, all you Irish freaks out there. Wuvme Karuna has an awesome not-so-creepy St. Paddy’s day outfit at her shop in Caliente for only $50L. Go check it out. ***** Okay, so, I’ve had my eye on a new designer, Alla Ruff, for about a week now. Seems every [...]

ZZLand is open!

  Attention all! Zimmy Zuhal’s Zurrealia in Cecropia is NOW OPEN and taking renters!   I already got my space. ZZ Land Village Shops, Cecropia (198, 207, 36) (I also heard it whispered in a dark corner that there’s a pokeball vendor there that shoots real pikachus…) In the Quest of Tenshi to make good [...]

Happy Birthday, MissPrint Mahoney!

MissPrint Mahoney, landlady of Mischief Cove, officially turned old today. She’s one year old in Second Life. Today was her Rezday Party. A party where MissPrint took the opportunity to wear *every* *single* gown she had ever bought but never unpacked onto her avatar. The rest of us just watched her in amazement and slutted [...]

It’s Fun to be Victoria-n

Skye Qi’s Vintage Clothing Reproductions, located in the Geeks Unique shopping center, is a bit out of the way, but worth the trip. This girl has obviously done her research! The lines of her bodices and her silhouettes are period-perfect, and her dresses all include adorable details, like the hat and silk prim cuffs on [...]

Sarabi Designs

On a sad note, Sarabi Designs is shutting down. Today. Everything’s $10L until whenever Sarabi deletes everything. “Sarabi Designs is closing down. Today. Unfortunate RL problems, stuff like that. All my hair and jewelry is marked down to 10L$ atm so hurry down and grab some if you wish. I honestly cant promise when it [...]

Oh what a beautiful Bloooo-ooommeee…

I found a shop called Bloome in the new sim Geek Unique that I was dying to try out. Wonderfully girly without making me want to punch myself in the face, one should really take a look at this stuff. They have men’s stuff too, but I’ll save that for when Wilbur steps in here [...]

LOVELY! is all that I seem to be able to say…

Aradia Dielli and Lovey Darling both pounced on me this evening to thank me for the review earlier today, and passed along some of their new stuff for a sneak preview. Lovey Darling’s Cinnamon skin, and Aradia Dielli’s Perfect Image Blue Sand eyes from her up and coming Girly Beach Kit.     Now, if [...]

Wow, what a morning

A lovely, sun shining day outside. After a quick jaunt downtown for breakfast, I came back and signed on to SL expecting to only log in and back out … This morning, Paper Couture (finally) announced their new spring line being up… However, the thing that has kept me in-world for nearly two hours is [...]

SHOTGUN WEDDIN’!!

Under the guise of a shotgun wedding, Iris Seale of Punch Drunk and Tenshi Vielle of Tenshi’s High Fashion will be hosting THE fashion event of the season in Tableau. Date to be announced in the next week and a half, this is a call to all friends and designers to come dressed to the [...]

Steampunk Suit – Unisex $1L Cheapie

  Available in the Homes with Elegance sim.     Also please note that Iris has released a new outfit at Punch Drunk in Mischief Cove, proceeds go to charity. I’d put an image up, but she ran away! She’ll be back Saturday.

LOOKING FOR…

If there are any fashion-forward men out there, please IM me or leave me a message here. I need input – I’ve been hearing complaints about the lack of men’s fashion in SL and I want to investigate.

House of Paisley is Peachy

 Besides having amazingly cool hair, House of Paisley has some great, great other stuff. Paisley released some really adorable flexi-prim ties this week and I haven’t been able to shake them off my AV since.   This first tie is called “kiss” and has a wonderful retro-eighties neon-pink lipstick print on black. The next is Swirl which [...]

Interviewing the King of Funk

“better to spend a week on something you personally like to buy then finish it cause you wanna make lindens “ Menno Ophelia, creator of Hey Joe, and Tenshi Vielle hang out in THE place to be.        Today I took some time out and headed to THE place to be – Imogen [...]

Ah, well.

Despite the loss of “credibility” I may have lately, it appears sales in my shop have gone up. Hits on the websites certainly have. My reason for making this post, however, is to give a shout out about the Hair Fair 07. “Bringing together hair designers from all over Second Life for a one week [...]

Fabala is FABULOUS

“I suppose the Seductress is my demographic…” Fabala in one of her wonderfully untouchable formals We caught up with Fabala Snakeankle this evening, up and coming designer of Snakeanklebityou! with FANTASTIC “can’t catch me” peek-a-boo formals. [18:18] Tenshi Vielle: Okay, Fab, when did you start designing in SL? [18:19] Fabala Snakeankle: uhm, well i dabbled [...]
