Mr. X and Heidi New Jumo and Image Photography!

Jumo's new gown called Heidi makes me feel like a  spring fairy...a fay from fairyland to usher spring on earth...  with golden braids --- flowers and ferns all around me... I hope my beauty brings joy and mirth... Jumo has also made a combo called Spring that comes with a fab color changing hud... it is a must and make sure you combine it with her new eye makeup and collar called Spring for classic, letetuka and catwa heads.

When Mr. X holds me in his arms, I feel like a butterfly...  free and easy... I think the air smells of the perfume of spring flowers... and together we spoke simple soft words...  verdure words... green upon green life upon life...  flowers filled the hills and dale....

The Heidi gown with its sexy sheer insets and lovely lace by  Jumo made for maiterya, slink, tmp, and belleza -- and, best of all it has a large color changing hud.  And, don't forget the  NEW stole and eye makeup called Spring also by Jumo... it is perfect and the hud matches all the gown colors.

Mr. X told me I was the  queen of seasons, and every one  with me brings him so much happiness...  he told me after all these years, he is still cast under my spell... and I whispered  to him... and I am forever you dream... and in yours....  a willing love of your magical spell....

On a "romp" with Mr. X - New Wicca's Wardrobe & FAD exclusives

Rompers began as children's clothes which explains their similarity to overalls and jumpers.  They became the go play clothes of the 20th century and are hot and trending during the 21st century.

What I told Mr. X I liked about rompers is that they are versatile. They are just as easy to wear to the beach as they are to wear out... they are playful and give you a comfy feel.

There are lots of ways to wear a romper you can make it look preppy with a hat and bag, go boho with tribal accessories to add interest or go diva with metallic details like oversized sunglasses and wedge high sandals.

The romper by Wicca's Wardrobe is just adorable with its tone on tone flowers and hip button accents and is easy to dress up or down. Check out FAD for Wicca's Wardrobe's 2 exclusives like this gorgeous hat called the Alice Hat festooned opulent flowers and the tropicana wedge styled heels.

So Mr. X are you ready for a romp around the grid?  I am dressed for it and I suggest you head to Wicca's Wardrobe and FAD to get dressed for it too!

Stepping out with Mr. X - *New* Palazzo Gown by Jumo

A palazzo especially in Italy connotates an imperial building that was a symbol of Renaissance architecture. Jumo's new gown aptly called Palazzo exemplifies elegant beauty and graceful contours.

The detail in Palazzo makes it an instant classic with its ombre tones that illuminate this gown from every angle.  The realistic folds in the silk and the fur stole make it ideal for a special affair.

 Palazzo is simply stunning with its lavish beaded design that swirls and spirals down the front of this gown adding a touch of 30's glamour. Wear it with or without the stole, the choice is yours.

Palazzo  comes in several unusual colors (I got the fatpack it was too hard to choose just one gown) and has matching shoes, a gold and diamond necklace,  drop earrings and rings.

If all those add ons wasn't enough, this gown also has a hand hud --- Mr. X loves when I beckon him this way... and oh yes, I do.......

Into the Groove and Mr. X - New by designs Sascha

 Today, Mr. X left me a new outfit called  Disco Pants Set  with a color changing hud  that comes with a seamless tank top.  Mr. X  left me a note, " Sita this is gorgeous and will look great on you --- I love shaking up your wardrobe!"

The glimmering Disco Pants hud offers 9 colors from earth tones to jewel tones and the spandex midriff  tank top comes  in glitter white and black making it easy to mix and match.

Speaking of mix and match.... another  new release by Sascha's is  called Nicky Hud Tops  Although it  is sold separately from the Disco Pant and Top Set, Mr. X told me it  is a must have because it adds a sophisticated vibe to the Disco Pants Set.

I love the sleek silk silhouette of the  Nicky top, with its classy bow around the neckline and the fact that it creates an entirely different look making both a great buy.

Another plus of the  Nicky Top  is  that  hud offers 9 colors that blends with the disco glitter pants.

I am wearing the gorgeous  floral jewelry set called Lotus artfully created and hand crafted by Mandala.   Lotus comes in red,  white pink, black, bronze, gold and purple.  Fabulous bracelets are sold separately.  I want them all !

To "bear" in Mind Mr. X..two new releases Holy Shirt @ Sneak Peek!

Mr. X told me we have categories. It helps us avoid thinking. I tend to agree with him. But then again, some women transcend these.  Their faces are beautiful forever, rather than pretty for 15 minutes.

They change the world --- not the other way around.  They have a sense of style and are not afraid to step out -- carefree and happy.  Just like the new release called Bear Coat by Holy Shirt!

Bear coat with its hood replete with ears comes in lipstick, teal, animal and wild animal patterns.  I love the playful texture of this coat, the heart clasps and fur trimmed sleeves, hemline and hood.

The Bear coat is as cozy as wine by a blazing fire on a cold winter afternoon reading the paper to Mr. X.  Yes, the paper, not the kindle...we are old fashioned in that way.

Another new release by Holy Shirt is the show stopping beaded gown.  You will glitter to perfection when wearing this deep plunge gown that is sure to get you noticed.

I love the dazzling sparkle detailed beading that embellishes the plunging neckline.  The waistline is highlighted by a satin belt and bow.  This gown is simply elegant.

The Beaded Gown comes in navy, burgundy, white and turquoise.  I can't wait to go out dancing with Mr. X in this gown... I know all eyes will be on us.

Mr. X & the Sister of Light.... Ayesha - Sascha's New Release

As Mr. X drifted to sleep listening to the sweet voice of the Lady of the Rivers, just as she predicted.... he had a vision....

Colonnades fading in the lazy afternoon light-- sunlight filtered through tangerine...tones of oyster and violet...  the light of his smoldering eyes. Unforgettable.

The moon is on the wax, like a round silver seal, low on the horizon, sinking down.  But in the sky, toward the east, there is a great bright light...

She emerges in a whirlwind of light.... beckoning him... in a silk gem encrusted skirt and midriff top with a stole of white feathers -- a new release by Sascha Designs called- Ayesha with hints of the magic of Aladdin.

Like a seer, the sister of light always knows the answer... while Mr. X holds this thought like enchantment dreaming......

Let them eat cake and Morphine Skins New Release @ Kings and Queens Fair

Let them eat cake...those are the words supposedly uttered by Queen Marie Antoinette during a famine that occurred in France during her brief and tragic reign.  There is no actual record that the Queen said these words and today I told Mr. X that this quote is more or less an invented anecdote -- he agreed!  

Speaking of Queens don't miss the Kings and Queens event - 50 designers on sim from Sept. 1-30 -- and don't miss the new dress by Morphine Skins called Beatrix that is fit for a Queen!  This was shot at Lea 18...Frankx Lefavre new build....it is out of this world.

Aphrodite for Heart Homes has been busy baking... cakes of course and who doesn't want a Dalek cake! If you are not in the know, Mr. X had to tell me all about Daleks, they are robotic looking cybernetic organisms that are the enemy of Dr. Who! Intensely xenophobic and bent on universal domination they are feared throughout the universe but make great cake!

Aphrodite has also made a Dr. Space wedding cake and I would use this to celebrate Dr. Who that crafty Time Lord that explores the universe in his Tardis, a sentient time traveling space ship that resembles a British police box!  

This cake is musical and even comes in 8 delectable flavors. Your guests can touch any of these cakes pictured and get a slice of cake with a fork... there is enough cake to satisfy every sweet tooth on the grid!

Another version of the Dr. Space Cake has been whipped up for a Happy Rezz Day or Birthday Party! 

This cake is musical and comes in 8 delightful flavors replete with a festive Tardis space ship topper!

For all you mermaids out there, Aphrodite has made a delightful mermaid cake gaily decorated with fish and mermaids... your fin adorned friends can have a slice of cake that comes with a silver fork!

The Queen Roses birthday cake plays the traditional birthday song and even has an on off switch for the candles... so your guest of honor can actually blow them out!  Try clicking the base of the fountain to shut the water and sound on and off... this cake is truly fit for a Queen and so is the new dress called Beatrix Elegant by Morphine Skins.

The Rainbow Cake is simply layers of fun and the most ornate cake of them all... with many little extras including music, a fountain and candles both with on off switches.   

Beatrix Elegance Black and white is perfect for my party mood with its cute mini and cascading skirt cinched with a fabulous  jewel and sweetheart cut top that gleams with a shimmery gemlike texture.  This is the exclusive feature design at the Kings and Queen Fair... it's beautiful.

Oh What a Mesh... Photo Studio that is & group gifts

Throw out all your photo studio's a new version of the Mesh Studio by Sparkie Harland has arrived... and it is a dream come true because it does just about everything imaginable and more.

Best of all you can add your own ao's and textures (full perm only). What makes this studio unique is that you can organize textures and ao's within the panel and on a hud. You can move and stretch textures with the touch of an arrow for the perfect shot.  You can also rezz a prop that allows you to enhance your photos with the touch of a few buttons.  This studio is easy to use and comes with helpful note cards that make things crystal clear!

Wearing May Group Gift - Styles By Danielle  Alice Bordeaux.  Skin: Morphine April Group Gift: Rowena Peach Skintone & Morphine Audrey Lipstick.  Jewelry: Zuri Rayna Sari Tikki necklace, earrings, bracelet in Ruby-Black Pearls

The poses options are amazing because you can scroll through them or choose a 5 second cycle. This studio then allows you to move the avatar around using the directional arrows in the big red circle in any direction and also 360 rotate. You can auto rotate using the buttons under auto scroll.  You can also add one more avatar to this studio and manipulate the poses to create new poses together.

A series of particle effects come with this studio that add atmosphere. In addition the studio has directional and ambient lighting built into the studio that offers a choice of lighting colors, radius and rotation. If you have favorite lighting settings you can also load them into the studio as a preset.  The facebook button, instagram, flickr and photo edit takes you to websites via a drop menu making uploading your favorite shots easy. As  you can see from the photo below, there are tons of fabulous options that this studio offers... this is just the tip of the iceberg!

Another May gift... by ghee is called the Candy Dot Dress.  This cute spring shift is light and breezy.  I love the combination of chartreuse and powder pink... they evoke the feeling of spring.

Wearing May Group Gift: ghee - Candy Dot dress, pocketbook, headscarf & shoes

This gift also comes with cute chartreuse pumps and a bag...perfect for shopping... one of Mr. X's favorite activities.... he is such a dandy sometimes!
