Mr. X and Exotica - NEW SKIN and Styles By Danielle

I make my way slowly to the Temple of Hatshepsut as the sun blazes like a great golden orb transforming the limestone cliffs of Thebes into electrum, the favorite metal of Hathor, my sister goddess.  It will be an evening to remember... of drink and dance and celebration.

I am wearing the *new* skin called Zulay by October 4 Seasons, and the opulent gown called Lynxa by Styles by Danielle -- it is one of my all time favorites.

Lynxa, a gown that is regal  with blazing gold sheer sleeves, the gold accents to the flowing train, the jeweled piece at the waist and the distinctively unforgettable texture. It also comes with a distinctive hat and  matching jewelry that is sold separately.

I feel like a goddess.  To me, this gown proves that if you are good enough in terms of textures and design,  you don't need mesh.

Zulay, October's new skin is the female version of Zulu meaning the heavens or brilliant --- and it is both--- I am in heaven wearing Chocolate Cosmos -- it is  a brilliant skin with so many options that offer stunningly  bold make-up options that run  from cool to  hot - they are all stunning. Let me show you.........

This is one of the softest of five make-up versions plus natural versions that is part of the Chocolate Cosmos (CC) skin pack.  This is make-up #1 with the black brows (also comes with  red brows).  CC comes with lush eyelashes that are oh so sultry!

Make-Up #4  has the most  delicious bright coral lips... I wore this make up with the lashes, the red eyebrow option and can't wait to show Mr. X... he will swoon with delight!

I just can't resist showing you make-up #2 with its' exotic  purple eyeshadow and perfectly shaded eggplant lips with just the right touch of gloss that make the world your arena!

So Mr. X....

Mr. X & the "in" Crowd New Design by Resun

It happened again, in an instant. Mr X with his Aussie accent mumbles my heart (or was it head) has fallen asleep...ugh time zones...

I say to myself, I love my new leather studded sexy outfit by Resun called Brenda as I elegantly disembark from the taxi into the misty night...this outfit will wake him up!

In that moment --as our eyes meet and he takes my hand, we fall instantly in love again... "Sita, this is stunning... and you look beautiful -- Resun has outdone himself."  I say, I know!!! Check out the sandals -- sold separately they complete this look.

I am in love with the asymmetric design of Brenda's skirt that is made of 100% leather that flows on the summer wind. The rhinestone studded bolero jacket  and belt made Mr. X melt!  I like that. Brenda comes with the Sarah pearl necklace that dangles so seductively.

We will dance until midnight...then talk late into the early hours of the morning.  You would be so easy to love playing softly in the background...there is no place like Bourbon Street. 

Later, I confess to Mr. X that Brenda by Resun gave me even more confidence.  He later confesses nothing, of course. He just smiles and listens.... then takes me in his arms.... and......

Mr. X and the Siren - Poet's Heart's Ocean Soul.......

They tell me I could not be more beautiful... I am a siren, singing against the wind... my songs reverberate against the rocks echoing the  feelings deep inside you.

My songs are haunting, alluring, enticing, soulful, ancient.... and beautiful -- just like this new siren of the sea inspired gown and head piece called Ocean Soul by Poets Heart.

Mr. X Lingers with the Sirens... he lulled by their songs  of life and adventure... the allure of a siren sweetly singing your name cannot be resisted -- you will answer her call...it is only natural.

Ocean Soul comes in sunkissed colors of breeze, coral reef,woodland pond, glacier, dawn at lake, rolling river and sunset by the ocean. The ombre like textures are artfully made with a faint scale like pattern almost like the tail of a mermaid.

Sold separately is the matching headpiece that completes the look. It adds a shell and coral headpiece with a matching color changing hud. It is incredibly shaded and each coral branch can be changed. The headpiece also comes with pearls that match the pearl belt at the waistline, that can be changed as well.  In perfect siren fashion, the shoulder embellishments shaped like coral  float on the air...

Beautiful and lonely. Encased in timeless lore... the siren sings to you of love... you will fall blissfully into the dream.

Princess Perpetua, Muse and Mr. X

Tonight I go to the secret grotto... in search of the oracle... I am poor Princess Amethyst --  of ashes and crowns gained and lost...In my darkest hours I wear Perpetua by TWA in Ash and the matching  *new*  Muse  Royal Perpetua Burnished Bronze crown, earrings and ring set with amethysts with a color changing gem hud. Do  you remember... my problem... and should  I  ask the oracle what to do... she is  the light.

This is serious as the empire is at stake and I have so many choices to make... the bronze crown or the golden or the silver...Muse has made  three opulent choices all with color changing huds and all as alluring as the oracle... do you think she will show herself and tell me what I must ask Mr. X to do?

Oh great  goddess mother... I  beg you to appear as your celtic daughter that needs your wisdom and kindness... I will bring you gifts of all manner... and ..... I think I see her... do you?  Perhaps she will be the kind goddess and .... Yes! and Yes! again...she appears and I  have all my answers... now I know what to do....

In this long night I await --- soft footsteps and then...  the world is set right again... as the oracle has told me..I count the grains of the sand on the beach and I hear the voiceless...I see the stars in his eyes and I understand  the impossible is... possible....

Ghee @ FAD and Rehana Mocha - October 4 Seasons

Mr. X took me on an excursion to the House of the Tragic Poet, a typical 2nd century BC Roman House in Pompeii.

We marveled at the exquisite mosaic tile floors and lusty frescoes on the walls. We admired the vestibule floor that was decorated with a mosaic of a domesticated dog. Then we went on to FAD a new fashion venue.

I am wearing the new flirty skirt and top by ghee called Portia Magnolia.  It is an exclusive at FAD.  I love the flowing skirt and cutout top with it's artful inset of floral fabric.  Check out the fabulous matching heels -- oh la la with their ribbon lace ups and fun hud to mix and match!  Ghee has even created matching nails.

This  new skin  just released by October 4 Seasons called Mocha Rehana... it is a warm chocolate skin that is luscious with its sprinkling of freckles and sweet kissable sensual lips. Mocha comes with all the appliers plus four make- ups as well as a natural skin to choose from.  Special sexy tattoos are a bonus!

OMG MR. X reminded me -- ghee even offers a satchel perfect for shopping with an easy to use hud that matches the shoes perfectly. I like that! Portia also comes in sunflower, lily & silver all gorgeous.

Mr. X and the First Saturday in July in Sascha's New Cocktail Dress

I told Mr. X  I have to skip the evening party with the Governor.  Of course... Mr. X said, of course, -- I can't picture you in that gorgeous dress by Sascha's Designs called Claire standing in line for cheese and crackers... yes budgets are tight -- wonders where the caviar is!

Mr. X, let's slip out  to the city bar that overlooks Manhattan -- can't you see me in the city lights sipping.... let me think,  a "Manhattan"?  I slipped on this gorgeous new silk and gold thread embroidered cocktail dress that comes in peach, lemon, purple, pink, cherry and fuscia. I love the lavish gold thread pattern

In this  cocktail dress with it's deep cut V neckline and it's three versions of skirts from layered to straight and sensual to flouncy and flirty... I cannot help but look crisp, confident and yours.

Mr. X my only question is... will you get me a refill and shall we tango into the wee hours of the morning?

Eye of the Dawn & MVW - Styles by Danielle & Events@1st& MissSL

Indonesia...  Bali, the word means "eye of the dawn" -- how romantic is that -- it is like a new beginning -- always... it reminds me of each day I see Mr. X... always new and so very dear.  Dewi Sri, is the goddess of life and love and rice in Indonesia -- she reigns in Hindu Bali... it is where Mr. X and I shall meet and dance on water to the sound of the gamelan.  Dewi Sri has dominion over the underworld and the moon and she is revered.

Danni Plassitz CEO of Styles by Danielle has created a gorgeous silk masterpiece, appropriately called Dewi Sri that is based on a Balinese traditional dress for Miss SL 2015 Indonesia - Mio Linette. It has layers of silk that is artfully draped and perfectly textured. As with nearly everything in Bali, dress has a divine origin and this gown is divine indeed; and -  fit for a queen or princess.

A traditional  Legong dancer has her torso wrapped in a sabuk (sash) that can be up to 15 metres in length and the lower body is wrapped in a 2 meter cloth that is extremely tight creating a beautiful silhouette. The  decorations are always made with heavy gold thread and gold printed patterns. Danni has created a gorgeous flowing skirt that exemplifies this.

As for the headpiece it an exclusive from Events@1st by Astralia called Geisha.  It comes with an ornate headpiece, bracelet and ring.  It also comes with a handy resizer making it easy to wear.

So Mr. X... shall we dance on moonlight to gamelan?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmlAZxha8Pw

Mr. X & Chiffon, Almond & Ghee & New Gift Skin October 4 Seasons

If there was ever a cake to have a rag to riches story, a Marilyn Monroe type Hollywood discovery it is the chiffon cake, a light cake with a delicate crumb that resembles an angel food cake but is richer. Created in 1927 by Harry Baker, a "hobby chef" this cake whose secret ingredients he kept to himself for decades rose faster than the stardom of Lana Turner. After trying 400 recipes to improve on the angel cake, he used vegetable oil rather than butter or shortening in his recipe and the chiffon cake was born.  It  was sought by the high rollers of Hollywood and beyond.

Mr. X and I may not be high rollers but in this new chiffon colored gown by ghee called Ophelia, I feel like a starlet.  In addition to chiffon, Ophelia comes in dove, almond and moss.  Matching fringe top or strappy heels are sold separately and are a must have.
I feel light and airy in Ophelia "chiffon" with it's sexy bodice and lace trimmed bra top. In this outfit  --- you just dress the part -- think Lana and make a grand entrance, you will be noticed.

Another find in chiffon is this classic A-line dress in a muted floral pattern. I love the delicate side seams that add a touch of sophistication -- this is an iconic look that has been turning heads for years.

Speaking of turning heads, October 4 Season Skins has just released the June Skin  Gift called Summer Beach.   I love the soft golden summer glow of this lightly freckled skin (Mr. X loves those) with its soft sunkissed lips and evocative eyes.  So if you are not a member... this is definitely the month to become one. The skin comes loaded with appropriate appliers.

There is an evocative celtic inspired  low belly tattoo and a long tattoo down the back... that is pure summer fun...Mr. X I can hear the tropics calling.....

Mr. X and Marika- New Release by Resun

I told Mr. X it is sometimes easy to dress the part of a sexy and sophisticated fashion diva...and Resun's new cardigan and mini skirt called Marika makes this easy.

I love the softer than silk look of Marika with its realistic wrinkled tight mini skirt that hugs my hips just so and the accent belt that is a great touch.  This low cut skirt even lets my pixie tattoo that comes with this great skin - Rehana Auburn peek out.

The lettuce leaf lace of the asymmetrical  jacket is so eye catching making you feel beautiful with every step you take.  As for me, I feel red carpet ready in Resun's  Marika! This comes with a convenient color changing hud featuring 9  colors in all primary shades.

Mr. X & the Abode of Love - Wicca Merlin's new release

Mr. X told me about the gardens of Shalimar whose name in Sanskrit means abode of love.  Built for Nur Jahan (light of the palace) it is an oasis of true beauty that overwhelms. Tonight, I plan to overwhelm Mr. X in this new jumpsuit called Nuella by Wicca's Wardrobe as we explore this ancient landscape.

Nuella is fresh, flirty and fun, in a retro vintage way that makes it a must have for summer.  I love the sharp seams that add shape to the top and the way the waist breaks into pleated legs with a tapered silhouette.

The romance of flowers!  I love the soft colors of this vintage inspired floral texture of this sleeveless jumpsuit with its delicate midriff silken accent and casual scarf at the neck.  The square cut low back adds notes of distinction to Nuella.

 Shalimar has a subtle air of leisure and repose, it casts a romantic indefinable spell, Mr. X and I wander through this leafy garden of dim vistas and pavilions, past smooth sheets of falling water and wide canals whose calm reflections are broken by the stepping stones across the streams.
