Mr. X and Zaira *New* Resun

Mr. X said the tickets weren't easy to get.  But, being Mr. X, he got them. I told him I would meet him on Fifth Ave. between East 56 and East 57 Streets...yes, right by Trump Tower!  Resun's new outfit called Zaira is swank and perfect for cocktails on the rooftop garden overlooking the city.

Zaira is smart and sassy! This figure- flattering long skirt is the perfect choice for a fabulous night out. It has a cute belt at the waistline and comes with a color changing hud with 10 color choices-- all fabulous. Mr. X loves the strategically placed peek-a boo cutouts they make him smoulder!

Zaira is classy and sexy at the same time... like all of Resun's designs. A real bonus of this dress is the matching necklace that drapes evocatively down the back of the dress and forms a necklace at your neckline. It comes in silver and gold.

Mr. X and Seleia - *New* Wicca's Wardrobe

Do you feel the pressure? The stranglehold on your freedom? The air getting squeezed out of you? Or do you feel as free as a bird in this fabulous new dress by Wicca's Wardrobe called Seleia.  I love love love the coffee black color of this dress accented with its metallic gold accents -- perfect for a Cyber Queen of the Night!

Seleia has a lavish wide belt and a cascade of complimentary pleats that make this dress a standout. Add the artistic arrows on the bodice of this dress and you have something special that you can dress up for a perky date or put on your special cyber eye attachment that comes with Seleia and go kick  up a galactic cyber storm !

Speaking of cyber fun, a great musician died last week, Paul Kantner from the Jefferson Starship... I remember hanging about as a kid with all the older boys -- I would watch them play basketball and keep score for them... they loved Jefferson Starship and the album Blows Against the Empire -- it was sorta a science fiction story set to music by none other than Paul Kantner. I think he would have liked this look a lot!

Like all of Wicca's outfits, they can be worn in so many ways... I love that aspect of her designs... without the eyepiece and cyber hair, wear this sexy sweet dress at your favorite club and  create a sensation! I have also paired this dress with Sigourney Heels created by Wicca's Wardrobe. The heels are works of art with their jagged spikes and best of all they come with a color changing hud that matches Seleia perfectly.

Mr. X and New Beginnings - New Gown - TWA

If I was the Queen... I think I would make that dashing warrior with his golden blonde hair and deep blue grey eyes  one of my most trusted knights.   I know he has a story to tell. One of wildness, romance, bewilderment and dreaming.  I have seen his look before. He tells me he loves my new gown.  I said, of course, it is called New Beginnings and it is by TWA.

I love the texture of this gown with it's lavish floral texture making it a garden of delight in a pastel silk texture of sweet raspberry and mint green... it is fresh as spring itself.  He told me he is a man of unreasonable hope -- an uncommon quality and one that is so desirable for a knight -- he must also have the  unbound belief that one man working alone can still make a difference in the world and in my kingdom... as I look deep into the steel blue of his eyes -- I begin to believe him...

I asked him to meet me by the gate that leads to a hidden garden... to my secret realm where pixie's play all manner of tricks on the unknowing....shall he follow...only time will tell....

Mr. X and Walden - *new* Ghee and October 4 Season Skins

Perched on the high tower of my castle wall I look to the horizon of the setting sun and wonder where Mr. X's travels have taken him... what adventures has he had...sadly without me by his side.   Time and obligations have kept me here -- amid the cold stones of this fortress -- alone.

To cheer myself, I am wearing the gorgeous new gown by Ghee, called Walden an exclusive at this month's Instruments -- it has an opulent blue bell skirt with bare branches artfully etched on it... reminding me of my arms... without Mr. X.  I love the ombre silk that this gown is made of with it's lavish blending of colors. I am wearing Walden in Dusk.

To complete this look, Ghee has made beautiful Walden matching drop earrings that are elegant and set this dress off perfectly.  Ghee has also created a most unique Walden Headpiece -- a crown of bare branches hung with jewels that remind me of  chimes that tingle in the wind...Mr. X can you hear... I have paired this look with the fabulous new skin by October 4 Seasons, Guiselle Auburn - I love it!  It comes with 5 make-ups and a natural look it goes really well with brown or red hair and is a must have to wear with outfits with the dusky tones of this gown.

Mr. X and the Night - *new* October 4 Seasons and Jumo

We are in the Dark Of The Moon.  Secrets can be revealed. Veils can be raised. Mystical experiences can be realized. Psychic journeys can be undertaken. Wearing the new pantsuit called Zodiac by Jumo  and the new skin, Auburn Guiselle by October 4 Seasons makes me want to dance up a storm  under the sacred crescent moon...that is beginning to brighten the horizon...setting  fire to the night.

Mr. X told me under the pearl nascent moonlight that shines like an opal that ancestors can be contacted. The departed can be more vividly remembered. Truths can be told. Passions can be inflamed. Sensitivities can be awakened and exploited. Answers to questions can be attained. Visions of the future can be given. Ailments can be diagnosed and, in some cases, cured. 

I see now that pixies and hobbits, fairies and elves can be revealed. Spells can be more successfully cast when entranced with the power of the moon. Charms can be better worked...when dreaming the the never ending tomorrows with my beloved Mr. X.........

Mr. X and Mary Kate... *NEW* JUMO

I am as ancient as the wind and as wise at the moon...I am wearing my namesake talisman...a moonstone that holds the power of mystery. Only within its reflected light can one begin to understand what it is and, more importantly, what  I have to teach you.  Only a moonstone will lead you on an inner journey where you will discover parts of your soul that you have forgotten. I hold the key.

I am wearing the empowering gothic styled mermaid gown called Mary Kate by Jumo that shimmers with seductive sequins and radiates power that will be featured at Feroush Fashion Show.  The dress is available at the main store and on marketplace as well as at the Feroush Fashion Show. This is just one of many dresses that Jumo is releasing for this event.

I love the fact that the Mary Kate gown comes loaded with beautiful moonstone jewelry set in gothic style leather cuffs. Two opulent bracelets, two rings, earrings and a cross necklace along with a gorgeous black fur stole complete the look...

Mr. X and Gaia - New Faster Pussycat @ The Instruments

It's like awaking from a dream... all I remember is the lullaby... soft, sweet...like soft rain on petals...and then the world of spirits and Mr. X.  Waking... I found a marvelous gift from Faster Pussycat.  The gown called Morty Gown Blue is an exclusive by Faster Pussycat at The Instruments and comes in purple and blue.

Morty Gown Blue has a dreamlike sublimated texture that reminds me of an the impressionist painting -- or a stained glass window by Tiffany... wearing it I feel like walking art.  Morty Gown Blue is an elegant mermaid styled gown befitting a princess  that anticipates spring and is somewhere between demure, ultra feminine and  romantic and totally worthy of an earthly goddess!

The matching floral crown called  sold separately is  the perfect addition to Nymph.  Wearing it  you will feel as powerful as Gaia, the Greek Goddess that rose out of chaos and  is Mother Earth.  Flower crowns were common in ancient Greece; and were worn on special occasions to honor the gods. This floral crown contains a blend of small pink and blue roses, wrapped up with foliage and accented with silver rams heads and spikes of silver power that radiates strength and beauty.

The Nymph headpiece and gown is pure romance with flowers and leaves details that add to the pretty gown making even the most cynical fashion girl swoon and feel the  sovereignty  of the goddess and the regenerative power of earth.

If you don't want a gown, Faster Pussycat is also offering a snazzy fur vest and satin jeans called Mila.  It is mesh and comes in four colors including aubergine, blue, nude and violet.

There is Still Time -- Eshi Otawara Closing Shop Jan. 19

It is with great sadness that I write this... for the moment Eshi Otawara, one of my all time favorite designers is closing her shop on January 19... two words of advice - GET THERE.  Mr. X loves her designs, as an accomplished builder he more than appreciates Eshi's techniques and her artistry -- and he is not alone -- many of us marvel at Eshi's creations.

I remember when I first discovered Eshi's shop -- called Chocolate -- I thought I died and went to SL heaven with the amazing designs and textures Eshi created -- wearing her clothes made me feel beautiful -- I felt like walking art...I still do when I wear Eshi.

To me her designs are timeless. Her textures are flawless and when you are that good you don't need mesh.  Each time I would get a notice that a new design was out -- I think I was the first at the store... I couldn't wait to see what that fabulously creative mind made.... this time... you see, with Eshi, you never know what to expect.

Eshi's designs range from avant guard gowns and sexy cat suits to sci-fi garb that is out of this world.  And, then, there are her hats -- and make up and jewelry... all so well done.  In this blog I am   trying to show a range of Eshi's designs, but sadly this is just the tip of the iceberg.... go visit the shop and see for yourself....

Mr. X and <*>B<*> at the Instruments and Ghee

Mr. X wants to wander today... and I want to look extra special for him.  I have missed him the past few mornings because I have the dreaded flu...and because sometimes, timezones are a real -- ok, I'll say it, a bitch!

I don't want to blend in with everyone else... so I decided to head over to the Instruments.  I found the most fabulous trench coat called Fola Coat Royal by <*>B<*> -- it's perfect! It comes with tons of details like a contrasted collar, wrinkles just the right way, covered buttons down the front and a contrast belt at the waist and sleeves. I combined this with Ghee's Cerulean Turtleneck Sweater, Tights and matching shoes.  Ghee is also participating in the Instruments and I will blog their exclusive this coming week -- it is to die for!

The Fola styled trench coat has fitted princess seams that create a fabulous look- Fola Royal comes in a trendy abstract pattern, another choice is called Mauve Mist, an  attractive floral print that I paired with Ghee's Aubergine tights and sweater.  And, for those that like a monochromatic look, Fola also comes in black and grey.

I just couldn't resist blogging another exclusive by <*>B<*> called the Burna Coat and Dress, it comes in many colors, but I fell in love with the rich color called  Cognac -- to  be honest, I could go for a healthy shot of it right now... for medicinal purposes of course!

Mr. X and Louise - *NEW* Luxe Paris and Luna @ Instruments

It's winter -- outside there is a "snow shower" --  the air is crisp and cold... the sky is a glorious blue... Mr. X and I love the winter landscape and all the tree branches, stone walls, fences, benches and even roof tops that are nestled  under a blanket of snow.

And, then there are the dark, frigid nights... perfect for cuddling by the fire.  We love to hear the fire crackle --- there is nothing like the sound and smell of wood burning in the fireplace on  a winter evening during a snowstorm.  Feeling cozy I decided to wear one of several  new releases by Luxe Paris called Louise Cape & jeans.  

This classic poncho lends itself to a relaxed drape that is oh so cozy.   This contemporary styled poncho with its  stylish cowl neckline, basket weave texture that is almost 3-D and fringe make it the perfect choice for a night out -- exploring a winter landscape, cuddling by a fire or dancing the night away.

The matching tight suede pants that come with this outfit match the buttons on the poncho's cowl neckline pulling this look together.  Manon Heels by Wicca's Wardrobe with their  particularly unique spike heel and color changing hud just add to this look.  I love the artful design of these shoes.

I have paired this look with "Moon" nails made for slink hands and feet by Luna.  These nails  embellished by  a crescent moon are an exclusive at The Instruments.  They come with a color changing hud in trendy colors that that go with so manystyles.

Mr X and Blanche - New Jumo @ The Instruments

January's theme for the Instruments is Earth...Mr. X told me that the word  "earth" goes back to the 5th century AD with the migration of Germanic tribes from Euope to Britain. The word earth originates from the Anglo-Saxon word erda and its Germanic equivalent erde that means ground or soil.  The new mermaid style gown called Blance at The Instruments has a texture of bare tree branches and will make you  feel like a goddess of the earth.

Wearing this  new release by Jumo, I feel like a goddess, standing at the center of the earth -- forever, in a promise of immortality, the tree of life promises immortality spreading its roots and branches in a cascading network of color. Blanche comes in Earth (worn), flora, forest and sand.

Blanche also comes with a fabulous necklace that is tribal  chic with gold beads, tassels, onyx and bone.  I love it, in addition to two chain bracelets with tassels, matching earrings and two rings.  The jewelry exudes power and grace and catch the light with each step you take.  I could not help but pair this with October 4 Seasons new skin, Guiselle in Mocha.

Earth is the only planet not named after a mythological Greco Roman God; nevertheless, wearing this  exclusive gown by Jumo at the Instruments makes me feel out of this world...it is heavenly and a must have.  It  makes me want to reach for the stars... as I wait for Mr. X... to take me to the moon!!
