Mr. X and Lady MacAlister of Sky Crate @ MEDIEVAL FAIRE May 19-June 18

The MEDIEVAL FAIRE is in full swing and there are so many exclusives at great prices it makes my head swim with joy!  There is everything here from furniture to accessories and clothes. Speaking of clothes I found two of the most elegant tartan gowns created by  Fenn MacMoragh owner of MacMoragh's Forge that are perfect for medieval roleplay or for any formal event. And, for men there are kilts...! Fenn MacMoragh has been creating in SL for over six years. It started with a pair of boots, then he needed a new kilt, and. of course he wanted a sword...needless to say, he just kept on building!

The first gown is Lady MacAlister of Sky Crate. It is made for classic bodies -- I have adjusted my mesh Lara body and it is stunning on me.  I love the tight fitting bodice that has eyelets and laces up the front accentuating your figure in the best of medieval style. The open front overdress of the gorgeous tartan of the MacAlister Clan reveals a classic gold silk chemise that makes this authentic.

The second exclusive dress is called Lady Murray. A wheat colored linen blouse and superbly cut bodice in a beautiful teal/green color has eyelets that lace  up the front giving you that perfect hourglass shape... Mr. X loves that! The over gown is made of a high quality classic tartan pattern that has a traditional  chemise that any lassie would be happy to wear.

Mr X and Allium by Ghee Exclusive at Designers Showcase through 5/31 & Jumo Hair

I love thoughtful understatement. And Mr. X loves the classically feminine look. We both love summer frocks that  knock it out of the park and are good to go to almost any event from a casual dinner party to a night dancing under the stars.

The new dress and shoes by Ghee called Allium it is sold exclusively at the Designers Showcase through May 31.  It is so stylish and elegant -- and comes in 8 gorgeous custom colors - matching shoes are sold separately.  Allium is made for Freya, Slink, Isis, Lara, and Venus mesh bodies.  The pumps are made for bellezza, slink & maitreya high mesh feet.

Many of Ghees outfits are mix and match and inspired by nature.  The plant in RL called Allium is  in the onion family and has a glorious globe that crowns a graceful stem. Like  the plant, this dress comes in  the same colors of the globe- pink, white, yellow, blue and purple in addition to black... and it is stunning! The hair is a new style from Jumo called Kristen

 I love the way the pattern of the allium embellishes the dress and the way the one shoulder top with it's cute ruffle adds an unexpected edge to the classic skirt of this outfit.  It is perfect for a summer ramble and is sure flood your inbox with invitations!

Mr X and Chi @ Swank

How I love a trip to the fair....  there is a certain romance to the smell of cotton candy and the up and down motion of a ferris wheel...  I found the perfect mini dress that is an exclusive Swank called Yarkarta by Chi that is made for mesh bodies.

Yarkarta comes with gladiator lace up sandals a massive color changing hud that matches the  dress.  The boots are made for slink and maitreya high feet and are a must have with 20 colors!

Ch's  exclusive dress Yarkarta  is made of skin tight curves hugging silk with an amazing hud. You can change the color of the dress with a hud that combines 20 solid and pattern colors in total.  The patterns range from leopard and abstract prints to  floral textures.  The hud also allows you to  can change the metal of the neck chains and harness.  Mr. X really adores the way the side of this dress laces up my thighs... what I like, best is the mix and match color changing hud --- that provides endless hours of possibilities and I love surprising Mr. X!

Mr. X and Constance Stanbury *NEW* !!SMD!!

It is the 1850s. At the mouth of the Baltic lies the gilded city of Saint-Petersburg, lined with ornate palaces and home to the Romanov dynasty. And, !!SMD!! has made the most beautiful 18th century Rococo styled gown called Constance Stanbury in the finest courtly fashion to explore any 18th century SL sim.

Constance Stanbury is made in the finest 18th century Rococo style with a tobe a la francaise consisting of a jupe (skirt), stomacher and low cut ruffled bodice with marked waist and flowing loose hanging back folds, called Watteau folds. This gown is made of light silk taffeta and damask -- historically it came in soft pastels such as this lovely purple or pink that I am wearing.  This gown also comes in blue, black and white, red and teal and is made for Slink and Maitreya Mesh bodies.

The hat is an artful display of lace, flowers and feathers... perfect for a proper lady in the 1880's!  The hair I have on is no longer made although may be available on MP.

Imagine walking the historic streets of this fabulous city. Known as the Venice of the North the wide avenues and grand neo-classical styled buildings are amazing. Nevsky Prospekt is St Petersburg's best known street cutting through the historic center from the Admiralty to the Moscow Railway Station then on to the Alexander Nevsky Monastery. Palaces, cathedrals, theatres grace the streets all leading to the magnificent Winter Palace.

Yes, they have  daughters (and probably lots of them !!)... those wicked men of the seas... and gorgeous crafty daughters at that...those Pirates....  this new outfit by Wicca's Wardrobe is an elegantly whirlwind of a twist on.... steampunk  pirate chic.....I love the new dress called Alethea with its extravagant color changing hud. The back of this dress is as cool as the front -- Mr. X loves that kind of detail and so do I and Wicca has such a wonderful eye for detail!

Wind in my sails...  flowing... around me... the horizon is blood red and beautiful...the images that  flicker in my mind's eye are those of the seven seas... of discovery and the satisfaction that  comes with conquest... or shall I say accomplishment... and this new hat and gown by Wicca's Wardrobe is beyond accomplishment... it is artistically steampunk cool.

I mean look at this hat... how can u resist this  armanda?  Talk about the Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria (those were the names of the ships Columbus sailed to find America) -- this hat is called....Endeavor Hat and it is an exclusive GIFT (and must have ) at We Love  Roleplay... I mean just look at this  clipper ship in full sail.... you will head for the  horizons wearing it.

Mr. X and Siri new [Aleutia] & Emo-tions Jewelry "All Those Kisses"

It is the weekend... and what to wear --- is always a question... but [Aleutia]'s new design called "Siri" makes it an easy choice with tons of variation... Mr. X likes that.  This is perfect for gossip and rum at the port of call...later dinner outdoors under soft lights -- the fragrance of orange in the air....

Siri  is a luscious one piece bodysuit that is sleek and sensual and perfect to make a bold statement. The slink silk bodice accentuates the sexy sheer  silk cutouts while the suit hugs a woman's curves in a fabulous fit that will have heads turning.

The first version of Siri is available with [Aleutia]'s signature 30 color HUD.  This hud allows you to mix and match this outfit in solid colors.

The second version of Siri includes 12 flamboyant prints -- each one prettier than the next... plus it has a 30 color  hud for the sheer cutouts giving the prints endless  variety.  Siri is 100% Original Mesh and an exclusive Maitreya Design.  It is available at Cosmopolitan through May 20 and is only 250L For the length of the event!

I have paired Siri with a new jewelry release by Em-tions called "All Those Kisses" (good god, Mr. X knows how I love those!!).  I have a personal fondness for turquoise in both lives and this release is gorgeous with its chunky bracelet, gorgeous oval ring that reminds me of a Zuni  ring and charming arrowhead necklace all in finely wrought silver. It has a Native American vibe... which I love...to Native Americans, turquoise is simply -- life...the earth is alive with all things... no matter how large or small...and this is something we must all respect. An exclusive @ ON9 through May 31.

Mr. X and Roman Holiday @ Swank -Prey, GW, Glitter & Moondance 7 emo-tions

I told Mr. X that Audrey Hepburn was the third choice behind Jean Simmons and Elizabeth Taylor  for that classic movie "Roman Holiday".  Really, can you imagine it with anyone else?  I can't and neither can Mr. X. The new frock by Prey that is an exclusive @ Swank called Akamu is the perfect sorta dress to fall asleep in on a park bench.... and wake up safe and sound in an American Reporter's apartment... for safe keeping of course!

 I love this retro chic  neutral styled bubble dress carefully embellished  with flowers.  It has a very "swank" high waistline and sleek  V neck multi toned silk bodice in a lighter neutral shade. Akamu is made for maitreya mesh and classic mesh bodies.   I am wearing shoes from Swank by GW called Spring Stiletto.  They are made for slink high feet and come with a color changing hud that offers 5 solids and 5 floral pattern colors.

The necklace by Moondance Jewels called Dew Drop is also an exclusive at Swank and comes with two bracelets, two rings and a lovely necklace.  Life can be quite unexpected-- and wearing this retro chic dress, you might just be the very thing they just don't expect... and that is great fun indeed....

As Princess Anne Said in Roman Holiday...At midnight, I'll turn into a pumpkin and drive away in my glass slipper. Joe replied... And that will be the end of the fairy tale.

Mr. X and Marlyn - *New* Sascha's Designs

There is something about black leather... things go in and out of style... but Mr. X tells me and I agree that black leather is timeless... and this new outfit called Marlyn by Sascha's Designs sizzles.... there is no way to avoid it ----and more to the point... they all can't stop staring!

And I love these sleek skin tight mini  shorts with their high waist and the asymmetrical crop  jacket with luscious silver studs.  The jacket has  a big silver button on the high neckline that beckons.... to be undone....Marlyn comes in black, choco, gold, pink, red and silver.  It is made for all mesh and classic mesh fit bodies.

And--- don't forget the boots with silver studs... they are made for slink, maitreya and belleza feet....and  they are fabulous.... aren't they....

Mr. X and Green Tara -3-Eye Designs and {Letituier} & Isa d'orable @ Swank

I asked Mr. X where is the  shaman... is everyone a shaman...  and then the fog of enlightenment descends... slowly like silver silvers of the moon... where everyone is a philosopher... everything is  divine... and most simply put,  everyone can turn a blind third -eye... to this subtle , intangible SL world... and yes... I found the most amazing find...  by 3-Eye Designs called the  Ruins of Tara..... that is an exclusive @ Swank....

For me,  तारा, tārā is the goddess of regeneration and hope... and I  dream on her and with her... like the great mother, she surrounds us... in an eternal embrace. Green Tārā, (śyāmatārā) is known as the Buddha of enlightened activity... and, for me,  SL can be, or should I say  is an "enlightened" or shall I say, enlightening(!) activity.  This fabulous sculpture and garden by  3-Eye Designs comes with  8 poses and 4 meditation poses...  that brings peace and  tranquility....it perfectly rendered, prim light and a must must have...  It will be one thing I will keep always.... 

Green Tara ... as radiant as the full moon she obscures pride and  ignorance... desire and attachments... hatred and anger... a  saviouress of compassion and beauty... she waits... and this  Green Tara is  is serene and beautiful... I wait as always, for Mr. X with  calm now.

This gown called Chinese Dragon Kiss is by Isa d'Orable she has many items -- equally as unique at this month's Swank (to be blogged later) -- I just love this gown that has a color changing hud and is compatible with mesh bodies.

I am also  wearing Taema Hair hair by {Letituier} that is an exlusive at Swank. This avant garde hair reminds me of a temple with its gold wired embellished buns  that rise like a Stupa...  in the light of  dawn.  This hair comes with a color changing hud and is compatible with mesh and non mesh heads.

Mr. X and Grace [ZEX] & Glitter @ Swank

I told Mr. X this new dress by [ZEX] called Grace begs for an exclusive enclave... one that is so exclusive that residents are prohibited from parking their pick up trucks in their own driveways.... I sorta like that! So much more early to bed than Miami Beach... and that is ok too.

Grace is the  perfect dress to explore the mixed breed classic Palladian and antebellum plantation style house that is called Coral Gables.  This eccentric manor's gardens are well worth a gander and the hat that comes with Grace is sure to protect you from the sun. As a matter of fact, the hat and matching shoes come with a matching 20 color and pattern changing hud that you can match with this dress.

For me, nothing says summer like a cute backless dress... that is sure to keep you cool when things "heat up"!  And, Grace doesn't disappoint. It is made for mesh bodies (slink, belleza, mairtreya) as well as fitted mesh bodies. It has a lovely color changing hud that offers both solid colors in this years trendiest colors as well as floral and zig zag abstract patterns... giving you tons of options.  It is like 20 dresses in one.

Grace also comes with a fabulous necklace, earrings and bracelet in chunky goodness.  I have used the new Swank poses called Emma by Glitter.  So Mr. X, meet me by the Venetian Pool on de Soto Blvd for a drink... and afterward... perhaps.... we will make a splash!
