Mr. X and Rune - Giulia Design and Glitter @ Swank

The room smells like heavy zware tobacco and brandy... that lingering smell that only comes from dark fired Kentucky and Algonkian Connecticut air-cured tobacco leaves... the moon hangs as a crescent and the wind is down to a whisper... like deep water music that echoes... I do miss Mr. X.

Through the window of my library, I look for Mr. X... how I long to hold him in my arms.  I have taken care to dress extra special... in the most gorgeous gown by Giulia Design called Rune that is an exclusive at Swank.  Just look at the detail in this gown and how it ripples and flows... it is almost an embossed look that is oh so very Swank indeed.

 I especially love the red flower at the crest of the ruffle and the diamonds embedded on the sweetheart neckline... so much detail... Mr. X will surely swoon, and I like that!  This gown is made for Slink and Maitreya mesh bodies and comes with a beautiful necklace, bracelet, and ring.

Mr. X and Carina - New Fellini Couture

Yes... it is on the wind... in the scent of the air... spring has arrived... and with that Fellini Couture, one of the most artistic creators on the grid  has created a joyous new gown for mesh bodies (slink, belleza, maitreya and classic mesh)  called Carina... when you wear it you will blossom like a flower... and all the  bees will come buzzing!!!

Carina comes in black, blue, white, pink and red with matching flowers... each shade is exquisite. I feel as bright as a blue bonnet and as gay as a spring breeze ... I can't wait for the daffodils to bloom in April... it has been a long winter... and this flirty frock makes me feel like dancing on the wind...  look at the detail and attention... it is utterly amazing and a must-have for a spring fling!

So Mr. X... are you ready... for spring?   We shall no longer wander lonely like winter clouds... but walk hand in hand --- besides a  lake glistening blue... with moonlight dancing on the water... as Rumi said.... " the garden of love is green without limit and yields many fruits other than joy or sorrow. Love is beyond either condition: without spring, without autumn, it is always fresh."

Mr. X and Belatrix - New Jumo @ Sense event

Wearing luxurious lace, satin and silk I wait for Mr. X in a new gown by Jumo called Belatrix... it is gorgeous.  I wait for him by the sea and feel the salty breeze against my skin... the skirt of this gown that is made of netting and embellished by Battenburg Lace rustles softly...I am watching the shifting color of the sea and sky... in the distance, I hear the horn of a ship... and I know Mr. X cannot be far away.

I love the shimmering tight corset styled top... it comes in four different colors -- each one has its own special glimmer... wearing it I tell Mr. X I feel like a beautiful mermaid.  I love the pattern it makes and the silhouette it creates juxtaposed with the lace and netting of the skirt of the gown.

I have paired this gorgeous gown with a few more products from Jumo including the  new necklace and earrings set called Belatrix, plus the Silken lips made for regular, letuka and catwa mesh heads and Power eye shadow.  The hair is also by Jumo and is one of my favorites called Alessandra because it is so long and regal.

This gorgeous gown is made for Maitreya, Slink and Venus shapes.  The gown, jewelry and hair all have fun color changing huds.   So Mr. X as I watch the last light of day fade, I am expecting your arrival at any second... please hurry and don't be late!

Mr. X and Damask...Ghee @ Sense through April 8

I love the feel of soft silky damask with its evocative floral pattern that is a classic.  Ghee gives damask an update however with her form-fitting Damask Suit that is made for Slink and Lara (Maitreya) bodies.  The Damask Suit comes in boy blue, graphite, iceberg, lavender, mist, and rose.

I love the detail in the jacket with its velvet collar, cuffs, and button.  And, those pencil-thin slacks make my legs look oh so long and sexy!  Mr. X loves the way the pattern swirls on this outfit... I like that fact that you can dress this outfit up or down and that it is good for almost any occasion... you will definitely turn heads!

I have paired this with another exclusive from Ghee, the enameled Rondo necklace and earrings.  This adds the right amount of saucy dash to this look and it even comes with a color changing hud so you can match it with the Damask Suit along with many other items! These items are available at Sense through April 8 and then will be at the main store.

Mr. X and Melody... New Luxe Paris and Jumo @ Swank

We stepped into the garden... shadows all around us. Bougainvillea. Pink and Blue cedar. How many shadows slipped along the walls or whetted the leaves of century plants?  The night palms were clattering like hungry bowls... do you remember the crazy whistling of the island peepers?

We walked hand in hand to the water... walked back... and looked deeply into each other's eyes.  You told me I looked like a goddess in blue in this new gown that is an exclusive @ Swank called Melody made by Luxe Paris.  It ripples in blue sequins like the waves at high tide.  It is made for maitreya, slink and fit mesh bodies.

I love the new Beehive Hair in white ombre by Jumo, it is elegant and retro and altogether timeless.  And, the new rainbow jewelry by Jumo is fabulous... I  love the chunky necklace and drop asymmetrical earrings called Bellatrix also by Jumo that are trending big time on the runway.  With the multitude of flashing colors, this necklace can be worn with so many things -- and looks great with most colors!

Mr. X --Reel DOWN - irrISIStible, Letituier, Luminesse, Glitter Dream @ Swank

1920s - 1940s Hollywood (and onward) boasted a bevy of women who exploded onto the silver screen, not only for their striking beauty but because of their confidence, style, and verve. They were dreamers, pioneers, and yes, feminists, women in the spotlight whose ballsy, modern and even ribald retorts still have us smiling.   A dame that knows the ropes isn’t likely to get tied up. 
- Mae West -- Mr. X likes that!

I love this new look by Irresistible...  it is glam beyond...  and an exclusive  @ swank... look at the hair and all the details...   two top designers made this look  Letituier and,  irrISIStible ---  and   yes, Mr. X...  A 41-inch bust and a lot of perseverance will get you more than a cup of coffee – a lot more. – Jayne Mansfield

I do adore this hair by  Letituier called  Sigma it is beyond whimsical...   I love it... uber coolio...  in all colors... get it @ Swank -- and Exclusive! 

I adore the necklace and drop earrings by Luminesse... they are so opulent...22 kt gold and onyx --- such a fabulous combination... so well done...   After all.... "I’m selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best. –Marilyn Monroe

For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone." Audrey Hepburn

Mr. X and Liz Glam, Firelight and Cheeky Ink @ Swank

“But what is the heart, madame? It's worth less than people think. it's quite accommodating, it accepts anything. You give it whatever you have, it's not very particular. But the body... Ha! That's something else again! It has a cultivated taste, as they say, it knows what it wants. A heart doesn't choose, and one always ends up by loving.”  Colette, The Pure and the Impure

I told Mr. X that it is so curious: one can resist tears and 'behave' very well in the hardest hours of grief. But then someone makes you a friendly sign behind a window, or one notices that a flower that was in bud only yesterday has suddenly blossomed, or a letter slips from a drawer... and everything collapses.  And. I need that now...  this new dress by Liz called  Glam is amazing especially when combined with Cheeky Ink  and Firelight Hair called Antoinette.

I love the artful floral tattoo by  Cheeky Ink called Vakrasana Tattoo made that comes with an omega applier for  Maitreya (yay) and Belleza and Slink bodies... there is also a tattoo for classic bodies -- no mesh needed.  The tattoo has lavish and detailed artwork in 4 different grades of color that embellishes your arms, neck, and stomach... I loved that it worked perfectly with my gown!  This gorgeous hair is by  Firelights, another find at Swank... called Antoinette... I love the sassy flip... it comes in so many colors... and has a bright and natural option.

This "Glam" Gown with has a  deep slashed neckline and is punkishly couture... I love the look with its rivets and sequins... and better yet it comes in a few other colors... silver and red is also amazing...  my  favorite, and Mr. X agreed was the black with the golden/silver studs... it is like an  oasis   where you just want to take  refuge... or... suffer.... oh la la...  the choice is yours... Mr. X... what will it be?

Mr. X @ Swank - Byrne + Sonatta Morales, Ghee and LA BoS

There is something down to earth about Hollywood style... Mr. X and I love Clara Bow -- the original "It" girl... and even more... the look of Louise Brooks... that sultry silent film star that was a 20th century Jazz age muse, flapper, and bad girl!   Just like this sexy monochromatic  dress by Byrne in Mono (it also comes in cools and hots) appropriately called Lulu in honor of that silver screen  bad girl that is an exclusive @ Swank.

I love the detail in this dress -- Lulu with is a deep flirty plunge  dress that has a deep sexy plunging  neckline and leg line... replete with images of the goddesses of the silver screen... think innocent - Clara Bows,  doe eyed Lillian Gish, exotic Norma Talmadge and naughty Louise Brooks also known as Lulu.  When you wear this mesh number, heads will be turning!

So Mr. X, I believe that the great art of films does not  consist of  descriptive movement of the face and body but in the movements of  thought and soul transmitted in a kind of intense isolation...  it is like  SL sometimes... intense and isolated... hot and cold and you always...

Golden and Mr. X... New Sascha 's Designs @ Swank & Jumo Hair

What can I say Mr. X --- gorgeous in gold... and I feel like a movie star diva!   This gown iscalled  Sumptuous Gold Gown an exclusive @ Swank by  Sascha's Designs is elegant, a little retro with the high flaring sleeves and I am  a fabulous silhouette and,  as  Mr. X admitted, I am utterly beguiling when wearing it.  This is the new exclusive @ March Swank by Sascha's Designs... a must have.

Best of all it is made for belleza, maitreya (yay) and slink mesh bodies.  It also has a few add on flexi prims to add a dash of romance to this sexy vintage gown that I think the likes of  Lana Turner would have loved...  I wore another headdress too by Sascha's Designs... so  cool called Ziegfeld Headpiece at  her main shop so cool.

Just like a script from the 1940s... I think to myself... and say to Mr. X.... "anytime you got nothing to do and lots of time to do it, come up!"  

And, he replies... " You think you know something, don't you? You think you're the clever little girl that knows something. There's so much you don't know. So much. What do you know, really? You're just an ordinary little girl living in an ordinary little town. You wake up every morning of your life and you know perfectly well that there's nothing in the world to trouble you. You go through your ordinary little day and at night you sleep your untroubled, ordinary little sleep filled with peaceful, stupid dreams. And I brought you nightmares! Or did I, or was it a silly inexpert little lie? You live in a dream. You're a sleepwalker, blind. How do you know what the world is like? Do you know the world is a foul sty? Do you know if you rip the fronts off houses you'd find swine? The world's a hell. What does it matter what happens in it? Wake up, Charlie! Use your wits. Learn something."
