Mr. X and Brigitte - *new* Jumo

Quietly I drift into the Bay City Institute for Anomalous Research looking for all manner of curiosities... there is quite a collection here by the "Professor".  I am particularly fond of the Egyptian Goddess Bastet and this is an excellent example of her.  Bastet was worshipped as early as the 2nd Dynasty-- she was also the goddess of warfare in Lower Egypt before the unification of the two lands.  To view this interesting collection I am wearing a new outfit by Jumo called Brigitte in Beaujolais.

Brigitte is feminine with it's gorgeous lace hem and lavishly embroidered bodice set off by a belt with a gold buckle that shows off my slim waistline. This dress is compatible with most mesh bodies.

The bell shaped sleeves of this dress give it interest and the wide brim hat with a lavish bow definitely gives Brigitte a  retro vibe.  I simply adore the necklace that comes with Brigitte.  The elegant mineral pendant  made of a rare multi colored agate hangs on a high quality Brazilian black wax cord complimented by a gold clasp.  The high glitter eye makeup and  royal lipstick is also by Jumo and is made for Letuka and Catwa and TMP mesh heads.

Mr. X and Ava - Styles by Danielle 7th year anniversary!

Seven is a magical number.... The number 7 is the seeker, the thinker, the searcher of Truth (notice the capital "T"). The 7 doesn't take anything at face value -- it is always trying to understand the underlying, hidden truths. The 7 knows that nothing is exactly as it seems and that reality is often hidden behind illusions.  I am celebrating the 7 because Styles by Danielle has been designing fine apparel both formal and casual in SL now for 7 years!

Check out the new 7 year anniversary gown by Styles by Danielle called Ava in black it is sleek and sexy with a V neckline, thin spaghetti straps and a cleverly belted gold empire waistline that wraps around your midriff giving you an elegant silhouette as the floor length A-line skirt drapes gracefully around your figure. Ava is compatible with all mesh bodies and comes in 5 mesh sizes as well.

Ava is undeniably chic and is sure to captivate!  It is sure to land you on everyone's best dress list because it is by one of SL's top formal designers.... A special gift is a gorgeous gold necklace made from Styles by Danielle's stylish logo...it's a must have!

Don't forget to try to catch one of Danni's concerts... her live performances are excellent... she sings like an angel!  Cheers to Styles by Danielle and hopes of another seven wonderful years of tantalizing designs!

Mr. X and Debbie - *new* Wicca's Wardrobe

I mean, who doesn't like pizza?  It is practically a National Dish in America along with burgers and hot dogs!  I told Mr. X tonight was a pizza and beer night... a night to kick back and relax and enjoy the last vestiges of fall foliage.  And, I found the perfect new outfit by Wicca's Wardrobe called Debbie to unwind in that is an exclusive @ ON9

I love the tweed pattern of the slacks and the gorgeous silk floral top and cute crop top sweater with  just the right amount of contrast in the Vintage version of Debbie with the intricately sexy open leg detail and chain effect all the way up my long legs.  The pants are made in  a combination of trendy fall colors... I love the gold tone of vintage best but the deep chocolate brown and matching top in a warm beige of Debbie Autumn is also gorgeous. 

Debbie also comes with a cute crop top and crop sweater just perfect to keep you warm and stylish while enjoying pizza on a cool autumn night with your beloved!   Debbie also comes in several more variations equally as lovely - black and gold and black and rust, etho, indigo, midnight, olive, and vines. Debbie comes loaded and is compatible with slink, maitreya (worn), TMP, venus, freya,isis and classic mesh bodies in 5 sizes.

Mr. X and Clemence - Ghostess @ Swank & LoS BoS poses

I rush to  through the Recoleta on this breezy autumn afternoon. Across the Avenue de Quintana, through Ayacucho and onto Montevideo. I am  moving with purpose in my new distressed skinny jeans with a lacy tank top and stylish cropped leather jacket called Clemence by Ghostess that is an exclusive @ Swank.

There, I hear it again. I have to get ahead of the crowd. They must be headed to San Telmo, the antique district. It's a gamble.Yes. It is where I plan to meet my friends for a chat and a few drinks... a fabulous way to pass a rainy afternoon. Mr. X keeps playing with the lace insets in my skin tight jeans... they are rugged in a very  feminine way.  Add the eyelet styled tank top with a peek-a-boo feel and you will have every eye on you in the room. The leather jacket has fine details such as exquisite quilting on the shoulders with a texture that you can touch. It is made for all mesh bodies.

Mr. X told me as he watched me glide toward him, the tight jeans and lace folding around me, the interior lace of the top sliding against my tan body... I  shrugged and  smiled  knowing that this outfit spoke to him and that he couldn't do anything about it.  "I am the one..." You hear it that time?

Mr. X and Sakuma * New* Wicca's Wardrobe

Emerging from the hyacinth colored woods... all is quite... peaceful... as I make my way to Mr. in this labrinythinian  glade of blue and white... what will he do when he sees me glistening silver, blue and black  in this extraordinary new release by Wicca's Wardrobe called Sakuma at We <3 Roleplay. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Riverhunt/128/139/23

Perfect for role-players, this exclusive is a must have. The sleek texture glows with an inner fire and sheen -- it is really exquisite and these images really don't do it justice.  I love the detail in the belted chaps and the way they hug my legs... Mr. X dreams about unbuckling each strap...slowly in the silver blue heart of his midnight dreams... he tells me that they are quite "vivid" ......

Sakuma is made for all mesh bodies and best of all comes with a color changing hud... I am wearing the blue that also has a silver, black and red sheen to it... each shade is gorgeous and you will surely be the warrior princess when wearing Sakuma.  This is best seen wearing advanced light settings but either way -- this is an amazing outfit!

• I enter the room  wearing this  casually hip new release by Jumo called Nicki that makes me  feel...  so relaxed in these beautifully rendered jeans with just the right amount of wear on them... like they have been through the wash a few times and on more than a few adventures... they are perfect right down to the way they are stitched!

When you combine these worn hip hugger jeans  with a sexy  bandage style sweater with puff sleeves and a plunging neckline and you will feel and are irresistible --- well, that is Mr. X's opinion and I tend to agree... An added bonus to this outfit is the fact that it comes with a heavy gold chain necklace and drop chain rectangular gold earrings... let's face it... some outfits just can't wait to get out of the house and be admired... this is one of them!

Autumn weather is a cozy time of year...the perfect time to sit by a roaring fire and cuddle up on a comfortable couch.  A comfortable and cozy room is especially welcome after a long brisk walk in the "autumn breeze.... speaking of Autumn Breeze... check out "Autumn Breeze by Destiny Style!

Mr. X and the Chic Pirate - *New* Luxe Paris !

Tales of exploring the seven seas calls to me... the wind at my back and the sun in my face... I found a sim called Land of Dreams... it is as colorful as a tropical sunset...dreams of Blackbeard and Captain Morgan...no, not the rum... Captain Kidd and Calico Jack!

What has brought on the pirate inspiration is the new outfit by Luxe Paris.. called Pirate Crop Top and mini skirt.  I love the simplicity of the crop top with its classy turtleneck...It will make any pirate say Arrrgh... a word actually that started  in 1930 with the actor Robert Newton played Long John Silver!

I also love the pencil thin skirt with it's sultry slit that shows just the right amount of leg!  The pattern of the skirt is so cute... who can't resist the nautical theme with it's graceful sailboats and wording that even says "Ahoy"!  This has a definite high fashion look that is completed with a cute leather belt.  A skirt and crop top is a fresh trendy alternative to a dress and is great for daytime and casual evening wear.

Mr. X and a New Art Gallery and *New* Zed Sensations

I have been asked to judge work at a new art venue called Rainbow Painters and I just don't know where to begin as all the art is gorgeous.  The gallery itself is beautifully laid out and this month's exhibition's theme is flowers... god, I love flowers.  The task ahead of me is so difficult. I have to choose one piece of art from "real life" and one from "Second Life".

In addition to a lovely gallery setting on three floors Rainbow Painters hosts many parties and events.  I actually stumbled onto this gallery after receiving an invitation to a performance by Dani Plassitz, she sings like an angel and is also a designer of Styles by Danielle.

I decided to wear a new outfit by Zed Sensations called Amanda-- it is so classy!  Amanda comes with a very sexy sweater dress and a gorgeous coat with gold studs.  I love the low cut zipper on the dress in gold... it adds just the right amount of spice... Mr. X likes that... a lot!  So if the mood strikes you, go to Zed Sensations and pick up Amanda and then go to Rainbow Painters and tour the gallery!

Mr. X and the Enchantress - Muse @ Swank

We were on the move day and night. There were birds of all sizes from golden eagles to tiny wrens.. hawks and starlings. It was an impressive sight in the desolate fertile forest of waterfalls and fairies... spectacular flowers and lush orange groves where the fruit lit up between the dense foliage like drops of gold in the fading sun.

In  this enchanted forest, I am waiting for my beloved Mr. X in a new gown by Muse called Enchantress.  This dress has been created for mesh bodies and comes with a pastel color changing hud. I love it's delicate diamond lace pattern down the front with its delicate rose accents and the graceful cape that attaches to the back of this simply stunning A-line styled gown.

What makes Enchantress magical is the jeweled neck piece of delicate gems and roses. This elegantly wrought jewelry comes with a massive color changing hud. You can change each style of gem in this piece allowing you to create countless looks with it. The texture of each jewel tone is realistic and oh so gorgeous.

Muse has also created Enchantress hair that sweeps classically around your face and into a sweeping bun in the back.  Enchantess hair comes in a natural and a fantasy color changing hud that features a rainbow of colors. There is also a matching crown, sold separately from the hair that matches the jeweled neck piece... that is sure to make you feel... positively... enchanting!

Mr. X and Sascha's Designs @ Swank a shopping expedition

I told Mr. X that one of my favorite ways to pass the time is to go window shopping and to dream of those lovely things that most of the time we cannot afford.  Swank is a great place to window shop and even a better place to buy because everything is not only exclusive it's also affordable.  Sascha's designs has three items at Swank all are exclusive.

Check out  Fury Aubergine with its stunning high collar sure to keep you warm on a windy autumn day. I think you will love snuggling into this exaggerated cowl neckline jacket in  aubergine. Fury Aubergine also comes with a pair of skinny slacks in silk with a diamond studded belt at the waistline.  This combo is elegant and perfect for so many venues.  This outfit is made for classic avatar bodies.

Another find by Sascha's Designs is Palomma Polished Silver Dress this is elegance in motion.  A dress for any occasion, the shimmering jacket with it's architectural sleeves makes a statement... and the sexy dress underneath it is just enough... with its strategic seaming and details like the cross over collar and the shimmer of the sequined  front. This dress also comes in sunburst that is gold as opposed to this pearl and equally as radiant!  This dress is made for mesh bodies.

The final Swank Exclusive for Sasha's Designs also made for Mesh bodies using Omega appliers for Maitreya Lara Mesh Body (worn) is called Norvik Black Outfit.  If you have a Maitreya Mesh Body Lara, you need The Omega Relay to use with your Omega Applier,  is 99 Linden on MP http://slpoweredbyomega.com/instructions/omega-applier-system-kit-for-maitreya

Indulge yourself in a gorgeous PETA approved fur coat this autumn.  Sascha has created a beautiful outfit called Norvik in Black.  I love the soft, luxe, lush black fur jacket with its layers of coziness and decadent texture.  The sleek silk high necked black blouse and the and the silky sleek dress pants and matching slink shoes completes this look. Norvik comes with  two pairs of pants, two tops, a black fur jacket and shoes.  By request Sascha can make all her Non-Mesh outfits, gown, tops, pants etc. compatible with omega for an additional charge of 99 L per outfit.  Please IM Sascha for further details.
