Mr. X & Imani - Topazia at The Instruments

Cool winds off the Okavango Delta...an absolute miracle, a beautiful, incongruous, pristine wetland area in the middle of the bleak heart of the Kalahari.  Just like this life giving delta fed by rivers from the highlands of Angola, I am wearing the new exclusive at the Instruments by  Topazia called Imani.

Imani comes in five tribal inspired colorful patterns and has a sexy slit all the way up one side of the dress...its also backless. The pattern of this gown is similar to batik, a dying method over wax that creates a pattern. 

The batik method made its way to West Africa when the Dutch enlisted West African men to beef up their army in Indonesia.  This artform made it back to West Africa.

Each dress has bold, repeating, intricate motifs set against backgrounds of varying hues.  Each dress is striking. Imani also comes with a fabulous headscarf that adds authentic African inspired chic to this look. 

Imani is a girl's name of Kaswahili origin that  means "faith" in English.  Mr. X and I have great faith in our relationship and in most people we meet in SL and in RL -- and tonight Mr. X and I will journey to the delta to listen to the sounds of Africa. Since this is the Instruments....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lB7S2DEuIoc&list=PLDD83A739D79D7395

Mr. X and Tamara - New Round at Sneak Peek thru Oct. 5

Mr. X told me I have two moods.  One where I want to emit light and the other, when I want to absorb it.  Today, I want to walk in the light of a mystical forest... and hunt for treasure.  And, what a treasure I found at Sneak Peek's new round through October 5.

I love this flirty tunic top with it's arcing panels of vibrant colors in lime green, white and black by !Finale Couture called Tamara Pants and tunic.

The black spandex cropped pants are perfect with this flowing tunic that has a tribal vibe.  The skin is the group gift skin at October's 4 Season Skins, you still have a few days to get it and this is a skin worn with or without tattoos not to be missed !

Wyntreaux and Mr. X - Lyrical B!zzare @ The Instruments

Mr. X told me  that striking the right note to harmonize with his busy social calendar ...  it imperative.  I told Mr. X that  I am wearing a dramatic patterned  dress that echos Eastern European embroidery  called Wyntreaux by !Lyrical B!zzare.  This is an exclusive at  The Instruments  with the theme Road to Ethnic!

The dramatic pattern of Wyntreaux with it's intricate embroidery in gold and silver thread it is a traditional backstitch pattern or Holbein stitch elegant and amazing.  It is  a peasant motif and has  many magical and mystical  meanings. It is the right choice every time, day to dinner or to take a stroll in the park amid beautiful fountains.

A beauty in a grand hall... in a beautifully made tunic styled dress with puffy sleeves and a slim waist  embellished by gold and silver threads that tell our fortune... year after year... love  upon love... and yes, Mr. X ..... yes..... Because this is for the Intruments, I leave you with this...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=issQMeNinIQ

Mr. X and Coquette At The Instruments

The soft nights of Havana --- beckon... I remember when Mr. X and I wandered down the cobblestone streets... the sea wind was rising and the fresh salt air breeze swirled around us with the hint of rain.

Beautiful blue eyes, a gorgeous braid that was tossed about one shoulder, my layered maxi skirt by Coquette an exclusive at  The Instruments swished about... Mr. X told me the skirt was as insouciant as I was!  

The off the shoulder midriff blouse is just right for this cute outfit called Havana that is offered in two tops - white and dark and many skirt colors with either a silver or gold chain belt in Lush, Brick, Brown, Blush, Rain, and Pina Colada.

I told Mr. X to stop worrying that it looks  like rain.... Things have a way of going right when you expect them to... The sun always seems to come out when I  wear Havana by Coquette exclusively at The Instruments. Because  it is the Instruments, I leave you with this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8kxCB8GMt0

Mr. X and Scheherazade - Ghee Exclusive at The Instruments

Many years later, I visit the moment in my dreams. The lovers stand on a small street lit up by colorful food stalls.  Samosas, chaats, namkeens, the pungent aroma of aloo tikki.  Gaily painted elephants pull carts and brahma bulls wander aimlessly.

I remember there was a boy selling nuts on the corner. He roasts the nuts in a portable stove.  The flame is reflected on his chest. It looks like the boy is holding an armful of light.

This is how they begin. Just for a walk at first. Talking. Exploring the simple things. He takes her places and shows her things that she has never seen before. She finds him stimulating. He is a new world she cannot wait to discover...and conquer his heart. She thinks, it will not be difficult.

She longs to be his Scheherazade... the storyteller of One thousand and One Nights....to get in the mood I am wearing this opulent outfit by Ghee called Scheherazade that is an exclusive at The Instruments that is running through September.  Matching shoes and jewelry complete the Arabian Nights look. And because this is for The Instruments, I leave you with a piece of music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQNymNaTr-Y
