Mr. X and Gaia - *new* Jumo & October 's Lily

Mr. X told me that the right gown can change everything -- your mood, your skin tone and even the way you are perceived...and wearing the new hot off the presses release from Jumo called Gaia, I feel as powerful as that primal Greek Mother Goddess -- the personification of the Earth.

Gaia comes in four soft pastel colors -- aqua, blue, white and pearl...I fell in love with the soft blush tone of the pearl texture.  I love the almost see through lace texture that adds a touch of feminine allure juxtaposed with the daring thigh high slits and the diaphanous bodice that sets a new course in curve hugging appeal.

Gaia comes loaded with opulent star jewelry - a necklace of gold and diamond stars, long classic pearls, gorgeous razzle -dazzle drop star earrings, two pearl and star bracelets, two star rings and even a crown.. I told Mr. X it won't be as daunting to stand in front of so many camera's tonight because I love what I am wearing---- I feel like a star ----

Mr. X and Sansa & Melisandre - Ghee @ The Instruments

The theme for this  round of the Instruments through March 25 is "Game of Thrones" and Mr. X has told me that Ghee has gone all out for this theme and has created not one but two delicious exclusives for this round.

This dress, called Sansa is something Sansa would wear....the strong brave Princess, Sansa Stark of Winterfell who dreams of being a regal queen like Cersei Lannister... in her book of winter dreams she often writes epic stories about  a knight in shining armor that is worthy of her.

Sansa loves her home and is often seen wandering the vales and castle courtyards in her magnificent winter home.  She visits the crypts of her family lighting votive candles and takes solace in this. She has known great tragedy and is evolving in ways that will soon be unleashed.  I love the lush silver texture and the fur hood and sleeves...most of all, I love love love the fact that this fabulous hair comes with the hood so there is no mucking about trying to fit the right hair with the hood!!!

Another exclusive is based on the character Melisandre, the Priestess of the Lord of Light. Melisandre wields her influence on Iron Throne claimant Stannis to inspire a Westerosi religious movement. Never, ever underestimate the power of Melisandre, as she can produce a Shadow Baby.

This red gown is perfect for the woman often referred to as The Red Woman whose soul is magic  with prophecies that always come true...as she intones in a sonorous voice with an exotic accent, "the night is dark and full of terrors"....she is a true firewitch...a shadowbinder and mysterious...."when the red star bleeds and the darkness gathers, Azor Ahai shall be born again amid the smoke and salt to wake dragons out of stone...."

Mr. X and Daenerys @ Yeliz @ The Instruments

Mr. X, this gown by Yeliz called Daenerys is simply exquisite.  Mr. X had to agree... and he added that this dress is pure sensuality to boot!  This is my "bombshell" dress with its' flirtatious cut outs and criss crossed top that makes it a standout at any formal occasion.

I love the pattern on the bodice with its sophisticated details like the scalloped textured fabric and the sweet sleeves in a silk like texture that adds a touch of soft, demure and vixen vibe.

This silk lace evening gown is designed to create a sensational silhouette with the hip hugging style to the floor length skirt that is straight and sexy all the way down to the floor.  Long gowns with a illusion bodices are one of the hottest trends on the red carpet.  So Mr. X, let's drink up before we enter the club--- I know we will get a round of applause entering and that all eyes will be on me.

Mr. X feelin lucky @ FFL and Aphrodite @ Heart Homes

I am feeling lucky in this new find at FFL  called Crocheted Shift Dress by Culco.  I love the sexy lace insets of this dress !   Mr. X says he feels lucky looking at me wearing this stylish dress -- giggles!

I love the macrame designed insets that are in the front and on the sides of this flirty shift dress that can be dressed up or down -- I think it puts a great spin on a "classic black" dress because it hints at a cool boho style.

If you need to decorate for St. Patrick's Day, head over to Aphrodite at Heart Homes, they have made a series of low low prim  trees that are perfect for Saint Patrick's Day.  All tress are copy and low prim.  They are available separately and also sold as a fat pack.

 One large tree has a rainbow pointing to a pot of gold -- the leaves are of course shamrocks.  Another tree has a cheerful leprechaun that peeks out from behind the shamrock tree. The names of the trees are Leprechaun tree with or without pot of gold, End of rainbow tree with dropping coins and more and the lucky charm tree with dropping shamrocks!

Mr. X and the Tempest - * new* TWA and October@ Skin Fair

I went to gaze at the temple we build together ... it has three tiers that I will fill with flowers. We have  painted our temple columns with gold... my darling architect prince tells me that I am a true princess of the dawn... and always, I seem to be waiting for the sunrise and my beloved.  I will wait for him in the shadows of the columns... in the new gown by TWA called Tempest Gown Set- Memories.

And when he arrives -- the horizon sparkles with gold that radiates... off the gold columns... he is my sun indeed.  Today we will bring flowers to the gods... and ask for their blessing... as our future is muddy like the Nile in full rage of spring flood -- this is what the soothsayer of the Siwa Oasis told us...  not long ago...  Siwa it is the same sacred oasis where my cousin, Alexander the Great went for inspiration.... will we ever will find our way...I fear the path is long...and difficult.

I love the  fluttering cape of the Tempest Gown Set- Memories and its lovely bodice with it's criss-cross top and long flowing skirt that is embellished in gold, silver and electrum... it symbolizes strength and dedication...

I paired TWA's Tempest Gown Set- Memories with what is almost my all time favorite  skin called Catalina Papavar that is an exclusive at the Skin Fair by October 4 Seasons. Catalina also comes in two lighter skin tones Blossom and Lily, that I have blogged about for the last two weeks and will for many weeks to come. Like all October's skins, Catalina Papavar comes with 5 make-ups, a natural hair, several eyebrow colors, even a no eyebrow option.  It is compatible with all appliers and can also be worn by classic avatars. I think this is one of October's best skins... the lips, the eye shadows, the natural options are all gorgeous plus it is  so easy to use with all types of styles and looks good in all lighting... she is a master at this... not to mention October's sense of color...just look at the 5 eye make ups and lip colors.  There is even a natural skin so you can add your own eyeshadow and lipstick.

Mr. X - Guys & Dolls - Curious Seamtress at FFL and October 4 Seasons Skin Fair

 Kembri Tomsen the owner of Curious Seamstress specializes in historical and vintage clothing from 1830 through to 1930.  Most of her garments are made in the Victorian style or are from the 1920s.  I just love the glamour of the 1920s so, how could I resist wearing a  heavily beaded dress called Evening Shadows Poofed that is an exclusive at FFL (Fashion for Life, part of the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life).  It  must have weighed a ton to wear... so pour the champagne!  And, even better, something for the guys--- keep reading!

Mr. X tells me that most of Kembri's  designs are based on existing pieces that reside in museums and private collections embellished with her personal touch and sense of whimsy to bring the dress alive.

Interestingly, the Curious Seamstress does not recolor  the gowns or dresses she recreates in SL. Each gown is in its original color, though sometimes she will enhance the  look with a bit of artistic touch up to bring them back to their original state, virtually speaking.

 Kembri considers herself to be a fashion historian more than a fashion designer. In addition to supporting FFL, she also likes to teach others about the history of fashion if they have an interest. And, thank you Mr. X she did not forget you guys... she has made you a period suit..... and, a "California Dandy" at that!  What's not to love ---

And, guys, never fear, there great shoes toooo -  also being offered at Curious Seamstress at FFL.
