Mr. X and Brussels - Swank Exclusive

The theme at August's Swank event is "around the world" and Luxe Paris does not disappoint with its' exclusive Brussels Gown. This is a tribute to Belgium, a country that  has made lace for  600 years.  Mr. X loves the long silk charcoal colored maxi skirt that flows as I walk. The skirt provides the perfect contrast with the floral top.

The floral top is sheer delight -- literally with its semi transparent belled sleeves.  It is a filmy, flouncy, top with drop cut out shoulders and  lace like cuffs giving it a dash of feminine sex appeal. Best of all the  Brussels Gown is compatible with standard avatars and Maitreya, Slink and Belleza mesh bodies.

 So Mr. X shall we wait for the ferry to take us to the island ...I see the ferry pulling into the Fair Harbor... huffing and puffing toward the sinking sun that is low on the horizon... to me as the sea breeze whips my hair around... I think to myself, it is perfect cocktail time... let's have a dark and stormy and remember our adventures on the island and dream of new explorations to come.....

Mr. X & the Ouija Board - Aphrodite @Heart Homes & Indian Summer Hunt @ Ghee

The answers to my questions came fast and furious on this mysteriously fun ouija board called Macabre Soul  Ouija Sofa Set by Aphrodite @ Heart Homes.  Mr. X asked if this was a tool of the devil... a harmless game or a glimpse into a super powerful force of nature...  Even the name Ouija is cast in shadows and mystery... it is said that the creators of this first talking board asked the board itself what it wanted to be called and "Ouija" came through...when they asked what it meant... the board replied... "good luck".... let's hope so Mr. X.

The idea is that two or more people place their hands on the planchette, pose a question and watch as the planchette move from letter to letter spelling out answers seemingly of its own accord. This set called Macabre Soul  Ouija Sofa  by Aphrodite at Heart Homes does not disappoint.  Seated on the comfortable couch, pose your questions and toggle the planchette and watch it move around the board, spelling out your answers.

This set is also fully animated with couples and single poses, plus wacky "horror" poses and even a series of activities like sitting around drinking fine cognac and smoking a cigar!

Mr X - What's Your Punk @ Swank?

Punk started after WWII but really took off in the 70s and since then it has gone thru tons of twist, turns and modifications.  In the 70s the norm was long hair, so punk went short, in the 80s the looks became more masculine to ... in the late 80s glam punk burst on the scene... followed by pop punk and hardcore punk just to add a little more spice to the genre.

I love this hipster British Punk look that I found at Swank called Brit Pop by Keresma.  It is so much fun.  Brit Pop offers  different colored tartan skirts and a variety of band tees in the finest punk tradition.   Royal Stewart Tartan was a popular pattern for  British society and wearing tartan of any kind in an unconventional way is yet another way punks gave the middle finger to British society and to highlight their dissatisfaction with the way things were.

And, when it comes to band tees you have a great choice -- from the ultimate hard core rockers - the Sex Pistols to the Rolling Stones, Oasis, Radiohead, the Stone Roses, David Bowie and even the tragic Amy Winehouse. This dress is mesh and comes in 5 standard easy to wear sizes.

Mr. X and Petunia @ Swank [Modern Couture] & Third Eye

I told Mr. X that I find great solace in the garden... not just any garden... one that melts seamlessly into  the lush surrounding landscape -- an informal garden --- formal in its structure, cared for with joyful plantings created with the eye of an artist.... simply beautiful like this new exclusive gown offered by Modern Designs @ Swank called Petunia. I am wearing it in pink.

Petunia's originate in South America and are from the same family that includes tomatoes, chili peppers and tobacco!  The flower symbolizes anger and resentment especially when they are presented by someone with whom you have recently had a disagreement. They can also symbolize your desire to spend time with someone because you find their company soothing and peaceful.

Whatever petunia's mean to you this gown embellished by this lavish flower in full bloom is sure to cause a rise in blood pressure wherever you go...on another note, according to the urban dictionary... a "petunia" connotates a beauty of great proportions... and that is exactly what this dress does!

I am also featuring a wonderful mesh fountain, another exclusive @ Swank called Eternal Steps Fountain by Third Eye.  This fountain is only 23 prims and comes with a color changing hud that allows you to change the color of the lights of this gorgeously detailed fountain.
