Styles By Danielle -*Final* Gown MVW and Tribute Schedule

Dani Plassitz is a singer and well known fashion designer in Second Life.  Managed by Sweet Sins - C.Y.D. Records Management run by Sassy (Sweetjc.Resident) and Syl.Darcy.  Dani was also a very good friend of mine, someone I trusted and respected; a friend that I was proud to blog for.  Dani had a keen eye for elegant fashion and thoughtful eye for colors, textures and details.

I helped Dani write the note card for this elegant gown I am wearing that was worn by a 2017 MVW Contestant that not surprisingly came in second in this gorgeous gown. I love the delicate gold lace butterfly sleeves complimented by the lace at the hip and floral details of the rich brocaded mermaid styled gown that gently flairs out in a soft green and gold. The hint of lavender at the hemline of the gown is so beautiful and ties the entire gown together.

That late night on December 11 was the last time I spoke to Dani..it was a good conversation... work on note card, some gossip and of course, as usual, we ended up talking about cookies and baking... as Dani was also an excellent cook in RL.  Dani Plassitz passed away suddenly on 13 Dec 2017 when she collapsed in her RL husband arms after returning from the hospital. Dani was complaining that she wasn't feeling well on the Monday so her husband took her to the Hospital on the Tuesday, December 13th.  When she returned from the hospital she collapsed -- her sudden death was because of her very low hemoglobin iron count. It was unexpected and tragic, she was only 45.

Dani Plassitz  has a  soft sweet voice and oh my...can she hit those high notes with precision. She has a Amy Grant or Carole King with a little Faith Hill mixed in her music style.  Her sets are always a pleasure to attend, her sets are an Dani sings an eclectic mix of classic and contemporary songs from Doris Day to Evanescence. Tunes like Constant Craving, Crush, I will go down with this ship, Blondie’s Call Me and Sunshine Raggae by Laid Back to name a few were often performed.  Dani was dubbed the Kate Bush of SL after she sang "Wuthering Heights"  the classic by Kate Bush.

There are two events happening in SL to commemorate and celebrate the wonderful person and creative spirit of Dani Plassitz.  The first is on Sunday, January 8 at 11 a.m. SL time with a Models Give Back Fashion Show.  All models taking part in this walk will be in remembrance of Dani's Fashion genius... Styles by Danielle.  The LM is http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Tranquility/177/130/23

Mr. X in the Teagarden... irriSIStible @ Swank

I await Mr, X in the garden... wearing a lovely new gown called Japan Sakura Soul by irriSIStible that is an exclusive at Swank.  This gorgeous Japanese styled gown is a lovely floral print and is made for mesh and classic bodies. I am wearing it with my Maitreya body and it fits perfectly. It also comes loaded with accessories!

Sakura comes with an elaborate floral head piece and two matching chest pieces that are just stunning. This kimono that literally translates as "things to wear" and there is even an elaborate black and gold obi or sash at the waistline. There is even a lovely umbrella to protect your fair skin from the sun. I love the use of textures and colors in this outfit with the cherry blossom pattern on the umbrella mirroring the flowers on the kimono as well as the flowers in my hair.

So Mr. X shall we wander amid the cherry blossom paths to the ancient grove of bamboo...let us stroll hand in hand through the elegant rock garden at Ryoanji as we make our way to the temple of the golden pavilion to have tea as we watch the sunrise.

Mr. X and “Prachtig.” Broquate by Sascha's Designs

1:53 a.m.   Amsterdam.  I am  for a Het Hok, a “brown” café (the browns are filled with smoke and mismatched chairs; the whites for being seen). Mr. X promised to play a game of chess with me. It is not easy navigating the alleyways of Amsterdam at night...especially when every eye is on me in this new outfit called Broquate by Sascha's Designs.

This outfit comes with a color changing hud for the jacket as well as with an omega appliers system for the sleek black pants and corset styled bodice for mesh bodies, I am wearing Lara.  Broquate can also be worn by classic bodies so you get the best of both worlds so to speak. The jacket comes in 5 various shades that render into a modern abstract pattern.

I move move my rook, as Mr. X's eyes stare into mine, challenging me.I feel up to the challenge in this new outfit by Sascha's Designs... “Checkmate,” I whisper in my best New Yawk accent! “Prachtig,” says the man behind me.

I wipe the court with a Master, swallow my beer, tuck my long hair into my jacket, and at 2 a.m. elegantly pedal off into the night.

"I am enchanted beyond measure by your arrival.  I thought,  Mr. X  -- I did not expect to arrive in such weather and the lack  of hot water...... My dear, sweet lady-  you look as fresh as rain and the mist of the moors.... must I really say Broch Tuarach, or won't it do if I only say Lady Tuarach?" 

I could not believe his words to me....I remember when Mr. X said these words to me.... and I dream of Mr. X and the lavender ladened moors of Scotland... especially when wearing the new gown called Lady Broch  Tuarach Gown by !!SMD!!

Named for an old broch on the land, Broch Tuarach means "north-facing tower" in Gaelic. I love the look of this gown with its lovely tartan in heather, brook or hunter... each one has its own beauty... and comes with a matching sweater  legs and tops that are compatible with all mesh bodies, I am wearing Lara. This gown is also compatible with  regular mesh bodies and classic.

Broch Tuarach also comes with a lovely floral embroidered bodice that is like a  gorgeous medieval  tapestry.  It also has  a handy pouch... that adds to the look of this gown... it is a wee bit fetching... Mr. X told me that he was enchanted by me in this gown beyond measure...and said, yes, indeed, you are my  lady with the hint of a question... 

I remember as i gaze out amid the  moors the night Mr. X said to me, when I talk to you it is as if I was talking to my soul....  there is no question here... I am his Lady.....

Mr. X - Love me Tender... Prism & Luxe Paris @ Swank

Imagine a pre- New Years Eve Party at Graceland -- you know the home now museum of Elvis... what on earth would you wear.... I found two perfect cocktail dresses at Swank that fit the bill!  And, btw, I didn't realize Graceland (all decked out for Christmas) replete with an Elvis Tour was in SL... it is a fun place to visit for you Elvis fans!

The first dress is by Prism called Celebration Holiday Dress and Necklace by Journey and is made for mesh bodies.  I love the silver bra top and the cut of this cute sheath mini; it comes with a festive four fabric color changing hud in red, green, blue and black.  My favorite fabric of this holiday dress is the tasteful black fabric with silver ornaments --  to me this combo adds a touch of sophistication to the look.  Best of all, I love the silver scarf that is worn around the neck... it adds a bit of sparkle  and pulls the entire look together.  You are sure to get glances of admiration wherever you go.

Another find is the holiday dress by Luxe Paris called Halle -- it is simply elegant.  I love the way the bubble skirt drapes gracefully in the richest emerald green that is perfect for the season.  Halle is made for all mesh bodies from slink to belleza to the Lara, which I am wearing... Halle looks great from every angle.

I love this festive frock with its beautiful beaded bodice in green and silver holly leaves... I especially like the big bow that really makes this dress come alive.  The detail in the bow is amazing -- it is studded with beautiful clusters of sparkling diamonds... a girl's best friend!

I am wearing two more finds from Swank, the hair is by Letituier and is called Amy -- I loved the pulled back poofy retro ponytail look with Halle they match perfectly. Amy comes in a number of handy color changing huds, I am wearing Light Brown.  To add a bit more sparkle... I mean, this is the time of year for that, I am wearing the new Silver and Pearl necklace and earrings by Heartsdale Jewelry called Mangalsutra.  I love the gradation of the pearls and the simple disk at my throat.
