Mr. X and the Red Queen - irrISIStible @ Swank

The Red Queen... of Hearts.... you know her...and you know where to find her... “In a Wonderland they lie, Dreaming as the days go by, Dreaming as the summers die: Ever drifting down the stream- Lingering in the golden gleam- Life, what is it but a dream?” 


'To the Looking-Glass world it was Alice that said

"I've a sceptre in hand, I've a crown on my head.

Let the Looking-Glass creatures, whatever they be
Come and dine with the Red Queen, the White Queen, and me!"'



Then fill up the glasses as quick as you can,
And sprinkle the table with buttons and bran:
Put cats in the coffee, and mice in the tea
And welcome Queen Alice with thirty-times-three!'



'"O Looking-Glass creatures," quoth Alice, "draw near!

'Tis an honour to see me, a favour to hear:
'Tis a privilege high to have dinner and tea
Along with the Red Queen, the White Queen, and me!"'





'Then fill up the glasses with treacle and ink,

Or anything else that is pleasant to drink:
Mix sand with the cider, and wool with the wine
And welcome Queen Alice with ninety-times-nine!'

Mr. X and Bo Peep - *New* Sascha's Designs and Jumo Hair

When I think of a sweater dress I think of cozy and sexy at the same time... Mr. X loves the soft texture of cashmere under his fingertips...so when I saw Bo Peep by Sascha's Designs, a gorgeous sweater dress, I knew I had to have it.


Bo Peep has finely textured cables in the sweater and comes with  a peek a boo midriff crop top and a straight A-Line skirt.  Bo Peep is made for classic bodies in 5 sizes and comes with alphas. I was able to tweak my Maitreya Mesh body to wear this chic classic design perfectly.

Bo Peep comes in six pastel colors from white, pink and beige to blue, mauve and grey.  I love the fact that is comes with a color changing hud for the scarf.  Although I love all the colors this dress comes in, I was in a white mood today and mixed it with the beige scarf which is really more of a nice warm cream color.

Mr. X has invited me to his new chalet high in the mountains where the air is scented with pine and your breath crystalizes on the cold winter air....up here the stars seem brighter on the dark black winter sky... we are waiting for the Northern Lights to guide us home....that resplendent light show -- mother nature's fireworks...

Mr. X and Colette - *NEW* Jumo

Pick up the phone Mr. X and say something sweet to me... I am waiting... for you at a beautiful ballroom with my dancing shoes on! Please please tell me that you will join me !!  I am in the dancing mood because of the new gown called Colette created by Jumo... it is spectacular !  She had outdone herself this time!


Colette is made for slink, belleza and standard size bodies. I am wearing it with my Lara Maitreya body without any trouble...thank god for alpha's.  This svelte gown also has a very sexy bare back... that adds to its allure.

Colette comes with an amazing hud... it offers four different patterns in a  basic background color palette of peach, pink, purple, blue and yellow.  All counted, Colette has 20 different color choices for each of the four patterns.  My favorite is the bird pattern... it is just gorgeous.



Two of the patterns are more abstract and offer an artful blend of colors. There are two patterns that are more abstract; one reminds me of sequins and the one shown below is an artful abstract that reminds me of the great paintings by abstract expressionists of the mid 20th century.


The fourth pattern has an oriental vibe to it and is just lovely.  Each of the four color options is prettier than the next.  This is the "blue" version.

Colette's hud isn't done yet with its offerings as you can also choose to make this gown a solid color from black to red, teal to yellow and much more as there are a total of ten solid color offerings.  Colette also comes with two earrings... one is smaller than the other and creates a dramatic effect.

Mr. X and Lily of Hollowdell - *NEW* !!SMD!! /White Armory and Emo-tions

Mr. X... tell me how all this, and love too, will ruin us or it will give us joy...I am a feather in the wind. To me you feel like a promise, an escape, a coming home....Tell me about the dream where we bath in an azure sea and slowly dress in soft silk red and gold and dance on a soft silken carpet before we fall into each other's arms and into a dreamless sleep.... do you remember?


You and I Mr. X we are not like a tree where roots have to end somewhere, we are like a tremulous melody that wavers on the wind... floating to the next adventure... as we wend our way through the currents of life... I  think of  you as a temple... with strong walls and sharp angles like your wit.  Think of me when you smell sandalwood incense at midnight and know I am near.


I love this new gown by !!SMD!! that reminds me of a combination of gown and sari with its wide silk trim skirt and tiered  artfully belted overskirt and short paisley patterned vest that reminds me of the wood block prints of Moghul India... wearing Lily of Hollowdell  you are fit for a Sultan! Lily of Hollowdell  is compatible with mesh bodies, I am wearing my Maitreya Lara body with it!


I have paired Lily of Hollowdell  with the fabulous new hair by Emo-tions called Stella.  I love the long braid that is embellished with leather and the soft  tendrils that wisp around my face.  The hair is made for busty or not busty avatars so you don't have to go through tons of adjustments!  Stella comes with special appliers for Catwa and Lelutka (worn) mesh heads as well as appliers for classic heads. Many color hud options are available. I think that Stella is really great for many types of looks in particular, medieval and roleplay.

The Vision ...Mr X - Virtual Diva Couture, Park Place & Circa @ Swank + Emo-tions & Jumo

Recently, I bought the cutest house to play in... it has been Years since  I bought a house... I haven't gotten rid of my old and favorite house (and never will)... it is far too beautiful and well done by my dear friend Satir DeCuir. (https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Arab-Moroccan-Summer-Palace/318505) for the curious. For those really curious, feel free to visit my sim to see it and the pool... you won't be sorry!  My new house is more of a romantic cottage... a wonderful place to spend time sorting inventory and unwinding... and dreaming of Mr. X.  The new house is by Pamela Galli.


I found a black classic leather chaise with ao's for her, him and couples at Swank by Park Place along with a white pine accent table with country french styled legs.  I placed a SpitzMiller gourd shaped red lamp on it. The lamp casts a soft  "light" --can't you picture yourself curled up with a good book (yes the paper kind) and almost nodding off for a snooze at dusk?  Park place also offers a selection of low prim plants, matching rugs and a lovely heart wall hanging that is perfect for February. This also comes with a shag diamond black and grey matching area rug.  The table is also available in walnut.

A second set (Kiss Me) to be found @ Swank by [Circa] includes a modernist set of couches shaped like giant lips in red and black that come loaded with ao's for couples and singles as well as "kissing benches" and a modernist bombay shaped table with an oriental floral arrangement, a book and vase. The set is completed with a series of abstract patterned red and black rugs, a choice of red and black curtains and a trendy wall sculpture... "to the moon and back"... in red and silver that helps to meld all the colors of this set together.


I love the cute goth influenced black velvet dress I found at Swank called Vision by Virtual Diva Couture.  The off the shoulder look and the wide belt at the waistline with it's distinctive cross makes Vision stylishly dark! The dress is made for mesh bodies.


Vision comes with gorgeous  triangular shaped beaded drop earrings in onyx, pearl and turquoise. I couldn't resist wearing the new Thunderbird Necklace called Taipa by Emo-tions (there are other pieces that come with it as well).  I love the story of the Thunderbird, a Native American legend that has been recorded for centuries. The name Thunderbird comes from the common belief that the beating of its powerful wings causes thunder and stirs the  wind.

Mr. X and L Amore Snow - Virtual Diva Couture @ Swank & Jumo

This morning I told Mr. X that Valentine's Day should be celebrated every day of the year... not just one day. Of course I am a "romantic" -- and, what is wrong with that.  I live by the saying in a world full of temporary things... I am a perpetual feeling.  And, I am feeling romantic today and found a gorgeous romantic gown in white (I love white gowns) at this month's Swank by Virtual Diva Couture called L Amore Snow


L Amore Snow is glorious and is made for classic bodies... it also comes with a maitreya  hud that I used on my mesh body... whatever type of body you have classic or mesh this gown is easy to wear.  I love the romantic rose collar and the floating silk cape with it's rose border that float in the winter breeze.


L Amore Snow will make you feel like a fairytale princess... the gown itself is lovely in silk with a delicate floral pattern.  It is a big formal gown... Mr. X likes that and so do I... you will float on the dance floor without a doubt


L Amore Snow also comes with a lavish floral headpiece that really crowns this look. I have paired this gown with new hair by Jumo called Lindsay and the new fabulous lipstick by Jumo for catwa and lelutka mesh heads and also for classic avatars called Bronx.  This lipstick is so realistically kissable... trust me on that !

Mr. X and Melanie *new* Wicca's Wardrobe and Emo-tions

The tartan, a traditional woollen fabric woven in checkered or striped (plaid) patterns, is a symbol of Scotland’s highland heritage and, even if you are not Scottish and want to celebrate "National" Tartan Day (marking the signing of Scotland’s declaration of independence, circa 1320) then check out the cute new strappy dress by Wicca's Wardrobe called Melanie@ On9 Feb. I have paired it with Lenka by Emo-tions also an exclusive @ On9
Best of all, tartan is the stand out motif of the season so if you want to add a Scottish touch to your wardrobe and be on the cutting edge of fashion then this mini with its cute straps is a must have.  And these tartans come in some of the hottest spring colors to date: green, yellow and orange.  There is also a classic "dark" tartan in black and grey.

Melanie also comes in a design with strawberries or hearts giving a nod to a more geometric pattern. Whatever you choose the dresses have the sharp belting around the waistline and the cute leather collar that pulls it all together. This dress is made for all mesh bodies. I have paired Melanie with the new hair from Emo-tions called Lenka -- It is a fashionable braided long bob cut that can be worn so many ways. It also comes with appliers for regular and mesh lelutka and catwa mesh heads.
