Mr X and Chi @ Swank

How I love a trip to the fair....  there is a certain romance to the smell of cotton candy and the up and down motion of a ferris wheel...  I found the perfect mini dress that is an exclusive Swank called Yarkarta by Chi that is made for mesh bodies.

Yarkarta comes with gladiator lace up sandals a massive color changing hud that matches the  dress.  The boots are made for slink and maitreya high feet and are a must have with 20 colors!

Ch's  exclusive dress Yarkarta  is made of skin tight curves hugging silk with an amazing hud. You can change the color of the dress with a hud that combines 20 solid and pattern colors in total.  The patterns range from leopard and abstract prints to  floral textures.  The hud also allows you to  can change the metal of the neck chains and harness.  Mr. X really adores the way the side of this dress laces up my thighs... what I like, best is the mix and match color changing hud --- that provides endless hours of possibilities and I love surprising Mr. X!

Mr. X and Constance Stanbury *NEW* !!SMD!!

It is the 1850s. At the mouth of the Baltic lies the gilded city of Saint-Petersburg, lined with ornate palaces and home to the Romanov dynasty. And, !!SMD!! has made the most beautiful 18th century Rococo styled gown called Constance Stanbury in the finest courtly fashion to explore any 18th century SL sim.

Constance Stanbury is made in the finest 18th century Rococo style with a tobe a la francaise consisting of a jupe (skirt), stomacher and low cut ruffled bodice with marked waist and flowing loose hanging back folds, called Watteau folds. This gown is made of light silk taffeta and damask -- historically it came in soft pastels such as this lovely purple or pink that I am wearing.  This gown also comes in blue, black and white, red and teal and is made for Slink and Maitreya Mesh bodies.

The hat is an artful display of lace, flowers and feathers... perfect for a proper lady in the 1880's!  The hair I have on is no longer made although may be available on MP.

Imagine walking the historic streets of this fabulous city. Known as the Venice of the North the wide avenues and grand neo-classical styled buildings are amazing. Nevsky Prospekt is St Petersburg's best known street cutting through the historic center from the Admiralty to the Moscow Railway Station then on to the Alexander Nevsky Monastery. Palaces, cathedrals, theatres grace the streets all leading to the magnificent Winter Palace.

Mr. X and Siri new [Aleutia] & Emo-tions Jewelry "All Those Kisses"

It is the weekend... and what to wear --- is always a question... but [Aleutia]'s new design called "Siri" makes it an easy choice with tons of variation... Mr. X likes that.  This is perfect for gossip and rum at the port of call...later dinner outdoors under soft lights -- the fragrance of orange in the air....

Siri  is a luscious one piece bodysuit that is sleek and sensual and perfect to make a bold statement. The slink silk bodice accentuates the sexy sheer  silk cutouts while the suit hugs a woman's curves in a fabulous fit that will have heads turning.

The first version of Siri is available with [Aleutia]'s signature 30 color HUD.  This hud allows you to mix and match this outfit in solid colors.

The second version of Siri includes 12 flamboyant prints -- each one prettier than the next... plus it has a 30 color  hud for the sheer cutouts giving the prints endless  variety.  Siri is 100% Original Mesh and an exclusive Maitreya Design.  It is available at Cosmopolitan through May 20 and is only 250L For the length of the event!

I have paired Siri with a new jewelry release by Em-tions called "All Those Kisses" (good god, Mr. X knows how I love those!!).  I have a personal fondness for turquoise in both lives and this release is gorgeous with its chunky bracelet, gorgeous oval ring that reminds me of a Zuni  ring and charming arrowhead necklace all in finely wrought silver. It has a Native American vibe... which I love...to Native Americans, turquoise is simply -- life...the earth is alive with all things... no matter how large or small...and this is something we must all respect. An exclusive @ ON9 through May 31.

Mr. X and Roman Holiday @ Swank -Prey, GW, Glitter & Moondance 7 emo-tions

I told Mr. X that Audrey Hepburn was the third choice behind Jean Simmons and Elizabeth Taylor  for that classic movie "Roman Holiday".  Really, can you imagine it with anyone else?  I can't and neither can Mr. X. The new frock by Prey that is an exclusive @ Swank called Akamu is the perfect sorta dress to fall asleep in on a park bench.... and wake up safe and sound in an American Reporter's apartment... for safe keeping of course!

 I love this retro chic  neutral styled bubble dress carefully embellished  with flowers.  It has a very "swank" high waistline and sleek  V neck multi toned silk bodice in a lighter neutral shade. Akamu is made for maitreya mesh and classic mesh bodies.   I am wearing shoes from Swank by GW called Spring Stiletto.  They are made for slink high feet and come with a color changing hud that offers 5 solids and 5 floral pattern colors.

The necklace by Moondance Jewels called Dew Drop is also an exclusive at Swank and comes with two bracelets, two rings and a lovely necklace.  Life can be quite unexpected-- and wearing this retro chic dress, you might just be the very thing they just don't expect... and that is great fun indeed....

As Princess Anne Said in Roman Holiday...At midnight, I'll turn into a pumpkin and drive away in my glass slipper. Joe replied... And that will be the end of the fairy tale.
