I am day dreaming of summer fun...

I love the playful mix of plaid along with fun laces, all of which can be changed independently, giving you a wealth of options.

Mr. X and Phoebe - Wicca's Wardrobe & Emo-tions

Phoebe, a Goddess of the Moon... a star studded Goddess that understands the Delphic oracle and is able to delve deep into the souls of men... this new outfit called Phoebe by Wicca's Wardrobe is so cool right down to the belt with the timepiece for the buckle.  Phoebe is perfect for a 21st century goddess... it will have men wondering that is for sure!  It is where steampunk and sexy meet.

The star of Phoebe is the beautifully detailed corset... it has all manner of proper laces and eyelets... and better yet it has a six color changing hud that also includes three metal changes for the chains on the belt and front piece.   The hud is amazing and allows you to change the color of each piece ---Corset, Corset lace 2, lacing, strap in the front, belt and skirt.  The combinations are endless and fun. You can even take part of the  corset off and  just show the lace corset -- oh la la!

I decided to combine this look with the new hair from  Emo-tions called Denise that is an exclusive at On9 thru June 31. I like the look of the leather cap and the long flowing hair... with a sexy added  pony tail knot in the back with Phoebe.  One thing about all of Wicca's designs, she has an eye for detail and they always look as good in the back as they do  from the front... and Mr. X loves that! I am also wearing the new unisex wristband by Emo-tions called  Focus.

Now you may not be as alluring as  the Goddess Phoebe, (your favorite  SL friend will tell you differently trust me on this!) but you will have endless fun wearing Phoebe...

Ghee @ The Darkness Event through June 30

Sometimes, Mr. X told me less is more. And, wearing this chic elaborately beaded sheath styled gown that is an exclusive @ The Darkness Event, I am inclined, once again, to agree with Mr. X.

I love the sleek, minimal silhouette created by this dress that conjures up visions of grand ladies of the 1950s and 1960s when this style was really hot.  The most popular reinvention of the sheath was by Dior that featured a tailored bodice, nipped in waist and full skirt. Another look created the "vertical line" a more feminine and less boxy type of sheath dress.

A final type of sheath favored by the likes of Marilyn Monroe and Bettie Page was the sophisticated pencil silhouette sheath dress that was fitted much like this gown is to show off every curve! The beaded sheath gown comes in a rainbow of jewel tone colors such as  emerald, ruby, sapphire, onyx, quartz, topaz and amethyst.  and is made for slink, belleza, isis, lara mesh bodies. Tip because of its tight fit, it is best to wear without shoes or feet. Also, ghee has a helpful alpha card for Lara and Belleza Mesh bodies making this a snap to wear.

Mr. X - Yin and Yang - *NEW* Luxe Paris and *NEW Emo-tions Hair and Jewelry

Luxe Paris is made for classic mesh bodies as well as for Maitreya and Eve bodies. All outfits have been have tested by the designers to make sure they work with the alpha huds of Maitreya and Eve. The outfit called....Yin and Yang is a sophisticated summer classic in black grey and white. The trousers drape beautifully  and are utterly elegant in a silk twill... this is very YSL.

I love the vest of Yin and Yang with its deep V cut -- it almost has a  kimono feel to it.  The flower on the lapel... perfect princess seams and sash at the waist will accentuate your figure. Ladies, this is  couture casual... and a must have.   Yes, Mr. X I want an ice cream ... and your buying... and it will be  a big sundae with lots of cherries on top and  creme... and,  fudge on vanilla ice cream... oh la la -- forget the latte... I want ice cream!

I could not resist pairing this with *New* Hair by Emotions called Paola that is an exclusive @ the Vintage Fair.  These long flowing locks and 1960s era retro hat adds to the style of the overall elegance of the Luxe Paris Yin and Yang look -- so   YSL that never goes out of style... this look is timeless.   I am also wearing  feather  earrings and  necklace by Emo-tions called Falcon @We Love Role Play.  I love the  hand wrought silver that is so traditional in Native American  culture.  I feel empowered and elegant and you can wear this with just about any look from role play to  YSL casual!

More Dark Romance @ Swank...

Lost in the deep velvet night....sheltered whispers are all around me... can you hear them? Smooth words, tender words...teasing... beguiling... mysterious. Tonight you will dream a dream of me with no end and no beginning...shattered dreams that bring dark illusions of raven's wings and the sweet sting of a viper.

I love detailed skyboxes that are roomy and empty! Studio Craft has made a gorgeous stone Dungeon Skybox has three large chambers embellished by columns and separated by classic stone arched doorways. There is a runner that runs down the center of the skybox that sets off the stone floor beautifully. The highly detailed stone walls are set off by columns that add a real 3-d look to this skybox that packs a lot of detail for just 46 prims.  The Dungeon Skybox  is an exclusive at Swank.

Another exclusive is the Huldra Bed bed also by Studio Craft. This bed set looks fabulous in the Dungeon Sky Box and comes fully loaded with singles and couples aos and sequence animations...some are X-rated!  The finely wrought iron bed with red satin cover and pillows is only ten prims.  I like the fact that this bed comes with candelabras and deco mesh branches with lights that add so much to the Gothic ambience.

Another bed offered at Swank is the MW Deluxe Gothic Charm Bed.  This bed comes fully loaded with single sit and a series of six X rated couple animations and one series of sleep animations.

This highly detailed bed  by MW Pixel Dust with its charming chandelier crystals, and hanging glass charms and strings of lights and lovely sheer curtains that seem to  drift in the breeze is 27 prims and an exclusive @ Swank.

I am wearing irrISIStible's Delicious Gothic Mesh outfit that is an exclusive at Swank. I love the boots, necklace and pelvis prim that has skeletons embellished with black lace, roses and ribbons on the side prim and on the necklace.  The boots have skeleton heads with chains and are super cool.

Delicious Gothic mesh is made for all mesh bodies and comes with an applier hud for Maitreya bodies (worn) for the gloves and socks. It also has a 4 color changing hud for the dress and a crown of roses. I loved the crown of roses with the new hair by Jumo called Beatrize Hair. The eye shadow called Stylesque is also by Jumo.

Mr. X and Dark Wax in A Greek Vampire Temple @ Swank

My roots are gothic look  and  this June Swank has given me the  opportunity to  just  enjoy my gothic side... and Mr. X  thinks I am almost  irriSIStible !!!   And talking about  irriSIStible    she has  created a  classic gown called  Dark Wax!  I am modeling in it in a new  "Greek Vampire  Temple by StudioCraft that is known for  design, color and  details -- and  both are gorgeous.

The Greek Vampire Temple is at it's very best in Ultra Settings (it renders just fine in  regular settings, no worries). The Vampire Temple has  fine detailed work that reflect Gothic dark dreams.  And, irriSIStible - Dark Wax Mesh Outfit that is made for freya, Isis, Hourglass, Maitreya, Physique, Venus is perfect  to wear here with its' dripping waxy and skull hands, flower and candle.  The roses come with a color changing hud.

StudioCraft notes that  as soon as he details things up, the prims increase because of  the intricate details.  As a builder he thinks about making builds as poor on prims as possible. However, he makes his  final decisions by thinking about his own feelings. He wants to be positively surprised when he buys and therefore creates things he likes and enjoys.

Historically and politically correct?  Not always as StudioCraft points out. In his builds, he thinks that artists have the license to break every law to make dreams happen, unless they do harm to others. as for StudioCraft,  if this creator wants to put bluebirds that don't exist in a white tree that does not exist, he does!  He feels that  as a creator he can make something exist -- because that's the wonder of creation. Anything can happen and it does!

So Mr. X... please meet me... now... and we shall explore our dark romance... oh la la... my candles are  burning and the wax is melting.... and I am waiting......

June Swank - Dark Romance & Mr. X!

The June Swank is now open and  features more than 100 designers with  Fashion, Beauty, Home & Garden all exclusives calling to your Deepest Darkest Love!  The theme this month is Dark Romance.  So get  ready to take a step into the original sins of sexy, seductive and morally dark limits... now Mr. X is intrigued.

It is June and the weather is unseasonably cool.  Sitting alone in my study in the Barclay House that is four blocks from Central Park somehow, I end up daydreaming... I am wearing a new dress by Hot Fuss called Icelyn that is an exclusive at this month's Swank.  I love the trailing lace overskirt on this cocktail dress that defines casual elegance. Icelyn comes with a color changing hud for the sash.

This furniture set is also an exclusive at Swank created by {CdB} or Casa de Bebe.  It is perfect for a classic  boudoir -- you know that private sitting room between the dining room and the bedroom. I love the French style of this chaise which is duchesse brisee (broken dutchess) in style.  It is named because this chaise comprises two separate parts and was used by women for reading!

I love the look of a chaise lounge with its beautifully hand carved arms and legs that is only 15 prims; it is very detailed. This one comes with 18 poses for singles and a texture color changer for the silk throw.  The set also comes with a lovely Aubusson carpet that picks up the color of the chaise and a beautifully carved neo -classic marble fireplace with a  photo.  The black marble table with graceful French legs and a beautiful bouquet of flowers that are also included in the set  complete this romantic room.

I am also wearing two more finds from Swank. I love the way the delicate lace collar and cuffs  embedded with moonstones look with this dress. The collar and cuffs and earrings called Dark Romance is an exclusive by  Heartsdale Jewelry.  I am wearing Lima mesh eyes by Yeux.  These eyes are made for regular and mesh heads and there is a special set of eyes in each package for those with Catwa mesh heads.  Relaxing now, reading my very favorite magazine, KMT, I wait for Mr. X as the sun drops and the soft colors of twilight emerges.
