Mr. X and the Zebras.... Park Furniture and Ch @ Swank and New Jumo

All is quiet and I am waiting once again for Mr. X.  There is something simply wonderful about the striking contrast of black and white...and the faux zebra print... peta approved.  I once read an article asking if zebras were white with black stripes or black with white stripes.... 

I love the bedroom offered by Park Place that includes the black zebra chaise at only 14 prims that is loaded with single - his and hers and cuddle animations, there is also an adult  version. I love the Pen and In Drawings (1 prim), Our World Photos (2 prims)  and the black marble giraffe (3 prims).

Animal prints have been popular throughout history because they are exotic and used as a sign of status.    Many zoologists would say that a zebra is white because its stripes end towards the belly and the belly is mostly white. Others would say that a zebra is black because if you shaved all the fur off a zebra the skin is, surprisingly, mostly black.  I love the living room chaise lounges and white laminate cabinet with accessories!

I am wearing the gorgeous sweetheart top and bikini pants by Chi's that comes made for fit mesh, Lara and Belleza bodies. It also comes with a fabulous color changing hud that allows you to change the color of the bow, the top and the bikini pants.  The lace top stockings are by irriSIStible made for mesh bodies.

Mr. X and Sydney - * New* Luxe Paris (A Miss SL gown) and Emo-tions

It is where creatives go to meet their muse... in a ballroom surrounded by malachite pillars and lapis lazuli decorated furniture that is dimly lit by sparkling crystal chandeliers --their glow casting silhouettes of lovely women in grand ball gowns...as they glide on polished marquetry floors...can't you hear the waltz...floating on the evening breeze? I love the new gown my Luxe Paris called Sydney.

I love this traditional ballgown with its sweetheart neckline, spaghetti straps,  and its signature full skirt that sweeps to the floor. It is so romantic. I love how form fitting the bodice and waistline is that is sure to show off my figure.  What really makes this gown a stand out is the lace and hand embroidered floral pattern that is punctuated by a lavish red flower that ties this all together.

I have paired this gown, that looks as beautiful from the back as it does from the front with the new long hair by Emo-tions that is an exclusive at Tres Chic. It has a medieval vibe to it which i really love. Wearing this opulent gown you will master an elegant evening with style and grace. This gown was made for Miss SL Ireland.

Mr. X and Angel Nuriel and Dreams - CWS and new Emo-tions Hair

Midsummer's Eve was once considered a magical night imbued with supernatural powers. It makes me feel like an  angel and so does  CWS in the new release.... Dreams of woman... Lingerie... it is so opulent and beautifully detailed... your angel will be ready for the "fall"!

Midsummer's Eve  has so many magical powers... it is all the moon.....So much so that summer flowers have their own mythical meaning. I shall pick seven different kinds of flowers and put them under my pillow - and dream of my true love.

Midsummer's Eve is synonymous with late evenings spent in verdant gardens. Echoes of laughter resounding long into the night. 

We sing and rejoice that summer is finally here. What a gloriously festive time!

Happy Midsummer!

Mr. X and Fifth Ave. - New Suit by Sascha's Designs @ Swank

Mr. X found a new museum in SL that he told me we must explore. I love art museums in both lives... to gaze upon paintings of masters and discuss the colors, scenes, history and brush strokes for me and Mr. X is pure joy!  And this museum laid out like a real life museum is a pleasure to explore.

Needless to say, the perfect museum outfit is the new suit by Sascha's Designs called Fifth Avenue Suit that is an exclusive at Swank is perfect for a languid afternoon in a museum.

I love the cropped bolero style jacket with silver studs and the wide hat with Jackie O sunglasses that makes Fifth Avenue so sophisticated and sexy. It is made for fitmesh and mesh bodies and comes with shoes, a hat and sunglasses.

Mr. X -- for the birds - splendid and majestic Jumo

Alone in a  sacred valley the daughter of Quetzalcoatl lives...the goddess of wind and learning... she controls hurricanes and dust devils...whirlpools and the waves of the oceans.

She often lonely and often walks the paths of the forest to the great tree. Here she looks to the the west, where mountains rise into the sky... often as the sun goes down she hears a beautiful voice singing from the nearby mountains... she always wondered could it be... could he be --  the prince of the western mountains.

She vows that someday she will meet him. The sun begins to set gilding the mountain peaks highlighting the rich jewel tones of her plumage.  Her wings fly, dance, mesmerize and delight the eyes.  She is hopeful... and luminescent in the setting sun-- adorned with memories of lives yet to be lived and tomorrows to share.

She waits as the sunsets... and golden like a resplendent bird into the sunrise...

Mr. X and Jailie Ghee @ Scala and Emo-tions

 Mr. X and I  love the elegant East West look of the new gown that is an exclusive at Scala  by Ghee called Jailie. Can't you feel the  flow of the  flower sleeves that  billow like an artful haori. They have puffy shoulders and a square neckline giving it a contemporary look and the headdress is pure  joy.

The solid color of the simple sheath gown that billows out like a mermaid dress gives anyone wearing this gown a sleek and alluring silhouette.

I love the use of  the chrysanthemum, or Kiku as it is known in Japanese, on the artful sleeves and jacket of this gown as well as in the fan head dress. The chrysanthemum represents longevity and rejuvenation.  It is also the symbol of Royalty, the Emperor and the Imperial Family.

I wait for Mr. X wearing this gorgeous gown an  haiko comes into my mind...

a tomb of beauty

Memory of Geisha's Heart

Tsunami tears in  albums

Plum Flower temple

Voices rise

From the foothills

The crow has flown away;

swaying in the evening sun

a leafless tree.

Mr. X and Cassiopeia - New Jumo Skin, Eye and Lip make-up and hair

Mr. X... I am confused as to what to wear... what kind of party is it.. who is on the guest list... what is the dress code and, most importantly what is for dinner?

A formal affair of industry titans Mr. X tells me.  Ok, then, I must wear the Cassiopeia Gown by Jumo. This gown is sexy and classy at the same time with  a color changing hud that offers many different colors and three different patterns.  I love the peekaboo crochet pattern in all it's delicious colors.

Tres crochet... this dress is lavished with a beautiful woven top and a deep plunging neckline.  The slender skirt that flounces out a bit at the bottom is embellished with large geometric rosettes that makes it romantically irresistible. Cassiopeia also comes with beautiful gold and silver enameled earrings and a long necklace that sets this gown off perfectly.  I am also wearing new skin by Jumo in Caramel called Taylor with Taylor eyeliners and lipstick that are sold separately.

This is Taylor Cocoa skin that is such a great skin for summer and it really looks good with orange, yellow and blue.  Taylor comes with six eyebrow options making it easy to wear with just about any color hair. The Taylor Lipstick has a wonderful realistic sheen to it and the new exoctic  Taylor eye-shadow that offers six options are a must have. I love the way the orange eyeshadow plays against the skin and matches the gown.

Another beaded version of the Cassiopeia gown has a retro art deco vibe to it... it will make you feel glamourous.  There are many color options for the beaded versions of this gown. I fell in love with the glittering Nile green beaded option although the blue, red, black, purple ... and more are also lovely and at your fingertips with the click of a button!

The hair I am wearing is Whitney Ombre roots blonde also a new release by Jumo. I think she has been a busy lady! The skin is Taylor Frescia.
