Mr. X and Summer Fun - *NEW* Ghee - Summer Chic, Jumo Hair & Studio Craft @ swank

There was the summer of love...  but I am not in the mood for that... I am in the mood for the chic cool vibes of "The Summer of Tiki" -- I can already hear the tunes of  the  Quiet  Village... and this new outfit by Ghee that is a exclusive at Summertime at  Designers Showcase that comes in three separate pieces including flat metallic lace sandals for mesh feet.

This entire  ensemble  makes me think of the soft sophisticated tiki vibes.... I love these crop Stripey Linen Shorts that hug your hips with their cute cuff at the knee and textured medium stripes -- they are  classic... and must have for summer fun... This is made for  mesh bodies including maitreya which I am wearing and comes with a cool color changing hud in six colors for the belt. And, make sure you pick up the matching metallic lace  sandals  for maitreya, slink, belleza mesh flat feet -- these sandals rock and also come with an amazing  color changing hud.

The Broderie Anglais Top is a crop bra top with an exotic criss cross across your midriff... X my heart ladies -- it  is so evocative... and sexy... and cool for those hot summer nights... you will be cool.... the boys will surely be hawt!

The Silver Seahorse and.Mr. X! *new* Jumo Louise and Heart Homes @ Swank

There is no doubt about it I love summer beach parties that start as the sun sinks into the horizon and the first stars come out.  The heat of the day cools down, but the sand, is still warm... I love to wriggle my toes in warm sand... who doesn't!!  And Aphrodite @ Heart Homes has created the most elegant beach party table, the Silver Seahorse for four or eight people to celebrate summer. It comes fully loaded with a ton of AO's for your friends to enjoy.

The devil, as they say (is not Mr. X) is in the details and the Silver Seahorse from Heart Homes delivers...even the wine glasses are trimmed in silver!!  I love the elegant place settings and all the accessories like the ones pictured below.  This table not only allows you  to sit with 20 aos, you and your guests can also actually dine on a myriad of delicacies!  This table is a summer fun must have.

I am wearing the *new* fabulously casual outfit by Jumo called Louise... I am not fond of jeans in SL but these jeans are not only perfectly textured they have Flower Power and Star Power.  The jeans come with an amazing color hud -- you can change the color shade of your jeans as well as choose jeans with stars or beautifully embroidered flowers on the  hip and lower bell bottom leg... they are as awesome as a mai tai cocktail at 2 in the afternoon!

I love love love this sexy front tie shirt that has a kimono vibe because of its  bell sleeves that match the bell in the jeans perfectly.  This top also has a massive hud that lets you choose from  a series of  three different patterns in four separate colors in addition to solid colors... the options are endless and way beyond this blog.  Just get it... it is fun!

And, let's talk jewelry... shall we... Jumo makes some of the best... it is always big and showy... I like that.. the jewelry comes with Louise and really pulls it together with a  heavy gold chain (wish I had it in RL) necklace with a flower and starfish and big luscious pearl -- earrings are also included.

 I am wearing Jumo's new Wet Iridecent Eyeshadow...  there are six eyeshadows in this set for  classic heads, plus catwa and letuka (worn) mesh heads. And, look  saluting with  Heart homes.... and Jumo!

Mr. X and Kedja - *New* Wicca's Wardrobe

The powerful become corrupt. The corrupt seek more power over those who don't have it...and, those that don't have it, seek power. And, all this time Kedja watches -- each chain links her to a series of coincidences... or, is there such a thing as coincidence?

Kedja --is a catalyst that stirs the wind for change. Most of the time she forbids herself from participating in the antics -- she is a shadow witch that hides in the light of water. The combination of her lineage and the dark magic of a far away land that is part of the cult of voodoo makes her magical prowess far beyond the imagination of the minions she observes.

Some believe she is an idol... a goddess of greatness -- others see her as a silent sentinel guarding all that is sacred. They believe that she will destroy any evil magical threat that is nearby. Kedja has stood for centuries. Watching, without a single move. Watching people get older, strangers that pass by her feet, deep in the night, lovers making promises and then breaking them, the tears of children and joy of laughter, people coming to pay tribute, merchants selling the finest chains that bind the spirit...

Legend says, she will awake when the sun sets over the kingdom and the chains are ready to be broken freeing those that have made  their own prisons. Kedja made by Wicca's Wardrobe is an exclusive @ The Guardians Gatcha Event  through July 31. It is original mesh that is made for maitreya mesh bodies and comes in four colors and has color changing huds. There are also two exclusive gifts so go check this out... like all of Wicca's items, this is beautifully done.

Mr. X and In the Spirit of Styles by Danielle *new release* and Emo-tions @ hair fair

In honor of Dani Plassitz, who left us suddenly in December, a new gown has been released at a new shop totally recreated in her honor.  It is  maintained by her soul sister Alial Allen with help  from others -- it is a tribute and a living memorial and happily, new content  is being created with her sense of elegant style.  Just look at Estelle,  this beautiful gown, lovingly made in memory of her wedding anniversary. What gets more royal than blue and gold... you will feel beautiful wearing it...I did and Mr. X was enthralled.

Hope is the thing with feathers

That perches in the soul,

And sings the tune without the words,

And never stops at all,

And sweetest in the gale is heard;

And sore must be the storm

That could abash the little bird

That kept so many warm.

I've heard it in the chilliest land,

And on the strangest sea;

Yet, never, in extremity

It asked a crumb of me.  

By Emily Dickinson

We miss you Dani... and will wear this gorgeous gown happily... formally or as a bride... it is beauty in motion... as eloquent as you were -- your songs and designs remain a fond treasure in our heart.  This gown with its flowing lace that cascades like an endless waterfall... is made for classic, maitreya and belleza mesh bodies. A huge thanks to Designer friends of Dani that  keep her memory and design elements and style alive.

Holiday @ a Beach Shack with Mr. X -!Ly!rical B!zarre, Glitter, L.A. BoS @ Swank & emo-tions

There is something romantic about beach shacks...their origins go back over 200 years... they initially started out as "bathing machines".  In the 19th c. people got into beach huts on wheels that were pulled by horses to take a dip!  Even Queen Victoria had a bathing machine. It was the proper Victorian thing to do! Over the years, beach huts have evolved into rustic, and not so rustic seaside respites.

The new  Beach Shack from  !Ly!rical B!zarre that is an exclusive at this month's Swank is no bathing machine...look at the great wood texture and lovely stone exterior. This low prim two room beach hut even has a weathered wooden deck. It is hard to believe, furniture and details, the entire house is only 35 prims.

I love the soft colors of blue and white used throughout this fully furnished house.  I love the window treatments in the bedroom and the way the blue quilt matches perfectly with them and the rest of the house's decor. It has a classic nautical feel. And, check out the slated wooden ceiling... it is so well done and adds so much atmosphere to the house.

There is plenty of seating on comfortable cushions, waterproof I hear, so it isn't a problem to take a dip and then come in and sit on them!  Again, everything blends so beautifully in this beach hut making it a perfect summer getaway!  You can also decorate this beach hut as you wish because the furniture is removeable.

Thinking of the beach, I thought of the idyllic beaches of the island of Hawaii... so, I thought it only proper to show off this new summer frock with its scoop neckline, thin straps and oh so sexy fringe with tassels called Hawaii by Glitter.

I love when the back of a dress is as sexy as the front and Hawaii  delivers with a low cut halter back. It is sure to keep you cool while the boys will heat up looking at you!

And, don't miss this fabulous new hair by Emo-tions an exclusive at Hair Fair called Dessia.  After Hair Fair, it will be in the main store.  I love the romantic waves of this hair and the way it frames my face. The small braid is just so sweet.  This hair comes in two versions, with or without a hat (the hat is fantastic a cap very retro 1940s) and also is made for busty and non busty avatars (and, no I am not telling what version I wore!).  Like all of emo-tions hair, this hair has appliers for letuka and catwa mesh heads.

Mr. X @ the beach.... Swank CH, Pink Magic, L.A. BoS

Nothing says summer like the beach...and Pink Magic has made a darling beach scene skybox called Beach Skybox with 33 animations that is an exclusive @ Swank. I love the fact that it comes with a "love" shack, a hammock, fire, and waves. It is easy to rezz with a box... clean and build.

This beach skybox even has a rustic table and two wooden benches and a table ladened with fruit!  I love the cute turtle bubble, sold separately by Pink Magic that has an entire world inside the shell... it is amazing and oh so cute! Pink Magic is also offering a cute Tropical Camp with 31 aos for couples.

Sometimes a one piece bathing suit is more flattering than a two piece because of the lines  the fabric draws on your body... I love this bathing suit called Malaga by Ch's another exclusive at swank.  Check out how the top of this suit has a deep V cut that melt into sexy rings at my hips -- even the keychain cut of the top is uber sexy...

And, what does Mr. X say?  "OMG I cannot imagine the tan lines...."   As I looked at him and replied... "Mr. X, what tan lines?"  (Please ignore rezz box!!!)

Mr. X and Summer dreams --- [Aleutia] and Jumo and Park Place

sometimes... you wait for the stars in the sky... in the summer in the northern hemisphere it is a joy to point out the  constellations... as you relax on a beach ... alone together... and  [Aleutia]  has come out with the most perfect summer set called Jarla it comes with a  skirt boho  and a crop top ---  it is dreamy.....  look at this cute crop top... the pattern  version... so tropical i feel like I am  in .... somewhere enchanting -- where is it for you my dear readers?   And,  the hair is fab, new Jumo hair called Tyra --- this is so  luxe and elegant... a  must have.

 Jarla comes in two versions -- I love both this is an example of the pattern hud... you can mix and match... the hud as always is amazing...there are  6 patterns  and  32 matching  accent  colors.  It is the grace of feeling and the  expression of art that makes  [Aleutia] come alive...[Aleutia] heads to the Islands this tropical season with a gorgeous new set available at The Liaison Collaborative. Available in both solids and prints, the top has a shimmering sheerness to the crop top, keeping everything light as the heat descends upon us all. Paired with a gorgeous new maxi skirt curving perfectly around your hips and flowing to the floor, this is a must have for your summer wardrobe. Both pieces are texture-changeable with the [Aleutia] Signature HUD and an exclusive Maitreya Design.

 Jarla makes me want to  unwind on the beach... It is so  BOHO---  and I found a great chair by Park Place called Ocean  Breeze -- it is low prim, intricate and  it swings and has loads of  ao's for  singles and couples is an exclusive at Gatcha... when you see me in this chair  unwinding in Jarla and in this  fab chair -- you will want  the outfit and chair  in rl and sl!

And, then always... there is  the beauty of the night.... and me and my dreams of Mr. X  a wayward  genius...he is mighty in his desires and totally indolent... like me... brash and ....  coarse and refined...  elegant and.... always, the subject of conversation... or, oops is that me?
