Mr. X and Liz Glam, Firelight and Cheeky Ink @ Swank

“But what is the heart, madame? It's worth less than people think. it's quite accommodating, it accepts anything. You give it whatever you have, it's not very particular. But the body... Ha! That's something else again! It has a cultivated taste, as they say, it knows what it wants. A heart doesn't choose, and one always ends up by loving.”  Colette, The Pure and the Impure

I told Mr. X that it is so curious: one can resist tears and 'behave' very well in the hardest hours of grief. But then someone makes you a friendly sign behind a window, or one notices that a flower that was in bud only yesterday has suddenly blossomed, or a letter slips from a drawer... and everything collapses.  And. I need that now...  this new dress by Liz called  Glam is amazing especially when combined with Cheeky Ink  and Firelight Hair called Antoinette.

I love the artful floral tattoo by  Cheeky Ink called Vakrasana Tattoo made that comes with an omega applier for  Maitreya (yay) and Belleza and Slink bodies... there is also a tattoo for classic bodies -- no mesh needed.  The tattoo has lavish and detailed artwork in 4 different grades of color that embellishes your arms, neck, and stomach... I loved that it worked perfectly with my gown!  This gorgeous hair is by  Firelights, another find at Swank... called Antoinette... I love the sassy flip... it comes in so many colors... and has a bright and natural option.

This "Glam" Gown with has a  deep slashed neckline and is punkishly couture... I love the look with its rivets and sequins... and better yet it comes in a few other colors... silver and red is also amazing...  my  favorite, and Mr. X agreed was the black with the golden/silver studs... it is like an  oasis   where you just want to take  refuge... or... suffer.... oh la la...  the choice is yours... Mr. X... what will it be?

Mr. X @ Swank - Byrne + Sonatta Morales, Ghee and LA BoS

There is something down to earth about Hollywood style... Mr. X and I love Clara Bow -- the original "It" girl... and even more... the look of Louise Brooks... that sultry silent film star that was a 20th century Jazz age muse, flapper, and bad girl!   Just like this sexy monochromatic  dress by Byrne in Mono (it also comes in cools and hots) appropriately called Lulu in honor of that silver screen  bad girl that is an exclusive @ Swank.

I love the detail in this dress -- Lulu with is a deep flirty plunge  dress that has a deep sexy plunging  neckline and leg line... replete with images of the goddesses of the silver screen... think innocent - Clara Bows,  doe eyed Lillian Gish, exotic Norma Talmadge and naughty Louise Brooks also known as Lulu.  When you wear this mesh number, heads will be turning!

So Mr. X, I believe that the great art of films does not  consist of  descriptive movement of the face and body but in the movements of  thought and soul transmitted in a kind of intense isolation...  it is like  SL sometimes... intense and isolated... hot and cold and you always...

Golden and Mr. X... New Sascha 's Designs @ Swank & Jumo Hair

What can I say Mr. X --- gorgeous in gold... and I feel like a movie star diva!   This gown iscalled  Sumptuous Gold Gown an exclusive @ Swank by  Sascha's Designs is elegant, a little retro with the high flaring sleeves and I am  a fabulous silhouette and,  as  Mr. X admitted, I am utterly beguiling when wearing it.  This is the new exclusive @ March Swank by Sascha's Designs... a must have.

Best of all it is made for belleza, maitreya (yay) and slink mesh bodies.  It also has a few add on flexi prims to add a dash of romance to this sexy vintage gown that I think the likes of  Lana Turner would have loved...  I wore another headdress too by Sascha's Designs... so  cool called Ziegfeld Headpiece at  her main shop so cool.

Just like a script from the 1940s... I think to myself... and say to Mr. X.... "anytime you got nothing to do and lots of time to do it, come up!"  

And, he replies... " You think you know something, don't you? You think you're the clever little girl that knows something. There's so much you don't know. So much. What do you know, really? You're just an ordinary little girl living in an ordinary little town. You wake up every morning of your life and you know perfectly well that there's nothing in the world to trouble you. You go through your ordinary little day and at night you sleep your untroubled, ordinary little sleep filled with peaceful, stupid dreams. And I brought you nightmares! Or did I, or was it a silly inexpert little lie? You live in a dream. You're a sleepwalker, blind. How do you know what the world is like? Do you know the world is a foul sty? Do you know if you rip the fronts off houses you'd find swine? The world's a hell. What does it matter what happens in it? Wake up, Charlie! Use your wits. Learn something."

Mr. X and Fiaba New Fellini & Jumo

Today I felt spring in the air... sweet and subtle but there with tiny white snowdrop flowers pushing through the snow. I love this time of year watching the snow melt and the air warm and the way leaves and trees, plants and flowers slowly wake up after a long winter's sleep and come back to life.

This gorgeous new gown by Fellini called Fiaba that is made for slink and maitreya bodies has a colorful necklace of leaves and flowers is perfect for early spring -- wearing it I feel like the beautiful daughter of Demeter and Zeus, Persephone, the goddess of spring. Her story is one of abduction, love, grief and celebration. 

Persephone was a young goddess that lived apart from the others and delighted in picking flowers in the woods.  She was honored as Kore, meaning “Beautiful Maiden.”  She was Demeter’s daughter, and Demeter loved her truly.  Hades, the God of the Underworld wanted Persephone to become his bride. Afraid that Demeter would not allow her to depart to the Underworld with him, Hades abducted Persephone while she was picking flowers.  

Demeter, upset that her daughter was gone, went out to the ends of the Earth to find her child.  Demeter soon learned that Zeus allowed Hades to marry Persephone. Grief and fury overwhelmed Demeter when she heard the news. Demeter halted all plants from flowering and ripening. She created winter for the first time. Zeus couldn’t let the Earth die so he allowed for Persephone to return home if she had not tasted food in the Underworld.  Unfortunately Persephone had eaten a number of pomegranate seeds that bound her to the Underworld, one month per year for each seed.

Each year when Persephone returns to the world from the Underworld, the earth again is alive with new growth.  There is dancing and singing, and celebrations of the new life and the return of Persephone.  In the late fall, when she has to go back to the Underworld, the world gets quiet, cold, and forbidding.   Winter is when she is gone.  For when she is in the Underworld, Demeter takes away the gifts of grain and harvest until she returns.
