Mr. X and Melody... New Luxe Paris and Jumo @ Swank

We stepped into the garden... shadows all around us. Bougainvillea. Pink and Blue cedar. How many shadows slipped along the walls or whetted the leaves of century plants?  The night palms were clattering like hungry bowls... do you remember the crazy whistling of the island peepers?

We walked hand in hand to the water... walked back... and looked deeply into each other's eyes.  You told me I looked like a goddess in blue in this new gown that is an exclusive @ Swank called Melody made by Luxe Paris.  It ripples in blue sequins like the waves at high tide.  It is made for maitreya, slink and fit mesh bodies.

I love the new Beehive Hair in white ombre by Jumo, it is elegant and retro and altogether timeless.  And, the new rainbow jewelry by Jumo is fabulous... I  love the chunky necklace and drop asymmetrical earrings called Bellatrix also by Jumo that are trending big time on the runway.  With the multitude of flashing colors, this necklace can be worn with so many things -- and looks great with most colors!

Mr. X --Reel DOWN - irrISIStible, Letituier, Luminesse, Glitter Dream @ Swank

1920s - 1940s Hollywood (and onward) boasted a bevy of women who exploded onto the silver screen, not only for their striking beauty but because of their confidence, style, and verve. They were dreamers, pioneers, and yes, feminists, women in the spotlight whose ballsy, modern and even ribald retorts still have us smiling.   A dame that knows the ropes isn’t likely to get tied up. 
- Mae West -- Mr. X likes that!

I love this new look by Irresistible...  it is glam beyond...  and an exclusive  @ swank... look at the hair and all the details...   two top designers made this look  Letituier and,  irrISIStible ---  and   yes, Mr. X...  A 41-inch bust and a lot of perseverance will get you more than a cup of coffee – a lot more. – Jayne Mansfield

I do adore this hair by  Letituier called  Sigma it is beyond whimsical...   I love it... uber coolio...  in all colors... get it @ Swank -- and Exclusive! 

I adore the necklace and drop earrings by Luminesse... they are so opulent...22 kt gold and onyx --- such a fabulous combination... so well done...   After all.... "I’m selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best. –Marilyn Monroe

For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone." Audrey Hepburn

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."

Raindrops fall like jewels and I will never forget the way you looked at me when I appeared in this cool rocker look ... with a dash of ruffles so sweet and  then, the long long lace up leather boots... that just beckon to say... let's dance... and then... well,  you know me... use your imagination... all you SL  peeps are good at that!!! I know I am... or why else would I be here and still intrigued ... really  !

Well, Wicca's Wardrobe is one reason why just look at how fabulous Nemea is.   I am still here, not as much as I use to be... but  never worry, Mr. X and I are still here and more...   RL  takes some  time... and now, I , now  I must make sure  I give my readers the best of the very best  I do always  but  I will edit and I do that in RL so this  will be a joy....

I am  feeling somehow like a tiki party... with that crazy Hawaiian music... I can smell the soft sea  breeze... taste the pineapple and  revel in the luau...aloha  vibe.... and, yes,  feeling suspended in the best way... wearing Wicca's Wardrobe....
