Mr. X and the Ice Swan Princess - RFL @ Christmas Expo

Silver bells in the distance ring in the country beyond the stars... it is the place where  Christmas fairies live along the shores of the River of Life.  It is a place where love and labor, repose and solitude, music and silence mingle...and of course it is a place of magic and hope eternal...just like my love for Mr. X....

The fanciful find at RFL that Mr. X bought for me by [HC] called Ice Swan Princess -- is radiant, powerful and sweet -- it is as  uplifting as a winter dove poises and circles upward, without a wing beat, on the cool brisk air.  Wearing this you are as clear and sweet as a ray of light, sweeter than the smallest silver ball of hope... that glimmers in the darkest night with a scent of promise and hope.

This dress in white with its feather wings and snowflake textures is like a light film of snow as delicate as the veil of a  bride adorned for marriage -- it is pure and sparkles giving radiance and hope... to all.   It comes with shoes, and a beautiful snowflake crown and even a snow hud. I have paired this with another find at RFL - a necklace by +M's Avon called Jewel of the Angel

And, don't forget to hunt for the silver bells at the Christmas shop!

Mr. X and Caliope, his Muse - *new* Jumo and October 4 Seasons Skin

When Mr. X saw me today in the new gown by Jumo called Caliope, he told me that I would always be his muse of epic poetry...my heart melted.  Caliope is the ancient Greek goddess known for her beautiful voice and enchanting poems  that delighted  the gods and all of mankind -- Mr. X loves my stories...I hope you do too.  I must say, I am also quite proud to be part of the Versus team, the Editor in Chief and that this magnificent publication won the Best Avi Choice Award in the Magazine Category -- all thanks to mastermind & CEO Shena!  Look for Versus Magazine Readers to join our group !

This mermaid styled gown comes in four fabulous primary colors -- all befitting a goddess muse.  It also comes with pearl, gold and diamond encrusted rings, bracelets and a delicate crown -- this jewelry is so beautiful and can be easily worn with many different gowns. I have paired this outfit with the new skin by October 4 Seasons - Guiselle in  Marigold -- it is a go to skin and is compatible with so many looks -- it is demure and sexy at the same time and comes with 6 make up options and appliers.

According to Ovid,  Caliope was the "Chief of all the Muses" --- just as I am to my beloved Mr. X.  Wearing this opulently textured gown you will be the star attraction --- as Dante noted in the Divine Comedy.....

Here rise to life again, dead poetry!

Let it, O holy Muses, for I am yours,

And, here Calliope, strike a higher key,

Accompanying my song with that sweet air

which made the wretched Magpies feel a blow

that turned all hope of pardon to despair.

Christmas Expo RFL - Ever an Angel + ZOZ combined with October's new skin

Mr. X and I have been exploring Relay for Life SL's 4 sims that are open through Dec. 14 with all proceeds going directly to the American Cancer Society.  There are so many gorgeous exclusives (plus hunts, auctions, entertainment etc) like this gown by Ever An Angel called Incident - Burnished.

The ombre gold and ornate beaded black pattern coupled with the fur stole and  delightfully placed sequins makes this mermaid styled gown definitely "incident material" in a great eye catching way of course -- Mr. X adores this gown  (and me) because the shade of gold reminds him of amber... that is symbolic of renewal.

 I have coupled this gown with another new exclusive at RFL Christmas Expo's item by ZOZ called Snowflake Glitter.  I love these glimmering french polish snowflake encrusted nails that are made for slink & maitreya.  

Speaking of new October 4 Seasons  has just  released a new skin today called Guiselle Marigold.  She is the best skin designer in SL -- this is what Mr. X and I think... and Mr. X is never wrong.  I am showing this with just one of the 5 makeup options --- it is fabulous.  Guiselle has a natural glow with thick trendy eyebrows that beguile.  Best of all, Guiselle Marigold goes with just about  any look that you can  style and comes with 5 make ups plus a natural  makeup making it easy to add additional eyeshadow and lipstick.  There is a special eyebrow arch, special below the belt tattoos and appliers for Omega, Slink & Belleza.

Mr. X and the Winter Queen @ Chrismas Expo RFL Tayren's Fantasy Fashions

Mr. X and I are so excited because  SL's Relay for Life Christmas Expo is open through December 14.  This is SL's major fundraiser for the American Cancer Society.  All proceeds are paid directly to Relay for Life SL and turned over  to the American Cancer Society. There are so many wonderful exclusives like this one by Tayren's Fantasy Fashion called Winter Snow Queen.

I love the regal look of the Winter Snow Queen that comes exclusively in royal purple and is artfully embellished with snowflakes befitting a Snow Queen -- or as Mr. X calls me --- "her royal highness!"  The Winter Snow Queen comes with a shape, skin, hair, a crown, lipstick, earrings, necklace and even fur boots for non slink feet.

This elegant gown comes with a detachable fur lined cape, gloves with a hud for hand poses and even a fur hand warmer.  Make a dramatic entrance anywhere... people will take notice.. and all for a good cause.

Tayren Fantasy Fashion is also offering an amazing silent auction item called  Midnight Snow Fairy.   This luxurious gown comes in two versions... and is one of a kind.   The highlight of the long version is the iridescent cascading snowflake ruffles that ripple on the holiday breeze and the star studded belt at the waist.

There is a warm fur stole to keep you warm, hair and a crown that creates an air of majesty. The icy wings are like points of light in the midnight sky and make Mr. X and the Man in the Moon Smile... so will you when you bid for this great cause.  This comes with glitter eyeshadow and lipstick, boots, forehead tattoo, gloves with a hud, eyes, wings, necklace, two dress styles and a shape & skin.

 Midnight Snow Fairy is Tayren's second option in this auction item.  It is the playful short version of this outfit -- so you are bidding on two complete outfits I love a two for one especially when it is for a great cause. I just love the matching boots... they add to the whimsical nature of this look and I am ready to take flight in this... and bid!

I have featured the group gift skin by October 4 Seasons called Guardian Angel.

Mr. X and the Kiss.....Sonatta Morales @ POE

Mr. X told me that POE (Peace on Earth) has started and runs through January 6.  There are more than 70 designers participating in this popular annual event.  Best of all, everything is free!  Just go to the shop, click the hint giver and look for the globe.  The gift will be within 20 meters of the landing point. I am reviewing some of my personal favorite finds through the month...

Sonatta Morales, the Queen of Vintage has an amazing gift...called Peace Kiss... who can resist that..... as for me, I am looking for Mr. X and the mistletoe!

I love this silk velvet peplum styled 1940s classic dress with its tight bodice and sexy overskirt...whose main purpose is to highlight a mini waist by accentuating your hips... oh la la!  Add the sequin kisses and the fabulous kiss hat and this vintage classic is timeless...and free --- so get to Sonatta Morales Store.... and find it and in the meantime --- get hooked on vintage, you won't be sorry.

Mr. X is pure gold -- new gown at FAD by Culco

Love Scene...  really Mr. X... sumptuous!  Wildly romantic!   Smoke and Shake ... this find at FAD -- is well  --- a cobra goddess  dances with  Mr. X's every  step !  Sometimes he is hard to keep up  with!  I adore gold -- Mr. X told me it is a girl's second best friend... first is diamonds of course!

I love this glimmering gold sequins snakeskin textured gown  called Gold Sequin Gown by Culco.  Mr. X thinks that the way this ("love")  knot  wraps around the front of this gown is like a sexy embrace... he also is entranced by the gown's  deep V neckline and slit up the leg.  This gown's sequins has an  iridescent quality that makes me sparkle up the night and is festive for the holidays -- and it is an exclusive at FAD thru December 28.

Best of all, this gown is as beautiful in the back as it is from the front.... so, Mr. X -- shall we dream.... together... let me think...Sun shimmering......A golden carpet to......different shores & Us... always us...

Finds @ POE - Snowpaws, Beloved Jewlery, KL Couture

Mr. X told me that POE (Peace on Earth) has started and runs through January 6.  There are more than 70 designers participating in this popular annual event.  Best of all, everything is free!  Just go to the shop, click the hint giver and look for the globe.  I will review my favorite finds through the month... so keep tuned!

I am not much for hunts, but this one is fantastic... check out this gorgeous gown by Snowpaws called Arum Lily Dress with a high empire waist and sexy scoop neckline.  The elegant  floral lace skirt  is subtle and beautiful.

The Arum Lily Dress also comes with a bouquet of lilies to wear in your hair that adds to this glamorous look.

I have paired this gown with another find at POE, a diamond necklace, earrings and a ring called  Nola with a color changing hud by Beloved Jewelry.

Another find is by KL Couture simply called Silent.  Beautiful blossoms in silver on baby blue silk is what makes this gown a keeper.   The tiered skirts and  deep slit up the left leg make this gown a standout must have.

The jeweled star pin completes the festive look of this sleek sexy gown. In this gown, you will command the dance floor!  This gown comes with appliers for mesh bodies, lolas and is also compatible with classic avatar bodies... like mine!
