Mr. X Evoking - the Golden Age of Hollywood @ Swank! GW, Vips Creation, !Lyrical B!zzare and Emotions

I told Mr. X there is something so opulently ravishing about red and gold... I like Rococo!  And, this splendid gilded couch is a beauty ~GW~  called Rococo sofa Red.  It  has a lavish gold finish, symmetrical scrolls and curved French styled legs.  The trees, flowers in a vase and chandelier  by ~GW~   is also available @ swank.   All are   fit for a palace... or formal room although I have placed it on my outdoor deck... to make it more interesting and opulent --- naturally !

The couch is finished with tufted velvet red upholstery and is embellished with roses and comes with a variety of poses  for men and women.  Best of all, you can copy it to your heart's delight.  All the pieces shown are available @ March Swank that ends March 31.

The Rococo style was born in France in 1715 with the death of Louis XIV when furniture design became looser than the furniture designed during the strict, formal and austere Baroque era. Rococo was seen as optimistic, light, feminine and exuberant with it's shell, plant and flower motifs.   Rococo furniture was replaced by Neo-Classic furniture with the exploration of Egypt in the 1820s.  By the 1840s the fluid lines of Rococo became popular again in the revival style and became one of the dominant furniture designs of the Victorian era that lasted well into the 1870s.

Because I was feeling utterly "rococo" I decided to include this splendid golden gown by [Vips Creations] it's sequins gleam and glitter  making this gown stunning!  It compliments your unique shape in all the right places and is made for all mesh bodies. Best of all, it is also available at the March Swank event... and it will make you feel like a Hollywood Star.This gown by  [Vips Creations]   is superbly couture -- especially because the back of this gown has a deep long low V cut to the waistline with shimmering satin finish straps that match the sweet and sexy bow perfectly --- it  is sure to put you on the "best dressed list" around the grid.

I have paired this gorgeous gown with the *new* release by !Lyrical B!zarre called Asema Necklace, armlets, bracelets and  a belt.   I love the finely wrought onyx disks inlaid with tribal gold and silver designs and artfully strung together on 24 Kt. gold handmade  link chains.  The hair is a new  design  by Emo-tions called Janne - it is a go to hair.

Mr. X - Jolis Pois *New* Luxe Paris @ Spoonful of Sugar and *New* Jumo

Spoonful of Sugar Opens today and Luxe Paris has two great exclusives at this event.  The first one is called Meadow Crop top tee and skirt and will be sure to chase away the winter blues.  It is made for slink, fitted mesh, belleza and Maitreya mesh and classic bodies.  I love the soft colors and the floral pattern of the top and the side bow on the belt.

This polka dot wrap around grey skirt is super cute.  It makes me want to challenge Mr. X to a game of tennis... knowing what a poor flier I am in SL, I fear  Mr. X would definitely win my tennis challenge... I hear he has a great backhand... but, you know me, I never kiss and tell.

Another outfit @ Spoonful of Sugar by Luxe Paris is  called Jolis Pois  Crop Top Tee and Shorts, French for "Pretty Peas" This is also made for slink, fitted mesh, belleza and Maitreya mesh and classic bodies. The colors are soft and trending on the runways in RL this spring.

I love the colors of this outfit and the side detail in the shorts that compliments the crop top tee. I am wearing the new hair by Jumo called Kristen and the new eyeshadow and lipstick called Doutzen made for catwa, lelutka and omega mesh heads as well as for classic heads.

Mr. X and Zaria - *new* Azul and Emo-tions Lynette

The Hourglass Is Always Half-Full. But, I told Mr. X that  my heart is  totally full when wearing this sophisticated new cocktail dress by Azul called Zaria.. it has a retro vibe look with its high empire waist and streamlined skirt --- look at the way the silk ripples.... and oh yes, puff sleeves tight at the wrist and that magnificent silver rose necklace that  cascades like a waterfall  and is set against an artful floral black lace bodice  --- who could ask for more...

Mr. X informed me that thousands of years ago, mathematicians came up with the golden ratio. Artists (see da Vinci) and architects (see Ancient Egyptians) adopted this perfect ratio and modeled aesthetics after it. At a roughly 2/3rd to 1/3rd proportion it yielded undeniable results…Harmony ----- Intrigue -----A certain je ne sais quoi. Zaria has all these qualities and is a must have!

Whether you are inexplicably lanky or naturally un-lanky, this beautiful high waisted dress called Zaria by Azul is an instant classic.  It was designed to stun. Mr. X  checked the math (as always) ...it does!

Mr. X and Rosemary - *New Wicca's Wardrobe, Emo-tions and Altamura

Mr. X, sometimes it is fun to look like the coolest girl on the grid... and in this sweet scoop neckline two textured mini dress called Rosemary by Wicca's Wardrobe with its criss crossing straps and faded denim accented with sweet retro pink flowers it is easy to do just that!

Rosemary is an exclusive at ON9 and is made for mesh and classic mesh bodies and comes in a variety of options from knitted, stripes and camo to retro and pink flowers -- I love the way the patterned textures accent the stylish faded denim. I have paired Rosemary with the new exclusive hair also at ON9 by Emo-tions called Stars -- it is such fun hair to wear with its somewhat unruly braids and goggles giving it an updated steam punk look !

I am also wearing the new Bento Head called Monique, and exclusive at Skin Fair along with Grace eyeshadow and the Sophia body by Altamura.  Just out today are the bento head piercings for Monique. On my Lip is the new unisex group gift from Altamura for March, the bracelet was a prior group gift.

Mr. X get ready to Samba in Jumo! MVW Uruguay

I have often told Mr. X that I like bright warm colors... yellows, oranges and reds... and the new exclusive by Jumo made for MVW representing Uruguay's Carnival outfit called Marissa, Spectre of the Sun is composed of yellow feathers with red and orange highlights and I  was immediately attracted to it..  It is spectacular... and fun to wear... you will feel as brilliant as the Sun itself.

Marissa is made for classic bodies but can also be worn with mesh bodies, I am wearing it with Lara. Mr. X tells me that Carnival in Uruguay is uniquely different to anywhere in the world. This colorful Carnival  starts in January and continues through March with tablados or nightly shows across Montevideo.  It is the longest Carnival in the world !

I love the elaborate  jeweled bottom and top of Marissa and the lavish feathers that flow in the breeze.  The crown is elegant and the back piece sparkles with sequin.  This is a beaded, feather, sequined spangled spectacular ensemble that even comes with jeweled sandals and a jeweled sun staff. Just like in RL, making this outfit must have been a labor of love because it oozes authentic detail.

I have paired this outfit with another new make-up release by Jumo called Doutzen eyeliner and lipsticks that is an exclusive @ the Skin Fair.  There are six eyeliners to choose from and 20 lipsticks mostly in the red/pink family.  This make -up is  made for classic and mesh heads: Lelutks, Catwa and Omega and can also be worn by bento heads.

Mr. X and Dora *new* Ghee & Emo-tions

Togata is a public garden perfect for quiet contemplation... and Dora the new dress by Ghee that is a feature @ Designer Showcase is perfect for a garden meander... because to me it is an instant classic. And, I see the Goddess Bastet...  the Egyptian  Goddess of  Cats....what could be better than that MEOW! This  wrap around makes me feel  sexy! Bastet, like Mr. X thinks that  Dora is the "cat's meow" because it is a modern take on a fab classic  wrap dress that is  synonymous with a Connecticut girl like me, Diane Von Furstenberg.

The origin of the dress dates to the 1930s Mr. X loves that  when designer Charles James took the fashion world by storm with  dresses like the  wrap around -- at that time that verged on Obscene !  Oh La La.  The original concept of this dress was a sheath that "spiraled" around the body clasped @ the waist...  Ghee updates it with a  lavish bow that has a color changing hud.

Dora by Ghee comes with fab  wedge sandals with a color changing hud that matches this classic dress...  Von Furstenberg noted, "I made easy little dresses.. not  necessarily a silhouette  she perfected it and so has Ghee... with this collared  mid sleeve dress that wraps around your  torso... Proper and yet -- seductive. Mr. X is on his knees and I  like that !
