Vengeance & Mr. X - and Blackjack Hunt at ghee

Sascha Designs has just released an elegant fitted mesh gown called Vengeance... perfect for making someone eat their heart out for you! This gown comes in silver, gold and black.

Fitted Mesh is a technique in which an avatar's collision bones are used to add further deformation detail to clothing. In other words, it allows you to adjust your body using body shape sliders in the appearance editor resulting in clothes that can adjust to customize your avatar's body shape and style.

The shape of Vengeance, a mermaid styled gown has been created in an evocative way. If you zoom in from above your boobies will be fully exposed. If you are demure and innocent in nature like me.... (Mr. X loves these qualities) there are three options that obscure "the view" so to speak.

The first is a lace top, my favorite, the second is a lovely sash that drapes across your shoulders and the third are Art Deco bows made of lace.

Alot has been written about the power of vengeance. I want to be indifferent to vengeance. It's degrading. Not having a spirit of vengeance protects me, internally.

It's summer, and ghee has had a makeover, with a new main store building, a new outlet discount store, a lovely park housing their new gacha cafe, and a new home for Jupiter Motors, manufacturers of the finest performance cars on the grid!

To celebrate all the newness, ghee has created a Summer Essentials collection of 21 co-ordinating pieces that you can mix and match in a myriad of ways from casual to cocktail, all in summery black, white and a bold yellow floral pattern. ghee has made the Summer Essential Collection into a hunt! All 21 items in the collection are hidden around the ghee sim, priced only 10L each! All you have to do is look for the lucky blackjack playing cards.

Mr. X and Black Holly - Eshi Otawara and Lea 18

Mr. X loves when I dress provocatively Avant garde. Immediately, I thought of Black Holly designed by Eshi Otawara... it is sexy, glamourous and avant garde all at the same time.

The skirt is composed of overlaid panels of ornamental needlework of diamonds and sequins almost in the shape of sand dollars found in the ocean. Each sea flower is crowned with an alluring ring of whispy feathers that float gracefully with each movement.

The top of the dress with its interlocking shell like flowers is made with patches of appliques and almost iridescent textures is sure to beguile and will be remembered long after you log out.

The back of this dress is not to be missed with a jeweled chain that cascades down your back with grace and elegance...

The gorgeous feather hat makes this outfit come alive. Black Holly also comes with drop earrings and a matching ring that echos the skirt in design. The necklace is from Black Jewels another design by Eshi that needs to be featured here soon.

Mr. X and I are off to Lea 18 to see what is evolving... we are not telling but it is spectacular... so why don't you pop in and see it for yourself!

Off to the Races.. New Release by Sascha Designs

Mr. X invited me to the Kentucky Derby... oh what a treat... and left me a box with a note... "this new 1950s inspired dress is so very chic and will look stunning on you...a classic for a classy gal"

Betty Black Polka Dot Dress

This dress reflects Christian Dior's soft rounded "new Look" that took this decade by storm. Betty is a perfect example of 1950's elegance with a ballerina length hem and a cinched waist for a delicate, feminine hourglass look.

Betty White Polka Dot Dress

I love the flowing full circle skirt and cinch waist; they are so sexy in a feminine way. The form-fitting material clings perfectly to my "natural" curves and the gloves add the right touch of elegance.

Betty Black White Dress

As for the finishing touch, hats were still very popular in the early 1950s and became important to complete an outfit... and this hat does.

Betty- White Mix

Who do we admire most in this decade? Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn come to mind immediately as style icons of this decade and beyond.

Betty Polka Mix Dress

Sipping on my Mint Julep made with bourbon of course-- after all, we are in Kentucky, with a dash of mint and sugar syrup; Mr. X and I enjoy the formal gardens before heading to "Millionaires Row" where we will wait to see which horse wins "The Run for the Roses"...then on to the Preakness and Belmont...

Oh What a Mesh... Photo Studio that is & group gifts

Throw out all your photo studio's a new version of the Mesh Studio by Sparkie Harland has arrived... and it is a dream come true because it does just about everything imaginable and more.

Best of all you can add your own ao's and textures (full perm only). What makes this studio unique is that you can organize textures and ao's within the panel and on a hud. You can move and stretch textures with the touch of an arrow for the perfect shot. You can also rezz a prop that allows you to enhance your photos with the touch of a few buttons. This studio is easy to use and comes with helpful note cards that make things crystal clear!

The poses options are amazing because you can scroll through them or choose a 5 second cycle. This studio then allows you to move the avatar around using the directional arrows in the big red circle in any direction and also 360 rotate. You can auto rotate using the buttons under auto scroll. You can also add one more avatar to this studio and manipulate the poses to create new poses together.

A series of particle effects come with this studio that add atmosphere. In addition the studio has directional and ambient lighting built into the studio that offers a choice of lighting colors, radius and rotation. If you have favorite lighting settings you can also load them into the studio as a preset. The facebook button, instagram, flickr and photo edit takes you to websites via a drop menu making uploading your favorite shots easy. As you can see from the photo below, there are tons of fabulous options that this studio offers... this is just the tip of the iceberg!

Another May gift... by ghee is called the Candy Dot Dress. This cute spring shift is light and breezy. I love the combination of chartreuse and powder pink... they evoke the feeling of spring.
