It is 1948 and the war is well over... A time for hope, again. There is always hope, whatever your decade! For me, hope came in the form of this cheerful honey yellow colored dress with a fabulous tulle pattern called Tulla by Sonatta Morales.
Hands down,Sonatta Morales is the best vintage designer in SL and she proves this again and again with her classic and evocative period dresses and gowns that range from the 1920s- 1950s.
Courage to stand -- again. Passion to stand apart... and be noticed... again and oh la la in Sonatta Morales new dress called Tulla you will be noticed. It has a faint rainbow glimmer in the swirling black pattern. The dress is a classic fit with perfect pleating and a flair skirt over a pencil skirt in honey and black... sweet as sugar pie.... Mr. X loves his sugah pie :P -- how can he resist? This dress is beyond a classic.... it simply is.
Think now or 1945 --- alive again -- "make do and notice" Should I arrive in this fabulous yellow and black skirt and top made with a swingy cotton fabric that gives me ample room for all my feminine attributes.... I think so -- and all eyes will be on me... because it has a timeless style quality that pulls at our heartstrings.... and recalls days that are idyllic.
I see myself by a punch bowl surrounded by a flock of men.... beyond polite --- but knowing that they all want to dance the Lindy Hop........ or the Jitterbug with me.....

Retro Fling & Mr. X - New Release - Rayne/Holy Shirt!
It ís the perfect patch of daffodils. Between the weeping willows. Looks out over the pond. No one ever goes that way. You never take anyone either. Only your favorite people. To your secret spot. I take Mr. X. And, I suggest you do as well (no way my "Mr. X !!") .... and wearing a perfectly flirty dress... by Rayne aka Holy Shirt called Retro Fling and to me this is renewal and I like that idea.
I take Mr. X to the daffodil fields --- (he knows the fields I mean)..... Sometimes to laugh. Sometimes to cry. Sometimes to just be. And to wear this flirty new tulle skirt. It has a sexy black slip skirt and a bustier top replete with polka dots and a fabulous wide belt with little polka dots -- love this detail -- that sets it all off... Mr. X loves this look...because it is deceivingly demure. (Moi?)
As for makeup October 4 seasons and her new eye shadow and lashes....Flossy Eyeshadow -- Equaltity (love it) and Enchanted mesh eyelashes -- Forest. It is so much fun to mix and match the eyeshadows and eye lashes because at the end of the day they give you an instant couture look!

Mr. X and Princess Amethyst *New* TWA & Muse
As soon as the heralds depart and the door is closed I fall into a frenzy about my dress. Dark purple I think. It has got to be dark purple, an imperial color trimmed with gold. After all I am the Princess Amethyst ! I have chosen the new release by White Armory called Royal Perpetua Gown in purple (of course) ! It also comes in a series of other opulent colors.
The Royal Perpetua Gown is certainly fit for a princess or a formal event... it comes with a lavish full neck piece, and waistband that is decorated with gems.... Amethysts of course. I love the celtic dragon pattern in gold -- it is simply empowering.
I have combined this gown with the Maiden of Tuatha earrings and necklace a new release by Muse.(not worn is crown and veil that is entirely fabulous). Dressed in Royale Perpetua opulent gown I wait in the presence chamber. He tells me I shall be an Autumn Bride.... I think ok, "My Lord" autumn is like a second spring when every leaf is a flower. I trust in nature... and he like Mr. X is someone I will garner to the end of time.
As an Autumn bride I am wearing a garland of grape vines and grapes by D!va and the new eye shadow and lashes by October 4 Season Skins called Enchanted Grape and Lavender Dreams...not to mention the elegant necklace and earrings by Muse.... what could be better than that for Princess Amethyst..............
An autumn Bride.... forever autumn.... reminds me of something... a chill in the air and a warm fire in my heart... I await you Mr. X.... as we will walk a path of golden leaves......

Battle Scars and Mr. X .....
Floating on the roaring cosmic wind... as streaks of teal, luminous green and electric white swirl around me... hitting my cheeks with almost an an abusive force... making my heart pound madly. Every fiber of my being is on full alert.
My head spun back for a mere second .... as the creature approached... every hair stood at attention as the adrenaline coursed through my battle multiated body. I wondered... and thought... this is it. I am going to die.
Being a woman... and a flirt, I thought, why don't you just talk to him ! Ladies you know what I mean. I found out the creature was kind... like Mr. X. The creature told me that I was a bright star in the darkness of night... alluring in my own battle scared way... lessons of life perhaps... the hard way...
I have fallen, prey for Prey. Cyber Chic includes a luminous green layered shift, sexy bra top and armored plates for the shoulders and a fascinating leg "gismo" as well as gladiator heels.
The skin is the new Cyborg Skin by October 4 Seasons called Battled and Damaged. This skin also comes in a "beauty" rendition... but today, I am feeling like a "road warrior" and this skin suits me fine.... and --- if you dare... it will suit you fine too -- it is X approved -- I told him I am "borg" resistance is futile! And speaking of futile don't miss his new build at Lea 18...Cocytus Dante's 9th circle of hell... resistance is futile!

Eve and Mr. X - New - Prey, October 4 Season Skins & MUA Poses!
I wait for Mr. X in the princedom of Ubud. The prince lounges in the in the emerald hills of the mystical island of Bali overlooking the translucent ocean - where women dance to enticing chants and bells as clear and new as the morning of the world.
In the distance; I hear the exuberant, clangorous gamelan and I am immediately entranced. The air has a pale green cast---the moisture suspended in it picks up the pervasive glow of verdure. Everything here is green and azure. The prince of Ubud knows I have arrived.
My surroundings appear all the greener for the scarlet hibiscus colored batik skirt the prince has sent me... he tells me his name on the sweet incense of the tropical breeze and I inhale his essence.... it is "X" rated!
I love this summer skirt in the best batik fashion and tropical leaf top and leaf arm bracelet by Prey called Eve... when you wear it... there is a sensual innocence that it exudes. Prey also is running a contest for stylists with great prizes listed at the end of this blog. I am wearing ghee's new Dove strappy heels with this -- they are a must have for this summer and come in a rainbow of soft pastel colors.
Mua has come out with exclusive new poses called Euridice that have an asian flair that are offered at Event@ 1st.... I love them. The pack comes with 10 unique poses nameste.
I paired all of this with the new skin by October 4 Season Skins as well as with her new eyeshadow and mesh lashes... they are simply a must have. So Mr. X Prince of Ubud... send in the palquin.....
