Mr. X and Spey @ Spoonful of Sugar - Sonatta Morales


Mr. X asked me to meet him in the Essex Public House established in 1784.  What kinda girl does he think I am to meet him in such a commonplace... a public house no less. God alone knows what kind of men lurk there... and makes me wonder why Mr. X has insisted.  I will fix him... I will meet him in a new  gown by Sonatta Morales that is available at the Spoonful of Sugar Event that runs through Sept. 25 and benefits Doctors without Borders, a worthy cause if there ever was one.


The new gown that is an exclusive at Spoonful of Sugar  is called Spey. It is a perfect example of a 1950s mermaid style gown with its long sleek silhouette to the knees that shows every curve perfectly before it flairs out with a fluted hemline at the bottom of the dress. I love the way it "fishtails" out and so does Mr. X... I got a whistle and a hug... as he whispered, "what is a girl like you doing in a place like this?"  Smiling I said, why, Mr. X.... I am meeting you!


This gown has been a staple for years for all formal occasions because of its flattering fit and glamorous look. It is in a rich plum color perfect for autumn and is embellished with sumptuous gold beading in a floral pattern down the front of the gown.

Is Mr. X Mysterious... Sascha's @ Swank

This dress has to be one of the most flattering dress of the 20th century. A tight pencil black skirt,  shaped black polka  dot silk blouse that is classic... Mr. X likes that and this is the exclusive dress by Sascha's Designs for Swank  called Abstract Dress Black and white  And, yes,  tonight I have the blues.. why... because I can.

Mr. X pictures a  sophisticated  woman...  that immediately  beguiles him... and, ladies I like that.... perhaps it is all about the hat.....  Abstract Dress Black  by Sascha Designs  comes with a color changing hud and is available for classic (wearing), mesh bodies.
So Mr. X let's go to a far away place... a place where we can just be in the dim lights .... a place where the drums beat... and then there is the heat... shall we dance together in the moonlight...  as van morrison said it is a marvelous night  for a moondance... and god I need  Mr. X and all that ... romance under the stars.....

Mr. X and Sushi Monster Truck by Heart Homes @ Creative Collectors Box

Although food trucks seem to be a new trend in America, they actually date back to the late 17th century when an early  form of them could be found in many of the larger cities on the east coast. Since then, food trucks have taken a  front seat in the world of American street food and are front and center in the part of an ongoing food revolution.  With that in mind, Aphrodite at Heart Homes has created the must have Sushi Monster Food Truck.


It is great fun to watch or to play a master  sushi chef and to make all kinds of sushi.  The truck comes with tons of cooking animations for prep work, chopping, dicing, rolling and even serving !  You can do this work in sequences making the experience realistic and fun. There are 46 animations and 22 props to play with !


 You can also stand and eat all the sushi that you want by touching a sushi item that attaches and then disappears at ease!  You can feed as many friends as you like and even rezz picnic tables and festive lanterns!


Low in prims about 24 and cute on both sides, the Sushi Monster is not only great fun it is a must have!

Mr. X and Ivy - Posh Pixels, OTB and DS @ Swank

A new fun find at Swank is called Hang with the Big Dogs by Outside the Box, designed by Kasslina Moonglow.  This rustic bench can be used inside or out... it is perfect for a porch on a cabin or in the interior of a rustic log cabin.

 The chair has a wagon wheel back and a plaid cushion in a light antique  pine finish.  The bench  comes with two beautifully rendered dogs and a grey tabby cat, a bucket and a sign that says it all... "If you can't Hang with the big dogs, stay on the porch."

And I am also wearing a tank top and leather pants called Ivy by Posh Pixels.  The pants have fabulous details... two zippers and pockets and oh la la skin tight. The pants and tank top are made for classic (which I am wearing) plus slink and maitreya bodies.  Best of all choose from 40 leather shades... yes... 40!


I love the swirling details of the tank top with its spaghetti straps and relaxed fit that drapes elegantly just above the waist of the pants.  Best of all both the tank top and the leather pants comes with an amazing color changing hud in the latest fall colors that range from black into various shades of blue, browns, reds, violets... gold... white... actually 20 choices that compliment the slacks!

Magical Finds @ Swank... HJM

Mr. X and I were looking around this month's Swank and found so many fabulous things perfect to embellish our ever evolving landscape and our homes... yes homes... we have several.  There were so many things to choose from that I thought I would blog a round-up of some of our favorite just to give you an idea of the multitude of things to be found at Swank.  For example, the low prim bird bath by HJM Designs called Nature Birdbath is ideal for any outdoor setting. It comes with flowers, a friendly deer, flowers and grass, a cute little red snail and even a dragonfly that circles the bath. Best of all, of this it is only 8 prims. Touch to toggle sound on and off. The birdbath is mesh and copy.

For a magical mood,  Magic in the Woods also created  by HJM Designs fits the bill with a little elf that seems to have a glint of mischief in his eyes... he reminds me of Mr. X who always seems to have that same mischievous glint!  This comes with a cute little elf sitting on a stump,  two more tree stumps, a mushroom, squirrel, pine trees and grass. There is even sound that you can toggle on or off.  It is part mesh and copy. Amazingly, this build is only 8 prims.  And, no the cranky elf on the stump is not, I repeat not Mr. X!!!

Life's a Bench... TM and LoS BOS @ Swank

There is nothing more romantic than sitting with that someone special on a very special bench and  I found the perfect bench at Swank called Side by Side Rustic Bench with Rocks  by TM.  It   quickly became one of our favorites.  I also love the new outfit by LoS BOS called Torn Up Top and Overalls that is also an exclusive at Swank. It is available for classic and mesh bodies and has a color changing hud for the overalls and the  tank top !


This bench is perfect in almost any setting and comes loaded with couples and singles poses including 54 poses; 27 cuddle poses and 16 single animations, 8 sit for men and 8  sit for women.  It is also copy.


Oh and this new exclusive  by LoS BOS (Steele Sirnah)-- Overalls  and torn tank top is fabulous... it comes for mesh and classic avatars... I wear it both ways and best of all it comes with a color changing hud... it  is country girl meets city... grunge... but atm  I am wearing it  and  enjoying nature...


Two more swank finds are  Dulce Secrets Mesh and System Eyes that includes both system and mesh eyes and the rainbow necklace, earrings and bracelets that match with almost everything by HJ by Mystic Rainbow in Gold gold.

As the  last word,  did I mention the garden bench comes with a cat... I always tell secrets to my cat...I also  love the fact that is comes with daisy's and that I am able to sit  between two realistic looking boulders on a wooden plank. It is hard to believe that this is only 5 prims and is 100% mesh and that it comes with all those poses for singles and couples. And, all of you, please follow and like my rl cat blog  !! http://catadventuresandproducts.blogspot.com

Mr. X and Carla Jumo's Sept. Exclusive @ Swank

If twirling carelessly on the summer breeze interests you then the new  jumpsuit called Carla created by Jumo, an exclusive @ Swank in September is for you.  This month's theme is anything goes and Carla comes in two versions that are perfectly suited to fit almost any mood and certainly every adventure.


The solid silk jumpsuit has fine lines that emphasizes all your curves... in all the right places... if you know what I mean. I love the inset details of this version of this jumpsuit with its subtle satin variation of color making this uniquely alluring. Carla comes in a black, fiesta, flash, serenity and violent.


If you enjoy being called "muse" and are in a romantically playful mood then the lace version of Carla is certainly for you. You will get the party started when showing up in this gorgeous peek a boo jumpsuit featuring cutout detailing for a sultry yet sophisticated look. To shoot this blog I am using the new exclusive poses offered by Glitter that can also be found at Swank.  The minimal movement of these poses makes shooting a photographer's dream.

As with all of Jumo's offerings Carla comes with matching drop earrings and a fabulous necklace whose shape reminds me of a chinese opium bottle. The design of the opium snuff box is decorated in a lovely floral design and has beads patterned in a millefiori style.

Mr. X and Brandi @ Urbana featuring *Swank* Hot Fuss!

Lurking about... I guess... the feeling of curiosity is inexhaustible energy....most of us feel we are guided by reason as a norm... but.. some  of us  don't accept the norms -- we are guided by impulse.... and city lights... loneliness and desire....

AND, when all else fails... then there is always music that makes our hearts  and minds float....and memories that drift in like the high tide  bursting against the shoreline during the full moon... or a late summer hurricane... when the winds swirl and the the sky is bruise grey....


Tonight wearing Brandi Shorts and Heather Tied Tank Top by Hot Fuss that is an exclusive at Swank.  This is made for mesh as well as classic avatars.  The top comes with a color changing  hud that includes solid colors and dots...all are beautifully made textures.  I feel like a fearless adventurer...  verging on the realm of impossibility... converging with the absurd... and we all know there is plenty of that to pass around... no shortage of the absurdity of life...or is there... and thank god for Mr. X !


I am also  wearing another  Swank Exclusive by Semi Precious called Brenna.  This exclusive is available in Nine  color changing huds  each one also has  with metal change in: Antique, Silver and Gold. The hud offers a multitude of colors including: Black & White HUD - White Onyx, Hematite - JetBlue HUD - Aquamarine, Turquoise, Lapis Lazuli - Green HUD - Peridot, Jade, Malachite - Orange HUD - Flourite, Goldstone, Amber, Pink HUD - Rose Quartz, Morganite, Watermelon Tourmaline - Purple HUD - Sugalite, Tanzanite, Amethyst -  Red HUD - Jasper, Garnet, Spinel, - Yellow HUD - Topaz, Citrine, Tiger's Eye.

Mr. X and Culco *new* @ Sept. Swank

This is one of the best silhouette dresses I have seen created by Culco called Cowl Back Dress that comes in a rich stretchy satin blend in black of course. This cute dress is an exclusive @  September's fabulous event known as Swank. The Cowl Back Dress  is the perfect length and is beautifully proportioned. The added  bit of netting at the neckline gives this sleek mini a turn of the century feel with a dash of nostalgic mystery.

 You will get "the look" you know the one I mean -- up and down... head to toe -- the moment you put on Cowl Back Dress.  You know this of course, the dress is fabulous...and a perfect little black dress.  



I adore a dress that looks as good from the front as it does from behind... and Cowl Back Dress by Culco does not disappoint 
with its plunging back. This is the dress you have been waiting for to swing slowly into Indian Summer... where all eyes will be on you.

Mr. X on the "fringe" Kate by Journey @ Marvelous Events - Prism & Special Event for Italy's Earthquake

Marvelous Events has started its new round for the month and is offering some wonderful exclusive items like this lovely leather dress called Kate Fringed Dress by Journey created by  Prism. This dress comes with a color changing hud in sharkskin, lush meadow, riverside and dusty cedar. It is made for  slink , maitreya and classic bodies.


Mr. X was fascinated with the long fringe and the zipper detail in the back.  This is the kind of dress you  in late afternoon at the bar at the Hotel Pierre in NYC to prolong a discussion that started over lunch.


Imagine trying to convince a Cambridge Professor to come out of the "dark ages" and support the fact that there is global warming. He is such a skeptic. But in this heat generating dress...he is hanging on my every word... and I am betting he will come around!


Wearing
Kate  by Journey @ Marvelous Events  - Prism


In the early morning hours of August 24th,2016 tragedy struck Italy. Mother Nature decided to lay her strong quivering hands on the ground of the mountainous central regions, causing a 6.2 magnitude earthquake.
At least 290 people have died across the region, many more have been injured. Countless homes and businesses have been destroyed, the town of Amatrice is in ruins. This disaster has left many people with nothing but the clothes they were wearing when the earthquake began.
This is a tragedy that many of us can’t imagine. We’ve been lucky to live in places that mother nature has not yet forsaken. For many of us, this tragedy and similar events like it are just a passing story on the nightly news. For those in Italy the story has become reality. In times like these, it is important to remember that no matter where you live in the world you can help. Survivors need emergency supplies like food, water, and medicine. They also have long-term needs like shelter and help with rebuilding.
We are lucky here in Second Life to be able to spend our days surrounded by people from all over the world. We may be nothing more than pixels on a computer, but behind those pixels are real human beings that live, breathe and love.
Marvelous events, along their staff are setting aside everything in real life and in second life on September 17th, 2016 to support Italy. This will be a day to honor their Italian staff, friends and anyone in the SecondLife Community who have been affected by this disaster.
Marvelous Events shopping district will be holding events in The Lounge all day on Saturday, September 17th. Marvelous Events will be donating 100% of their proceeds from the event sales, 100% of Donations to The Lounge and the Dj’s are graciously donating 100% their tips as well to the Croce Rossa Italiana (Italian red cross).
What’s in store for the day?
· For music lovers, we have amazing Dj’s spinning tunes from 6am-10pm in the lounge.
· For shoppers, all our shops will be open and ready for you to browse.
· Their will be random prize giveaways throughout the entire day from our Marvelous Designers.· Our sim sponsor, Posh Pixels has offered to create a OOAK gown to be auctioned off. 100% of the proceeds donated to the cause.
This will be an amazing event that you don’t want to miss. Marvelous Events owners and staff hope to make a difference for the people suffering in Italy. This is your chance to help out those in need.
Whether you have been lucky enough to never experience a disaster like this or you have been part of one in the past, you can help make a difference by participating in the events on Saturday September 17th.
Make sure you mark this day on your calendars.

Exploring the Lair of Mr. X - *new* Eternal Gown by Silvan Moon

It was late and my lord had left the castle after working all day in his lair.  He is an alchemist and is searching for the right combination of elements to create gold that will make us rich beyond belief.  I  am curious about what goes on in this room of experimentation ...and decided to see for myself what has tantalized my lord for hours and hours.....

The wonders I have found were astounding... just like this new gown called Eternal by Silvan Moon.  This is a new collaboration of two creators that share the same passion for beautiful Medieval and Fantasy clothes - Solasnagealai of Blue Moon Enterprises and Bee Dumpling of The White Armory.   Each piece is original mesh so it is unique as well as artfully crafted with great attention to detail.


The details are extraordinary and include a headband styled hat that is etched in a fine brocade woven with golden thread that was popular during the Renaissance.



 The formal gown is made of a fine linen texture and is embellished with celtic accents. It  has drop sleeves that billow  with ornate cuffs and a silk sash and a gorgeous train making this a standout period gown that is distinctive and elaborate.


Eternal can be worn with classic, slink, belleza and maitreya mesh bodies. I am wearing Eternal Jewel with a fitted classic body. Eternal Jewel is the rare version of this gown and comes with a fabulous color changing hud that allows you to change the color of the gown, hat and sleeves.

Mr. X and Natane by Wicca's Wardrobe @ Fantasy Collective

Find me deep in the heart of the jungle... where magic and midnight ... you and I... intersect....find me in an ancient forest if you dare....I am feeling and look fierce and independent with a dash of wanton in this new exclusive item called Natane by Wicca's Wardrobe that is available at the Fantasy Collective  this month... it is ideal for role play... or just plain fun!


Natane  comes in solid black and a patchwork pattern and is made for mesh bodies - Freya, Isis, Maitreya, Slink and Venus.  Natane also includes a metal changing hud.  The criss cross top with lavish beading exudes confidence of someone that embraces the element of surprise with a nonchalant ease of a woman that knows the power of the illusion of smoke and the mystery of desire.

The skirt rides low on the hips and has a tribal elegance to it... replete with the cross stiching of the pants.  Natane beckons expeditions and adventure... follow if you dare!


Mr. X, the night is quiet... the wind barely stirs in the trees... I call your name softly and hope you can hear the echo... on the midnight breeze ---- consider this your invitation to..........
