Mr. X and a New Art Gallery and *New* Zed Sensations

I have been asked to judge work at a new art venue called Rainbow Painters and I just don't know where to begin as all the art is gorgeous.  The gallery itself is beautifully laid out and this month's exhibition's theme is flowers... god, I love flowers.  The task ahead of me is so difficult. I have to choose one piece of art from "real life" and one from "Second Life".

In addition to a lovely gallery setting on three floors Rainbow Painters hosts many parties and events.  I actually stumbled onto this gallery after receiving an invitation to a performance by Dani Plassitz, she sings like an angel and is also a designer of Styles by Danielle.

I decided to wear a new outfit by Zed Sensations called Amanda-- it is so classy!  Amanda comes with a very sexy sweater dress and a gorgeous coat with gold studs.  I love the low cut zipper on the dress in gold... it adds just the right amount of spice... Mr. X likes that... a lot!  So if the mood strikes you, go to Zed Sensations and pick up Amanda and then go to Rainbow Painters and tour the gallery!

Mr. X and the Enchantress - Muse @ Swank

We were on the move day and night. There were birds of all sizes from golden eagles to tiny wrens.. hawks and starlings. It was an impressive sight in the desolate fertile forest of waterfalls and fairies... spectacular flowers and lush orange groves where the fruit lit up between the dense foliage like drops of gold in the fading sun.

In  this enchanted forest, I am waiting for my beloved Mr. X in a new gown by Muse called Enchantress.  This dress has been created for mesh bodies and comes with a pastel color changing hud. I love it's delicate diamond lace pattern down the front with its delicate rose accents and the graceful cape that attaches to the back of this simply stunning A-line styled gown.

What makes Enchantress magical is the jeweled neck piece of delicate gems and roses. This elegantly wrought jewelry comes with a massive color changing hud. You can change each style of gem in this piece allowing you to create countless looks with it. The texture of each jewel tone is realistic and oh so gorgeous.

Muse has also created Enchantress hair that sweeps classically around your face and into a sweeping bun in the back.  Enchantess hair comes in a natural and a fantasy color changing hud that features a rainbow of colors. There is also a matching crown, sold separately from the hair that matches the jeweled neck piece... that is sure to make you feel... positively... enchanting!

Mr. X and Sascha's Designs @ Swank a shopping expedition

I told Mr. X that one of my favorite ways to pass the time is to go window shopping and to dream of those lovely things that most of the time we cannot afford.  Swank is a great place to window shop and even a better place to buy because everything is not only exclusive it's also affordable.  Sascha's designs has three items at Swank all are exclusive.

Check out  Fury Aubergine with its stunning high collar sure to keep you warm on a windy autumn day. I think you will love snuggling into this exaggerated cowl neckline jacket in  aubergine. Fury Aubergine also comes with a pair of skinny slacks in silk with a diamond studded belt at the waistline.  This combo is elegant and perfect for so many venues.  This outfit is made for classic avatar bodies.

Another find by Sascha's Designs is Palomma Polished Silver Dress this is elegance in motion.  A dress for any occasion, the shimmering jacket with it's architectural sleeves makes a statement... and the sexy dress underneath it is just enough... with its strategic seaming and details like the cross over collar and the shimmer of the sequined  front. This dress also comes in sunburst that is gold as opposed to this pearl and equally as radiant!  This dress is made for mesh bodies.

The final Swank Exclusive for Sasha's Designs also made for Mesh bodies using Omega appliers for Maitreya Lara Mesh Body (worn) is called Norvik Black Outfit.  If you have a Maitreya Mesh Body Lara, you need The Omega Relay to use with your Omega Applier,  is 99 Linden on MP http://slpoweredbyomega.com/instructions/omega-applier-system-kit-for-maitreya

Indulge yourself in a gorgeous PETA approved fur coat this autumn.  Sascha has created a beautiful outfit called Norvik in Black.  I love the soft, luxe, lush black fur jacket with its layers of coziness and decadent texture.  The sleek silk high necked black blouse and the and the silky sleek dress pants and matching slink shoes completes this look. Norvik comes with  two pairs of pants, two tops, a black fur jacket and shoes.  By request Sascha can make all her Non-Mesh outfits, gown, tops, pants etc. compatible with omega for an additional charge of 99 L per outfit.  Please IM Sascha for further details.

Mr. X and Zoe - New @ Swank Pink Ice and TM Creations

I told Mr. X that a lazy day just got longer as I linger in a new casual outfit by Pink Ice called Zoe that is an exclusive at Swank's Autumn Breeze exclusive event.  Zoe is compatible with all mesh bodies.  Another find at Swank is the Autumn Pumpkin arrangement by TM Creations.  This colorful mesh autumn pumpkin arrangement is only 5 prims. It is so convenient to place and is even copy!

I love the sweater with it's festival of stripes --- this comfortable sweater is a delight to wear. It cascades to an open front sweater with a self fringed point hem making it chic and casual at the same time.

Zoe by Pink Ice comes with a microsuede mini skirt and matching top plus a fringe sweater  and thigh high spike heeled boots that are perfect to show off my long legs!  Your boot collection isn't complete without a pair of thigh hi boots that comes with this outfit.

The Rustic Moments Cuddle Wooden Chest also by TM Creations and an exclusive at Swank comes loaded with a wooden chest with pillows, books, and blankets.  It has a four person sit menu and a 2 person cuddle menu.  For couples there are 208 animations including 104 cuddle poses and for those lovely romantic moments.

Mr. X and Maven - Purplemoon @ Swank and Image Photography New Release

Sometimes... sweetness and nice wrestles with demons in the dark.  We all have them right?  And, usually we win.  And then, sometimes, there are those nights, when the wind blows the  wrong way and we toss and turn... and turn yet again... you know what I mean? Sometimes you just want to sail away from it all...   I confide always to my demons...  it's ok, I think to do that.

And, I found the most perfect  dress for confession -- by Purple Moon @ Swank called Maven.  It comes loaded with a color changing hud and is made for  classic and mesh bodies... I am wearing Lara Maitreya. I love the details that Purple Moon always adds, the snakeskin belt (color changing hud),  sleek mini dress with the frilly feminine skirt and the biker jacket replete with trim... this is a must have and can be worn in so many ways and so many colors.

I am also using the new  light  system by Image photography... it is amazing and comes with  a hud that does so much.. more on that in next  blog but it is fantastic and does things that no other  portable hud  does... and... more....

Mr. X and Autumn- Hot Fuss @ Swank plus new Ghee

The late winds of autumn are blowing...The new mini skirt and tub top called "Autumn" by Hot Fuss is an exclusive at Swank in November. It offers a cute movie star hip look with a tight brown suede skirt and a sexy silk tube top in creme.

I love this tube top that is tailored for comfort and fit!  This stretchy bandeau/tube top is embellished with a lovely autumn scene making it a stand out.  The Autumn Mini and Tube Top can be worn with classic and mesh bodies.

These new spike heeled boots have just been released by Ghee and are fabulous!  These Thigh Boots can be worn with jeans -they come with a jeans option. Or, they can be worn separately as I have done.  I loved the way they looked with this mini skirt by Hot Fuss... and  Mr. X loves the way they show off my long legs!  The boots come loaded with appliers for all mesh options.

Mr. X and Roberta Red - Styles By Danielle

Every once in awhile a gown is made that will become a favorite -- because it is perfect for any situation from a royal ball to a courtly dance... Styles by Danielle's  new gown called Roberta Red  is one of those gowns. It is sleek and elegant and sexy all at the same time!

The skirt is elegantly textured in layers of gorgeous lace with a delicate floral pattern on the texture that is lovely and well done.  The wide black belt at the waist  with  the rose embellishment defines this classic ball gown and gives it dimension and allure.

Mr.  X I am  waiting for you and the champagne...  the ballroom is smoke  filled and  the jazz is hot.... just like me in this new  gown by  Styles by Danielle... that is nominated for Best Women's Formal in the  2016 Avi Choice for Designers...

Mr. X can't you just picture us gliding to  an amazing dance in a swank NYC club... on the upper east side...

Mr. X and the Starlet @ Swank - New Jumo + new lipstick & shadow!

I see stars in his eyes... when Mr. X looks at me... and with that in mind, I picked up the new release by Jumo called Starlet.  It is ultra glamorous with its lavish sequined pattern on lush silk in a beautiful  blend of raspberry.  I am wearing Starlet in Bellflower.

Starlet also comes in three other color patterns: black, tomato, emerald and mykonos.  All are gorgeous.  The dress is a rigged mesh dress with an alpha layer in standard sizes. You can wear it with or without the flexi prim skirt of stars.

As with all of Jumo's marvelous designs, Starlet doesn't disappoint as the straps and back are studded with silver stars!  The gown is as beautiful from the back as it is from the  front.  In addition, Starlett comes with diamond studded star earrings and a beautiful headpiece.

I am also wearing Jumo's new Royal Lipstick and Hyper Glitter eyeshadow.  This makeup is for Catwa, TMP and Lelutka heads as well as for standard classic heads.  Each package comes in six shades.

Mr. X and the River.... Ghee @ Boho Fair

I just love this look... it reminds me of a warm summer walk amid a flower strewn meadow... I can hear the scamper of squirrels as i watch  flowers sway in the summer breeze... it is days like this that i  feel boho chic and nothing is more boho chic than Ghee's Frilled River Sweater and Etta Boots that are an exclusive at the Boho Fair through Nov. 5.

I love the cotton texture of this oversized sweater that is embellished with lace making it sexy and feminine at the same time. Ghee is so good at doing that.  I also love the fishnet stockings that comes with this...they set the Etta Boots off perfectly.

The Boho Frilled Sweater comes in several colors, I loved the river.  It is also made for classic, belleza, maitreya (worn) bodies. Don't forget to pick up the necklace at Ghee -- it is the Boho Free Gift and is purrfect with this outfit!  Ghee is a collaboration between Warm Clarity, a real world artist, and SL Top Model Beatrice Serendipity. It is no wonder that their clothes are amazing and actually something I would wear in both lives

Mr. X and Karma -Aleutia @ Boho Fair thru Nov. 4

There is something that tells me what goes around comes around... or so that is what they say... and this new exclusive @ Boho Fair by Aleutia called  Karma in boysenberry will certainly make the boys come around... Mr. X can attest to that!  Karma comes in a rainbow of colors....

I really like the mandala pattern on this boho top. I paired it the fabulous distressed  jeans  also  by Aleutia  called  Zeta.  This look is boho chic and mesmerizing... an inherent quality of me and the mandala on this shirt... giggles... Mr. X rolls his  eyes at that.

There are many meanings to  what a mandala is... one is that it is a  Hindu or Buddhist graphic symbol of the universe; the other is that it is a symbolic pattern  usually in the form of a  circle divided into four separate sections ..... bearing an image... perhaps Mr. X of us!

Mr. X @ the Freak Show - Jumo!

There is something inherently fun about styling for the "Freak Show"  put together by the famous modeling Agency Scala.  This is certainly a festive event for this spooky time of year!  I love the new creation by Jumo created exclusively for this event called Maeve.  I love the rich interplay of the black and white patterns in this dress making it an instant freakshow classic in my opinion!

Maeve is composed of a black and white stripe bubble dress that is mesh with additional black lace and black and white silk polka dot flexi prim layers that float around you as you glide through SL.  This dress turns up the romance as these venetian lace peplums cascades over the cute striped bubble dress with its oh la la plunging neckline! I love that the bodice of this outfit is done in a rich floral taffeta print with sexy lace edging at the waistline...these small details make this dress a must have.

A highlight of the outfit is the skull head and wand beautifully crafted from an old animal skull... I think a cow head or perhaps a wolf.... it is magical .... as there is nothing shy about this wizard's accessory!   I am ready to cast my spell on you Mr. X... are you ready?

Mr. X and Lilith @ Swank

Out of the corner of  your eye... you notice him... smoke and mirrors and midnight... sighs... I sit, alone by the slow burning embers of a fire and wait for Mr. X.... dreaming of the last time we embraced...  I miss him... so--- on this very cold October night .... I remember the night he told me he only had eyes for me... as everyone else did in the room... he said with my arrival I would capture hearts... really, I was only interested in his heart and I still am... even after so many ... almost 4 years!

Wandering around  Swank... wearing a new outfit by Prism called Lilith --- I feel elegantly  gothic... and oh so sexy.  Lilith has a gorgeous lace tunic top, lace skin tight pants that lace up the legs and a sexy corset top... I wander into a fabulous group of furniture by Dreamland Designs called Morticia Wing Couch Set  -- it comes with 116 animations and texture change on rug and couch. A table & fireplace  and candles also available... it is spook delicious!

I love all the details especially the candles with the black beaded  crystals and the curtains... not to mention the friendly skull... it all sets a sombre mood... so much fun for this time of year!

And for those that like to landscape there is even a cemetery building kit at Swank by JS Designs with fabulous grave markers and much more....

Mr. X its Teatime - Aphrodite @ Heart Homes and Luxe Paris

There is nothing cozier than a cuppa hot steaming tea on a cool fall day when the leaves drift slowly on the autumn breeze.  Aphrodite @ Heart Homes has made the perfect autumn tea set that sets the mood.

The autumn tea set is beautifully hand carved in a rich maple wood finish that just screams fall.  I love the leaf shape of the chairs and table and the graceful curves of the legs... making this set rustically elegant.

This set comes with trees, two chairs, a candle and festive placemat plus tons of animations for male, female and even child avatars.  Each  has 6 animations to choose from.  Everything is copy so it is not a problem to add additional items to your scene.  As with all of Aphrodite @ Heart Homes items this one comes loaded with interactive ao's you can have soup, three types of drinks including tea -- and you can even pray!

I am wearing a new release by Luxe Paris called Chic Devil crop top and pants.  I love the elegant detailing on the crop top with its lace-up embellishment at the decorative waistline that really shows off my curves. There is nothing more classic than black silk and gold.

I decided to dress down Chic Devil crop top and pants by pairing with the high lace boots also by Luxe Paris from the Saturday Hoodie Top, Shorts and Booties outfit.  It just goes to show you how versatile this outfit is...
