Mr. X and Cassiopeia - New Jumo Skin, Eye and Lip make-up and hair

Mr. X... I am confused as to what to wear... what kind of party is it.. who is on the guest list... what is the dress code and, most importantly what is for dinner?

A formal affair of industry titans Mr. X tells me.  Ok, then, I must wear the Cassiopeia Gown by Jumo. This gown is sexy and classy at the same time with  a color changing hud that offers many different colors and three different patterns.  I love the peekaboo crochet pattern in all it's delicious colors.

Tres crochet... this dress is lavished with a beautiful woven top and a deep plunging neckline.  The slender skirt that flounces out a bit at the bottom is embellished with large geometric rosettes that makes it romantically irresistible. Cassiopeia also comes with beautiful gold and silver enameled earrings and a long necklace that sets this gown off perfectly.  I am also wearing new skin by Jumo in Caramel called Taylor with Taylor eyeliners and lipstick that are sold separately.

This is Taylor Cocoa skin that is such a great skin for summer and it really looks good with orange, yellow and blue.  Taylor comes with six eyebrow options making it easy to wear with just about any color hair. The Taylor Lipstick has a wonderful realistic sheen to it and the new exoctic  Taylor eye-shadow that offers six options are a must have. I love the way the orange eyeshadow plays against the skin and matches the gown.

Another beaded version of the Cassiopeia gown has a retro art deco vibe to it... it will make you feel glamourous.  There are many color options for the beaded versions of this gown. I fell in love with the glittering Nile green beaded option although the blue, red, black, purple ... and more are also lovely and at your fingertips with the click of a button!

The hair I am wearing is Whitney Ombre roots blonde also a new release by Jumo. I think she has been a busy lady! The skin is Taylor Frescia.

Mr. X @ ZEX, TM, Rebellion and Star @ Swank @ Jumo

It's summer and that always gets me in the mood to landscape... so Mr. X and I went to Swank and found several items by TM Creations that were just what we had in mind. The first is the Love Bench that comes with heart of roses ground cover, animations, and five types of particles. It is so pretty.

With so much detail and so many options it is hard to believe that the 100% mesh [Love Bench] is only 9 prims, you can also copy and modify it. The bench contains a menu without poseball (simply sit) for Cuddle and singles animations for 2 persons.  There are 54 animations including 27 Cuddle poses with 30 sec loop x each), for romantic couples moments.  There are also SOLO female/male, 16 animations in all for two people.

I am wearing another find from Swank.  A flirty off the shoulder midriff top, lace up mini skirt and sexy summer sandals that lace all the way up my legs by [ZEX] called Nina.  I love the deep teal blue and the melding of the pattern on the top with the color of the skirt.

I couldn't resist wearing the new leather collar called Delilah by Rebellion with this to kick up the heat a bit!  Another find was the Star Eye Enhancement eye makeup  that is made for lelutka, catwa and slink mesh heads and for classic heads.  The Star eye enhancement comes in  cotton earth, sun, and ocean.

If you are in the market for a Summer Gazebo, TM is also offering a low prim 13 prim mesh Rose Gazebo. It comes with a standing animation menu for two that includes:COUPLES: 48 animations (24 couple (cuddle) poses 30 sec loop x each), SEQUENCE: 2 Cuddle-scene Sequence Play up to 8 mins of scene x each (looping) and  SOLO (F/M): 2 standing animations for person.

So Mr. X...my best summers were spent outside exploring the coastline looking for shells and seaglass. Finding things in my aunt's cluttered barn...world's fair jerky black and white movies, a thousand books, saddles...Civil War uniforms (both sides)... faded photographs of picnics in the backyard... memories of how people use to live.

On the Silk Road with Mr. X @ UAC Medieval Faire and Framework Mesh Builds

Mr. X and I went to UAC Medieval Faire... there are so many amazing events and items to purchase for a good cause...get there before the faire ends on June 18... my god, how the month has flown by. One of the most interesting items I found was by Framework Mesh Builds called Silk Road. Check out this gorgeous  white stucco Arabic style building that is only 13 prims and brimming with details.

It has an open air pergola area with lattice windows accented with colorful tiles... it is all in the details of this original mesh building. All of the builds are modify but PLEASE be aware because they are mesh, a lot of the building is in large pieces and textured with texture maps. Make sure you understand how to modify mesh before attempting to change the build in some way. If you simply want it larger/smaller select all of the building pieces and stretch them using the Edit function inside SL. Best of all, all builds are copy. If you mess up modifying one, simply re-rez another.

The second room is entered through a classic arched doorway and has a beautiful tiled ceiling with open air slats that lets the cool sweet breeze in.  The lavish iron bed with silk curtains, also an exclusive at the Medieval Faire  comes with adult, single and couple animations.

Another offering for this house by UAC Medieval Faire is the iron sofa and bench with its sweet couple animations. This bench has an artfully sculpted back that gives it interest and depth.  Mr. X and I agree it is a very sweet place for a cuddle!

Mr. X and Phoebe - Wicca's Wardrobe & Emo-tions

Phoebe, a Goddess of the Moon... a star studded Goddess that understands the Delphic oracle and is able to delve deep into the souls of men... this new outfit called Phoebe by Wicca's Wardrobe is so cool right down to the belt with the timepiece for the buckle.  Phoebe is perfect for a 21st century goddess... it will have men wondering that is for sure!  It is where steampunk and sexy meet.

The star of Phoebe is the beautifully detailed corset... it has all manner of proper laces and eyelets... and better yet it has a six color changing hud that also includes three metal changes for the chains on the belt and front piece.   The hud is amazing and allows you to change the color of each piece ---Corset, Corset lace 2, lacing, strap in the front, belt and skirt.  The combinations are endless and fun. You can even take part of the  corset off and  just show the lace corset -- oh la la!

I decided to combine this look with the new hair from  Emo-tions called Denise that is an exclusive at On9 thru June 31. I like the look of the leather cap and the long flowing hair... with a sexy added  pony tail knot in the back with Phoebe.  One thing about all of Wicca's designs, she has an eye for detail and they always look as good in the back as they do  from the front... and Mr. X loves that! I am also wearing the new unisex wristband by Emo-tions called  Focus.

Now you may not be as alluring as  the Goddess Phoebe, (your favorite  SL friend will tell you differently trust me on this!) but you will have endless fun wearing Phoebe...

Ghee @ The Darkness Event through June 30

Sometimes, Mr. X told me less is more. And, wearing this chic elaborately beaded sheath styled gown that is an exclusive @ The Darkness Event, I am inclined, once again, to agree with Mr. X.

I love the sleek, minimal silhouette created by this dress that conjures up visions of grand ladies of the 1950s and 1960s when this style was really hot.  The most popular reinvention of the sheath was by Dior that featured a tailored bodice, nipped in waist and full skirt. Another look created the "vertical line" a more feminine and less boxy type of sheath dress.

A final type of sheath favored by the likes of Marilyn Monroe and Bettie Page was the sophisticated pencil silhouette sheath dress that was fitted much like this gown is to show off every curve! The beaded sheath gown comes in a rainbow of jewel tone colors such as  emerald, ruby, sapphire, onyx, quartz, topaz and amethyst.  and is made for slink, belleza, isis, lara mesh bodies. Tip because of its tight fit, it is best to wear without shoes or feet. Also, ghee has a helpful alpha card for Lara and Belleza Mesh bodies making this a snap to wear.

Luxe Paris is made for classic mesh bodies as well as for Maitreya and Eve bodies. All outfits have been have tested by the designers to make sure they work with the alpha huds of Maitreya and Eve. The outfit called....Yin and Yang is a sophisticated summer classic in black grey and white. The trousers drape beautifully  and are utterly elegant in a silk twill... this is very YSL.

I love the vest of Yin and Yang with its deep V cut -- it almost has a  kimono feel to it.  The flower on the lapel... perfect princess seams and sash at the waist will accentuate your figure. Ladies, this is  couture casual... and a must have.   Yes, Mr. X I want an ice cream ... and your buying... and it will be  a big sundae with lots of cherries on top and  creme... and,  fudge on vanilla ice cream... oh la la -- forget the latte... I want ice cream!

I could not resist pairing this with *New* Hair by Emotions called Paola that is an exclusive @ the Vintage Fair.  These long flowing locks and 1960s era retro hat adds to the style of the overall elegance of the Luxe Paris Yin and Yang look -- so   YSL that never goes out of style... this look is timeless.   I am also wearing  feather  earrings and  necklace by Emo-tions called Falcon @We Love Role Play.  I love the  hand wrought silver that is so traditional in Native American  culture.  I feel empowered and elegant and you can wear this with just about any look from role play to  YSL casual!

More Dark Romance @ Swank...

Lost in the deep velvet night....sheltered whispers are all around me... can you hear them? Smooth words, tender words...teasing... beguiling... mysterious. Tonight you will dream a dream of me with no end and no beginning...shattered dreams that bring dark illusions of raven's wings and the sweet sting of a viper.

I love detailed skyboxes that are roomy and empty! Studio Craft has made a gorgeous stone Dungeon Skybox has three large chambers embellished by columns and separated by classic stone arched doorways. There is a runner that runs down the center of the skybox that sets off the stone floor beautifully. The highly detailed stone walls are set off by columns that add a real 3-d look to this skybox that packs a lot of detail for just 46 prims.  The Dungeon Skybox  is an exclusive at Swank.

Another exclusive is the Huldra Bed bed also by Studio Craft. This bed set looks fabulous in the Dungeon Sky Box and comes fully loaded with singles and couples aos and sequence animations...some are X-rated!  The finely wrought iron bed with red satin cover and pillows is only ten prims.  I like the fact that this bed comes with candelabras and deco mesh branches with lights that add so much to the Gothic ambience.

Another bed offered at Swank is the MW Deluxe Gothic Charm Bed.  This bed comes fully loaded with single sit and a series of six X rated couple animations and one series of sleep animations.

This highly detailed bed  by MW Pixel Dust with its charming chandelier crystals, and hanging glass charms and strings of lights and lovely sheer curtains that seem to  drift in the breeze is 27 prims and an exclusive @ Swank.

I am wearing irrISIStible's Delicious Gothic Mesh outfit that is an exclusive at Swank. I love the boots, necklace and pelvis prim that has skeletons embellished with black lace, roses and ribbons on the side prim and on the necklace.  The boots have skeleton heads with chains and are super cool.

Delicious Gothic mesh is made for all mesh bodies and comes with an applier hud for Maitreya bodies (worn) for the gloves and socks. It also has a 4 color changing hud for the dress and a crown of roses. I loved the crown of roses with the new hair by Jumo called Beatrize Hair. The eye shadow called Stylesque is also by Jumo.

Mr. X and Dark Wax in A Greek Vampire Temple @ Swank

My roots are gothic look  and  this June Swank has given me the  opportunity to  just  enjoy my gothic side... and Mr. X  thinks I am almost  irriSIStible !!!   And talking about  irriSIStible    she has  created a  classic gown called  Dark Wax!  I am modeling in it in a new  "Greek Vampire  Temple by StudioCraft that is known for  design, color and  details -- and  both are gorgeous.

The Greek Vampire Temple is at it's very best in Ultra Settings (it renders just fine in  regular settings, no worries). The Vampire Temple has  fine detailed work that reflect Gothic dark dreams.  And, irriSIStible - Dark Wax Mesh Outfit that is made for freya, Isis, Hourglass, Maitreya, Physique, Venus is perfect  to wear here with its' dripping waxy and skull hands, flower and candle.  The roses come with a color changing hud.

StudioCraft notes that  as soon as he details things up, the prims increase because of  the intricate details.  As a builder he thinks about making builds as poor on prims as possible. However, he makes his  final decisions by thinking about his own feelings. He wants to be positively surprised when he buys and therefore creates things he likes and enjoys.

Historically and politically correct?  Not always as StudioCraft points out. In his builds, he thinks that artists have the license to break every law to make dreams happen, unless they do harm to others. as for StudioCraft,  if this creator wants to put bluebirds that don't exist in a white tree that does not exist, he does!  He feels that  as a creator he can make something exist -- because that's the wonder of creation. Anything can happen and it does!

So Mr. X... please meet me... now... and we shall explore our dark romance... oh la la... my candles are  burning and the wax is melting.... and I am waiting......

June Swank - Dark Romance & Mr. X!

The June Swank is now open and  features more than 100 designers with  Fashion, Beauty, Home & Garden all exclusives calling to your Deepest Darkest Love!  The theme this month is Dark Romance.  So get  ready to take a step into the original sins of sexy, seductive and morally dark limits... now Mr. X is intrigued.

It is June and the weather is unseasonably cool.  Sitting alone in my study in the Barclay House that is four blocks from Central Park somehow, I end up daydreaming... I am wearing a new dress by Hot Fuss called Icelyn that is an exclusive at this month's Swank.  I love the trailing lace overskirt on this cocktail dress that defines casual elegance. Icelyn comes with a color changing hud for the sash.

This furniture set is also an exclusive at Swank created by {CdB} or Casa de Bebe.  It is perfect for a classic  boudoir -- you know that private sitting room between the dining room and the bedroom. I love the French style of this chaise which is duchesse brisee (broken dutchess) in style.  It is named because this chaise comprises two separate parts and was used by women for reading!

I love the look of a chaise lounge with its beautifully hand carved arms and legs that is only 15 prims; it is very detailed. This one comes with 18 poses for singles and a texture color changer for the silk throw.  The set also comes with a lovely Aubusson carpet that picks up the color of the chaise and a beautifully carved neo -classic marble fireplace with a  photo.  The black marble table with graceful French legs and a beautiful bouquet of flowers that are also included in the set  complete this romantic room.

I am also wearing two more finds from Swank. I love the way the delicate lace collar and cuffs  embedded with moonstones look with this dress. The collar and cuffs and earrings called Dark Romance is an exclusive by  Heartsdale Jewelry.  I am wearing Lima mesh eyes by Yeux.  These eyes are made for regular and mesh heads and there is a special set of eyes in each package for those with Catwa mesh heads.  Relaxing now, reading my very favorite magazine, KMT, I wait for Mr. X as the sun drops and the soft colors of twilight emerges.
