Lady in Red

I love this Rebel Hope dress. It's simply elegant and beautifully designed. You can find it at this months Fameshed event, along with a whole array of other meshy goodness. My poor, poor bank balance. I'm going to have visit the bank manager and sweeten him up for an overdraft!

52 Weeks of Colour Challenge - Aqua Island by Ayla

Another day, another colour catch up. Perhaps I went a few shades lighter than the example swatch, but I think you can still classify this as aqua. I even managed to co-ordinate with my sofa! Yeah, I know, it's a talent. Some people match up with their significant others, some their pets. Me, I blend with the furniture. Story of my life.

Kind of Naughty, Kind of Nice

Callie, my alt, decided she needed to take a sexy picture for Clay Cowen who is only able to log in to SL on a text based viewer for the summer (waves and eyebrow waggles to Clay).  She's wearing the very sexy One Bad Pixel Cheong and her strappy heels from Nardkotix.  I let her go to Hair Fair and she loved Lamb's Blue Velvet hair.  The chaise in the picture is a photographer's pose prop from Diesel Works, bought at his 50% off sale!

52 Weeks of Colour - Pueblo by Ayla

I don't know about my fellow colour challenge bloggers, but I found this weeks colour a toughie.  In the end I decided the shade was something in between poop and rust, so I opted for rust.  I nipped along to One Bad Pixel and decided the Cherry Cheong in Rust was as close as I could get it.  I know I blogged it in Platinum a few weeks ago, but we want all the colours, right?

Naughty Pixels

I went to One Bad Pixel, the brand new all mesh store that everyone is talking about, and bought one of nearly everything.

I thought I'd show the cigarette pants that look like shantung silk, and the oh-so-naughty halter top. This copper color of the pants is a gift for subscribing to the updates. YAY!

My shoes are my color change strappy sandals from Nardcotix, hair is from Truth and the earrings (aren't they awesome?) are from Mandala.

The pose chair is from Diesel Works. I totally love it!

Milestone - 10,000 and Counting

Yesterday Double Exposure, our little Second Life blog hit 10,000 views. Last I looked it was 10,201, so we're celebrating with a picture together.  We're alike and we're different, each with a defined sense of our SL selves.  We don't pretend to be style mavens or expert photographers. We just like what we like and our photography is getting better with practice and computer upgrades.  Sometimes we're silly, like our Batman saga proves, sometimes we're sexy (especially Ayla) and we don't much care if that makes us dorks or perverts or whatever.  We're all that and more!

Fun facts about us:

- We met as roleplayers on a sexy, sexy sim in 2007.  We were such sluts back then.

- We decided to blog together just last December, and have been actively blogging ever since.


- We both usually wear a medium in mesh standard sizes, so don't tell us about how mesh makes everybody into the same shape!  

- I was jealous Ayla figured out shadows before I did.  But she's figured out most SL things before me, so it's nothing new.

- My most viewed blog post is Pipes and No Panties (thanks, Pho, for that bright idea LOL)


- Ayla's most viewed blog post is U is for Ursula - Donna Flora A-Z (really thanks to Casja for that idea)


- We live an ocean apart from each other, and would never have met and become friends if it weren't for SL.

- We once took blog pics in the same outfit with the same pose prop at the same location - NOT ON PURPOSE!

- We fought over who would blog a new coldLogic release first.  Ayla won THAT round.

For whatever reason, with all those SL blogs out there, folks are reading us, and we're grateful.  We hope our readers share our sense of fun.

On to the credits before I get all blubbery:

Fashonably Late and Kyoot

I nipped over to the last ever Fashionably Late earlier this week and saw this cute mesh cardie from ISON.  The Kyoot Lacey top matched it perfectly, you can get that in store for this months Stumblebum event.  Since Dolly got me strappy sandals the other day I can't take them off.  These are Nardcotix Mana Edith Ebony.  Lastly my denims are {mon tissu} - 1929 Cigarette ~ Original, my go to jeans!

Switcheroo - Dolly Does Ayla

 You were thinking something else weren't you?  Ayla and I came up with the BRILLIANT idea of pulling a switch. I would style and take a pic of her, and she would do the same to me.

I love Ayla for lots of reasons having nothing to do with her cute and sassy avatar, but I do think she has a beautiful avie, unique, curvy, sexy and sweet.  Still, I wanted to take her away from her norm without moving outside her comfort zone.  She does cute, she does pretty, she does sexy, she does wickedly slutty at times.  But she doesn't do glamour that much.

I found this lovely simple crimson mesh dress at the new opening of Pixel Mode.  It was just the thing to accessorize and glam her up in a sophisticated way without losing her Aylaness! (Yes, that is a word - now anyway.  Just don't ask me to pronounce it.)

We went through hair in her inventory.  I was looking for a chic updo, and we settled on this perfectly chic one from Lelutka.  She had no dressy strappy sandals in inventory, so a quick trip to Nardcotix was called for to pick up a black pair.  I've done my good deed for the day.  An inventory without strappy sandals? What was she thinking?

We fiddled with a boa that we could never make work the way we wanted, but ended up wrapping her in the fox stole from a few Collabor88's ago.  Some pearls from League to polish off the look and here we are, glamorous Ayla with a hip thrust out for a hint of sass.

I feel GORGEOUS!

I've been itchy to try on the new Glam Affair skin, Leah and - OMG - I'm in love.  I want to kiss my computer, Leah is sooo pretty!  I fatpacked it and you know what? It's worth it.  Between this skin and Mynerva's Milena, I'm set for a good long while.


I'm also wearing (from top to bottom) Truth hair, Beetlebones lashes, Mayfly eyes, Celoe dress and Nardcotix shoes.

Mix and Mesh

I went to the Mix + Mesh event today and was delighted with MOLiCHiNO's mesh offerings.  I mixed and matched this darling top, available in several colors with this high waisted skirt and then high waisted shorts, both beautifully detailed.  Demos are available and standard sizes are used. The medium fit me perfectly.  Also wearing Wasabi Pills hair and Nardcotix sandals. In the last picture I added Miel glasses and League and Paradisis bracelets.

She's Been ROBBED!

home from shopping (1), a photo by DollyBaroque on Flickr.
Dolly came into some money recently through some sinful activities at a festival. Since her sim lacks a reliable bank, she hid her stash of cash under rugs and furniture, setting aside some for a shopping spree.  Imagine her surprise when she discovered that she'd been robbed while out shopping.  Two whole stacks of bills! Oh - you don't have to imagine it, here she is.

Distraught, she flung open the patio door and cried out for help.

To her surprise and relief her call was answered by a mysterious caped and masked man who happened to have a thing for red heads - no, NOT Spiderman! She tells him of her plight and he agrees to help her...

Batman to the rescue! (4), a photo by DollyBaroque on Flickr.

Dolly is wearing coldLogic, Nardcotix, Dura hair and Glam Affair.  Her dark knight's ensemble is available on the Marketplace.  All of Dolly's poses are from Long Awkward Pose, and his is from Olive Juice.

Happy 1952!

I went to Nardcotix yesterday for the 70% off sale. I picked up a couple of fatpacks of shoes I'd been drooling over. While there I spotted this vintage dress, hat and shoes. I can't resist vintage glamour. The Celoe gloves, Lelutka hair and faux fox stole add the special touches to bring my 50's fantasy to life.
