Crimes of Fashion - A Second Life Book Cover Meme

I can't stop giggling. When I saw Strawberry Singh's book cover challenge, I immediately thought of old pulp novel covers as my inspiration. Sam Spade had better watch out. Dolly Baroque is coming to town!

Meme instructions: Create a book cover to show your avatar in fiction. It does not have to be based on a real book, it can be one that you make up. Don’t forget to leave a link to your cover in the comments and share it in the Blog Memes flickr group.

Getting Ready for the New Year

My new Dutchie kitchen looks like a real cook's kitchen circa 1920. Lucky for me there are things to do in this kitchen besides cook!

Besties

Ayla and I shopped at FaMeshed this morning. We're both wearing tops we bought. Ayla, on the right, is wearing the Baiastice top, I'm in the Valentina E on the left. April, in the middle, picked up her tunic sweater at TeeFy at the Fifty Linden Friday event. Because we all looked so fabulous I asked to take a photo. We all hopped on a cute girly threesome from Rack Poses that I've had in my inventory for awhile and voila!
 
We three met through roleplaying and we're excited to try again. We've decided to play sisters at Wendigo Lake which is still in beta. It's a lovely small town sim and worth a visit. If you're a roleplayer, stop over and visit us on the boardwalk. We'll tell your fortune if the spirits move us.

Let's Give the Girl a Hand

I've been away or planning to be away for a few days. Between that and discussing new roleplay characters for the Wendigo Lake roleplay sim I've hardly taken a picture lately (more about Wendigo Lake in another post). As I mused about what to do for a photo, I received a notice from Valentina E of a new product. WHOA! End of musing. My Applause Bikini is inspired by none other than Lady Gaga. Come on everybody! Let's give the girl a hand (or two to cover her backside). Also it's a great excuse to get the Hucci sandal/boots that fit my SLink feet. What else could I possibly wear with this bikini? If you run out to buy the bikini (you know you want to) check the marketplace first. It wasn't in the store when I rushed over to buy. Just so you know, the second photo is a teensy bit NSFW.

Just a Little Streeeetch...

...and I'll get back to work.  It's a new month and there are events and goodies to blog!  My ultra feminine and sexy dress is from Valentina E. Couture at FaMeshed, and the desk and chair is a rare item from Dig's gacha at The Arcade Gacha Event.  The artwork is from Pilot, not a new release.  I managed to clutter up the desk with various items from my inventory.

The Costume Ball

I do love a masked ball.  It gives me a chance to be mysterious and dramatic - and The Costume Ball event has wonderfully classy offerings for this Halloween season's parties. This full skirted mesh dress by Valentina E. Couture gives off a lovely rich sheen and a hint of red with every step. The fairy wings are included.  Ploom has an exclusive hair that compliments the dress, complete with glittered mask that can be worn two ways.

Now pardon me while I make my spectacular entrance at the ball.

Blogger Challenge - New to Me

I saw an interesting blogger challenge on Flickr the other day from Evelyn Hartshorn (see here for details).  In a nutshell, she challenged bloggers to find a new to us store from the list of stores in the very helpful resource at Blogging Second Life.

I chose a store I hadn't heard of called Valentina E Couture and found this lovely ladylike mesh dress.  I added a few staples of my wardrobe, a Miel scarf and earrings, my handbag from Bitch and T-strap shoes from Shiny Things.
