[Time After Time]

Today is all about newness and SALES! First, a stunning cocktail dress from Countdown. The shade of green is so very luscious and decadent. Antonia has released a collection of fanciful cocktail attire that will have us all on the best dressed lists as we head into the New Year. Yes, folks.... 2013 is just around the corner!

The first sale you MUST attend is the 50% off HAT sale at Bliss Couture! I didn't even know where to start, everything is just amazing and feels like something I don't want but NEED!  If you are a hat addict like myself, please don't miss out on this fabulous sale. The sale runs from November 9 - 18, 2012. 

The lovely July Raymaker is a pose maker extraordinaire!  I've long been an addict of Manifeste, and if you are an avid pose collector you will need to take advantage of her specially priced Clean Up 2012 package. You can score 200 poses for only $399! It's a unique collection and I hopped around happily snapping up photos using her well-made poses. Not only for photographers, her poses work extremely well on any runway.

I'll end by showing off my more decadent pieces, Slink mesh hands adorned with jewelry from Donna Flora. Of course the perfect clutch from Baiastice, oddly titled... Queen Hobo. I don't think any Queen would let a Hobo near that purse!

The SLexcellent Adventures of Jula and Chalice

Most people enjoy a good laugh and no one makes me laugh as much as Chalice Carling my dearest friend and her partner in crime Jula Carnell.  These two hens cackle like you wouldn't believe and are always have the most interesting adventures (i.e. lesbian love den in the sky). Whenever I get to catch up with Chalice, I hear of the latest installment of their tales.  You can't help but laugh so hard your stomach hurts.  Well, now they've put their adventures down on paper for the world to share.  Each week will bring a new installment to the unfolding story, stay tuned...

I invite you now to read Episode 1 of the SLexcellent Adventures of Jula and Chalice entitled, "The Impotence of Being Earnest" excerpt provided with permission from Flickr.  I encourage you all to join the group pool on Flickr to keep up with the on-going saga.

"Jula and Chalice met at Evely Lane's runway when Chalice was launching her international modeling career. Jula used to stand in awe of Chalice wishing that she too could command the $1L per hour fee that Chalice enjoyed under the tutelage of the (in)famous Evely Lane. Since that time, Chalice helped Jula on her way to becoming a model and they became firm friends sharing each others successes and failures.

Jula was married to wealthy SL entrepreneur Mr K and lived in a big, beautiful mansion by the sea while Chalice, beautiful and successful but financially struggling due to her shopping addiction, lived in a small apartment with a lesbian brothel situated in a sky box overhead. Hearing the thuds of human bodies falling onto her roof each night when in moments of passion, the clientele lost their footing and fell off the balcony, Chalice used to spend much time in the home of Jula and Mr K dreaming of marrying a successful SL businessman. Someone like Frolic Mills or Patchi Poo Thibaud who could provide her with the lifestyle she craved.

Jula had confided to Chalice that Mr K was often preoccupied and avoided being intimate with her. On the rare occasion that they did partake of marital coitus, Mr K struggled to rise to the occasion leaving Jula wondering if he was having an affair.

Chalice consulted with her hairdresser who happened to know Jackson Vantelli, an excellent naturopath who was also a first year sex therapist student who dispensed an eye dropper full of bile from the 3rd stomach of a South Sea oyster. Well known in those parts as a powerful aphrodisiac guaranteed to raise the Titanic, Chalice prepared a pot of Mr K's favorite dish, Crawfish Etoufee and squeezed the contents of the eye dropper into the mixture while Jula made Mr K's favorite dessert, Colonial Day Snickerdoodles.

Chalice, eager to hear if Mr K raised the roof, phoned Jula the next morning to hear the news. Jula mentioned nothing of Mr K's performance so Chalice asked her if she and Mr K had enjoyed a night of passion. Jula with saddened voice described how Mr K spent the entire night running to the toilet. Chalice disclosed to Jula what she had done trying to help get Mr K's mojo back explaining that there was not one recorded case where the aphrodisiac remedy didn't work.

Jula, heart sinking, said "It must be me Cha Cha what can I do?

Chalice promised Jula that she would consult everyone she knew from her friends list and let Jula know of the results.

Meanwhile Chalice took Jula shopping to MMS, oBscene, Detour and for some decadent gowns, LeeZu Baxter. Jula, sated by her shopping spree, went home with a special little outfit from Chic Boutique to wear in her boudoir that evening. She would invite Mr K in and he would take one look at her and fall to his knees in lust. She would break the drought that they had been living in and the garden of love would be rejuvinated again.

Unaware that Chalice was spying from the wardrobe, Jula squeezed herself in to her lingerie ready to rain on Mr K's parade.......................

Does Jula unleash the animal within Mr K? Can Chalice make it out of the wardrobe undetected? What lay ahead for the SL Supermodels? Does Chalice get her Mr Frolic or Mr Patch???? Stay tuned for another episode of The SLexellent Adventures of Jula and Chalice."

Southern Comfort

It's been a lazy weekend for me, and now it's Monday. BOOOOO! Have you got the workday blues, too? If so, glam it up with this amazing dress from Kunglers. I tried my best to capture the wonderful layers of the skirt prim, it's too delicious for words. The prim is a mix of animal prints, feathers, and sheer fabrics. The dress is exceptionally well made and is part of Kunglers' couture line. We won't get into a couture in SL debate. Personally, I don't care what the designer calls their clothing, as long as it looks good on me. Yes, I'm vain. In fact, I told one of my friends that I felt like a lioness and rightfully declared myself "Queen of the Jungle." She laughed and basically called me an idiot as lions live in the Savannah. Obviously the designer of Kunglers knows this little fact too as the dress is named Savannah. ;)
Enjoy your Monday and remember, Fashion is FUN!

Casualness...

Some days you just feel like throwing on shorts and a tee, and heading out to do errands.  Today was the perfect day to play up some casual-ness.  The Elephant Outfitters shorts, are some of the nicest in SL. The texture is amazing, and I love the prim leg cuffs.  Purple is one of my favorite colors, so I added a flowy tunic tank from Random to top of the outfit.  Swallowtail has an AMAZING new collection of jewelry.  This bracelet is from the Naturalist collection, and I never want to take this bracelet off.  The flower details are stunning and the colors are bright and fun.  Of course the new ribbon hair from MMS, just brought the look together.

I added these to my Flickr stream a few days ago, but I wanted to drop a little blog to share a bit more.  Enjoy!! And, remember that Fashion is Fun!
