STYLES by The Gotters!

Eddie and Sofia (vectroscope)Gotter are two up and coming designers making a range of styles for the discerning fashionista.  They will be featured in an upcoming inworld television show, Fashion Fix. hosted by the lovely Starlett Nightfire.   Starlett will interview Eddie and Sofia about their journey into Second Life fashion design and what they plan going forward.  They will be introducing some of their latest collection on the runway during the show so that the viewer can actually see the designs styled and worn by inworld models.  This is much preferable to seeing pictures in a shop.   To give you an idea of the fashions the Gotters have created, here are some pictures of items I have modeled for them in the past and, as a tease, one from the new collection!

First, from the Year of the Dragon show hosted by the Rema Agency!   Note that Sofia has created the ++WTG++ GNR-Rose jewelry you see here as well!  Hair from Tukinowaguma.

The dress is called Ruby Red Dragon and it shimmers and moves in a room so that all eyes are on the one wearing it.  It comes with a fabulous dragon crown to adorn the hair.  The jewels with it were made by Sophia.

Next we have Hera, a gorgeous, floating lime green dress adorned with ++WTG++ Shooting Star gold jewels by Sofia. Hair from Plume.

Next I present Diamond Opal.  It is a lovely dancing gown adorned with a flowered poof at the shoulder and a teasingly fluttering hemline so you can show off your dancing shoes.

And finally, one of The Gotters new releases, Lady Di (Peach) and I hope this picture gives justice to a gown named for a true lady. Jewelry from Finesmith.

Pulse TV Network presents Fashion Fix!

Well, it appears to be a couple solstices past where I posted last time.  My Muse has been standing in a long, long line of RL things that demanded attention with some priority.  But, I've worked my way back to her and so here we are.

Wow, where to start!  Let's go right to a fabulous inworld television program called Fashion Fix, hosted by the lovely Starlett Nightfire.  If you are reading this, it's safe to assume you are a total fashionista!   This show features one and sometimes two different designers each time it tapes in front of a live SL audience.  Generally it tapes live on a Saturday evening around 6PM.  The benefit to coming is that you can hear actual SL designers talk about what they produce inworld and you get a good, up close look at what they make and where they are going.  Also, you get to see SL Models walk the runway with that designers products so you aren't looking at just flat vendor pictures in a shop.  You can see the way the outfits have been styled and the way they move and look before you decide to buy.  The interviews are revealing and they always conclude by "introducing the designs."

Some recent guests have been Pipins, Avant Garde Designer Angiliak Crystal with her surreal, futuristic kimono show!  Inga Wind, a very creative designer brought her new mesh collection to the show.  Coming up next will be an interview with Morgane Batista, a posemaker who has contributed a lot of herself to the SL community.  Also, The Gotters, clothing designers, will be presenting their designs on the show. Eddie and his lovely wife Sofia (Vectroscope) Gotter will be interviewed.  I will cover them exclusively in a separate entry once the items are introduced (not wanting to "scoop" the interview). 

Second Life is way more than social networking.  This particular show, Fashion Fix, puts you right up next to the runway and into the television studio in a virtual setting.  You get the scoop on designers you know and designers you have not yet heard of.  It's way more fun than teleporting all over to find things you may want.  It certainly doesn't replace the "shopping" but it does add a new dimension and feel to seeing designers and getting ideas.   Here you can meet and greet designers from all over SL who come to see and support their peers.  It lasts just about an hour and be sure you have your volume turned up!

As an added bonus, designers usually bring along a free item for the studio audience participants to take with them at the end of the show.  It is fun to get a treat!  The producers also have a fun after party with a DJ and they dance like rock stars!

If you miss Fashion Fix in the studio due to your busy schedule (we are all very busy), you can bring it up on the web for a replay anytime you like!   Here are landmarks and a URL so you can watch the shows!

Well here we are nearing the end of November. 

The Winter Solstice is coming our way and the nights are getting colder and darker in my world.  I can go outside after dark and see the planets shining back at me. As it was too cold to be out during my day in real life, I went shopping!  Gizza had a sale I could not resist taking a look at.  Sale notwithstanding, I ended up getting an outfit I had been staring at for awhile (and NO it was not on sale...grrr.)  But I love it and so I had to take some pics and put them here for you to see. 

This classy outfit is from Gizza and is absolutely complete from the boots to the belly bag (which I just love).  It is fittingly called "La-Di_Da" and the color is Champagne.  I love Champagne and I *really* love shopping at Gizza! Anyhow,  I also just happened to drop by a friends gardens and her place was so beautiful I just had to do some pics there.  So, these pictures show that you can take this outfit literally anywhere in the metaverse and it fits perfectly.

I raise my glass to you all and say "Cheers!"

Eli Dreams the Dance

Well here I am just drifting around in daydreams and I started thinking about what is possible in dreams.  So, a dream floated right in.  I am a ballerina!  I looked around and there were all the things I needed.  I had the dress, I had the proper jewels and I had the attitude. Nothing else required here in the land of the possible.

I combined some things from Baiastice for the overall look and added pointe shoes from tiny@boudoir and I used a lovely skirt from Cherry Manga.  The tiara is from Alien Bear and I'm just feeling free!  These virtual worlds are places where dreams can come true.

Feel the change in the seasons!

Autumn is here in my part of the world.  So it is for me in SL and I have been just feeling the chill in the air.  Remembering the fun I had kicking leaves as a child, creating huge flurries of color swirling around me made me start thinking of how to recreate that feeling here in SL.  I am modeling two outfits here that are composites from designers who have enabled me to bring the memories of the chilly air, the cold, crisp days, the smell of apples as they sit in baskets in the orchard, and the feeling of being warmly snuggled into fashionable, seasonal outfits!  Only in Second Life!  Isn't it just the best?  Here we go.

Here I wear a stylish brown sweater dress from Ce Cubic effect.  The bulky knit look is like I have not seen before here in SL and it has gotten me many compliments.  I found a lovely copper toned silk shoulder scarf at Hatpins that just brings the season home as it wraps around my shoulders. I have put on some LeeZu tights with some cute autumn leaves on them to keep my legs warm and I slipped into some great, leaf kicking brown Jake Boots from Clocktower Designs.  (secret - everybody wants these boots!)  Here are a couple of pics of me in a total autum leaf fest!

Okay, so after I had my fill of the gorgeous fall colors,  I popped off to another location which necessitated that I color coordinate.   I *am* a model after all and so this was mandated.  As I noticed quite a bit of lovely purples and lavender here, I slipped into my Tres Beau Winter Plum pants and top which I accessorized with my new N-core COQUETTE TFG Glitter shoes in Deep Purple!  As I still felt a bit chilly, I pulled on my Ce Cubic effect Leather and Fur coat which has a luscious shearling lining to keep me toasty warm.   Take a look and just breathe in all the beauty that SL offers to us!  I have so much fun here!  Lateroo!  I'm off to find more treats!  The change of seasons is on the way!  I've got to get ready!

PRISM Fall Knit Collection! Runnnnnnn!

Just when you thought you could not find fab outfits for clubbing or just a walk in the Second Life park!  These new outfits from designer Journey McLaglen, Prism Haute Couture, will absolutely turn heads your way!  I took one of these clubbing last night and the response was fabulous.  The outfits are simple but elegant. They show your voluptuous second life curves very well, and they are easy to style.  The colors, as you can see here, go well in nearly any location so, what are you waiting for?
The outfits, in order are:


Black Sand, set off with Cou earrings from Gems and Kisses, nice simple black socks from CK*, and a feisty fedora from Gabriel.
Blue Charcoal has a cunning bow to draw attention to your fabulous waist.  GK Raven earrings move gracefully just above the lovely knit collar.  The top is a warm knit to keep the chill off as you head to the club to dance the night away.
White Leopard provides a classy leopard patterned knit paired with sexy tan pants, all great for dancing.  Put on some earrings, perhaps a necklace, some nice chocolate colored shoes and you are out the door on your way to fun!
Winter Garden is the last but possibly my favorite. The pale rose colored pants are paired with a complementary knit top made up of a blur of gorgeous eye friendly colors.  The bow at the waist simply ties them together as a gorgeous outfit.  Again, very simple to style! Put on some nice jewelry and maybe your favorite hair or hat and you are off!

PRISM is a fabulous place to shop.  Look for the specials and gifties as well!  Journey has been making things inworld for a long time now and she knows what you want!

Gems and Kisses Jewelry Design!

Gems and Kisses!   Here are some pictures I took showing the wonderful designs of Deliziosa Vendetta, the designer and founder of Gems and Kisses.  I love that name and I just keep saying it.  It makes me smile.  So here we go!

Here is a picture showing the flamboyant A Star is Born! in Platinum.  I bought the entire set and it comes with a hud that lets the owner change the color of the stars to match an outfit and it also assists in "no tears resizing".  How great is that?  The nails are also from GK and are called Vendetta, in platinum.  Again, they come with a hud that allows you to change the color of your nails so that you can use the same set with many outfits.

The second picture here is also Gems and Kisses.  The necklace and earrings are called Raven and I have used the gold set.  There is a platinum set available.  The bracelets are also gold and the set of two is called Shina.   Again, both sets come with the hud that permits easy resizing and offers you the ability to adjust the shine on your jewelry.  This set is curvaceous, intriguing, and very elegant.

Here is one more I just could not resist!  I have paired the Raven necklace with a limited edition AZUL gown for a dramatic effect.
