Chalice On The Couch With Dame Edith Ogleby

Oh what a thrill! My first visitor and Royalty no less.

This is what I've been waiting for. Learning about other residents, finding differences and commonalities among us. Dame Edith Ogleby is not your average Second Lifer as you'll see by her pics but she has a personality that pops right out at you. She's not all skin and bones like Chalice but we share a love of hats. Big hats. In honor of the Grande Dame, I ferreted out my most ornate hat to join in her chorus...MAKE MORE HATS.

Please welcome, Dame Edith Ogleby and her little dog, Sammy Davis Junior Junior.

Name: Dame Edith Ogleby

Born: March 23, 2010 (but I've been around just over a year on a "normal" avatar)

Who I am: The Grande Dame, grandmother to many (I seem to leave every concert I go to with yet another person claiming to be my grandchild!).

What I do: I explore a lot and enjoy finding interesting places and seeing what trouble-... I mean.... adventures I can get into. I enjoy visiting art galleries and also frequent live music shows. I also wear hats whenever possible.

What I love: Music, art, fashion sales, and pleasant, intelligent conversation. Also, my dog Sammy Davis, Junior Junior (not a typo!). Oh, and hats.

What I want: More fashion designers in Second Life that make nice clothing for those of us that don't fit the skinny, eternally young avatar. Also... more hats. Many, MANY more hats. And I don't mean 2783 variations on what you can stick in the brim of a top hat. I mean huge, glorious physics-bending works of art for my head.

What I want you to know: Second Life is a world where anything and anyone can happen. Here one can sprout wings, suck blood, become a ferret in a tuxedo, or prematurely age to be a feisty old lady. You will meet people from all over the world who are alongside you in this adventure - and that is such a gift. Be nice to strangers and bring joy to those around you! Remember to have FUN and not take it all so seriously!

What a delightful person.  Do make sure you say hi if you see the Dame around the grid.  Now if only we could get Dame Edna Everage into SL I'm sure they'd have lots in common.  I sure see a resemblance.

Remember if you want to be on my couch, answer the questions above and send me some pics in world (1024 x 1024 max). 

Out And About With Chalice - Lurani Fashion Show

Isn't it always the way?  You plan your SLocial life and then the grid doesn't want to play.  Such was my luck today when I was preparing to attend the Lurani Fashion Show produced by Maritima Inc.  I was styling an outfit and as I always do before entering a lag filled situation, turned down my graphics and cleared cachet.  Upon re-logging I just couldn't get rid of my 'boxy' look.  Despite 'RenderVolumeLodFactor' being turned up, my hair looked like a set of kids building blocks not to mention my feathers were less than billowy.  Not known for my patience, swearing seemed the only thing to make me feel better.  Nonetheless I arrived at the fashion show while still in progress.

My outfit for the fashion show.  I'm still spitting out  feathers.

Turning up wearing predominantly Lurani, I was thrilled to see the viewing gallery full and the models gorgeous.

I loved the collection and encourage you all to drop in to say hi to Gisele Mubble and check out the pieces. Great show Gisele, Maritima and models. It just makes me wish I had more time in SL...I'd go to the opening of an envelope you know.

Be My Guest On Chalice In Wonderland.

Without you, SL would be a boring, bland place to live. It doesn't matter what you do in SL, it seems to me that the biggest commonality among us is the desire is to show our personal style through our avatars. For most of us, fashion is a massive component of our existence in SL and I would love to give those of you who want to 'show off', a forum to do so.

Chalice in Wonderland would love to feature residents who want to promote their beauty and style to a wider audience than just their friends. If you're looking to be discovered as a model, stylist, designer, anything at all, here is an opportunity to be seen over the fashion feeds. This is all about you and your message to the SL community so take some beautiful photo's and send them to me.
