You Came In With Your Wrecking Balls...Then I Kicked Them.

Sometimes I see an outfit that kind of isn't me but the colors and textures completely draw me in and I snap it up.  This outfit from Gizza did just that.  It was the meld of blue and aqua and sparkle that said buy me.  It's called 'Rich and Famous' and is definitely not for the faint of heart fashion wise.  I remembered only just purchasing this teal make up tattoo (lips and eyes) from Lovely Mi and was thrilled to have found something flashy to wear with it.   The dress has ostrich feathers with a silver spikes poking out and a silver fringe belt that drapes down each leg.

I don't even remember buying these great heels called 'Missy' from Slave.  They come with a hud that allows 7 texture color changes so you can wear the shoes in lots of combinations.  Aren't they scrumpalicious?  Someone on my flickr page made a comment when I posted a shot of some other shoes that they were having a shoegasm.  I think thats exactly what I have constantly with all the fabulous shoes available these days.

I purchased the cute silver clutch and precious stone bracelet from Chop Zuey Couture.  The other bracelet is from NC Paris.  I found this great hair style at Vanity Hair called 'Ladyboy'.  There you go Ramonzita, I really am a lady boy now.  Speaking of which, she/he's gone quiet.  Not sure if that's a good or a bad thing actually but like a fart under a doona, it will escape eventually.  Still selling ripped shapes on Marketplace under the name of Ramitachica so is still among us.  Whatever you call yourself, you'll always be just plain RAMBO to me dear.

I took these pictures at an amazing sim called 'Dead Pool'.  I have a weird fascination for anything derelict, particularly amusement parks, so this was right up my alley.  I think it goes way back into childhood when clowns scared the bejesus out of me as did the game where you put ping pong balls in the clowns mouth as their head turned.  When in SL and visiting derelict amusement parks of which there have been a few over the years, it seriously takes me right back to being a kid but isn't that why we like scarey movies?  It challenges our fears.

SLimed.

I do so love lime.  In my Corona's, in my mojito's and on my body.  I found these low ride, low crutch beauties at Legal Insanity the other day.  Perusing the clothes in all the rooms I was struck and impressed by the beautiful presentation of the way they market their label.  In terms of the vendor posters, they give it to you on a gold platter.  Their style from top to toe is gorgeous.

I went off looking for something to wear with them and found this cutie of a top at So Many Styles.  Because they literally have so many styles, I purchased the bag, earrings and necklace too.  I purchased the butterfly hair accessory from one of my fave's, Tram.

 
The hair is a voluminous up-do from Miss C. While I love to wear my hair long, I do love to show off earrings so am always looking for hair that allows me to do this.  The boots are from Maitreya called 'August Ankle Boots' shown in the grey color.

I've been reading with interest on Plurk people asking 'what do you want to know about me?'  Being one who fears rejection and an empty non-replied Plurk, I haven't participated but I'll share two.

1. I collect jim-jams (aka as pajamas).  I have about 50 tops and bottoms because I LOOOOVE to come home and get into them.  I'm a bit like the Aussie female version of Hef but I stress without the white socks. And they're not daggy drab PJ's.  They're fabulous colored one's that I can co-ordinate.  In RL I really truly do love fashion and shopping while at home I'm super casual but am a quick change if anyone rings and says 'hey let's go out'.  If my hair's not looking too good I pop it up in a chignon, take 15 minutes for make up, a quick spray of perfume and I'm off.  I can do it because I have two walk in robes that I keep in perfect order and a wall of shoe racks in boxes with a pictures of the shoes on the front.   Thanks mum for turning the once chaotic me into a neat freak.
2. I collect perfumes.  Ever since I saw the movie 'Someone To Watch Over Me' and the magnificent glass perfume cabinets in Mimi Rogers' dressing room, I dreamed of having a cabinet filled with perfumes.  I got my wish when I renovated my bathroom and found this wooden and glass cabinet which over the years I have filled with perfumes.  People know that is my thing and have given them as presents and many I have purchased duty free when traveling.

My absolute weakness.

Anyway sweeties, remember to keep supporting SL designers so we can keep being beautiful.

I Got The Exclusive On GOL The 9th - Opening 24th May.

Lucky me got an exclusive early viewing of Dakota Neumann's new club, GOL The 9th that is opening it's doors to clubbers on Friday the 24th of May at 10amSLT.  Go GOL or go home I say.  Who hasn't heard or been to Mr Neumann's existing GOL clubs?  This new version, designed and built by the man himself is classy, vast and has a wonderful ambiance to it.  If I'm not wrong, and I know I'm not, Miss Vixie's gorgeous face adorns the back wall and let me tell you, its a fierce shot that just draws you in. 

The long entrance just beckons you in and I guarantee before you even hit the dance floor, you'll be shaking your booty off its hinges.  Since 2006, dedicated GOL clubbers have been spoiled with some of the best tunes from the best DJ's the world has to offer 24/7.

I couldn't help but roll around on the beautiful tiled feature in the floor.  As always, Dakota's attention to every detail is what set's his builds apart and is found in every nook and cranny.

One more photo with the Diva before I took off home waiting with barely controlled anticipation for the official public opening on Friday at 10amSLT.  Now here's the limo darlings.

My congratulations to the entire GOL team for creating a club, the likes of which we haven't seen before.

I Just Wanna Feel This Moment.

Please excuse my rather picture laden post but I wanted to show you my look and some different scenes from the beautiful sim, Natural Mignon Colore.  The label Natural has its home base there so not only do you get to enjoy their wonderful clothes and adornments, you get to explore one of the most delightful landscapes where attention to detail abounds.

The hair decoration I'm wearing called 'Promise' was purchased from Natural.  I love the whimsical quality to it.  It was so cheap I practically stole it.

I've put together a real mixture today which centered around my new 'Bound' pants from ASS.  You haven't lived until you put some ASS on your ASS.  They're different and can be played down by removing the upper leg band and/or the lower leg attachments.

I took the top and thin belt from an outfit from Chantkare called 'Tricot'.  I adore the functional bag from Maitreya and gravitate to it often.  The cute little pointy toe flats are from Tram and have feather pom pom embellishments on each side.  I'm wearing another do from Tram called 'A810' in Creamy Yellow.

I just want to say for the gazzilionth time that its so wonderful to have such pretty hands thanks to SLINK.  The nail color is from the Lustre hud from ASS.

Finding sims like this in SL are the days that remind my why I keep playing Barbies.  Now if only I could find me a Ken.

Eyes Wide Shut

Here is a busy number that I styled around the fab "Mohair Mo Problems Cock Feather" jacket from Lush.  I'm a recent visitor to the store but I love what I saw and will definitely become a regular.

I was fortunate to be able to fit another mesh layer, the corset, under the jacket.  I think gloves are utterly overlooked but I wear them at every opportunity.  The Celoe mesh gloves are AMAZING as is all of their goods.

As you can see, I'm not in hospital yet as it seems we have a bed shortage.  Never mind, at least I get to blog some more.

Jumping in on Strawberry Singh's wonderful meme idea, I am putting together one about blogging because I'm really interested to know about the process we all go through and what inspires us.  Stay tuned....

Orquidea Brings Out The Animal In Me

I'm feeling wild and free in this sexy little number from Orquidea.  Beautifully fitted with excellent material folds brings this outfit to life.  See the draping across the breasts...this must be so hard to do with black but its certainly been achieved with this don't you think?

I added a little belt from LeLuka 'Barbo' that chains up at the front.

I searched for ages to find the right shoes and came across these wedges in a similar leopard print from Peqe.

Go visit Orquidea where you'll find a great variety of different items from avant garde face tattoo's to formal dresses.  Your limo awaits you below...

Color Me Happy With A Side Of Whinge

When I saw this dress in So Many Styles (SMS) I just had to blog it.  I love the combination of pink and brown which work so well together.  I so appreciate it when the designers create folds and drape effects on their textures and this dress has it in spades.  I really love SMS because of the diversity of items offered and the quality...I've never been disappointed.

I'm in love with these special edition SoHo Boots from Maitreya.

I'd just like to make a suggestion to designers to help bloggers be able to credit them quickly.  Is it possible that you include your name on individual pieces created so that when one clicks 'item profile', your name appears?  I find that so many times the item states 'unknown' and I have to go sifting though my inventory to bring up a designers profile in order to obtain the LM.  Not having ever made anything in SL but a box, I'm not sure if this is a big deal to do but it sure would make life easier for this blogger. Whinge over now :-)

I'm A Little Mellow Yellow

RL me will be going into hospital in the next few days but not exactly sure when.  I'll be taking my lappie but I'm not certain if I'll be able to blog on it.  Regardless, I'll be back and will blog all my new purchases when I can.

I've put BOSL radio on my land and have been sitting with my ear phones on while blogging listening to the tunes and have been singing so loud I've had to close the windows to spare the neighbors.  Who else does this?

Today I'm mixing some Emery, TokiD and Maitreya and have to say, I love this look.  Check below for the credits.

I picked up these poses for long hair from Croire...they're fab.

I'm Fillet Mignon Baby

WOW...I couldn't go past this gorgeous dress at Maitreya today and I chose the lusty red because it just pops.  The strapless sheath dress called "Mignon" has delicate folds falling from the cleavage and clings to the body so delicately.  Sometimes I end up disappointed when I purchase mesh items because even when I change my shape, they don't always fit well.  Not this dress.  Like everything Onyx LeShelle does, its perfect and every nook and cranny is covered.

It's no secret that I think Maitreya Gold shoes are the best in SL so I purchased the Allegra heels in Red to compliment the outfit.

This is what Chalice does after a hard day blogging...she lounges on her new Dormeuse Gossip Girl lounge from Lostangel.  Complete with magazines for reading and great poses, it provides a bit of girlie repose.

I've been shopping for new things to blog and I hope you like what I do with them.  Also if you want to add your blog to my blogging list, just give me a shout.

BoHo HoBo Supports Afghani Women and Children - Part Deux

Here is the second part of my homage to BoHo HoBo. In my previous post - here, I explained that all sales of BoHo HoBo items goes to RAWA (the Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan) to fund worthy projects to improve the lives of women and children in Afghanistan.

BoHo HoBo's designer, Trill Zapatero, has created a fabulous set here comprising of silk tank top, denim skirt, strappy sandals and earrings. The details are wonderful such as the frayed skirt hem and the colors are so vibrant and well, Boho.

I am seriously in love with this label and am so grateful that Trill sent me a selection of her pieces to enjoy.

Here I'm also wearing another release from Miah McAuley's skin line Natural Beauty. Called Monica, its a stunner.

I am not happy with SL at the moment. I keep crashing when I use shadows and I'm just about ready to smack out a Linden. It has taken me three goes to try to capture my last outfit and I still haven't got it done. Seriously dudes. Please do SOMETHING.
