Fashion First Then On To Ramonzita And Catastrophies Threat.

Ohhhh I do love green and particularly this shade.  Both the top and shorts were purchased at FaMESHed from Valentia E. Couture.  Really great shading and shine in both pieces and available in an array of other colors and combinations but for me, I chose my favorite green.

The bag is stunning and is from Tulip titled 'Indian Summer'.  I also adore the 'Gala' hair from Analog Dog.

And to the shoes...these are the new release from the Slink add-on range called 'Tri Color Wedges'.  Thank you Siddean for another superb contribution to my pretty feet.  The add-on idea makes shoe wearing so very easy.

Ramonzita and Catastophies (aka Miss Fedorova or in my world, Miss Pass-her-over)

This person is like a cockroach, scuttling around in the dark but almost impossible to eradicate.

The other day, a message was sent through one of my groups indicating that a video Ramonzita produced when hiding somewhere at the Mr Virtual World pageant which mocked every finalist and was derogatory to the LGBT community was re-done with all of the hate and vitriol removed.  I popped over to have a look at her original video which was disgusting as most of her antics are.  I commented on the hateful video she posted and this was said after a couple of comments were exchanged between us:

Chalice:
"Too old for what??? Block me if you don't want me to comment. What, don't you clean your house???? No of course you don't, you're too busy attending the opening of an envelope"  

Next she responds with a comment accusing me of, well I have no idea really.  It was her usual crap but accusing me of something to do with an envelope:

Queen R:
"Hmm so you're the one related to the envelope. Lets see what the "MODELS" think when i tell them they're that envelope is related to you. Ha! Bitch go back to take care of your fat body. And btw you disgust me stop using alts you already gave away the fact that you want me to copybot the models that you don't like. Kty bai".

I left it at that thinking how wrong she is again given I have no clue what she's talking about nor do I use the only two alts I've ever had.  I haven't logged into SL with them for years as I have enough trouble keeping Chalice busy.  The saying 'attending the opening of an envelope' is a very common one but in her confused state, obviously connected it to one of her many dodgy schemes.  If the message above resonates with ANY models, I can assure you I have no knowledge of what she's banging on about nor would I ever contact her to do ANYTHING for me.   She is merely a pimple on SL's arse and deserves to be made accountable for her hate filled comments and I've taken her to task for it many times.

Yeah some may say 'I'm feeding the troll', a saying that actually shits me off because I have every right to say how I feel.  I say how I feel because she discriminates against LGBT individuals consistently which incenses me no end. 

Logging in just now, she IM's me this lovely message:
Miss Federova:
(Saved Sat Jul 06 00:57:12 2013)Hello bitch.
[11:18] MissFedorova: (Saved Sat Jul 06 00:57:19 2013)Remember that i still got your shape
[11:18] MissFedorova: (Saved Sat Jul 06 00:57:27 2013)Too bad your profile picture is an obese ladyboy.
It's so cure
[12:31] MissFedorova: cute*
[12:31] MissFedorova: How you don't speak in live chat.
[12:31] MissFedorova: That's how cheap you are.
[12:31] MissFedorova: Get back to work ladyboy

She constantly refers to my avatar 'Chalice' as a fat, obese cow lady boy which is the only way she responds to any of my comments.  Well Rambo, at least the many dimensions of 'Chalice's' shape are mine, not copy botted like you seem to spend your SL doing.

Whoever you are and wherever you're from...use the shape.  Who cares.  I have so many according to which mesh item I'm wearing that I couldn't give a flying crap what you do, apart from the times you discriminate against race or sexual orientation.  THEN dear, I will involve myself if only to remind anyone reading your shit that its not okay to say it. 

As I've said many times before, I believe you only do it for the attention because you can't rouse any just being like most people in SL, living it without pissing everyone off.  But I don't care if it incites you more...I believe that its not okay to merely let you spew venom without someone calling you on it.  If others don't agree, I'm sorry, that's your opinion, to which you are entitled.   

  

The Emery Board File.

I shopped at FaMESHed today and I'm hoping no-one has already blogged this fabulous contribution by Emery.  Fingers crossed.

I love this sweet, blousy T top and vibrant paneled maxi skirt.  There's lots of color comob's available but I chose this in yellow, pink and corals.

The hair is from Wasabi Pills and the necklace and bracelets from Maxi Gossamer, also available at FaMESHed.

I rushed around the grid to find a bag and came up with this little beauty from Je Suis.

I do love the vibrancy of this outfit and given I haven't really blogged the maxi skirt phenomenon, thought I would get in on the act.

After my shopping expedition, I sat enjoying a meal outside The Secret Store.  A lovely place to take photo's.  I so love it when store's go the whole hog and decorate their surroundings with beauty such as this.

Little Dress...Big Impact.

I admit I'm feeling a bit down since Mother's Day.  Having lost my mum in October last year, it really hit home how much I miss her and would give anything for her to be in the land of the living.  Not that I need a special day for the loss to hit home because everyday she's on my mind.  So I send out special love to all those who have lost their mum's.  On the odd occasion she came in and watched me interact in SL, she was fascinated by the concept and thought it was hysterical when I was Miss Australia in Miss Virtual World 2009.  She thought my outfits on that day were beautiful and booed when I didn't win saying the judges were blind...only a mother eh?

Anyway today I'm featuring a new release dress from Kanou called 'Monica' shown in Turquoise.  Monica is also available in Chocolate, Pistachio, Raspberry, Tangerine and Wine colors.  Its a gem of a dress and I love the fancy straps and flared trim on the bodice.  It sells for a mere L$150 which is an excellent price for this sexy little number. 

The hair flower is from Miel.  I do have a soft spot for hair adornments and usually pick them up around the place.  I admit to having a splurge on hair at Diva.  They have lucky boards there that change every 5 minutes so its well worth spending some time there and if you're lucky, your letter will come up and you will have some great free hair.  This style is called 'Kall' in Moon Stone color.  I think designer Marisa Kira has created such realistic hair and her ability to produce whispy, flowy styles gives a whole new dimension to SL hair.

Again I headed over to Slink to purchase some more add-on shoes compatible with their natural feet.  This style is called 'Fabric Pumps' in black.  The bag I picked up from Indyra Originals called 'Marina Shoulder Tote'.  I'm very impressed with the realistic texturing and gold hardware.

Please note, I hope these LM's are correct.  SL was being a pain due to rolling restarts and I was unable to get the LM's from the world map like I usually do.  If they are wrong, I apologise.

Blow Me.

What fun I've had shopping today.  I just wish I had more time to style everything I've purchased and get it up on the blog but alas, there are only so many hours in my SL day.

Like the bee hive?  Its a new release from Vanity Hair called 'Diavolo'.  Its so big a seagull flew in and I'm yet to find it.  Great style Tabata.

I got me some big ornate specs from Finesmith Jewelery and Accessories called 'BangBang'.  I do love a good pair of goggles and these are certainly out there.

Now I've had this top for a few weeks and was waiting to blog it.  I just love the line of it and the random patterns.  Anything that says 'Blow Me' is worth wearing in my book.  It's from HighRize called 'Blow Me Silver Balloon Top'.

The pants are from LeeZu called 'Florentine High Heel Pants'.  Here's a new concept...they come with the boots attached.   Brilliant.  I think LeeZu's selection of pants are so innovative and I must shop there more often.

I'm partial to razor back tops as they show off the back and shoulders and are sexy by my way of thinking.

Before I sign off, Happy Mummies Day to anyone who nurtures children or pets.  Hope its a lovely day for you all.

I Got Diva And I Ain't Afraid To Show It.

Darlings!  This hair alone deserves a few pictures for this post.  I love, no, I ADORE it.  Without doubt, it is my favorite hair I own and that's saying a lot given I have #### in my inventory.  No I can't be bothered to count plus it will shock me and I might turn grey.  It is called 'Sayaka3' from Diva. 

My look today evolved from purchasing the 'Victoria Dot' top from Mirror's Enigma.  I just love the soft, muted tones in cream, beige and a minty tone.  I then found these smart shorts from Tee*fy called 'Aimiee Tailored Ribbon' shorts in Mint.

I threw on a cardigan from Tram just in case the weather turned chilly.  Isn't it just the sweetest thing? Oh and look at the lovely hair clips that are color change.

I found the 'Rose Flower Mini Bucket' bag at Zenith.  God I love that shop.

Now I need to mention these fabo shoes from Slink called 'Lulu' in Beige.  These are an add on to the  mesh rigged medium and natural feet only.  The result my darlings is utter perfection.  I'm wearing finger and toe polish from Flair found at The Deck.  If you can't find what you want at Flair for your tootsies and fingers then you're a hard person to please.

I'm Not Up The Creek Without A KANOU!

Hello lovelies.  Before I run off to hospital tomorrow, I just wanted to get in this post for KANOU.  These sexy, barely there tops leave very little to the imagination but why make anyone wonder?  I'm loud and proud of what mah momma gave me.  Yeah I know, LL and Tuli may be my momma's but what the heck.

I've only shown three of the colors available of the 'Grace' top.  There are six in total - blue, coral, green, purple, pink and grey.  Me loves them KANOU and thank you for sending them.

I also wanted to point out this lovely bracelet from Pixel Box.  Let me tell you they are having a sale and their items are super cheap.  This is called the 'Thematic Zodiac Bracelet' and as you can see, I'm wearing my RL zodiac sign Scorpio.  You could wear your zodiac sign on one band and that of your beloved on the other.  You can change the top and bottom signs by touching the bracelet.  Pixel Box have some fantastic items so go check it out.

The cute little bum bag holding my smokes and lipstick is from NCparis Designs.  My goodness that shop is full to brimming of fabulous fashion.

Here's hoping I can continue blogging whilst in hospital but I'm not sure how the lappie will perform so if I can't, I'll be back soon.  Don't miss me?  Yes please miss me, just a little :-)

Dancing In Heels.

I hope everyone had a good day and that you've got some Lindens ready to spend at the Designer Showcase which features some great designers.  You won't need too many of them darlings because nothing is over L$99 and some great group gifts to boot.

This dress, called K Collection Aisha, is one of the dresses put out by Liv Glam.  Damn near blinded me with all that silver bling.

It reminds me of the lights you see when flying into a big city at night.  Uber gorgeous don't you think?

I have to give an honorable mention to these amazing heels called 'Love Poison Nr.7' from Zero Cool Designz.  I commented in Flickr that the stiletto's could be used as deadly weapons (thinking Single White Female) and the lovely designer, Ms Alyssalillian McMinnar, contacted me in-world and kindly sent me a pair.  Alyssalillian is also the mastermind behind Gacha and in particular, the Gacha Addiction events featuring different themes each month.  Visit HERE for more factual information but knowing how many people seem to love the Gacha concept, you should be very excited indeed for the next one.

These shoes remind me of a really funny story that I want to share with you.  I have an Irish friend who used to study Irish dancing when she was younger living in the Emerald Isle. Having moved to Australia, she loved the lifestyle and didn't mind our cold beer either.  Diving into the BBQ and beer culture, she decided to give us all a demo of her Irish dancing skills at one of my parties but didn't factor in her high heels and beer consumption.  She started well but not long into it she keeled over and we all ran to her aid.  She bloody well did a jump but when she brought one foot over the other, stabbed herself in the foot with her heel.  I mean right through the foot.  We were all so drunk we couldn't stifle our laughter but did manage to get help for her.  Talk about River Dance...more like River of Beer Dance. 

Oh and this fabulous glittery bag with silver metal handles is from Miel and is color change.  Its so authentic looking as it kind of droops in the middle like bags do when handles make bags sit up at the sides (you know what I mean).

Now I've had the hiccups on and off for two days.  Does anyone else get them and they keep coming back?  Damn annoying and my chest hurts.

There's Something Fishy About My Lingerie.

Chalice lies in sweet repose with her new stunning lingerie from Fishy Strawberry.  I visited Fishy the other day and couldn't help but notice the most beautiful lingerie all around me.  I mean it stood out as being original and of excellent quality.  Then I thought, do a lingerie post and show the sexy people of SL what ya got.

I chose two sets that I fell in total love with, the darker one being 'Ignition' and the dusky pink called 'Desiderio'.  For those who love to look fabulous under your clothing, I urge you to go look at Fishy Strawberry's range.

DESIDERIO

IGNITION

I love that you can walk around SL in your smalls and no body bats an eye lid.  Speaking of which, I got caught out this morning hanging the washing on the line in my bra and undies by a visitor.  I can tell you eyelids were batting left, right and center such was the unexpected sight that greeted my friend.  Let me assure you my bra and undies looked nothing like these unfortunately.

SHI May Be The Reason I Survive.

I woke up this morning (only 2 hours ago Aussie time) to a cup of Nespresso cappuccino (yes George Clooney, you're not the only star indulging), a slice of banana bread and these pictures to edit.  I had taken them last night and couldn't wait to get them up on the blog.  Gosh darlings, this is one of my favorite outfits ever.  I found the top and pants at SHI, a store I'm sorry to say, I hadn't visited before.

I just adore the amazing Japanese inspired top with bow upon bow tucking it in at the waist.  Bold peacock feathers dominate the pattern and how sexy is the off the shoulder detail?

I added the Nocturn Orchyds Fascinator hat from LaGyo which I think compliments the outfit without dominating.

I don't know about you, but I always labor over my jewelry selection because I feel it can make or break an outfit.  I just couldn't find what I wanted in my inventory and ended up TP'ing all over the place but ended up at my old faithful, Mandala.  The earrings and bracelets were just what I envisioned so scooped them up quick smart.

I went for tangerine colored shoes from Kunglers called 'Morgana Pumps' in Coral.  I'm just thrilled with the look and to have found SHI, which in Chinese, represents rock.

I do laugh at myself when I begin styling an outfit.  People who see me must think - "OMG look at her dress sense" because I have on all sorts of things.  I just TP from home without even thinking what I must look like.  But in the end, its all worth it when I'm happy with my finished product.

There's Nothing Beige About Beige.

Well I have to say I love this look because of the wonderful detail in both the top (Tram) and shorts (Zenith).  There's an earthy femininity to it.

I love the folds and draping of the materials that work so well together.  I always try to look for this in the clothing I buy because it adds dimension to the overall look.  Today Chalice feels pretty.

The Meme Of All Meme's - Why Do I Blog??????

Hey it's Berry Meme Monday don't ya know!  I love this one about blogging so thought I'd share the space where it all happens.

 

So here are my answers -

1. How long have you been blogging?
I started Chalice In Wonderland some time in 2008 then stopped.  I resurrected it in July 2009.  Half of me loves doing it and the other half worries about the time I spend doing it thinking I could be devoting time to something else.  I reason however, that its a creative outlet because I have a RL job that requires an entirely different persona.

2. Why did you start blogging?
I initially started it when I was a contestant in Miss Virtual World representing my home country, Australia.  I wanted to share the journey which I did but at the time my ex-husband was getting pissy about me being in SL so I quit.  I took it up again in 2009 because I really did need a little me time and it did help me unwind for an hour or two in the evening.  I figured my ex-husband loved to watch sports on TV so I could have a Second Life. lol.  I used to be very mindful about the time I spent doing SL things but now I'm single, its not the issue it once was. 

3. How many times a week do you post an entry?
Probably around 5 to 6 times a week.  I do fluctuate depending on spare time and inclination.

4. How many different blogs do you read on a regular basis?
Gawd it would have to be a lot.  Not sure of numbers but I do have a lot of favorites.  I use the feeds to keep up with who's doing what.

5. Do you comment on other people's blogs?
Yep I sure do.  I love to receive comments and I love to give them for posts I appreciate.  Lets face it, we don't blog hoping no one will read it, so validation from time to time is nice.  I also get a buzz when designers come on and let you know they know you've blogged their items.  I think as a community it would be great if we could give encouragement to each other through comments.

6. Do you keep track of how many visitors you have?
Yes via my counter, Blogger stats and Feedjit widget.  I unfortunately lost my original counter so have started again.  I wish I had more visitors though but that's just me being greedy.

7. Did you ever regret a post that you wrote?
Yes...on my original blog I got involved with something I never should have and it kind of blew up in my face.  That taught me to really think about what I post and not use my fashion blog as a soap box for SL issues that really don't concern me.

8. Do you think your readers have a true sense of who you are based on your blog?
This is a hard one.  I don't think I really put myself out there in either life so probably not.  The open book I initially was in SL has closed to a certain extent and I mainly focus on promoting fashion items and designers.  One of my favorite bloggers is Emerald Wynn and I really love how she perfectly mixes her SL avi exploits and RL persona into her blog.  It's an interesting format but she's a wonderful writer and commentator on life in general which is why it works so well.

9. Do you blog under your real name?
My SL real name but not my real real name. lol

10. Are there topics that you would never blog about?
The traditional ones like politics and religion...no, no, never.  I wouldn't blog about other people's choices in SL or expose anyone.  Its just not me dishing any dirt so yes, anything controversial I steer away from.   BUT I have an admission.  I do like a bit of muck raking so perhaps I'm as bad as those that do it.

11. What is the theme/topic of your blog?
Basically just showing off fashion items and talking about those who design them.  I find it funny that while so many other blogs support all these events/charities/causes etc., I just keep on buying clothes and blogging about them.  The pressure I'd feel in being an official blogger for 'blah, blah' would be too much for me to handle I think.  I'd be nervous I wouldn't do them justice.

12. Do you have more than one blog?  If so, why?
No only this one.

13. What have you found to be the benefits of blogging?
Well for me it's certainly not getting the drum on new releases or free clothing?  That's a rarity for me.  I think the benefits are creating looks from random pieces and trying to make them appealing.  Whether I'm successful, well that's not for me to say.

14. So why do you continue to blog?
Because there's nothing else I can do in SL.  I wouldn't know the first thing about actually designing a clothing item and I don't build...I just dress my dolly.  To me its essentially role playing being a clothes horse  Boring as shit aren't I?  lol    

With all the penis talk going on at the moment, I thought I'd add to the drama and wear my COCK top.  Cock-a-doodle-do darlings.

Did You Know I'm A Twin?

Chalice and her evil twin, Malice, donned wonderful gowns from Sascha's Designs for an evening of dancing and flirting.  The Damatjo dress garnered lots of praise from admirers but the angelic Chalice, wearing Tan, won the battle when she went home with the catch of the day.

It wasn't all bad news though.  Malice bunkered down at home with a gluten free pizza, bottle of shiraz and an episode of her favorite show, House of Cards.

Sascha's beautiful gown is available in black, magenta, pink, purple, red, royal blue, seafoam, tan and white with a huge variety of combinations that includes a stunner of a hat.

Let There Be Peace.

Well what a terrible week its been for the dear people of America, in particular, those in Boston.  One can barely imagine the terror they have experienced allegedly at the hands of the young, misguided suspects.  We may never know the real motives behind it and really, there are no excuses for people executing such carnage but I can't help but wonder how people so young manage to be filled with such hatred.  This world is becoming a very scary place indeed and its becoming more apparent that each of us needs to be on heightened alert at all times.  Its no wonder that many of us turn to virtual worlds to escape reality for a while where we can create an existence of our own choosing.  My love and blessings go out to all those people affected and to the helpers who put their lives on the line to put a stop to the horror.

That said, on to what I love, fashion.  I was invited to join the Xia fashion group on Flickr and made my way over to Marketplace to check out their goods.  My eye was immediately drawn to this skirt which is actually called 'Symbols Kilt'.  I loved the design and purchased it.  Xia has a lot of uni sex clothing so this kilt can be worn by males and females.  I really love it but the only criticism for me anyway, is the alpha skirt layer could be longer to stop my legs poking through.  The skirt would work better when moving if they could attend to this issue and lower the alpha layer to just above the skirt hem.  Regardless, the quality of the piece is excellent and I particularly love the waist belt attached to the mesh skirt.

I found the lace top that is part of a skirt and top outfit at KANOU.  I love the shoulders, sleeves and flower attachment and I think it gives a lovely line to the upper body.

 
The shoes are a group gift from Pelle so a simple add to the group will get you these.  I'm wearing my SLINK hands with nails called 'Black Drama' from ASS.  I've been dying to wear my new necklace from Celoe called 'Abihall'.

I hope everyone has a super week and please, stay safe.

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.
