It's Show Time With LionSkins And Friends.

A  wizard, Fro, who loved to create beautiful woman had gone insane from all the beauty he had created. As a result, his models began to deteriorate.  In horror the wizard ran to the strongest witch he knew, her name was Lio.

Because of the wizards selfish needs, the great witch Lio cursed the wizard by making his beautiful models, not into the ethereal beauties he had created, but into decayed beings.  The witch called them the BLOODY'S LINE and the models began  a new fashion era in Boulevard City, strutting their zombified skins with intense ferocity.

With the help of other witches from the land, the BLOODY'S LINE created clothing, poses and shoes that matched their transformation in a beautifully horrific way.

Gizza Gave Me A Jolly Good Rogering.

My wardrobe is a mess.  I can't find anything and it's like a lucky dip when I prepare for a blogging.  I found this outfit called 'Jolly' from Gizza in the dark recesses and popped it on.  It reminded me of everything wonderful about this label.  A label that has taken off with a bullet.

I haven't visited Gizza in quite some time and as luck would have it, I dropped in on the new main store and imbibed all that funky fashion until my eyes couldn't take it anymore and they screamed 'stop...it's all too beautiful'.

I jumped on my photo studio purchased from Second Snaps Studio and took these pics as a way of saying thank you to Auster Elan and Giz Seom for their incredible contribution to the SL fashion industry.  While I can't remember ever receiving this outfit, it was great that I found it and took the opportunity to see some of the amazing pieces being produced for us all to enjoy..  I was salivating over the coats and jackets in particular.

Let's Twist Again.

Crack open the Twister, Cha Cha's found the most adorable retro bikini from Kid Asia.  I loved it in the store and it looks even better worn.  I do have a thang for retro swimwear and this little number is right down my bowling alley. 

Aida Oxygen  from Aushka & Co. Poses sent me a lovely note and some wonderful poses from her last release, one of which is shown above.  Thank you ever so much Aida.  I LOVE your poses and will be using them a lot in my posts so please keep your eye out when I credit them in future.  Trying out new poses always makes me happy because when you think of it, they are so integral to our avatar when photographing fashion and good poses bring us all to life.

Chalice Wears Elan.

A long standing model friend of mine, Temperance Moonites, Manager and PR at Elan Fashion kindly sent me a couple of fab outfits to blog.  Alatiel Malies Wylie is the owner/designer of Elan Fashion and I must say I love these two outfits from the label.

The first shown is called Feline comprised of the skirt, jacket and beaded corset top.  Always a nice surprise, it needed no tweaking from me and fit perfectly.

A great match with my new Nardcotix Edna Platform Pumps in brown kindly sent by the amazing Ms Nardya Rousselot...thank you sweet Nardya.  Chal is in love with these.

Truth's new hair release Isla With Roots and hair base is scrum-a-licious and I'm thrilled to see Mr H using hair bases of such fine quality.  Yay for us.

I also found this gorgeous snakeskin clutch at Indyra Originals after scouring the grid for the right bag.  The earrings and necklace called Perola I found at Kunglers and just had to have them.  They are the most amazing collection of colored beads I've seen in SL.

Now the second outfit from Elan Fashion is the Teal Chic Tank and USA Shorts, a fun, casual ensemble (me fave word) perfect for summer - sorry kids but summer's coming in my neck of the woods.

Look at that glorious teal.  I again wore some Nardcotix magic in the recently released Sharna Pumps with color change options.

Thank you to Tempy for sending these outfits and to Alatiel for making them.  You simply must drop by Elan Fashion and check out both levels where you'll find absolutely great fashion for a great price.

BoHo HoBo Show Girl.

I tried so hard to get this post out before the Boho Fusion Fashion Show on Sunday 2nd October at 6.30pm organized by Avante Modeling Agency. My favorite designer Trill Zapatero from BoHo HoBo was a part of the show and despite having completed my BoHo HoBo shots, it was midnight before I finished and I just couldn't bring it home. Sorry Trill but I do have some BoHo HoBo magic to share. I hope it was a huge success and I'm just sorry I wasn't able to attend to cheer you and the other designers on.  Don't forget all proceeds from BoHo HoBo is donated to RAWA - read here.

Nardcotix Takes Over Second Life.

Nardya Rousselot makes stunning shoes., there's absolutely no disputing that.  How lucky are we that she has expanded her Nardcotix label to include the most amazing dresses and hats on the grid.  I spied them at Modavia Fashion Week and was utterly impressed with what I saw but when I received them one morning when I logged on (thanks Nardya x), upon closer inspection on Chal's body, well they are even more beautiful than in the pictures.  Her talents in millinery are unrivaled in my opinion and I take great pleasure in showcasing her work.

The Flair Of LaViere.

Hello precious ones....yes YOU.

Here is another wee purchase from my time at Modavia Fashion Week when I stumbled across some vendor posters with one of them showing this wonderful, fresh white outfit from LaViere called 'The Blanche'. I loved it immediately and loved the price even more. If memory serves me correctly, it was only about L$150. I hadn't heard of LaViere before and post my picture taking, I took a trip over to the shop. The designer, Azure Electricteeth (one wonders whether she can carve the Sunday roast with her mouth) appears to be starting up shop at Elsewhere and I must say, I'm excited. The shop design is smart and already filled with lots of lovely things.  I may be wrong but given it's not entirely filled, I'm gathering its a new venture...I apologize if I'm incorrect here.

I went looking for white shoes and at my first stop, Similar Italian Footwear, I found a gorgeous pair called 'Otranto'. OMG I'm in love with my feet. I have fallen in complete love with this brand and I simply can't get enough of them.

I'm a lucky girl. When I logged yesterday, the one and only Maddox DuPont of MaDesigns fame was kind enough to send me copies of all his new release couture hair. OMG people...they are stunning. I can't help wonder if he meant to forward them to someone else but Maddox, I'm extremely grateful and will be showcasing the various styles as I blog. Here I'm wearing my favorite, Maya. I also found these cute silver steam punk glasses from Amaranthus, a Victorian Gothic Jewelery and Accessory store I found at the Jewelery Fair.

I found the snazzy white belt called Tory from LeLutka and the riding crop was a giftie from Violator. It's scripted so you can smack anyone you like. Anyway, enough from me.  On to the next outfit...

Town and Country in Chantkare.

I couldn't resist this outfit from Chantkare called 'Country' that I purchased at Modavia Fashion Week. WOW what a combo. Regal taffeta skirt with drapes and folds pairs perfectly with a country tweed jacket adorned with traditional leather buttons. If I loved it any more, I'd marry it. Conservative yet the glimpse of midriff sexes it up.

I'm also loving this new hair and base from Paper Couture. More, more hair Lu ladies. You've done a marvelous job with this, in fact, it's my favorite base thus far, ever, ever.

As you can see, I've had a little blog make over and hope you like it. I needed a little whitewash in my life.

Spring Has Sprung.

Coffee? Tea? Me?

Hi babies...well while I appreciate many of you are enjoying the glory of autumn, my reality is SPRING. I was enjoying a shop-a-thon the other day at the Modavia sim and found this gorgeous body suit in House of Fox that I'm wearing as swimwear. Because I've already had a few swims in RL, I wanted Chal to don a swimsuit and get in the sun. Look at the wonderful texture and colors of the Asmara Bodysuit. Gorgeous no?

I also wandered around the Jewelery Fair and fell in love with the gold bracelets and heart earrings from U&R Dogs. Can I make a suggestion without being shot? I found some of the vendor poster's and general marketing presentation of some jewelery designers lacking in inspiration and creativity. Perhaps if you stand back with a critical eye and also visit some of bigger known designers you will see that tiny little posters where you can barely see the pieces, poorly taken pictures and using ill-lit avi's is not the way to seduce shoppers to buy your wares. This doesn't just pertain to some of the Jewelery Fair participants, but anyone with a store selling stuff. In my opinion, retail is one situation where 'judging a book by it's cover' well and truly applies.

I notice a few people have blogged about the amazing shoes of Similar Footwear. Well I'm on the bandwagon too because they are quite something special. Here I'm wearing Grosetto in Tan Suede and I'm in love, love, love.

Take a look at these tootsies. Aren't they amazing? If only my RL feet would get on with uber high heels, life would be perfect.  I have a limit of around three hours, then the flatties come out. lol

OK me got more to blog...ta ta.
