Thunderbirds Are Go!

Well color me happy, I'm wearing Little Petits Details and I'm not sure who is wearing who.  The dress is so, well, BIG.  I like big and colorful so this little number hollered from across the shop.  Called the 'Carmen Striped Dress', I love the color combo Mz Nevery has created.

Had to wear my new 'Fashionista Sunglasses' from Glow Studio and it was off to Mandala to purchase yet another color combo in the 'Tefutefu' necklace and earrings set, this time in the 'Rainbow' tones.  That Mr Kikunosuke Eel is keeping me poor but nourished by the fact that he makes such damn fine jewellery.

  
So billowy and beautiful, the dress is pointing to my fabulous GOS 'Lauren d'Orsay' shoes in black.  Personally I think these would literally walk off the shelves if they were called 'Chalice Pumps Hard' but being a patient person at heart, will continue to hope.

Fashion is in the little petits details so see my tootsies...matching the dress don't you know.  Could these shoes be any more sublime?

Now I know what you're all thinking.  How did she get such a perfect match with the bag?  Well I Marketplaced again and found this 'Cristal Clutch' in Lilac from BeloD, a shop for bags and poses.  New to me so looking forward to checking it out in world.

My hair was a purchase from EMO-tions at the Hair Fair called 'Loredana' in Swedish Blond.  Very sleek.

A word of warning about this look sweeties.  Please keep a safe distance from those around you because the dress has so many points you could easily take an eye out.

I just wanted to share that according to my Blogger stats, since the beginning of my blog I have had over 100,000 views.  Thank you.  Love ya's till next time.

I'm Blue By You.

I've got a thing for soft, pastel blue and when I spotted this ultra feminine mesh top at VoguE, knew I had to style it.  It shows off the girls to stunning effect and the delicate lace just sits off the body creating such a realistic look.

The bracelets are from Glow Studio...I have to give a huge, big thank you hug to Joselyn Anatine from Glow Studio for consistently making the most amazing accessories around.  Her immense contributions to my wardrobe over the years are greatly appreciated.   

 
I do think I must be the most stupid blogger around and here's why.  It was only completing this post that I used Marketplace to find me a bag.  I'm embarrassed to say it, but I always shopped by flitting around here and there wasting so much time.  A light bulb went off and I thought use Marketplace you stupid blond and I typed in 'bag'.  After a few pages I found exactly what I wanted...this little stunner called 'Scout Boho Bag' from Ison.  DUH.  While I do love getting around and seeing all the shops, this revelation is going to speed things up a lot.  Why did I just figure this out?

  
These mesh pants are lovely from Little Petits Details called 'Sela Jeans' in light blue.  Loving the waist treatment and wide floaty legs.

The hair I purchased from 'Hair Fair 2013' from Exile called 'Time and Sound' shown in light blond.  Beautifully simple and just drapes the shoulders.

Now I'm ever so confused about these gorgeous GOS heels called 'Eva Slingbacks' from the Baby Collection that I purchased on the 3rd of July from one of the designers events...I just can't think where.  I would swear they came in baby pink and blue but I can only find the pink in my inventory.  Does anyone remember them and did you have to buy the blue seperately?  I thought I was purchasing both the blue and pink...Gawd my memory is failing me darlings.  Regardless, these are scrummy gorgeous.

The photo's are taken at The Flowout.  Somewhere (oh my fading memory) I picked up a folder with some great LM's for picture taking.  Hit me up in-world if you want a copy of it.

Rodvik Linden And Me(me)

Well I decided Berry's Meme idea was such fun I had to get in on the act, albeit late.

Of course I had to wear my 'Fuck Me I'm Famous' jumper from Razor given the importance of my guest.  I invited him home and within minutes he was jumping on my bed.  I showed him a few cheer leader moves and talked him in to taking me shopping.  We arrived at Gos but guess what?  He didn't have any money.  His excuse?  He didn't have any pockets to keep his wallet. 

What a disappointing date.

Cha's Flash Fash Cash Comp - #1

Trying to move away from becoming an irredeemable selfie, I have decided that Chalice In Wonderland is going to start a fortnightly competition with a cash prize of $1000L.  I love to scour the grid looking at what people are wearing and I thought it would be fun to run a competition that incorporates other people on my blog.

The rules?  Simple as can be.  If you spot yourself in the pics below, be the first one to comment on this blog under your SL name and the cash is yours.  Have yourself a nice little shopping trip on me.  It literally is first in, best dressed.  And yes...I did take note of your name so you can't trick me.  Haha.

Good luck everyone.  Once we have a winner, I will pay you your reward for being fashion first in-world.

Ode To Donna.

Like so, so many of you, I'm saddened to hear that the heart and soul of Donna Flora, Squinternet Larnia, is unwell.  A few posts back I mentioned that I wanted to feature two complete Donna Flora outfits and this is my second installment.  Please check out the Love Donna Flora blog for more information on how we can become involved.

I'm sure every little bit helps so went shopping at her store to create something pretty and uplifting which isn't difficult given the amazing selection of outfits.

I was drawn to this dress fittingly called 'BonBon'.  I feel like a wonderful, decadently wrapped present.  Anyone want to open me?

As I said, I wanted to be 'Donna Flora'd' from head to toe and apart from the skin and hair, everything else is pure Squinternet.

I'm loving the fusion of the dress with the two tone pink 'Milva' heels.  Good choice Cha!

I think Squinternet does the best jewellery.  The details are exquisite and you only have to cam in close to see the intricate work involved in each piece.  I chose the 'Gloria' set for this outfit with color change hud and its stunning.  How utterly fitting that she won the BOSL Award for Best Jewellery in 2011.

Now the hair was either a freebe or dollarbie from Hair Fair 2013 created by Loovus Dzevavor called 'Hourglass'.  It was a fat pack and I chose to show the color 'Ditzie 1'.  I love the interplay between the hair and the skirt...it's bouffant all the way darlings. Hopefully this hair will be available in store too once the Fair has finished.

Although I have never met Squinternet, it is through her creations that she speaks to me (and all of us who have ever worn her designs).  I send you heart-felt thanks for sharing yourself in SL and making it a more beautiful place to dwell.  While we may not enjoy your designs in their physical form, there's nothing virtual about your artistry and the fact we can take pictures and capture the brilliance.

Hey, Hey, It's Nearly Bandana Day!

I knew it!  I knew it!  The creators and designers who contributed to Bandana Day in aid of Wigs For Kids have outdone themselves this year.  For those who don't know, it's Bandana Day tomorrow (Sunday 29th July) and that means take off your fabulous hair and whip on a fabulous bandana purchased exclusively from Hair Fair 2013.  At only $50L a bandana, I'm sure you can stretch the budget to purchase a few knowing that every cent will contribute to providing wigs for kids in need.

Here are a few of my favorites created by the talented people behind SL Fashion Passion blog, Zaara, Virtually Dressed blog, LeLutka, OhMai and Mel Vanbeeck.

I wanted to mention my jumper, shirt and leggings that I recently purchased from a store I hadn't heard of before called JP:dsg,  The designer, Jasper Potez has some amazing items and these pieces are no exception.  The jumper is simply unreal.  You know when you purchase something and you aren't sure how it'll look and then when you pop it on you just love it?  This was one of those times.

Anyway sweeties...PLEASE go get some bandana's and show the world how beautiful you are without your hair.

Beachy Keen.

OMG darlings.  It's seems like ages since I last posted because I had an unexpected trip to hospital and stayed a week.  God I could get used to getting breakfast, lunch and dinner in bed but not the constant poking and prodding.  My diabetes levels were all over the shop and I couldn't seem to get it stabilized with my insulin so off I went in a big ambulance.  Would have much preferred a limo but I did get a nice shot of morphine so it wasn't all bad.

Prior to my unexpected departure, I took these shots of beach wear sent to me from the label ASO.  Very cute and available in a good range of designs and colors.

Unfortunately my time away coincided with Hair Fair 2013 but at least I could get this hair creation in from Bizarre Hair called 'Roots' that came with the earrings and necklace.  It reminds me of coral and seaweed so thought it apt for my beach look.

Here are my Tri-Color Wedges from Slink.  I'm so pleased that I lashed out and purchased the fat pack because they really come into their own when you have a large palette of colors to mix and match with.

Even though I've been away for over a week I feel so out of touch with SL happenings...I'm off to check out what I've been missing.  Until my next post, stay cool.

"Play Misty For Me Donna Flora"

Having recently heard that one of SL's most favorite and loved designers, Squinternet Larnia from Donna Flora, has been seriously struggling with her heath for some time now, I wanted to dedicate two posts to her entirely - top to toe.  This was a way in which I could purchase items from Donna Flora which in turn assists Squinternet in a small way and to use my blog to encourage others to also support her during such a difficult time to buy up big also.

I've included a link to the Love Donna Flora event blog and the Love Donna Flora Flickr page where you can show off your Donna Flora finery and a message to Squinternet which I'm sure will cheer her up.  You can also make a donation on the blog itself.  Coupled with an influx to her store to buy her fantastic clothing and the 'donation' option on the blog, here's hoping that the money raised will assist her in some small way toward what must be huge medical bills.  Keep track of the blog to find out when upcoming events are scheduled between the 25th of July to the 11th of August.

The lovely Monica Outlander of Miamai fame sent out an informative note card explaining Squinternet's current condition and has been helping move vendor poster's to Squinternet's new store (here) and also to a satellite shop at Miamai (here).   It really is so touching to see people helping people in need which SL seems to do well and thanks to Monica for advocating on Squinternet's behalf so we can in fact help.

   
I'm dressed in Donna Flora from head to toe wearing this ultra feminine outfit called 'Misty' that includes the glow mesh inspired top, floaty skirt and belts.  The watch and beautiful ring you see are a small taste of the amazing talents of Squinternet designing jewellery.

The hat of all hats, necklace and earrings all have the hallmark of the the beauty that is Donna Flora.

As if that isn't enough, these divine shoes called 'Jesse' shown in Blush are also available from Donna Flora.  I love this whimsical outfit that sums up for me what her label is about.

I send you all the positive affirmations I can muster Squinternet - you are the doyen of Diva in my book.

Summer Lovin'

I know I've seen this outfit blogged before but to me, it deserves special recognition because I think its utterly fabulous and was sent to me by designer Magritta from Mags (loves) B.  She actually uses the sideways (V) and (3) to make a heart, but for some reason when I do this, it sends the rest of my typing into HTML so just imagine the name...I've given the link however.


What you receive with each purchase of your color choice is the bikini top, shorts, sandals, bag and sunglasses.  The colors are rust, purple and emerald.  They are just so sweet and I adore the Aztec design.

Here is the outfit shown in its completeness but thought I'd capture the three of them to show you the beautiful colors.

'RUST'

'EMERALD'

'PURPLE'

This is beachwear at it's best and I for one can't wait to go shopping at Magritta's store, whether inworld or at the Marketplace.

Rust:
Hair is from a new shop to me called [JP]dsg.

Emerald:
Hair is from Diva.

Purple:

Mr Virtual World Winner - Mr Australia - Erik Bayn

Yesterday (Saturday July 6 at 10am) I had the privilege of being one of the judges in the Mr Virtual World pageant and what an event it was.  Superbly hosted by Ms Persia Bravin and Ms Carilynn OHare, I was totally impressed with the caliber of the top 13 contestants I was there to judge.

For any of the doubter's, let me impress upon you that it is the judges throughout the competition who score the many categories that pick the eventual winner.  It was so difficult scoring the contestants to give us our top 5 and even harder scoring to secure the winner.  I had so much fun and having been in their place a few years ago, know that one has to have stamina, commitment and style to get to the end, let alone win it.

I was thrilled to see Mr Australia, Erik Bayne, win the event but the competition was truly stiff and any one of them deserved the title. Congratulations to Erik, the runners up and all who participated in the pageant and behind the scenes.  It went off without a hitch which just goes to show the professionalism of the people running it.

   
I chose to wear this LBD by Little Petits Details called 'Dancing Dress'.   I dressed it up with a stunning scarf from Zeery's, black mesh gloves by Celoe and wore the diamonds from a pair of Cheeno gloves I purchased ages ago that sit over the hand.  I splashed out of the set of 'Tefutefu' earrings from Mandala.

Every one present looked stunning and all appeared to enjoy the pageant enormously.  I know Erik has a big year ahead as Mr Virtual World 2013 and I wish him the best of Aussie luck.

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.   

  

I'm Eating Toast Because I'm FaMISHed From FaMESHed.

With my tilted but not tarnished crown, I'm bringing you another outfit from FaMESHed.  This time it's a dress from E! Eclectic Apparel and Accessories called 'Militia' in Snow and fabulous shoes and socks from LaRoo.

The mesh dress is lovely and has a zipper at the front and button embellishments with an arrow pattern panel in the front.

Again I stopped for a rest and to take in the beautiful surroundings at Lucrecia Island, home of the fashion label Tulip.  Its so restful there and you can shop too...my kind of place.

I purchased the earrings and delicate necklace from Noodles.  Really cute shop with pretty colored jewellery.  My watch is from Donna Flora and bag from GOS. 

Here are the shoe's from LaRoo called 'Alice Knee High Pumps.  Gorgeous in my opinion and what I love is the face that the socks hud contains 24, yes 24, different options. 

Hope you have as much fun at FaMESHed as I did.  My purse is bare...not even a moth in there.
