All That Shimmers...

My gentle readers, there are some incredibly beautiful people in Second Life - inside and out.Wicca Merlin and Mimmi Boa and Sequoia Nightfire are a few that come immediately to mind.  They are always so helpful and are amazing teachers of the craft of Modeling.  I graduated from Mimmi Boa Modeling Academy today and it was a wonderful time adn a great show.  I was fortunate to have a few friends come by and it made for a grand time.

I have to admit something.  I am having an affair.  Oh not THAT kind of affair.  Jeesh.  No, I am in love with the art of Countdown.  The delightful fashions that coe form the mind and hands of Antonia are simply amazing.  In tonight's blog I am going to talk about one of the sexiest dresses I have ever worn.  The Satisfaction dress by Countdown is raw gold and sex appeal.  Satisfaction?  Contrary to the Rolling Stones song - you WILL get satisfaction with this stunning dress.

The gold of this wonderful dress grabs your eyes immediately. But it is the style that keeps your eyes locked on it.  From the slightly puffed sleeves that impart a Haute Couture look to the sexy slit asymmetrically placed over one thigh, this dress screams "Look at Me".  Finishing this project was a lot of fun.  I used my signature hair from EMO-tions again - I can't seem to take it off I love it so very much.  The Chevia hair has been released at EMO-tions so get yours today!  For my jewels I chose the Diamond set from FINESMITH.  Diamond is one of the most versatile sets of jewelry I have ever owned.  The ability to change the textures of the stones and the metal into a number of great colors makes this set fit with just about anything. 
I used the Grace sandal form Gos to tie this look together.  As a finishing touch I used the Vixen eye shadow from Madrid Solo.

Walking into Countdown is a real challage of will.  These incredible creations of Antoina;s are like potatoe chips - bet you can't buy just one...

My poses are from Posesion's Giz and Jewelry sets.

A Golden Dawn...

Hello dear readers!  Today is another exciting fashion-filled day and I have a real treat for you.  I recently saw a post on facebook of an amazing dress and Antonia form Countdown stepped up and said she would make it.  I like that.  I like confidence and passion in art.  I can't wait to see her creation, but until then I had to run by Coundown and see what new beautiful outfits were on the racks.  And oh boy was I pleasantly surprised!  I found Ruby and fell in love what a stunning haute couture outfit!  I think you will agree that the overall look is just eye catching and oh so elegant.
 From the gold glitter skirt to the corset top this is a sexy, stylish ensemble.  I love the mix of colors and textures that when combined give a warm and lovely feel.  I adore the detached collar - oh so stylish!  So to complete this look I just had to use my namesake hair - Chevia from EMO-tions!  Wow!  Mirja really knocked it out of the park with this one.  All of my friends are sporting it and I have to say that Falbala and Sess really rock this do!  A perfect accompaniment to this outfit was the Diamond set from FINESMITH.  This is one of the most elegant and versatile sets I've ever had.  I mean, I just wore this set in a totally different color set to a wedding yesterday (congratulations Llyssa & Heath) and it looked nothing like this.  Truly a chameleon of my jewelry box.
I added makeup from Madrid Solo to give a fierce edge to this styling, and finished the look with a wonderful pair of Gos Grace Sandals from the Elegance line.  Overall you can achieve a really nicely refined and edgy ensemble with relatively little fuss.  Important for this on-the-go life we lead in Second Life.

Oh, and if you can't tell, I am totlly in LOVE with Haute Chic poses form Posesion.  Dahriel has a real hit with these exceptional poses.
