The Garment Rack: Chantkare Wild Side

Freedom from coats, sweaters and scarves, even if virtual, can bring out a bit of the wild in just about anyone and CHANTKARE certainly does not disappoint with Applonia Criss’ pretty Leetah cheetah.

The Garment Rack: Bliss(ful) Valentine

One can barely go two steps without Valentines this or Valentines that. Pinks and flowers, and fluff for as far as the eye can see… and January hasn’t even ended yet!  Here’s a little something from Amutey Decuir of Bliss Couture to have some of you looking forward to February.

The Garment Rack: Chantkare Tricot Resorting

If there is one thing I love about this time of year, and for those who follow the RL fashion trends, it’s that transition from fall/winter to spring/summer even before the snow has had a chance to melt away.  For the talent behind CHANTKARE, the transition follows RL trends in gorgeous color and style.  This one is new, and vibrant, from their Pre Resort Sunshine 2012.

The Garment Rack: Show Your Metal

Sometimes, one is presented with a challenge; in this our third week of 52 Weeks of Color Part Deux challenge, where it’s a personal fight to pull away from what might be stereotypical.  After all, in the fun of all of this we strive to be different… to stand out from the crowd, even if just a little.  For some iron might bring thoughts the cold days of winter, or the clicks and ticks of robotic gear.  I, though, hope to convey a bit of both and visit an imaginative desiger, and designs, I haven’t been to in a long time.

The Garment Rack: Electrify Me Indigo

Doing what I do, and liking what I like, I try to stay on top of the color trends.  Granted, it’s been a bit busy lately but I had been expecting a pastel spring and summer so I ran into a bit of a panic when I saw what was next on the agenda for this week’s 52 Weeks of Color Part Deux challenge.  Where in the world was I going to find ‘Electric Indigo’??

Well, I’m quite used to making do so, make do I did…

The Garment Rack: Chantkare Mesh… STAT!

With the unavoidable lure of MESH in the Second Life(tm) landscape it is getting harder and harder to not want… no, need, to update to one of the myriad of viewers (as buggy, laggy and unstable as some of them are) so that one can, at least, see what beauties these talented designers have wrought.

When, just recently, I got this delicious new MESH dress from CHANTKARE I could not help but grin and almost whisper….  “Welcome to the darkside.  We have cookies!”

The Garment Rack: DIRAM’s Gaga Lil Monster Mash

In that inventory folder deep enough to lose God, the Titanic and a mailman or two, I had to call this outfit that I wore to KMadd’s official lounge opening my Lady Gaga Melange.  If you look carefully, you may be able to pick out the bits and pieces used to pull this look together from those new DIRAM releases.

In case you were wondering, it was a FANTASTIC and fun party; and it was nice to run into some old and familiar faces.  Don’t forget to pick up your copy of L’Homme Magazine…  Rawr.

The Garment Rack: Color Coral Challenge

Onward and upward.  No more time to rest on my laurels as I quietly make my way through my fifth rez day.  There’s a challenge to be taken part in!

This week, Luna Jubilee‘s 52 Weeks of Color Part Deux challenge is…

Temptable – Five Years Strong

On January 12th, 2007, a curious former MU*er… (that would be Multi-User Dimension/eXperience etc for y’all who don’t know) logged into Second Life at the invitation of an old friend who thought/hoped it would be an excellent marketing avenue for a mutual business.

She, unfortunately, left but the person she’d invited, Tempest Hennesy, remained.

The Garment Rack: DCNY Feathered Lady… Marmalade

Admittedly, while photographing this gorgeous new number from DCNY, my head was ringing with what may just be the most stereotypical song to go along with this visual:  Lady Marmalade by Christina Aguilera, Lil’ Kim, Mya and Pink.
