The Garment Rack: Babalicious Boots!

BAX New Boots 0812_002, originally uploaded by Tempest Hennesy.

Being one of those (not-so) strange women who have a Thing(tm) for virtu-realistic shoes of all kinds, and being a blogger, one would think that I would have my own blog focused on the other loves of my life. One would think so, but I prefer to leave that to more talented people than myself like Anessa Stine at On Your Toes. This time, though, I need to make an exception as I just have to share that BAX has done it yet again with their Prestige Boots in black and white.

The Garment Rack: Hair Fair 2009 – Locks of Love

This week (starting June 20th, 2009) Second Life fashionistas have been treated to the 4th annual Hair Fair benefiting Locks of Love (http://www.locksoflove.org/index.html)… an organization even my RL 16 year old daughter cut off her hair to donate to. In spite of the horrific lag, the constant shouting to remove ao’s, and nagging people about their ARC’s, the turn out was, and continued to be, fantastic. Many of SL’s fashion elites set up shop for those of us who have found ourselves running the virutal treadmill of same style same shop.

While getting all that caught my fancy would probably send myself and my husband into bankruptcy, I did manage to get away with some awesome finds; two of the many being from KMADesigns and Analog Dog (both featured in my pictures but with so much more to choose from you can certainly pick up where I had to leave off. Remember me when you all are rocking those fantastic looks and, remember, your purchase helped a little girl or boy, just out of chemo, feel fantastic about themselves!

The Garment Rack: DCNY Shopping Trip II

Continuing with my foray into the beautiful, fresh and East Coast (U.S.) inspired designs of DCNY… Okie, they’re East Coast to me, an East Coaster, though the brilliant Dave Casanova may have had something else in mind… I’ve picked up the pretty number. Now, I don’t usually go on and on about an outfit, allowing the design and the photograph speak for itself; a picture is worth a thousand words, but DO look at the beautiful lacework texturing along the hem. Breathtaking!

The Garment Rack: Marvelous Minn

Recently, I had the pleasure of attending the marvelous Minnu Palen’s b’day party.  It was a fantastic event filled with music, laughing and, of course, dancing.  Ah, but you don’t peer here for that, do you?  Well, I won’t disappoint.  Not only did I walk away from the evening with fantastic memories of a great time but a little birdie slipped a little sumfin-sumfin in my pocket (keep it clean, naughties!) .  I present you the Johannesburg skin in Dark from Minnu Model Skins.  Above, you’ll see the relatively un-postworked version.  I did nothing to it but create a frame and the composite.

Below, though, is another matter.  I couldn’t leave well enough alone since, with these skins, I’d end up in postwork anyway.  Enjoy!

You’ll find the proper versions of these here
