Pin Up Kitten
This vintage swimsuit by Senzafine reminded me of the early pin-up work of Vargas so while at an impromptu beach party last night I set up a little “ode to Vargas” photo shoot. Just a flirty American kitten playing on the beach. Oh la la! The swimsuit comes in 4 styles and is one of the best vintage bathing suits to come out of this latest batch that has recently hit the grid. The textures are seamless and the result is a realistic vintage suit that is ever so purrrfect. But, I’ve come to expect nothing less from Senzafine. The swimsuit is at this month’s Flux event. My inner pin-up girl is smitten! * swoon *

Song of Lenore
One of the best things about Second Life events is the ability to discover designers, either new or just ones you have not come across previously. I found Dead Dollz through the new Flux event and was instantly a fan. Maybe I have been living under a rock…. who knows, but moments after my feet touched down at Dead Dollz I shelled out linden to join her fan club * smirk *
I have been trying to come up with an idea for an image for this beautiful Harp from Roawenwood but everything seemed to fall short… until the beautiful sounds of this magical harp met the Nevermore gown! The harp’s menu plays an assortment of 7 genres… from Fantasy to Bach…. and the scripted harp creates an ambiance that is nothing short of pure romance. The interactive props that accompany the instrument will make this a sim favorite. If your sim has a formal ballroom or even a field of wild flowers you need this!

Flux!
The build is up and the designers are ready for the doors to open! Flux has just kicked off bringing a brand new monthly theme to the grid all wrapped up in red, white and blue called “Americana!” Flux is a themed based monthly bazaar featuring exclusive content from some of Second Life’s most creative minds! This month’s theme, Americana, brings designs perfect for everyday but an absolute must have if you are celebrating the American holiday on the 4th.
Gopu and I wore these amazing Grease themed outfits by Dead Dollz on a little Americana date to the carnival at The Wash. The pink ladies jacket I am wearing quickly became a favorite of customers and Dead Dollz fans leading them to beg for a T-Birds jacket to complete the set. So here you go … The exclusive T-Birds jacket you have all been waiting for… available at Flux!
Grab your partner and your friends and head to Flux for some star spangled goodness! Male and Female items abound…. and some of the best crafted freebies I have seen in quite some time!

Cherry on Top
Today I bring you all things cherry prompted by the super fabulous Lucinda Dress, a new product by DeathRocker Bettie Crocker that was created for the 9th Pre-Release Event which opened on Sunday. It also gave me a reason to throw on a pair of Chandra’s latest creation from her Pin-Up collection, these awesomely hot, super swank Peggy Sue Pin-Up boots from deviousMind! (to die for cute!!!) One can never have too many cherries!
The stark background of the original image, although extremely cool with some hand drawn details, seemed to beg for some overlays and textures. So with a heavy and non-experienced hand I began to manipulate the images. I now see why so many bloggers photoshop elements into their pictures – it is quite fun. I love how the image appears more painterly, however I have a long way to go to get this technique perfected. I added my first attempts here so I can watch my images progress…. hopefully in a good direction. LOL
I adore the effortlessness of DeePosed poses. It is easy to see why Dee’s poses are used by so many photographers as they lend a smooth and gestural element to images. In this image the pose elevates the hipness of the outfit and adds a flair of fun. Boom Chicka Boom Wow Wow.

Indescribable
My love for you is indefinable
Increasing by the day,
Immensurable,
Sometimes love is expressible,
Utterable
But a love like ours has no limits
Indescribable
