I suck!

Ok, so I dropped off the face of the planet. It's not my fault! I got a new job in RL, which means I'm no longer working from home, which means I have so much less time for SL now! But things are evening out, and I'm hoping that will fix itself.

For now, my new plan is to blog weekly. Daily just isn't possible. I'm also going to try to focus on events and gatherings, though I'll still be doing fashion credits. I spend too much time on my homestead now, when I can be in world.

In the meantime, I haven't been able to take many photos recently, but here's one that I submitted to the Vanity exhibit at the Dominion. It's a great show, and I'm so happy to be a part of it.

This is also probably my favorite look right now. The skin is Leah from Glam Affair, and the Hair is Truth, but I don't have my client up (I'm at work) so I can't do full credits. Anyway, just a random, pretty much unedited shot because I can. Enjoy!

And I'll see you back here this weekend, when I can do an actual entry, hopefully after finding some mischief in-world!

The Ice Queen Cometh

Just got done with the fashion show, and it was a BLAST. I love all the Dominion ladies so much, and being able to be involved in that kind of beauty was an honor.

Not to mention that the dresses Joie picked for me were HOT. Want to see? Of course you do! Outfit one, including the darling hat, was from PurpleMoon. I paired it with the Gio skin from Glam Affair, the Icicle set from Earthstones (at this month's Collabor88 event!), and one of my favorite hairs from Elikatira, grabbed in white just for the occasion.

Look at the feathers! Look at them, I tell you! Joie didn't know this before we started, but I am NUTS for feathers. And the ruff on this dress is so much fun!

My next dress was from Donna Flora, and damn. It's not a style I would have picked, but the second I put it on, I was in love. Expect to be seeing this one on me quite a bit. For the show, I pulled out an Illusory skin and some earrings from Je Suis, plus an adorably regal tiara from Alienbear Design. The nails, of course, are Mandala. Ice Queen all over!

And look. MORE feathers! I can't get enough of the like of this dress. It covers so much more than I usually do, but it hugs your curves, and the line of it is unbelievably feminine, and at the same time almost birdlike. Exquisite!

And that, my loves, is one of the reasons I was so excited for this show. There were 20 gowns onstage, all of them lovely, but I'll be damned if my two weren't in my favorite three. Wonderful work, Joie!

To see more of what was worn at the show today, head on over to http://dominionstyle.blogspot.com/, because Joie has been bugging us to get the dresses posted there. Which I suppose I should do too. :P

Yum, words!

Every so often, I'll say or think something, and then almost instantly get a chance to eat those words. For instance, Gogo of JuicyBomb blog fame recently posted about how she'd recommend blogging over modeling, at least if you're doing it to make a name for yourself. And I, having spent freakin' 8k on just the modelling CLASSES and not had anything to show for it, thought "You know, she's right. Blogging is where it's at. You're not dependent on anyone else, you get to express yourself artistically, and it's just fun. Never mind, SL modeling career, best of luck to you."

So when my friend Joie asked if I wanted to be in a fashion show this weekend, I said "Of COURSE!" Yeah, I do that. But I still think it's going to be a blast, and hey, not actively pursuing something doesn't mean I can't be enthusiastic when it comes knocking.

I can't share all the details yet (because I don't have them), but the theme of the show is "Ice Queen," I'm walking with a bunch of other sexy dommes, and it should be a lot of fun to watch. You'll get shots of my outfit(s) Saturday afternoon.

Because of the show, though, I was feeling a little dark, and a little artsy, so y'all get to "appreciate" my take on Black Swan. Enjoy?

As ever, what you see in the picture is what I see on-screen, unless I say otherwise, ain't nothin' been edited. I'm still trying to find a way to make shadows work on my viewer, because they would have been very cool for this shoot, but even trying makes my entire screen go black. Boo.
