First Date

Our first real date wasn't as picturesque as this photo, but it did involve the rain and the city.

Frankie and I got caught in a thunderstorm without an umbrella and became completely soaked from head to toe. In order to escape from the rain we rushed into the nearest restaurant. We sat and talked shared a coke and really connected.  Ever since that moment the rain has become a special symbol to us because it reminds us of the first moment we shared together and when we first started out as a couple in Real Life.

When I saw Exposeur, released a set of rain themed poses for The Pose Fair 2013, I quickly picked up this pose titled, "Here comes the Rain Again". HANDvrk teamed up with Exposeur, to create beautiful spring colored umbrellas that compliment any rain poses.

There is still over a week to attend the pose fair of 2013. Make sure you stop on in and pick up a pose or two.

Here's Looking at You.

The Pose fair of 2013 is now officially open and I am so excited to share with you some of the goodies I picked up. To me, the pose fair is such an important event because it highlights the wonderful creators who give us the gift of movement. Their creations help us express the full range of emotion.

The Pose fair of 2013 will be open until April 14, 2013. There are so many designers at the fair I found myself head over feet in awe looking at every store. In today's post I am highlighting a pose from Grafica, a store I discovered at the pose fair. Grafica brings fashionable male and female poses to your Second Life.

Scylla, is one of Grafica's newest pose set available for the pose fair. (each designer of the pose fair has new items available for this special event.) The entire Scylla pose set contains ten different poses all with the inclusion of mirrored sets. I picked the Scylla set for today's post because it provides the flexibility to explore different points of views.

Mad Pink- 52 Weeks of Color-Week 20- Deep Pink

Every week I wait patiently for Mad Men to show. It's been a show I watch regularly since it first aired. I first became attracted to the show because it was in my favorite time period,  The 1960's. My love of retro fashion initially got me hooked, but now it's the characters and story lines that have continued to pull me in. A current favorite location featured on Mad Men is the Draper home. Ever since Megan sang the, "Zou Bisou Bisou" song I have wanted to step into that same scene. 

Fortunately, Trompe Loeil has made my Mad Men dreams come true with the NYC66 Skybox. The NYC66 is a replica of the Draper penthouse apartment. It's mesh and comes furnished with chairs, bar stools, dining room table, kitchen, couch and lights. The floor plan is exact to the Draper home and includes: An Entry Way, Living Room, Kitchen, Dining Room, Terrace, Master Bedroom and Hallway. For extra personalization to give the NYC66 your special touch nine photo frames are scripted to allow your own photos. All furniture within the home are also scripted to allow you sit just by just clicking on each piece of furniture. The NYC66 is available at this month's Collabor88.

I also picked up a cute dress from Nylon Outfitters, Swinging Fringe Dress from Collabor88. This dress is fun to wear because it gives you beautiful movement as you shimmy and shake. I've been having a hard time changing my outfit since I tried on this dress. Which is quite unusual for me, because I usually change my outfit several times a week. It was also the perfect color to wear for Luna's 52 week of color challenge- Deep Pink. Next Color Challenge post is Lemon Chiffon.

52 Weeks of Color Challenge- Week 18- Thistle

"Do not blame the Thistle that you see no beauty."- Johnathan Lockwood Huie

Today's post is Week 18's color Thistle. I'm still a bit behind on Luna's 52 Week of color challenge, but don't worry I will be catching up slowly.

Thistle is a pretty purple color found in the "Thistle" flower. The flower itself is a bit pointy, but still non the less is beautiful. I've been blessed to see some of these flowers long the roadside in Italy and even in my very own yard.

Thistle was a hard color for me to find in my inventory, but I did manage to find traces of it within this lingerie set from Zaara. I have been waiting patiently to use this lingerie set I fell in love with it the moment I saw it plurked. (any excuse to take a photo in my unmentionables. ) I Think it's the combination of garter and thong I find so appealing. The view from behind is to die for.

The next color challenge post is Pueblo. I'm planning a trip in SL for this one.

Last Friday Night with Avale

When Amara Myoo of Avale recently sent me a package that contained her newest release Lastadia my mind instantaneously swirled to Katy Perry's Last Friday Night Video, which I love BTW. Lastadia is a sexy party dress and it's perfect for hitting the clubs at the start of the weekend, like on Friday. Available in eight different color options for both the top half and bottom half of the dress. This means you can mix and match each design to create your unique look in your favorite color. Wearing Lastadia is so much fun and a perfect way to release your inner vixen.
