How Many Frogs Must I Kiss?

Once upon a time, in a land called Stance, there lived a Fashion Princess. In this land of poses and props the Fashion Princess found a lonely frog surrounded by a dense forest, seated upon a rock.

Sad and lonely herself, the Fashion Princess sat down beside the frog and they began to talk. The frog praised her beauty and grace, exclaiming she was the fairest in the Kingdom. The Fashion Princess smiled and said that her soft and silky skin shone because of the hard working people of Glam Affair. The artistry of her hair was woven by Tukinowaguma. And her eyelashes were shaped and molded by [ glow ] studio. The small frog croaked his approval.


The frog's eyes moved over her enticing dress and leered at the tight fitting bodice, revealing skirt and exotic shoes. The Fashion Princess proudly announced her dress was hand stitched by the famous eXxEsS couturier and her shoes shaped upon her feet by Sim I Lar Italian Footwear.


Finally, the lonely frog begged for a kiss from the Fashion Princess. Moved to pity by the frog's forlorn and poignant pleas, the Fashion Princess lifted the sad frog from the rock and brought him to her lips.


Has the Fashion Princess found her true Prince or must she kiss frog after frog before finding true love? There is one pose left that only her Prince can share.

Apocalypse Now

For all anti-Valentine prone fashionistas, may I present my version of Cupid. Beware this Cupid's arrows, for they do not bring tidings of love.



















In the post-Apocalyptic world of The Wasteland, Cupid does not search for love, but survival. While there I barely escaped alive when confronted by a Ghoul. If you enjoy an extraordinary roleplay experience, check out The Wasteland.


The Wasteland is an incredibly detailed and conceived themed SIM. It is worth the time to check out this SIM just for the amazing landscaping. Take your time and really look around. There is a great deal to see and sections of the SIMs change in appearance. While you are there, look into some roleplay.

Watch out for hungry Ghouls!

The Wasteland

I Give You My Heart

From that first moment, you held my heart in your hands. It beat only while you breathed life into it.


A woman's heart is the strongest, yet most fragile gift given. It should never be taken for granted, nor pushed aside when it is inconvenient to hold with kindness. It holds a priceless treasure that can never be stolen from loving hands, but can only be thrown carelessly away.


It will care and defend the one it loves, but wither away when ignored. It has infinite capacity to care for many, but room for only one true love.


A heart is to be treasured and never thrown away. It should only be given to one who is worthy and will spend the rest of their days protecting it.


St. Valentine's Day is not meant for candy, flowers or cards, but for an expression of caring and support for those who have touched your heart and soul. Whether they be child or parent, friend or co-worker, lover or companion; tell them just how much they mean to you. Never wait for one day a year, but say it every day.

Most importantly, tell yourself how special you are. You deserve it!

Happy Valentine's Day to all.

Lucky Me at Tres Beau!

How can life get any better? Today I received an absolutely gorgeous red dress named 'Valentine' from Tres Beau. Kimmera Madison is one of my favorite Second Life designers, always giving us stylish, chic and unique clothing.


'Valentine' has a combination of an open front skirt and ruffled ballgown train that creates a formal look while showing off a woman's shapely legs. The corset bodice has an elegant and intricate design with a daringly low cut back. Red, opera length gloves with matching ruffled prims are the perfect accent.


You would think all that would make this the perfect Valentine dress, but I haven't mentioned the best part. It was free! Kimmera Madison has the 'Valentine' dress on the lucky chair in her store! Run, do not walk, to Tres Beau as quickly as possible before this breath-taking dress disappears from the Lucky Chair.


And while you are waiting for your letter to appear, look around the store and pick up one or two of Kimmera's other amazing creations. If you are like me, you will want everything you see.

Happy Valentine's Day!

The Invitation Said Black Tie

I will admit I LOVE formal wear of all kinds. So much so I have lost count of all the evening and ball gowns I own. Then I found 'Le Smoking' at SF Design, I could not help but grab it on sight!

Several years ago, not going to say exactly how many, my nephew asked me to be a part of his wedding by decorating the reception hall and greetings guests as they entered. It was wintertime and I really did not want to run around in a dress in a state where 30◦ wind chill factor is commonplace. When I finally resigned myself to freezing to death for the sake of family, I walked into a high end store and was amazed to find a woman's tuxedo.

swaffette Firefly, owner and designer of SF Design, created this amazing and stylish Yves St Laurent tribute for women. Don't be fooled by the fact that 'Le Smoking' is a tuxedo, because femininity does not suffer in the least. To prove that, I was invited to dance several times during the photo shoot. One gentleman said he thought a woman in a tuxedo was incredibly sexy.

'Le Smoking' is a perfectly tailored tuxedo that accentuates a woman's figure. The black flexi jacket has an amazing texture of a crushed velvet. The high necked dress shirt and cuffs are accented with white ruffles. The tuxedo pants are topped with the traditional cummerbund. Prim arms, shoulders and pant legs add that extra dimension and depth to the design. swaffette even added shoes in the Mary Jane style to complete the outfit.

Ladies, the next time you have to go to a formal event, go black tie thanks to SF Design.

8 Maids A Milking

On the Eighth Day of Christmas, Moxie sent to me, the 8 Maids a Milking Mask.

Moxie has always been an outstanding clothing designer, but her masks are in a league of their own. The detailing on this mask indescribable! You have to take a close look at this to really understand the incredible amount of work that went into this design.

The white and silver feathers, sparkling beads, white roses and the beautiful mask texture make this mask breath-taking. But what puts this mask into the superb category are the eight tiny milk white maids hidden throughout the mask. Moxie didn't miss a step with this creation.

I could think of only one dress and one dress alone that is fit to wear with this exquisite mask - Moxie's Winter White Snowflake Gown. Even a Maid will feel like a Queen wearing this one-of-a-kind mask.

7 Swans A Swimming

On the Seventh Day of Christmas, Moxie sent to me, the 7 Swans a Swimming Dress.


I should mention a male friend was visiting me when I was photographing this dress and begged for a copy. A snowy white corset top depicts seven graceful swans gliding atop a sash of white and blue/gray ruffles. White and gray feathers adorn the hips and bustle.


Sheer white stocking topped with white lace and a thin blue/gray ribbon weaved into the lace. White satin gloves and a matching hair ornament with a crisp white and blue/gray flower and white and gray feathers top off this gorgeous outfit.

Imagine yourself a beautiful swan as you glide across the dance floor in this dress.

6 Geese A Laying

On the Sixth Day of Christmas, Moxie sent to me, the 6 Geese a Laying Dress.

Layer, upon layer, upon layer of ruffles cascade down from the high waist to just above the knee. The texture of the ruffles unique, feather-like quality that would make the perfect nest. The satin, single shoulder bodice is trimmed with downy feathers. Wrist length gloves trimmed with the same feathers as the neckline and black stockings are perfect accents.

However, Moxie did not stop there. Remember, this dress is 6 Geese a Laying. Take a close look at this amazing hat! Nestled among the feathers, plumes and ribbons are six geese, including one that closely guards her nest of eggs.

Individually, the dress and the hat are incredible designs and a must for a Fashionista's wardrobe. No wild goose chase here. Fly to Moxie's store now!

5 Golden Rings ....

On the Fifth Day of Christmas, Moxie sent to me, the 5 Golden Rings Gown.

The first word that came to my mind when I slipped into this gown was sleek! The Golden Rings gown is like wearing a second skin. The bodice is wrapped by, that's right, 5 golden rings of satin that end tied off in two different bows for the right hip. Moxie has also given us a choice of a strapless (which I am wearing) or a golden cross strap top. So you can wear this gown in several different ways.

The black skirt hugs the hips and legs, then gives us fabulous mermaid flair at the end, with a slightly longer train in back. Matching black stockings and pumps are also included in the package.

What better way to treat yourself to a Christmas gift!

4 Calling Birds

On the Fourth Day of Christmas, Moxie sent to me, a 4 Calling Birds Mask.

Moxie created four intricately worked wire and beaded Calling birds in this opulent half mask.

Thick and full black feathers fan out in a semi-circle around the mask. Downy black feathers can be seen around the edges and the multi-coloring of a bird's breast circle the eye opening. Finally, thin black velvet ribbons hang gently from the bottom.

Concerned about a proper fit? No need to worry, because Moxie incorporated a sizing script into the mask for easy fitting.


Moxie has several beautiful dresses in her store that are perfect to wear with this luscious mask. I chose her Black Swan dress to keep the theme of the mask and holiday. Incredibly sexy with its exposed leg, this dress is an actual black swan!

A black satin corset bodice is the swan's body, the waist partially covered in soft black feathers. The swan's neck wraps up and around the right breast, with the head enticingly nestled in the cleavage. A small feathered adornment attaches to the swan's neck. The half skirt is made entirely of black feathers that drape over the hip and almost down to the floor. Even the black satin gloves have a feathered design on them.

You will be the belle of the Masquerade Ball in this stunning mask and dress.

3 French Hens

On the third day of Christmas, Moxie sent to me, 3 French Hens.

The moment I saw this dress I was taken back to 19th century Paris. I can imagine performing on the stage of the Moulin Rouge while Henri Toulouse-Lautrec sits at his table, sketching the dancers.

The white strapless bustier has beautiful white french lace edging from the V-shaped neckline and all the way down the deep V in the back. The V shape is continued on into the multiple layers of satin in the white skirt. Delicate white feathers adorn the back of the skirt and sheer white hose give the dress an excellent flow of color.




Though the entire dress is done in white, burgundy roses and lace line the top of the skirt over both hips and a single rose in back. A final flourish of the burgundy blended with the white is seen on the hair ornament made from feathers, roses, lace and beading.

Oh La La! Heads will turn when you arrive in this dress.

Fight the cold with Bodywarmers

I didn't discover one outfit today - I discovered TWO! FA Creations latest release are Brown Tweed and Houndstooth Bodywarmers. Two distinctly different outfits by one amazing designer, Sandie Saenz.

The Brown Tweed Bodywarmer has high waisted tweed trousers. The prim cuffed pant bottoms blend marvelously well and the buttons on the high waist are an excellent accent. A matching tweed vest is layered over a brown plaid shirt. To top it all off is a sleeveless tartan jacket vest with a dark brown bandana to keep you neck toasty warm. I love the the use of the different materials and patterns in the layering.


If skirts are more to your liking, then take a look at the Houndstooth Bodywarmer. The black and white houndstooth skirt is short and flirty over black knitted leggings. A black leather belt with silver accents rests squarely on the hips. The black, long sleeved turtleneck sweater is perfect under the sleeveless bodywarmer jacket . The quilted look, silver buckles and eyelets and finally the houndstooth pockets makes me want to find this at my local department store.

If you can't make up your mind between the trousers and the skirt, why not get both!
