Celebrate Fat Tuesday in feathers!

Fat Tuesday! Mardi Gras! Carnivale! In other words, get wild and crazy!!! Four designers have let their imaginations run wild and created stunning outfits that will bedazzle and beguile everyone.

Amazing colors and fantastic plumage really make Queztal from Jador explode! ziamela Loon certainly knows how to design clothing that catches the eye and make others green with envy.

Reminiscent of the Las Vegas show spectaculars, this green feathered and red sequined creation will be the center of attention as you dance down the main street of New Orleans.

Big thanks to Anthony77777 Bandit of the Bandit Jewelry Shop for the use of his Princess Deluxe Diamond Shoes. If Manolo Blahnik and Harry Winston collaborated, they could still not create any shoes as amazing as these.


Burlesque comes alive in the remastered Bastille from Indyra Originals. Indyra Seigo has combined bold patterns and sexy styling together in this coquetish ensemble.

A fantastically fun flair was added with the pirate style hat with its white plumes. The lacy collar with a wonderful cameo broach and the prim cuffs with the gloves are the kind of details Indyra brings to her designs. Even the thigh high stocking include the matching design from the cuffs and bustle.

Bax black suede boots with a bit of white lace add the final touch to this show stopper.

Ready for center stage at Moulin Rouge, you can-can be in the spotlight wearing this seriously sexy outfit!



Come to the Cabaret old friend! Come to the Cabaret at Nicky Ree's store for this 24 Karat gem of a design.

This fine feathered dress flies with an array of feathers from the tight strapless corset to the fanned and draping of the open bustled skirt. Feathers abound on the matching headdress, shimmering opera length gloves, choker and the playful garter.

If you would think this outfit is complete - surprise! Cabaret comes with three different styles of skirts, stockings and an additional hat.

Available in 10 vibrant colors, this versatile outfit let's you dance the night away in any style you choose.


No need to be a Phantom in the night when you wear Paradisea Royal from Utopia.

The top is completely captivating and exotic with feathers the only covering for modesty's sake. Reminds me of the infamous fan dancers of the Burlesque stage.

The full length black and white feathered skirt comes with a variety of feather styles to mix and match and coyly exposes a leg from the side.

Feathered alpaca gloves from Maya's REMIX and a choker of white lace and black roses from +ROZOREGALIA+ finish off this stunning gown. In the tradition of Carnivale, I added an incredible mask from Illusions.

Whether going to a Black and White Ball or Masquerade, you will be breath-taking in this provocative dress.

Why wait for one day in the year to celebrate live. Enjoy these gorgeous creations every day!

Happy Chinese New Year!

Yes, this is Valentine's Day. But February 14, 2010, is also the Chinese New Year. In honor of the Year of the Tiger, I would like to present five Asian themed outfits from five of Second Life's exciting designers.

First, I present Tang from !Terra D'ombrA. maizon Rayna is an amazing designer who is not only creative, but understands how clothing should flow over a woman's body.

This dress is feminine, functional and fun! The soft Asian-styled texture does not overpower you, but adds to the natural grace of the wearer.

The high necked, sleeveless top, capri length pants and open skirt all combine for a classic look. This is an outfit you can wear every day and never grow tired of it.

maizon is also an excellent jewelry designer! The belt is sold with the Tang dress. The necklace and earrings are her Etrusca set. A perfect match to the dress. Zhao Shoes' Clover adds to the charm of this Chinese themed dress.

Be sure to stop in at !Terra D'ombrA today and look at her other stunning designs.


When you hear the name Angel Dessous, most people immediately think lingerie. They are, of course well known for their sexy intimate wear, but take a look at Misaki Asia.

This is a breath-taking gown combining unique textures and accents into a stunning presentation. A large black bow in back, black opera length gloves and a very imaginative fan and flower shoulder attachment add to the charm. Be sure to check all 7 colors of the Misaki dress! Each is a work or art.

Alienbear's Ambroisa II black Pearl set seems made for this dress, as well as Indyra Original's Coquette Noir Shoe Medaille Pharaoh's Gold pumps.

Finally, I could not resist using Tukinowaguma's Nastassja hair to create an elegant look for a New Year celebration.

Never again will I think of lingerie when I hear Angel Dessou.


Tradition meets futuristic in Nomine's Cyber Cheongsam. Munchflower Zaius blended the cheongsam styled top with a seductive and sexy skirt to create a fantasy outfit to rival the best.

Again, we have a designer who has managed to find incredible textures that bring to life the Chinese design.

The top, traditional looking from the front has a surprisingly open back with criss-crossing corset strings. The skirt, two wide panels front and back, completely exposes the legs in a sexy and provocative way. From the open fingered, opera length gloves hang wrist to elbow sleeves that hang to the floor.

Only addition to this striking ensemble is enkythings' Fujin Saena pumps.

Cyber Cheongsam brilliantly brings eastern culture together with Sci Fi.


Bare Rose is very well known for having any theme outfit you could dream up. And today is no exception.

Zeku is an adorable and sweet pant suit with a high-waisted flexi duster jacket that goes all the way to the floor. The texture is a beautiful flower print in 4 rich colors in the one outfit. That's right - 4 colors for the price of 1!

As long as the jacket length is, the top is cut high just below the breasts with flexi ties holding it closed and leaving the midsection coyly exposed.

Matching belted pants and choker complete this sweet and innocent look.


Finally, what Chinese Dynasty would be complete without an Empress! Of course I am speaking of Nicky Ree's Tang Empress gown.

Available in 8 vibrant colors, any woman would be a queen dressed in this gorgeous gown.

Wear it in full royal form or as a long sleek evening gown.

Bijoux Or Design's Christine set gold/green is the ideal accent for this Gem of the Orient.



Whether celebrating the Chinese New Year in casual or formal wear, celebrate in style!

Luxurious Lingerie for Valentine's Day

I admit it! There are days I want to feel all soft and feminine. So I would like to present five sexy sets of lingerie from five gifted designers perfect to catch the eye of that special person in your life. Hey, wear it just for yourself!

First from SOLANGE! Fashions, Nightlife Lace Lingerie in white. Any groom would be awestruck to see his bride wearing this exquisite design.

This can be worn in a number of combinations; from bra and panties, to a teddie (shown here), or to a corset, with or without the bra. Change the style to change your mood!

Please don't be fooled by the bridal white. Nightlife is available in 9 different colors.

Partnered with Alienbear's Ambroisa II white pearl jewelry set, lacy white Lolita Crown cuffs from ezura and the sweetest pumps from Tribal Bamboo called Like A Princess.

You will feel like a Princess wearing Nightlife.


Next, I present a colorful ensemble from Nicky Ree called Summer Jenna.
Early to bed, but late to rise if you wear this alluring outfit.

Seen here in red, you can choose from 9 rich and vibrant colors. As always, Nicky Ree finds amazing textures and colors.

Paired with Stiletto Moody's Pinup pumps, you will turn the head of anyone who sees you.

Let your hair down and lounge around the house.



OK, I admit it. I have a dark side, just like everyone else. A girl needs something wicked now and again.

And I could not resist when I saw Dark Temptation from Alphamale & Blacklace. Feeling oh so sinfully sultry in this black leather teddie. Laced leather gauntlet gloves and black fishnet stockings brought out the devil in me. Available in 3 colors.

Once again, Stiletto Moody's Pinup pumps (what a perfect name for these shoes) and daring necklace called Nornir from +ROZOREGALIA+, you can be ready for a wild night!


Who ever said less is more had in mind Ophelia from Nomine. Bare more than a little skin in this lacy duster that covers the necessities, but not much more. You'll tease that special person in your life when you walk into the room wearing this.

The outfit is made from beautiful off-white lace from the duster with its flexi jacket and wrist cuffs to the thong panties.

A bit of glitter from ~Muse~ Triste Coeur necklace and earrings and Zhao Shoes color changing Bella pumps adds to the soft and feminine mystique of this lovely negligee.


Last, but certainly not least, a new release from Son!a Luxury Fashion - Flirt! Aptly named, this lusty lingerie can go from bedroom to ballroom by adding the short skirt (as shown) or a full length skirt.

The sheer gauntlet gloves and stockings with garters and sheer black lace teddie, both accented with that touch of diamond, add an elegance to this seductive ensemble. Choose from 4 delicious colors.

The Medaille Coquette Noir shoes from Indyra Originals and Black Tie Affair choker and earrings from P&M Designs add to the sparkle.

Whether you prefer soft and romantic or wild and wicked, this Valentine's Day lingerie collection will make even the strongest hearts race.
