The Weekend Haul

"Shh! Just between you and me ..."
 Paris Metro has a gown for those who just drop by Santorini ... and, while you're there, vote for the location. It took a while for the gown kiosk to show up, but it was worth it: our end of the color spectrum and the lovely frill around the top. Both our faves!

Tempus F-f-f-fugit.
 Time sure flies when you're on the You Go To My Head Hunt.  Look for the little straw hat at BrainCircuit Inc. to get the steampunk tophat with the spinning clock hand!

This week's group gift from The White Armory is a fantasy in white.  Lludmila wishes she had occasions to wear these gowns, but we're content to do the adult Barbie thing and just gaze at the details, adjust the prims, take photos, and sigh.

Looks like a white peacock, dunnit?

Rhymes With "Loch"

Lludmila's complexion blends right in.

This week's The White Armory group gift is the van Gogh sunflowers and iris dress.  Those of us who toured the western art world with Kenneth Clark know to pronounce it "Gawkkhhhh" to the disbelief and unintentional moistening of others.*  Anyway, along with a stunning gown and a perky little headpiece with veil comes a framed reproduction.  Now, if only Lludmila had room to display that.

This only makes us miss the Virtual Starry Night Exhibit even more!  We visited multiple times and played in all the exhibits of three-dimensional representations of van Gogh's paintings.  Brilliant!  Another creative use of interaction in virtual space!  Oh well, there's still Art Box.

OMG! Save Art Box!


*I make up for it by stubbornly mispronouncing Bruegel when I see it spelled "Breugel."

Ms. Ellen E. Uss



BlakOpal Hers 'n' His.
 BlakOpal has new freebies for men and women. There are several ways of wearing the outfits, but they all involve those wide stripes.  The ladies' outfit has a miniskirt option. (Boots and hat not included.)

We're big followers of the Virtual Vagabond blog, which I highly recommend, and while hounding another freebie off the Marketplace, we often take the time to see what else is in the online version of a given store.  So, while we went to SZYM Motors to pick up this free car (that looks like one of the original Volkswagens) ...

Note space available for rent in Awen next to quiet zombie.

... we found this perfect accessory for nighttime marauding - for free!

Okay, okay, I'm getting side-tracked by non-wearables and this blog is nominally about fashion.  I'll continue with the vehicular fun at my other blog: Virtually Happy.

What's that strange buzzing sound?
Once sucked into the vortex that is the Marketplace, we start noodling around for more freebies and that's how we found this amazing Dragonfly avatar at Avalon.  Although not "actual size" it is small.  It was a big hit at the last dance Lludmila attended.  Good gravy, you'd think she showed up nude or something.  Of course, it did take a while for the av to be seen.  It flies, it hovers, it flaps its wings, and it will buzz if you want it to.
