That Bloody Girl

Now that the new Twilight movie is out, I wanted to slip into something a bit paler + bloodier. -- I got kinda messy here with my vampire lunch, sorry 'bout that. Hee.
This bloodstained ballerina dress is a free hunt gift by Weird Designs, which I'm showing with the latest free 4000 member hair gift by Diva. A free color-change barrette bloom + a coy pose, and I'm all set for some vamp vogue-'n.

Edward + Jacob + Bella love + fashionista kisses to all!

Prep

Now that it's blistering hot, it's only 'natch to think wistfully of cooler climes. Here's me channeling that back-to-school vibe, a la any of those prep Gossip Girl biatches -- maybe with a touch o' downtown cool. O Blair, /me hearts you + your headband mafia 4evs.
I'm wearing a pair of free blinged out jeans by Ganked (OK, so maybe Blair wouldn't exactly do the whole rhinestones thing; Jenny perhaps?) + a girlishly sweet, cap-sleeved top for $1L at Willow.
This casual vintage styling is all about the accessories: a mini-fedora hat hair on sale for $50L by Kookie at The Dressing Room + a tres stunning triple-ropes pearl necklace + other chunky jewelry helped finish this look.
I had to show ya a close-up beauty shot of this utterly fabby oversized "Golden Wings" ring by Paper Couture, which my uber-stylish gf Dorothy Button was rockin' the other nite. As you can see, this oversized piece o' finger yumminess is To. Die. (You can also see why I had no choice but to pick up these ridic good snakeskin bangles at Atelier AM too).

It's only mid-summer, so rest assured there's still tons more 'kinis + other skimpies on the way. Still, a fashionista can daydream of fall weather style. Preppy love + fashionista kisses to all!

All The Cool Kids Are Doing It!

Earlier this week, rbcg creator Kyrsten Jigsaw sent out a notice that she was suddenly closing her store. For a few days this week, she left out this utterly fabby um, attachment which Gavin + I couldn't resist picking up. The contrary girl in moi wanted to show you this notty thing alongside the latest innocent girlie braids hair by Truth. *adjusts self*
Btw this post title is courtesy of Gavin (i.e., this was how G attempted to justify our outfits to um, more normal people). Heh.
In other news, I finally managed to win the free animated "Jamming Mic" from the stubborn Libber's lucky board, which was sooo worth the stalk. This thing comes with many fun animated dances + a trailing-off wire that was just too perfect not to prance around our undies in. -- Here are G + I doing our shameless li'l dance for our fellow SLexy crew member DreamAngel Larnia, who seemed to appreciate our supaslick moves.
To quote the immortal Elaine from Seinfeld, I have no idea how you mensfolk walk around with these things. Stuffed love + fashionista kisses to all!

Oh, Sugar

Sugarcube creator Sayuri Cremorne disappeared briefly last year, right after announcing her then-new Sugar (more casual) brand. I haven't paid these stores a visit in awhile, so imagine my delight when I found these free goodies hanging around quietly, just waiting to be scooped.
This gorges sugarplum-colored, gold-stenciled free tank top was tres perfect with this molten gold, flouncy knee-length skirt. Ahhh casual summer style.
This pretty blue smock top I'm wearing is also free (check the 2nd floor). This was so great for my beachside stroll.
I found this lovely free "Chimney" dress hidden in the store too. Just touch the guestbook on the table in the middle of the store + it's yours, gratis.

And now to show you 1 of my fave dresses ever in my inventory, which Sayuri debuted last year: the "Goldfish" dress by Sugarcube. The insanely fluttery way this thing moves, the stunning ombre color fade + these absolutely luscious candy colors -- to me, this is the very epitome of fashion candy: delectable. *mwuahs Sayuri Cremorne*
Hope everyone can grab themselves a li'l Sugar today. Sugary sweet love + fashionista kisses to all!

Taking Over the World. . .1 Donut at a Time (My First Post!)

Hi, Gavin here. Those of you who might've seen my name before might know me as one of the manshionistas of SLexy (or at least that's what Tesh likes to call us male models) but now I'm going to open my mouth and prove I'm more than just a pretty face.

Exploring the many SIMs in SL I ran across this awesome donut cannon. Yes I said Donut. Cannon.Strapping on this monster started giving me visions of taking over the world. As in, blasting anyone who got in my way. With donuts.

Loaded up with everything from powdered donuts to my favorite (the almighty glazed donut) I was successfully TP'ing from SIM to SIM, donut conquering everywhere I went. All was going to plan until I ran into my favorite fashionista and blogger extraordinaire, Tesh.
She was armed with the only known defense, a can of Flattery Salmon. This can of flattery salmon is very powerful. It distracts an unsuspecting victim with flattering pick-up lines to move in and disable them.
As Tesh approached me I heard stuff like this:

"For a moment I thought I had died and gone to heaven. Now I see that I am very much alive and heaven has been brought to me."

Then another one:
"If I received a nickel for every time I saw someone as stunning as you, I'd have five cents."

And this:
"Excuse me, I'd like to have kids someday, and I wanted to know how your parents created such a beautiful creature."

I became so distracted by all the flattery that before I knew what happened, Tesh had pinned me on the ground and knocked the donut cannon out of my hands. Thanks to a fashionista, the SL world was safe again to travel.
I would like to thank Tesh for being so supportive and helping me with my very first blog. Without her this post would not have been possible. Thank You

Gavin McGinnis
I liked writing my first blog.

It's Chic to be Geek

I once had a tres snobby art director tell me that "SL is sooo geeky." Well you know what? This dude was what my friend Rene would call a "tosser," since a) he never ever played SL (!) + b) if being geeky is wrong, I kinda don't wanna be right. Heh.
Speaking of geeks, there's all kinds of nerdy goodies in the Geekgasm Hunt that kicked off today -- all free. Here's a few things that I managed to snag today (all by myself -- take that Huntmaster G!) See Styling Credits below for the 411 on these looks.
One of the funnest things in this hunt is this "beer bottles" bike from Harry's Houses which is the funz to scoot around in (there's also a guys' version included). *Mwuahs* to my good friend Karina Larkham for helping me find this sneaky li'l bugger! The honk is very handy for gettin' crowds out of your way too.
I also wanted to show you the new gorgeous cafe-like building, a whitewashed piece of yummies that's newly free from Y's House. How great would this be for some comfy chairs + bookworming away? You can change the awning texture too.
Geek chic love + fashionista kisses to all! Now where's my pen protector at?

What's Your Tale, Nightingale?

What's happenin' Daddy-Os. Acid & Mala has an adorable polka-dot minidress on sale this weekend (each color is $100L each) that channels some serious '50s retro cool.
I added the free ruffle skirt group gift for some extra '50s hep style. -- Now, normally for proper '50s style, I'd do the whole schoolteacher glasses, cardigan poodle sweater thing, etc. but I preferred to pare down this look to be modern hawt. Some tiny pearl wristlets + a mini-choker were what I went with instead.
The new Lamb "Sleepyhead" tousled pixie hair that I can't seem to take off + that same Tres Blah skin that I'm now officially wearing to death again completed this innocent dollface look. It's what's buzzin', cuzzin'. (<--- taken from this '50s slang website which was hella funz to chortle at)

Hope everyone is doing the Geekgasm Hunt today! Fabby '50s love + fashionista kisses to all!

Hello, Sunshine

The Summer Sunrise Festival at Tableau is a must-visit this weekend, with tons of adorables waiting for the scooping. 'Natch when I heard about this thing, I ran straight over to Tres Blah see if another skin was out for the grabbing. No such luck, but this seemed like reason enough to truck out one of my fave skins ever, a former Stumblebum sale item that the lovely Julliette Westerburg was gracious enough to sneak me a copy of even tho' I somehow snoozed it. *mwuahs Julliette Westerburg*
Now: Check. Out. This. Hair. Head over heels lurve this new short pixie style by Lamb, which to me is like, the very definition of gamine. Damn this thing is cute. Where's my friend Dorothy Button when I need her? She would look tres cute sporting this around. I love shopping for my friends. And getting stuff for moi while I'm at it. Heh.

I'm showing 2 free or $1L tops (one of many gifts there; see the Styling Credits below for more freebies tips). One is by Fashionably Dead (Toast Bard is a mad genius) + the other by Surf Couture. The shorts worn thruout are $1L by Surf Couture too.

A portion of the proceeds go to charity, so it's okay to shop! Or rather, more okay to shop! The trailing flower detail on this Surf Couture "Canvas Garden" top made me grab it tout de suite.
Here's a beauty shot of the platform sandals I just had to scoop from Surf Couture, which were so cute that I almost didn't mind they don't come with prim toes (oh but yes, the fashionista in moi is quite spoiled that way). I wanted to shoot them so you could see how the toes look tho'.
A word about these poses: I saw these "Salty Sunburns" poses on Xanadu Capelo's blog here + they are sooo cute. They are also completely free. All ya gotta do is drop the girl an IM or NC + they are yours. How generous is that? *mwuahs Xanadu Capelo*

It's weekend shopping bonanza time as usual. Happy shopping love + fashionista kisses to all!

* FREEBIE TIPS: There are oodles of
freebies + cheapies here (combo of Lag Monster + RL time constraints kept me from shooting them all) but the funnest is a sunlit "monkey drum" tambourine-like hand toy that comes with an adorable jingle jangle dance animation, where you kinda sway from side to side whilst jangling the tambourine. I had a fine ol' time skipping around with this while wearing the $1L golden harlequin mask gift too).

There's also a fatpack of free bandeau-top bikinis by Pig (big square sign on the cart) that are supercute.

Finally don't miss the 4 hairs for
$1L each at BP (buy the boxes floating in the pails on the ground, outside the actual store; not in the center street festival) that are cute; think 3 suuuperpoofy "Mushroom" bob styles (in various colors) + 1 braided style.

DJ Girl Say: This Fauxhawk Is Mighty Fine

OK so here's the deal. I am not a mohawk kinda girl. Or a fauxhawk kinda girl. But Truth Hawk's newest mohawk "Tilly" hair -- more accurately, a shaggy hybrid of a mohawk, a fauxhawk + a mullet that's been high fashion-ed up, if you wanna be super accurate about it -- inspired me to show you my inner DJ girl. (Yeah, club DJing was a former RL of mine. Heh.)
I'm wearing silver "faux chaps" leggings + a tank top (with a subtle black ribbing texture), both free by Izzie's in the Fashion Is Love Hunt that I previously blogged here. Some free Love Soul nails (the ring is included!), the Diesel Works "Fight Set" free pose fatpack + some thick 'n fabby Glow Studio lashes + accessories finished this look.
*Mwuahs* to Truth Hawks for inspiring this stylistic throwback to mah crazy DJ college days. DJ love + fashionista kisses to all!

Mea Culpa

During a recent conversation with Tesh, she asked me to post a "wow" image... and I thought I would combine that request with some Mea Culpa haute couture, avantgarde gowns and talk to you a little about them.

If you are into photography, they are presently having a photo contest with a grand prize of 10K in lindens plus a Mea Culpa gown of your choice. Now, that's a lot of Lindens !! Contest rules availalbe at Mea Culpa.


mea culpa 1



Mea Culpa Japanese Sublime :

mea culpa 2


Price : 4325L

They also have a profile pic reward, 10% off discount on a gown purchase. (every little bit helps in streching those linden dollars) They also have a FREE pair of jeans by the profile pics reward sign.

Mea Culpa Purple Style Desaster :

mea culpa 3




mea culpa 4


Price : 4550L

I'm always in awe of the detail of high fashion design.. everywhere you look there is something going on with the above gown. From head to toe there is detail.. is it really such a style desaster ?

Mea Culpa's haute couture is wearable art that makes a statement.

Fashion. Is. Love.

Hunts will come + go, but the fashionista in me was so tickled by the name of the newest hunt organized by our friends at LP Design + Garage that I just had to shamelessly crib it for this post title. *double mwuahs Liberty Shinn + Slava Parkin*

The "Fashion Is Love" hunt kicked off yesterday here + there's tons of yummies free for the scooping (check the list of participating stores at the hunt blog site here). -- I was in a mood for neutrals, so I'm showing gifts that offer 2 takes on gray: slate + silver, both inspired by this free gray headband hair that's newly free at the Kik lucky board.
This first slate gray minidress by Sassy Kitty is clean + simple (I've been in a modernist fashion mood lately, so I left off the ripple skirt prim), which is also the perfect canvas to show off this oversized heart pendant by Garage. -- To this RL jewelry designer, this ruby-red gem is rather like collarbone candy. Yums.
This romantic dress by A&A Fashion swings waaay over to the other side of the style spectrum. Teeny tiny beading + a daringly asymmetric, lace-trimmed waist is what makes this daring concoction straddle that smexeh line between lingerie + clothing. I absolutely fiend for pieces that blur this stylistic line; plus the sheer fabric texture + hems trailing into the tummie make it tres couture. And don'tcha just love it when the color of a garment heightens the overall sense of a piece? This wispy, silvery color totally plays up the super-delicate feel of this semi-sheer look. To. Die.

I was also struck by these "Ladybug" pumps, which come courtesy of furniture (!) store MB-CreationZ. Their monthly subscribo gifts are always the cuteness + these pumps really do remind me of the kind of detail this store has become known for in their furniture. I'm diggin' this pretty sage green hue too. Awwws.
Oodles of *mwuahs* to all the designers for such awes gifties. Fashion. Is. Love. + fashionista kisses to all!

A Kook-y 'Kini Adventure

Summer's in full swing, which means that 'kinis are everywhere on the grid. I fell in love with this shiny sky blue one by Mimikri at the ongoing Dressing Room sale + the pareo wrap that came with it. A tousled, summery hair + some free color change flip-flops by In Her Shoes + I was ready for some waterpark fun.
Here's me rockin' a li'l pose at the Kook waterpark. -- The Kook build is really striking, with lots of evocative spaces for shooting against a water background (think lonely pieces of asphalt floating in the ocean, abandoned for no reason). -- Shopping tip: this SIM is also home to the stunning Crownling furniture store, a must-visit for any Y's House fans (i.e., cuter anis + better builds than usual; see the pic in the Styling Credits below for just 1 couples ani example).

This 'kini put me in a SL explorer mood, so I grabbed Gavin to poke around the rest of the Kook SIM. Here we were popping into the beautiful Regenboog sky home, which was filled with sunlight streaming thruout this pretty work studio. -- This was me having a nice li'l sulk at the worktable. Heh.
Back on the ground, we found a modern glass home floating in the ocean. This thing was way minimalist: only a couple of chairs, some falling rain + a single painting were inside. (That's us teeny weenies inside, gazing at the art).
We also found a giant turntable, just hangin' out in the sea for no reason. A lone wooden stool was handily situated for some quiet reflection. (You could also buy that random box next to me for free).
Finally, some chillaxin' with our good friend + fellow SLexy crew member Rene Caerndow back at her place. We were actually lucky to catch her between gigs (Rene has been a busy bee, what with all the art gallery owning + clothes making + all). -- As you can see, we ladies put Gavin straight to work with the shopping bags. He was a good sport about it tho'.
A huge *mwuahs* to my girl Nina Fessbeinder for blogging the eye-popping Kook build (you rock gf!) SL explorer love + fashionista kisses to all!
