I was asked to be one of the stylists for Le.Look! shopping district during August! We are looking at 4 weeks of great styling fun, and everything we wear basically you can get there. It is one of my personal favorite shopping sims, so I was thrilled and honored when Anemysk Karu of Glow Studio asked me to do this with her!

For our first week we decided to go with retro glam fun schawam! Every Saturday you can see what we come up with on the Le.Look blog, and you also don't want to miss out on the amazing photo work of Jordan Giant who will be photographing us. I'm so excited! (Can you tell?)

I will participate in my first hunt ever! Weee!!

The hunt is special because it highlights us pose makers in SL! The PRO POSERS hunt goes from 15 to 30 August.

Over 30 pose shops and makers are participating and that is just fantastic.

Twee So Cute I Can Be!

While surfing around Flickr I came across a picture that I found both intriguing and very compelling.

Look here.

The dress worn in it piqued my interest becasue of its unusual silhouette. I asked Imogen Silversmith the artist behind this amazing picture, and she told me the dress was made by Manatee McMillan, owner of Twee.

I had never heard of this store and tped over quickly! To my surprise the store was completly new and not totally built yet. but that didn't stop me from buyin' buyin'! I dont care what vendors look like if I know the content is awesome!

Twee has quirky fun dresses with differently styled skirts, and great stockings!

I went back now and the store looks real nice.

I fell in love with this dress. The guppy. The sleeves comes in two sizes and are mod, so you can play with them however you want!

This dress and my new pose set (here) inspired me so much I had to create a new shape to fit them!

Isn't she just adorable! I should call her Tweelie! I am in LOVE! (OK, I know I'm nuts.)

She became cuteness overload when I wore &Bean's the Anger skin. &Bean has fab clothes too, I had no idea!

I pulled out some hats I have from Chapeau tres Mignon, knowing they have that vintage class I was after and voilá, the look perfected.

If you consider yourself any type of fahionista, you have to own hats from Chapeau, it's SL fashion law!

The hat together with the Alyssa Diamond BitchStick (lol fun name!) from Foxy's Smoke Shop, made me feel so 50's!

The ChickyChic Pumps from Periquita completed the outfit. Periquita shoes by Erpla Prieto are so fun and retro cute. I know Erpla and she always strives for original well made designs, her shoes sure are unique in SL. Love it! I'm so proud of you girl! The necklace is from Paper Couture, one of the best pieces in their new collection.

In one of the pictures I had taken, I thought I looked like of those paper angel scraps you can collect.

I had a bunch of these as a child! But they were in a mess, everybody else I knew had them in binders in perfect order.

So I played a bit in Photoshop.

..::DARE::.. Antoine Picard pose set

While surfing the net looking for inspiration I found the fashion photos of RL photographer Antoine Picard. I was instantly drawn to his pictures and the models' strong yet delicate poses.

I knew I had to bring them in-world. 

Since none of the pictures had any lower body shown, I was able to intrepret each pose and create a lower body I felt suited the mood of each pose.

I made 2 versions, one standing and one seated or laying.

Only available at: ..::DARE::.. 

The pack is only 400L for 10 poses, each one with a vunerable yet strong feminine feeling.

All the poses can be bought separately as well.

You know what to do!

Hugs!

..::DARE::.. Robert Longo Poses

About a week ago the wonderful Marleen Vaughan posted a challenge for all

posers on the blog Fashionphiles.

I decided to give it a go, since I already was planning on releasing a bunch of fierce poses in the near future. This was the perfect kick my procrastinating butt needed. Of course it helped that the poses she wanted made were, to say the least out of the ordinary!

She wanted the RL artist Robert Longo's graphic works of art, with strong movement and intense moments captured through dancers in motion. These paintings instantly catches your attention and draws you in!

This was the perfect challenge to hone my skills!

Check out the whole range of Robert Longo's art here! Robert Longo Gallery

After sending my poses over to Marleen, thinking I'd get a cute picture of her posing back as thanks, I started preparing my first animation vendor.

Only available at: ..::DARE::.. Haute Couture

Each pose is also sold separately. The pack is only 400L for 10 amazing poses you can shoot from ANY angle.

Well..it seems Marleen didn't send a cute picture back. SHE MADE A WHOLE MAGAZINE!!

Together with Bakersfield Kidd and Lourdes Galicia she put together this incredible tribute to Longo's poses and the posemakers that took the challenge.

You owe it to your self to check it out!

The Robert Longo Experience

The pictures are some of the strongest SL photographic works of art I've seen!

PLEASE NOTE: All photography by Bakersfield Kidd is produced COMPLETE in world. No photoshop or post production editing is involved. For more on his work, please go to The Gasoline Burn Gallery.

Spring with Asian Blossom!

Finally the sun is shining outside and the birds are chirping. The grass is green and the flowers are coming out. I was overwhelmed by the lovley meadow in the new Zanzo sim. It was so wonderful I stayed for a whole day. 

Oh, how nice to run and skip in the grass!

This shot was edited by the very talented Anya Ohmai. I love how playlful I look in her shot!

Peek-a-boo!

It was so quiet and calm as the sun was setting, I rested in the grass till complete dark.

For the longest time I have been thinking about putting an outfit together with lots of color.

I saw the head piece at Ce Cubic and I knew I had to have it. Theme purple/yellow was born. Isn't it wonderful we can search Inventory! I looked for something yellow and, there it was. I didn't know that I already had this super cute, perfect for easter, dress by Aoharu. 

Flowers! When I bought these tights from Amerie's Naughty a looong time ago. I never actually thought I'd wear them. I sometimes buy things just cause they so special and well made, I have to own them. It's a way for me to show appreciation to the creator. So, remembering they were covered with flowers, to match the dress,  I tried them on. Perfect match! It's funny too that the new Itutu sim opens with Amerie's store in it, cause all the old LM's didn't work when I was searching for Slurls! You need to update your vendors hun!

The head piece reminds me of a gypsy fortune teller, and those have BIG earrings. The biggest I had were these from Creamshop. The bangle from Fresh Baked Goods was easy to match since it is scripted with mulitple choices of colors and stones. Plus it is chunky and fun just like the earrings.

The shoes was a bit difficult for me to find. I initially wanted someting in burgundy or purple. But who can resist Armidi? It's not that often I get to put on these babies. So aqua it became instead.

All the poses are by me. Soon to be released ..::DARE:::. Poses.

Too Couture To Be True!

I am always on the look out for exciting hair, also the bigger the better..lol. So when I found this amazing updo, well let's just say that the hair got me started....:D

The dress, by Amariah Francis, is so stylish and fun. I knew the cute bubbIe skirt was the perfect match for the hair. LOVE! 

The second I put it on though,I knew I needed a splash of color. This incredble collar, by Elate!, pure sculptie fashion design genius, imho, totally made the look. It is part of a dress, but works wonders all by itself, as well. The shoes by Storm Schmooz(who needs to release some new stuff soon!) was the perfect red to complete the outfit.

I felt so too couture, I had to take pics!

The pics are taken only with windlight settings(my new toy).No post processing. I hope you like it!

Body:
Hair: Labieja - Elina (noir)
Skin : CHAI Skins - Indigo Freckle Sugar(old group gift)
Eyes: Miriel Eyes - Dirty Blue, Cake - Flutter lashes,

Fashionable Relay Challenge #21

I'd been following the fashionable baton being passed on, getting more and more excited, even nervous, and finally when I get to my turn in this wonderful challenge by Sasy Scarborough. I had to go visit my in-laws for the week-end! YAY, happy times!!!That explains the delay in posting, people! Well..now I'm back home..time for fun!

Thank you Newdoll from Just A Girl's Blog  for handing over the baton. Lovely ensemble you put together, making it quite hard for me to pick what to relay, I must admit! Shoes, hair, shorts and shirt, I wanted it all!

The beautiful white flower on Newdoll's neck caught my attention right away though, when reading her post, and since I'd never been to LOULOU&CO, the Nostalgia necklace will be my item to relay.

(I had to have it too, anyway)

I decided I didn't want to go with the brands I love to wear, but to try and look for new stuff out there, visit stores I'd never bought stuff from or perhaps even knew about before. I guess it wouldn't be a challenge if I went with what I knew, otherwise I'd picked those Maitreya Soho Boots INSTANTLY! Since I have them ALL! haha...

Seeing as many of the posts in the relay have been more casual in style, I wanted to couture it out for you y'all.

I don't know how to dress causal as female! LOL! Yeah..I'm the only male in this challenge. ;)

It was time for me to enter unknown fashion land!

Here goes!

Phew! What a day! This was some challenge I have to say, to go couture with only separates and shops I don't really know! It was HARD I tell you! I don't think I've ever tp around as much as today! Bearing with lag and crashes takes its toll!

I have to admit though, not everything are from stores I've never bought from or heard of. Some items I already had in my inventory, things I always wear and know I won't find better, not worth trying to look even.

So I began searching for what might match the flower on my neck, and this is what I came up with.

Clothes:

Top: AMARIAH - Mist, Crochet Lace Top.

The lace detailing in this top is just amazing and the different textures below the chest makes this little top couture stylish. The second I saw it I knew I had to have it on me! And boy was it time to find something I'd been looking all day! The top also comes with lace sleeves on glove layer.

I have a feeling this little store will soar!

Jacket: *Fishy Strawberry* - Decadence Mongolian Fur - Coal

Nothing says Couture Lux more than a lush fur bolero jacket!

Skirt: Mimikri hot couture - Paris black/Evening Skirt

The skirt is so big and luxurious, I had to make it bigger! I love to sexy walk in it! LOL!

Besides I needed something to compensate the jacket.

Tights: *Sheer* -Tights 27: Opaque Black

OK, I had this in my inventory. If you don't have nylon stockings from Sheer, you don't have nylon stockings. So what if you can't see them! ;)

Accessories:

Headpiece: [gisele] - hair/Zoe nuit head accessory

The sweater I have from this store, is pure sculptie wearable art. So going into the shop I had a feeling I would find something I'd like. But how could I have known that this little exquisite flower head piece would be there waiting for me, all matchy matchy with the crotchet lace top.

This is sold with a 4 pack of hair, but the hair didn't fit my large couture head!

Earrings: *kraftika jewelery - Earrings No 115

This set comes with an equally lovely necklace. The natural pearl shapes did it for me. I have to go back and snatch up the rest of the cute and interesting jewelery they had!

Shoes: Maitreya - Mishima Dawn - Patent Mix Liquorice

Had this in my inv already, however in Auburn, apparently not sold anymore. Well it didn't hurt to get the all black ones either. LOVE!

Gloves: Fleur(formerly TaP) - Leather Gloves Merlot

Just get the fat packs. Best gloves ever!

Necklace: LOULOU&CO - Nostalgia necklace

This necklace has so much going on, you can look at if the longest and still find new details!

Body:

Hair: Tukinowaguma HairStyle "Castle" - Setuna style

What's great about this hair beside the great shape and fierceness, is that it comes in a pack of 5 colors each with a 133 color change script! Hours of fun..LOL!

Skin : CHAI Skins - Double-Shot/ Lavender Tone 05

I'm a Chai guy! What can I say. I only wear Chai. Love the lips and the dramatic eyeshadow. Comes with/without freckles and extra cleaveage shading! Guess which I'm wearing....:)

Eyelashes: Cake - Bedroom Lashes

Poses: ..::DARE::.. - Fashion/Runway poses

Fashion poses made by me. Will be released soon!

OK, I'm done styling for a while! Thank you Sasy, I had a blast putting this together.

And now I hand over the baton to Lucy Kenin.  Have fun girl!

Hugs
