The last few days, I’ve been hoping on and off (more on than off) that the “unseasonably warm” temperatures in my RL home city (Los Angeles) will return quickly to milder and more usual weather. Please, God, let the meteorologists be meaningfully right, just for once. I know it will be 110 Fahrenheit degrees plus in September, but right now it is quite frankly too damn early in the season for this nonsense. (more…)

When Kandi Babe suggested we go on a cruise, well, I said, a cruise? In SL? Is there such a thing? Well, she just whipped out these brochures with this huge ship, a ship like I’ve never seen before. So, I thought, ok, a cruise might be nice. I mean, all this modeling work is hard you know. It would be nice to have a vacation you know. So, we signed up for a week and rented a cabin on the aftdeck and took a transport to the ship. And I must say, the brochures don’t do it justice! It’s amazing. 
So ok, it’s the first day of the cruise and Kandi Baby pulls out these tennis outfits she’s packed. We need to do some sports, she says, and tennis is a good one to learn. So ok, I put on the outfit she handed me, and it’s a nice blue tennis outfit fit for a Wimbledon champ! A white and blue outfit with a tinge of light green, the blue running off the shoulders and a green swipe down the midriff on the shirt and the blue pants striped with the same green on the side. So, ok, maybe tennis would be a good sport to take up! It’s fairly early, Kandi Babe just likes to get up with the birds, and so not a lot of people are stirring yet. So we head out on deck, all decked out if you will with our tennis outfits and rackets, and Kandi Babe knows she’s seen a tennis court on the ship. Well, we headed out to the deck and started looking for the tennis court. (more…)

One of my favorite things that happens in SL (not often, but once in a while) is when a designer I’ve never heard of IMs me out of the blue and says, “Hey, I don’t know if you’re familiar with my work, but here’s what I do, won’t you take a look?” To me, this is an opportunity for discovery that feels a lot more personal and serendipitous than browsing through the New Releases forum for promising announcements…although I do that, too! So when an IM popped up from Raindrop Drinkwater a while back, I was happy to take a break from sorting my inventory (ugh) and chat for a bit. We had a delightful conversation touching on her design work, her shop A2Nz (Alsace to New Zealand), which she runs with Abyssia Otoro, and I don’t know how many other topics, and I’m pleased to share a few of her newer designs with you. The ensemble you see here, called “Elsasser: Hansi”, is an Alsacian formal suit, traditionally worn for significant events such as weddings and balls. It includes a white dress shirt, black trousers, jacket-layer red vest (both alone and with the jacket, as shown here), prim tie with collar (one to wear with the jacket, one to wear with the shirt alone), and a sculpted hat. Raindrop mentioned that she had paid special attention to the shading of the jacket and of the trousers, and the effort really does show. (more…)
