It's a Kani Halloween!

My Kani Bunny always seems to come out on Halloween--must be something about the ears...

Anyway, I'm wearing DCNY's freebie Halloween dress and some great hair from last year from Dejavu. And my Kani is by Uchi Desmoulins of Avatars - Curious Inc.

I wore this outfit to a great dance at Angel's Club on Cape Suzette, but I have another outfit for the party at Club Cutlass later. Hit me up online if you want a taxi :)

Happy Halloween!

Oh What a Difference a Filtercam Makes!

I had always wondered about Mechanized Life's Filtercam, but assumed it would be too complicated for my small pixel brain. How wrong I was!

Codebastard Redgrave was kind enough to offer a Halloween version to the bloggers on Plurk. So I asked [nicely I hope:)] and it was MINE. And folks, it couldn't be more easy-peasy. Even Sam in a blonde moment had no trouble.




Since I was supposed to be doing three other things I just did a quick shoot at my beach house. No commentary is necessary. The Filtercam adds atmosphere to an otherwise dull shot.



Under the blood I am wearing Adam n Eve's Saucy lingerie, sixty-nine's Model hair [includes the pose] and a new 5th & Oxford Little Miss Audrey skin in Medium, probably #6.

Thank You Ginny!

Two years ago today we lost the person behind the SL avatar, Ginny Talamasca. She was known to most of us only as the creator of the Dazzle and then, the Last Call label in SL. I first discovered Last Call through my friend and fellow blogger, Fury Stapleton, who took me to the first big LC sale in June 2007. I was all of 2 months old and still feeling my way. My earliest purchases bear the date of June 4, 2007.

After that, and particularly after I started work next door at ETD, Last Call was where I went for that special dress. It took me a while to appreciate the line she was drawing between chic, elegant and a wee bit edgy and even a tad slutty, but always classy. In the end I "got it."

In memory of Ginny and her work, which, despite several advances in SL technology, still looks as fabulous as when they were first made, I'm presenting 2 sets of photos. The first is of dresses I blogged before--and, sadly, my first blogpost was at the last sale and my second was from the skin fair this year. The second is of some of my earliest purchases, before the final sale in 2008.

Thank you Ginny -- we miss you always!

Happy Anniversary to Us!

Actually it's tomorrow that is the 2 year anniversary of this blog, but never too early to celebrate!

At the beginning it was just me, but over time Noena Merlin, Fury Stapleton & Elaine Lisle joined in, adding their unique voices and skills to The 3 Fashionteers. The name has changed twice since the blog's beginning, but we have always sought to both edify and entertain, while giving our honest opinions.

So in hono[u]r of us all, here are the 3 first photos each posted on the blog. [If you think I'm going to post my first miserable photo you are wrong!] It's been a pleasure not only to be their friends, but to have the privilege of meeting each of them in RL. I can tell you that they are just as wonderful in RL as they are in SL, if not better :)

So here's to 2 years of blogging and friendship! And hopefully many more.

Snuggling in for the winter...



It's getting d**n cold here now, and even with the sun out, the brisk wind is a not so gentle reminder of what's to come. So I've been wandering around my beach house wearing legwarmers LOL.

But it's all an excuse to wear Elinor from DCNY. I seldom shop there, but I fell for the colorful bird on the sweater and the fluttery and a bit ragged skirt. I would have preferred a prim belt to the one on the system layer, but that's a small beef. My earrings are Miel's 50 Linden Friday ones from yesterday, which are perfect with this cold season look. Stocking are Ajour in Mud from Mimikri. The big story are the legwarmers though. I tried everywhere. I had a friend ask on Fashion Emergency [a casualty of the 25 group limit], but finally I bought the ones at Ducknipple. But alas they didn't match, so I copied the right ankle prim and plopped it on my left ankle and edited. And yes, those are Stiletto Moody's Bitch Booties peeking out.

The main events are Truth's Cameron hair in Auburn. It's one of the most flattering styles for me in a long while. Same deal with the new N2 Elizabeth skin from the most generous, Annyka Bekkers. I'll show you more soon, but this is the Granny Apple 2.2, that is, the second makeup in Tone B. The light smattering of face freckles are a real delight.



I fell in love with Linnea from Angel Dessous on the feed. I struggled over the color in the store, but in the end the Beige won out because the sparkly parts on the belt and sleeve were more subtle and it reminded me of snow. It comes with the long socks, as well as many other variations on the neckline, including a hoodie version. Maitreya's Bloom boots in white came out of hiding to complete the look. Hair is fri.day's Allison in Scornful Red, skin is my new standby, Kim Spring Rose in Natural. My earrings are Ice Queen from Random Calliope, a present from my fellow blogger, Noena.

Lil Miss Blacklace Witch






Halloween is a time for costumes and fun. So when Blacklace released a limited edition lingerie for Halloween I went and grabbed it.
It’s a burnt orange camisole and knickers…the textures are fantastic and the execution simple, it is all system layers. Sexy and spooky!

I then decided that there was only 1 pair of shoes to go with my intended outfit. So, I popped over the Grim Bros to buy the spider queen ghostly heels. Wonderfully simple shoes with extraordinary details of spiders and cobwebs all over the shoes and heels.

The skin was a thinking matter. I have a lot of Halloween skins but none that would compliment the underwear. I then remembered 5th & Oxfords Lil Miss 6 in pale. Heavy lidded eyes with burnt orange lipstick…perfect!

The eyes were an inventory search and trying on various ‘oddities’. I settled for Ruin’s Gemstone Eyes. This just completed my look.

I love, love, love Halloween….Mwahahahaha!

PS. Fun shot(s) here...
