Role Model

1 Role Model

I don’t quite have the stance down pat, but I’m working on it! As a role model for posture, Miss Dress Form is perfection.

I mentioned a couple of days ago I seem to be carrying a mannequin theme lately. It honestly hasn’t been a considered idea; it has just happened. I love pulling items out of my inventory, scattering them, taking some back, moving others around, digging for another gem or two. Or six. Or eighteen.

I have several dress forms in my treasure trove (surprise, surprise!), but this one from Apple Fall has to be my favourite. It actually reminded me a bit of the frock I’m wearing from Apple May Designs. The dress comes in four colours, with the pink I am wearing on sale for 50L for a limited time at the main store. What a bargain!

I spent two hours setting up this room for a client shoot. She was a no-show. So instead of getting upset, I decided to use it myself.

How’s that for being a role model for fashion, economics and resourcefulness all in one post? 😉

New Year’s Day

1 New Year's Day

While I’m not a party-er or even a drinker, New Year’s Day was a lazy one for me. No hangover; just a day relaxing as I prepare myself to return to work on Monday after a luxurious 11 days off. I have enjoyed my vacation time and the extra time has allowed me to blog more frequently. I have no doubt my post count will drop off again once I return to the daily grind, but I am trying to bank a few photos so I can start off the year with a few more posts than I had been doing.

Whatever your New Year’s Eve was like, I hope you celebrated as you wished and your New Year’s Day is as lazy or productive as you want.

Tell Me The Story

1 Wistful

I didn’t really have a reason for this photo. I just put on an outfit, rezzed a few items, plopped down on the suitcase and played with Windlight until I found something I liked.

I think there is a story here, looking at the image. Is she moving in or moving on? Or is she simply taking shelter on her travels?

Will you tell me the story?
