So there we were, middle of a photoshoot, when suddenly from above we were brutally attacked and visciously pillaged by a band of scurvy sky pirates.




I ran around panicking like a schoolgirl in a way that only a fashion designer can whilst my brave, calm and collected model coolly produced a pair of Glock 18s (and no, thats not a euphemism, as you are soon to find out!) from somewhere upon her person O.o.





After emptying 2 full clips in rapid succession it was blatantly obvious that Pirates are not perturbed by high velocity lead. After a split second of thought, she gathered herself together, and used the one thing that no Pirate can withstand
.......BOSOMS!





In true Pirate fashion, the were lots of Heaves and quite a few Ohhhhs during which the Pirate vessel lost control, went offworld and promptly appeared in someones inventory as a jumbled mess of returned prims.

And the moral of this story....is....

YAY FOR BOOBIES!

Exploring SL

Been tinkering about for a couple of days, toying with ideas for new gowns and other things. Took an artistic break and went to a really cool sim called Omega Point, brought back some photos to share :)

Also did a informal photo shoot with a friend and thought this one 'specially came out rather nice:

New gowns: Candy Ice and Turquoise Shimmer

Weird things start happening around the holidays. The world starts to take on sort of a monochromatic tone, doesn't it? White blankets of snow ... black tie affairs ... and I've got nothing against red and green, in fact, I generally like those colours quite well. But sometimes it's necessary to break away from tradition and explore new options. Who wants to look like a Christmas bauble every day?

Thus was born my latest offering: a break from the norm, but still within the spirit of the season with its shimmery elegance and eye-catching style. A plunging neckline and a festive bow adorn this beautiful gown, that won't tie your dance partner up in giant poofy skirt prims but will shiver across the dance floor like moonlight on ice crystals. Choose between icy pink or shimmery turquoise and stand out from the crowd!

More colours will be released over the next few days. Drop me a notecard inworld if you have any requests :)

Dark Crystal

I've been sitting here for hours trying to describe what I was thinking when I made this dress. It's not really like anything I've seen before. Kinda gothic, kinda retro, kinda vintage lingerie, sort of pin-up girl burlesquey Dita-Von-Teese-ish. If I had a way with words I'd probably be able to make all those adjectives into some sort of stylish blog entry that would captivate you into coming to the store and buying the dress ... but ... in this case I guess I'll have to let the gown speak for itself. So click the picture to enlarge for detail :) Available now at 2Dye4 at The Shopatorium.

Amethyst Squeeze

Simple and pretty, this amethyst dress can be worn on its own for a casual day out, or can be dressed up with amazing jewelry for a jazzier look. The prim skirt is specially designed to flare out flirtatiously, catching the eye - you'll definitely get noticed in this one!

Sapphire Tempest

Sultry, silky, sapphire blue accentuates just about any skin tone and hair colour in SL and happens to be one of my favorite colours to boot. There's just something about a deep, midnight-blue silk that makes me want to run my hands all over it. Drape it over a beautiful woman and - well, you get the idea :) This dress comes with one of my favorite asymmetrical skirts, which shows a hint of leg and gives the appearance of a natural-looking split when walking or dancing.

Turn heads wherever you go with this fun and festive cocktail dress. The sexy laced bodice is offset by a panel of metallic shimmery gold to add just the right touch of glamour while the flirty skirt shows off your fabulous legs. Whether you're attending a lavish affair, a small gathering at your best friend's, or spending a quiet night with your significant SLother, make sure to grab this fabulous dress just in time for 2010!

By the way, I do profile pictures and such in SL ... drop me a notecard in world if you're in need of a photographer.

Holiday Special: Verdigris

An old friend rang me up the other day and asked me to make a gown for her. "Remember I'm a Southern Lady," she said, "but I like to show a lot of leg." Well, here it is - a whole lotta leg, and more.

Velvety black combined with rich green and a sheer lace underskirt make this sexy gown a must-have for the holidays. Ideally suited for any woman who embraces her curves, this dress can be fitted for almost any sized avatar. The ensemble comes with an opaque modesty vest layer to be worn underneath the sheer top, but which can be removed for those moments when you want to show a little more than leg.

First release: Onyx

One my biggest complaints with SL fashion on the average is a failure to appreciate the female form without going overboard into excess. Many gowns in SL tend toward one of two extremes: Gone With The Wind, or Stripper-in-Training (lol). And that's perfectly all right, after all, a woman needs enough dress choices to fit her many moods! But there seem to be fewer choices for women who want something less extreme - sensual but not slutty, elegant but with skirts that won't smother your dance partner.

Personally, I've always loved the classic James Bond girl - classy, sexy, and mysterious. Whilst thinking up this dress I daydreamed of a gorgeous woman stepping out of an Aston Martin DBS, all eyes turned toward her, the question in our hero's mind: is she an ally, or an enemy? I wanted this dress to fit just such a girl, figure-hugging yet with flowing lines to accentuate the beauty of her shape.



Highlight of bodice detail:



The result: Onyx, a sumptuous black gown with a beautifully detailed bodice and flowing asymmetrical prim skirt. Much like the Aston, this dress has style, elegance, and practically oozes class. It has the advantage of being able to be worn with a variety of hairstyles and jewelry options, whether you feel simple and understated or want to drown yourself in diamonds. A unique dress in a timeless colour perfect for an adventure-filled night out in SL!
