EYE of the TIGER

The Dashing Beau Brummell has something to share. The designer Lexi Vargas has two new outfit to add to The Brocade Tiger Artistic  Collection. Out of a style reminiscent of Indiana Jones comes Sugar Babe’s Suit. It’s comes with  a few unique items that compliment the outfit.

The braces are a nice touch!

Sugar Babe's Suit meets Indiana Jones!

 As you can see I’m wearing a nice brown hat just like Indie worn. The  beige shirt comes with a white collar and flexi brown tie. The pants are brown with a pale pinstripping followed with a nice pair of braces (suspenders) to tie the outfit together. I say that Vargas did an excellent job on designing this outfit.

Presenting Lucy Eberhart

Greetings!!  It is such an honor to be named among the elite models that comprise Opium.  Many of you already know me, and I hope to get to know the rest of you as well.  I have been in SL for nearly 2 years and have spent most of that time consuming all that this fantastical world has to offer, and using it as my creative outlet.  I have owned a club, built entire sims, and scripted.  Currently I spend my time designing clothing. I have my own store, Evil Lu Designs, located on Metaverse Island.  I also am a photoLIFE Master Photographer, where I also give classes in photography and GIMP.  I work for MBC (Metaverse Broadcating Co.) where I have my own call in show, “Lucy Listens”.  Additionally, I am available for voice over work and  making custom poses.  I am very friendly and love to chat.  I’m known to give honest objective opinions, so if you aren’t sure about that new skin, ask me.  I spend a great deal of time these days shopping and farming in SL.  I look forward to meeting each and every one of you!

Hey everyone! I took this shot on the Shiki SIM, it was a gorgeous place to do a photoshoot at. Anyways, today I am modeling White Falour by Crowefabulous Sommerfeld, a talented designer who is currently a contestant for SL’s NEXT TOP DESIGNER. Her brand is Inferno Couture and I have to say I truly adored this ivory chic party dress. It shows off your lovely legs with sculpted furrs on the skirt. Simply, FABULOUS. To finish up this outfit I threw on my bare Ingrids by Stiletto Moody to make my legs look longer and a semi tamed hair due from ETD. To finish up the look I added earth toned bracelets from Leezu to finish the look. Simple yet eye – catching.

Hair: ETD Chel – Honey
Bracelets: Leezu Lalala Bracelets
Dress: White Falour – Inferno Couture
Shoes: Bare Ingrids (White) – Stiletto Moody

LOOKR Re-opening

For all fans of LOOKR I can now reveal that the re-opening will take place on Monday 28 September 2009.  As many will know LOOKR was a very popular store selling some of the most fantastic designs from jeans, jackets and beachwear to formal gowns and accessories.  Adam Soler and Fayne Khandr the two designers behind LOOKR and who also run a rl design company, decided to concentrate on their main strengths and rather than designing such a wide range of items, to specialise in one area of expertise – that of cool and funky t-shirts and vest tops.

Above is a sneak preview of what to expect at the new store.  All tops come with shirt, jacket and lower layers, making these designs perfect to mix and match with other items to create your own fabulous look.  Not only do you get a choice of layers but you also receive a transferable gift box, which contains a copy of the item you have bought, providing you with the opportunity of passing it on as a gift to a friend.  And the best part is that 15% of all sales made at the new LOOKR store will be donated to the A21 Campaign, info here: http://www.thea21campaign.org/)

After being given the amazing opportunity to check out the new LOOKR store before the opening tomorrow, I can reveal that the range and quality of the new designs is just awesome.  There is something for everyone here and at the very reasonable price of 100L$ per item you cannot go wrong.  So if you want to own one of these super cool and trendy tops, while also helping a very worthwhile charity, then head over there tomorrow and get your hands on these spectacular new designs.

Pudding on the Ritz

I’ll take mine in Butterscotch and Pisang please!!!

Just like pudding is smooth and delicious and the Ritz is glamorous and elegant, so too is the new release from Sascha’s entitled Pudding.

These glamorous gowns are really something.  They come with so many options for wearing it’s hard to decide which way to try first!  So, to start off, I went for a shorter version in butterscotch.

Butterscotch Pudding Dress from Sascha's Designs

Shown above is the dress in butterscotch with the strapless top and mini skirt.  The beautifully detailed mini skirts are fun and  flirty while looking sophisticated and elegant.  The butterscotch color is ready to take you into fall with it’s warm delicious glow.

Next I began diving into the deliciously rich pisang Pudding.  A lush green in color, this version of Pudding also comes with numerous options for both the top and the skirt.  For this look, I went with a sleek and classy slim fitting long skirt, strapless top and a shawl!

Pisang Pudding Long Gown

This sleek formal version of the gown is truly a treat.  The color is rich and vibrant and perfect for welcoming fall.  It is richly detailed especially when adding the shawl for a final finishing touch.

The gown also comes with a bolero option for the top.  The skirt options include swooshy skirt, ball gown skirt, and battleship skirt.  One purchase covers you whether you are ready for a night on the town or going to the most formal of balls.

Be sure to pick up yours in one of these gorgeous fall colors.  This is a gown not to be passed by!

The butterscotch version is worn with Redgrave’s Cyrcle earrings, necklace, ring and bracelet.  The pisang version is worn with JCNY’s Angel Armor Bridal Earrings and Neclace as well as Young Hollywood Hyper-Gems bracelet.

A delicious treat from Sascha’s Designs

     I love to get dressed up in SL. I love to do my hair up, toss on some glittering gems, and some gorgeous gowns and go dancing, or go to the theater, or just take pictures of myself wearing all my finery.  I pour through my inventory, scouring for the perfect dress for the perfect occasion.  Don’t laugh at me, I know you do it too.    Now let me show you the dress that covers all the occasions… the Pudding dress from Sascha’s Designs.  I unpacked this dress…and its not just one dress, nope,  this dress comes with the pieces to make  four different outfits, suitable for something as low-key as a night at the clubs, all the way to a night of formal ballroom dancing.  I was given this dress in two gorgeous colors, granate and blueberry, and both of them are stunning.

A short skirt with lots of ruffles guranteed to showcase your gorgeous gams as you hold court on the dance floor with your main squeeze.  Toss on some Alienbear jewelry, a pair of Moody’s, and dance the night away.

Just look at the textures of this gown! It seems to shimmer every time you move.  This skirt is perfect for an evening wedding, a premiere…well, it’s just perfect for whenever you want to wear it.

the mermaid style skirt in granate

I paired the bolero style jacket with the mermaid style skirt in the pic above… and I have to say I love this look. The sweeping skirt, so richly textured in the saturated orangy-rust color and the cute jacket packs quite a punch. I know I’ll be wearing this combo often. 

and last but by no means least……….

Wow!

My jaw dropped when I put this on. I don’t know if you’re like me, but when I put on a ballgown, I walk in it to see how it moves and this dress walks like a dream. I felt like a princess wearing it as the skirt swishes and swayed with me.  I think I feel the urge to go ballroom dancing……….but before I go, make sure you run to get your own Pudding Gown at Sascha’s Designs here: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Coco%20Beach%20Kelina/145/243/22

Sasha’s Designs: A Sweet Treat

Sascha's Pudding in Frambrois

So your sweetheart wants to whisk you away for a evening of ballroom dancing. What ever will you do? Ripping your closet apart you have the typical “nothing to wear” syndrome. I have a solution to your plight. The Pudding dress from Sascha’s Designs. Not only is it absolutely stunning but an amazing value at $550 Lindens.

I know what you are thinking… “Another ball gown at $550L”…. go figure. But I promise you, this is an amazing deal. Not only do you get 2 poofy ballroom gowns, you also receive pieces to make 2 different styles of long “mermaid” dresses and 2 styles of a shorter sassy mini! OK so count it with me, 6 dresses for $550 Lindens!. You also can wear the gown 3 ways, strapless, with a shawl and, with a cute bolero jacket. I was floored when I opened the box and saw the sheer choices you can put together for this.

Sascha's Pudding in Strawberry

These dresses are STUNNING. The details are just amazing, perfectly proportioned, I did not have to edit one thing when I put them on. The textures flow correctly and have a luminescent quality to them which is rare to find in Second Life. The gem textures sparkle and the skirt seems to reflect light as it flows wonderfully. You can truly see the time taken to create a quality product in these dresses.

I score these a perfect 10, they are really a adaptable item you really should have in your wardrobe. Take a run down to Sascha’s and pick up a Pudding dress, or really any of her beautiful designs. Her store is simply overflowing with options to add to your closet.
