Whole lotta ketchup

Alright so it's catch up time!  I've been a busy little party animal, hardly getting a thing done, except for having loads of fun in InWorldz!  Thought I better post some pics of all the action, so I can pretend I'm actually working.

So the last few days we have been gearing up for the big grand opening of the Harvest Moon sim.  Started off with a great little impromptu party at Jack and Talia's new flagship main store for Paparazzi, My Lolita and Dream e'Scapes.

Things got more than a little wild when the camel came on scene.  That's the elusive and ever enchanting Ophelia Rose of Wish Hair.

Those of us without such gorgeous rides resorted to our bouncy balls from Abranimations. 

Of course the super stylish Talia Fournier of Paparazzi and My Lolita fame stole the show with her crazy rabid squirrel dance.  You kinda had to be there.

You're really going to love the new Miss Baby Blue dress by My Lolita!  Her shop is open as of today and if you hurry you can find a great pair of pink Mary Jane's at the entrance.  Also, all Paparazzi skins are on sale at 1/2 off this weekend only, so don't hurry to fast as you pass by, and make sure to grab the great giftie on the counter!

After all the fun at the Lolita-Razzi party, I was more than a little hung over, so first thing in the morning I was whisked away to Midsommer for coffee.  Mmmmm, great way to start the day!

We got to playing around with the new hair I'm making and even got Maxwell to try it on, though it's hard to see in the pic because his head was so big.

He quickly took it off saying he didn't want to upstage Whiskey by wearing better hair than hers.  Chivalry is not dead! But shhhh don't tell Whiskey he said that! (We miss you Whiskey!  Come in and play with us!)

Mera looked great in it, almost like it was made for her.

I loved it on Leanna as well, with her cute fae ears poking through.  Be sure to tell her how pretty her dress is or she'll whack you with that marshmallow stick!

All that relaxing got us well rested and ready for the big Grand Opening event at Harvest Moon, where we danced the afternoon away to tunes by DJ Maxwell Wildcat

The lovely Aria Therin made an appearance but wasn't feeling so well so did not stay long, but wow what a great job she and Ophelia and Elliot did getting the sim ready for the party. 

Here's a great pic of Ophelia (owner of Wish Hair) and her sweetheart Elliot Beck looking fabulous at the Grand Opening bash.

Harvest Moon has some beautiful shops available still, so hurry on over if you're looking for a classy place to showcase your product.  You won't be disappointed, and do take the time to explore around a little.

Walk through the lush meadow and forest paths, along the streams and past beautiful waterfalls.  Enjoy a the sweet little coffee shop with the deck out back and views of the ocean.  Stroll along the boardwalk shops and circle back around to the Meadow, the lighthouse, and Wish hair.

So many things to list, you'll just have to go see for yourself.  There's a great little shop in view of the coffee shop called the "Infosnug" where you can find all manner of wonderful freebie items from the generous merchants of Harvest Moon.  Thanks so much!


Happy Shopping!

Hair Fly

So by now, you've probably all heard that Damselfly has opened a sim in InWorldz.  And yes, I'm still holding out for Truth hair to make their appearance.  But for now, hooray, new hair! 

I know... why am I blogging about a hair place when I'm going to be making hair?  Simple... it's what I do, blog about new stuff, fashions, styles and hair in InWorldz.  That and it's so hard to resist new hair.  Just helping out my fellow hair-flys.  You know you can't resist, either.  Just sayin.

There has been a steady stream of customers every time I've gone to Damselfly for a visit.  Here we see Gia Capalini and one of her fellow models from Allure Modeling agency, browsing the goods and filling up their shopping bags.

I've selected two styles to share with you; Lexandra and Lavynder. Both are wavy styles, though the Lexandra is a longer, fuller style, and the Lavynder is a great wavy shoulder length style.

 I purchased the "Mixed" color packs so I have six colors to enjoy from all the major color packs.  Have to admit though, I'm still not thrilled with the red shades from Damselfly.  But being a natural red-head I'm a bit picky.  Still, there are some lovely styles from a talented creator who has been making hair on the SL grid for years.  Plenty of wonderful things to choose from here!

 While the entire selection is not here yet, Shylah Honey is working at bringing over the other styles and has posted information on how you can request your favorite styles from SL to be brought over.  Keen-eyed Leanna Caerndow was quick to point out that they forgot to remove the "AVN" from the signage.  Oopsie! 

Upon landing at the main store on Damselfly Hair Salon sim, turn around and you can see that construction is underway for the "Dragonfly Skins for Life" shop.

Hurry on over to Dragonfly Hair Salon to see what's new.  And guys, don't feel left out!  There are a few great styles for men as well, though most are the longer variety, there are a few short styles to choose from.  They are all mixed in with the ladies hair though, so you have to explore a bit.

Have fun shopping!

Decided to twist my hair up into a more formal look, softened by romantic tendrils.

I'm wearing the lovely flowing flowery dress "Agatta" by Pixivor Allen of Alafolie.  You can find Alafolie tucked away beside the lush meadow at the beautiful shops of Harvest Moon, in InWorldz.  The gown flows so lovely as you walk and comes with shoes!

Enjoy your visit to the shops of Harvest Moon, and remember to stop and smell the flowers.

Kiss,

Allure Fashion Show - Mardi Gras InWorldz 2011

The good times were rolling in InWorldz yesterday.  Mardi Gras was a whirl of entertainment, events and celebrations.  It was easy to get lost in all the commotion and events, but one event in particular really outdid them all, for me, the Allure Fashion Show.  I had the pleasure of attending Allure Modeling Agency's very first fashion show in InWorldz on Mardi Gras.  Let's let the pictures do most of the talking!

Produced by Raven Dulce of Belissima, and her poised and elegant models, the show got off to a rough start with lag, but eventually after moving to a less impacted sim, went off without a hitch.  It was very professionally done and a most engaging show! I really enjoyed it.

I've taken a few pictures to share with you, all completely un-retouched (I just don't have the time!), but the styles and talent shine through.

Featured at the show were designs by M!raMode, Durga Design, Haute Couture, and Couture Chapeau, with poses by Morgane Batista.  Bravo ladies!

 

Models:
Angel wears Queen of Hearts by Couture Chapeau
Raven wears Mardi Gras by MiraMode
Angel wears Oreal Native Dress
Tori wears Aurora by Haute Couture
Andromeda wears Elenia in white by Durga Design
Gia wears Diane by Haute Couture

Gia wears Isis by Durga Design
Tori wears White Panther by Durga Design
Angel wears Seduced by Haute Couture

Well done Allure!  The show was marvelous, and we'll be looking forward to more to come on the fashion scene in InWorldz from Raven Dulce and Allure Modeling Agency. Thank you!

Kiss kiss!

Cat's of California

 I'd like to highlight a new shop today and share with you Cat's of California and a few of the great things that Cat Jules has made.  The first is a beautiful gown "Madame Mardi Gras" that she just finished, for Mardi Gras.   Look how glamorous!

 I'm in love with the feather details, the glimmering gold fabric, and the multi-colored Mardi Gras beads.  Hurry over to Cat's while it's on SALE!  In her words "it is 1/2 the usual price because it was so late."  Nice!  Thanks Cat!

If you're looking for a stunning gown for your Mardi Gras celebrations, take a trip over to Cat's and find her "Madame Mardi Gras" gown, and as the French would say, "Laissez les bons temps rouler," “Let the good times roll!”

 If you've ever been to the Island Style shop on Orky in InWorldz, you may have stumbled across Cat's shop tucked off to the side.  At first glance it looks like part of Island Style, but Cat's is just starting out and I'm sure will be expanding soon.  Watch this space!

 It may look like there are only a few items, so  it's easy to miss until you take a closer look at what she has made.  Her sign lists "Portrait Studio, Fine Art, Photographic Equipment", but completely skips over the great gowns she makes!  So I'm here to help make those more obvious, and hopefully help encourage shoppers to find her, and help another starting designer to keep on doing her magic.

So far she only has two gowns in her shop, and her fabulously detailed camera, which comes included with pose so you can really play the part next time you're out sight seeing or doing a model photo-shoot.

 This camera was designed for Lydia Cremourne of the pose shop "Posture Perfect" but Cat has it available for sale in her shop on Orky.  Look at all the great features!  Love that wide angle lens. 

  Smile for the camera!  This is definitely a shop I'll be watching closely to see what new creations Cat offers.


Wishing you a very Happy Mardi Gras... and blowing glamorous kisses to you from Cat's of California!

Mwah!
