WHAT??

I really enjoy this color. It's using some restraint but not entirely stifling when you look at it. Heaven knows, I'm not typically one for restraint, so I have no clue how this happened.

So today, I'm travelling around the blogsphere to dins two most horrifying things- two of the only blogs I read with complete devotion, are either gone or something bizarre is happening... styledisorder is the one that's gone. Hasta La Vista. Finito. I'm like... wtf? How could this be? Brilliant minds behind that blog and without a doubt, crisply entertaining... and then, my beloved Canimal, you know, the Woman who pretty much makes Phay.. well, Phay, cosmetically anyhow, has posted that her store is closed for a couple of days. For those who don't know, and you should be ashamed of yourself if you don't, Canimal is one of the worship-worthy designers who creates outside the box and makes me spend my Lindens... not an easy task to achieve. I loveloveLOVE her, and I hope whatever is going on sorts itself out, and that things resume normal operations soon. <3>

On the upside.. the blog I simply cannot tear my claws away from is still in it's usual wonderful form. Swirly Cyclone and the crew at SL fashion Victim make me laugh, make me cry, and sometimes make me vomit when I'm not even drunk! I LOVE these bitches. Their blog is not a blog, it's religion. Get into it, read it, love it, idolize it. So worth the time.

I have been having trouble getting out of the sweater phase later. I think it's because the days are getting much, much colder and, well, personally I love sweaters. So, because my collection was lacking the slope-necked sweaters I did a series of them in various colors. I kinda went into this funky groove with the color combinations, they reminded me of being in gradeschool and some of the plaid shirts the kids would wear. I also did some more solid colors but still maintained the patterns. Of all I think my favorite is red- named aptly after my favorite TV Actress, Calista Flockheart, I loved her when she was Ally McBeal. Once again, the sweaters come with a prim waist to give it the gathered effect, and the collar is also made of layered prims for the effect of loose fabric. I was surprised how well that worked.

And gosh, I love these dresses I made. I've had it on for days before i put them in the shop. It'll have to be pryed off my Avatar by the time I'm done. It is definitely my signature style, it's reminscent of an era past but has a unique, updated flair that makes it fashion forward. The skirts are double layers, which I find improved the movement of the flexi prims, and makes them appear more fluid. I love skirts that appear to move as one piece.. excpet when you fall, every flexi dress turns into a man eating flower thats devoured your lower half. This was my first foray into making boots. These come with a platform heel, and go to te knee. The lower half is a prim and the rest are simply the mesh texture. It turned out much better than I anticipated, especially since it was a last minute addition to the ensamble, but I find it really completes the piece.
