New Years Eve is all about celebrating the coming of a new year; an event that is universal.  Often times, this marks the end of a certain chapter in people’s lives and the beginning of something new – a rebirth.  Millions of people worldwide are making their New Years resolutions, promising to forget their mistakes of the past year and move forward with a fresh outlook on the coming year.  But New Years isn’t only about forgetting the past year and moving forward – it’s about remembering the events and the people who left an imprint on your life, and taking those imprints and moving into the future with them to create a better new year and learn from the past.

2007 marked tons of milestones and changes for the world of Second Life, but in the world of Fashion, it will be remembered as none other than the year of Ginny Talamasca for me, and I’m sure many others.  Ginny ended 2006, for those who remember – with the closing of the hugely popular “Dazzle Haute Couture” store and a massive sale – and brought in the New Year with the opening of “Last Call”, creating a huge stir amongst the fashion community which has forever been changed.  Today’s outfit is a tribute to the life and contributions of Ginny Talamsca in Second Life, as well as all the real lives that he touched; sending off 2007 looking fierce and fabulous – just how Ginny would have liked it:

There is no-one on the Second Life grid who dresses a woman quite like Ginny does.  There are literally hundreds of Ginny Talamasca creations to choose from when looking for that perfect dress to wear to an evening event.  I chose this particular dress because I felt that it encompassed all that Ginny embodies in the world of fashion; beauty, glamour, and elegance with an overwhelming amount of sex appeal.  And to quote Ginny himself:  “Beauty is always in style.”

I know this is a sort of random “middle of the night” post – but I’ve been flipping through the collection of magazines that’s been sitting at my desk for the past few days waiting to be read and I suddenly felt inspired.  Anyone who knows me is fully aware that I love Victoria Beckham.  Say what you will, but that woman is fierce.  This random outfit is a simple interpretation of what she can be seen wearing on the cover of Elle Magazine’s current issue:

I think it’s fairly easy to say that putting this outfit together took little to no time at all.  I started out with TESLA’s Natasha heel and sort of built my way up from there.  Since the shoes she’s wearing cannot be seen in the cover picture, I took it upon myself to go for a pointed toe basic pump in white; though any color would have suited it just as well.  To create the illusion of the off the shoulder tank from the picture, I’ve layered two separate tops (Camie Cooper’s and Nyte Caligari’s) and paired them with a basic pleated white suit pant and topped it all off with a pair of basic black suspenders.  Of course the look would also not be complete without that signature Victoria Beckham bob, either.
