Ain’t No Other …
Everyone has someone that they idolize stylistically in both Second Life and real life, whether they want to admit it or not. There has rarely been an occasion in my life where I’ve met someone and said “Damn, they really -do- march to the beat of their own drum… don’t they?” – every facet of fashion has it’s “face” – making it nearly impossible to do something that’s really never been done before. Obviously one of the most popular sources for inspiration when it comes to style of dress is media and popular culture – and for me one person (of the hundreds) that I’ve always idolized stylistically is Christina Aguilera – or at least since her “Stripped” era; As I’ve said before – I think that raunchy can still be stylish.
My second outfit for today is inspired entirely by an outfit Christina wears in her “Ain’t No Other Man” video for a few short sequences – I’ve obviously however put a small twist on it to make it more appropriate for wearing out:
Since it’s fairly obvious that my normal skin-tone of Bronze looks pretty bad with blond hair, I actually started this look out by switching over to RaC’s Tasha skin – which I’m sure you’ve seen on at least every other blog in the Fashion Planet feed by now. The soft skin tone for me worked much better with blond locks – and also, a minor detail — the red lips seem to work much better for the Tasha skin than any of the others that I seem to own; No Christina Aguilera look is complete without red lips. I’ve replaced the ruffled panties from the video with a pair of satin white shorts and instead of using a sheer over-sized sweater, I’ve used a rich red sweater with a deep neckline and a 3/4 sleeve (I had to tint it red myself). I’ve finished off the look with one of my favorite hairstyles from Elikapeka Tiramisu’s AVEDA line that gives this look the perfect ‘vintage/retro‘ feel that Christina Aguilera’s current style seems to be so strongly attached to – and a very basic white heel. As far as accessories go, I’ve used a simple chain with ballet slipper charms and the retro style headphones that complete the over-all look.

Is Jenna by Last Call retired? Couldn’t find it in store anymore.

You’re actually getting into the store? I’ve been trying nearly non-stop for two days ever since the sale started, and all I get is “region full, try again later.” I’m *assuming* their sale is going to continue for a little while, right…???

The sale is going on for at the very least a month, no final date has been stated yet however.
I am fairly certain that the Jenna outfit is still available, but I could be wrong.
