Aloha!
Long time no blogging, huh? Looks like my virtual vacation turned into a vacation from the virtual – my wireless connection is being impossible since the other day (hence the lack of posts), so I haven’t been able to login to SL until last night. This is the best I could do under the circumstances.

Loving fashion and despising trends wouldn’t make perfect sense to me. As trends can work sort of like a mirror of what’s going on in the world or reflect where we’ve been, as well as a pendulum swinging from one extreme to another, I always remain a bit fascinated whether or not I like the current it-items or choose to “succumb” and actually go with the latest. One of this spring/summer’s more unusual RL-trends is in a sense turning the runway into a stage and I must say… this time I’ll gladly play along. It’s dreamy, full of imagination and a tad theatrical. Eccentrics should be delighted.

I’m testing out two new (to me) constructions today; sculpted dress and textured hair.
I’ve seen some fully sculpted dresses around lately, but had not felt convinced that they would be nice. You see, I love movement in my clothes, so flexi prims are big favourites (sculpted prims cannot be made flexi). However, I like this dress! The sculpties allow for this gorgeous balloon/tulip shape that would not be possible (at least I think not!) with normal prims. Of course, this brilliant red colour does nothing to hurt it’s appeal.

The second new thing is what I call “textured” hair, granted this is not new, however, when they first appeared on the grid, I was very put-off by the overlapping alphas which made it flicker incessantly. Well, that is all gone now, and I have to say, I’m completely in love with this over-the-top, fabulous do, in fact I don’t ever want to take it off!
In conclusion, two big thumbs up from me for both of these new technical advances.

Creamy, sexy, powdery lingerie look today.
I picked up this delicious slip dress at the ICING sale, and to me, it just oozes soft understated sexiness… mmmh. I wanted to keep everything within that creamy softness so I added powder pink pumps and the sexy and soft hair. Then, in order to contrast, and at the same time, underscore the lingerie feel, I added some classy, heavy pearls and the clutch, thereby taking the look out of the bedroom and into the night.

Here’s a little ray of light in the winter gloom for all of us in the Northern Hemisphere and a sunny daytime look for those of you lucky enough to inhabit the Southern Half of the RL globe.
There’s nothing like yellow to brighten your day and this little dress certainly does the job. I added a pair of leggings and then accessorised with different pinks in the hair, bangles, nails and bag.
I also wanted to show you these sculptie shoes from Periquita: the shape of the shoe is perfect — I particularly like the delicate sliver of a platform under the toes — and the heel, although not as high as I usually like them, is well shaped and feminine. The texturing is also very good indeed. The designer, Erpla Prieto, is also a Swedish gal so this makes it extra special to me. 
Thanks for the introduction Sofia!
I’m still in my revived ETD crush and this is Honey, an old favourite of mine.

All bundled up and ready for a snowball fight!
You just have to look at this hat — what exquisite sculptie work! And the texturing… just wow (click on the thumbnail further down for a close up view). I wore ETD’s Hailey under the hat with some modified strands to make it a perfect fit.
Starting from the hat, I went with the obvious winter bunny look and paired it with this sweater that has a similar pattern (but with funky skulls instead of snow flakes). Then, for a girlie and feminine touch, I wore this wonderful full-length skirt in an off-white colour. My feet are comfortably snug in a pair of black winter boots.
I accessorised with a thick scarf and matching mittens.

Today will be my last day blogging with MichaMi, and before I depart I wish to impose upon you all a small bit of my infinite wisdom; this time on the world of modeling both in real life and in Second Life. Today’s outfit is inspired by the idea of the blank canvas, anyone who has any real life modeling experience, watches any of the Top Model shows, or has any has any sense of what a blank canvas means in the world of fashion – should understand where I am going here:
All kidding and humor aside, I have brought you all some of my favorite and fiercest outfits from my arsenal of clothing in Second Life, but for my final post today – I hoped to introduce you to the side of me that you would most see if you were to bump into me on the grid today. While I don’t necessarily consider myself a model in Second Life, I do take work from time to time when it is offered to me. The smartest thing, in my opinion – that a model can do when seeking out work is to present themselves as a blank canvas. For this outfit, I have taken a very basic white tank and paired it with a classic pair of dark jeans. The jewelry is very simple, casual, and understated – the shoes are trendy and classy, but not flamboyant – and my hair is simply pulled back to from my face nicely without looking like I spent an hour trying to do it. I have tried to keep the entire look very natural without looking forced which something that I try to accomplish in every outfit I wear anyway.
My only other advice is: Go with what you know. The Ether/Void skin from Starley and Ginny’s Deviant Nation line of skins is the skin that I built my shape for and when I am trying to put my best face forward, it is for sure the most accurate way that I wish to portray myself. Dressing yourself doesn’t always have to be about noise and excess. Sometimes even the most simple pieces of clothing can project “confident” and “sexy” while also saying “effortless” – which to me is the best message of all.
