I meant for it to look like that

Shoot. My AV is seriously starting to look like someone I'd want to bitch-slap in real life.

Must fix later.

I'm in the Fashion Bloggers group and I like it there. It makes me feel special. So occasionally I must enrich the lives of my 44 followers (wow, thank you, Followers!) with some pictures of stylish clothes. And thank you too, Blogger, for encouraging the formation of cults.



(Pose by Get Bent.) (I think.)

Yesterday I saw this new Nerinda gown (600L) at Baiastice and screamed, "GIMME!" The weather is getting really beautiful outside -- as evident by the fact that I'm hunched over a laptop inside -- and this dress feels perfect to me: an arresting floral explosion against layers of voluminous, biting red.

("Did she just call that dress biting?!")

I'm sure that's exactly what Sissy Pessoa was thinking when she designed it: "And this one's for all those angsty bitches with spring fever!"

[How to Style a Dress, by Emerald Wynn: "Repeat this phrase after me: 'This gown is so lovely and complex that adding a necklace would just create a distracting fashion mess.' Look confident when you say it. Pretend you weren't too lazy to dig through your 90K inventory to find suitable jewelry. Nod wisely. Act like you totally planned to have green fingernails too . . . to symbolize more nature."]

So I snatched it up, took it home, put it on, went immediately up to my roof, dorked around with the dinosaur for a while, then took it off and put it in the "Dresses I Really Like" folder in my inventory. (And it was never seen again.)

Check out the back:



Help, it's a shark.

I also bought this flirty little dress called Sweet Disposition. I believe it's somewhere in the realm of 300-and-something lindens.

[How to Disguise the Fact that You're a Somewhat Lazy Blogger, by Emerald Wynn: "Shrug and repeat after me: 'If you have to ask, you can't afford it' and bang your Sheila E. drum set. Don't forget to kick the cymbal with a paisley covered boot. Google 'cymbal' to make sure you spelled it right. Proper spelling for the win."]



Love!

Hair: Mena in Almond by Truth. Necklace: Lotus Flower by Mandala. Skin: Alyson, 9, sun-kissed, cleavage option, by Belleza. And another comma for the hell of it: ,

All excerpts are from my forthcoming book: "There's No Such Thing as a Mistake When You're a Confident Liar."

Speaking of, I've seen the feeds today. I know you can find way better photos of this FREE spiral staircase with 24 poses in it from Behavior Body (at Baiastice):



But mine's the only one with a dinosaur and completely jacked-up stairs. (Um, be careful when you move it -- the parts aren't linked.)

"I wanted them to look like that. I'm an artist. I'm making a statement: Sometimes life just doesn't line up right."

Join me now as I try to get "Stairway to Heaven" out of my head for the rest of the day.

[A witty ending goes here.]
