Talking bird

Tonight I won a myna bird at Stray Pig and I was wearing it on my shoulder around the grid. I went to several places and I started to hear voices, but nothing usual for SL. I return to my studio thinking: I must style the bird, find a dress to go with it and some accessories. But then I hear more voices... I looked closer at the bird: he is talking! And good thing is: I'm not crazy :) or am I?

Coco said

Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel aka Coco Chanel said: "When accessorizing, always take off the last thing you put on" and "Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening"

52 Weeks of Color Challenge: Celadon (catching up)

Ah I missed so many weeks of the colors challenge. When my pc started to have issues I couldn't get shadows and I didn't want to go back to pictures without shadows. Then after I caught a RL virus and addiction, that took me to travel around so you know... Week 36's color was: celadon

Little folies

Sorry I didn't blog in a long time (omg, I always dreamt to write this sentence one day as I find it hilarious: we're hundreds of SL fashion blogs out there, how would anyone notice if we didn't blog for one month?) :) Anyway back with some Haute Couture and back with shadows also. Isn't this dress amazing? Minimal, creative, unique, I love it!

52 Weeks of Color Challenge: Denim

Miyoko is very sad. In my past posts I was finally using SL shadows and I really loved them. BUT I'm one of the lucky person who had her gmail attacked and I had to install a complete fresh system. I'm now on Windows 7 and I tried several SL viewers (Emergence, Kirstens, and the most painful one ever Linden Lab V2) in none of them I managed to get shadows for my avatar. Not sure what else to try...

My original text for this post was:

52 weeks of color challenge: denim! It's ironic that denim and jeans can be American symbols, it stays a French invention as the material was invented in France in the city of Nimes (de Nimes became denim) and the word jean comes from the French name of the Italian city Genoa (Genes) where the 1st jeans were made.

Headphones in clubs

I have this weird habit to wear headphones in RL clubs. Not because I'm a DJ but because I listen to music on my way to meet my friends. And once we meet in the club they often ask me: you were afraid the music wouldn't be good? :)

52 Weeks of Color Challenge: Ruby

52 Weeks of Color Challenge: Ruby. Strangely the color ruby is not a red like the gemstone but it's more a pink. But this bloggers challenge has been a lot about interpretations and discoveries. So I decided to go for the stone color.

Also I discovered as I look each week for the exact color on wikipedia that for a same color name, if you change the language, you don't have the same color at all. Example with the English page for khaki that is a beige and the same name on the French page for kaki is a green. I discovered that after a fight with a friend who was telling me an item was kakhi and me I was saying not at all, and far from it. In the end we were both right in our own languages.

Walking in my shoes

Mask and nails are a Dark Future gift preview available during May 15 till June 15 from Favole. As a good Depeche Mode fan that I am, my 1st reaction when I saw the mask was to think of the masks in the video "Walking in my shoes" and of course the crow in the live giant screenings of 2009 Tour of the Universe

My dear secret diary

My dear secret diary, today I'm very happy because I got a new shirt. It started when I was trying to cut my own hair to be very pretty. I didn't just cut the hair so the men in white came and they offered me this cool shirt with arms that attach in the back! Yay!

Now I'm standing in this room with matresses on the walls. It's very quiet so I have all the time to think about existential questions like: why are we on earth or why the SL bloggosphere is so serious? :)

52 Weeks of Color Challenge: Tangerine

52 weeks of colors blogger's challenge: tangerine. My 1st reflex when I read the word tangerine is to think of the band Tangerine Dream. And think of music we listen to on the beach in Spain after a long night of clubbing when we can't take anymore beats and swear we will never drink again... All this has nothing to do with this style :)
