The Greenies may "Green the Grid," but SL Residents are all about the orange when Halloween rolls around.   Costumes and spooky decorations along with all things pumpkin are popping up left and right.

I'm getting pumped for Halloween in SL myself.  The virtual world is a fantastic place to celebrate the holiday. You don't have to go into temporary Halloween stores advertised by a scary giant clown holding a sign by the highway. You don't have to pay $50 US for something mostly made of vinyl and itchy felt that you'll only wear once, and you'll only wear drunk because it's ridiculously skimpy. You can do so much more with your avi, who isn't confined by the limits of hair spray and doesn't have to worry about uncomfortable shoes!
 

Last week, I had the pleasure of meeting Takeshi in Crimson Shadow as I introduced him to our new line of male skins in Crimson Shadow. He has taken this beautiful photo and yes I do look really pretty in that dress. Dynasty dress will be on sale in Crimson Shadow today. Please read more on Shop with Takeshi and see more of the gorgeous photos.

When I first joined SL, I quickly discovered Ivalde and her collection of discounted clothes.  At the time, I was living off sploders and didn't have much money to spend.  What I got from Ivalde only whetted my appetite for more, and when I finally did have the means to buy clothes other than those on the "discount rack", Ivalde was one of the first places I went.

The clothes that I had been drooling over for months did not disappoint.  Neferia was one of the few designers at the time, who had put in as much effort into her discounted/free outfits as she had her regular priced items. 

Every good thing has an end. We have been delighted with the beautiful creations from Passions of Black Swan for the past two weeks. During the past two shows, I have met some great talent and wonderful people and we had a chance to open the doors of Black Swan to many visitors who truly enjoyed the whole experience.

The Passions of Black Swan is closing today with a great big fashion show organised by Timeless Agency today at 2pm and an after party.  I would like to invite everyone  to join one last time and celebrate the endless possibilities  of creativity in SL so come and join us in Black Swan at 2pm.

DJ Heroin Allen fashionable as ever with Rouge Darcy's Liquid Flower in Peach color streaming live from Tokyo in Crimson Shadow for the Global Music Festival sponsored by Languagelab

Heroin Allen loves fashion and Trance music, lives in Tokyo and DJs regularly in Crimson Shadow and Club Haze. The other day, I have spotted her wearing this cute outfit from the Passion of Black Swan Rouge Darcy's Liquid flower ensemble. Liquid Flower brings some freshness to the usual gown collection. Is so far the most sought after cute outfit of the event.

They're finally here! The male line of Crimson Shadow skins commissioned by Rezzable from Draconic Lioncourt have arrived and they are epic! One thing that I've always personally bemoaned is the lack of dramatic makeups available for men. These incredible skins will now keep me happy for a long time. All skins available in 4 different skin tones. Teleport to fetch them, or read on for more info.

 We are celebrating 1 year anniversary of Crimson Shadow and I thought changing the Lucky Chair dress is the best way to kick start the party along with some cool freebies . The Party is at 2pm SLT .

I know it is always a bit crazy when we have a new lucky chair item  and the place is getting already very crowded as you can see from the photo.

I am sure you are just gonna love this flirty dress by Draconic so come and down and enjoy a good party and lots of cake and leave with a wonderful dress. TP to Crimson Shadow now. 

Rezzable presents the 2008 Global Music Festival live on the grid, sponsored by Languagelab.

All to celebrate (virtual) world love and peace!

This year's "Hair Fair" benefiting Locks of Love is easily turning out to be the talk of the summer.  I know personally that the girls of Free*Style have been oohing and ahhing almost non-stop over the incredibly creative styles that are available for purchase.  There are also amazingly generous gifts at every vendor.  It's a hair hoar's dream!  (I think it's less offensive if you write it in lolcats-ese.  At least that's the rumor.  If anyone is offended by "hoar," please look at some pictures of kyoot kitties doing kyoot stuff and then leave a comment, lol.) 

I had the pleasure of meeting great designers during the Fashion Inspired by Black Swan. Kuranosuke Kamachi from DeLA was one of them.

I have asked her to create two gorgeous gowns that would fit to our Crimson Shadow Collection and the new boutique in Black Swan.

Couple of weeks later Kuranosuke gave me these beautifully detailed, extremely delicate two gowns in two colors each. Even before, I have opened the folders I was stunned by the names of the gowns.
