Owl always love you
I love the 80′s retro items that come and go in the past few years. The 80′s return fashion wise has made me giggle, seeing as everyone spent the last 20 years or so complaining about how awful it was fashion wise, and then bringing it all back in again. But the best thing about it, is that they got to take the best parts of the fashion and rework it to be even better, and correct any really out there fashion faux pas if you will.

Plugged
I had actually taken a studio shot earlier for this post, then ended up downstairs at The Deck chatting with Callie Cline and Whimsy for a few hours. If you haven’t heard the Kitty Cats have new interactive play with them now, so not only do you get to breed them and love them and hold them and feed them, and do all the other things you could do before. But now anyone can pat them. The exciting thing is that aDORKable did the animations for them, so I am so happy about that. I had a little pat myself, and I must admit they are adorable.

ABC’s
The other week Willow Zander started a Blogger Challenge, one that she had done in the past, so a resurrection if you will. The Alphabet Challenge is a fun one, it mixes up looks so much more than most…and for me is a walk in the park seeing as my whole inventory is alphabetised lol.

My Fashion Expert Post
I was honored to be invited to participate in the Fashion Experts Event by Linden Lab. One of the rules was 400 words LOL took me about 4 hours to get down that low, and the credits were at a hundred just on their own. So I left them off the post and set them up here so you can do your shopping. I hope you enjoy my post over at the Second Life Blog, and please come and take part in the forum discussions through the day.

I found the treasure
So earlier today I did a blog post on location. I did not go into it, because I planned on returning to really look at the space. I had no clue that it would not only end up a fabulous fun time with Whimsy and Mel, but the sim just grew and grew into this incredible experience. I for one want everything there, the homes, the stores, the items in the stores, the plants and gardens and wow, it is like being in an actual home and garden showroom in RL the way it is set up in some areas. I wish that everything was for sale as separates in the builds themselves, because there are the most adorable fishy hanging things in one of the houses that I want so bad, but it only comes with everything else. Note to owner though, seriously if you did set everything for sale as individual pieces as well, people like me would go nuts, and convince ourselves it was only this and this and this and this and this and woooops *Grins Greedily*.

by the sea
First off I want to mention that myself, and some incredible Fashion Bloggers are part of a Linden Lab Fashion Expert Days event. Now while I don’t claim to be an expert on anything, this was an honor, to be asked by the powers that be, to be part of something this huge. So if any of my readers drop by, thank you so much in advance, and if you cannot make it, please drop by afterwards and say hi, to not only myself, but everyone involved.
As you know Whimsy and I attended most of the Modavia Fashion Week shows, now while I did not get pics of every show, I am still incredibly impressed by not only the designers, but the event as a whole. Dahlia, Poptart, all of the incredible Models and of course Maddox Dupont who created sets that left us breathless and music that added to the passion of the event.
Now even though the event is over, you can now find many of the creations are in fact now in the stores, so hop to it.

Modavia Fashion Week Day Two
Day 2 of Modavia Fashion Week, and there were more press in attendance and a great group of appreciative VIP’s, and customers. Whimsy and I got there just in time before it filled up, and it was nice to see Cajsa there as well.
The first thing to notice was that the build – done by Maddox Dupont – had changed again, this time a very Metropolis Film look, with art deco styled beams and splashes of coloured lighting. Maddox of MADDesigns has a real knack for pulling together a look with the most minimal of textures, which of course is much needed at an overloaded event such a show of this nature.
The show was about to begin with a store I knew nothing about. Sartoria, is a new to me label and one I will find hard to forget…this is a name I know that myself and Whimsy will be shouting out the next time someone asks about mens clothing in Fashion Emergency. To be honest though, that was pretty much the theme of the day, incredible Menswear, follow with me.
For an oldbie like me, this release had me in awe of the changes to mens fashion over the years. But not only the changes to the actual clothing…look at the models. Men get to be Men, their own Men, not Dante with three shape options – HA HA HA I can say that now they are closed and Lost can bite my bum – lol I am by no means picking on Naughty, if it wasn’t for them we would have had women looking like models and Men looking like crap, I for one will admit to having a few Dante crushes in the past. But again, with the looks today it was so evident that men are again taking on fashion, and taking it on so well. The first store I managed in SL was mainly known for its menswear, and especially suits and really distinguished looks, so when the grid went too casual for guys it was really upsetting to me. Stores like Sartoria and the others shown at Modavia this week are bringing back Class to menswear and YIPEE for that.
The one thing that was very obvious, was the very English influence of the looks. Very Saville Row, and a mix of now and past looks of mens fashion, truly retro inspired , you can imagine the Beatles or Mick wearing these clothes.
Gabriel on the other hand was a lot more dressed to impress. For nights on the town at least. The use of layers was excellent in this and all collections so far, I am truly so happy that LL gave us more than one layer options for each clothing type now. I would have personally loved to see the guys come out again without the coats on, that would have made for an interesting visual – the one difference that is so evident about RL SL Fashion shows, no coats off and twirling.
Aside from the very sexy suited looks, there were some dark and brooding leather military styles, the coats were thick and heavy, just as they should be if trying to pull off this look. The womens wear was all evening, but flirty and cocktail length, simple gradients of colour.
Lastly for me sadly, as the grid went down for many. I personally think it was just so the male lindens could all go shopping in peace – but anyway, FIR & MNA were a huge hit. Naith Smith was there too as he was the hair provider for the show. The funny thing about the show was that Women in the audience talk a lot more when Men are on stage than when Women are…and especially about their shoes. I worked out why though later on, when nearly every model – female – came out after she had shoes on I already own, so what’s the point lol.

Modavia Fashion Week DAY ONE
This morning I was fortunate to be able to attend the Modavia Fashion Week Press Event. Now after the event I actually did stay for four more shows after that one, because not only was the event incredibly well produced…but after the teasers from the press show I had to see more. Whimsy and I sat in awe, watching the new seasons fashion sashay past us, incredible items of not only clothing, but brilliant accessories as well.
The colours were another huge influence in the lines, not much grayscale at all, just vivid colours and splashes of print and amazing displays of wool tweed looks. I tend to talk a lot at Fashion Shows, I am not sorry I do though. I think that it must be so incredibly stressful to be putting your work out there in public LIVE, and there not be any reaction to it at all, other than the occasional copy paste *claps*.
The Press event as stated was a teaser, a little bit of everything that is going to be featured over the next week. Believe me, if you are in any way shape or form not doing anything in the five or so hours every day this event is taking place, make the effort and attend at least one. The stores are great, the items are wow, and after each show the creations seen will be set out for sale in the Modavia Courtyard. So if your excuse – and seeing as I was there at 3am this morning onwards – is timezones, then you can at least check out the goodies at your leasure.
The Sneak Peak Pics:
The other really attention grabbing thing, was that there was a lovely assortment of Mens fashion. Each mens release I saw was well crafted, and definitely a great mix of style and classic pieces, mixed with some more urban looks.
La Gyo Pics:
La Gyo had us all oooing and aaaaing. For a start it must be nerve wrecking to be the first show off the runway. But they definitely lead us off to a fabulous start. The colours are divine, I was even loving purples in there. The combination of La Gyo Accessories with LG Concept clothing as just remarkable. The capelets and full on little hood looks, so divine. Blouses and system skirt overload, a true collection for the ever so elegant fashionista. Not to mention HATS, oh the hat love, I cannot wait to pair them all up with other things.
Chantkare Pics:
The moment the Chantkare release hit the floor I was thinking Madonna. Remembering when she married Guy and all the world was a twitter about her taking on Hunting and all the English nobility type la di da. So when you mix all the wool and tweed, with plaid and PONY Rings, and accessories, it is not such a leap to think of her taking it all to the runway…or some intensely awesome video clip. More beautiful hats, and that skirt and coat from the Modavia poster are just divine. Again just so you do not forget…PONY RINGS!
