Alishaba


The Diva of the Month is sold out now and I just created a new dress. This one is named after a very special person because she likes pink ;p - Alishaba - in Arabic it means beautiful sunshine and pretty. I tend to think we all have someone who is an Alishaba in our lives at least I hope so - Beautiful Sunshine :)

JULY DIVA OF THE MONTH - BILLIE HOLIDAY



Every month I will feature a DIVA and a limited edition dress in honor of that Diva. This month it is Billie Holiday. Nicknamed Lady Day[1] by her sometime collaborator Lester Young, Holiday was a seminal influence on jazz, and pop singing. Her vocal style — strongly inspired by instrumentalists — pioneered a new way of manipulating wording and tempo, and also popularized a more personal and intimate approach to singing. Critic John Bush wrote that she "changed the art of American pop vocals forever."[2] She co-wrote only a few songs, but several of them have become jazz standards, notably "God Bless the Child," "Don't Explain," and "Lady Sings the Blues."


20 Dresses and a free poster in the shop. This dress also comes with the Deco Jewels! Ahhh to be a Diva is wonderful! lol

Spirals


There are many spiral forms in nature, both on Earth and in space. Spirals occur in physical forms such as DNA and the shell formation of mollusks such as the conch and chambered nautilus. They also occur in wind patterns, including hurricanes and tornadoes. They are present in air and flame forms known as vortexes and whorls. And they occur in the way things fall in the atmosphere, from leaves to aircraft. In the human body, the spiral pattern of the heart's bioelectric impulses causes the chambers to beat with a spiral pulsing rhythm. Brain waves, comprised of neuron impulses, seem to flow along the neurons and down the spinal cord in a spiral pattern. Some evidence shows bioelectrical spiraling in the labor impulses during birth. Finally, we see spiral forms omnipresent throughout the visible and invisible universe, in galaxies, accretion disks around black holes, coalescing interstellar clouds and many other forms of matter and energy.

Rita Hayworth Pin Up


Rita Hayworth was one of the ultimate beauties of the screen in the 40's. No one did it better than she did and during WWII there was a certain photo of her in a nude/black lace and satin negligee that all the soldiers kept by their sides. When I began making this dress the lace reminded me of that photo and Rita so here is the Rita Hayworth Pin Up.

Someday


Someday, when we are wiser

When the world's older

When we have learned

I pray someday we may yet

Live to live and let live

Someday, life will be fairer

Need will be rarer

And greed will not pay

Godspeed, this bright milleniaOn it's way,

let it come someday

Someday our fight will be won,

andWe'll stand in the sun,

inThat bright afternoon

'Til then, on days when the sunIs gone,

we'll hang onIf we wish upon the moon

There are some days, dark and bitter

Seems we haven't got a prayer

But a prayer for something better

Is the one thing we all share

Someday, when we are wiser

When the whole world is older

When we have love

And I pray someday we may yet

Live to live and one day, someday

Someday life will be fairer

Need will be rarer

And greed will not pay

Godspeed this bright millenia

Let it come

If we wish upon the moon

One day, someday....soon
