Frankly Scarlett...



So the Diva continues ... from now on each month I will release 20 Diva's in the morning and 20 Diva's in the evening due to popular demand and a hint that some people do get on SL later - sorry :( On to the dress! Frankly Scarlett, I don't give a damn - but I do! For some reason SL did not pick up the sparkling of this dress in the pics and it is amazingly shiny! I hope you can tell from the closeup of the texture that this dress is one dazzling creation. I was too tired to put out for you this evening but it will be out tomorrow so look for it - it is pure dazzling - Frankly!

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

Lady Sings The Blues


Billie Holliday - need I say more? (Releasing tomorrow).

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

Here Comes The Sun


This is one of my favorite Beatles songs - maybe it is simple but sometimes it makes you feel better and so - just because I can - this is a freebie for all my group members and subscribers - an extra thank you to all who have sent me heartfelt emails and thank you's and just because I do care about you!



Here Comes The Sun

Here comes the sun,

here comes the sun,

and I say it's all right

Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter

Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun, here comes the sunand I say it's all right

Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces

Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun

and I say it's all right

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...

Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting

Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear

Here comes the sun,

here comes the sun,

and I say it's all right

It's all right
This song can be found on these albums:

Shangri La


Shangri-La is a fictional place described in the 1933 novel Lost Horizon by British author James Hilton. In the book, "Shangri-La" is a mystical, harmonious valley, gently guided from a lamasery, enclosed in the western end of the Kunlun Mountains. Shangri-La has become synonymous with any earthly paradise but particularly a mythical Himalayan utopia—a permanently happy land, isolated from the outside world. In the novel Lost Horizon, the people who live at Shangri-La are almost immortal, living years beyond the normal lifespan. The word also evokes the imagery of exoticism of the Orient. The story of Shangri-La is based on the concept of Shambhala, a mystical city in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition.

Grace of My Heart - PAH FEST PRE-RELEASE


This is a title from a movie about the early days of the 50's and 60's relating to the music industry and one of my favorite songs from the movie was "God Give Me Strength" and if you have not seen the movie its a must - the dress suited the title - Grace of My Heart.


Now I have nothing, so God give me strength
'Cause I'm weak in his wake
And if I'm strong I might still breathe
And I don't have anything to share
That I won't throw away into the air
That song is sung out
This bell is rung out
He was the light that I'd bless
He took my last chance at happiness
So God give me strength, God give me strength
I can't hold onto her, God give me strength
When the phone doesn't ring
And I'm lost in imagining
Everything that kind of love is worth
As I tumble back down to the earth
That song is sung out
This bell is rung out
He was the light that I'd bless
He took my last chance at happiness
So God give me strength
(Bridge)
God if he'd grant me his indulgence and decline
I might as well, wipe him from my memory
Fracture the spell, as he becomes my enemy
Maybe I was washed out like a lip-print on my shirt
See, I'm only human, I want him to hurt
I want him
want him to hurt
[instrumental]
Since I lost the power to pretend
That there could ever be a happy ending
That song is sung out
This bell is rung out
He was the light that I'd bless
He took my last chance at happiness
So God give me strength, God give me strength

Midsummers Night Dream


Or, if there were a sympathy in choice, War, death, or sickness did lay siege to it, Making it momentany as a sound, Swift as a shadow, short as any dream; Brief as the lightning in the collied night, That, in a spleen, unfolds both heaven and earth, And ere a man hath power to say 'Behold!' The jaws of darkness do devour it up: So quick bright things come to confusion.

Floradora Girl



Blame Floradora - her name popped up while I was making this dress and I started thinking of the Floradora Girls and this is the result and a freebie for you Floradora with thanks for your inspiration :)

The most popular all Girl groups of the time was the English Girls later nicknamed the "Floradora Girls" who performed the leggy, risqué dances popular during the time in the show entitled "Floradora" which opened in London on November 11, 1899, and later came to America in 1900 from the London Operetta. These leggy dancers became a chorus type dance
group like the Goldwyn Girls, Tiller Girls, Goldiggers, Ziegfeld Girls etc. and a musical stock company of female dancers like the Golddiggers etc. who appeared in many musicals such as Ziegfelds productions.

-- Many of these ladies would later dance as Goldwyn Girls, Ziegfeld Girls and others as well as other musicals and movies in the 1900s-1940s. They were sometimes listed as "Models," "Showgirls" or "Chorus Girls." Most of the Girls would dance in the show, marry one of the Rich Patrons and quit the show which over time produced over 70 Floradora dancers.

Deco Jewels


You can purchase the jewelry from Tracks of My Tears seperately in my shop :) They are called "Deco Jewels" and are perfect for all the fashions of the 1920's! :)

FINAL FOR PAH - UNRELEASED - Tracks Of My Tears


The Tracks of My Tears
Smokey Robinson, Motown
People say I'm the life of the party
Cause I tell a joke or two
Although I might be laughing loud and hearty
Deep inside I'm blue

So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
Just look closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
I need you, need you

Since you left me if you see me with another girl
Seeming like I'm having fun
Although she may be cute she's just a substitute
'Cause you're the permanent one

Outside, I'm masquerading
Inside, my hope is fading
Just a clown, oh yeah since you put me down
My smile is my make-up I wear since my break-up with you

The New LEMANIA INDIGO DESIGNS BOUTIQUE


The new Lemania Indigo Designs Boutique will be located in the center of the sim in a deserted market place ala steam punk. The designs for the boutique will be colorful, creative and maybe a little strange but the good thing is all will be priced at 100L. This is the first entry into the Boutique - Carnival. A colorful magic dancing outfit with jewelry, stockings and flexi skirt all in this lovely color - it was such fun to make thats why I decided to create a Boutique style - :)

So I went crazy with the color but I am too tired to finish - tomorrow is another day

Holly Golightly


Holly Golightly: He's all right! Aren't you, cat? Poor cat! Poor slob! Poor slob without a name! The way I see it I haven't got the right to give him one. We don't belong to each other. We just took up one day by the river. I don't want to own anything until I find a place where me and things go together. I'm not sure where that is but I know what it is like. It's like Tiffany's.
Paul Varjak: Tiffany's? You mean the jewelry store.
Holly Golightly: That's right. I'm just CRAZY about Tiffany's!

Love The Pics!


Here is a great pic of Danie Roelofs and Rachela Rossini wearing the Fireworks dress. They won a best dressed contest yay! :) Thanks for sharing the pics guys I love to see people wearing my clothes!

Who Loves Ya Baby!


I need to get on my soapbox for a minute and explain something to people who have no conception what being blind means. If you are blind it does not mean you are mentally challenged, it does not mean you are not a normal person with normal feelings. It only means there are SOME things you cannot do but hundreds of things you can do. Even in this day and age there are still barriers that exist for people with disabilities - before you become one of those roadblocks - stop and think. Instead, be a helping hand and help them over that barrier. And for all of you that struggle daily with societies expectations - WHO LOVES YA BABY! - I do!
