Mariko Magic - MEB Anette at Mimi's Choice

MEB Anette available at Mimi's Choice

.

I recently dropped by Mimi's Choice to see some of the newly arrived Fall fashions. Mimi Juneau was in her store wearing a wonderful jacket/dress combination from MEB Fashions called Anette. Anette is a special package deal available at Mimi's Choice that gives you a sculpty jacket called Jane and a black dress called Cameron that are sold separately at MEB Fashions' mainstore. Anette sells for $590L which is a good deal as Jane and Cameron sell individually for $490L and $450L, respectively. Two articles of fashion magic in a special package deal, I needed little persuasion to convince me to acquire them for my own wardrobe.

Italian fashion designs are world class. And I love the Italian taste and tradition in fashion. This taste and tradition has been brought into Second Life by a talented core of Italian designers. Among that group of excellent fashion designers from Italy is MariaElena Barbosa, fashion designer and owner of MEB Fashions. MEB Fashions is a wonderful store to window shop and make a want list from its classy and sexy line of dresses and lingerie. It's almost certain that the jacket and dress in Anette will be on that list, and they go together so well. To see the details on this attractive combination, click on the pictures to enlarge them. Note the details on the Jane jacket. They are marvelous.

The black Cameron dress is stunning. It is classy; but, very fresh and young. Cameron comes in two versions - with short sleeves and sleeveless. Its a very flattering dress for which I am very appreciative. The two versions of the dress are pictured below.

I am wearing blonde hair in a shag cut from Diorsis Hair Design called Brigitte. I have been wearing this hair for the past few days. It is a very simple hair style; but, I have gotten complement after complement for it. So, I am very pleased with this hair. Brigitte sells for $190L. The boots that I am wearing are Stiletto Boots by Blaze. The boots come in 6 colors (silver, chocolate, white, red, champagne, black). I am wearing black. These boots sell for $280L. However, you can buy all 6 colors in a bundle for $700L.

Mariko Magic - Rebecca from INDI Designs

Rebecca by INDI Designs

.

I was wandering around newBerlin, an ambitious Second Life project that will be a true to scale 1-to-1 reproduction of the city of Berlin. As an actual city, much of it is mundane, and it is easy to get lost given its size. So naturally, I was walking about totally bewildered when I unexpectedly came upon a store and was overjoyed to have the opportunity to shop. It was also a very pleasant surprise to find some exciting fashion magic. The store was INDI Designs. I obtained a land mark to the main store and immediately teleported to its location in Blue Sky.

.

.

.

INDI Designs features women and men's fashions and footwear. It's the women's outfits that are the store's highlights. Jamie Holmer, fashion designer and store owner, obviously loves designing for the female form. She adorns it and shows it off well. There's no denying, her fashion line displays considerable attitude. And yet within the boundaries of attitude, her designs are also graceful. This is not grunge. This is style and, much of it, high style.

.

.
I wanted leather and denim that projected attitude and found it in Rebecca. A friend, seeing me in this outfit, remarked, "Mariko, you look dangerous." Extremely dangerous and Very Sexy, I might add. Rebecca sells for $400L and includes 2 jackets (short and long sleeve), 2 tops, 1 pants, belt, wrist bands (gloves), 2 armbands, 2 bras, stockings, and string. The looks given by the short and long sleeve jackets are shown in the pictures below as well as the look without the jackets. I like all three. Of course, the more daring among us can also dress down to the leather bra and string - sexy minimalism with plenty of attitude.
.

.

.
The hair that I am wearing is from Magika and is called Game Over. The store certainly lives up to its motto: 'Hair and lots of it'. Game Over is on sale for $10L and is located on the far left wall of the store, bottom row. Game Over had a lock of hair falling on one eye which I moved to the side through the Edit function to get a look with an unobstructed view of my face.
.
.
I hope you enjoyed this fashion magic. I highly recommend dropping by INDI Designs and putting some attitude into your clothing inventory.

Age of Aquarius - Woodstock Celebrated in Second Life

.

Forty years ago today, half a million people converged on a dairy farm in Bethal New York for a three day festival that became the greatest moment in popular music history. Woodstock has risen in national memory to mythic proportions; but its reality and true meaning is the subject of much debate, even after forty years. Some commentators draw comparisons of this event with the another event that occurred a month earlier - Apollo 11, the lunar landing, a triumph of the World War II generation, a generation disparaged at the time by the generation of the concert goers at Woodstock. Others point out that while a half million Baby Boomers frolicked in the mud at Woodstock, another half million of their generation were fighting in a lost cause in South Vietnam. The nobility of that cause is routinely denied, if not vehemently disparaged, by a large segment of the Baby Boom generation (pity their moral obtuseness, especially given the hindsight of history). And Boomers still fight that war among themselves. But what cannot be denied is that Woodstock was a significant cultural event, and, while we may argue about its social meaning, what we can celebrate is the music.

.
.

Woodstock was celebrated in a monumental concert in Second Life given by Song-Goddess ArorA Chadbourne. ArorA was actually at Woodstock forty years ago, sitting with her girlfriends directly in front of the stage. Today, in her home studio, she's wearing a t-shirt that was given to her at Woodstock, and that she had autographed there by all the members of the Grateful Dead (she should take that shirt to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame or to the Antique Roadshow). The reminiscences and vignettes ArorA shared with us about her experiences at Woodstock were wonderful oral history. For her program, she sang the musical numbers that were performed at Woodstock. Her performance was electrifying. Without a doubt, I was enjoying the best retrospective of Woodstock given anywhere, in Second Life and in real life.

.

.
Apparently, there were a large number of Baby Boomers in the audience (easily identified by their commentary). And I said to myself, "My God, I'm here partying with people who are older than my parents." I thought it amazing that I would be celebrating a happening that transpired twenty years before I was born with people of that far time long ago who were there in person or in spirit. But the music was transcendent, cutting across time and generations. To the Boomers, the music was nostalgic; to me, it was both vaguely familiar and in some ways fresh and awakening. And the energy of ArorA's performance gave me a sense of the thrill and excitement felt by the performers and audience at Woodstock. It was then that I realized how Woodstock should be understood. Let the pundits argue about its so-called 'meaning' in the grand march of social history. Woodstock is best understood on the individual level. What did it mean to the people of the time who were there or wished they were there? It's simple. Woodstock was Youth, Music, Sex, and Drugs - all the makings of a monumental good time in 1969. Youth is freedom, take advantage of it while you can. I'll take that lesson to heart.

I have now been a resident of Hallelujah for two months and have been thoroughly enjoying this community. The Jittery Junco Coffee Shop is my favorite place to hang out. I have created a gallery of the people that I have encountered there over these two months. There are some old friends and acquaintences in the gallery as well as so many new ones. I hope you like it.
