This was my look for a semi-casual day of meetings and shopping in SL. I started with the gorgeous sweater from Persona in my favorite color and then built the rest of the look around that. I wanted to keep the focus on that great neckline, so I kept everything else simple. The Rayanne hair is one of my favorites from Exile because it’s so soft and loose yet still very classic, and I thought it was the perfect fit for the mood I was in at the time. The striped pants add a little bit of extra interest rather than just going with a pair of black or gray trousers. Then the whole look is completed with my newest fashion addiction, the Button Boots from Shiny Things.

Where to shop:
Hair: Rayanne in Mink from Exile
Skin: Vixen in Nutmeg from Chai
Sweater: Dita knit blouse in purple from Persona
Pants: DGrey Striped Pants from the Luuna set from Dutch Touch
Boots: Button Boots in eggplant from Shiny Things
Piercings: Piercing 5 and Silver Earrings from Magika
Necklace: Antique Sterling Locket from Genesis (That’s the slurl I have for Genesis, but I didn’t see the locket there today when I went back to check.)
Manicure: French Manicure Sculpted Nails from Pixel Mode
Eyes: Watercolor Grapes from Shine

This month, Jiraiya Turqiri, former designer of the short-lived Fiertze & Co. label, bounced back to open Boutique De Liberte with co-creator Ana Boogiewoogie of Sh*t Happens. The designer duo are promoting their affordable brand of hand-drawn casuals as colourful and unisex.

All clothing items can be demo’d before purchase - a rare and refreshing option currently offered by very few clothing creators.

Though not yet established in a permanent location, potential customers can visit their growing collection at City of Sicilie (82, 82, 24) until the designers have a main store location.

Fleur (formerly Tête a Pied/TaP) by CJ Carnot and Roslin Petion has been one of Second Life®’s most prolific skin brands. Early this month Fleur announced it would be permanently retiring 12 skins in its Vivant line as it makes room for a new product launch in the fall. To commemorate the occasion the established skin designers hosted a “Bon Voyage” Flickr contest.

Congratulations, Rosie.

Film du Jour: Stranger Than Fiction (2006)

The second installment of the HM movie nights. While we waffled on whether to make the event weekly or monthly we pulled out the DVD player and slipped in a flick with one of Will Ferrell’s few semi-serious roles, then sent out notice of the start time.

The comedy-drama centers around Harold Crick (Ferrell) who plays a hum-drum compulsive, obsessive auditor for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) who lives a lonely and dreary life. His clockwork daily routine is upset one day when he begins to hear a woman’s voice narrating his life.

Dress code, as always, undies or pajamas.

Film du Jour: Office Space (1999)

Phoenix had a great idea to have a movie night for Hathor models and friends (she snapped the above photo after a few people had left … or crashed) in our headquarters, which is still undergoing some construction - as you can see from the plywood panels.

The movie is a comedy written and directed by Mike Judge (the creator of Beavis and Butthead, and King of the Hill). Office Space satirizes work life at Initech, a software company, and is set in the 1990s. You’ve got all the typical office “character” stereotypes - which makes it easily relatable for anyone who has ever worked in an office (especially one with cubicles).

We hope to make this a regular occurrence. Maybe use it as grounds to force Phoe into finally watching anything Star Wars, Indiana Jones or Bond-related. I know, it’s a sin.
