Razor Girl - Nomad

If you hadn't heard, Rezzable has a fashion show coming up "2010 - The Future Is Now.". +DV8+ had the pleasure to being invited to take part in the event, and I managed to get my sticky little fingers on a preview set. Rather than yammer on about how I love it, I'll let Vasha do the talking.

"One of the few reasons left to be pinned down to a home or apartment - is a place to keep your "stuff." But now that our computers can fit in our backpacks, and all our books can fit in our computers - along with everything else we need to write down, read, listen to, or watch... even that may become a thing of the past.

And herein lies the inspiration for Razor Girl - travel as a lifestyle; the legacy of portability in the form of digitally fueled nomads. A new kind of "life on the road" - except this time, no one's roughing it. The death of the permanent address - just check my Facebook page to see where to overnight me that package from Lisbon.

Razor Girl is my virtual answer to that less-virtual struggle - and my vision of the ultimate expression of traveling light without sacrificing an ounce of style. Thirty articles of clothing and ten accessories that are modular and simple - but can create over 100 different looks by mixing and matching them. They even come with a small suitcase, since that's all you'd ever need to carry this wardrobe of 100+ outfits with you. Be nearly naked in bra and panties, or covered from neck to ankles - with a ton of choices in between. Combine different pieces in different ways to be cute, sexy, comfortable, or look like you mean business. But this is no trip to the (failed) 80s mall installation known as Units, where no color seemed too hideous to make into ill-fitting cotton casuals. Razor Girl offers a sleek, flattering fit in bold color and black, worthy of the kind of science fiction movie heroines who grace our portable screens. Of note, I selected the name "Razor Girl" as a tip of the hat to William Gibson, avid futurist and accomplished science fiction author."

This unparalleled fashion event is slated to start on January 17th with stores including The Plastik, BLU282, Hat Mechanic, Bare Rose, Tekeli-li and *so* many more it's ridiculous. So, feel free to drool, you've only got a week to wait.

p.s. Hat and guns not included ;x

After Every Party I Die

INDI's current freebie puzzle is a host of fun club gear, and right now you can get some amaaaazing silver pants for 1L. Tomorrow the whole shebang should be out with past pieces set at 5L, and the most current piece set at 1L. This series has two sequined tops cropped and full length, in pink and yellow. Then two pairs of pants in black and silver. The pants are mod, so you can wear them as skinny or as loose, and look hot the whole time. Make sure to hop by today to grab the pants, and tomorrow to grab the newest peice, as well as whatever you might have missed!


I'm also wearing a new boot by Kalnins, 'Snowdrift'. They are of course color change, and totally adorable. The hair I'm wearing on the left is a new group gift from a newer store Rezlpsa Loc. The group is new and to celebrate she's made a special edition of her most popular hair, and it's very cute. Enrollment is free, so grab it while you can. Also The other hair is Exile's new style 'Molly'. Funky and perfect for partying, even if it looks kind of like a Japanese girl spazzing in the Fruits book.

M'aidez

If you've never heard of Arsenic Lace, well, it's time you have. It's been around for a fair amount of time now with little to do about it, but what you should know about Hawke Mai, and her store? She's good. It doesn't hurt that a certain Ghanima from +++Blue Blood+++ taught her how to create clothing, but she takes that and adds her own spin on things. Her most recent release is named after a couple of characters from a show I love, Dead Like me.

I present to you, Daisy and Rube. Maybe it's just a coincidence that they are named after the characters, but I'll go with it anyway. A gorgeous dress with two skirts, and suit set that could be worn by either a boy or a girl, both look lovely, and put you at the ready to hock your snake oil to the closest passing sucker. You'll also find some lovely dollarbie striped tights in every color you could ever want, so take a minute to check out this still largely unknown shop.

The cute little dress is the latest gift from So Many Styles and it comes with 2 skirt lengths. The tights are a recent release from Luck Inc. The shop offers these in a ton of different colors and styles, and the quality is just excellent. The shoes are the Designers United entry from Anexx that Wrenja showed you last night. Today is your last chance to get them. If you get nothing else, get these shoes! The skin is one of the ones on sale at Dutch Touch. All of the sale skins are marked down to $500L and they are all stunning. It will be next to impossible to decide which ones to get, so plan on dropping some serious cash at this sale. You won't regret it. And last, but not least, the hair is one of the latest styles from Fri.day. They always have the best hair. Go fatpack it XD

Small Town Witch

I poo poo at fantasy wear. A lot. Because I'm a snot, and kind of a bitch, but you know. That said, Evie's Closet makes me think twice. Evie's Closet has been making me sit up and take notice a LOT recently, with her recent Cygnet release, and now with her special editions for the month of January. Let me present to you, Lyra.

Lyra is a new line out just in the past few days, and while the series itself is lovely, the special editions are the real excitement here. There are two versions, Frost and Frostbite, both 750L each, and gorgeous over all. The sets come with three different skirts, a crown, wings and a sense of quality you can't find in many places. I'm just going to say right now, hands down the little tutu wins it for me, but as an ex ballerina, what do you really expect from me?

These sets will only be available through January. February 1st? They'll be gone forever and you'll only be able to wistfully look at these pictures and wish you'd grabbed one while you could.

You're so Loretta Young Silks

Just a reminder, Designers United III ends *TOMORROW* That means, your last chance to grab some beautiful goodies that will be disappearing forever, never to return. Lovely skins, dresses and shoes, among other things await you upon arrival, but be prepared for crowds, because you probably aren't the only one running in to make some last minute purchases.


when I saw the Dollita dress set, I knew I was screwed, it's sassy, flirty and totally sexy. I still think the gloves might be my favorite part though. All of the hair, is Tiny Bird's 'Chicago' style. Narita demanded that I get it because she thought it would look cute on me. Well, she was correct and it's garnered me some lovely compliments so far.

One of the best deals at DU III is without a question, Runo Runo's 'five minutes to curtain' dress. I bought it without a second thought, the price and the quality were an immediate go. Not to be rude, so I apologize, but some of the stuff there was a bit more pricey than it needed to be, so way to go Runo Runo for making something fantastic that *everyone* can afford.


One of the more edgy sets in the event is Tacky Star's 'Fading Starlet' skin set. Aura's brash and unapologetic use of color and skin art is exciting and takes things down a different path entirely. Anexx's shoes were another big win, gorgeous style, details and sock options, what fun! I know I'm not alone when I say I'm excited to see what DU comes out with next, and what new designers they'll involve to entice and excite us.
