			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>We finally reached the end of our &#8220;Dress Me Up!&#8221; request list, and I think I&#8217;ve saved the best for last! These challenges have had us going in a million directions &#8211; from ballgowns to sweatpants to samurai swords &#8211; but this one has us breaking our molds to pieces. When Paulina Oceanlane styled us in Weirdiculous and urged, &#8220;The dorkier the better!&#8221;, it inspired us to give the DP YumYum CSR bunny avatars a try.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3446/3192577460_824f5b43bb_o.png" alt="" width="800" height="600" /></p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve never been to Paulina and the girls&#8217; page, &#8220;<a href="http://dorks.wordpress.com/">Who Let the Dorks Out?</a>&#8220;, go now. Van and I are regular readers, it&#8217;s like a sexy magnet for all that great stuff in SL that makes you smile and laugh. In true dork fashion, I&#8217;ve been wandering the grid looking a lot less playboy and lot more bunny, and I have to say it feels delightful. The overall selection at Weirdiculous is MUCH more colorful than the looks I&#8217;ve chosen here, but I&#8217;m still a fashion bunneh, and I decided on a &#8220;Geek Chic&#8221; approach. That, and I&#8217;ve always wanted to wear Bjork&#8217;s swan dress. I found a match for her hairstyle in House of Heart&#8217;s Jordan, and I chose some simple pumps to keep the focus on the unique design.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3414/3192879312_4b154911c1_o.png" alt="" width="800" height="600" /></p>
<p>I knew Van would look cute in the &#8220;Nerd Boy&#8221; outfit, but Bunny-Van looks cuter than a kitten cuddling with a puppy. The set is packed with this entire look, including his prim bow-tie and shoes, not to mention a skin and shape to match. The fanny-pack alone convinced me to buy it, it actually contains a protractor and ruler(!), and is a perfect example of the awesomely bad creations available in the store. He edited Antonia Marat&#8217;s taped Buddy Holly glasses to fit and we both had to do a lot of modding for our hair, but it was a treat to see my bunny-boyfriend in Armidi&#8217;s classic Poynter.</p>
<p>Thanks to everyone who played the Dress-Up Game with us, and another special thank you to Ach &#8211; who even makes it look cool to go furreh.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>Stacie Pryor of <a href="http://fashionascension.wordpress.com/">Fashion Ascension</a> has laid down the greatest challenge of our short blogging career. Old jeans? Hoodies?? Poor Candy was pulling her hair out trying to find something to wear. Well, for all her stress, look at how cute she looks!</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1111/3172348588_90453135b7_o.png" alt="" width="800" height="600" /></p>
<p>From her adorable Kin &#8216;do to her sweet Kitty&#8217;s Rampage flats, Candy is a Venus in sweats tonight. This look is totally something Candy would wear at home in real life. The sweater dress, the ethnic earrings, and the animal print scarf all have real world twins. Her mehendi and nose piercing are a nice touch, Indian-inspired accessories are a favorite of Candy&#8217;s.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1172/3171462809_9eedeb20ef_o.png" alt="" width="800" height="600" /></p>
<p>The base of my casual look was a complete no-brainer. This Creamshop hoodie looks great with my Fuse jeans, and it&#8217;s a look that&#8217;s very similar to something I would wear to work &#8211; minus all the dangly bits. You all know about these infamous hi-tops, I decided on kind of a crazy combination of patterns and neon colors. I&#8217;m a preppy fancy-pants most of the time, so it was fun to throw on some rock n&#8217; roll accessories, like these facial piercings from DEEKS that I&#8217;ve had for ages. On my hands I&#8217;m rocking the Michael Jackson finger-tape with the Robert Smith nail polish. The Aoharu scarf was Candy&#8217;s idea and I think it looks great. I&#8217;m staring to think I could pull this off in real life and I&#8217;m searching for that scarf right now&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>While Van&#8217;s busy making the stars shine for all the music fans tonight, I&#8217;m ringing in the New Year alone with a bottle of champagne. If you&#8217;ve ever watched &#8220;Mad Men&#8221;, you&#8217;ll know that lonely housewives and long hours of work are common in the Draper household. Every New Years Eve, I feel a little bit like Betty.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3132/3155561566_0a66f0a57d_o.png" alt="" width="800" height="600" /></p>
<p>Don Draper. Workaholic, visionary, lover, liar. If he had a choice, he&#8217;d be at the office on New Year&#8217;s just like my husband is now. Armidi was the obvious choice for an expensive tailored suit, with a Blaze shirt and tie tinted Don&#8217;s signature grey. The Rude Boy hat from Kari is pure 60&#8217;s sophistication, worn here with the Petrelli style for a little modern edge. I had to make a pocket square, and threw in a copy of the moon landing newspaper for a little Kennedy-era ambiance. Of course, business necessities like rocks glasses and ashtrays are easily toted in this smart leather briefcase, found OnRez.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3232/3155174026_46db2d1770_o.png" alt="" width="800" height="600" /></p>
<p>Tonight, Betty Draper is all dressed up with no place to go. When I think of her character, I picture this scene in her blue dress and the ugly aftermath. She&#8217;s a potent reminder that beauty is very different than happiness. There was no finding her exact dress, so I bought a wildly different blue stunner, the aptly named &#8220;All Eyes On Me&#8221; dress from Icing. I fell in love at first sight with this design, and when I read it was inspired by Goldfrapp&#8217;s Supernature I was completely sold. Rich jewel tones, peacock feathers, AND my favorite band?! Clearly, this was made to be my New Years gift to myself. Paper Couture&#8217;s artistic jewelry is the only appropriate embellishment, with matching blue pumps and a jeweled purse fit for any retro trophy wife.</p>
<p><a href="http://cajsalilliehook.wordpress.com/">Cajsa</a>, thank you so much for the perfect excuse to do this. My itch is still not scratched, I&#8217;m picturing Joan and Roger now&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>We&#8217;re skipping around our &#8220;Dress Me Up&#8221; request list, this time to <a href="http://www.theholeintheuniverse.com/">TearSong Vaughan</a>&#8217;s &#8220;Barbie and Ken&#8221; suggestion! A few of the ideas we were given immediately started my brain sparking, and this vintage toy shoot was among them. Thanks so much for the fun concept, I had a blast!</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3107/3145862587_365a65c3cf_o.png" alt="" width="800" height="600" /></p>
<p>Naturally, Barbie has far more accessories to choose from. I chose to do &#8220;Spotlight Barbie&#8221;, a gorgeous classic model from the the 1950&#8217;s, but it was no easy task achieving that kind of glamour. I went to both of my go-to vintage dress shops, Ivalde and Ingenue, and did a lot of thinking before selecting Betty Doyle&#8217;s &#8220;Begin the Beguine&#8221;. I could have gone with a long black gown and added the net bustle myself, but my heart really skipped a beat when I saw this dress, and I knew it was the one. The hair was my next challenge, but I stumbled upon a perfect blonde updo from Aoharu, a former group gift (yay!). To help mirror her outfit, I added a rose corsage, a pair of opera-length gloves from Fleur, and made a quick pink scarf in Barbie&#8217;s signature color. For jewelry, I chose the elegant stacked black pearl necklace from Paper Couture, and a pink and black cocktail ring to wear with drinks after her performance.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3260/3145160723_9d77d6b05f_o.png" alt="" width="800" height="600" /></p>
<p>The original Ken came with little more than swim-trucks and a smile, and for me, there is no avatar who rocks this look better. Years ago, when all the guys were sporting badly-textured board shorts, my husband stumbled into Barnes&#8217; Boutique and found the holy grail of men&#8217;s retro swimwear. Two years, a couple contest wins, and a few propositions later, they&#8217;re still fresh and still his favorite. He&#8217;s wearing Nylon Pinkney&#8217;s &#8220;Gamer Guy&#8221; skin, complete with Ken&#8217;s trademark painted-on hair. The sandals come complete with sculpted toes (tintable) and texture-change straps, and were a pretty amazing deal from J&#8217;s considering they were only L$280. The surfboard was a little more pricey, but it did come with animations and looked a thousand times better than any other I could find, and the hand towel is another great freebie from Bare Rose.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>The second half of <a href="http://www.achariya.net/">Achariya</a>&#8217;s &#8220;Dress Me Up&#8221; request was head to toe Creamshop: for hair, jewelry, and clothing&#8230; with a little hint that she loved the ponchos. I fell hard for them too (and about half the shop, to be honest!) but I went with my gut and started with the pleated balloon skirt and bright tight set instead.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3229/3123425968_93e90ed90c_o.jpg" alt="" width="733" height="604" /></p>
<p>Purple and pink isn&#8217;t seasonal, it&#8217;s not at all sophisticated, I can&#8217;t really explain myself, but I just love it for winter this year. I knew I was going to add a ton of color to this outfit, so I topped the skirt and tights with a great (Free!) simple black blazer and tank combo. I rock a LOT of tomboy looks since I accepted my first pair of jeans into my RL wardrobe, and the casual rolled-sleeve menswear look always makes me feel sexy. I pulled the plaid Creamshop scarf from my inventory, but I did buy these fantastic scripted earrings and quite a few more goodies for another day. My shiny red shoes were another great freebie from the Style Magazine boxes (still there), and the matching red bag was a group gift from ETD. Also from ETD, the lovely limited edition &#8220;Sea Nymph&#8221; braid [Sorry Ach, I just couldn't work the Creamshop hair, much as I lusted after it] and I wore one of my favorite makeup choices from the Wax Poetic line to turn up the volume.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3223/3106412798_00facb9407_o.jpg" alt="" width="733" height="604" /></p>
<p>Color will always inspire me, especially when used liberally and boldly. I actually had a serious aversion to purses in SL, and this splashy red purse cured me instantly. I chose the yellow texture of Creamshop&#8217;s lightning bolt earrings for some clashy style points, and I just had to take a close-up of this insanely detailed safety pin charm &#8211; a passing look at the scarf doesn&#8217;t do it justice. I almost forgot to mention the short leather gloves from Fleur, in my favorite shade of the fatpack, turquoise. And before you laugh, I have it on good authority that rolling around in a box of crayons is totally the &#8220;next big thing&#8221;. Take that.</p>
<p>Skin: Love.Love.Love &#8211; Wax Poetic in Rio<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p><a href="http://www.achariya.net/">Achariya</a> suggested a Samurai theme for me, and I&#8217;m more than happy to oblige. Candy does Japanese themed posts all the time, it&#8217;s a wonder that I haven&#8217;t. When I was in college I had the opportunity to act in a Kabuki version of Sleeping Beauty. I played Tomoya, the Prince Charming of the story. The important thing is, I got to defeat the dragon and save the girl.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3070/3108369923_4926285b5c_o.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="604" /></p>
<p>Here we have tranquil Tomoya at home in his Aoharu hakama. A hakama is an extremely manly pleated skirt outfit that only a virile bad-ass like myself is allowed to wear. I have to mention the hours of hard work Candy put into this photo. There are so many great details: the mask, the artwork, and the little tray with the rice bowl and sake cup. I especially like the unique way the formal embroidered coat, called a &#8220;haori&#8221;, is displayed on a stand in the background.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3017/3108595678_86f90cc0e0_o.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="604" /></p>
<p>Our samurai prince is now dressed and ready to slay another villain. I&#8217;m wearing a lot of items from the Bare Rose Kabukimono outfit, including my footwear, kabuki mask, katanas and jug (no doubt filled with pure spring water), and of course, the Haori in red. My yukata and obi were part of a limited freebie found here in Fantasy China, where this photo was taken.</p>
<p>I had a good time with this challenge and Candy worked her delicately manicured fingers to the bone.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>Weeks ago I took some photos for our &#8220;Dress Me Up&#8221; requests, but quickly succumbed to an explosion of RL and SL activities. Van&#8217;s polishing up his sexy samurai post for later today, so I took my coffee and tackled Shopping Cart Disco&#8217;s <a href="http://shoppingcartdisco.com/?p=756">&#8220;What&#8217;s in Your Bag?&#8221;</a> challenge.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3115/3144680768_5bfdec5761_o.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="563" /></p>
<p>1. Satin Purse with Gold Clasp (circa 1960): Vintage purses, shoes, jewelry, gloves, and especially lingerie, I am a HUGE addict!!! I&#8217;m about to say goodbye to the little vintage boutique that I&#8217;ve worked in for the last two years. The little business is closing thanks to economic pressure, which is heart-breaking. </p>
<p>2. Cover Girl Mirrored Compact in Rose Silk: Yeah it&#8217;s cheap. I&#8217;m a little cheap.</p>
<p>3. Samsung Propel in Red/White: Seriously awesome phone, way out of our price range, we got ours free with Van&#8217;s phone plan!</p>
<p>4. Sonia Kashuk Size 02 Brush: Really nice brush.</p>
<p>5. $100.00 Bill: Thanks Grandpa! I plan on buying some fierce new glasses with it.</p>
<p>6. Red Bic Lighter: My favorite color. No, I don&#8217;t smoke cigarettes. Yuck.</p>
<p>7. Silver Change Purse: Couldn&#8217;t resist it.</p>
<p>8. Smokey Treat: Yum!</p>
<p>9. Max Factor Lip Gloss in Guilty Pleasures: I have a ton of lip colors and glosses, and they&#8217;re all red. I fancy myself a classic, I suppose.</p>
<p>10. Shiny Gold Gloves (circa 1970): The BEST gloves ever, I&#8217;ve made tons of pretty girls green with envy over these. I typically pull out this purse, these gloves, and my vintage black and gold butterfly belt, and instantly have a chic look for almost any base. After pulling together colorful outfits for mannequins all day, you really start to understand why so many stylists wear black all the time!</p>
<p>11 &#8211; 13 Should be my glasses, lip balm, and keys (which have a super-cute little bandaged heart key-chain!), but I forgot them.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t keep much in my purse, I&#8217;m very tidy by nature. For a study in opposites, I&#8217;ll turn things over now to Van and Demon &#8211; they&#8217;ll be your guides for this Manly Bag of Assorted Stage Stuff!</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3257/3144647138_c73de5fdbe_o.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="563" /></p>
<p>I would like to make it clear that no cats were bagged during the shoot. He&#8217;s a good-looking cat, isn&#8217;t he?</p>
<p>1. Jansport Backpack: I love my huge backpack. It&#8217;s black like everything else.</p>
<p>2. Roll of Gaff Tape: Duct tape is gaff tape&#8217;s bitch. Gaff tape will stick to anything but running water.</p>
<p>3. Bottle of Water: Always have a bottle of water.</p>
<p>4. Emergency Poncho: Self-explanatory. It rains.</p>
<p>5. Samsung Propel in Green/Black: My phone is my e-brain. It&#8217;s my calender, it&#8217;s the most important tool for my job.</p>
<p>6. Plaid Scarf: I have a sport coat with this exact pattern, it&#8217;s pimpalicious.</p>
<p>7. Splice Connectors: Little deelies that are used to connect two wires.</p>
<p>8. PAR 64 Ceramic: An electrical component from a theatrical lighting fixture.</p>
<p>9. Bad 10 ft. Edison Cable: I&#8217;m going to put new ends on this, and use it to plug things in.</p>
<p>10. Stage Pass/Credentials: This is the thing that gets you in, that proves you work there.</p>
<p>11. Multi-Tool: Yeah. It&#8217;s a multi-tool.</p>
<p>12. Portable Toothbrush: I work 20-hour days sometimes, it feels really good to brush your teeth.</p>
<p>13. Trial Size Toothpaste: See above.</p>
<p>14. Shakey Percussion Egg: Found at work, little musical instrument.</p>
<p>15. AA Batteries: I had a lot more.</p>
<p>16. 3-Pin Female to Male 5-Pin DMX Adapter: Adapter for signal cable.</p>
<p>17. Multi-Tool Pouch: Holds my multi-tool.</p>
<p>18. Electrical Tape: Yes.</p>
<p>19. Cell Phone Charger: The one thing I&#8217;ve found about the Propel, is that it&#8217;s battery life is not great &#8211; so I always carry my charger.</p>
<p>20. Knit Gloves: Black, like everything else.</p>
<p>21. Flashlight: Needs some of those AA Batteries&#8230;</p>
<p>22. Crescent Wrench: The ubiquitous stage tool. Everyone has one.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>A couple days ago, Ach tricked some of you into showing your skivvies for the sake of <a href="http://www.achariya.net/2008/12/dress-me-up-challenge.html">fashion and fun</a>. We&#8217;re not exactly strangers to public semi-nudity, and Van thought it about was time we joined this sexy party.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3242/3101151564_e209fcd0a9_o.png" alt="" width="800" height="605" /></p>
<p>So, dress us up! Tired of the red hair, sick of seeing Van in bow-ties, like to see me in something classy for once? Leave a suggestion and we&#8217;ll try it, no matter how different. I tend to visit the same stores over and over, and we haven&#8217;t broken our molds in a while. Just pretend we&#8217;re Barbie and Ken, but better. Heehee!</p>
<p>Rules:<br />
1. Post a picture of yourself in your underpants.<br />
2. In this post, invite your readers to suggest a particular outfit (or hair, jewelry, shoes, skin, etc.) from a designer for you to purchase and write about. (Designers, feel free to suggest items from your own line &#8211; why not, after all?) People who respond should explain why they like these items.<br />
3. In the next few weeks, look back over the suggestion list and incorporate these ideas into your regular blogging, marking these entries with the tag &#8220;dress me up.&#8221; Post in as many or few suggestions as you want. It&#8217;s up to the blogger&#8217;s discretion to pick which items to wear, so no complaining if they don&#8217;t pick your idea, K? :D </p>
<p>I&#8217;d like to say a big &#8220;Thank You&#8221; to <a href="http://www.achariya.net/">Achariya</a>, for always bringing the love to our community, and making things a little more awesome everywhere she goes. Cheers to her, she may have found the cutest way to get your friends naked!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>With the almost limitless selection at Bare Rose, it&#8217;s hard to believe that some people still try to put June Dion&#8217;s work in a category. I actually enjoy a little in-world browsing despite the cries of lag, and I&#8217;ve eavesdropped on a quite a few confused noobies wondering aloud what kind of store they&#8217;re in. If you haven&#8217;t figured it out, it&#8217;s not just for harajuku nekos or undead robots or even your neighborhood runway queen. It&#8217;s for all of the above, and every misfit in-between.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3283/3093590919_6e96e49f7a_o.jpg" alt="" width="802" height="604" /></p>
<p>Although I&#8217;m not quite the &#8220;damsel in distress&#8221; type, Van will always be my knight in shining armor. The chest-plate, gauntlets, and other sculpted prims were part of the King&#8217;s Armor outfit from this August&#8217;s scavenger hunt, one of those rare finds that really is a treasure. His white cloak and clothing-layer chain mail are options from the Mystic Knight outfit, which also includes this fearsome blade. The white studded short boots are perfect for any paladin, and his golden crown is fit for a king. Now, all that&#8217;s left is to save the princess and slay the dragon&#8230;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3137/3093547075_aa73e5cce0_o.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="604" /></p>
<p>I knew I wanted this to be a snowy shoot, and I settled on what I call an ethnic fairy princess look. I chose the fur cape from a bunny costume for my base, and added a gorgeous arctic fox stole from the Nocturne No. 2 geisha outfit. I may not look it but I&#8217;m actually Native American, and I always feel powerful wearing items that represent my totem animal, the fox. The scene-stealing masterpiece of a skirt is from the same Nocturne No. 2 kimono, mixed with the top and gloves from the Nirvana outfit. My kanzashi (hair ornament) is from the Nadeshiko kimono dress, and the furred closed fan is from yet another kimono outfit, the Uchikake. I have an almost complete inventory of her geisha costumes, and I&#8217;ve never transferred one. Clearly, <a href="http://incoldbloodsl.blogspot.com/2008/12/rosebud-challenge.html">Winter</a> isn&#8217;t the only one with fangs when it come to June Dion&#8217;s creations. My rope-work sandals are the Hishi shoes in white, and I added a tiny punch of red with my Gianetti manicure.</p>
