The Big Fish : Getting back to it.

Hello 'O loyal blog reader.

Long time no type and I do apologise for being such a faithless blogger. Whilst I have not had much to write, my flickr is still an  interesting visual experiment on my part and one that I really do enjoy on a good day.

Life happens and our priorities are goal posts that keep shifting as we grow and change. I do know that I am preaching to the choir here so I'll sum this all up to simply say that I am getting back to things again. Creating, making images and peeking a little out of my shell.

Also, in this  resurfacing I'd like to post kudos to these amazing creators who continue to inspire me with their creations.

Marketplace: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/891
About: Calico Ingmann is really creative in her hair designs which are mostly fantastical in nature with brilliant braids and general "largeness" as part of her repertoire. She also does awesome beards! The best way to look up Calico hair is to visit her inworld store as she doesn't really keep up with all the other social media avenues.

About: My relationship with this designing duo of BME and White Armory is newest and again springing from my involvment with MFGC though the experience so far has been amazing. They design luxuriant and detailed costumes in fitted mesh for several of the major mesh body brands. I admit to feeling a bit like a kid at x'mas each time they send a blogger pack my way! <3

The Fashion Fish : Genre is Gender Bending!

It's all about the drag for upcoming Genre this 15th Jan (2016).
I like participating in this event on occasion as a designer rather than blogger but nonetheless it is something I feel rather passionately for.
I like that Genre tries to come up with interesting themes that push ideas and boundaries and this is one of the edgier ones on " Drag Queens". In hindsight I really wish I'd taken up the challenge and come up with something (crazy eyelashes or earrings I think would have been what I'd have gone for if I'd thought about it longer), seeing all the lovely things that other people have done for it! I'm sure this round promises to be very entertaining as well as vibrant and interesting! Meanwhile, here's a sneaky peaky at what dM! have made :

Paris, Le Grande


"!dM "Paris La Grande" is deviousMind's contribution to Genre's "Drag Queens" round in January 2016, as per usual to a reduced price [the event runs until February 12th 2016].

And what else comes instantly to mind than.... FEATHERS..... GLITTER....... TICKLES....."
Each set contains 3 boa styles, front and backwards draped (as seen in the single color images) and a wrapped version that runs down the left arm (as seen in the color pack image). And of course they were created with the aspiring dance diva in mind... Each boa consists of of one size fitted mesh, and additional flexi feather add-ons to bring more liveliness to the styling.

"Paris La Grande"  also comes in 12 different colors of peacock feathers: **ONYX**, **BLACK PEACOCK**, **ORANGE**, **CANARY**, **RED**, **PINK**, **PURPLE**, **BLUE**, **ICE PEACOCK**, **KIWI**, **SNOW PEACOCK**, **NATURAL PEACOCK**, and a **COLOR PACK** if you just want to have them all.

Here's what I did with mine :

Dolly In Drag (Part I)

"I don't want to go to heaven. None of my friends will be there"
Dolly In Drag (Part II)
Dolly in Drag part II
"You don't love someone for their looks, or their clothes, or for their fancy car;
 but because they sing a song only you can hear" 
Dolly In Drag (Part III)
Dolly in Drag part III
"This suspense is terrible... I hope it will last!"
Somehow I feel that I was rather channelling Oscar Wilde as I was styling my dolly. I got the body first much early on in my COCO dolly collecting pursuits oddly enough. I only got the face for this particular shoot. Think I might call him Derek McDreamy (Gray's Anatomy harhar)
