A Day at the Beach With The Curious Seamstress!

Posted in Opium Insight, Reviews on July 30th, 2010 by PaisleyLancaster
We are in  the middle of the hottest summer on record and The Curious Seamstress of GreenWood Designs has some of the coolest, vintage swim suits on the grid! The Sea Pearls Swim Suit Collection!  These are sexy in a classically elegant and fun way that would look great for sailing or swimming.
Firstly, we start with Sea Pearls 1920′s Swim Suit~ Just Ducky……
This bathing suit is from the last half of the 1920s when women’s swim suits went from black wool with long socks and shoes to brightly colored above the knee shorts and tunic tops.  This suit is based on a real suit, so some young woman in the 1920s wore this to the beach.
Next I am wearing  Sea Pearls 1940′s Dorothy Swim & Play Suit…………
This is an adorable one piece, blue gingham suit from the 1940′s. The demure design is true to the period, with a frilly skirt to cover you in a modest style, white eyelet lace at the neckline and tiny buttons at the back. The white straw beach hat has a wide blue band to match and a little cluster of juicy, red cherries. The heart shaped sunglasses add even more playfulness to Sea Pearls Dorothy  Swim & Play 1940′s suit. I just adore blue gingham, don’t you?
Next up to the beach is the Sea Pearls 1947  Swim & Play Bubblegum Swim Suit also complete with wide brimmed beach hat and heart shaped sunglasses.
Bubblegum is a white with pink dots designed swimsuit that is adorable and totally something that would be a hit on the beaches in 1947. The front has a laced bodice with a bow to keep all the goodies in check with a cute little bows to top it off.
The back of Bubblegum is too cute for words with crisscrossed straps across the upper back and buttons to keep you cinched up. Fun & flirty, this would be just as at home on a sailboat as on the beach.
Swim & Play 1950′s Swim & Play Swim Suit Hibiscus is so pretty. This is such a cute, cute swimsuit, from the gorgeous, vibrant red and orange patterned print to the pineapple sunglasses….this may just be my favorite, but truly it’s hard to pick just one!
Pretty white hibiscus flowers are abundant and lend a tropical look to this suit and the overall look would be at home at a luncheon with the girls also.
The sunglasses are actually period and so quirky and awesome….little pineapples for your eyes….what could be more 50′s?
Next for your viewing pleasure, I am wearing Sea Pearls Vintage Swimsuit – 50′s French Picnic ………….
This suit is based on an early 1950′s French swim suit.  It was considered quite risque for its time because of cut outs on the hip, but for us it is a perfect outfit for sailing or swimming. The sunglasses are vintage as well.
Next I have Sea Pearls 1950′s Sex Kitten Swim Suit…….
This suit is exactly like one worn by Brigitte Bardot in her break out movie, ‘And God Created Woman’.  While the movie was panned, Miss Bardot made pink gingham suits hot.
Sometimes exposing more isn’t nearly as sexy as hinting at it can be.  She also was the one who was titled sex kitten.  That term can be good or bad, depending on how you view it.  For me, I just think it’s cute.
I love this 1950′s inspired bikini, showing that the styles definitely got more daring with each passing decade.
Check out the sexy caboose this suit gives you, making you look amazing front to back !
This concludes a day at the beach with The Curious Seamstress of GreenWood Designs and I hope you enjoyed my blog. I love to show you the great vintage designs of Kembri Tomsen.
You can get any of these wonderfully vintage swim suits at The Curious Seamstress of GreenWood Designs and the LM is below. Get ready to hit the beach!

Amazing Half Price Mini at Miamai…Lucille!

Posted in Opium Insight, Reviews on July 30th, 2010 by PaisleyLancaster

Happy Friday just got happier at Miamai…..just look at this uniquely sexy and perfectly made satin mini dress from Monica Outlander. Lucille is HOT !

The floral patterned, satin halter, mimicks a bikini style top in the front, leading down to a beautifully bare midriff wrapped in a slightly twisted band of satin and almost letting your cute little belly button peek out, before flaring to a flirty, flouncy mini skirt.

These sexy mini dresses will turn the heat up on your summer in a big way…..I guarantee it! Because no one is better than Miamai & Monica at turning out the sexy styles and turning up the heat. The cutout style of this is seductive and the short layers of skirt will show off your legs, whether dancing at the club or dining with your sweetheart.

So if this super sensual mini is not enough of a steal at 350Ls , how about the blue version for the ridiculous price of only  175Ls ???  That’s right Monica has sweetly decided to cut us a HUGE deal on sexy lil’ Lucille and it will be half off this weekend only. Convinced to take a trip to Miamai yet?

Miamai’s Lucille is the mini to be in to bring even more heat to your summer! Grab the LM below to head to Miamai Main Store- City Girl Department  this weekend ONLY for Lucille in Blue at HALF PRICE…175 Ls ! See you there !

::GB:: Stripes ‘n Suits

Posted in Reviews on July 30th, 2010 by Trouble "TJ" Inglewood

Among the new editions to the GABRIEL menswear line are two new suits in stripes:  a Stripe Suit with Jacket and and a Stripe Vest suit.  Ask any designer, pinstripes in SL clothing design are not easy to do, yet GABRIEL is close to perfection.

First up is the ::GB:: Black Stripe Suit with Black shirt.  Primmed to the max with cuffs on all 4s, long line jacket, belt, and collar with or without necktie.

Pinstripe all around with a solid black collared shirt, this is a contemporary, casual suit that is well styled on its’ own without the need for much more.  The suit speaks for itself and is signature GABRIEL.  (Shoes by Kalnins)

If you prefer something with a bit more of an edge to it, then the ::GB:: Stripe Vest Suit is for you.  With a black rolled cuff, generously unbuttoned, untucked, collared shirt that offers some attitude and a stripe vest, also unbuttoned, the look stands alone and could even be worn separately with Gabriel jeans. (Glasses by GOS)

What really sets this outfit apart and gives it an edge that’s unique are the metallic pants and pant belt, doubled, and worn on the left leg. (Boots by Hoorenbeek)

Two awesome options, new from GABRIEL, offering something classic and casually elegant or something edgy with obvious attitude.  Either way, GABRIEL continues to excel in designing hot clothing with great looks.  Check out GABRIEL at their NEW LOCATION on the Gabriel sim!!

Readheads Rock

Posted in Reviews on July 29th, 2010 by dancerdallagio

Don’t rock the boat, unless you are a rocking red.   Baiastice has just released their new Pulchra Skins with hair bases (also packaged without hair) in glorious red.  Combined with the new Hair attachments,  it’s a great day to be in the minority of the population (go Irish).

The above 6 make ups are part of the 30 available (also sold in three small and one large fatpack for 50% discount); the hair base versions are shown along with the Donatella Hair Attachment in Red (porcelaine); each Hair Attachment is matched to one of the 6 skin tones available.

The above make ups are shown with the Boop Hair Attachment in Red (porcelaine).

(Please be sure to click on the photos to see them larger)

Just 3 of the  more heavily made up choices are shown above with the Malvi Hair Attachment (it reminds me of a bow and also has a bit of a ponytail).

A big thank you to Baiastice for remembering the redheads of the virtual world!
