Roslin Petion and CJ Carnot of 5th & Oxford have released their Summer Cocktails collection. I’ve always known CJ was a gifted builder – each incarnation of their main store on Nouveau is a testament to his skills – but the bar set they have created is exceptionally designed and loaded with details. The glasses [...]

Summer Fun: Part 2
by Gabby Panacek on 14. Jul, 2009 in fashion
It’s no secret that I am a huge fan of Ryker Beck and her Exodi line of clothing, skin, shoes and jewelry. That said, it shouldn’t come as any surprise that I am a huge fan of her 2009 swimwear collection. Interesting shapes, just the right amount of sheen and an adorable cover-up…who could ask [...]
Bohemian Rhapsody
by Gabby Panacek on 25. May, 2009 in fashion, look of the day, new release
I’m sure I’ve told you before that the very first SL blog I followed regularly was Milla Michinaga’s diary of daily looks. I looked to her for inspiration and ideas. If I was putting together a look that needed a particular style of shirt, for example, I would troll back through her archives and sure [...]
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
by Gabby Panacek on 22. May, 2009 in announcements, commentary, events, fashion, just for fun
I think I’ve finally climbed my way out from under the avalanche of Blogger Appreciation Week gifts, and all I can say is “Thank You!” A thousand “thank you”s to the fashion designers in Second Life who put their creativity and talent out there for all of us to enjoy; who work tirelessly to make [...]
Mashing up caLLie’s Mashup
by Gabby Panacek on 06. May, 2009 in fashion, just for fun, look of the day
I remember my first Christmas in Second Life, I was still trying to get the hang of the whole mix and match thing (some might say I still am). I was inspired by the shopper mashups that caLLie cLine was creating and selling as complete outfits. I’m pretty sure I bought them all. Well, she’s [...]
Blogger Challenge: How Low Can You Go?
by Gabby Panacek on 11. Apr, 2009 in challenge, fashion, just for fun
Isle Lunesea posted on her blog about how we can all do our part to reduce lag at crowded events, hunts and expos by choosing wearables that contribute to a low ARC or Avatar Rendering Cost. So she challenged bloggers to come up with attractive, low-ARC outfits…under 100 ARC to be exact. I really pushed [...]
What’s Black & White & Pink All Over?
by Gabby Panacek on 01. Apr, 2009 in commentary, fashion, just for fun, look of the day
Okay, so the the old joke is actually: What’s black and white and read all over? (a newspaper…yucka yucka yucka). And when I started putting this outfit together, I had on some red accents to go with the black and white. (Get it? Read. Red.) Then Java sent me a little pink dress and my [...]
A Few Of My Favorite (New) Things
by Gabby Panacek on 30. Mar, 2009 in fashion, just for fun, look of the day, poses
By now you I’m certain you’ve all heard that ETD has reopened with 2 brand new hairstyles and 2 new versions of previous styles. I’ve been changing them often and I have to say, I really love Elika’s new textures. It seems like braids and skinny headbands/wraps are one of the spring trends on the [...]

I See The Moon & The Moon Sees Me
by Gabby Panacek on 02. Aug, 2009 in commentary, couture, evening wear, fashion, just for fun, new release
I’ve recently become reacquainted with Moonshine. No, I haven’t taken to distilling my own liquor, but I have rediscovered my fondness for Shelly Toonie’s designs. I have an alt (shhh…don’t tell) whose inventory consists predominantly of Moonshine clothing, yet I have only a few pieces on my main account. So, I was delighted when Shelly, [...]
