Ladies, this is an essential silhouette for your wardrobe, for its flowing appearance exudes effortless style.

I just love the rich repeated floral textures in contrast to the solid gradated red bodice, its vibrant colors, and the way it flows on me as I walk, offering a relaxed elegant look day or night.
From the runways to High Street, stripes are everywhere today and becoming the very "in" thing in fashion once again.
From dresses and tops to shoes and skirts - stripes are fun and flattering on practically any item in your wardrobe.
I have somewhat of a slender frame silhouette so I chose to go with horizontal stripes.
Utilizing a combination of layered and varying textured apparel, I went with different width stripes and solids to make this casual chic monochromatic statement..
This look is for the Fall. That said, I am wearing this very cute, warm, and comfy woven dark grey, light grey and black bold striped cardigan sweater with my gray and white tightly interwoven taffy woolen skirt. For additional fun, I decided to wear this marvelous ceri black with white trim floppy hat.
To finish my length, I wore these cuffed light and dark gray striped stockings with a pair of espadrilles slip-on gray & white striped loafers for a more comfortable and relaxed appearance.
I also added the pure wool scarf for layered texture, warmth and subtle flare.

Ladies, didn’t we all just love that one big night at the end of our high school year where we would all get to dress up and dance our hearts out? Those were such lovely memories. Seeing our friends, dancing, and of course, being with our prince charming made that night so special for every girl. Do we even need to explain why it’s important to dress up REALLY well for prom night? Pfft!
What you decide to wear to prom is especially important so you can come out looking oh-so-divine!
That said, I wanted to dress in a flirty, fun yet elegant mood. So, I wore this cute, girly mid length hot red dress with a tumbled front that has both attitude, style, and flare. I love the strapless look and how the fabric gathers at my cleavage and drapes so gracefully. It reveals my flirtatious nature, while also making a style statement by not being too plain.
I decided to go sexy with my white legging with red floral accents to pick up the color of my dress.
I thought that these white pearl ankle boots provided just the right touch of class without competing with the dress. I completed the outfit with a white lily and rose hairpiece to complement the accenting florals and this wonderful Maitreya Mignon Dress. The simple clutch is just enough added white to grace my stockings. ♥♥ CWS High School Prom Theme Ensemble by Becky Kénaan ♥♥ Shape: Drunna by Ｋｉｔｏｒｉ Skin: 7DS Greed Drow T3 Eyes: Expressive eyes gray BIG by Nany Merlin Hair/Hat: A&A Carlotta Hair 8 (blond with streaking) by Alice Klinger Nails: CCD Carter Brown and Gold Colored Nails by Kimber Carter (kimber.carter) Dress: Maitreya Mignon Dress - Red by Onyx LeShelle Leggings: SHIKI-KYOTO dress-glitch pants by Shinichi Mathy Bangles: Djinnie R Arm Bracelets by Elvina Ewing Bracelet: EarthStones Genie Bracelet - Cognac Amber/Silver by Abraxxa Anatine Boots: Maitreya Mesh * Devi Booties Pearl by Onyx LeShelle Clutch: RO - Clutch - White - by Sebastian Prince of Thorns (axsisthorn)
Anyone who reads my blogs knows that I believe in visiting places and attending events here in Second Life that are interesting, meaningful, and play both a fun and important role in entertaining and educating us.
That said, I am very pleased to announce that the recent Bogart's Jazz Tribute Concert to Sarah Brightman exceeded those measures in both substance and class.
Both the General Manager Orchide Delmar and Entertainment Manager Ms Sophia Rowlands were so instrumental in the promotion of this event, coordinating the orchestra members and ensuring to make everything run so flawlessly and smooth in collaboration with DJ Merry. Ms AnaPaula also served as a wonderful hostess.
The stage design and lighting with it's special effects were both stunning to behold and delightful to visually experience
Bogart's Jazz paid tribute to Sarah Brightman with such creative flair and imagination. The quality of this tribute concert paid compliment to her as being one of the greatest performing artists of our time.
Performing in this fabulous concert were lildestiny and Zeus Michalski with DJ Merry, Miara Destiny (flute), Nema Ravenhart & Rati Chun (violins), Moira brown (cello), Drea Khandr (Piano), and Debbi Wei & Pixie Phantomhive (vocals)
Her personal attention to detail in her productions are like none others, for she's involved in every single aspect of her concert's presentation.
Lildestiny performing as Sarah Brightman
I can honestly say that the individuals who combined their efforts at Bogart's Jazz captured the very essence of Sarah's style and performance.
Miss Snowpaw (also known as Lildestiny) performed as Sarah Brightman and did a phenomenal job (except for a few occasional "Giggles").
One of my very favorite duets is Sarah with Andrea Bocelli singing "Time to Say Goodbye" ("Con te partirò")
The re-enactment of "Time to Say Goodbye" by both lildestiny Snowpaw and Zeus Michalski was very well done, lending additional affect and splendor to an already superb concert event evening.

"Time to Say Goodbye"
"To countries I never
Saw and shared with you,
Now, yes, I shall experience them.
I'll go with you
On ships across seas
Which, I know,
No, no, exist no longer;
It's time to say goodbye.
When you are far away
I dream of the horizon
And words fail,
And, yes, I know
That you are with me;
You, my moon, are here with me,
My sun, you are here with me
With me, with me, with me.
Time to say goodbye.
To countries I never
Saw and shared with you,
Now, yes, I shall experience them.
I'll go with you
On ships across seas
Which, I know,
No, no, exist no longer,
With you I shall experience them again.
I'll go with you
On ships across seas
Which, I know,
No, no, exist no longer,
With you I shall experience them again.
I'll go with you.
You and me."
Behind the Scenes at Frank's Jazz:
I also think that it is important to show you a glimpse of what exactly goes on behind the scenes and the amount of effort involved in the planning and production of an event such as this Bogart's Jazz Tribute to Sarah Brightman Concert.
That said, let's listen in to an earlier conversation...
Early Afternoon Before the Event:
Becky: "Oh! I hear Nanceee calling me. Hmmm? I can't seem to locate her."
Nanceee: "(Pssst!) Becky! Over here...(Psst!) I am behind the curtains... I need your help PLEASE!"
Nanceee literally holding her breath awaiting for the curtain to open
Becky: "OMG, woman! That must be torture wearing that corset! Will you be able to talk, yet even breathe in that corset? "
Nanceee: "Oh, it is really no big deal. After all, it is for this concert. Besides, a little pain caused by being squeezed into this garment is well worth the look."
Nanceee: "I really don't see a problem whatsoever."
Becky: "Well, I could never wear mine that tight without the fear of fainting. Are you sure that you will be alright? How do you expect to breathe little less move in that extremely tight corset, anyway?"
Nanceee: "I need you to help me with the corset please."
Becky: "Thank goodness that you have come to your senses! I thought it was tight in the first place. Let me loosen it for you..."
Nanceee: "NO! STOP! I need it laced tighter even more!"
Becky: "What is this? Some sort of death wish you have? It's already constricting all of your major organs, Hun!"
Nanceee: "I don't care! I want to look my best when I meet Sarah Brightman."
Becky: "I'll tell you what... Come to the gym with me and I will have that extra midriff melted off of you in no time at all."
Nanceee: " Where do you think I have been for the past three weeks, over at Crispy Cream's? Pfft!"
Nanceee: "If you don't help me, I will tell EVERYONE about THAT little episode where you tossed those red panties of yours up on the stage at the boys performing during the Duran Duran Concert. (And, I will also tell your Mom!)"
Becky: "YOU WOULDN'T DARE!"
Nanceee: "Try me!"
Becky: "Okay, Okay! BUT, I am not going to be held responsible if you suddenly collapse from lack of oxygen with that tourniquet you call a corset."
Nanceee: "Just freakin' get it done!"
Becky: "Okay...fine then! Please lean forward up against this here pole next to the stage and hold on tightly while I tug on these laces."
Becky: "After I say "ready" and count to three, you take a deep, deep breath and hold it ... I will be tightening the laces from the bottom, then the top, and then to the center back of your corset."
Mr Zeus: "A Most unusual Stage Sound Test, Ms. Sinatra. BTW, you scared everyone off the dance floor but you came in loud and clear!"
Nanceee:Gasp! ("Maybe you could loosen my corset now just a tad, Becky.")
Becky: "Zeus!! Hello Hunny Bun! Well, I hardly recognized you with all of that hair. You look at least 10 years younger. Is that a wig that you are wearing for your Andrae Bocelli performance?"
Zeus: "Why thank you Becky! Why, No! This is actually my own hair. I simply decided not to shave my scalp for the performance."
Nanceee: "Wheez, Gasp, Wheez"..."Becky PLEASE concentrate on what you are doing with my corset." (I feel faint)
Becky: "My goodness, Zeus! It looks marvelous on you! How in the world did you get it to grow back SO fast?"
Zeus: "Just simple diet and exercise, Becky. And, lots of Jello!"
Becky: "Well... I think it fits you PERFECTLY! And, you look exactly like Andrae Bocelli!"
Nanceee:"I am dying! Isn't ANYBODY going to help me!"
Becky: "Just think about it, Zeus! Wow!... You and Sarah Brightman performing live together on Stage here at the Bogart's Jazz! You MUST be absolutely thrilled!"
(Nanceee reaches for her Life-Alert Button)
Becky: "You know, Zeus...Sarah Brightman is one very special person whose purpose in life I believe evolves around creating other fantasy worlds for people (through her music) to both enjoy and delight their souls. She has a heavenly voice and spirit that certainly reaches my soul. You are so lucky!"
Becky: "She doesn't just appear to sing live in concert.....She evokes life's emotions and is an absolute gift to all those that have ever had a chance to see her perform."
Nanceee:"Somebody... Anybody?.. PLEASE SAVE ME!"
Becky: "When she sang Bella Fantascia during her One Night in Eden Concert in South Africa, I was so taken by her depth of emotion that I cried."
Becky: "Hold on Zeus... I just received this late-breaking news alert:"
Hmmm? I think I know this Guy...
Becky: "FLASH! We just got this breaking news on our hot-wire! The vendor at "Wigs-R-Us" has reported a break-in at his shop on the sim before dawn."
Becky: "Authorities say that they do have a picture of the suspect taken by the shop's video surveillance camera, and that they have also found the get-away truck."
Nanceee:"Zeus... I will double your salary. In the name of God, get this freakin' corset off of me, PLEASE!"
Becky: "My Informed sources tell me that the police are puzzled because no cash was taken from the vendor's safe...Only one dark-haired italian wig had been removed from it's display, along with five gallons of Rogaine removed from the back storage room."
(Becky turns around and starts loosening Nanceee's corset.)
Becky: "Now what was that you said about telling my Mom about my little pantie incident on stage, Nanceee?"
Nanceee: "Becky, I was just caught up in the moment... On the Pope's grave, I swear to God that I won't tell! Please...Please!!"
(A strong gust of wind blows across the stage)
Becky: "I am SO sorry, Nanceee... Zeus just accidentally distracted me. Isn't that right, Zeus?"
(Becky turns around and finds Zeus gone)
Becky: "Zeus? Oh Zeus? Hmmm..I wonder where he went all of a sudden?)
Nanceee: "He probably just left to collect his unemployment check I would imagine... PFFT!"
Although one may think that astronaut spacesuits cannot be elegantly ladylike, I look at this Classic With Style Astronaut Styling Theme as an opportunity to experiment with both fantasy and fanciful flair in mind.
Traveling through deep space, I imagine seeing the beauty and surreal nature of iridescent curtains of color dancing across a universal sky.
That said, I designed this outfit in a shimmering, intergalactic blue to complement my space walk environment, while still playing to my geeky nature by harnessing a jetpack and donning my solar energy panel arrays to sustain my journey.
For a more 50’s Sci-Fi retro-look, I chose this Buck Rogers type of spherical-glass helmet to show off my hairstyle for more stylized appearance.
After all, as a CWS Model, it’s always important to look your best, regardless of where that might be. HA!
And to show that I mean business, I brought along my matching ray gun to "stun" my prey.
