CWS: EVOLVE "PaisleyMeBy" Pant Dress - A Flair for Eastern Exotic



Paisley, a pattern that had been demoted as being outdated or plainly "hippie" by stereotype, has made a big comeback this Fall.

Paisley's resurgence is manifested in this gorgeous PaisleyMeBy Harem Pant Dress by none other than Reign of EVOLVE.


The paisley pattern has come a long way from its origins: This ancient Eastern design was first spotted when it was imported into Europe in the 17th century and used mainly on wool or cashmere shawls. In the psychedelic '60s, it was adopted by the Haight Ashbury hippie culture. 

This EVOLVE PaisleyMeBy Pant Dress is SO gorgeous! 


I'm very particular to the fit and flare type of Pant Dresses, but this PaisleyMeBy just caught my eye at the EVOLVE store. I felt the irresistible urge to wear it and to give it a chance.

 And, I'm SO glad that I did.


It's straight strapless bodice with its gold complementing banding at the bust line and belted waist ties in so nicely together with the large gold and olive paisley prints. 


Overall, I find this pant dress so flattering to my slender frame. The waist is actually at the waist. 


I absolutely love the comfortable Harem capri pant look. The color mixtures of gold and olive against a black base color goes truly beautiful together! 


I can easily see this pant dress is so versatile - for it can be dressed up with either heels, ankle boots or even sandals for a more casual chic look. 


For the Fall, you could also wear a cardi with it and go casual.. or perhaps a gold or black stole for a more dressy evening out with your Man. 

It possesses both a feminine and fierce sexy look. It is certainly a great way to show off that fun and flirty style of yours.

♥♥ CWS Event: Styling "Dressy Leather" Ensemble by Becky Kénaan ♥♥



The Classic with Style Theme Styling Event entitled “Dressy Leather” was certainly one of my most favorite weekly event modeling experiences here in Second Life to date.  

Without exception, I enjoyed seeing what each and everyone of our talented models created for this very special styling theme event. 

Modeling here at CWS is so much fun!  

The creativity that CWS helps to inspire is unique to SL, born from that feeling deep inside each of us and nourished by such great and dedicated instructors whose patience and talent helps us to realize our potential. 

THE DRESSY LEATHER LOOK

The CWS "Dressy Leather" Styling Event had us focus on the versatile and creative use of leather in a very chic and very classy way. Leather is such an incredible and beautiful natural fabric that has been used by our ancestors for thousands of years. I was very excited to enter this event, knowing that the sky was the limit and that it woud be yet another great learning experience.

As you have seen, celebrities have been rocking the leather trend at award shows, music videos and music festivals for years. Although there are leather imitations on the market today, no substitute has been able to surpass or come close to the natural beauty, functionality, or versatility that the qualities of leather offers.


Perfect for Autumn, the look, feel, and smell of leather certainly tops my favorite list for choosing leather to wear in season. Insofar as expressing both creativity and versatility, the possibilities using leather are seemingly endless. It also brings out the "animal" in me. 



MY APPROACH 

When I approached the task of choosing my leather ensemble for this styling event, I asked myself what would be the foundation of my leather selections. For my dressy leather look, I chose to go with simple and elegant monochromatics.

As an architectural student a few years back, our design presentations were often required and most eloquently presented in black and white.

In school we learned that forms, textures, and compositions could be much better studied and appreciated by this monochromatic method. As such, my ensemble is intended as a similar exercise in demure yet sophisticated leather fashion - a polished and playful look in sexy textures and shades of black and white leather.

THE LEATHER JACKET


My first article of choice to express the dressy leather look was a even square-shaped and lapeled black leather bomber jacket with woven sleeves. From any way you look at it, this leather jacket type is a classic and never goes out of style.

TANK TOP & UNDERGARMENT

When leathers and soft fabrics get together, it’s love at first sight! 



To balance the trilogy of the leather top, skirt, and boots, I went with a sexy lacy black bra under an open grey tank top for more of a feminine appearance rather than having my ensemble appear too much like that typical Rock ‘n’ Roll leather look. It gave it more of a stylish yet casual statement, with a touch of playfulness. 

THE PENCIL SKIRT


There is definitely a range of cuts, styles, colors, and lengths in different types of skirts to consider. I chose a white, belted leather pencil dress. I felt that it really hit a high note for me by making my ensemble contrastingly stylish and not one bit sleazy.

THE BOOTS

Depending on the style, texture, and finish, leather boots can make the look you are trying to create either downright domineering or sleek. I opted for a suede coal leather high boot for a sophisticated chic appearance to complement the leather jacket and pencil skirt.



ACCESSORIES

For fun, I wore a black leather and chained collar and complemented the collar with silver hooped earrings. My sunglasses were something I wore on impulse, to make more of a mysterious statement. A simple white leather clutch finished my outfit.

CWS: EVOLVE "I Wanna Be" Dress - It Summons Your Inner Flirt


There are so many fantasy characters that one can imagine dressed in this marvelous EVOLVE "I Wanna Be" Dress. 


As the print on this "I Wanna Be" dress suggests, with its colorful yet complex patterns and imagery, the mysterious vision of a catwoman calls out to me within the darker regions of my inner self. 


Wearing this sexy dress, I am drawn to become that dark feline lady of the night. 

Wild and yet as beautiful as a graceful cat, my prowling instincts summons my inner flirtation as a superhero feminine vigilante, innately gifted with superpowers and agility. 


My razor-sharp claws tear away at a Man’s heart, rendering him weak and unable to resist my intoxicating pheromones, surrendering his will to my most intimate sexual desires. 


There is no secret that the Catwoman has always been seen a sex object who, as a sly cunning female, and by her very nature emulates Batman (but to a more ruthless degree with her super-human powers). 


So, I must forewarn you that, if you wear this purr-fect EVOLVE "I Wanna Be" dress, it will not only transform your thinking into a cat-like state, but it will also leave you with a craving for both catnip and those naughty alley tomcats to satisfy your desires and feline curiosity. 


You have heard that silly saying that “Curiosity Killed the Cat,” haven’t you? Well, don’t believe it, for 'curiosity’ is really something rejoiced and enjoyed by the feline prowess of having 'satisfaction brought back’ to her multiple times. And, I think you know what I am referring to, now don’t you? 


Wear this EVOLVE "I Wanna Be" dress and you may just discover both the mystery and the dark secrets of Catwoman.

CWS: Bogart's Jazz Club "Celine Dion Tribute Concert"



Becky: "Well, hello Orchide! Always a pleasure seeing you!"

Orchide: "Hello Becky! I heard that you will be joining us for the Tribute to Celine Dion. It should be a lot of fun!"





Hammer!..Bang! Bang!..Hammer!



Becky: "Oh yes, Orchide! I can’t wait for the performance! I heard that your impersonator has an uncanny resemblance to Celine as well, and she is very entertaining. She is known for her talent and experience to capture the look, sound and the style of Celine Dion."

Orchide: "You know, we deliver nothing but the finest here at Bogart’s Jazz Club for our guests. Samual Wetherby did the staging and the music for this event.  It is going to be spectacular! And, just wait until you see the Lighting that Mr. Zeus has done!  It is absolutely amazing!


Orchide: "And, Celine Dion's music and voice is off the charts!  She has certainly established herself as one of the best-selling musical artists in the world."

Orchide: "I will also have you know that she has received two Grammy awards for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance and a coveted Record of the Year Award."

Hammer!..Bang! Bang!..Hammer!

Becky: "That is way cool! And, did you know that her net worth is well over $500 Million. That is no chump change!"



Orchide: "Pfft! What do you expect? She has sold over 200 million albums, worldwide."

Hammer!..Bang! Bang!..Hammer! 

Becky: "May I ask you what are you building with all of that wood and steel pipe railing, Ma’am?  And, what is that Linden pay ball for?"


Orchide: "Oh, this? ..I am building sort of a prop next to the stage for me to stand where I can observe the activities. I want to make sure that everything goes perfectly since I am going to be in charge of security for this event. I DO multi-task here at Bogart’s with a number of different responsibilities, BTW. Pfft!"

Hammer!..Bang! Bang!..Hammer!

Becky: "That is very interesting, Ma’am... Hmmm? And what is in this big box next to you?"

Hammer!..Bang! Bang!..Hammer!

Orchide: "Oh Look over there! One of our Vendors is having a 50% Off Sale on her gowns! The first 50 customers get free jewelry too!"

Orchide: "Run, Becky, Run!"

Becky: "OMG! There appears to be a naked body in it!!"

Becky: "Is that some sort of Bot you purchased for this event?  He is VERY handsome! 

Orchide: "No, Honey Bun. It is an inflatable Leonardo DiCaprio doll. It was a 'budget-driven' decision you know."


Becky: "Mmmm... and so well proportioned and anatomically correct, I see." 

Orchide: (smirks)

Becky: (smirks)

Becky: "And, what will you do with it after the Celine Dion Tribute Event is over, Ma'am?"


Orchide: "I get to keep him personally as a perk. Also, it is a MUST for security reasons, of course."

Becky:  "But, of course!  (winks)



Becky: "And, you are building the bow of the Titantic!!! WOW! I see the construction drawings over there! You can’t fool me!"

Orchide: "Silly Girl! Don’t you have better things to do? 

Orchide: "...Like swim in a shark tank or something?"


Becky: "And, I just bet that you are going to wrap those inflatable DiCaprio arms around you to recreate that scene where Celine sang “My Heart Will Go On.” 

Becky: "I just LOVE that song! It has become her signature!" 

"You are a genius, Ma’am!"


Orchide: "Erp.. well...(fidgets). Yes, Becky..whatever!"

CWS: Seven Deadly Skins Greed Drow "The Hypnotic Love Potion"





I must forewarn you that, after you adorn this GREED DROW skin from 7 DEADLY SKINS and begin to explore the wonderful attention to detail that Izara has created, your mind just may begin to see the world a bit differently. 


Sophisticated and stunning, it’s beauty begins to transfix your very soul and imagination. And also, please observe that there is no warning label on this skin for the men to take heed. 




It exudes a mesmerizing, and almost hypnotic affect that men cannot resist and may not be able to survive, for it has the added ingredient of a subliminal love potion that conquers men’s hearts and emotions. 



As you may know, in the Drow society, the female is more powerful and stronger than the male. 

Oh My! And, I must also tell you that, by wearing this fabulous GREED DROW skin from 7 DEADLY SKINS, it has enhanced my Matriarchal role. 



I now find that the men I encounter tend to bow before me and become my servants to basically abide to my wishes and sexual fantasies. 



With its sheer beauty, it empowers my inner senses and becomes the universal solvent in my life that provides me with the power to make men do anything I desire. 


Pfft! I may discard of a frivolous man when I am satisfied, and then perhaps seek another to please my most erotic realms as my mood serves me.

I am absolutely head-over-heels in love with this dress!!




As soon as I adorned this dress, it made me feel so beautiful, so feminine, and so classy. 



This gown exudes, engages, and enriches my inner senses in much the same way as when I gaze upon a gorgeously painted sunset.  

This dress creates an emotional climate that recreates the experience of being as one with nature, connecting me innately with its beauty.



This EVOLVE “After the Rain” dress possesses a one-of-a-kind look: It makes a chic, stylish, and stunning statement sure to steal the spotlight at your next special occasion. 




It's very well designed, very structured, and very elegant. Not only does Reign get the cut right, but her choice of vivid and linear-arrayed color shades of red, gold, yellow, and green work so stunningly well together. 


For me, this “After the Rain” gown metaphorically expresses, with biophilic fashion, nature’s way of replenishing the world’s flowers in bloom with raining sustenance. 


As you know, there are many gowns available here in Second Life... in fact an endless multitude. But few make design statements that are both at once elegant and as striking as this EVOLVE “After the Rain” Gown. 


Designed with the fashion smart girl in mind, this dress has a strapless draped bodice that offers unlimited jewelry and accessory options. 

Its length flows seamlessly close down through the hips to the lower calf. From there, it then trumpet-flares out at the floor in dramatic fashion, providing you the perfect exit at any formal venue.



This sexy gown adds so much chutzpah to your appearance! And, with such a stylish and versatile look!
