Luxe Paris Fashion Introduces the Vanity Dress - Its Design Accentuates Your Feminine Qualities with Sophisticated Flair.

Fashion has long seen the female body as a supple being, something to be 

pliable and molded according to the contemporary norms of today’s 

social codes and the capricious whims of the fashion industry. 

Corsetry has historically signified both beauty and oppression. 

Now that it has re-emerged again in trend, let’s look back 

in time to better understand its current resurgence. 

In the 19th and early 20th centuries the ideal figure was more statuesque 

in appearance than that of today’s look. For many women during those periods, 

the physical proportions and statuesque curves dictated the fashion of that era. 

Corsetry was seen as a reflection of a distinct brand of feminism. 

No other garment so radically reshaped the physical body of a woman. 

It not only transformed our perceptions of the figure, it also 

distinctly changed a woman's form - by kneading the flesh into a 

tightly laced corset to literally carve out a new body for its wearer. 

In addition to focusing on the waistline, attention was also paid to the other 
parts of the body – with smooth long hips and pronounced busts more commonplace.

Today, the corset dress has become a popular fashion statement 

with its shape making a comeback all over the catwalk.

In an age where fashion has never been more concerned with being
feminist, the corset dress represents how powerfully women can
reclaim and reinvent what clothing means to them. 

This Luxe Paris Vanity Dress is a great example. 

Its overall silhouette is very sexy and flattering. 

I absolutely love the buttoned-down wrap look of this dress. I also like 

the off shoulder, contrasting laced sleeves and how they are cleverly 

button-fastened to the body of the dress. 

Its corset bodice design enhances the figure by accentuating our feminine 

qualities with sophisticated flair. Its lightly boned bust and sweetheart neckline is 

divine, with a design intended to conceal the cleavage rather than express it. 

If you’re after the full corset look, you can’t go wrong adorning 

this beautiful red & black Luxe Paris Vanity Dress!

Rather than contorting my body, this Vanity corset dress fits my exact shape. If 

you’re an avid corset fan like me, you’ll be in your element wearing this dress.

DAZZLE Events "Dazzling Holidays in Glitter" (Dec. 1st - 25th) Premiers the PRISM Chelsey Gown - Empowering Your Grace, Elegance & Style

Like it or not, the clothing you select speaks volumes about you as a person. 

The big question here in Second Life is whether you care about fashion and 

what you're communicating through your fashion choices. 

The choices of clothing you make tells a story about you. 
If you are a model like me, you want to show that your look 
is in trend, it is clean, sharp and sophisticated. 

The presentation not only addresses your outfit and the accessories and 

hairstyle you choose for it, but also helps you mentally step up your game - 

for it is important for your confidence and sense of self-empowerment. 

What you decide to wear and style does more than just send messages for it actually 

impacts how you think - which in turn telegraphs your self-confidence to others. 

That is why I enjoy modeling for Jezzixa of Prism Creations. She gets it! 

Take for example her Prism Chelsey Gown.

This type and quality of corset gown is an immediate self-esteem builder –
for it not only influences the way others perceive you, it also makes
others consider how they perceive themselves around you. 

Its attention to detail is absolutely superb in every way! 

I love the scalloped sweetheart strapless neckline, 

its colorful glitter filigree corset bodice and the special way 

the tulle skirting flows and swishes with the dress. 

It also comes with your choice of a gorgeous 18K yellow gold or 

platinum chained pearl necklace with matching earrings.

This Prism Chelsey Gown comes in Black, Blue, Bronze, Green,
Pink, Purple, Turquoise, Yellow and Red.

 These features and accessories make me feel attractive which gives 

me the confidence in making great social connections at any gala event. 

Taking intentional control of how you dress is a good step in empowering yourself, 

accomplishing your goals, and living a more meaningful Second Life. 

That said, pay attention to what you choose to wear.  The world's your stage! 

So do it with grace, elegance & style wearing this fabulous Prism Chelsey Gown.

The Artwork of Etta Teichmann - Leading your Mind from Discovery to Sensual Surprise

Paisley Place: The Sensual Side "Lovers"

Have any of you ever seen Etta Teichmann’s artwork here in Second Life? 

 While exploring the Second Life world, I was fortunate to come into contact with 

Etta personally and then look at some of her work and discuss it with her. 

Paisley Place - The Sensual Side Exhibition 

If you haven’t seen her artwork, you are missing out on quite a treat. 

Etta is a real life artist with a deep and passionate appreciation for 
beauty in the natural world and within the human spirit. 

Her work is executed in a vibrant, impressionistic style which (while
still retaining its representational roots) incorporates abstract 
elements, resulting in a uniquely contemporary union.

Paisley Place: The Sensual Side "Concerto"

After coming to Second Life in 2007, Etta has expanded her exposure and 
brought her art to the virtual world. She does wonderful artwork -  
art pieces which are perfect for that special statement you 
may be looking for at your home or venue here in SL. 

 Wherever you display her artwork, she hopes that you will enjoy
experiencing it as much as she enjoyed creating it.

Etta's dedication to creating beautiful and expressive paintings
has manifested broadly into the development of a wide range of 

enthusiastic collectors, exhibitions, and awards.

Etta's artwork is now represented by a number of galleries. In addition to these
galleries, she continues to exhibit in a select group of invitational exhibitions each year.

Paisley Place: The Sensual Side "Woodsie"

Meeting for the very first time, we had a great conversation. 

 We talked at length about our creative energy and how our brains work to 

channel our creativity. We have learned to transition our minds into another 

state of consciousness when we design. We refer to this as our “Alpha State”

to set our imagination free from distractions during the design process. 

Paisley Place: The Sensual Side  "Silhouette"

By entering into our Alpha State, we can acutely focus a higher level 

of creativity through this meditative state. Etta uses it to create her paintings 

and sculpture. I use it with my architectural design to visualize space. 

Paisley Place: The Sensual Side "The Waltz"

These deep states of consciousness are directly related to the ever-changing 

electrical, chemical, and architectural network areas of the brain.

Many have heard the terms “left brain” versus “right brain” thinking. These 
two hemispheres of the brain control our analytical and conceptual abilities respectively. This is referred to as bicameral thinking.

This theory is based on the fact that the brain is divided into two unique
hemispheres - with each side performing different functions and specialties.

This first came to light in the 1960s, thanks to the research of 
psychobiologist and Nobel Prize winner Roger W. Sperry.

For the artist in us, the theory is that we use much of our right 

brain side during the creative process. The right brain is more visual 
and intuitive. It’s sometimes referred to as the analog brain. It has a more 
creative and less structured way of thinking. It is where we derive our 
intuition, holistic thinking, imagination and visualization abilities.

Paisley Place: The Sensual Side "Liberation"

By contrast, the left brain is more verbal, analytical, and orderly 
than the right brain. It’s sometimes called the digital brain. It’s better at 
things like reading, logic, linear thinking and computation.

Our brain is such a fascinating and complex living machine. Understanding
how it works offers insight into who we are and how we think. 

Paisley Place: The Sensual Side "Pout"

Regardless if you’re working out complicated algebraic equations, 

creating environmental design or abstract art like Etta’s, both sides 

of your brain are actively participating and providing input. 

Understanding this is key to lifelong learning. It empowers us to utilize 

the brain for new discoveries yet to come and in understanding our journey 

towards deeper self-awareness, vibrancy and mental health. 

Seeing and appreciating Etta’s sensual artwork is one such marvelous discovery!

SWANK Events November '18 Features JUMO Originals Clarisse Gown - The Ultimate Sex Factor.

The key to a sexy and sultry look for this season is revealed within this 

collection by JUMO Originals called the Clarisse Gown. 

You'll love its irresistibly sensual appearance. This dress is absolute fire.

It features a cuffed single sleeve and wrapped one shoulder bodice, 

which leads your eyes down to an exposed midsection and 

daringly high outseam slit – the ultimate sex factor. 

While showing skin has always been a red carpet staple, that one flash 

of flesh is so sexy and says, “Wow! Now that’s a lot of leg!” 

This element of surprise of seeing so much skin is definitely an immediate 

way to get attention. The high-thigh slit is instantly sexy. 

June certainly got it right by counter-balancing this sexy slit design 

feature by incorporating it into a gorgeous asymmetrical silhouette. 

It is truly an outstanding and stylish piece of women's clothing. It also comes 

with color & texture changing HUDs for both it's earrings and gown - 
providing you with 12 options for the earrings and 15 for the dress.

This is certainly one very stylish piece of women's clothing. 

 I love how its flowing design transitions from its bodice to a 

sweeping floor length hem to show off your skin and glam heels. 

There is a very edgy look to this stunning gown. The slit is sexy, and it is 

great way to pull off a little sex. 

It is also perfect for the night out dancing. 

So what are you waiting for?

Go to Swank Events, get this JUMO Originals Clarisse Gown 

and then wrap yourself with its sensual luxe flair.

Bray’s Place – Bray’s Blues Club and Social Community - A Distinctive Sense of Place with Renown Class

Bray’s Place – Bray’s Blues Club and Social Community is a relatively new blues venue 

which blends great blues with that of a genuine commitment to embracing both 

friendliness and inclusiveness within its industrial tavern architectural motif. 

I went there impromptu for the first time yesterday. 

Get this, Everyone! 

After I left, Bray reached out to me personally with an IM, 
graciously thanking me for attending. 

Wow! That kind of sincere gesture caught me completely off guard.  

This was the first time (since coming into Second life over 7 years ago) that 

I ever encountered such a wonderful outreach on such a personal level. 

 I found that to be a very beautiful gesture - which spoke volumes about Bray 

and the kind of loving person she is.  

By taking the time to make that very personal connection with me, 

it left me feeling very special and appreciated.

That said, I truly see why its group membership (referred to as the “Brayniacs”) 

is exponentially growing in leaps and bounds. That genuine warmth and kindness 

in spirit coupled with her passion for the Blues will make you want to come 

back again to connect socially as well as emotionally with Bray’s Place. 

As a side note, I had been blogging for Frank’s Jazz for the past 6 years - 

donating much of my time there unconditionally with quality efforts 

to both inform and educate everyone about Frank’s venues. 

 I must say unequivocally that never once in my six years of dedication to Frank's, 

has their senior management ever showed me the kind of true class and quality of character that Bray had graced me with just yesterday. 

Needless to say, I was very impressed. 

Unlike many venues, Bray’s has a distinctive sense of place 

where people feel connected both socially and emotionally. 

Absent is the air of superficial self-righteousness, flamboyance and pompous arrogance. 

Instead, Bray’s Place is one of refreshing warmth with a true commitment 

to its fans. The regulars that I have come into contact with 

also attests to this quality of mindset and heart. 

Be mindful that this is no overnight venue. It is my understanding that Bray 

spent years working for other clubs, trying to make them better with 

devotion with unbridled passion to do things right. 

This passion has evolved to 10 music sets a day from a cadre 

of 48 DJs supported by 38 hosts with its Blues blend of gospel and 

secular pop and soul music.

Additionally, some performances do also offer a mix in genres from Latin, Reggae, 

Oldies, Rock, Celtic, Rockabilly, Bluegrass, Country, Bollywood & Gypsy. 

Whatever your music passion is, you owe it to yourself to experience Bray's Place.  

It possesses a sense of place with an atmosphere of genuine hospitality & fun.

SWANK Events November '18 Premiers the FlowerDreams Angelina Gown - Wearing This Sexy Gown Makes You Want to "Dance in the Moonlight!"

Lyrics to Toploader - Dancing in the Moonlight

"We get it on almost every night
When that moon is big and bright

It's a supernatural delight

Everybody's dancin' in the moonlight

Everybody here is out of sight
They don't bark, and they don't bite
They keep things loose, they keep 'em tight

Everybody was dancin' in the moonlight

Dancin' in the moonlight
Everybody's feelin' warm and bright
It's such a fine and natural sight

Everybody's dancin' in the moonlight

We like our fun and we never fight
You can't dance and stay uptight
It's a supernatural delight

Everybody was dancin' in the moonlight

Dancin' in the moonlight
Everybody's feelin' warm and bright
It's such a fine and natural sight

Everybody's dancin' in the moonlight

We get it on almost every night
When that moon is big and bright
It's a supernatural delight

Everybody's dancin' in the moonlight

Dancin' in the moonlight
Everybody's feelin' warm and bright
It's such a fine and natural sight

Everybody's dancin' in the moonlight

Dancin' in the moonlight
Everybody's feelin' warm and bright
It's such a fine and natural sight

Everybody's dancin' in the moonlight"

The Atlas Luxury Lounge and Steam & Sensuality Venues - Immersing Your Erotic Senses with Elegance, Class and Sophistication

In Greek Mythology, Atlas and his brother Menoetius had sided with the great Titans in 

their war against the Olympians, the Titanomachy. As it is told, the Titans were 

defeated, and many of them (including Menoetius) were confined to Tartarus. 

The God Zeus, in retribution for Atlas leading the Titans into battle, 
condemned him to stand at the western edge of Gaia (the Earth) - 

to hold up the sky on his shoulders, thus preventing 

the two from ever resuming their primordial embrace. 

He was Atlas Telamon, or ‘enduring Atlas,’ a name embodying his daily 

struggle, punishment & obsequious role in holding up the heavens. 

Atlas, although a slave to Zeus for all eternity, was known as 

being stout-hearted, strong and resilient. And, within the walls of the 

Atlas Luxury Lounge resides this same strength, obsequiousness & resiliency.

Atlas’ iconic statue at the entry is a symbolic calling to all of us - for it 

is a reminder to the Dominance or servitude we seek to imbibe.

The Atlas Luxury Lounge and Steam & Senuality Venues
is an exclusively private membership adult club. 

The theme is of modern look decadence - 

with a touch of steampunk, garnished with sophisticated, art deco 

and streamline architecture of the 1920’s 1930’s and 1940’s.

The attention to detail and quality of surroundings whispers quietly in your ear 

while you are being sensually seduced by its erotic charm. 

The superb artwork at the Atlas Lounge plays an important part of its overall theme. 

Jazz and Band Era Impressionistic paintings hang on the walls which serve to promote 

affectionate conversations in this very elegant, relaxing and seductive environment.

Members come attired in tasteful, semi-formal to formal wear. 

R & B, Jazz, along with Smooth and Big Band Era sounds resonates to 

your very soul as you experience its daringly lustful atmosphere.

This music along with the lighting, artwork, animations and spatial ambiance 

combine to instill mood, intimacy and enhancement to the romance in your life. 

For these very alluring reasons you’ll certainly want to come see 

what fate has in store for your senses at the Atlas Luxury Lounge.
