Swank Events January '19 Introduces Selene Creations Shisa Jumpsuit - It possesses a very provocative, edgy and exotic look.


The history of the jumpsuit is a bit more complex than this 
Selene Creations Shisa garment may at first reveal. The jumpsuit’s early 
roots were not exactly the epitome of chic but rather more utilitarian.



Its origins began simply as an outfit for parachutists and skydivers. 
Pilots, astronauts and race car drivers followed afterwards, adopting it 
as a uniform for their professional use. The jumpsuit became 
synonymous with extremely dangerous work and sport. 

There was a lot of skepticism when the jumpsuit first began as a trend. 
The late 60’s and 70’s saw a renewed interest in the fashion jumpsuit. 



Designers such as Yves Saint-Laurent, Irene Galitzine and Norma 
Kamali began to create luxurious but comfortable jumpsuits 
which became popular with the jet set crowd.


Today the jumpsuit has made yet another fashion statement piece - 
reborn with enchanting fetish fun and flair.

This Selene Creations Shisa jumpsuit is very femme fatale in appearance. 


This type of patent leather jumpsuit is most notably worn by mysterious 
women whose seductive charms entrap their lovers - often 
leading them into compromising and dangerous situations.

She is the archetype of literature and art.  In the blockbuster movie Batman, 
Michelle Pfeiffer played Catwoman who adorned a cat-like jumpsuit - 
reborn as a whip-snapping supervillain bent on revenge with  
supernatural abilities to bewitch her victims.



Premiered at Swank Events January, there is no wonder why 
Selene Morgan has introduced this all-in-one fetish fun  Shisa Jumpsuit. 
It possesses a very provocative, edgy and exotic look. 

Dominatrix in appearance, it is at once striking, sexy and empowering.


This erotic jumpsuit is exquisitely detailed in body-belted features.  
Its leather corsetry details, laced up boots, plunging neckline, sexy flame 
armlets and shoulder drape are divine in appearance 
and perfect for your fetish roleplay fun.

Selene offers this piece in Black-Gold, Black-Blue and Black-Red. 
This Selene Creations Shisa jumpsuit fits beautifully. It is very femchic 
with very little accessory pieces needed for that special roleplay fun.

SWANK Events January '19 Premiers FlowerDreams Kumo Gown - The Art of Glamourous Fashion in Second Life



Seamlessly merging the worlds of fashion and art, FlowerDreams Kumo Gown 
reawakens a woman’s relationship with nature's biophilic beauty
 through the medium of pastel colors and refined elegance.

The progressive fashion impact of nile karas’ Kumo design is undeniable. 



While ball gowns may not come back fully into RL style in their truest sense, 
the appreciation for gown fashion as an art form here in SL has. 

This artform is expressed in the Kumo Gown Collection 
now being featured at Swank Events January. 


Nile's sculptural eye and devotion to femininity is instilled within the silhouette of 
this delicious gown with its simple elegant details and soft metallic hues. 


In addition to this elegant gown, Nile has also just released four (4) custom 
HUD Kumo Makeup applier sets to complement her six (6) Kumo gown colors 
of citron, gray, lilac, pink seagreen and white. These HUD appliers provide 
you with great options in eyelashes, eyeshadow and lipstick colors.

In my mind, Mother Earth is fragile yet resilient and self-cleansing. 
That said, this Kumo Gown has a very healing feeling and modesty about it - 
connecting back to nature with soft flowing lines and details 
which complement the grace of a woman’s form. 

Graced by Jolie’s canvas artwork, they harmoniously combine to create a 
luxurious and contemporary feel, expressing this beauty and love of nature.

Both heartwarming and vibrant, Jolie’s Art Dreams collections 
thrills my walls at my SL home with her stunning artwork.

When I show my SL home to guests, I enjoy wearing this FlowerDreams Kumo Gown.
It is the perfect gown to express my formal tastes and ambient surroundings.

--- Luxe Paris Fashion: Timeless Fashion Messaged in a Virtual Bottle ---

SWANK Events January '19 Introduces JUNA's BIBY Tattoo - Bringing Crafted Elegance into Second Life



Body art tattoos have been a form of self-expression for centuries. 

Anthropologists and archaeologists are constantly finding new evidence of body 
art dating back to the Stone Age. Ancient tattoo tools have been discovered by 
archaeologists in Portugal, France, and Scandinavia that are over 12,000 years old. 

Body art has therefore been a form of personal expression dating 
back to our primal existence in time.  The art conveys and communicates 
feelings, experiences, and ideas through the use of our bodies as the canvas. 



Today tattoos have also become more of a fashion statement. 
As a girl. I love wearing fashionable clothing and how different colors, patterns, 
and fabrics transform my look, boosting my confidence and changing my personality. 

The use of tattoos here in Second Life can certainly complement your look, 
thus becoming an integral part of your wardrobe ensemble. 

I have found that most tattoo artists possess a particular 
style in which they enjoy expressing. 


Looking at Juna’s work, she includes styles such as neo-traditional, new-skool and 
realistic tattoo styles such as this colorfully elegant Biby floral neck tattoo. 

As a creative and versatile artist, Juna’s artistic savvy combines dark imagery 
with vibrant color to create a unique and sophisticated style that is like no other. 

Juna’s artwork covers the whole spectrum, appearing equally as 
comfortable working in vivid colors as she does in blacks & grays. 


She is, however, better known for her bold and brightly colored tattoos - 
creating works of art that look as though they may jump right off of your body! 

I really love how Juna artfully composed with this Biby Tattoo creation.
I refer to it simply as "crafted elegance" by the way it graces the neck.

This feminine floral theme is happy and fresh. It comes with an applier Hud 
for your mesh Body in 3 tones (Dark 100%, Medium 75% and Light 50%) 


It also seamlessly combines in composition with an mesh head applier Hud 
in 3 tones (Dark 100%, Medium 75% and Light 50%)

SWANK Events January '19 Introduces the JUMO Fashion's Susie Dress - Its' playful look adds charm and pizazz to your conviviality!


The off-shoulder Jumo Susie Dress takes playful frocks to the next level. This 
21st century dress is simple & pretty, without being too juvenile, sexual or risqué.


The babydoll dress first began life as a short, sleeveless nightgown with an 
empire waist and a tent-like silhouette made from delicate flowing 
fabrics and then paired with matching panties. 

Its’ original design was similar to that of dresses worn by young children and 
their baby dolls which brought a certain innocent playfulness into the bedroom. 


Henceforth, the name “babydoll” came into play, parodying the 
infantilization of women dressing up as little girl dollies. 

During the 60’s, the babydoll became a revolutionary facet of the mod culture, 
representing a complete abandonment of the appropriate female stereotype. 
Self-determined fashion symbolized the epitome of the youth-quake revolution. 


After falling out of fashion for a few decades, the babydoll has since 
made an emphatic return with a chic casual & feminine look - 
attracting the millennial’s interests and fashion trends. 

This flowy Jumo Susie Dress touts puffed sleeves with ruffled cuffs, 
a strapless straight-across off-shoulder neckline, empire waistline 
and a loose-fit ruffled circle skirt with a well-above-the-knee hem. 


Its' playful look adds charm and pizazz to your conviviality! 


In addition to the JUMO Originals Susie earrings set provided, this gorgeous 
mesh outfit also comes with a color & texture HUD applier. 

This applier provides 25 different colors option grouped into three 
different texture styles for that perfect look you wish to make.

SWANK Events January '19 Showcases the YGTL Designer Nails Series - Gracing Your Hands While Complementing Your Fashion Statement




When it comes to nail art trends here in Second Life, 
YGTL is the expert on what’s hot and on trend.

The spectacular YGTL Designer Nails series is now premiering at Swank Event's.
It is exquisitely vogue, very chic and intrinsically linked to high fashion.


The YGTL Designer Nails series graces your hands while complementing 
your wardrobe appearance, no matter what the season.


Like lipstick and perfume, the art of painting nails has ancient origins. 
Nail polish originated in China as early as 3000 BC. 



In Ancient Egypt, nail polish was even used to signify class rankings: The lower 
class often wore nude and light colors, while high society painted their nails red. 


Actress Rita Hayworth popularized red nail polish. After the introduction of 
Technicolor, Rita’s bold nails catapulted the modern nail polish movement. 

Today, over $900 million dollars annually is spent on this fashion statement worldwide.


There are 13 different types of nail polish finishes. 

They include shimmer, micro-shimmer, micro-glitter, glitter, frost, lustre, 
crème, prismatic micro-glitter or shimmer, iridescent, opalescent, 
matte, duo-chrome, and translucent. 


These artfully crafted manicure gems will not only be noticed, but 
also commented on. Wearing this vogue nail art is about as classy as it can get. 


So, for that “nailicious” look, feast your diva eyes upon this YGTL color & texture HUD applier which provides you with 15 different designer nails
for that perfect statement you wish to make.

SWANK Events January '19 Premiers the SAS Crystal Black Gown - Fun, sexy, elegant and feminine all rolled into one gorgeous package.



The deep plunge backless look gets new life with SWANK Events
introduction of this SAS Crystal Black Gown. 

The look is edgy and incredibly gorgeous. Whatever the event, 
this gown will certainly deliver and bring out the woman in you. 





Whether you’re attending a ball, an elaborate charity gala,
or just going out with someone special, this backless dress 

is a figure-flattering and stylish option to consider. 

This long full length black backless gown is elegant and visually striking. 
Many guys will certainly stare at you the moment you arrive and will 
 become absolutely mesmerized by you in this stunning dress. 





Fun, sexy, elegant and feminine―these are just a few of the
adjectives that come to mind when I look at this dress. 

I love the faint gold embroidery of the bodice and how the same embroidered 
design is recalled along the hemline of this skirting. This combination 
of the black and gold really makes an eye-catching view. 


By design, this gown accentuates the femininity of a woman's figure. 
The sexy quotient of the dress runs deep into its anatomy, starting 
with its wonderful plunging sweetheart neckline. 

This showstopping number hugs your curves in all the right places - 
while beautifying your bare shoulders and letting your décolletage do the talking. 


The delicate beadwork piping and straps complement the gold swirling 
embroidery gracing the bodice and the laced hem skirting of this gown. 

To wear this particular dress for that special occasion, you will 
need to pull it together with the appropriate accessories. 
Finding the right balance is key. That said, pay heed to tiny details, 
for they will definitely add to make a stunning statement. 


Don’t go overboard with too much bling. You don’t need a lot. Just be sure not 
to under-accessorize and then find yourself left looking unfinished or overly bare. 

Behold the beauty that is yours wearing this fabulous SAS Crystal Black Gown.
