Introducing the PINK ICE TALIA Cocktail Dress - Ideal for Those Days When You are Feeling Flirty & Playful

This Pink Ice Talia Cocktail (Babydoll) Dress is unmistakably 

in the center of the Second Life fashion spotlight this summer. 

For all of you history divas out there, you probably know that the 

origins of this dress was inspired by the babydoll nightgown.

The 1956 movie “Baby Doll” which starred Carroll Baker 

gave birth to the popularity of the babydoll nightgown. 

Although the movie was heavily censored and banned in 

many countries, the babydoll style gained momentum. 

Today, over a half century later, it is still quite fashionable.

The babydoll style has made the transition from the bedroom to 

the high fashion streets, where girls of all shapes can enjoy 

the freedom of wearing this seductive, yet playful style.

This A line dress is very feminine and ideal for those days 

when you are feeling flirty and playful. I love how this dress 

flows gracefully over your curves then flairs at the waist,  accentuating 

your best assets, like your beautiful breasts and your great pair of legs.

The one thing about this type of dress is that it can make you look either 

incredibly sexy or awfully ridiculous. 

If you have a full bosom and flat stomach, then this look 

can make you look both sweet and sexy. 

However, if you have heavy thighs, opt out for another type of dress.

This Pink Ice Talia Babydoll Dress looks stunning matching it with up with the 

Pink Ice Tasha Fishnet Heels. I gave it proper support wearing it with a pair of elegant 

back-seamed sheer black pantyhose (which I feel adds to the sophisticated look). 

I also donned this cute Pink Ice Luana Floppy Beach Hat which chic monochromatic 

stripes go stunningly well with this dress. 

I also paired it with LIKE Design Tali Gloves which comes with 

a HUD for basic color alternatives to match your mood. 

This Pink Ice Talia dress is perfect for everyday Second Life wear.

And, by adding some accessories like these KL Black Heart necklace & earring set, 

you can change it from a daytime look to a nighttime outfit in the blink of an eye. 

For fun, I also added these cute glasses to relate to my innocent bookworm persona.

Paparazzi Photos of Ms. Kenaan Spied Wearing PurpleMoon Creations Makena Blouse & Shorts - Lounging with her Casa de Bebe Tima Reef Furnishings for SWANK Events July 2017

These exclusive photos (taken by an anonymous paparazzi in a rowboat) reveals 

the famed SWANK Super Model Becky Kenaan relaxing on her private island wearing 

the Purple Moon Creations Makena Blouse & Shorts. 

Contrary to popular opinion, this secret sighting of this high-profile, 

“A” type personality Super Model confirms the rumor that 

she spends at least some of her time doing absolutely nothing. 

Ah, but looking more closely, her SL rich & famous lifestyle includes lounging around in 
her cabana enjoying the Tropical furnishings by Casa de Bebe called "Tima Reef."  

This SWANK Event's July release features a HUD driven Tima Reef Sofa and Chair, 

Draped Arbor, Driftwood Table, Faux Leopard Rug, Pineapple Candle, 

Potted Banana Tree, Ceiling Fan and Coffee Table. 

This pendant mounted Casa de Bebe five-blade tropical leaf fan gracefully revolves 
while also providing excellent yet subtle illumination for the cabana.

With a net worth of nearly $6 billion Lindens, Miss Kenaan 

can literally buy anything under the SL tropical sun. 

Ms. Kenaan spied wearing the fabulous PurpleMoon Creations Makena Blouse & Short Outfit

This is why it is no surprise that this beautiful and secluded island 

called Sunset Lover’s Retreat (which she shares with her business partner, 
Christiane Maeveen, is one of her most prized possessions. 

The PurpleMoon Creations Tropical Makena Blouse & Short Outfit comes with a menu-
driven HUD which gives you five delicious Tropical Print Color Blouse and
five Solid Color Short Color flavors to mix & match to your heart's content.

From its private mermaid lagoon to its lush and secret hidden beaches, 

this is a remarkable place they both have called their home now for 

the past 7 years. It certainly must have Robin Leach drooling.

Pampered with seemingly daily manicures and pedicures, these two women 

enjoy the art of relaxation, spending much of their SL time in 

skimpy bikinis surfing, dieting and skeet shooting 

grieffers with their security orb. 

PurpleMoon Creations Delicious Makena Blouse & Short Combo

When asked about her wild parties, she would neither confirm or deny 

as to their authenticity and instead points to her quest for world peace.

“If women didn't exist, all the money in the world would have little meaning,” 

she once stated. 

As to the poor and homeless grieffers here in SL, she was once also quoted as saying, 

“Let them all drink Carmel Moca Fappuccinos.”

LIZIAAH Island Girl Bralet & Skirt Premiers at SWANK Events July 2017

Dress up in style with this latest Liziaah (LIZ) Island Girl Bralet Top and Skater Skirt. 

It is one of three collections now being premiered at Swank Events July 2017. 

This cute skater skirt design was inspired by the figure 

skating dancers in the kitsch & funky 1980’s. 

I think that Olympic Ice-Skating is one of the most beautiful 

and ethereal events I have ever seen.

As a young girl I became so inspired watching these elegant athletes skating 

so flawlessly in these circular, flowy and pleated short skirts. 

These skirts flowed so smoothly from their waists with every move on the ice. 

Today, the skater skirt look has become a trend in its own right 

and a staple fashion choice for women.

The beauty of this outfit is how cool and easy it can look with anything. 

It can look posh and fashionable in a very glam way paired 

with classic pumps, stilettos & high heeled shoes. 

Easily dressed up or down for any season, you can add tights or keep your 

legs bare with its playful, funky bralet bikini top for a romp on the beach.

This LIZ Island Girl Outfit truly possesses a sense of multifaceted femininity 

with a carefree, playful and innocent girl look. 

It is pretty safe to say that this style has become a fashion staple.

This adorable skirt and top combo may quickly become one of your most 

flattering items in your Second Life closet.

By design, it adds curves and it enhances the appearance of long legs 

with its high waist and mini cut design.

Paisley Daisy Collared Romper Collection Now Premiering at SWANK Events July 2017

Give your love life (and your SL closet!) a much needed update 

with this Paisley Daisy Collared Romper On the Water. 

With its one-piece design, this romper is a chic alternative to a 

blouse and full skirt and can be dressed up or down. I love the 

rolled-up hem and strapped cuffs on this adorable outfit. 

Rompers (sometimes also referred to as playsuits) are a cross 

between a dress and a pair of shorts. They are the go-to play 

clothes of the 21th century. I just bet that you have one in 

your RL closet right now. 

Rompers are a trend that we just can't seem to get enough of. 

Rompers began as children's clothing in the 19th Century Victorian era. 

In many ways rompers were the first modern casual clothes for children. 

Being light & loose fitting for play and mobility, they were a major departure 

from the more restrictive clothing children wore during the Victorian period. 

While primarily a play garment, some French children also wore dressy rompers. 

The vintage playsuits of the 1940s were worn primarily outdoors – 

either at the beach to catch some sun or for sportswear. 

The main style of playsuit was a one-piece romper.

The top resembled a button-down blouse that would tuck in at the waist and 

extend into shorts, cinched or belted at the waist and separated top from bottom, 

giving it a nautical look which remained popular through the 1950s. 

Most vintage playsuits were made of cotton, although some could also be found in rayon. 

They were brightly colored and often done in patterns, checks and plaids. 

Floral & Hawaiian prints were popular towards the end of the decade. 

Fast forward, the romper is definitely back in style.  

This Paisley Daisy Collared Romper 

On the Water outfit is sure to be a hit. 

Paisley Daisy provides 3 different patterns with eye-

catching details: Collared Romper Seashells; On the Beach 

and; On the Water - which are all absolutely gorgeous! 

From this collection, I chose to wear the
Paisley Daisy Collared Romper On the Water 

to model because of this romper’s playful 

sea life creatures, colors & patterns. 

Styled correctly. you can look retro-glam pairing this 

romper with the right shoes and accessories.

Loordes of London Premeires the Coney Island Channel One Piece Swimsuit at SWANK Events July - Modesty Bottled in a Sexy Wrap

Loordes of London's Fabulous Coney Island Channel One-Piece Swimsuit (Sarong not included)

By the end of the 19th century, showing off one’s body on
the beach was considered very improper.

Women covered themselves as much as possible. Arrests were actually

made of women not wearing the proper attire on the beach.

During the early 1900's fashion shifted to bloomers — a long skirt worn over loose pants.
The skirt’s hem was about three inches above the ankle, which was still considered indecent back then. Gloves, a belt, a bathing cap and rubber shoes completed the outfit.

Back then, some beaches even had separate swim times for men and women.

Back then, dental floss bikinis and high-waist boob wraps appear non-existent. Ha!

Colored flags were posted to let you know when it was your turn to be in the water.

Women were also expected to be modest in other ways as well.

Some women even wore lead weights sewn into the hems of their

bathing dresses so the clothing would not float up when in the water.

Others went inside covered wooden frame huts called “bathing machines.”

It wasn’t until the late 1920’s when form-fitting swimsuits came into being. Women wanted their suits to be more functional and stylish – hence the one piece swimsuit emerged.

Swimsuits got smaller. Bikinis followed a decade later. Newer fabrics such as

spandex and lycra, made women’s and girls’ suits sleeker and sexier.

Today, one piece swimsuits are making a splash back in fashion. These bathing suits allow

you to go back to being a kid again, building sand castles and crashing into the sea.

Well, thanks to Loordes of London and its new Coney Island Channel One-Piece Swimsuit

release, it's no wonder bikinis seem on the wane here in Second Life.

It is not about how far your bikini bottoms ride up your ass – its more about

embodying the essence of a woman’s form with chic finesse and styling.
And, this one-piece Coney Island Channel Swimsuit does exactly that.

This swimsuit is fabulous and it will definitely make you ditch your bikini. I love the cross-laced open back and the elegant way it conforms to your body! 

And, dear great granny will thank you for it!

This package comes with very vogue matching sunglasses and sandals. I added a nice Ipanema sun hat, a short wrapped sarong and paired them with my own Maitreya compatible heels.
