SWANK Events March 2018 Premiers Letituier’s Avant-Garde Sigma Hair - Setting You Apart from the Crowd with Daring Elegance & Sophistication.



From models on the runways, those Hollywood celebrities appearing on the 
red carpets and to designers featured in magazines, Avant-Garde hair is synonymous 
with edgy couture fashion. It can be totally absurd or abstract but it is truly an art form.




Looking back to history, 18th Century Marie Antoinette was
known for her daring styles in both hair and clothing. 


The late Isabella Blow, a magazine editor and fashion scout, was famous 
for her avant-garde hair and absurd hairpieces such as her iconic lobster 
hairpiece which influenced many creative individuals.

One such individual impacted was the avant-garde pop singer Lady Gaga 
with her notorious lobster hairpiece by Philip Treacy.






50 MOST LEGENDARY HATS THROUGHOUT HISTORYLady Gaga In 



Way back in early 2010, Mother Monster went for a stroll in London wearing a diamond-encrusted lobster hat by Philip Treacy perched atop her head en route to dinner at Mr. Chow. It was a direct reference to a pink hat the milliner one designed for Grace Jones – and sparked a large number of Halloween costumes for years to come.


The words exquisite, innovative and daring all combine to define the concept of 
the Letituier brand - adding audacious sophistication to the couture fashion world. 

Letituier’s Avant-garde hair is quite daring and extraordinary.
The brand is synonymous with outrageous fashion art here in Second Life. 


The sculpted Pom-Pom Sigma Afro hairstyle is a cutting-edge hair masterpiece 
sure to satisfy any artist, fashionista or stylist here in Second Life 

I don't know how Nayomi Gartner derived these very quirky and whimsical 
hair designs, but their ostentatious yet wonderful beauty cannot be denied. 


Whether it’s a flourishing flower with braids, a recall of your astrological sign,
a bountiful bow or a beehive – Adorning the sheer artistry of Letituier’s
avant-garde hair will set you apart (as an artist) from the crowd. 

So, if you are looking to make that special statement, 
check out the fabulous hairstyles available at Letituier.

Swank Events March '18 Introduces the Glam Hollywood Art Deco Vanity Collection by Circa Design.





This Art Deco Glam Hollywood Vanity Furniture Set by Cherelle Capra of CIRCA 
is the Second Life quintessential dressing table collection of the nostalgic Art Deco Style.

The dressing or vanity table is a very interesting phenomena. Few pieces 
of furniture have revealed more about society's culture, popular taste, 
or changing social customs than that of the vanity table.


The history of the vanity began with a simple box. Since antiquity, ornate boxes 
have been crafted to hold a variety of beautifying paraphernalia - including 
cosmetic jars, flasks for rare perfumes, exotic oil containers and also tools 
such as mirrors and brushes for applying makeup. 


However, it wasn't until the late 17th century in Europe that the form of 
the vanity as we know it today emerged. During this time, European high society began commissioning luxurious specialized furniture from craftsmen and furniture makers. 

Then in America during the 19th century, vanity tables reflected the revivalist styles 
which included Gothic, Elizabethan, Rococo, Renaissance, and Colonial. It was during this 
time period that the vanity table became an integral part of the bedroom environment.


Hollywood films of the 1920s and 1930s embraced the Art Deco Movement - 
which associated the modern concept of glamour and luxury with that of vanity table.


The Norman Bel Geddes’ enamel and chrome-plated steel dressing table
(circa 1932) is a model example of this sophisticated Art Deco style.

As part of CIRCA's growing collection of vanities, the "Glam Hollywood"
vanity set pays wonderful tribute to this magical Art Deco Style. 


This compact, glamorous & exquisitely detailed set comes with several pieces - 
each piece meticulously crafted and detailed, creating the overall 
composition of pure decadent and indulgent luxury.

This looks relatively tidy compared to my RL Shoe Rack!

In the collection there are two vanity table and seat coloration sets, a clothing roller hung clothing rack and curtains in three different textures to match your decor preferences. 


The vanity table comes with all kinds of small beauty sets to display on your table, 
along with a matching mirror and seat (with HUD driven texture change options). 


The seats come with 36 beauty & sit animations, including auto hand props to 
match the beautiful and fun animations when utilized. One vanity seat features 
classic patterns & colours, while an alternative version offers designs with 
shell patterns in mermaid colours.
  
I LOVE the Flower Vase! Just touch it to change your Flower Color Fetishes

This set is perfect for boudoir rooms, bedrooms or even full bathroom setups. 

So ladies, what the heck are you waiting for?  Go powder your noses
and get that derriere of yours over to this wonderful SWANK Event!

SWANK Events March 2018 Premiers the LUXE Paris Melody Gown in Green - A Walk Down Hollywood Glamour's Yellow Brick Road in the Wizard of Oz




The architecture of the OZ Nightclub at Calas Galadhon Park 
in Second Life exemplifies the art deco movement in the late 1930s. 

 It also pays a wonderful tribute to the Hollywood Glamour of the 1930's.



The 1939 MGM musical movie "The Wizard of Oz" was cleverly filmed in
both black/white and Technicolor, revealing the splendor of its stage 
sets, the story tale regions and costumes used in its filming.

The magic of this quintessential musical movie served as the 
inspiration for the OZ Nightclub in Second Life created in May of 2012 
by Ty Tenk and Truck Meredith, the creators of Calas Galadhon Park.


This Luxe Paris Melody Gown in Green captures the Epic Silverscreen's magic 
with its vibrant shades of emerald greens and contrasting black accenting. 




Emerald City is the capital city in the magical Land of OZ. 
Its majesty stands in the very center of Oz.


The use of color helped to define for its actors the tale of 
Dorothy, the Tin Woodmen, the Scarecrow and the Cowardly Lion 
along with a host of other characters in the Land of OZ.


These same brilliant emerald green and black colors follow the same principles 
of color theory so richly captured in both the movie and the OZ Nightclub.


And, to express both the magic and the color of Dorothy's  ruby red shoes, 
I painted my lips in enamored ruby red provided by Stephanie Fishnet of AVADA.


The wonderful use of emerald greens and blacks
on this Luxe Paris Melody Gown defines it as 
something magically special, beautiful and unique.


I could not think of a more appropriate place to model this gown to 
complement the hollywood glamour, splendor and magic of the OZ Nightclub.


For just like the fabled musical movie and the OZ Nightclub, 
this Luxe Paris Melody Gown also brings magic to the Second Life experience.

Swank Events March 2018 Premiers LIZIAAH's Glam Gown in Blush - Striking Form Follows Function Sexy Appearance.


As French fashion designer Hubert de Givenchy once said, "The dress must 
follow the body of a woman, not the body following the shape of the dress."


Statuesque and lovely, this LIZ Glam Gown (in blush) does exactly that. 
This formal gown is a bit outside the boundaries of the mainstream, 
since it may be considered something that feels bravely bold to wear. 


However, the exquisite design of this dress exemplifies the first rule of 
architecture with its striking form follows function sexy appearance. 

From every angle, its a toxic killer of a dress intended to rock your man's world.


A gown of this nature makes a fierce statement with its deep plunging 
neckline and metal-studded leafed black cups held delicately in
place by a very sensuous halter strap.

The studded band of its bodice certainly creates a stunning,
jaw-dropping transition at its empire waist.


It is a gorgeous cut that puts the waistband right below the
bust, complemented by the studwork that flatters
and emphasizes the decolletage.

Without a doubt this LIZ Glam Gown (in blush) is one of the
sexiest of all mermaid dress silhouettes.


Its curve-hugging shape is guaranteed to take your man’s breath away.
It's the sensual style for the sensual you.

Swank Events March "Hollywood Glamour" Theme Features Pink Magic's Backdrop Hollywood - How to Enhance Your "Big Fashion Thing" (BFT)




When the glamorous Stars of the Hollywood movie industry step out of
their limousines and make their way into the Academy Awards Oscar event 
it is known in the fashion world as the "Big Fashion Thing" (BFT).


This famous and much-hyped red carpet BFT is the pregame show which
depicts physically fit and insanely attractive A-List celebrities flaunting
their fabulous hairstyles, ball gowns, and beautiful makeup. 


This red carpet show is a guide to the latest Hollywood fashion styles - 
all choreographed with great lighting, fanfare and romantic shuffling.

LUXE Paris N2U2 Mini Dress in Red

But for all the star quality brought to the red carpet by the likes of Ciara, 
Rita Ora and Kendall Jenner, today's Hollywood pales by comparison to the 
enduring icons of the Golden Age. Actresses such as Vivien Leigh and 
Olivia de Havilland showed the A-Listers how it should be done.

Looking back to the Golden Age of Hollywood, the early red carpets
were laid down as a way to guide the stars into a movie house or theater. 




This display by Pink Magic called "Backdrop Hollywood," captures the essence of 
a Hollywood Red Carpet Event with its red, black and gold glimmering 
Deco backdrop flanked by searchlights and potted palm trees.

In as much as I love the fashion statements that I see on Oscar Night, 
I believe that the Hollywood Entertainment Industry has veered away 
from the magic of Hollywood by being distracted by its politics

NO!  This is NOT my Limo! LOL

It is no wonder why the Academy Award Night's ratings have fallen significantly. 

I look forward to the Academy focusing back on the beauty, glamour and sophistication 
that it once represented - rather than obscured by bias and reduced from BFT to no BFD.

SWANK Events March 2018 Introduces the Luxe Paris Celebrity Mini - "Respect the Banana - Your Body Deserves One"


The banana is a miracle of nature. It is colorful, nutritious and cherished by monkeys, Ha!

Seriously speaking, the banana is important to many areas of the world, 
where different parts of the plant are used for clothing, paper and tableware, 
and where the fruit itself is an essential dietary staple.

Respect the Banana - Your Body Deserves One...LOL

The origins of the banana grew out of an intensive and prolonged process of selective breeding.  It originated from the mismatched pairing of two South Asian 
wild plant species - the Musa Acuminata and Musa Balbisiana.


Arab traders later carried this new fruit to Africa, and then Portuguese 

sailors relayed them to the Americas. Thus the tasty new 
banana eventually made its way to all of our supermarkets. 



I also see a correlation between the banana and the Luxe Paris Celebrity Mini.

It can be summed up in a single word: sex. 


"Is That a Banana in Your Pocket or Are You Just Happy to See Me?"  (Mae West)

The phallic shape of banana also makes it a very suggestive food. 
However, the aphrodisiac effect of the banana is not just limited to its shape. 

Did you know that it is rich in nutrients that help produce 
sexual hormones and also enhances the libido? 

This Luxe Paris Celebrity Mini (in Banana) oozes with lots of Sex-a-Peel.

It also regulates the secretion of serotonin which is known to be 

responsible for the euphoric feeling after intercourse. It is no wonder 
why Luxe Paris Fashion created this sensual masterpiece.




From its sweetheart neckline, underwire supported cups,  ruffled sleeves, gorgeous 
laced open back and then down to its skimpy hem - this Luxe Paris Celebrity Mini  
will have that big ape of yours begging for more of your fruit.





The color yellow also inspires a happy, fun, and very playful mood. It empowers you 
to lift up everyone around you. It encourages interaction (and flirtation).



If you wear yellow, you are probably spirited, always laughing, and undeniably feminine. 
Wearing a yellow dress suggests that you are an active, creative, and exciting woman. 



This color also promotes intelligence which attracts men. It also improves concentration 
(which is why we see this color used on legal notepads and highlighters, etc.). 

So girls, do you have the daring to wear such a hot mini?  If you do, talk to Paris 
at Luxe Paris and please buy only one - not a bushel (for supplies are limited).  



Please also read the aphrodisiac warning label 
sewn into the back of this dress before you wear it.
