Jazz Diva

Think Billie, think Lena, think Ella... the current Singer Icon fair led to thoughts of the real Diva's that paved the way for so many of today's icons. Their timeless style and grace and incredible talent continues to inspire and they shouldn't be forgotten. 

I've tried to recreate that jazz diva feeling with ArisAris's new exuberant dress and BSD Design Studio's surreal abstract shoes from Shoetopia. My look is completed with a new shape from Baholi (all of Baholi's shapes are divas!) plus the latest gift skin from Deeesses and hair from Ploom.

Also featuring Lover Man Ravi on piano and modeling some great new releases available at Mens Dept until the end of the month.

Drama Queens

American Bazaar has been coming out with great stuff all month, but my favorite are the cool retro tops and pin-up shorts combination from the latest edition of the Boobies Show. These outfits with their various color combinations and vintage vibe are perfect for your inner bad girl and are guaranteed to bring lots of attention as you wander around the grid starting drama (see the last pic for why).

The hair here from Tableau Vivant and MONS are both gifts from Hair Fair, which ends today (or maybe tomorrow, I'm so confused). In any case, if you haven't been, rush over there before it ends for the latest releases and some amazing free stuffs (see my recent post for the gift from MiaMai).

I mentioned in my last posts featuring BSD Design Studio and Shoe Fair that there were some great things to be found there. Well the mesh platforms shown below are a free gift from Deer at Shoe Fair and come with a texture-change hud with a bazillion colors to choose from. Check out SL's top shoe designers all in one place before the event ends on July 31.
