HELLO????? SHAKA????

Yes I am here. I know its been a month since I last blogged, but don't think I have been sitting around eating bon bons and sipping champagne. I have been busy busy busy. Most of my concentration and time was spent getting ready for my winter fashion show. With the help of Joelle Mathys, Diamondz Babii and Tami Starbrook (of SHAKTURE), Shenandoan Saintlouis (my SIS), Fiyah Golding (how shall I ever repay you) and the Avenue tag team of Annette Wilder and Rusch Raymaker our first major show was a great success. Tillie Ariantho was kind enough to not only model but also take great photos of the Winter Solstice '08.

We release several new outfits at the event...

THE HARLEM VELVET HIGH WAISTED CAPRI SET
Jackie O meets Mary J in the Harlem Ensemble.... looks are deceiving. This ten item outfit with over 200 prims is the perfect match of classy and sexy. The long sleeve mink cuff top is encircled in a lush fur that acts as a halter to frame the bow Carissa scarf and the Jackie O glasses above. The high waisted trousers are a secured in the back with 4 mother of pearl buttons and finished top and along the prim cuffs with matching hems. The winter weight wool is evident in the way the slacks both look and drape. When pair together, it is definitely star time.


THE TOKYO DRIFT SKIRT SET
Welcome to Tokyo. The Drift skirt sets begin with a semi sheer tinted bottom snapped bib that is covers in an open mesh tank. The plaid skirt is two layer and draws the eye to the garter peeking out from underneath which secures via nickel plated clips the color matched hose. The set comes in 4 colors including a camo with skulls combination.


THE SUZIE LINGER SETS

Inspired by one of our Platinum Diva level clients... the Suzie Lingerie line is every bit of sexy and unique. If its "BEEN SUCH A LONG TIME THAT YOU FORGOT THAT YOU WERE FINE" then slip into one of these sets and get ready to watch jaws drop. Each bustier is not merely a color variation but a unique couture statement. Alpine Jaguar with Checkboard, Grape Jelly floral lace, Black Zebra with matching inset, Suzie Signature Hot Pink with checked straps, and the Queen of the Jungle Leopard and Cocoa. All feature ribbed bustier with with coordinating insert that is secured in the back with 5 silk loops and buttons. the Tess cut panty is overlayed with the garter halter which suspends the four silk and elastic straps that terminate at the silver plated alligator clips. The stocking is a radiating nylon semi nude rear seamed hose with textured and matched top. In a myriad of colors and prints, each one is a unique offering that mood to be explored.


THE WALL STREET
Two releases ago we entered the business couture market with our lace top high waisted Laylah set..it became an instant success. Then we raised the bar on ladies suits with the Shen collection... now we welcome the WALL STREET to the familia. Radiating sensuality is a pink silk and cotton blouse with Windsor cut collar and prim French cuffs is accessorized with cuff links and a raw silk flexi prim tie in a playful polka dot pattern. Rubbing your tummy is a high waisted wool trouser in capri length adorned with prim legs and cuffs and a eel skin belt passing through over sized loops and secured with a color matched nickle plated buckle. Each set is uniquely patterned and matched to color coordinated slacks.

NAOMI!
We conclude today with the PLATINUM DIVA COUTURE piece... the NAOMI. Leather and lace are brought together in theis one of a kind set. The top is a lace and leather striped corset with prim lacing on the back that is woven through 5 sets of nickle grommets. the hip hugger cut slacks feature a matching belt with prim buckle. To set it off we added full length laced gloves and a fur bolero jacket that creates a huge hour glass sweep. This set is not for the timid... DIVAS ONLY PEOPLE


NEW SIM and STORE...
I decided that the store need a lil freshen up. And really had quite modest plans...maybe a color change or a new floor. Well 3 days later it turned into a complete make over of the FLAGSHIP STORE and a still in progress makeover of the sim. I had no idea, but those who know me said it was inevitable as I tend to be something of a perfectionist...I have no idea where they get that from....LOL. PS We have store space available on Kemet, contact Skylar Gregory for more info


Well let me stop my rambling :) and simply say that I wish you all a safe and love filled holiday season. One that allows you best side to be shown, your greatest dreams to be your new years resolution and your heart to grow and include another person in hopes for a better tomorrow... NOW...
