Christmas according to Simone

 As you travel around the grid, you cannot help but notice that Christmas time is on the way!  The tropical beaches are making way for winter wonderlands and palm trees are replaced by Christmas trees.  Time to forget the cocktails for a while and sit at the fireplace with a hot chocolate!

The shops and designers are preparing their season collections.  And so is Simone Stern.  As a present she gave me her new Christmas creations.  It is a big collection, in the traditional colors of red, green, white and black.  But also some surprising pastels and purple.  The red line through all are the fur and bows, they make the look rich and can be detached easily in such a way that a good wearable outfit is still there.  The collection is sweet and naughty at the same time and reminded me of Christmas pin-ups from the 50’s, naughty with a wink, but always sexy. Of course this collection has all that Simone! normally brings, high quality, detailed textures and all items in all layers.  And a nice plus, the outfits are very reasonable priced (200LD).

Let it snow,  let it snow,  let it snow!

When I first came into Second Life, I became intrigued with it’s clothing  fashion and all aspects of it.  At first I didn’t know where to turn to find good clothing or how to make my avatar look human and beautiful and well coiffured.  I did find a wonderful woman HoneyBear Lillihook, who took me under wing and helped me.  To this day we are still best of friends.  She is now the person I have known the longest in Second Life.

Honey showed me how to find good clothing and shoes and helped me with designers.  The first pair of boots that I saw on a woman that really stood out to me I fell in love with.  I IM’d the woman and asked her if she would please tell me where she got her boots and she sent me a landmark for Bax Boots.  At that moment I rushed over to the main store and bought my first pair, that has been a year now.  I still love them as much as when I first ever spotted them being worn.  Still in my mind, no other boot out there compares to the all over design and quality of the Bax Boot.
