Acceptable in the Eighties…

There is a rule in fashion which dictates that if you remember wearing a trend when it was first in fashion, you shouldn’t be wearing it next time around. Well I don’t mind admitting that I’m a child of the eighties and I do remember wearing the current fashions when they weren’t retro. I also won’t hold back in confessing that I’m not one for following rules in RL or SL and revel in being a fashion rebel.  One of the wonderful things about SL is that it gives us the opportunity to experiment with fashion, so if you like the style why not check out some of the SL Fashion Designers that are championing the return of the eighties. These include Fab.Pony, Emery, Maitreya, MG Fashion and Mirai Style plus Pretties by JB who has released today the pieces I’ve featured in this post.

Thank You CaLLie!…

I’m sure that all regular blog readers will now be aware that last week, us bloggers were thoroughly spoilt with gifts so generously donated by a host of fabulous designers.  What some of you may not know, is that the week would never have come about or been as successful and so much fun, without the wonderful CaLLie CLine. Not only did CaLLie conceive the idea of Bloggers’ Appreciation Week, but she orchestrated the event and was responsible for getting designers on board to support it.

I know very little about CaLLie, only that she is a prominent figure in SL, has a reputation for helping out where it is required, and is a great fashion designer. However, through the notecards and chats I’ve been a part of this week, it is clear to see that CaLLie is just an all round nice gal. I like her style (and I’m not just speaking of her fashion label here). She approaches the game with maturity, fun and such a generous and warm spirit.

Today is officially CaLLie CLine Appreciation Day as declared by the Fashion Bloggers Group of which I am proud to be a member. Thanks to TearSong Vaughan, fellow blogger, for coming up with the suggestion. It’s a chance for us to say ‘thank you so much CaLLie!’; it was so very nice to be appreciated and we are all very grateful to you.
