achariya's birthday party

Originally uploaded by al-zahra

it is not every day that a party like this happens. i'd also never really been to a full on japanese themed party, at least not with fashion folk. i was really beside myself with what to wear. i nearly wore my meiji schoolgirl outfit, but at the last minute decided to wear my gothic oiran outfit instead.

the garden itself is quite lovely. we appeared to be dancing on water. i knew very few people there, though everyone was quite kind to me.

achariya wore a sweetaholic wa-loli, with what looked like sinistyle boots and bp hair. her obi was a spotted leopard skin.

momo did the honors as dj, and she wore a nonko kimono, i think the cage one i believe. it is a long black furisode with white images of a young girl. she was wearing a really distinctive hairstyle with it as well, without the bow.

diana wore i think a latex kimono by ookami ningen. i just missed munchflower, who looked so cool--she was wearing mickey mouse ears and looked so dark.

there were others who looked really distinctive. i think it was sakuradawn who was wearing a very unusual outfit, very cool and different. kat was so very nice to me as always, and she wore an adorable pink outfift.

i do not know hya very well at all, but she was impressively elegant, and so i admired her from afar.

it is trying at these things because i never know whether to say hello even if i have never met them before.....

but all in all it was something to remember....

the fashion olympics; or what i wore to grady and momo's party

i had originally posted this in december, because following my custom, i'd never worn it "out" and kept this as a reminder, because after a week one forgets what an outfit looks like when it's just a list in inventory.

it is an amusing fact, that for grady and momo's party, which ranks as the SL fashion olympics, while everyone fretted over their outfits, and even i went on a massive binge, what i ended up wearing was this outfit. i found a set of plaid fans to go with it, which was pretty cool.

i adore goth loli, and count myself as one of its most devoted adherents, and wa-loli as well. this seemed to be a mix of it. i also wore it for sentimental reasons.

it was a spectacular party, with many luminaries in attendance. Of the people i remember there were:
Lucifer & Io, incognito,Rev & Munch,IsaDaft, Cristiano,Gabe, Zorena & Lance, Kavik, Tya, Envoy, Willow,Fmeh, Dancien and Spooky, Ash, Arilynn,Vertigo,Beezle & Titter, Rev, Affinity, Beebo, Lum, Moo, Troy, Vares, Willow, Aki, Aisuru, Ramonna......tons more but they all elude me at the moment.

The chief ornaments i thought of course were the two birthday girls. Grady wore her outfit from the Hello Avatar post, a killer blend of the Brood outfit, with bax boots and wilted wednesday collar. Momo wore a net top with a bra under, a flounced asymmetrical skirt, combat boots, bracers, with black hair and her fairy ears.

Isa was distinguished by the beauty and brevity of her costume. Monna too stood out in my memory because she appeared blonde and in pink, which suits her well although it is not her usual look, actually. She danced skyclad later, with her flowing hair and tattoos reminding me very much of a druidess. of the men Envoy appeared in the most extraordinary outfit in my estimation, in a sort of liberace in a space opera outfit. it is late and I will try to describe it but it is hard because it had an amazing level of detail. He wore a long figured gold cloak, with a long collar, sort of winglike. There were gyroscopes (I think) arranged around him. Vertigo also impressed me because her avatar was anime-like, and tiny, in purples.
