Good to be Back!

I just spent almost 2 weeks in the hospital. It was horrible. I hope I never have to do that again. I have spent the last week or so seeing different docs and adjusting meds. It has been NO fun. The whole time I just wanted to feel good enough to blog. SO....now I do...and I have been thinking and ...

5 things to pay before the money runs out

I've been quiet the past two months, which is mainly attributed to a much-needed holiday vacation and subsequent stressful getting-back-into-work period. All this is complicated by the fact that El's currently staying in the hospital, but hopefully will be out again sometime this week. Anyway, as you can imagine, there wasn't much time to do anything productive, so I don't ...

Kandy and Victory Modan

For those of you that have followed my blog for very long at all, you will know that I model hair for Ali & Alli. This CUTE little updo is one of their newest releases aptly named Kandy. When Alice gave us the hair she simply asked for "something sweet" . . .and I can see why. I LOVE the ...

3 of a Kind – Jeans

A few weeks ago, as I was looking through the feeds and flickr photostreams I came across a pic of an avi . . .just a simple pick. The picture showed an avi in casual clothes, various poses but all together and I had a thought . . .perhaps I should start a category in my blog where I shot ...

Siss Boom, Eclectica and R2 Fashion

I was going to do a Q&D for this post . . .I PROLLY should have done a Q&D (Quick and Dirty) for this post, but I once again became so enamored with it once it was done, that I just HAD to talk about it a little. There are SO many things about it that are SO pretty. It has ...

Ever an’ Angel

Don't you hate it when people aren't nice? Sometimes I wonder. Sometimes it seems like some people just want to be hateful and don't give two squats about what others want or need, or what is right or wrong. They live on the “me” level. And I find that SO disconcerting. It is NOT that I have never “visited” that ...

Donna Flora A to Z C is for Cerry

Several years ago, when I was just a little bitty avi, I stumbled upon a shop named Donna Flora. I still do not remember how I found it. It was probably through one of the numerous groups that I am a part of...always looking for a bargain. But I remember looking around and thinking that I had found THE ...

e!…Ingenue, Essences, Dark Mouse

A while back my wonderful partner, Vanish suggested that I stop making my blogs SOOOO detailed and just blog about the one or two items of each outfit that really caught my attention. That is SOOOO hard to do when there are SOOOO many pretty things just staring back at you! The funny thing about it, is that this outfit ...

2012

by V | 1 » | Dec14 11

Okay, just to get this out of my head. In 2012, the world is ending, and because every apocalyptic scenario needs Roland Emmerich to put it on screen, you'll get what you'd expect from it: Lots of cool CGI scenes, action, desaster, and the US president. Since the movie came out in 2009, I won't bother with writing the usual ...

Esther…and aDiva Couture

by El | 2 » | Dec10 11

Every time I hear the name Esther, I think of the Bible story of the beautiful Hebrew queen that risked her life for her people. It always was one of my favorite Bible stories, probably because it was one of the few that featured a beautiful queen that was not wicked or evil and she was brave to boot! And ...

Ace…and More!

by El | 0 » | Dec6 11

Today's post features new hair modeled for A&A hair called "Ace". It is a unisex hair, technically able to be worn on both men and women, but I really LOVE short sexy hair on a sweet little face....SO sexy! In addition to this edgy little hairstyle, I have to take a few moments to share with you some other great ...

Siss Boom is back!

by El | 0 » | Dec4 11

I just wanted to take a few minutes and tell everyone that Siss Boom is back, if you haven't already heard. She has been back for a while, but this is the first chance I have had to blog about it! Lestat Reuven has always been one of my favorite designers. I have blogged her several times here on TGIB....so ...
