Beautiful Monster...

"In her eyes there's love and fire
In my heart she's burning through
But I don't mind, in fact I like it
Though I'm terrified, I'm turned on & scared of you...
She's a monster
Beautiful monster
Beautiful monster but I don't mind
And I need her
Said I NEED her
Beautiful monster but I don't mind..."

"Beautiful Monster" by Ne-Yo

The genius of Sissy Pessoa isn't raved about nearly enough. Baiastice owns a permanent place in my TOP FIVE SL FASHION HOUSES OF ALL TIME. Yeah I said it. The pieces that Sissy produces are timeless. She's a designer with an impeccable eye for detail, which is obvious in everything that she makes. The formal wear is always stunningly elegant. The ready-to-wear is tailored and polished. She leaves no stone unturned when it comes to the fit. The color stories. The movement. Her brand is full of pieces that can be described as both classic and fashion-forward, appropriate for both conservative ladies and modern fashionistas alike. And her in-world group is one of the best on the grid: We receive totally free EXCLUSIVE gifts monthly that aren't available for sale. Send her a notecard with your name and interest in joining and she'll add you right away. Sissy's truly beautiful both inside and out; she's very generous and kind and down-to-earth. If you've never been to Baiastice, don't walk-RUN there. And if you're familiar with the brand but haven't visited lately, go get reacquainted: She's just released part 2 of her MONSTER FAB winter collection...

Early Winter...

"It's sad the map of the world is on you
The moon gravitates around you
The seasons escape you...
And I always was one for crying
I always was one for tears
No I never was one for lying
You've lied to me all of these years
The sun's getting cold it's snowing
Looks like an early winter for us..."

"Early Winter" by Gwen Stefani

I'm born and bred in the midwest, and anybody who's lived or spent time here knows that this time of year it's COLD. And not that California/Florida whiney 50 degree cold either. I'm talking I woke up this morning to 7 degrees. Needless to say, beautiful outerwear is essential for me in both worlds.The Long Cardi in Brown by {SMS} is my latest addiction. It couldn't be more perfect and I'm having a hard time taking it off. Everything from the collar to the sleeves, the length and the texture-this is the most gorgeous cardigan in SL. If you dig it like I do, then you better grab it fast: it's limited edition and only available until the 9th of December...
