Hi Natty! How are you? Are you excited? 2021 is over! It's been a wild and wacky year, hasn't it Honey? I'm still trying to get over Valentine's Day. Actually, I'm not excited at all. It's all pretty much run-of-the-mill to me. Now, a shopping spree... that would certainly be fun. I was over at InStyle last night, there seemed to be a section on convertibles. I saw a couple of things that are nice, not necessarily in its convertible state:
Let's get married, Natty! Oh by the way, it's Christmas! On December 31! What, we can't have Christmas on New Year's Eve? Why not? The credits for Mary's outfit today are:
Hi Natty! What's going on? Keeping busy? I hope you are having a great time over there. Please take care of your health and safety. Oh wow! 2021 is over! What's next? By now, everyone is feeling it. "It". I've been feeling it for a long time already, so it's nothing new to me. It would be nice to get paid for a change.
I never thought Vanity Fair to be a fashion magazine. But when I Googled "fashion magazine", Vanity Fair came up. So I thought I would pay them a visit. It turns out they had a nice section on New Year's Eve party wear. Nothing any normal person could wear everyday. Someone like Mary could wear that stuff everyday. Except that she has thousands of outfits. She has yet to go through one revolution of her entire wardrobe. That's my work there, I'm the one who did the collecting and I'm the one who dresses up her avatar. Over 40 years of Rock and Roll business experience! Mary used to have some say in what she has to wear, until she decided to receive gifts from perverts. She's too nice, but no more of that. I decide what she wears. Anyway, here's what I found at Vanity Fair:
Paco Rabanne 1969 Sparkle Shoulder Bag
Halpern Sequin V Neck Mini Dress:
Alice + Olivia Contessa Embellished Minidress:
Mary's outfit today could be that flashy everyday. But today, it's another one of those dresses where the template is floating around freely on Marketplace. So many different merchants are selling this same design at different prices, and I'm pretty sure I have duplicates of this same dress in the inventory. I suppose it could be a "normal" dress, but it is the kind of dress that suits Mary, who she is and what she does. I would call this the "Victoria's Secret look". Hm. Even though it's not a fashion magazine, perhaps I should take a look at the Victoria's Secret catalog. I sure hope the models aren't fat.
104. Know they not that Allah does accept repentance from God's votaries and receives their gifts of charity, and that Allah is God, the Oft-Returning, Most Merciful?
105. And say, "Work: soon will Allah observe your work, and God's messenger, and the believers. Soon will you be brought back to the Knower of what is hidden and what is open, then will God show you the truth of all that you did."
Natty, you are such a beauty. Slim, elegant and absolutely stunning. I love your nose, it's positively regal. I love you, Natty. Where are you now, Honey? I don't see any snow nor evergreens, so I assume you're back in SoCal. Ready to get back to work?
Allure magazine first came out when I was a 20-something musician back in 1990-something. I remember I was buying a lot of fashion magazines back then, and cutting out and pasting pictures of models and female celebrities to entirely cover my bedroom wall. Lately, models have become fat. Too thin isn't good, but going the other direction is just as bad. Clothes can be altered, but the role model should be balance, strength and good health. Anyway, I went to Allure last night and it wasn't a fashion magazine anymore. It has become more of a horoscope magazine. There was a fashion section, but that was actually a link to Vogue Fall 2021 Fashion Trends. So I found a few interesting things at Vogue:
Victor Glemaud color-blocked polo
Christopher John Rogers color-blocked ribbed-knit sweater
Stella McCartney Milly sequined minidress

P.S. How do you like my language for today's post? I wanted to be more blunt, but I guess I restrained myself. **sigh**
Hi Natty! Oh, did you have something to say? I'm sure you have plenty of friends and family available to express yourself to. Did you want to talk about fashion? Honey, you are a model and you have your own Instagram. You should post all things fashion all the time. I believe I told you to do this years ago, but you didn't do it. People may think that you don't have much interest in fashion anymore. Did you want to talk to me about something? I did send you my e-mail, did you get that? I'll send it again after I post this, all you have to do is click reply. On the condition that if you e-mailed me, then it's just between the two of us and no one else.
I had an ice cream cone this evening and now I want more, but my stomach can't handle it. Anyway, I went to Marie Claire last night and found a nice faux fur jacket:
Mary's outfit today is head-to-toe grey, with a touch of white. The credits are:
94. They will present their excuses to you when you return to them. Say, "Present no excuses, we shall not believe you: Allah has already informed us of the true state of matters concerning you. It is your actions that Allah and God's messenger will observe, in the end you will be brought back to God Who knows what is hidden and what is open, then God will show you the truth of all that you did."
Hi Natty! How are you? You are probably getting back into the swing of things after your long holiday. I don't take holidays, but as long as I don't have to do a lot of labor then that's fine with me. Today is Monday over here. I cleaned the fridge, bathroom and toilet in the morning, then I had takeout rice lunch. I did some burning in the evening, then bought dinner at the night market. I also got some raw fish sausage, and boy does that stuff smell. It smells like heaven to cats though, and Adolf Kitler was bugging me for snacks. I had to smack him with the pooper scooper so he would leave my feet alone so I could clean the litter box.
I went to Harper's last night, and found gorgeous pink heels by Versace. Nice, huh? Anyway the credits for Mary's "golden referee" look are:
ELIKATIRA Orra hair

Most of the clothing are system layers, which are known now as BOM or Bakes On Mesh. This means like the clothes are like body paint. People generally think that mesh clothes are higher in quality, but BOM can be high quality too. With both, it depends on how much effort and love the creators put into the apparel. The outfit is actually a dress. Back in the day, designers put a primitive panel between the legs to complete the mini skirt. I didn't add that part because it looked awful, so in effect Mary's avatar is wearing short shorts.
81. Those who were left behind rejoiced in their inaction behind the back of the messenger of Allah, they hated to strive and fight with their goods and their persons in the cause of Allah, they said, "Go not forth in the heat." Say, "The fire of hell is fiercer in heat." If they only could understand!
82. Let them laugh a little, much will they weep: a recompense for that that they do.
83. If then Allah brings you back to any one of them and they ask your permission to come out, say, "Never shall you come out with me, nor fight an enemy with me, for you preferred to sit inactive on the first occasion, then sit you with those who lag behind."
84. Nor do you ever pray for any one of them that dies, nor stand at his grave, for they rejected Allah and God's messenger, and died in a state of perverse rebellion.
Hi Natty! Did you enjoy your Christmas? Did you enjoy pointing that sausage dog's pee pee at the world? I'm sure you did. Oh, you didn't take any snapshots of dinner! Nothing special on the menu here today. I had takeout rice for lunch. My brother gave me some pasta and sauce, so I cooked that up for dinner. The local supermarket is making its own pasta sauce. It's not bad, but I like my own sauces better. The locals here are really getting into pasta, I'm seeing it on store shelves everywhere. I don't think they know how to handle pasta though, because I don't see any hawkers selling it. The pasta I got is angel hair. I don't like angel hair, I prefer plain old spaghetti. I guess I'm just Joe Average. When I was at the pizza joint, the patrons would quaff down copious amounts of angel hair pasta, usually with pesto. Hm, I think I'll make pesto someday. Hey Gordon, only an amateur adds oil and salt to the pasta water!
I went over to Elle last night, but I didn't see anything good. I don't spend a lot of time trawling the fashion magazines. If nothing caught my eye in 5 minutes, I give up and go somewhere else the next day. I get bored easily, plus I have other stuff to do. No, I don't only like mini skirts and dresses for Mary's avatar! I actually have design credits today, I'll try to be consistent in putting the credits up. InshaAllah.
I hope you are having a marvelous day. I love you!
Oh, I forgot Mary's shoes today! That's the trouble with gowns, I can't see the feet because of the long skirt. But I did see some nice boots over at Vogue! I think they would look great with any gown...
Don't worry folks, I put some shoes on her before today's show. Here they are, just to show you:
Cute, huh? Those are Linda pumps by PurePoison. Oh, I forgot who the gown is from. I guess I should remember these things, but alas I am not being motivated by payment. It is a beautiful gown, though.
That chest piece is what you would call a "primitive", meaning that you would build it the same way as you would build a house in Second Life. I suppose you could also import it from a 3D draw program. The sheer parts of the skirt are called "flexi panels". I think you build them like primitives, but they bend according to motion and gravity. Flexi doesn't behave like real cloth, though. Realistic cloth physics do exist in games, for example the Street Fighter game below, but not yet in Second Life. Not because it's not possible, but because people are too lazy to program it. I guess like me, they need to be motivated with payment.
