FASHION FLARE WITH STARBRIGHT WONDER




I had the wonderful pleasure to see Starbright Wonders fashion show on Saturday afternoon. Her designs are highly detailed and envelop you in fabric that can transition from summer to fall! Let’s talk a walk down the catwalk and explore her beautiful line of clothing:
Starbright draws her inspiration draws her from her surroundings and friends that she cherishes.  Her ideas come quickly and “can also be something as cool as a sim I find, and I just want to make an outfit that fits there.”  This collection has all of that!









Our first model is Resmay Bloodstorm in a retro age suit characterized by chic vintage leg cuts and a gathered bodice that creates a sweetheart shape. The stretch fabric makes it extremely versatile in its applications with a firm but stretchy texture.  So once water hits it, there is no saggy areas. Perfect attire for swimming. In this outfit you will be as bright as the summer flowers along the countryside.  











Next up, is Kim wearing Luna Splash! The crisscrossed patter on the front of this suit gives the hint of a bikini while preserving the one piece look.   The Crossover panels lend a wrapped effect to this off-shoulder swimwear bikini showing off every curve nicely.   The Matching bottoms can be worn in either high-waisted or low-rise and gives a unique look either way. The only thing bluer than this beautiful outfit will be the ocean itself.
Lady Elana has one of the lovely CrissCross swimsuits. This swimsuit is in  green and is called hemp.
Double-layered, the pieces can be worn both as a swimsuit and as a fashion item combined with skirts or trousers etc. This outfit proves that Green isn't just for spring time, but for anytime.












Foxie struts her stuff in this Fully Lined , elastic through the back suit that  adds additional support for this strapless suit look. Moderate coverage makes this 'One Piece  Strapless' with a gold skull is irresistible. She looks amazing and will definitely turn heads!  If you are looking for a swimsuit that says: "stylish, yet I'm a little bit dangerous," then this is the swimsuit for you!



Liberty Lighthouse to the runway wearing the Ema Peacock Dress. The dress is form fitting in a beautiful green. Perfect for a summer night dinner or a Fall brunch. The dress is sleeveless with a high T-neck collar which you can accessorize  with a scarf or your favorite jewelry. Sexy and classy says it all with this lovely dress.
Casie is wearing the famous Marilyn Monroe dress. You can't get more inspired than this little number! This dress has spaghetti straps, a mid-length hem, and flowing skirt with a print that is perfect for Fall.   The beautiful image of Marilyn on the print will give any lady the ability to exude confidence just like the actress herself.   Just like Marily Monroe you will think that Diamonds are forever as you wear this outfit.   











QueenBrat has on Dani Pinstripes two piece outfit. The tops is a strapless bra with pretty white lace under the bust. The skirt is worn on the hips and also has white lace  on the hem. Perfect for a date out on the town because she will feel so sexy and gorgeous in this outfit! Be Careful to not be caught staring to hard, because you can barely take your eyes off of her in this outfit!



Resmay and she is wearing the Simple Classic Black Dots dress. 
This one pencil straight line chiffon skirt dress that is so pretty and flattering! It's fully lined with a semi-sheer chiffon overlay covered in adorable polka dots!  The modest skirt is slightly above the knee-length. The flat front waistline looks great with a tucked-in blouse, and the back waistline has stretch elastic for the perfect fit. Slip-on style, no zipper. That is perfection!









Kimberly sports a delightful interpretation of the "little black dress" that every woman should own, just this one happens to be in purple. This ultra-soft crushed velvet features tone on tone design  with spaghetti straps, a deep V-neck creates a sweetheart bodice with a  stretchy low back and zipper at back.   This outfit with its night sky look will have everyone wondering if their dreams will come true.   










You'll see Lady Elana again in the next flare of beauty from the orient in the May Kimono. This is denoted as a dress, but can easily be paired with pants to create a more conservative outfit! Stylish with its black and red design and wide cummerbund, this is suited both for casual or dress-up wear and is perfect for any season with black slacks or skirt. Sexy, beautiful, and exotic describes this outfit to perfection.


Foxie is in a mermaid silhouette dress of green. Designed to impress, this dress features an open abdomen below the bodice. With the belly button visible, it makes for a very tantalizing look. Thin straps, princess seams, and bold styling makes this a must for your wardrobe. There are some dresses that just recall all those places that drives a person wild, and this dress is one of them.

Liberty Lighthouse wearing the Amber Black Flowers Gown. This gown is simply gorgeous sporting Spaghetti straps and a form fitting top with a flowing skirt. The dress is black with a beautiful flower texture giving you so many options with the dress! Casual or Elegant you will feel amazing in this gown. No matter if you dress it up or down you will feel like an elegant lady in this heavenly gown!

Casi shows off the Amber Smoke Gown.   The gown has hues of black, green and white with a silver belt, and just demands attention wherever you go. With a flowing skirt and sexy low-cut back, this gown reveals just enough to capture everyone’s attention!


Last but certainly not least, we have QueenBrat back wearing the Fairytale Waves Gown.  This gown is stunning with its sweetheart neckline. Pile on the jewelry and accessorize at will when you step out with this hot number on your body! The skirt flows with a printed blue hue that draws the eyes to all the right spots! Any woman wearing this dress will be the princess in a fairy tale!



















The models were wearing their own hair, jewelry, and other accessories, so I could give credit for all those items!

To get to know our designer a bit better I asked a few questions and requested her to write up a small bio with the answers.  Here is that bio from the fabulous designer Starbright Wonder:
" Hmm things that inspire me, well honestly that depends on the day.  Many of my friends inspire my outfits, but it can also be something as cool as a sim i find, and i just want to make an outfit that fits there.  It could be an event that my friend Roxy's, as well. It quite literally could be anything.

I got started making clothes when i started in 2009, but I got distracted as most do and didn't like how things were turning out.  However I decided to restart this year and I am letting my love of fashion i have had since a kid where I sketched clothes on sheets of paper for my dolls inspire me.

I feel that if you have been in sl long enough that you try everything once, and then you find what you really like and go back to it, and now i have finally found what inspires me.  With the support of my family and friends, I have finally found what will keep me going.
Starbright Wonder."

My Wayfaring Ways: THAT'S NOT THE ALICE I REMEMBER!

So, what do you like about Alice's Adventures in Wonderland? Alice, the Madhatter, the Rabbit with his old style pocket-watch, the Jabberwocky, the Queen screaming "off with your head!" All these and more images popped into my head and made me smile fondly at how my imagination sucked up every word written by Lewis Carroll.
As I searched for Wonderland adventures in the Destination guide, I reflected how I should reread those popular tales of Alice. I was ready for an adventure and to see how the imagination of SL builders portrayed and bought Carroll's story to life.
My first trek was to Dysphoria This sim has been around for a few years, so I was curious to see what I would find.  The atmosphere is dark and brooding when you first step up to the Rabbit Hole.





I was excited to take the leap into the rabbit hole. The plunge down to the bottom was exhilarating.
The little trip is not too long and you don't have to sit....you just walk right into the hole! That little feature may seem small, but you really don't need any animations to stumble into a hole!

 Upon arriving, the room opened up into a large area that portrayed the huge checkered floor and antique wallpaper that is so much like my memories of Wonderland! The big inviting table with just an old skeleton key perched way up high on it's glass face and the small vial of liquid and the cake tempted me! To eat or to drink? The size of the room made me feel so tiny just like Alice was.
My mind smiled with reflections of all my childhood memories. I could almost smell the wonderful pages of the book as I looked around. But...and oh so sadly, there is a fee to explore further.  A little more than $1.00 in RL, the sim charges $200L to join the group Dysphoria.  Because I wanted to give this sim a fair shake and explore the area, I did pay the join fee. Now with that done, I crawled into the little door that would lead me to another dimension!

This sim grew into a heavily wooded and dark atmosphere immediately. I was alarmed but inquisitive to see how this creator interpreted Carroll's world.  Although dark and gloomy, the sim was done up with great colors and a few highlights of animate objects. Right away I stumbled upon the Cheshire cat grinning at me from afar.  
 There was a great deal of just walking and exploring.  This is very characteristic of how Alice stumbled along her many adventures. I kept a good look out for wordly interations, but did not find too many. The thought that I paid for such an excursion over ran the attempted design trying to be reached in Dysphoria.  My travel through the sim lead me to various settings of the Mad Hatter's table, a large rabbit with a twitching nose, and structures of the Queen's palace.  I was hoping that I might have to run away from the Jabberwocky, but alas, I only met up with some moaning ghosts.  The forest turned into more of a Halloween debacle with little pit stops of Wonderland-like furniture from point to point.  That is when I became disappointed and finished my tour of the sim.  With an asking fee, I found that I was very disenchanted and desperately searched for anything that might sway me from wondering why the sim had not been updated to match all the descriptions that I so eagerly read in the SL Destination Guide.  But, sometimes that happens!
So, I teleported to the next sim that promised me an adventure similar to Alice, and it did not disappoint!

Enchanted Alice offered that same little hole with a sit function to jump into, which was a bit clunky. The animation took a little start and then I was dropped down the rabbit hole!




This room was planned for fun and guess what? There was no entrance fee!

So, where to start?! The sim was magnificent!  It represented everything and more that I recalled from the story! I felt like Alice: startled, amused, delighted, and awed all at the same time. The Madhatter certainly planned a grand party!  Each little world showed me new adventures. The sim was crafted with the skill of a designer that really loved Carroll's work and wanted to give the SL community something to enjoy.  The scenarios were fun and easy to explore and the transitions from one to another were flawless.  
I had fun wandering the black and white checkered world of Alice and getting surprised by a squid monster that trumped the Jabberwocky!  Just as I thought my senses were gathered, this crazy sim would teleport me to yet another grand part to walk, stumble, dance, run, and touch everything around me.   The worlds provided spacious places to play, pose and enjoy with a friend!
This sim has a complete thumbs up compared to my first search for Alice and her cohorts.  I think the only people I didn't meet up with was TweedleDee and TweedleDum, but then that was "Through The Looking Glass!" Hmmm, I bet the Madhatter is hard at work creating the next big adventure for that one! I'll most certainly be back to find out! OHH, I almost forgot to say, that there are plenty of places and things to sit on...
Here are some more exploration picks I collected while having fun in the land of Enchanted Alice.

Don't mess with Alice!
A very macabre dinner!


ON-GUARD!
