52 Weeks of Colour Challenge - St Patrick's Blue

Today's colour is not an Irish green.  No, it is St Patrick's Blue which was originally the colour of Ireland according to the UK Telegraph Paper:

"Blue not green is the colour originally associated with St Patrick. “St Patrick’s Blue” is used on Ireland's Presidential Standard or flag, while the Irish Guards sport a plume of St Patrick’s blue in their bearskins. The emphasis on green is thought to be linked to “wearing the Green”, a symbol from the 18th century on, of sympathy with Irish independence."


So there ya go.  Fashion AND a history lesson.  This blog is educational!


My post for today is titled:

The Riviera

We were pretty pumped and excited to do last week's color challenge, avocado, but RL gets in the way and you know how that is. So we dedicated ourselves this time to complete this week's color, which is another shade of blue. Rhed's ensemble came to her almost naturally and well mine, it took some searching. It's not easy looking for a bright shade of blue in the men's department, but we prevailed! In fact, it took us longer to find a location for our photo shoot. 

As always, to get information on what Rhed's wearing, visit her blog here!

You should go there anyways, because her photos are amazing and I love to see how they differ from mine.

52 Weeks of Colour Challenge - Aquamarine

I had no idea what to do with this colour.  I had a dress and that was it.  Then, out of the blue, an awesome designer of Petite items threw me some outfits and there in the midst was one labelled Teal (which is a close relation of aquamarine)...and it was just what I wanted.  I hugged her through IM and then raced to do these pics.

I have titled these:

Outfit: That Chick - Beautiful Assassin - Teal Set (New Item)
Cage:  The Looking Glass - Petites Birdcage

Just Meshing About

I am having a blast with all the new mesh items flying about SL.  I have even given up hiding my mesh and now wander in full view.  My theory is, "As long as I look great to me, who cares if others see me as a mesh blob!"  Embrace it, people!
