Me and my friends are Jem girls
Jem, Jem is my name
Exciting adventure
Fashion and fame
Once you’re a Jem girl
You’re never the same
C’mon, c’mon and be a Jem girl
Jem, Jem is my name

I Am a Jem Girl!
Someday My Prince Will Come
Club Night
Harper suggested we go check out a club called Cyberia Openstage. The Destination Guide (a handy thing at times for newbies or relative newbies for finding fresh places; even you oldbies should try it sometimes) lists it as “a sci-fi themed place with an open stage for all aspiring and established deejays.” And we loved it when we got there; someone was playing electronica at the time, and a batch of people were grooving the beat. We recommend it for music and dancing, if you ever want to go clubbing someplace that doesn’t require a ball gown.
Looking for photos of Cyberia? Not here, but edgy fashion, yes. Turn the page.
Ferosh Fashion Week — Going To a Go-Go
Well, there’s a brand new place I’ve found
Where people go from miles around
They come from everywhere
And if you drop in there
You might see anyone in town
“Going To a Go-Go,” by Smokey Robinson, Pete Moore, Bobby Rogers, and Marvin Tarplin

Harper and I are hopeless during the summer. She’s in short-story mode a lot lately and wants to storyboard everything to work out her settings. We’re both busy with out-of-school families in RL. But we took a break to get some of the more important work done — like keeping our sanity together with a little fashion fun in world. We took a quick run — Harper was in one of her Melanda costumes at the time, though she isn’t here — to Ferosh Fashion Week, and I found this lovely, feathery, flirty party dress that I had to get!
Or What’s a Heaven For?
…Ah, but a man’s reach should exceed his grasp,
Or what’s a heaven for…?
Robert Browning, from “Andrea del Sarto”
Fully Alien, SLink About
Since when, you say, is it new that I’m dressed up like some alien creature? Well, it’s new in this sense: I’m also wearing SLink hands and feet in all of these pictures.
To a Friend Estranged from Me
Now goes under, and I watch it go under, the sun
That will not rise again.
Today has seen the setting, in your eyes cold and senseless as the sea,
Of friendship better than bread, and of bright charity
That lifts a man a little above the beasts that run.
The Advantages of Floating in the Middle of the Sea
…The advantages go on and on
In the middle of the sea.
As the centuries have come, they’ve gone
In the middle of the sea.
Days arise to be replaced,
Lines are drawn and lines erased.
Life and death are but verses in a poem.
Out there blood flows …
Who knows?…
The lyrics, from Stephen Sondheim’s Pacific Overtures, tell of how Japan was in the years before Commodore Matthew Perry broke the ban against foreigners and trade with other countries in 1853. His “four black dragons” — American steam-powered warships — arrived in a land very much like the world you find in Taka no Sakura, a build of a classic Japanese village from the feudal period. Other things seem to float at times — like a beautiful strapless dress. Prism offers us the new Carolina dress, a lovely strapless cocktail gown in three different colors, with rich patterning on the overskirt and bustier, and a jewel-buckle belt.
…Here we paint screens,
Plant the rice,
Arrange the flowers,
View the moon,
Exchange the gifts,
Plant the rice,
Arrange tomorrow like today to float,…
Simplicity seems to be called for here, and so I choose one of the simpler sets of jewelry from Lazuri — still chunky and substantial, but much less heavy than other of her collections. It is HUD driven, like most of her pieces; each one can be controlled individually, or you can click on the necklace to change the metal and major gems on all pieces simultaneously.
…Slide the screens,
Exchange the poems,
Stir the tea,
Exchange the bows,
Plant the rice,
Arrange tomorrow to be like today,
To float….
The hair is from sYs, and is a lovely progressive style, while the makeup and nail polish goes along with the blue dress and gold jewelry.

Checking Out Old Goodies — Mimikri Helena
V is for — Vixen
Wouldn’t you feel like a vixen, too, in a nice snug catsuit? One of my favorites is this old suit named Vixen from SLink, before the days when they became obsessed with prim hands and feet (grin). It’s complete with gloves and shoes, and fits — just right….
