Blondie and Dagwood
What had the largest impact on women’s liberation? According to one Vatican newspaper writer: the clothes washing machine. Watch this Whirlpool® commerical from the 50s to see just how liberated we’ve become! The poor ladies can’t appreciate voting, but they certainly love clean laundry at the turn of a dial.
Today’s blog is written in tribute to the pea-brained (male) advertising execs at Whirpool®, all men and women who fought for the rights of females, and—just for giggles—Blondie and Dagwood.
You’re So Street

I lurve me some plaid–especially when it’s done in two colors. It stays simple, flexible, and not pigeonholed like Nirvana-inspired grunge or Grandpa’s old trousers. These shorts by Riddle are, quite simply, the shit. I know other shorts like this are out there on the grid, and I’m tempted to snatch those up too. I so wish I could pull these off in real life! How did I go without these for so many months?
jojoruno Runo is an artist and creator of provocative clothing, furnishings, and installations. I’ve blogged RunoRuno before, and will continue to do so, because this one truly deserves it. How can you turn down unbelievably affordable clothing that’s expertly sculpted and comes with more options than you can handle? This tank top is one of three versions–all for just $50L. She should be charging more, and you should be buying more.
Exile’s new hair (to be found on their equally new sim, Covet) is funky as always, full of volume and sass. The current group gift for women (yes, there is one for men, too!) is this absolutely rawkin’ tri-color ‘do. Pick it up at the store’s entrance by wearing the group tag! I only wish there was a color pack with other tri mixes just like this one. It’s right up my alley.
P.S. On flickr, you can view both versions of this shoot: heavily photoshopped (seen above), and barely photoshopped. That will give you a feel for the colors of the items… and my smile dosn’t look so odd in the large size 
Blue thinking of you
Posted by: Thema Felix on: March 21, 2009
I’m missing a special Someone tonight, and because of that I have Barbara Streisand’s voice fluttering in my head:
I’d rather be blue, thinking of you
I’d rather be blue over you
Than be happy with somebody else
These (freeeee for a few more days!) pants/shorts actually come with leg prims, but I couldn’t be bothered with them and went straight for the crotchtastic bootyshort option. I’m not sure why I picked a white belt on top of the textured black belt in the outfit, but to hell with logic–I’m wearing it anyway. Clearly my ache to see that Someone is outweighing my fashion coordination.
So how feckin’ sweet are these stockings, eh? It’s like a Star Trek transporter beam puked on my legs. I lurve them.
The Armoire: A sim full of elegance
Posted by: Thema Felix on: March 17, 2009
I may not the the classiest broad on the grid, but my eyes still sparkle and widen in awe when I see the intricate creations of some of Second Life’s most talented jewelry designers. I revel in attention to detail, perfected metal textures, and whimsical designs that just begging to be worn. My body is bare without them.
So what’s a girl to do when she’s nearly naked? May I ecstatically recommend The Armoire: A Jewelry Showcase
From March 18 through March 22, you will have the opportunity to “ooh” and “ahhh” at the creaftsmanship of these celebrated designers: Candy Cerveau (Eye Candy), Caliah Lyon (Muse), Violet Voltaire, Kesseret Steeplechase (KessKreations), and Saiyge Lotus (Balderdash). Each woman has created a special selection of her work for this opulent trunk show. Hunt through the lovely labyrinth to fetch the finery; purchase pieces at the center pavilion; and delight in the delicious dioramas where live models will display the designers’ wares.
Jewelry will be featured on models on March 22nd 12 noon – 2 pm. Don’t miss the perfect chance to see these pieces in person.
For further information contact Candy Cerveau.
Attach, attach, attach.
Teleport, teleport, teleport!
Let’s have a quickie!

I just bought the Joan hair in Brown from Kin. I love the retro-chic curls!
Kin Keiko changed her textures (again). What do you think? I’m not sold on them (I prefer the previous batch). My personal style leans towards textures with fewer overt highlights, which means less streaking which sometimes gives a coarse, “greasy” feeling to the prims. All the same, I adore Kin hair, and own almost every style!
I figured since I was showing off one good item, I’d show off a bunch more! Here’s what I was wearing when I bought the new ‘do:
Showing:
Skin- Infinity “Elizabeth”
Hair- Kin “Joan” in Brown
Eyes- Glanz “Transparency Shine” in ClearBrown
Top- Twosome “Almost Nerdy Slipover”
Skirt- Untone Quilt “denimskirt”
Socks- Pig “socks mit suspenders” in yellow
Belt- *COCO* “Widebelt” in black
Shoes- ETD “Kristen” in black
Tattoo- Aitui “Demise”
