Ranging from hit television shows like “Will and Grace” and “Little Britain” to comedian Jeff Dunham’s hilarious Achmed the Dead Terrorist to “True Blood” and Club gestures.

Make sure you grab your free “Hola!” gesture at the store front when you visit and you’d best all be armed with Hollywood’s gestures at the January Rezzday party!

Here it is your limo to 24 Shoo Shoes .
Wow! No. 21 is very opulent, haute couture sandals with feet, toes, ankles, made in Tiffany Yellow diamonds (also white or black) and rubies, suspended on sinuous jewelry made in the newest technology in sculpting. Extreme gracious heels and a teardrop falling behind you…Platforms and ankles that will totally change the shape of your legs…forget about the ugly default ankles you had before…

They come in ready made 2 sizes, as for the Model look and as for the Betty Boop look. Each of the 254 skin tones are clearly visible on transparent huds with textures…yes, you will not tint them in a plain color, just choose from a 254 collection of the best skin-tones in SL, vivid, realistic and textured in detail (sole, veins, cuticles, shadows and lights). Many of the skin-brands and their tones are alphabetically listed in a Guide so you will just click on a certain button of the hud. Also 26 nail enamels, in a Pedicure hud.

And now, right after the commercials, the promised tale…Once upon the times, I (the blonde me) conspired with myself (the dark me) to make a blogger of (the red-haired) me… LeLutka is to blame for this mixture of ruffled hairs…The glory of my day was that “JENIFFER” wig, and it is so mod that I felt challenged to guess the color of the angels’ curls…and yes, I turned from the art galleries carrying this painting…For those of you who have the feeling that the Cherubs are planning a prank…well, that’s a detail of one of Raphael’s Madonna paintings, so I hope they wouldn’t dare…would they?

And so, I began to look for some Fashion House for angels…they impressed me by having nothing to wear…that’s the naked truth about them: no server-wide inventories, not even the pink newbie dotted dress…and deeply sunken in these thoughts, I went to visit Meghindo Romano’s store, because she won The BOSL Designer Challenge contest for 2010. Isn’t she good at making an apparition of any lady?

The charismatic Meghindo Romano creates gowns that are exceptional, not subtle or for the faint of hearted. Her gowns are what you would expect to see on the red carpets for the awards shows. She is sensitive to the Avatar Rendering Cost and aware of it, so if you want to go to a happy-laggy- event, dress from Meghindo’s collections. When standing in a crashing hurricane, you will keep your feet firmly on the ground and let the gentlemen load you in a second and forever…just to feel they second-live happily ever after…

January 23, 2010 – For immediate release

On the runway, Miss Costa Rica 2010, Nisa Constantine led the way in the Sora gown in white. This gown was worn by Miss China Sara Tatham in the Miss Virtual World 2010 pageant. A bevy of stunning models including TraLove Pinazzo, Florentine Rau, Millie Gears and Alexia Speizer brought the audience to thunderous applause with gowns and jewels that truly were full of glitz and glamour.

This was Millie Gears debut as a model tonight and she turned heads as she fought the lag with her fellow models, pulling it off beautifully. We received a treat when Mille modeled an upcoming release of Azul called Odette shown in jade. The gorgeous gown was available exclusively at the after party ballroom following the show. If you weren’t able to make it, then I’m afraid you’ll have to wait until January 28th. Never mind, early Valentine’s present.

TraLove Pinazzo made her presence felt showing the Dietrich gown in Amethyst. Vibrant purple shine hugs the curves and you can wear it long sleeved or no sleeves with the black fur shawl. The delicate hat and gloves really made this a standout paired with the Jennifer jewelry set from CCD.

Florentine Rau never disappoints with her fluid movements showing off the Camellia dress in Rouge to perfection and the Deliah earrings and necklace enhanced the glamour. Florentine also left mouths watering with the flirty Mia gown in purple and the enchantingly romantic Linda in Onyx.

Alexia Speizer showed how you could be glam and modern at the same time modeling Grace in silver. Not a full length, but sleek and showing plenty of leg with silver designs on the collar and arms. Alexia also modelled a bold little number called Malena. With an asymetrical cut across the body, one side is sheer with gold overlay, the other side black with accent on the shoulder and ending in a floor sweeping skirt.

This Showcase was packed. The sim was full up within minutes with more people still trying to teleport in. After a triumphant show, everyone stayed and partied on with DJ Azu for the after party, models, residents and execs mingling and shopping from the vendors set up specially for the show.

If you didn’t get the chance to make it through, you can see more photos of the dazzling designs that were on display and definitely plan to attend the next Costa Rica Sims Production Designer Showcase! You see photos of all the outfits at our Flickr page. Visit AZUL and Caithlin Carter Designs in the Costa Rica Shopping District.

Hugs to all!

An astounding new joint venture called LG femme!
