Pretty as a Peacock
Recently, I had cause to find a sexy showgirl outfit for an event I wanted to attend. I checked out Reasonable Desires, my first stop for beautiful costumes, to see if there was anything that would suit. As usual, I found exactly the thing I was looking for. I saw this GORGEOUS peacock showgirl outfit! This one is a head turner to be sure. This show stopping number is really, really skimpy, so make sure you’re ready for all the attention *wink*. This costume is beautifully executed and is not lacking in detail in any way. I don’t know what it is about showgirl outfits, but if you wear one, you immediately feel like you’re the belle of the ball. Austie Pegler and Martini Joliat, the design team behind Reasonable Desires, know how to make our shapes look mighty sexy, I can tell you. Their designs are cheeky, fun, sexy and flawlessly constructed. I could go on and on, but I suggest you go and see for yourself. Check out her outlet at Stella’s Mall on Stella Isle or Reasonable Desires Main Store. You won’t be disappointed! /Me straps on her stilettos and rushes to find a kick line on stage.
Poison Candy
I was so excited when Lokum Shilova from Rezzable dropped on me some examples of Alla Ruff’s work for Poison Candy located at The Cannery. Alla’s designs are very couture with a strong edge of retro rockabilly. I chose a couple of dresses to show you, which I thought were exceptional.
First is the Crush Dress Pink. It’s simply adorable! The outfit also includes a plain skirt, but I just loved the very retro decal. The skirt has very realistic folds and a pretty sheen to the whole outfit. The hot pink will definitely get you noticed.
Next up is the Rockin Skulls top and skirt. From afar, the texture of the skirt and top looks rather like flowers until you’re close up then you can discern little skulls over it, which I thought was really cute. The neckline is a very deep narrow V that is laced up from bust line to navel. I chose the red bodice and red detailed prim skirt, but it is also available in black, if you prefer. This dress really accentuates your curves and the prim skirt is perfectly flexi. I’ve paired each outfit with hair by Maitreya called Mica in blonde.
Chez Geo
Imagine my delight and sheer glee at these lovely items that Georgette Whitfield sent over to me! I am a huge fan of her style and design prowess that I’m honoured to show you a couple of items from her new store called Chez Geo on the Rich Idiot sim. I rather like that name as it reminds me of…my hubby…ok now on to the clothes..
I headed off to Emvee Cuba to show off this adorable little dress called Cyclical (black rainbow). Lovely little multicoloured rings decorate this dress and another unique feature is the different flexi skirt prims that are included – there’s one for curvy girls! I love this feature as I’m not a fan of having slap on a different shape or adjust hips/butt all the time. Also included is the top in both shirt and underwear layers. This dress has a slight retro feel to it but is contemporary enough to wear anywhere, anytime.
The next outfit I was overjoyed to discover was a dead gorgeous gown! It’s called New Look and it has a couple very striking features apart from being simply a lovely gown. The texture has a wonderful sheen to it, showing Georgette Whitfield’s extraordinary talent for detail. As well, the back to the dress includes a top that has a buttoned or plain back. If that’s not all, there’s also a pair of cuffed pants to wear instead of the skirt prim to make a very sleek and cool looking retro catsuit.
Chez Geo collection is designed to mix and match the outfits as separates and to pair with accessories, also available at the store such as belts, bangles and earrings to name a few.
Dark Grey Rihana
I was so pleased to see one of Saku Koltai’s designs from Fashionity Fantasy called Dark Grey Rihana. This little mini is seriously cute and very unique. It sports a pretty gold embellishment on the torso and a sweet ribbon detail on the bust line. There is also a scripted skirt included with the outfit. Saku always presents amazing details in her clothes, which makes her very distinctive, so you can be assured that you’ll always look fresh, fashionable and very stylish. Check out this outfit and many other gorgeous dresses at her Fashionity Fantasy Main Store or her outlet at Stella’s Mall on Stella Isle.
Dazzling Desire
Lydia Sands of Boutique Lovely was kind enough to send me one of her new lingerie sets called Dazzling Desire. It’s gorgeous! The turquoise colour is sexy and very classy at the same time, which I love. It also comes with three types of babydoll prims, each of them with a beautiful glitter texture to them. The silhouette is classic and you’ll glow when you wear it! It’s beautifully executed and textured. The attention to detail is obvious as well. The name of the set is apt as you will definitely dazzle and certainly be desirable. Thank you Lydia!
I’ve paired this set with hair by Truth called Chelsea.
Boutique Lovely
I decided I needed to go on a good old fashioned shopping hunt to try to find some hidden treasures. It wasn’t long before I came across a sweet little shop called Boutique Lovely owned by Lydia Sands. There was a really nice selection of very pretty things: gowns, lingerie, swimsuits and casual wear. I found this pretty lingerie set upstairs called “Lovely Pearl Satin” in Pink. The delicate black lace overlays the pink satin very attractively and it comes with 2 different babydoll prims, one with a darker opacity than the other, which is a really nice feature. I love the lace panties too. They are a little fuller than a thong but certainly not “granny panties’ by any means! In the picture, I’ve paired the lingerie set with Hair by Cher called Heather.
?? Isn’t she… Pretty In Pink ??
Ok, enough gawking about it’s price… time to gawk about the dress. The dress is delicately embossed with jewels, from the bodice to the flowing train.. The body of the dress is very nice and full, perfect for a romantic date or formal event. Not going to a formal event? Wait! It also comes with a short version.

Italian chic by NAIMA
Take a look at this hot little outfit called “Oro ed Avorio” by Naima. It has a beautifully done woven tank in off white with a golden brown suede insert at the waist and a gorgeous pair of distressed gold-toned leather jeans with a chunky fringed western style prim belt. I had to get a shot to show you how cute your butt will look in these jeans! After I bought my outfit, I noticed that there was a really good selection of menswear …really swanky stuff too! The store location I went to is located at Lagoon and it is chic and well laid out. So, for a touch of Italian flair, this outfit will definitely do the trick.
SexySecond Issue 3 Now Available as a Download PDF
I think that Issuu is the greatest thing for pdf magazines since sliced bread. Well, hold it. I need to rethink that metaphor because sliced bread doesn’t do much for pdf magazines.
A few people reported that Issuu didn’t like their browser, however, or that it was a pain to get there because Issuu wanted you to update your flash player or some other technical thingy, so not everyone is singing the Issuu praises as loudly as I do…
And then….a bunch of you contacted me or left comments that you miss the downloadable pdf version of SexySecond. Well, for all these reasons, I finally have broken down and redone the mag for download! I should warn you that it is a ginormous file (60 mb) but it is spectacular because it is truly full size, all the fabulous pictures just shine.
You can get the download Here on the archive page of the magazine section of the website.
In the future I will do both a version at Issuu and one for download. Sorry it took me so long to get this done for this issue!
