• After visiting the mischivious german carnival a couple of times the Greenies finally decided to enter the parade with a own cart! The motto of 2010: "Jekk läggt!? O.o The target: Turn the Jekken into Greenies! But how to turn crazy imps into submissive aliens? Allure them with roasted egg (Germans love those!) and free avatars!

The virtuell "Rose Monday" parade starts February 15 at 10am SLT in front of the cathedral in Cologne SL with a friendly "Alaaf". Many inworld institutions and groups like Magic Builder, GNC and the GREENIES will participate with their carnival carts. The festival moves at 11am SLT to Coblenz SL where the parade continues with a joyful "Helau"! The market girls welcome the track with their traditional dances at 12pm SLT in Munich SL. Ongoing we celebrate the motto "Greenie läggt" with a incredible aftershow party in Cologne and Munich.

What better way to celebrate a Valentine’s Day preview than to date a adorable Greenie? Forget a romantic evening at the fireplace, a candlelight dinner in a cute restaurant or a moonshine picnic! This Greenie found the ultimate way to get into your heart. Fishing at the sink! It doesn't sound special, does it? But wait, there is more ...

Intertessted in? Yes!? Then join us on February 12th, 12-2pm SLT @ Greenies Home.

You can't have any kind of Cybercouture show in SL without one of the most forefront names in the genre, +DV8+. So of course they were right up the top of my list. I asked Vasha Martinek whether she was in, and the answer was a definate YES. And she created the amazing Razor Girl outfit that came with more options than my prim peen. I raved over this, of course - as you can see in Terry's blog it's terrific. Then a couple of days later the other creator in +DV8+ Dysturbed Sin dropped a male outfit on me, Cybermancer. I HAD NO IDEA. And I think I came close to actually humping his leg on the spot.

The other night I went to the Greenie's dance and frolicked with a teal-green tentacle-monster. As we danced, I looked around the crowd and pondered how we all envisioned the concept "futuristic." Everyone looked sexy; that was my first thought. This is Second Life, however, and avatars have to TRY to not be. Sexy aside, I saw a lot of new ideas about shape and structure and fabric. In the future, fabric doesn't have to be cloth, and clothing doesn't have to cover the epidermis; sometimes it's embedded within, sometimes it takes the physical form and twists it entirely. I'd love to see a Galliano show in 3050 (if we cryogenically preserve him or something) -- would he make clothing out of dry ice and foam?

One has to have an "edge" to tackle the future, or the past may not let you go.  A sharp edge is best, as it cuts through the unessential confusion, and clearly exposes that which is needed.

This ensemble from L'Able ensure you are ready to fight your way mercilessly to the future, whilst knowing you look dayum good.  The broad shoulders send a loud and clear "not to be messed with"  message,  and as seen in the top picture, the bolero jacket has awesome detailing.  I like how the leggings provide a graphical contrast to the outfit, breaking it up and giving it further interest, ooooh and the gloves.. well they ensure you don't break a nail during the battle to the future.

The epic Rezzable fashion event "2010 - The Future Is Now" starts winding down from this weekend, the final day is February the 3rd to get any of the lovelies that you've seen cyberglamming up the feeds over the last few weeks. But we aren't letting it go out without a bang. Join the wonderful Avenue Models at Greenies Home at 7pm SLT on this Saturday the 30th of January. DJ Summerkat will be spinning and taking requests, and there's going to be lots of beautiful people for you to stalk. Erm...  dance with.

If you missed it, you can also catch up with our own Achariya Maktoum talking about the event with Rusch Raymaker and Jesika Contemponi on the weekly TV show "Fabulous Fashion With Angie Mornington."
