I went digging around in the back of my virtual closet and found this lovely little thing – it’s the perfect harbinger of spring, swirling with flowers and butterflies!

And isn’t that middle photo something special? It’s a nice break away from our usual format, I think. For those of you who are wondering, Adam uses a PhotoLIFE studio and pose stands from Tillie while he works. For cropping and the occasional minor touch-ups on the images he uses Pixelmator for Macintosh. Me? I just stand there and look pretty. *wink*

“Dancing is the loftiest, the most moving, the most beautiful of the arts, because it is not mere translation or abstraction from life; it is life itself.” – Havelock Ellis

To dance in a gorgeous hand-painted watercolor gown such as this in real life would be divine, wouldn’t it? Oh, you tease my heart, Second Life.

Yes, Adam came out from behind the camera today to show you the latest release from FATEwear – a fantastic suit called “Edward” – that seems to come with an endless amount of options for wearing. You can mix ties, vests, jackets, trousers – everything! And it even comes with a few different pose animations so you can sling the jacket over your shoulder or slip your hand in your pocket. Very clever indeed and lots of fun, too.

You can find this awesome suit at the FATEwear mainstore location or on the Marketplace in a little while.

In my next post, we return to ladies’ fashion with a cute little jacket, sweater and pants ensemble. You won’t want to miss it!

My gosh, what a busy weekend! I’m just now finding time to post this submission for the Twisted Color Challenge – this particular edition being titled Lilac Suede, a lilac and deep green combination. I fudged a bit and carried the green in my bouquet, because sometimes these combos are harder than heck to find in SL! I guess that’s why it’s called a challenge, right?!

I’ve been doing some shopping at Maitreya the past few days, so the next entry will feature some of the new items from that designer’s latest release.

A brand new year and a brand new blog – Happy 2013 and welcome to Dressing DaniRose!

As some of you may have read in the last post of AlphaBrat Gets Dressed, Ms. Pink Sommerfeld is retiring from Second Life (for the most part) and I, her top model, have decided to carry on the tradition of gathering together lovely fashion ensembles in this spin-off blog. My brother Adam will continue on as the photographer for this website and it should prove to be a lot of fun doing this creative project with him.

On behalf of Adam and myself, I would like to dedicate this particular post – full of pinkness, sparkle and light – to our mentor and dear friend, Pink Sommerfeld. We love you and we hope to make you proud!
