All Eyes on Me



Need something extravagant for New Years? I felt inspired by a recreation of Goldfrapp's Supernature album cover I did for kicks and ended up with this. *ICING* All Eyes on Me is a sumptuous gown of sapphire and emerald silk, with a painted peacock on the bodice and an oh so dramatic prim tail trailing off one side of the skirt. A bright bit of flexi prim plumage at the shoulder finishes the look. This outfit can be worn in two ways: as a pencil skirt with the feathers worn off one hip, or as a tea length prim skirt (versions for slim and curvy avatars included.)

The model is wearing:
Skin: []::Tuli::[] S5 medium ~ glam 1
Hair: ETD Eva II - Smoke
Earrings: Paper Couture Crystal Bloom Earrings
Eyes: Glanz ::Grants.TransparencyShineEyes::FreshBlue
Lashes: Cake - Bedroom Lashes

New Release: Glam Stole


Here's a bit of sumptuous luxury for the holidays. The *ICING* Glam Stole is a soft white fur wrap in two versions: one that can be worn slung low and across the elbows or another that is thrown elegantly over one shoulder. The stoles have an embedded AO that allow your avatar to wear the various pieces naturally while standing, walking, sitting and flying. Best of all, it's modifiable, so you can customize the poses and tint it any color you wish for maximum versatility.

Now the disclaimers: For best results, you should turn off or remove any other AOs as they may interfere with the look of the stole. Dancing in the stoles may cause your avatar to appear as if it is being attacked by 3 rabid albino raccoons.

Clothing and other accessories not included.

The model is wearing:
Dress: *ICING* Vixen - Ruby

Necklace and Earrings: *ICING* Princess Pearl Set
Ring: P.C; Times Square Ring - Diamond
Skin: []::Tuli::[] Meredith [ light ] retro red
Hair: Ingenue ~ Marilyn ~ Platinum (tinted)
Eyes: Glanz ::Grants.TransparencyShineEyes::ClearGray

Best of SL RFL Auction Results



I've just recovered from the Best of SL's Relay for Life Auction, what a fun event! Fab designers like Nicky Ree, Raven Pennyfeather and many more modeled their own one-of-a-kind creations down the runway, and all proceeds from the auction went to the American Cancer Society. At the end of the day over L$800,000 was raised for the cause!

Pictured above is the *ICING* La Dame de la Mer, which was purchased by LE.LOOK!'s Kallisto Destiny (who was on a bidding rampage today) as a generous gift to Callie Joubert. Congratulations, ladies!

Summer comes early to *ICING*



It's been so hot recently that I decided to try a little something different this week and do some swimwear. Angel Food Cake is a little bit of pinup glamour. This creamy vintage-inspired swimsuit has a bow at the back of neck and chest and a flexi ruffle at the hips. This ensemble also has a dress option that will take you from the beach to a sunset dinner in style. Additionally, due to its light color, the outfit is easily tintable for lots of different looks.

This week is all about romance. *ICING* presents two wedding gowns. I got a lot of requests for the Miss Hathaway in white, but ended up lazing out and making a Frankenstein full length version of the First of Spring, entitled Spring Wedding.


Midsummer Promise is a white strapless silk gown with black lace appliqué. It has 3 silhouette options, full ballgown, dramatic mermaid with train, and tea-length skirt. Since I couldn't fit it all in the ad, here's an in world look at the various skirt options:

Platinum Mist



Presenting the Platinum Mist, an elegant pleated silk gown featuring a lace overlay bodice and ruffled neckline. (Yes, I'm running out of hoity toity names for my outfits so I'm rehashing "Mist" - don't judge me!) This dress has two skirt options, a knee-length baby doll and a full-length empire waisted skirt version.

On another note, Rosemary Galbraith dropped me a metric ton of yummy skins from her Creampuff line in a huge inventory trade brokered by Puma, and I'm happily drowning in soft, gorgeous makeups. They're reasonably priced, beautiful, and available in a huge selection of looks for each skin tone, so if you haven't check out ROSEMAR yet, get your tush over there, stat.

Puma Shirts and RFL results



Sorry for the sporadic updates, but RL has been consuming my free time in the most irritating way. Anyhow, to tide you over, I was requested to do the shirts from the Puma Jie outfit in different colors, so here they are in Peacock, Purple, White, and Pink. They make nice and simple foundation pieces- I've shown them here with the Puma skirt, but they mix and match well with the Girl Friday outfit!

Note that this is the first item which I'm offering with a Fatpack option. As I slowly switch permissions of the items over to Copy/Mod/No Transfer I'll probably make the Fatpack option available with all my outfits that come in multiple colors.

Lastly, big thanks to everyone who bought a Relay For Life limited edition dress from *ICING* - we managed to raise over $L 130,000 for this wonderful cause. The Relay Raiders clothing fair raised over L$ 4,000,000 in a week at the event, and I'm delighted and amazed. Thanks again, everyone!

Girl Friday



I got the urge to do some more business wear, so here's Girl Friday, a delicate creamy camisole with soft prim ruffles cascading down the bodice and paired with a high-waisted gray tweed pencil skirt and skinny belt. Perfect for the girl who wants to look professional and feminine.

Note that I am slowly changing permission on my clothing, so that every outfit I release from now on will be Copy/Mod/No Transfer. Please check perms carefully before buying, as they'll be a bit of a hodgepodge as I migrate things over.

Also, in group news, starting at midnight tonight PDT I am instituting a nominal L$10 fee to join the group to discourage the rash of hit-and-run spammers we've been getting recently. Note that if you're already a member, you don't need to pay anything, and you'll continue to get all the group-only freebies that are released. If you're not... well, join now to avoid the fee if you're really strapped for lindens. :)

RFL Releases and a freebie

The Relay for Life Clothing Fair is open! *ICING* is presenting 2 new exclusive dresses for this occasion, and all proceeds from these designs go to Relay for Life.



I've received a number of requests to make the Miss Hathaway dress in other colors, so here's your chance to get this gown in soft pink.



And Azalea Sunset is the second offering, a silk halter dress with a tiered hem and a vibrant salmon-colored band.

Both these dresses are available only at the *ICING* kiosk in the Relay for Life Clothing Fair sim, and are only available during the duration of the fair. Due to the limited edition nature of the outfits, they are Copy/Mod/No Transfer, so please take note!



Lastly, I'm offering the Princess Pearl Bracelet, a companion to the Princess Pearl choker and earring set, as a little freebie. You can pick this up from a gift bag (packaged with the Night Mist dress, sorry for the repeat) at my new satellite location in the Plaza Colonial Shops in Laguna Arenal or at the RFL kiosk.
