In case you didn't see it live or even if you did, I was interviewed by Paisley Beebe for Tonight Live on SLCN.TV last Sunday.  I had a great time, even after being told we would need to re-record the interview because of technical problems.  So, if you saw it live, the interview on their website is a little different.

Paisley commented on what I was wearing so I blogged about it over at Daphne's Random Thoughts.

Until later,

Daphne

In Episode 12 of Going Broke with Daphne and Tamara -- The Show That Tells You Where to Spend Your Lindens, we visit with Alla Ruff of Veschi!  She tells us about her secret past as well as her current inspirations.  Next, we paid visits to Pochette and Corduroy.   Finally, we announce our sixth Avatar of Style.  Join us for the ride!

With all the black and gray around the grid, you'd think no made anything with colors anymore.  If that's how you feel, visit Veschi in the Lame Mall on the Fuzzy sim.  At Veschi, you'll find fun designs in every color of the rainbow -- and some that aren't in the rainbow!  Alla, a dancer turned designer, has found her niche as SL fashion's impish vamp, or is that vampish imp?  Whichever one she is, we just can't get enough.  We've become Allacoholics!

When Daphne passed me a note from listener Demelza Beaumont recommending Pochette, I was curious.  Ms. Beaumont included a picture of herself in a soft fall outfit that I would kill for in real life (okay, I wouldn't kill for it, I'd just shop for it).  I loved the soft wool skirt in the picture, and it turns out it was from Pochette.  So, I visited Pochette the next day.  Several hundred lindens later, I had a gorgeous new fall wardrobe with feminine skirts, tailored jackets, and gorgeous scarves.  Sure, I'm now broke, but it was well worth it!  Thanks, Demelza!


I’m wearing Pochette’s Diagonal Pleat skirt, Knit jacket, Nep Knit socks (freebie!), and Simple muffler.  So cute and cozy!  When I tp’d in, I almost started hyper-ventillating from the cute!  I’m also wearing Olive & Violet’s Red Paisley shoulder bag from Red Rabbit Couture; Shiny Things‘ Flare oxfords; Studio Sidhe’s Thai Silk cami; ETD’s Bonita hair; Mad About’s Diamond Dewdrop earrings; Tete a Pied’s Vin skin; and Lemon’s Oh Marie shape.

Puma Jie's Corduroy is the place to go when you want some fun legwear to add some color to your fall and winter gear!  Argyles, polka dots and stripes festoon Puma's socks, leggings and thigh-highs.  For as little as $30L a pair, you can make yourself stand out from the crowd.  While your at Corduroy, don't forget to pick up a pair of soft flannel boxers to wear in your cubby (also for sale at Corduroy and designed by Alan Wijaya)!

So far, all of our Avatars of Style have been flattered by our asking them to provide us with pictures for this tremendous honor.  Well, Mr. Bentham was just plain difficult!  I have logged the conversation here:
