Ambrosia Dance Club

Part of the fun of being in a virtual world is the ability to dress in fantasy outfits. In the real worlds you would probably never be caught dead in half the outfits that are available. In our universe you can be anything from a cowboy to a roman legionnaire to a slutty fairy princess. A lot of normal every day “streetwear” for both male and female avatars feature a lot of skin and parts showing. But with gravity-defying bewbies you can get away with a whole lot more than you could in reality. Some of the costumes are such total surprises that you really don’t know what the wearer is supposed to be, but its still way cool looking anyway. There is no mistaking what Nevea is supposed to be in this outfit.

One of the best costume designers in Second Life has to be Surreal LeShelle from Deviance Designs located in the Ambrosia Mall. Here latest outfit is called Enchanted and she modeled it off for me when she came by to update her store. All I can say is WOW! It makes me want to put on pointed ears and join whatever cult she is leader of.

The details of this outfit are exquisite down to the little sculpty skulls on the belt and the Staff of Power she grips. It is available in a wide variety of colours so you can buy them singly or save with a multipack. I cant wait to see your most amazing costume next time you come in to the Ambrosia Dance Club.

Ambrosia Mall is happy to announce that after a long hiatus Fabienne Larson returns to designing new clothes to her hugely popular FAB design collection. Fabienne is not one of the big name designers in Second Life but her customers dont see to mind that at all. They can all recognize quality when they see it and that Fabienne delivers in abundance. Her new releases are smart and spunky and just look plain great on.

Maggie comes here complete with all the bells and whistles including a cute cap and a resize belt. You are sure to look fun and stylish on the sizzling main floor of Ambrosia wearing this outfit.

And if you meet that special someone and want to really show your stuff off check out this scorching lingerie set that is available in a variety of colours. You’ve done it again Fabienne! Make sure to check out the new releases right at the Teleport point to Ambrosia in the FAB Designs Store.

Random Rants now tells me why most guys on SL look so awful. If you plan your inventory correctly, you will not be lugging a trunk around and you will look stylish all the time. Trust me – a Dancer’s inventory includes Costumes too, so it is huge! And forget “Outfits” – how quaint is that? We are not small children having our wardrobe arranged by Mummy. A real Fashionista has flexibility and my method allows you wear bits of one garment with bits of another. And pleeeeassssse never the same shoes every day – that’s naff!!

You need a basic folders: Clothing, Jewels, Lingerie, Shoes & Boots, Sleep & Beach, and Stockings. I put a’ C” in front of each name to keep them together with the basic “Clothing Folder” and you can get to each folder very quickly. I store hair completely separately and it is arranged by maker/style/colour. And a warning! – Store your shapes skins and eyes in a folder at the bottom of the Inventory called Xtremely important.

When you buy something new, open it and put on each piece to see what you have. Then delete the notecards and extra LMs once you have read them or moved them to the correct folder.

Now rename. It goes like this: Name of Designer/Garment /Colour. Here’s an example: Redgrave/Bikers Boots /Brown and it goes into the Shoes & Boots Folder. Always do it straight away so you don’t forget, as this will stop the LMs building up. And make sure you delete all the asterisks and exclamation marks that get added to the labels – so annoying!

Any jewels are renamed with Designer/Related Garment /Colour and stored in the Jewels Folder. This means my brilliant “ A La Folie” jewels set that came with the Andalusia outfit can be got quickly and added to a black dress.

I also have a Costumes folder especially for Ambrosia. You won’t catch me around the grid in some of the G-strings I wear for work. This one is easy – I generally rename with only the description, so this weekend I will need Bunny Costume. If I get more than one type of Costume, I start a sub folder so there is Xmas/Red Santa and Xmas/Sexy Elf. The only difference is that every part of the costume is stored, shoes, stocking, jewels, ears etc and the notecard, and LM too as I want to remember where these garments were bought.

So that’s how a Pro does it, and once last thing – if it’s crap delete it or put it in a separate Scraps Folder – you never know when you will need a spare pair of flexi – knickers.

Editors Note – These women clearly do not understand the basic organizational nature of men. PK
