Gallery Opening

United Artists of SL has a new exhibit by a wonderful neon graphic artist. I've known Rory Torrence forever and never realized how talented he was till I saw a collection of his works all together. He makes animated neon pieces that are constantly changing to reveal new colors and shapes. He also built the unique gallery to display his work. 

The collection will be on display till at least August 31. All pieces are for sale.

• Wearing EXCLUSIVE separates from Sascha's Designs available @ Designer Showcase for August *.  Midway through my tour, I changed from the top and pants to the dress version. 
• The top and pants are sold in a fat pack which includes a silky backless halter top in plain colors. The dress is sold separately 
• The hardest part of wearing this outfit is deciding which of the beautiful watercolor inspired textures to apply to the dress and top. There are 14 subtle flowered textures for the dress or the top, 12 colors for the halter top and 14 coordinated solids for the pants

Every woman has a little magic inside. Sometimes all it takes is the right outfit to bring it out.  Whether you prefer haute couture or fantasy, this unique set from Jumo, available @ Designer Showcase, will certainly fill the bill! With brocade-influenced bodice, lace sides, sheer skirt and sleeves, it's long, it's short, it's sexy!  

One piece that looks like asymmetrical separates comes in 9 colors with 3 texture mixes in each hud. I'm showing Red, Steel and one of the combos from the Extra Pack. If you just can't decide which color you prefer, buy the fat pack and receive all the colors as well as 3 additional looks in the Extra Pack
