Always Be Prepared.

That's the girl scout motto for a reason, dear Glamourazzi readers. Having an extensive wardrobe is something we joke about, but it really does come in handy. You never know what's going to happen when you log in world, or who you're going to meet, or what you'll be asked to do. Unexpected things have a habit of coming up in this virtual world of uors, and a Glamourazzi girl must always have the right outfit for the right occasion. For instance, like when you're asked to join a rock band five minutes before the concert.
My friend Rhodesy Durant and I got roped into being part of the backup band for the very talented Jax Streeter, SL musician. He was scheduled to perform at an in-world concert at the London School of Journalism and his band was nowhere to be found. So, he asked us to get dressed and join him on stage. Being nice girls, we agreed. It was so much fun! Nerve-wracking to say the least, but I was pleased that I was able to pull a look together in less then five minutes. Thankfully, just a few days before, Rhodesy and I had visited Nyte 'N' Day for a little shopping spree.
Nyte 'N' Day is one of the first stores I discovered upon entering SL, but I hadn't been there for many, many months. I'm so glad I took the time to go back. They had a lot of new stuff I hadn't seen, and Rhodesy and I both spent an obscene amount of lindens. The first thing I bought was a simple, chic outfit to wear while working at MDR Photo Studio. Pictured below, it's called Quadrate, and I just love the pattern on the sleeves. The fit is perfect too. It's casual but still sexy.

I bought Sin just for fun, and yes, for the name. How could I resist? I wasn't completely sure about it, to be honest, but the prices are so reasonable, I bought it anyway. When I put it on, I loved it! It was very flattering, and the criss-crossed staps on the back display my bare back perfectly. It's short enough to be sexy but long enough to still be decent. All in all, it was just the right look for my rock star stage debut.
Rhodesy and I also had plans to hear our good friend and boss, Maht Wuyts DJ at Velvet. If you're looking to dance the night away to some great music, you'll find me and Rhodesy (and sometimes Pyper) there on Saturday night listening to Maht spin some great tunes from 6-8 p.m. SL. Nyte 'N' Day came to our wardrobe rescue once again for this event. As soon as I saw the Outlaw outfit, I snagged it. I love the combination of pinstripes with chunky straps and metal rings. The fact that it's so short doesn't hurt the sexy factor, either. Paired with the Janey hair from ETD, it made a stunning combination. Rhodesy (friend and fellow MDR Photographer) snapped this picture of us dancing at the club. Don't we look great?

Well done, Arcadia! One can never underestimate the importance of a well-stocked inventory...but having one that is also well-organized...priceless! And yours must be to pull together that look so quickly! *slinks back to the sky box for more spring cleaning*

Bravo, darling! A wonderful, and inspired first post. :) It's incentive to not only keep shopping, but to not limit yourself to only one style. I mean, how else could you go from office to rock star and then formal otherwise? :)

To say you ladies looked fabulous on stage is an understatement, it was all I could do to keep focused on the performance and not my ...ahem..band: ), Jax
