LINK DRESS 2 PEARL, GOLD, SILVER by Yeti Voom

As we build the new BOINGO store for July 1 we’re adding some colors to existing pieces based on all your requests...

Have fun!

-Jeela



Here is a new Link Dress 2 in almost white PEARL (Pure white causes lots of color problems in SL) so you can go behave like a Devil, while looking like an Angel.


We got a lot of requests for this but we hand paint everything and I wanted to make sure it was just right. Submitted for your approval, and available in the main store..
The Boingo Link Dress 2- GOLD & SILVER.

(Oh btw… the stain on the hip is NOT a stain! This fabric is metallic and it’s a reflection! All painted to make it look real, just like a metallic dress in RL would.)





I have a minor obsession with shopping and visit art galleries in larger cities. (Someone I know very well said it was the understatement of the year…) But I love to take a stroll down the streets and have a look at shop windows to see how they have decorated to get the clothes to look their best. I also love to sit in front of a painting or a sculpture and just think about how the artist was thinking when He/She created it.

I have been thinking a lot about fashion in general lately. I was reading a blog the other day and this blogger had a strong opinion about fashion not being art. She said fashion is fashion and art is art. She also said there is a huge difference and that anyone that really have seen any kind of art and compared those or even had a thought it’s on the same page is an imbecile. Why she was thinking like this didn’t really come up to the surface.

I had to think… Is fashion art? Can art be made into fashion? Does it have anything at all to do with each other? Can one be influenced by the other? Music and fashion definitely are… So if music and fashion goes hand in hand then why can’t fashion and art? How did this subject get into her head in the first place? For me it was obvious! Of course fashion is art! When I look at a dress, RL or SL, and know how much work that’s behind it and all the sketches it took to get it right or how it, just like a painting, comes to life in the mind, heart and dreams of the designer I cant but help thinking… FASHION IS ART!!! And that is my opinion.

So let’s say for a second that fashion is art… another question. Can you compare RL fashion to SL fashion? I mean… in SL you can wear clothes and things not possible in RL. Like our wonderful Link dress 2 for example. I know for sure my tits wouldn’t stay behind this fabric! If it could be made in RL (or is it already?) would it stand a chance at the New York fashion Week? I have no idea. In august I’m attending the Stockholm Fashion Week. Then I will try to see if there is anything like the Link cocktail dress and if there is… I WILL BUY IT!!





















Here is your chance to pick up one real piece of artwork…
Link Dress in PEARL, GOLD or SILVER for $575 L each
(The collection is intricately cut and constructed as usual.)You will kick ass at any opening of an exhibition or cocktail party in this dress.

Boingo is about being different.
Take a walk on the wild side Multiversers!

POLAR LATIN DRESS by Yeti Voom

I can’t remember how many times Jeela said “It didn’t look like this in Photoshop…”

I think it's time that you see an example of what she means.

Everytime you change a picture and save it as a .jpeg some pixels are taken away or how I shall explain it. So imagine this… Jeela made the left side with no distortion. I got it, had to make some changes before I saved it at least 2 times to get it like this. In between we lost some pixels’ in the process. Now… if you don’t have a graphic card like Jeela does in her Mac… well I sure don’t… then think how she sees this everytime she downloads some clothing into Second Life.























Jeela told me she tried to make the stones in this dress look like plastic. I think it looks like the Lapis Lazuli. Imagine some golden strokes and this dress is worth a fortune!

Lapis lazuli is used to reduce fever and to treat blood diseases. It reinforces the vision, if worn regularly. Lapis lazuli is an uplifting spiritual rock and a good meditation stone. It helps against depression. It strengthens the ties of love and loyalty between couples. It opens up your spirituality. Lapis lazuli is a protection stone and gives you courage. Lapis lazuli can be used on the throat chakra and third eye.






















Who wouldn’t love to have a stone like this on your dress when you go out dancing? And start counting the ones on this dress… 1,2,3,4,5,6… You will be happy, have the sight of a hawk, no fever, your hubby will adore you and stay loyal though out the night, it will protect you and give you courage!! And above all… with this numerous of stones around the throat you will keep talking your inner truth all week long!!!

YOU will be the queen of any dance floor!!









Couldn’t help but taking a picture in our AYA Goth skin! When I was out dancing like this I felt like the witch in the Narnia Chronicles.
