Oh and did you notice how we are staying on topic (that topic being directly related to SL..... *cough*General Forums*cough*). So did you think the outfit was Torleyesque or just a Torley Rip Off? :D


Rip off! She obviously photosourced it!

Notices and Well-Wishes suits much better than OT. Oh well, live and learn, then die and forget it.

Notices and Well Wishes, it seems most appropriate, "Post your Birthday Notices, Thank Yous and other SL Announcements here.". The central theme seems to be about Torley and her influance on the outside world. Since it is a Linden Employee it is very SL-centric. If you move this to OT, then you should prbly move everything else about a RL interview or whatever from General.

I don't know, looks pretty real to me! Torley did you have any feedback on this outfit, does anyone know the designer of it?

Wouldn't it be great if it turned out a rl designer who played SL did make that? :D

Which picture is this, again? All I see at the link is a picture of Jack Nicholson. And he's not in a watermelon colored tux.

That's what I thought! But keep hitting the scroll right button beside Jack and you'll see what they mean.

Just found it! It took a while, and after a bit I started wondering if people were just talking about a particularly bright or abstract looking dress, and if I'd clicked past on it on accident. And then I found the photos, and stopped wondering. ;)

Heh, even the Favicon for that page looks watermelony. I have no idea who's the designer BUT I WANNA KNOW!!!

Hehehe... and in all seriousness, it's okeydoke to leave this in Off-Topic as it's grown very metameta for now, unless it gets awfully heady into the financial merits of importing physical hot-pink-'n'-neon-green fashions into SL, and how I might have to endeavor to sue for copyright infringement. ;) The discussion references me and I'm all the happier for it, but the photo is from the "real world" (what's that?).

Notices and Well Wishes would be fine too 'cuz wuvme just haaad to let me know, LOLEX, but since I can be in three places in once and a thread on the SL Forums can't... I win.

Tickled watermelony in any case! =^_^=

RUR RUR RUR.

The person in the photo is Zhandra Rhodes, who is a British designer who started in the mid-1960's. She has always been considered to be kind of "out there" -- she started her own fashion house in 1969 because no one would hire her.

A brief bio from her website:

Zandra Rhodes was born in Kent in the 1940s and was introduced to the world of fashion by her mother, who was a fitter in a Paris fashion house and a teacher at Medway College of Art. Zandra studied first at Medway and then at the Royal College of Art in London. Her major area of study was textile design.
Her early textile fashion designs were considered too outrageous by the traditional British manufacturers, so in 1969, she established her own retail outlet in the fashionable Fulham Road in West London. Zandra's own lifestyle has proved to be as dramatic, glamorous and extroverted as her designs. With her bright green hair (later changed to a spectacular pink and sometimes a radiant red), theatrical makeup and art jewelry, she has stamped her identity on the international world of fashion.

She was one of the new wave of British designers who put London at the forefront of the international fashion scene in the 1970s. Her designs have always been clear, creative statements, dramatic but graceful, bold but feminine and her garments have a a timeless quality that makes them unmistakably a Rhodes creation. Zandra's inspiration has always been from organic material and nature. Her innovative approach to the construction of garments can be seen in her use of reversed exposed seams and in the stylistic use of jewelled safety pins and tears during the punk era.

Zandra designed for the late Diana, Princess of Wales, and continues to design for the royal and the rich and famous around the world. She has a loyal cult following in the USA. Over the years, she has had many academic and professional honours bestowed upon her and was made a Commander of the British Empire by the Queen in 1997.

Thanks Lash, I was wondering what Jack Nicholson had to do with Torley. :confused:
That was quite the dress and the pink hair was the icing on the cake :D

Rats, missing an excellent photoshopping opportunity by being at work. If I was at home, I'd be rapidly p-shopping a picture of Jack Nicholson into a Torley masterpiece. This work thing is seriouly cutting into my SL time. :)

That dress isn't a cry for attention. It's a desperate wail.
