Licorice

Licorice is a glossy,yummy,ssssslippery ssssslide of latex overalls, with an almost sheer bandeau top and silver clasp and shorty fingerless latex and fishnet gloves. So form fitting it looks poured on. ...And maybe it was. ;)


WARNING: Licorice is not for the meek. Don't ask where you should wear it....Just wear it and strut!. Fire Extinguisher not included.

Available at Gwen Carillon Designs on Elements in Design and on the Second Life Marketplace

Bite Me!

No...I'm not trying to insult you. Bite Me! is a mini dress with attitude. This is not a dolly dress meant to smile and cute its way through a night. This dress struts. If you want bland...if you want cute...if you want safe...look elsewhere. Bite Me! is anything but safe....And when you wear it....nothing and no one in your path is safe either!

Cat

Cat....A juicy, sleek addition to your wardrobe. Its liquid lines hug and enhance your curves in the most decadent ways. Yes,it's a Cat Suit...but it isn't just a cat       suit. It's a seduction, with you as its catalyst.

Available at Gwen Carillon Designs Main Store and on the Second Life Marketplace.

Pumpkin Ssssspicce

I decided to design lingerie that echoed how I felt about autumn. It had to include the warmth of a hearth-side on a brisk evening and the spice of a cup of slowly mulled wine....That delicious feeling as that warmth spreads to tingling nerve endings. And so I created Pumpkin Spice. Fall never tasted so good.

At GCD...we specialize in heavy breathing.

Hi, my name is Gwen Carillon and I'm happy. *ducks and hides*

It's ok to be happy. It really is. No angry god will smote you from above, because you feel especially good. The universe will not target you for having too much fun. There is no reason for guilt. That's the main thrust of this post. It isn't wrong to be happy....damn it!

We feel safe when we are miserable. Don't we? After all, we can't be pointed at and punished for being sad.  Happy, on the other hand, is not so acceptable. People don't know what to do with "happy". There's no commiseration...no consolation. They may even be reminded that they aren't feeling great at that moment. (Leave her alone...the poor thing had a bad day. Oh....She's happy? Well then, have at it!) We can actually feel guilty for feeling really good. It's as if we're convinced that we don't deserve happiness. We may even fear things going terribly wrong if our lives are too good. (Jinx!) Of course we deserve to be happy! This guilt thing we all snack on and feed to others, is just plain stupid! What's the bottom line? Things play out in our lives. Sometimes it works out really well and sometimes things get majorly borked. All the more reason to appreciate and enjoy happiness when we feel it. Revel in life's joys and the happiness of others. Waste not, want not.

Just some thoughts to crunch on. ;)

There are times we struggle to get the right look with accessories.  Let's say you are in a soft flowing skirt and tank, and you want to wear jewelry to complete the look. You hunt through your inventory only to find either shiny, fancy jewelry that's too busy with the outfit or....you find great casual jewelry that misses the mark on length for your neckline! LOL Been there. That's why I created Wild Heart.  The Wild Heart Collection is casual. dressy, long, short, simple, complex and completely sexy and fun! Go a lot wild... ;)

 ..Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini....and it still is.  I hit the surf with this one in Second Life. Unlike my experiences with "rl"waves and swimsuits,  in Second Life, my kini stayed on! lol I added little colorful beads in the top string, 'cause it was fun.

Slip into the thinnest weave of cotton, batik...just enough to entice. Add a bit of  exotic shells around a slender throat. Stroll along the sand at the water's edge.

Marrakesh Blue is a spicy and exotic state of mind. Go where it takes you. Succumb to the moment. ...I know what you did last summer....;)

I had so much fun making this kini!  I was listening to tribal music and practically dancing my way through the layers in Photoshop! I even made a surfboard for the shoot! *laughs*Marrakesh Blue Bikini includes ALL layers (including tattoo layers), and the Marrakesh Shell Choker. Soon to be released...Marrakesh Red!

Note: The hair pictured in poster is from "Sweet Hairs".

Between Me and My Jeans

There are a gazillion pairs of jeans out there. Why would I design new jeans? Because I wanted everything that my imagination told me a pair of jeans could be: Individuality, flattering lines, sexy cut, edgy...and comfy.

So I took up the denim challenge. (And it was! *laughs*) Creating jeans is not for the faint hearted. You see, using templates is not for me. I create from scratch. Call it stubborn, photoshop pride. I would make jeans without anything but my photoshop application and my imagination. Even the writing on my jeans is in my own hand.

What I received for my efforts was the deep satisfaction of knowing I created what my imagination told me could be and a line of jeans any derrière can be proud of!

Many thanks to my friends who tried on countless versions!( Maia, Solange, Raven, Skills, Jewell)  In truth, there were 76 versions, before we could all agree to be happy with the results. Solange and Maia were merciless! Maia: "The shading isn't right on my butt"  Solange: "It's too blurry. Work on fabric. More detail" Skills: "These are still rough version, right? Looks good for a start...less contrast in shading" etc. *laughs*In fact my friend Minerva  suggested I call them "76 Jeans". I wanted to scream,I wanted to quit a dozen times, but I am so glad I didn't! I paired my new jeans with my new tank, my alchemy necklace, and a black crocheted vest with enamel buttons that I whipped up on a whim.

Introducing G Jeans. Lots of flavors....always edgy, sexy....you.
