About

“I’ve got a beautiful red dress
And you’d look really good
standing beside it..
I’ve got some beautiful new red shoes
and they look so fine
I’ve got a hundred and five fever
and it’s high tide….

Well push my button baby here I come”

~ Laurie Anderson, “Beautiful Red Dress”

Second Life bon vivant, business woman, and builder, Harper Beresford is the owner of one sim–Avant Garde, virtual photographer, art collector, jewelry-maker, builder, poet, reader, writer, cultural anthropologist, model, flirt, and friend. I also write for Harper’s Bizarre and wrote about Arts and Architecture for SLNN.com. I have shown SL photography in RL in Berlin, Florence, and San Francisco as well as published in Architectural Digest in Italy. I have also published academic writing about SL. I was Co-Lead for SL7B and for Fashion for Life.

Photos taken for the blog are, for the most part, untouched in Photoshop except for the addition of drop shadows–1. because I am not very good at PS, 2. because it’s time-consuming and I am full of blogs I want to show, and 3. because I think the fashions should be shown as they are in Second Life. Most of them are so beautiful, it would be wrong to alter them. So I may correct an oddness on the avatar but for the most part, I won’t do a lot.

* A star behind any item indicates it was received as a gift from a designer. It may have come as a review copy or just a gift. This is just to be up front about what I have received as gifts and what I haven’t. I reserve the right to review an item on the blog if I receive it. Not all I receive is blogged nor is all I blog received.
