A Black and White View of Last Call

Much has been said about Ginny Talamasca’s untimely passing.

I choose to ignore the snide, petty remarks made by the small minded who have never and will never contribute anything to Second Life. Instead, I honour Ginny in this small way.

I never had the chance to meet Ginny at all, but his loss is keenly felt. You can feel his presence in Last Call to this day and in the beautifully crafted clothes they made. My dear friend Pushy said it best

[2007/11/13 9:58] Pushy Fitzgerald: And you have to think, With Last Call, his soul is really in those things since he made them

For the Ginny that passed and the Ginny who now is, this tiny fashion tribute and a beautiful poem from the Tang Dynasty is sincerely dedicated.

"Looking at the Moon and Thinking of One Far Away"

The moon, grown full now over the sea,
Brightening the whole of heaven,
Brings to separated hearts
The long thoughtfulness of night…
It is no darker though I blow out my candle.
It is no warmer though I put on my coat.
So I leave my message with the moon,
And turn to my bed, hoping for dreams.

Two of my favourite outfits are from Last Call, one black the other white.

Damara is perfect for clubbing, its sensuous lines highlighting the wearer’s shape with the Astrea coin belt serving as an usual eye catching accent. Shoes are LC Vamp's Ines in Black by Lyra Muse.

Kerry is a little more dressy. Slightly more reserved compared to Damara’s playfulness when paired with Armidi Gisaci Vidalia pumps in Metallic Giltz and AG's Gordie bag in white leather it fairly screams fashionista!

With an absolutely fabulous Chinchilla fur by Hex's Xellessanova Zenith, you have a look reminiscent of Miranda Priestly (the Meryl Streep character in wickedly funny The Devil Wears Prada, supposedly based on the legendary Anna Wintour). Black and white, playful and reserved, these two outfits are yin and yang…a tribute to the Ginny Talamasca that made Last Call the most prominent name in Haute Couture and to the Ginny Talamasca who now is Last Call….
