"mainLine" by caLLie cLine ••• preview available now!




i've been working day and night, well not really, but feels like it... and anyways, i wanted to give you all a bit of a lil sneak peak at my new men's brand "mainLine" which in my new sim, "caLLiefornia" will have it's own way cool shop... well more about that laters!

for NOW... here are just 3 things out at my shop in PLUSH LAMBDA (top of my pics)

they are...

black jeans
faded black ripped jeans
tintable sweater

all are mod, so the guys can make their jeans way baggy, like my old jean testing friend, 'billy geer' (ally's hubby) or super tight, like my model, in the pics... (gonna keep his name a secret for now) hehe.

anyway, the jeans come with my lil prim "button" which i love and adds that bit of "detail" and "dimension" you can't really get any other way! some ppl love em, other's don't care, but i wear them with my jeans all the time.

hope ya like!

caLLie for "mainLine"

new releases start now!


this week i'm gonna work hard at getting out some long sat on creations, from eyes, to dresses to shoes, to jewelry!!! lots of stuff comin' down the pike!

i've been so exicted by so much fun stuff happening in RL & SL and even the two have MET!!! but more on that laters ;) (shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh)

so for now, here's some "dark" jeans that i've had for a long time, i keep selling them via "im's" "caLLie i love your jeans, but do you have dark black???" response: "uh sure, want me to drop them on ya?"

SO I DELIVER TOO! hehe JUST KIDDING!

so here are my DARK black jeans... they are mod, so you can even give them a tint of grey if ya want them darker, but when you see them inworld i think you'll agree they are pretty dark.

yay! black jeans that go with, uh, BLACK and everything else too!

new photo shoot for OMG calendar... and a GREAT new build!!!



i decided to share a few pics i took of a photo shoot i did earlier for OMG magazine's calendar. OMG is a cool mag in SL that is growing in readership and covers everthing from guns, gadgets, music, racing and FASHION!!! yay!

they are also the "official" magazine of pontiac's motorati island, and korbin king, the editor has done a fine job managing the mag as it grows.

i'm wearing shorts and a shirt from my new store "tomboy" soon to open!!! yay, we've been working on it for a long time, tuli asturias and i, with jackal ennui who made some awesome stuff, and even six kennedy, made us some cool hair exclusively for the "tomboy" brand...

oh and also, i shot these pics at the new tableau, which is a MUST visit!!! i was driving thru in my real cool old truck, and i needed some gas AND... the pumps weren't working!!! so i was hoping to see someone drive by who could perhaps give me a bit of fuel to make it back to caLLiefornia!!! no one ever came, so... my truck is still there somewhere!!!

the new tableau iis really a fun build, desert like, dry, tumble weeds too, and little surprizes around every corner... i met a customer there, who showed me a shop hidden in a "meat locker" and really, it's so cool... you must go see it... also, it's the home of paper couture which is looking GREAT!

ok so here are the pics, i think one of them will be in the calendar, i'll let ya know when i know more!

christina rocks!!! must watch this

well what does this have to do with fashion??? well, just look at her... fashion perfection, hair, makeup, suit, OMG... what class... but is that why i'm posting this???

NO!!!

YOU MUST SEE THIS PERFOMANCE... this was from the recent grammy's... it knocked my socks off, moved me, and just made me so excited to see artists who not only have the TALENT...

BUT THE GUTS TO GET DANGEROUS AND POUR THEIR HEART AND SOUL INTO THEIR WORK...

i just can't tell you how much this moved me... i LOVE, LOVE, LOVE when artists (in any medium) give their all, take risks, and even though she hits a little "off note" one can't deny the amazing passion in this performance.

how i wish more artists did this... gutsy, amazing, and more.

it's inspired me to just go for it more in my work, RL and SL... and I HAD to share it with you all...

hope you enjoy.

••• the AVASTAR & caLLie cLine •••


I'm very excited to announce that I will be writing a weekly post for the "wonderful, exciting, fun, informative, and one of the coolest weekly publications in SL", the AVASTAR!!! www.the-avastar.com

At only 8 weeks old, the paper has over 60,000 readers already!!! The build is great, and I honestly could not be more excited. I've wanted to write for awhile, a little weekly thing, and this turned out to be a great match! I can write about whatever I want (to do with fashion) and so expect something different every week. From tips, new cool finds, mini-inteviews, secrets (shhhhh), makeovers and more, there should be something for all.

If you have any cool ideas, please shoot them my way... my column is yet to be named, but I have a few ideas ;)...

I really am excited to be working for such a cool and professional team and honored that this opportunity came my way! Thank you Regis Braathens!!!

Again, if there are topics you'd like to see covered, no matter how silly they may sound, LET ME KNOW!!!

Have a great day!!!

xoxo,

caLLie

SL fashion on YOU TUBE!!! paper couture • caLLie cLine • simone

here's the link to the you tube clip from the iVilllage fashion show on monday. i hope you all like it, i think it's pretty cool and i like how forseti made it.... i saw a LOT more than i did that day! and yes, that's the REAL life arianna huffington wearing my "limted edition" serendipity grace gown (i still have a few left cuz when i made them i was new and thought 100 was a "small" number, hehe)

i was honored that arianna wanted me to dress her, lol, wow, how funny is that? i've "officially" dressed a celebrity, hehe, that's so funny cuz i always think of the oscars or grammy's and joan rivers asking ppl, "who are you wearing???" and then telling them how pretty they look, then ripping them apart later, hahaha.

but i won't do that cuz i think both arianna and cider starbrook looked "lovely" wearing "me" hahaha.

how funny, yes, in SL, you can be anything you want, even a designer who dresses "celebrities", hehe.

which brings to mind the first "celebrity" i ever met in SL, "celebrity trollop" at hair faire last year, when i was just starting out!!! she was there too and looking beautiful as always.

anyway, hope you all enjoy the clip..

xoxo,

caLLie

p.s. new stuff from the show will be released this week!!! yay! some in time for valentine's day!

iVillage Fashion Show ••• fun, festive, fabulouS!!!!


wow, all i can say is WHAT A WEEK!!! AND WHAT AN AWESOME SHOW THIS WAS!!! now that my jitters are over, and nerves are calmed, i wanted to take a moment to post some pics i was able to snap BEFORE i CRASHED!!

well, i don't know where to start... it was just overall an amazingly fun experience, exhausting and exciting!

i've posted the best pics i had, and there are also great pics on the second style blog, and the aspire blog... and links in the comments to even more pics. there is also a show review at www.secondlifeherald.com which is nice and has some great pics too.

i really enjoyed every design by my fellow designers who were showing, and i think what was cool was we all are so different in our styles and it was a great mix to see, from what i heard from the crowd, they agreed.

it was a lot of fun working with aspire on this, bianca darling, could NOT have been more wonderful to work with, same with the ivillage team, the level of professionalism was unprecidented, and i just can't say how enjoyable the entire experience was.

everyone, the models, desigers, builders, and hosts were just so gracious and fun to be with. i really count this as one of my SL highlights. and to see people showing up at 9am (sl time) (10 hours early) for a seat, added immensely to the excitement AND jitters!

here's a little collection of the photos i took... i regret not having any of simone's designs, which were so fun and lovely, but after crashing a few times, i was afraid to take another photo, so make sure to look at the above blogs to see her great stuff!!!

thanks to everyone who helped me prepare for this show... who encouraged me to do it, helped with ideas, pushed me, (i was super nervous) and who gave their support in so many ways... from flowers to kind notes, i can't tell you how much your support meant, so to, shane hornet, kiana dulce, tuli asturias, aradia dielli, bianca darling, ally geer, simone stern, cider starbrook, and my amazing customers who were so encouraging, thank you so much.

i'll be releasing my new outfits, shoes and accesories shown at this show very soon.

oh and a VERY SPECIAL THANKS to jackal ennui of "lassitude & ennui" for her amazing work and collaboration on my new monogram shoes, and jewelry, and a special thanks to livie galileo for her wonderful work on my new monogram boots. you both are wonderful.

enjoy the pics!!!

xoxo,
