Greetings fellow fashionistas! Jane Austen, in her book, Northanger Abbey, wrote of her main character, Catherine Morland:

"At fifteen, appearances were mending; she began to curl her hair and long for balls; her complexion improved, her features were softened by plumpness and colour, her eyes gained more animation, and her figure more consequence. Her love of dirt gave away to inclination for finery, and she grew clean as she grew smart. To look almost pretty, is an acquisition of higher delight to a girl who has been looking plain the first fifteen years of her life, than a beauty from her cradle can ever imagine."

For me after being in Second Life for over four years, this passage I feel describes me to a "t"; growing and changing with the times to become the virtual person that I am today.

I've been a long time fan of fashion/fashion design and have several favorite designers in SL that I hope to showcase here for you to view. So bear with this writer as we begin our adventure into the "higher delight".
