Down at the Sea Hole

Decades could pass without there being a night to rival this one. Years had infact, since these two, in one form or another, had been together last. In the world as is was now - such things could happen. One had remained in the city most nights, causing trouble and looking after her cat. The other, well, it was her story to tell, and it would unfold through time. One thing had not changed though the intervening years, despite deaths, possessions, insanity and a desire to shop.

That night, it had been all about the 1950s. An amusing remembrance for one, perhaps a first time thrill for the other as she pulled on the ruffled silk and net layers of the full flared skirt. Hair high, heels higher, and with Spot for company, they would find a dive somewhere in town with a swinging beat, and dance till dawn.

Oh, as much as I loved shopping for this - I am more saddened at the impending closure of the store the beautiful items came from. The Sea Hole est. 2008 will be closing at the end of May 2013. Over the years creator Drinkinstein Sorbet - who also has one of the best names I've seen in SL - has created really really beautiful clothes. The colour palate is one of muted elegance, with an occasional sidestep into summer brights. Classic tailoring and style are the norm - with a crazy sprinkling of haute couture madness thrown in - check out the Octo-dress. I can't claim any knowledge of the reasons behind the closure, but can only wish Drinkinstein the best - and as is my usual selfish way - keep my fingers crossed for a return someday.

Until then - you have until the end of May to get to The Sea Hole and pick up some bargains as items have been reduced to L$ 50 each. Here, Cadence and I are wearing the Lorette Mesh skirts from the Gatcha - L$125. Cadence is in Crimson, and I'm wearing it in Enchanted Pool.
