Something new

Okay, that’s a silly title, perhaps, for a blog that spends so much time on new fashion in SL.  But here “something new” doesn’t just refer to this lovely group gift from Petite Mort!

  • Petite Mort — Tiedye Maillot (Group gift, 2016/07)

Tiedye Maillot is comes in standard sizes, plus Slink, Maitreya, and standard fitmesh.  I love fitmesh, and Petite Mort‘s does not disappoint.

You see, I had not heard the word “maillot” before, so I had to go and look it up.  It turns out it’s another name for a tank suit, or one-piece swim suit.  Who knew?  Well, plenty of people, but for me, it was something new.   What really caught my eye was the wikipedia article, which reported that a ‘tank suit’ is so called because it was a suit to wear in a swimming tank — i.e., a swimming pool.

Malliot_c004And a tank-top?  According to the Online Etymology Dictionary, a tank top is named for a tank suit — named for the pool in which you’d use it.  And that’s something else that I didn’t know.

Now, don’t you feel smarter?  Good, then go over to Petite Mort, because their goodies are gorgeous.

Hey, this is my one-hundredth post!  How about that?   Mahalo!  A hui hou!
