New York- a wedding ensemble
9/11/01

How clearly I remember that day. And how clear the day was. Beautiful, stark blue, not a cloud in the sky. As an astronomer, you notice those things.

When I first saw the fires burning, I was incredulous. I kept thinking, how the heck are they going to get firefighters all the way up those levels to fight the blaze? Helicopters? Huge cranes? Impossible helplessness started to creep into my heart.

Then, when the first tower fell, we were incredulous. We didn't just see what we saw?!

Later in the day, a step outside revealed a long black plume of smoke and dust that trailed for fifty miles... the smell was indescribable, a combination of hot dust, metal and plastic burning and God knows what else.

I will never forget that day.

In commemoration of that sad day, Celestial Designs brings to you an uplifting dream of hope. This ensemble is as edgy as the city of New York, but sophisticated enough to wear in any Second Life town for your nuptials.

A super ruffly, double skirt in an icy satin. An oblique-cut blouse. Over the elbow gloves with bow accents. A frosty white pillbox hat with a veil attached. Delicate little sandals complete this outfit. This is New York. This is the heart of the city. Wear this one on your wedding day, or just around some of your favorite places. I find it turns heads wherever you go.
