I was having my morning coffee with Gogo and we were talking about our MUST HAVE list from THE ARCADE this round. Nearly at the same time, we said “Tres Blah”.
What is it about the nicknacks from Tres Blah that inspire frenzy in some of us? The dainty cuteness? I don’t even know, but I do know that there hasn’t been a round that I didn’t get AT LEAST some of the pieces to her sets. I’m mixing an matching stuff from the new COTTAGE DU JOUR with older pieces, as she is thoughtful enough to coordinate them gently.
The Arcade opens tomorrow, and I’m on the hunt for her rares now.
What are you looking forward to this round of The Arcade?
All furnishings: Tres Blah for THE ARCADE
Settee, table, phone, daisies, fireplace, bonjour sign – avail THIS ROUND !
So Gidge and I were going to go fishing for walleye, the Minnesota state fish. I don’t know if you can see it clearly, but that is a Minnesota boat, you can tell by the license. Walleye are the most delicious fish that have ever been eaten by anyone ever in the history of all mankind. That’s a fact. So, I am eager to get cracking and toss that line in the water. But where is Gidge?
Arcade opens on the 1st and that means I have to make sure my affairs are in order. Rent is paid. Groceries purchased. I put on my sensible walking shoes and set out to stock up on the supplies that a pixel girl needs to make her world go round. This way I am ready to stock up on the supplies that a pixel girl WANTS to make her world go round.
I am ready Arcade. Let’s do this.

I keep my lunch in it. Is that wrong?
This new crazy and fun hair (that the sushi IS optional with) is going to be at THE ARCADE oh in just DAYS! Can you believe Arcade is almost here! I kind of love this hair, it reminds me a lot of the days when people made silly things just because they could. Arcade always brings back a lot of the whimsy of my early days of SL to me.
I’m also showing off the amazing group gift from PINK FUEL. Why are you not in this update group? Seriously she included SLINK Appliers? HOW freaking generous is that? Eyes, lips skin and appliers just as a thank you for being in her group. Mochi is so generous, she amazes.
It’s not too late to run over to MY ATTIC to check out everything that’s new over there, this skirt and tank from LACUNA are a pretty summer look.
That’s all for me, but I’m going out for Japanese for lunch, that’s for sure.
Later pretties!

I used to work with a girl whose mother was a very pale, freckled Irish redhead. Her father was a black as night Colombian. Finding makeup with a nightmare for her. Her skin tone was dark but pale, and everything looked wrong. I remember when her tone of foundation was discontinued, she was distraught.
You see a lot of complaining in SL about dark skin tones, or the lack thereof, but at least it’s not a problem we MUST live with. We can try new things, branch out, and flip into different colors on a whim.
In SL, we are whatever color we want to be, which is a luxury ladies of color do not have in RL. Continue reading
I stopped off at Paradiso, an enchanting sim that closes on May 30th. This is a sim where you can imagine meeting fairies, unicorns and other ethereal creatures. I, however, was very substantial in this lovely halter top from [NV] and skirt from Maitreya.
I love this sim, so very beautiful and romantic. I used the sim’s regional settings for the pictures, however they left my avatar completely in the dark, so I attached a projector to illuminate myself – not a face light, mind you – a projector with a light leak texture to complement the sim’s colors. I spent far too much trying to figure out which direction the projector was pointing before remembering that I had deselected “Render Attached Lights” long ago to avoid being blinded by other people’s face lights. Once I remembered that, it was good to go.
MY ATTIC has been a spectacular event for my three day weekend this time around. If you are ready to plunge head in to summer and appreciate the vintage styling of the pinup look, you need to run grab up the goodies.
Fishy Strawberry completed my lust for new beachwear with this retro sailor look, available in three colors. Continue reading
I wanted a weekend getaway and Cay’s at Woodland Lake was having a weekend long party – so it was JUST the place to getaway! I found just the right thing to wear too at Mon Cheri…. this long, casual dress is just the thing to make you feel relaxed for a party on the docks.

I hadn’t logged into SL in about 7 days, I’ve been busy and dealing with RL shit. Anywho, I realized that my tier was probably due and figured I should log in and do something about that. I also remembered that MINA put out a fabulous hair that screamed “HYBIE” and tped over to the MY ATTIC event over at the deck. I’m sure everyone and their mom has blogged it but…I don’t give a crap 😀 Here it is again.
