Chilly Evening

I grabbed a cute dress I picked up at Shop & Hop and headed out Christmas shopping this fine Friday evening. I was a little underdressed for the weather, but luckily cold doesn’t bother me much.

I seriously love this dress. It’s a fun style plus the holiday print is absolutely a win. The snowy weather is giving me the chills though, finally. I love winter but dang I don’t love dressing for it. You just can’t make me!

Would it even be a blog post if I didn’t find someplace to eat? This place seems to be in the midst of a blizzard because even though I’m under shelter it’s still snowing in here. But the food is delicious and I can’t complain at all. Beef? I love it!

I have to get home and warm up soon though, a girl could get frostbite in this weather.

Christmas Fries

I’ve been missing from the grid for several weeks due to an internet issue that was blocking me from accessing. We got an upgrade and suddenly I couldn’t connect. Annoying, let me tell you.

But eventually I landed back in my house and found Christmas in full swing which means it’s time to decorate and get SUPER happy. I love Halloween but right behind that is the wintery joy that Christmas brings, even to my island paradise.

I picked up this hilarious Elf Fries from Junk Food. It’s the time of year for the silliest of treats and you know I’m here for it.

What’s your methodology for Shop & Hop? Do you go to it? I have a strict rule of always walking in the same direction with either my left or right shoulder facing the shops. I just keep going until I finally get back to wherever I started – if I can remember where that is, of course.

I messed up the other day and when I logged in I chose to log in at home, which meant I had no idea where I’d left off. Oooops. It’s so overwhelming and huge. I’m also not a fan of booths with too much brown. Bad textures are bleh but omg when everything is brown I’m just so done. I know that’s probably silly, but we all have our thing, don’t we?

Now I post this pic with lots of brown because my likes are duplicitous and without reason.

But besides that, I’m back! YAY!

Bell Hop

I headed over to New Orleans for a night or two but the place is in complete disarray. Not the sort of “there are beads, trash and pee everywhere” disarray that one might normally expect in such a place but rather, just trashed. There seemed to be a lot of random people wandering aimlessly too. I’m not sure what exactly is going on, really.

I was excited for a delicious drink from one of my favorite creators – FLAIR from the Halloween Shop and Hop. Do you LOVE Shop and Hop? I legitimately do. I got this adorable hair stick there too.

True story I love hair sticks and was actually introduced to them in SL as an accessory, so I covet them in both lives.

Speaking of Shop and Hop – I’m not done there! Time to get walking…

Surfside Sunday

I know your feeds have been awash with black and orange and blood and guts the past two weeks, and I’ll probably contribute some but today was just too perfect not to hit the beach.

If you can, you should.

I can, so I did.

My entire ass is hanging out of this bikini. I was very popular at the beach, lemme tell you.

Happy Sunday, I’m looking forward to the ghoulish, creepy holiday coming up. What is your costume? I JUST got mine. I’m pretty excited! No I won’t tell, not yet!

Let’s make it a great week girls.

Motown Bound

I’ve been away for a while as the RL has whisked me off to a new world and a new life but now that I’m settled I decided to hop back onto the grid to see what’s new and exciting.

And then I promptly sat down and couldn’t figure out what to do. Can you believe it? I was stumped. Then I remembered a couple of weeks ago Gogo went over to the Motown build and I decided to go see if it was still there! It is. I don’t know if they’ll be having more events there but they were playing fun tunes and it was cool to walk around and check it out.

I want this car to drive around! Alas this one was just a prop – which is sad. Anyone know where I can get one of these? It’s perfection.

The build is right next to an info hub, so I will tell you it’s got more naked people bonking around that one might expect at a normal build, but it’s still pretty cute.

I got there in time to take in a movie and have some dinner. The chairs were not really very comfy but I can’t complain about a free movie!

I was starving again after the movie so I grabbed another snack. SNACKING IS MY LIFE!!

Let’s talk about the elephant in the room now. Those weird blank lines around my waist on this dress. It’s weird, I know. I don’t even know where I got this dress. I think it was a freebie at some event and so consequently I’m not really gonna complain about a free dress I picked up.

I drank this entire bottle of vodka

But, it is wonky. Let’s just be real.

Have you been to the Motown build? What did you participate in? What did you like?

Just a Snack

Today I set out to do some exploring and found a lovely little restaurant serving amazing treats for those who ventured inside. I grabbed a vanilla shake, not intending to stay long but was soon coerced into making my stay good for lunch too.

I started with my pie rather than my burger. CAN YOU EVEN BLAME ME? I mean look at these servings. I wanted to make sure I got the pie in before I bothered with the burger. a burger is a burger but a pie, man alive a pie is life.

I confess that I did not eat all of either thing but then wandered over to their ice cream offering where not only did I find a cupcake for sale that definitely appealed but then of course there was the question of the ice cream itself. I might die of diabetes at this rate but at least I’ll die happy.

I wandered around a bit and lucked into finding a little farmers market so I grabbed some necessary supplies before heading home. How was your Sunday? I hope it was filled with beautiful things!

Monday Barbie Hard at Work

Monday Barbie has a lot to do today. So I grabbed a cup of inspiration and decided to get to it nice and early today. I grabbed these new shoes over at GOS and geez any time I stop in there I just want one of everything. I’m clearly going back soon.

Do you like Mondays? I am ambivalent. Some people get very sideways about this day but for me, it’s just another day where I have things to do. I don’t think too much about them vs. any other day of the week honestly.

All pink day called for my pink convertible to take me to my destination. I was bad and bought four new cars this weekend. Hey – they were on sale! They weren’t even all pink!

I swear!

Hope your day was as amazing as mine. Life in plastic. It’s fantastic.

FLF Birthday Bash is Your Must Do Event

I spent my early afternoon roaming wildly through the offerings at the Fifty Linden Friday birthday bash and truly there is something for everyone. Stereotypical Barbie? Dark Moody Barbie? Which Barbie are you? There is something for all of our dolls there, whether it’s home decor, props to wear or the usual – clothes/hair/skin/etc.

I probably spent too much. But in my usual way of course I sought out something to eat because I’m a hungry pixel doll. Junk Food has an oyster dispenser for you lot who enjoy eating oysters. I personally am not that keen but I still had to pick it up because I love eating in my Second Life.

I’m a piggie what can I say?

FLF birthday bash also had food trucks but alas I couldn’t get the one to make me a pizza – I am sure due to the lag involved some of their functionality had to be removed. They left the pop dispenser though ! YAY!

You have no idea how carefully I positioned that handle bar for this photo. I forgot to wear panties. OOOPS.

It is nice that they offer bikes for us to bop around in. I ran over many shoppers. SORRY. I’m a bad driver, what can I say?

Eventually my dreams came true and a food truck at the other end had steak tacos. Finally, a meal! Perfect shopping plus food – can this day get any better? I think not.

There are people who would tell you not to shoot in front of backdrops or objects that give you an alpha halo. I’m not one of those people. Even things that are not “quite right” can be so pretty. I love the sky here at the FLF Birthday event, it’s really lovely.

Check out the FLF birthday event now through Sept 1 for some amazing additions to your digital doll’s life!

You can take this TAXI to get there!
