Waiting For The Bus


I rarely to never do a Look Of The Day type post simply because 90% of my SL is log in, shoot, log out. So I never actually bother to dress FOR me anymore.
But I’m trying to change that and actually see other cartoon humans, and in keeping with that I went about shopping with a couple of my best friends the other night.
Yeah I know – OUT OF THE STUDIO AND EVERYTYHING. Continue reading

Scarlet

Vero Moderno Red

Oh, I do love scarlet, that reddest of reds. The one that cost poor Jezebel her fiance, though what did her father after he named her Jezebel? Does anyone name their daughter Jezebel? The name, forever linked the infamous Phoenician, is usually used as a epithet, not as a name. The name does not exactly have a happy history though it does give you a reason to use the word defenestration. Too bad there wasn’t an opposition press at the time to give us an alternate since her story is so one-sided and partisan that it exemplifies the concept of history being written by the winners. No matter how you feel about Bette Davis’ Jezebel or the original one, you have to love the scarlet red Puma dress from Vero Moderno.

Gidge's Love List:The Good Blondes – PART 1


One of my biggest frustrations around the grid is that some people just make the crappiest blondes on the earth. I don’t know why, maybe blonde is harder to texture than the other colors.
I also know I’m picky, so it’s possible that these blondes are ok and I’m just a snotty princess.
But, I know that all you die hard bloganistas out there are dead set in your likes and dislikes and I admit – this is one of mine.
Cajsa struggles to find that color of RED that is her hearts desire. I am constantly on the look out for new stores that make blonde that is worth a crap.
So many are too brassy. Full bright is on and you can’t turn it off. Some are YELLOW and scary.
Blonde comes in many shades and hues, some found in nature some found in a bottle.
But they can all be beautiful if done right.
So I thought I’d share with you my favorite stores for blonde hair. And yeah, this is gonna take a while, because in terms of blogging it’s not a short list.
In terms of the grid – it’s an INCREDIBLY short list. And – fair warning – it’s only stores that I know of.
To start off – see above – yeah it’s Truth. Continue reading

Short Dress Is Short – And Pretty

“A Man Can Be Happy With Any Woman As Long As He Does Not Love Her.”

-Oscar Wilde

After a morning of frustration and trying to make the grid my servant I gave up and hoped that I could at least shoot a cute dress or something.

Turns out, MAGOA had sent me a few cute dresses or something.

The WILD AT HEART dress is perfect for winter with it’s muted tones and refreshing fun texture. Continue reading

Mechanical Toy Factory

Mechanical Toy Factory

I love it when folks send me a landmark for a new place to explore. Sissy Pessoa of Baiastice knows my love of exploring since I frequently offer to TP her to see this or that place I want to show off. The other night she sent me a LM, and before I even got to exploring, I found this little alcove in front of the Mechanical Toy Factory store. I got so engrossed in shooting pictures, I forgot to go into the store until the next time I logged in.

The dress is a silver leather dress from Pequ with gorgeous zipper piping to add visual interest.

A heavy winter rain


Happy Monday!  Yep, it’s Acha again, for another installation of Manly slightly-more-male-than-usual Monday.  I generally like to accessorize my boy avatar with pretty women for this post, and today’s is no exception.  He’s in the 52 weeks of color challenge tint, Indigo, adorned with an awesome SL friend.  Creamy and I have been posting together since I was a callow noob, and somehow she still seems to enjoy it!  She always shows off some lovely free stuff too, so poke through her credits and pick up the goodness.  Have a great day, everyone, and I’m going to enjoy my holiday by holing up with a book and staring at the rain…

Another photo and outfit credits after the cut.
