Diminished Seventh

Weds_003

There is something calming about the Blues. I don’t know why, but I’ve always found the mourning of lost loves and songs about sadness to have a mellowing effect.

I grew up in a town with one of the best blues bars you’ll find anywhere, the Slippery Noodle Inn. The Noodle was perfect for both the end and beginning of your night, or for an evening when you just want to listen to good music and hang out with your friends. Continue reading

Two Looks Not One

Shiki is back with a gorgeous new gown that, whether Shinichi Mathy planned it or not, works perfectly as a long or short dress. Working with system layers and flexes, Mathy’s doing it old school, but with skill that never gets old. The Osbcurus dress can be worn short with this pouf of fabric in a short and sassy outfit.  Continue reading

zombie glitter pants

This is another look, well, HALF a look I put together from my Objects Folder – Blogger challenge. I say half because some of these items are new to me. The skin, pants, eyes and top were all hiding in my objects folder. The skin was apparently a Halloween gift from Glam Affair and it reminds me of a zombie. It has cool veins poking through.

what do you do with the sad in you

What do you do when you feel down to help you feel good again? I curl up around Lord of the Rings (book version), send my husband out to get me snacks and coffee, whine incessantly to whomever will listen, and think about how much my life sucks… I let myself do that for a few hours, and then I have the strength to get on with it again.

Another thing I do is dress up my avatar all pretty and take photos. I did an all-black dressup a few days ago, and decided that this one would be all white. I’m wearing some terribly old things in the mix, but they’re still beautiful. (Come baaack, Scribble!)

Objects Folder – Blogger Challenge

Last night I decided I had some time on my hands, the boy child was sleeping, the S.O went to a movie, I had finished watching “Girls” so I thought “what the hell”, I’m going to organize my OBJECTS folder. Now, on my old avatar this never happened, but on my newer avie I like to keep things clean. Two days ago I freaked out because my inventory had inched passed 20k and this is unacceptable.

While in the throws of cleaning out my OBJECTS folder I noticed I had a lot of skins, make-ups, clothing etc that I had never opened. Perhaps, I bought things and forgot they were there or some were groups gifts or blogger copies I forgot to open. Either way, I opened them and thought “hmm, this would make an interesting blogger challenge”.  I tried on everything that I had never opened and put together from those things a look that worked well together.

I offer you this same challenge. Old or new, it does not matter, find things unopened in your OBJECTS folder and make it work.

Musical Sunday

jan19_004

I have prepped my set for this morning, Jazz brought to you by the letter J at The Velvet from 9 to 11 AM. Yes, I am that silly person who will fill a two hour set of music with John Coltrane, Illinois Jacquet, Etta James and J.J. Johnson just because their first or last names start with J. Still, it’s a great set of classic jazz by fabulous artists and who knew there were so many Js? I will be wearing this fabulous gown from Kunglers that makes me feel like a jazz chanteuse with its slinky, glittery shapely style. It comes in several colors with different textures for the skirt from this light-hearted green with the circles to a wild red print, purple stripes and some much more restrained art deco gold, silver and black.
