The RL conspired to keep me off the grid most of the weekend. Which is just as well because RL>SL yet, I missed my virtual piece of sanity. So I enjoyed wrapping up my Sunday evening with a little relaxation in my new Lazy Ass Pajamas from A:S:S – literally Pho – the grid needs more pajamas that don’t make you look like a 20 dollar hooker. Well done. Continue reading
[]===23ww34! Oscar says “hello” as he butts his head and purrs in my ear. I felt like purring myself when I read the lovely post from Chalice Carling called The Givers of SL. Thank you so much, Chalice. Gidge and I are both very grateful.
So I am under the weather today, enough so that looking at the computer makes me dizzy. So this is going to be short and sweet. The mesh dress is from Vero Moderno. Love it. It looks good without the shoulder puff attachments too. Really love the bracelets from Goucci. They are color-change. I wish they were resizable. They just barely fit. They are no mod, and the script only changes color, not size. But I love the silver and white boldness.
I was absolutely taken back in time with the set of retro furniture released by Barnesworth Anubis for Collabor88.
My own Uncle George, the mecca of style and culture from my childhood, owned almost EXACTLY this furniture.
He’d designed and built a house, with a proper formal double parlour. One half of the room was southwestern, with lots of amazing things from his trips to Mexico displayed all over. The other half though, was this amazing post modern blue and white SQUARE funiture.
Paired with bleached blonde wood (allegedly from Sweden) he even had a blonde piano in that half of the room. The furniture was leather, but felt like glossy plastic. As though someone had made furniture out of patent leather shoes, yet it was in fact true leather. He polished it every week with a special product he had shipped in from somewhere.
This wasn’t lounging furniture. This was sitting up properly and visiting after dinner furniture. Or receiving guests furniture. Or listening to the piano being played furniture.
The animals WERE NOT allowed on the furniture.
I suppose that accounts for my small rebellion above. I hope he forgives me.
So because of Barnesworth Anubis, I had a stroll down memory lane. It made me a little teary and a little happy. I wish I had that damn furniture now.

The April Issue of AVENUE Magazine is out on news stands now. You can find it in-world on at Issuu.com. This was a busy month for me as I wrote three articles for the magazine.

This adorable little sweater dress from Bowtique is so sweet with its peppermint pink striped inset down the front, the double row of ribbons and the pink pearl buttons. However, it is saved from being saccharine thanks to a sharp, flat collar and the ribbed selvage at the bottom. If that collar had been rounded and if there were a ruffled skirt, this dress would rot your teeth. Instead, it satisfies your sweet tooth without causing any cavities.
There’s so much today, that I had my five before I even began browsing feed.There’s a video preview of Fantasy Faire that is stunning, a great Disney Bound post and info on an advertising campaign you might be interested in.
I’ve always believed that in Second Life it doesn’t need to be Halloween to dress like a complete weirdo. In fact, I’m constantly browsing the marketplace for bizarre things to put on my avatar. It’s fun! I dress like boring person out here in the real world (although that will be changing soon since I’ve made a new friend who makes her own clothes and is currently making me a super cute dress) so I like to get creative here in SL.
I love Rock and Roll almost as much as Joan Jett does. I am feeling particularly rock and roll today in this rockin’ outfit from Gizza with a boost from Baistice and MiaMai. Gizza’s Anarchy outfit includes sleeveless mesh tees that can be worn for a bit more coverage and a leather biker cap. It’s a hot rock outfit, with glam elements such as the quilted leather skirt and the gold chain belt. I wanted to add to the glam, though, so I added a jacket from Baiastice full of gold studs. It comes in several colors and I was tempted to go for black, but decided I like the use of silver with gold.
I was scrolling through the feeds this morning while drinking my coffee and realized I’d noted two posts to look at later for shopping, therefore I was almost to a fast five. Thus, I bring you the Fast Five from Gidge inspired by my morning coffee shopping time.
1. The Blues-Ish The gradient blue in this picture caught my eye immediately. I love FreeStyle and still use it as a catalog of places to shop that provide quality free or inexpensive items.
2. Beautiful Life: I only like poses that appear to be mid-motion. I’m weird like that. Sam Laszlo’s post has some great pics that truly look like avatars caught mid-joy. Love the looks too. Continue reading
