I am uncommonly good at waiting. I do not know why; I do not have any particular fondness for delayed gratification. I would just as soon never have to wait at all. Nonetheless, I have so many ways to make the time pass that waiting does not bother me. I usually bring a book to read everywhere I go in case there are unanticipated delays. Sometimes there are delays long enough that I finish the book, but I still have distractions. I watch people going by and compose descriptions of them. I try to note all the details, the type of clothing, the fabrics and patters, the hair, makeup and accessories. You should try it sometime. It is an entertaining way to people watch. Sometimes, I get caught out staring, so I simply smile and say something like “I was admiring your scarf, is it silk?”

There are some fashion events coming soon and I have been waiting and waiting and waiting. One, Collabor88, opens in an hour. The other, Penumbra’s Spring/Summer Fashion Week opens on May 16th. While waiting for Collabor88 to open, I am taking a bath, listening to Art Pepper playing saxophone and hoping my candles do not set my curtains alight.

One of the highlights at Collabor88 already is this broken chair in the foreground. It is from {and} that contains several poses and animations. The quality of the animations and poses is amazing and you will see that in another post that I already shot but have not uploaded to Flickr yet. I figured I better wear some clothes when I am posing in the chair.

Another lovely item from Collabor88 is the gorgeous necklace from LaGyo. There are matching earrings or ear cuff and the sets come in several lovely pastels that match the “Into the Light” theme for May.  This bathtub, by the way, is from Pixel Mode. I got it at the March Arcade. It does not come with rose petals. I made this using a free texture I got from here. I erased the white background and made it alpha to let the water show through and made a composite of four copies of it so the petals were small enough and stuck it on a prim. I tried to put it on marketplace as a free gift, but even though the Merchant Outbasket said my upload was successful – SIX TIMES – it never showed up in marketplace listings. However, if you want it, just drop me an IM and I will drop it on you.

My hair is from Exile for this month’s Collabor88 as well. Also at Collaobor88, the gorgeous mani/pedi from Nylon Outfitters but they are hidden in the shadows. You can click the link and see the vendor picture.  Adam & Eve released new skin called Gina for the new Lelutka heads. I am wearing Karin. I chose the makeup, shadow and lipstick from Adam ^ Eve first and then used the Lelutka Karin hud to make them a lighter shade.

And here I am posing in the gorgeous chair from anc. before getting dressed.
