Cajsa Fast Five: March 15th

3 Replies

Fast Five Today is the eventful in a different sense of the word. It’s full of events, so perhaps it’s “eventfull.” There’s the opening of Skin Fair and The Boutique, the deadline for the hottest photo contest in town, and Fashion For Life moving toward its too-soon closing on Sunday. And that’s not all!

  1. The Magic of Oz and the Frustration of Mesh: Carrie Lexington muses about the changes mesh has brought to Second Life and it’s not what you think. She has an interesting perspective and one that many will identify with.  Continue reading →

Fast FiveIf it were not tacky to highlight something from our own blog, I would tell you to read Gidge’s 7 Facts or Opinions for Berry’s meme because it is honest and funny as hell, but it probably is tacky, so I won’t tell you to GO NOW and READ Gidge’s 7 Facts or Opinions.

  1. Whiskey Monday: The Connecting: 365 SL Lives project is a wonderful glimpse into the people we encounter in Second Life. I have admired Whiskey Monday’s art and writing and love getting her perspective on SL, how she experiences it and what it means to her.

Who Knows Where the Time Goes?

I love the high fashion style of this black and white striped dress with the big shoulder epaulettes from InMonster for Fashion For Life. I prefer clothes that don’t make the alpha go all the way to the edges, it make shots from anything but a straight angle difficult. Of course, many designers do alphas right to the edge because shoppers get irritated at having to tweak the slide even one notch. For me, I would rather tweak that notch and not have little gaps. There are none showing, but from the back, if you are at the wrong angle, you see the yawning emptiness of alpha along the very bottom of the dress. Still, I love its style and it looks good from most angles. I love how the sleeve stripes go the opposite of the dress stripes. 

Who knows where the time goes? Take today for example, it’s 4:30 and all I have accomplished is shooting these blog pics. I have not even done my Fast Five yet. Where did it go? To chatting on plurk, browsing the news, reading about the new Pope and other dithering. Speaking of time going, Fashion For Life is halfway through, so it’s time to make an effort to go there and help support American Cancer Society. In the fight against cancer, the time goes far too fast.

Across the morning sky, all the birds are leaving
But how can they know it’s time for them to go?
Before the winter fire, we’ll still be dreaming
I do not count the time

For who knows where the time goes?
Who knows where the time goes?

Seven Facts

The top and skirt from Tee*fy are emblematic of the New Romance theme at this month’s Collabor88. I could not resist the oh-so-feminine fishnet gloves from Adore & Abhor. They are old, but they are wonderful.

Berry has asked for folks to participate in her Seven SL Facts Meme and as they saying goes, “Let no good meme go unpublished,” so here goes.

1. I own the same 512 sm piece of land I bought back in 2007 when I joined SL. It’s on the Linden Ocean and I will never let it go.

2. One of my favorite things to do in SL is playing in the ocean with my 1L sailboat I bought at Enkythings my first week in SL.

Sassy at Fashion for Life

There is so much that is smart about this lovely dress from Sassy! for Fashion for Life. For one thing, it is made in two pieces, as a top and a skirt so it can be worn separately and mixed and matched. For another, the chevron shape of the band is flattering and sexy as all get out. For another, the weave of the fabric is gorgeous and I love the light and dark threads. Continue reading →

Dream Visitors

I was about 10 minutes late starting my DJ set on Monday night. I took a nap before the set and lingered in one of those waking dreams where you are mostly awake, but hang onto that dream because you really don’t want to let go. It was a bizarre dream. I was grocery shopping with my mother and searching frantically for some barbecue sauce to make some short ribs while my mom stood in one spot insisting “I would be happy with just a turnip.” It’s not the sort of dream one would cling to, except Mom died in 2006 and it was good to see her, even if she just wanted a turnip. Today is Mother’s Day in the UK and I am seeing Happy Mother’s Day wishes on my timeline and thinking of Mom. I am glad I get to see her from time to time, even in silly dreams with turnips.

Day to Night

When we can change clothes with a click of button, carrying our entire closet with us wherever we go, we aren’t burdened with the challenge of trying to dress for the office and a date with one outfit. However, I thought it might be a fun thing to try anyway. I will concede the skirt is short for the office, but overall, I think this made a fairly good office look. I wore a lovely structured jacket from Elate with a snug waist that flows into a petal-like near peplum. I added a big fluffy bow from Yummy! to add a touch of modesty to the bodice. The bow was a pale mint, but I tinted it to limit my shades of green to two, not three. Both of these finds are from the March Collabor88.

But when five o’clock rolls around, the jacket is coming off and that fluffy bow is being rotated to hang over the shoulder, so the gorgeous and sexy bandeau style bodice on this fabulous mini from Cracked Mirror is visible in all its glory. You can find this dress at faMESHed.

Fast Five

Today we have adorable, cute, sweet and angelic photos. I must be in the mood for fashion candy today. Speaking of candy, there’s a post about The Arcade’s contretemps over selling Gacha items and for eye candy (not the kind you’re thinking) a photostream that may win your heart.

  1. The Fashion Freebie Fish: Dita Actor features an adorable dress for the upcoming Bunny Hunt with a lovely photo. She provides links to more info about the hunt. 
  2. Kat No. 127:  Katuehh Adderstein showcases a cute casual outfit with some fab accessories and reports on the opening of the Insight Forest gallery yesterday. I went to the gallery and really loved it, not just for the great art, but the beautifully executed exhibition space.
  3. Ice Cream: So this is only the second post on this blog from Ingkeu Soonkyu (Ink) but what a great start. Full of info and GACHA items with a fresh,  friendly writing style. I love her styling and her attention to details.
  4. The Arcade’s Latest SL Event Soured by a Virtual Property Rights Drama: Iris Ophelia tackles the controversy surrounding the yard sales that have grown up to facilitate buying and selling extra Arcade items that people end up with when trying to get that one thing they must have.
  5. Craigcoen’s Photostream: So it’s not a post, just browse for a while and fall in love with Second Life again.
