I was raised protestant in the middle of America. We don’t have sugar skulls. In fact, I only ever heard of sugar skulls in SL. So when the Flux theme was DAY OF THE DEAD and people started putting out sugar skulls – I went -oh, this is connected?
Since cultural appropriation is a serious trigger for many people, I decided I should probably look up what all this means before I go wearing it. I learned a lot. Most of it creepy (to me). Continue reading
It’s never a question that I will blog items from Collabor88, but for me the question is who to blog FIRST. There is such a consistent level of quality at the creators of Collabor88 that it has become painstaking to figure out which box I will open and like first.
That’s a cherished thing for an event, I would never lie and say I love everything I see. But the things that I love tend to be really well done.
So we’ll start this month with The SECRET STORE. Maylee Oh again hits one out of the park with a cinched high waist dress that leans toward a corset cut, juxtaposed with a Peter Pan collar. Sexy but demure. The name, Jezibell, leans toward the vintage cinched waist’s hint at corset pulling, but definitely keeps it PG with a delicately gathered bodice in rich deep tones. The skirt is textured with broad but faint stripes and shaded to indicate the fabric stretched over your curves. Continue reading
The furniture that’s scripted to go with your Zooby baby is cute, and lots of fun for doing the “playing with my baby” kind of thing. But since I mostly don’t do that, and I just wanted to make a room to be “hers” in my new house and not have to stick her visiting Auntie Inventory, I’ve been hunting for lower land impact options.
I can still drag out the official scripted furniture for fun but this works better for me day to day.
WHY?
Because it’s ONE LAND IMPACT.
Seriously, how cute is that crib for one land impact?
I picked it up on MP for 50L and it’s worth every penny. No – not scripted, but I just put her in there and tell her to sleep and she’s set until I want to get her up. If you need scripting for your RP or whatever then, probably not for you. But I think it’s cool as heck.
Everyone once in a while I like to flit about to the scarier part of Marketplace. I usually don’t know what I’m looking for, just that when I see it it will be mine. I’m speaking of the nearly free section. Continue reading
The first time I ever started getting into home decor seriously it was fall, maybe three years ago. It’s come so far since then. I still have all my pieces, collected excitedly and remember fondly getting to excite to change everything.
The ASHDON living room from Trompe Loeil is my first fall change indoors and it’s cozy & perfect. You get color options plus you can choose pillows or blankets etc for your look. I picked blankets because I know I’ll cover up when the sea air gets cold.
Funny true story, to remind you how far we’ve come. On the table behind my sofa is a decor piece from Lisp from 2-3 years ago. It’s pumpkins that say BOO and has candles. It’s ADORABLE.
It’s also 17 prims.
My new sofa, is 4.
Mesh, we’ve come a long way baby.
There’s a fantasy gacha carnival going on and Acha made me a princess.
Well I’m always a princess but she made me TRADITIONAL princess. Continue reading
It was serendipity that I didn’t change out of my tights and shoes when I tried on my new dress from LivGlam. PERFECT! This one was on of my total wins from Rock Your Rack, and it’s my favorite fall pick up – of the week. 🙂 Continue reading
I was ecstatic to the point of ridiculous that Mudhoney released MUMS for Fifty Linden Friday yesterday. If you aren’t from the US – mums are the official herald of fall. I’ve started my fall decorating, adding the rocker just released from What Next and now the mums. YAY for fall decorating!
My cat, my FIRST cat, Snake Plisskin is so glad to be out of the his Inventory Kennel. He follows me around everywhere and would not let me take a photo without him. He’s a very spoiled pretend cat.
I have such a hectic schedule today though, I have to grab a cup and RUN because both lives are completely booked full. Continue reading
I accept the fact that I’m more than a bit of a Second Life PRUDE. That’s ok. It’s my Second Life and I can be who I want. I respect the fact that you too can be whatever you want. But, I think that when our fantasy existences cross one another, a certain amount of decorum, and well – manners, should be expected.
Case in point.
I got dressed – as pictured, and ventured out because a good friend had new releases that were not to be missed. I actually had several stops on my shopping list, but this first one was a much anticipated release -a must have. Continue reading
Never be intimidated by a girl who likes books.
You never know what kind of tricks she’s learned in them. Continue reading
