Who Are You In Other Worlds?

I got to wondering, over my breakfast, what my SL friends are like in their other worlds? I don’t play a LOT of video games, but I do play World of Warcraft and I’ve created a cast of characters that, despite the lack of customization in that world, all have a BIT of Gidginess to them. I thought I’d show you mine, and hope that maybe for fun, you’d show me yours. Continue reading

Fairy Lights and Forest Nights

I’m not actually an elf. I’m pretending to be one. I’m an elf who had plastic surgery to get her ears fixed. Now I regret it, and I’ve returned to the forest in search of my pointy eared brethren.  I decided if I was going to pretend to be an elf who had plastic surgery and now was returning to the forest in search of my pointy eared brethren, I’d need a forest. And that’s a funny story. Continue reading

Ladies and Gentlemen I Bring You Gacha

I am also bringing you the most popular pictures I’ve ever taken, according to FLICKR stats. Sure, my views went up weirdly when they changed the way they count them, but they’ve normalized. These however, are now a set of insanely popular FLICK pics, at least on my photostream. So, I think you should go buy all these things.

Let’s talk GACHA. Gogo caught my eye with this adorable bunny phone at VCO and now I have three. Continue reading

BANDANA DAY 2013 !!! Drop The Hair To Show You Care!

There were so many beautiful bandanas this year that I struggled only buying four. I kept thinking, four is plenty. You don’t NEED more than four. But, they are so pretty, I rather love them this year. I might have more than four. Continue reading

I Traveled To Tokyo With Flowers In My Hair

I wanted to go shopping somewhere new, so I put in SHOPPING MALL into SEARCH.

After wading through a bunch of places that had keywords shopping, shopping mall, big shopping mall, best shopping mall, shopping mall of the shopping, etc etc etc I found someplace that looked interested, said it was anime themed and I didn’t have anything better to do so I popped over. Continue reading

Bandana Day Is Tomorrow!! Do You Have Your Bandana???

TOMORROW is Bandana day and that’s the day we take off our many wigs and wear only bandanas, in support and solidarity to those who do not have any due to disease or treatment of disease.

Many of us made bandanas and donated them, and you still have time to run over and grab one or two or three and get creative.

I hope to see NO hair on Iheartsl tomorrow! So spread the word!

SLURLS TO HAIRFAIR

If I Were Going To Role Play Who Should I Be?

Roleplay, cosplay and well made fashion had a three way and there was a baby. FATEplay was born to bring amazing fashion to a part of the grid less traveled by some of us. It does give one pause, what might we do there, given the amazing offering at FATEplay?

My first thought was I could be a Desdemona seeking my handkerchief? But she ended so poorly, so maybe not. Continue reading

Things To Know Before You Visit LOVE DONNA FLORA

I went over last night to make another pass at shopping before the onslaught, and wanted to cover some important stuff with you to make your, and everyone elses, shopping experience better.

Like any event, looking cute isn’t going to be your most important focus. Go look cute on the last day. Right now, it’s a struggle to get in. There is a script meter that’s going to let you know if you have on too many scripts. You’ll get three warnings and then if you don’t pare it down, you’re going to get TPd. I know this, because last night in a bikini, I kept getting it. As I swore at Cajsa and muttered in RL about it being BS, I realized my glasses and earrings were scripted, and once I took them off the warning stopped. Continue reading

Noob Surfing

So it seems odd but I don’t actually recall ever properly surfing. I’ve used surf boards as props, but I can’t remember ever riding one out on the waves. So I decided to do that this morning.

I learned some things. Such as, I’m impatient. I kept clicking REZZ on the surfboard sign, and it kept not rezzing and I’d click it again and nothing and I’d click it again and again and finally I was thinking HELL FORGET IT when I moved my camera angle I saw, OH, they were rezzing on the other side of a small brush of sea grass in front of me.

So I chose one of 20 and took off. Continue reading
