Make Mine a Bliensen With a Side of MaiTai

Leave a reply

According to ABOUT.COM MaiTai translates into OUT OF THIS WORLD in Tahitian.  It’s a rum drink and one of the most delicious treats to make you feel like you’re having a real grown up cocktail. It contains two kinds of rum for god’s sake.

Cocktails like that were made back when men were men and women were ladies or dames. Bliensen + MaiTai for Hair Fair 2013 has served up fantastic vintage looks that are elegant and true to the period they’re representing.

And take note ladies, she’s got an AWESOME BLONDE! Platinum is the tone I’m wearing and it’s appropriate for ladies and dames alike. Continue reading →

!OHMai It’s Bedtime

I took a walk around the LOVE DONNA FLORA sim last night and stumbled into Anya Ohmai’s booth where she is selling these adorable bunnies to snuggle.

It’s so cute, you can change the buttons, the flag or the color of the whole bunny. And it’s perfect for night time snugglies. Continue reading →

Prepping for Love Donna Flora and Sunday Dinner

Leave a reply

I started out my Sunday perfectly, in a beautiful vineyard with a winding country road. Every few meters a cart or tent awaits a creator to come fill it with it’s goodies for the upcoming LOVE DONNA FLORA event.

I drug my heavy boxes and pose stand down the path until I got to my tent and got set up before the morning sun made me too hot.

I did end up stopping in the courtyard at the center of the build at the event, just to enjoy the scenery and have a cool drink.  It was about that time that I realized, I hadn’t SHOPPED ALL DAY!

I decided to rectify this immediately. Continue reading →

What Can I Do In Slink(y) Stilettos

Leave a reply

It started off like a fashion blog might. I took some shots of a lovely cocktail ring from Maxi Gossamer. I was delighted that it sits next to my wedding ring – I LOVE wearing more than one ring.

Then I shot the shoes.

And I had this THOUGHT! I’d do a THEN AND NOW OF THE STILETTOS OF MY SL.

Because, the world has changed. I dug into my inventory with glee planning to show you how far we’d come when I realized – I’d deleted them in a rare inventory purge. Which is sad, because they were really something. I’d gotten them in a freebie box at this place that had tons of free or cheap furniture and you could game there. YEAH that’s how long ago I got them. I looked on MP, so great was my zeal to show them to you, but alas, the great MAGIC BOX SUNDERING of 2013 must have obliterated them all.

So, next idea.  Continue reading →

The Truth About Mornings

Leave a reply

I wasn’t sure how to start my day after I’d taken the time to get dressed and do my nails. I knew I wanted breakfast but couldn’t decide on what I was willing to bother making.  I’m lazy in both worlds and I’m afraid we both skip breakfast more than we should.

Pixel Gidge decided that cake is breakfast too. It also gives me a chance to show you her new dining room set. Ria Bazar released the Toronto dining set and it’s larger than my old set which, although I loved it, was what I wanted. My linden house seems to be proportioned for back when furniture WAS so much larger and I always feel like huge portions of it are empty. It was about 500 lindens for the whole set, table rug, cabinet, lamp etc – so a STEAL. Continue reading →

Why Does the Caged Bird Sing?

Leave a reply

Gogo pointed me to a store I hadn’t perused in the past and I discovered a little corner chocked full of what is fun about our Second Lives – Fantasy. Songbird has all sorts of quirky fantasy items from the macabre to the festive.

I do like fantasy and this shop has eyes, tattoo layers and all sorts of things for adding a tweak of the ethereal to your avatar if you’re feeling saucy. Continue reading →

Dancing And Pool Parties

Leave a reply

I logged in for Cajsa’s smooth jazz set on Sunday and she said “Put on your swimsuit.”

Handily, I had just picked a new one up at Fameshed from Valentina E.  I thought it was kind of adorable because it included a cover up so it was perfect.

The Velvet had added an outdoor pool of eclectic elegance so it was a relaxing morning of floating and dancing while we shook off our Sunday lethargy.

When I didn’t feel like swimming, the cover-up still provided a pool party appropriate look without my bootie hanging out. Continue reading →

Damselfly Returns To My Shopping List

Leave a reply

Everybody has that store, that store you USED to shop at. Damselfly was my GO TO for big old floofy “TEXAS PAGEANT HAIR” and it was awesome. Truly, I was a major fan and flocked over to pick up every release I could. While I’m positive by the amount of FLEXI one sees in ballrooms that big flowy hair still has it’s audience, in order to keep my Fashion Mafia card I had to move on to mesh.

And said fair thee well to Damselfly. Continue reading →
