The RL conspired to keep me off the grid most of the weekend. Which is just as well because RL>SL yet, I missed my virtual piece of sanity. So I enjoyed wrapping up my Sunday evening with a little relaxation in my new Lazy Ass Pajamas from A:S:S – literally Pho – the grid needs more pajamas that don’t make you look like a 20 dollar hooker. Well done. Continue reading
I was absolutely taken back in time with the set of retro furniture released by Barnesworth Anubis for Collabor88.
My own Uncle George, the mecca of style and culture from my childhood, owned almost EXACTLY this furniture.
He’d designed and built a house, with a proper formal double parlour. One half of the room was southwestern, with lots of amazing things from his trips to Mexico displayed all over. The other half though, was this amazing post modern blue and white SQUARE funiture.
Paired with bleached blonde wood (allegedly from Sweden) he even had a blonde piano in that half of the room. The furniture was leather, but felt like glossy plastic. As though someone had made furniture out of patent leather shoes, yet it was in fact true leather. He polished it every week with a special product he had shipped in from somewhere.
This wasn’t lounging furniture. This was sitting up properly and visiting after dinner furniture. Or receiving guests furniture. Or listening to the piano being played furniture.
The animals WERE NOT allowed on the furniture.
I suppose that accounts for my small rebellion above. I hope he forgives me.
So because of Barnesworth Anubis, I had a stroll down memory lane. It made me a little teary and a little happy. I wish I had that damn furniture now.
Decor and Furniture Shown:
Wall Art: Trompe Loeil – Nine Cell art works
Furniture: Retro Living Room from Barnesworth Anubis
Side Table: Trompe Loeil

I was scrolling through the feeds this morning while drinking my coffee and realized I’d noted two posts to look at later for shopping, therefore I was almost to a fast five. Thus, I bring you the Fast Five from Gidge inspired by my morning coffee shopping time.
1. The Blues-Ish The gradient blue in this picture caught my eye immediately. I love FreeStyle and still use it as a catalog of places to shop that provide quality free or inexpensive items.
2. Beautiful Life: I only like poses that appear to be mid-motion. I’m weird like that. Sam Laszlo’s post has some great pics that truly look like avatars caught mid-joy. Love the looks too. Continue reading
There are things any well dressed girl has to have. HAS to have. Even if you just have ONE, it should be a good one and serviceable. Today’s post is dedicated to those things. Continue reading
It is far less likely that it would look like this…
than that it would look like this… Continue reading
Can a pixel person liveblog? Is it pixel blogging? Pixel people can’t actually type, their real person has to do it for them. Are we all just a longing Cyrano hiding behind a less articulate Christian? Perhaps.
That one was for the literati. Continue reading
Darkley said we’re doing a sweaty boobs and flexi skirt meme?
I am wearing a ballgown at the beach.
Please take the sweaty boobs as understood. Continue reading
When the mesh boobs came out, every creator on the planet started making everything “with appliers” and most of us without mesh boobs went, oh, so what are we supposed to wear?
Eventually people told us we could wear the things too – but since they weren’t being marketed that way none of us “got it”. When you tailor something “FOR THIS” and I am NOT that, I assume it’s not for ME. Continue reading
I’ve been waiting for Hart to release Sophia in a Natural tone because this girl doesn’t tan in either life. He just recently released her in ALL tones so if you do love a darker or mid range tone run to demo!
But the VIP Group once again proves that this group is a blogger’s good friend. You need versatility and lots of skins as a blogger (especially a new blogger, this isn’t cheap) and belonging to VIP groups that provide quality awesome skins is where it’s at.
Plus I think it’s lovely that it has the same name as Cajsa’s mom.
Gidge Is Wearing:
Skin: PXL Creations VIP Group Spring Gift
Hair: EXILE – Raspberry Beret
Eyes: Poetic Colors – Coral Reef
Lashes: Amacci Eyelash Tattoo
My own sloth and WoW interfered with me posting this yesterday. I know it’s hard to believe a video game could interfere with people getting things done, isn’t it?
Anyway, here’s my fast five for yesterday also today.
1. Proceeding on Good Faith: People make mistakes. Creators, customers, etc. Paypaback Writer gives us a play by play on how she’s trying to be a good customer in the face of some kind of crazy mistakes. Reminder creators – although RL > SL you do actually have responsibilities to your customers. This is real money we are spending with you. Act like it. Continue reading
