It’s Fine By Me if You Are Shaken, Not Stirred

winx_006

It’s the last day for MY ATTIC and I have to admit, my RL has been hectic and full of RL things that have kept me from being a proper shopper. So I ran over this morning before work and snatched up all the things as quick as you like. The theme this month is Shaken, Not Stirred, I think. I didn’t pay attention. It’s something like that. Regardless, it’s awesome. Continue reading

It’s Black, It’s White

Black And White_003

I wanted to do something without post-processing at all for the Black and White Challenge from Maci and our very own Hybie. I love the idea of working without post processing for things like this because it challenges you.

The first thing I did was go madly flipping through Honour McMillan’s blog to find someplace likely. Her blog remains a bloggers best resource for awesome and unlikely on location places to shoot. Cheers Honour. Continue reading

Because You Gotta Have Faith

Well I guess it would be nice, if I could touch your body.
I know not everybody, has got a body like you.
But I gotta think twice,
Before I give my heart away, and I know all the games you play
Because I play them too.
PXL Faith_002
Well I need some time off, from that emotion
Time to pick my heart back off the floor
And when that love comes down without devotion
Well it takes a strong girl baby, but I’m showing you the door,
Because you gotta have Faith…
PXL Faith_003

George Michael’s song has been running through my head ever since PXL Creations launched it’s newest skin release, FAITH.  I opted to put Gidge in the freckled version of the skin with her favorite pinks and purples for make up and I’m pretty sure she’s as cute as a can be.

You need to go demo this skin, it’s hitting a sweet spot of youthful beauty yet mature sexy that I’m loving.

Come on, you gotta have Faith.

I’m also showing you the gorgeous new release from Trompe Loeil which is a beautiful gilded bed that comes in an array of colors of bedding to suit any decor.

“I’ve reconsidered my foolish notion, well I need someone to hold me but I’ll wait for something more. Because I’ve gotta have Faith.”

No Ordinary Cats

Well it’s true.  I’ve had all sorts of cats. I’ve had cats that were my best friend. I’ve had cats that were total assholes but I loved despite themselves. But ordinary? No. Never. Our friend in fashion Gospel Voom, the creator of those GOS shoes you love so much, has a cat that is also not ordinary. This amazing cat, named Archie, was hit by a car.  He suffered traumatic head injuries, but as he isn’t an ordinary cat obviously, he has survived thanks to some amazing vets. Continue reading

Fabienne – A Palace for A Kept Woman

My Universe

The Fabienne skybox is the latest release from Barnesworth Anubis for Collabor88. It’s amazing to me what architecture can inspire in a person. While the name, Fabienne, put my brain in a very salty Pulp Fiction sort of place, upon rezzing it and seeing the beautiful build, I slipped into a very different frame of mind.

It reminded me of the sort of place a kept woman would live. Lol.

It has a masculine elegance and with just a touch of feminine grace that truly reminded me of a place that a man would BUY – for a woman. Barnesworth is going to kill me now I can just feel it. Continue reading

Bathe Yourself In Light

All of the best things in my Second Life I do with Cajsa. That’s no lie. Anything awesome and spectacular started with us going “what if we did ….” and suddenly we’ve got something that makes us both squee.

This box of light is like that. Cajsa had started messing about with projectors and boxes and  then we realized that once again, the symbiotic nature of our relationship fit together perfectly – she could build it and I could script it with poses and we’d have something beautiful. Continue reading

BOOK CLUB!

I am a little excited cuz I joined an SL book club. It might sound silly but I never do stuff very much other than work, and the occasional party so to have a planned SL activity plus yay BOOKS, I was excited.

My friend Owly has been quoting from this book for days, and eventually I was so intrigued I had to ask about it and then next thing I knew I was reserving the book at the library and then I was making plans to attend. Continue reading

It Could Also Be A Couch

This might not sound like a compliment, unless you – as a small child, spent hours and hours in discount fabric stores in the 70s. They heavy, thick fabric texturing of this sundress from Aris Aris reminded me immediately of fabric that you could find on sale to cover your chair, or to make a skirt or a dress.  It’s made with natural looking creasing that only lends to it’s appearance as a thick woven fabric, heavier than a denim.
