Some love is just a lie of the heart
The cold remains of what began with a passionate start
and you may not want it to end, but it’s really just a question of when… Continue reading

MySecondBox.Com – WOMENS is OPEN for Enrollment!
MySecondBox.com – the premier subscription fashion service has opened and is now available to join! Just search Mysecondbox WOMENS to join.
What is this? Well lemme ‘splain.
Some of you may be familiar with Birchbox or other services where you pay a low monthly fee, usually ten bucks, and receive a box of sample beauty products which usually includes one full size product in the box. It’s kind of fun, a box of goodies, many of which you have never even heard of and for us girly girls, it’s like a present out of nowhere. Lotions, hair bobs, perfumes, lipsticks, it all just arrives in a little box and once a month you fall in love with a new product.
MySecondBox.com works the same way except, you aren’t getting demos. These are real creators that will be sending you out one item, each month you’ll get five gifts for a monthly subscription fee of 300L. No lag. To missed delivery. If you didn’t pick up the item when it’s sent, just go into group notices and pick it up there.
The first three months rotation of creators are pretty hot:
Adore & Abhor
Alice Project
AURA
BOTHER
caLLie cLine
Caroline
CrackedMirror
Discord Designs
Elymode
Exposeur Poses
Frooti
Glitterati
House of London
La Petite Morte
Le Bloom
Temporarily you must join the group at the beginning of each month as they aren’t able to set up a monthly fee via groups. However – a scripted solution is forthcoming.
Gifts will be delivered mid-month so don’t delay – get signed up.
Creators who might be interested in joining for future rounds – contact Kesseret Steeplechase.
COMING SOON – Mysecondbox for MEN and HOME & GARDEN!
I Only Had To Turn My Head
It’s a quckie today because I’m having some medieval torture done, but if you know me, you know I don’t ever stay dressed in any one thing for very long, and I’ve had this on for two days so I kind of like it. Continue reading
Phototools Tutorial – Take Back Your Windlight Control
There are very few things I have hated as much as I have loathed the changed to the windlight settings in the new UI. I deal with them, as do you, but basically, what a pain in the ass they made it.
On plurk the other day, my friend Isa linked to PHOTOTOOLS which is a Firestorm plug in that you can use to wrestle back control into one easy interface option and make your photoshoots so much simpler.
First of all, go to Phototools and DL the plug in.
Follow the instructions it gives you in the zip file. You will be replacing some of the files in your Firestorm skins folder. I made a copy and put them in a handy dandy folder. It’s very easy and took me about two minutes.
Now, restart Firestorm and hit the QUICKSTART button at bottom right. You now get a different menu.
You will see that your camera control options are a bit different now too. For your windlight settings you have rocker arrows as well as drop downs.
A quick tap of water and sky arrows gave me a completely different look. But there’s more. Continue reading
Scent Of A Beach Party
It was all bathing suits and bikinis at the Velvet last night as Cajsa DJ’s us through a set with lots of Dick Dale, Beach Boys and other beachy tunes. I popped over for a while to dance and enjoy some non-work related time online.
Mesh shorts are cropping up all over and I am in love with these from Baiastice I’ve had them on for two days (which is a long time for me). They fit nicely and don’t give me weird body distortions. I didn’t have to alter my shape to get the S to work.
I found this little prop when I popped over to Juicy Beach sim to pay my rent to Gogolita, and was poking around the little shops around me. It’s a freebie from VivaLaVida and there is also a ladybug chair for free, but this was my fave. It’s got three poses in it and – hey, FREE. Amirite?
For a summery look I am wearing PXL Creations KATE which is a pretty youthful face. I thought freckles were perfect for a sunny weekend day. The freckles are kind of growing on me, I might have to wear them more.
And now our weekend of remembrance/partying/etc is over in the states and it’s back to the business of being serious.
I hope everyone has a great Tuesday!

You Gotta Have Friends
I invited my friend Harrison over to BBQ with me yesterday and he refused to use the spatula. “I AM A MAN!” he declared, turning hot meats with his bare hands and only crying like a baby some of the time.
I said “Did you get the spatula?” He said “I did, but I declined it.”
[23:35] Harrison Gearz: I dont need no fucking spatula
[23:36] Harrison Gearz: btw I fapped earlier and did not wash my hands Continue reading
SUMMERTIME
I wanted an additional dock for my houseboat and when Funky Junk released the SUMMERTIME DOCK it was the perfect solution to an absolute need over at my house. How else would I leap and frolic into the water, if not from a well made wooden platform? Continue reading
A Long Weekend Needs Fun Hair
It’s the beginning of summer vacation for most of us in the U.S.A. so I decided to kick it off by embracing Gogolita’s bubblegum weekend idea and try a fun hair color for grins. I don’t even know if she is still doing this but I don’t care, I loved this texture from Magika the second I saw it and ran over as soon I logged in to pick it up. I just can’t get that ONE bit to lay down. Continue reading
Kate – by Baiastice
Skin Addiction’s Showcase event starts today and I was going to kick off my love of skin by trying someone new or not as familiar as Baiastice but then I tried on her KATE skin and makeups and I fell in love. So, this isn’t my fault. Continue reading
Why Does The Caged Bird Sing ?
If you are anything like me, you have a long list of places you “used” to shop. Store from your newbie days that lay scattered behind you like the wake of a forgetful fashionista’s shopping habit. Often times, returning to these stores after years of being away is a horror – nothing has changed AND it’s BEEN YEARS. There are few things that make me pull the southern belle out to say “oh bless their heart” when a shop didn’t ever progress with the trends and fashions with everyone else. Continue reading
