Avoiding Monday

I’m not sure if you are aware but about four years ago Silo and I put up a house, he spent weeks decorating it and then – we left it. For FOUR YEARS. So the revolution of me picking up the whole lot of it and suddenly buying new furniture and moving into this doll house is kind of a big thing to me. (Thanks for the doll house Gogo.)

Raiding My Closet for Cold Weather

If there is one thing I’ve learned watching Cajsa style over the past few years, is that what seems to “go” with what you’ve just put on is often furthest from what you are going for.

The temperature in my RL has dropped significantly, and the new scarf from Baiastice was where I started my outfit- along with these boots from TenFifteen. Now, I was naked wearing a scarf and boots. Continue reading

Some Cooking Role Play For Your Enjoyment

The #1 way you know that this is some sort of fantasy role play thing is that I’m doing things in a kitchen with pots. I don’t cook. I heat. My oldest child tells me that I make the best spaghettios ever and by GOD I think I do too.

But, the fine people at Le Bistro who have built this big store selling food items to role play family cooking with, or FRIEND COOKING if you don’t have a family, sent me a blogger sample so I thought, heck, I should cook some friends or something. ALAS it’s actually a real meal, not cooking your friends which is a totally different ROLE PLAY. Continue reading

SL WEEKLY WORDS CHALLENGE: ABANDON

Back by popular demand! The word for this coming week is ABANDON.

Abandon:  to leave completely, forsake utterly, desert, to give up, discontinue, withdraw from.

The pic is a bit hestitant Ophelia, isn’t it?

The SL Weekly Words Challenge is a weekly blogger challenge where I pose a word and you take that word and depict it with an image. There is no right or wrong way to do this challenge. Pictures can have avatars or not, it’s about what that word means to you.
There is a small but festive FLICKR Group to post your pics too as well.

So feel free to participate. And there is no deadline, no rules, just something to inspire you besides “what shoes go with this?” which is why I created the challenge in the first place. Thanks to you who left me comments asking me to keep going. I needed a kick!

Next weeks words  for those who need time for ideas to brew- CRISP AND CLEAN.

Do I Make You Horny, Baby?

I only have two speeds when it comes to horns. Total disinterest or SQUEEEEE ! Yeah I know, it’s the usual blogger malady of being too enthusiastic about something. But perhaps you’d feel differently if I explained why these horns HAVE THE AWESOME so hard? Continue reading

The Vintage Fair Cometh

I’ve only made a preliminary pass through with my blogger press pass but so far I’m giddy with the fun vintage and retro inspired pieces I’ve seen. I thought I’d roll out the ball with two dresses, one from Rag Dollz and one from Kouse’s Sanctum. I do like a fun party dress.

What’s great about the Vintage Fair is that due to how ENORMOUS IT IS there is likely to be something awesome for everyone, whether your thing is conservative 40s style or hot rockabilly bad girl, you can find new pieces for your look to be certain.

I’m also wearing a skin from the Vintage Fair called Dharma from Essences, lipstick from Rozena and some cute eyes also from Rozena called Afternoon Tea. I’m not an eye collector but I know some of you are!
