Patriotica – Part One

Live From the CNN Center in Atlanta!
My fellow Americans, and Ameriphiles,
The 4th of July weekend is almost upon us.
In RL this means barbecues, family picnics, parties, cookouts, trips to the beach and the omnipresent fireworks displays.
IN SL this means all of the above – plus the REQUISITE fashion adjustments for the old Red White and Blue. Continue reading

Oh my god did he really just say he brought over some papaya trying to make time with the ladies?

After shooting for a million hours the other night, I slipped into a cute new dress and Cajsa immediately said “Let’s shoot this one.”

Sweet. Continue reading
