If I Waited

Leave a reply

The Great Gatsby declared that No Sir, the right girl wouldn’t wait at all. She’d move on, it seems. She wouldn’t wait for your dumb ass to catch up with her, or get in sync. She’d never wait for someone who didn’t pull into her lane and come along.

There may be wisdom in that, but there’s heartbreak too. Gatsby then spends his life chasing Daisy and we all know where that lead him.

Personally I did end up having to wait a few days for my typist to show back up but then I was put in mind to wonder what else I’ve been waiting on. Beginnings or endings? Which is it?

It doesn’t matter, because time continues to roll and I’m going with it, it seems.

I’m decked out in some goodies you can still pick up at Collabor88 this month, which is perfect because you need them and this event is, as always, chocked full of goodness. But don’t wait on this one.

After all, the right girl wouldn’t wait for anyone.

You Can’t Be Both New And Improved

Leave a reply

My friend Sands made some new stuff that I decided to slip into tonight. It’s always weird when your male friends make lingerie but not nearly as weird as when your friends are skinners and you think things like “wow I really like my new vagina well done friend!”

SL is a weird place.  Continue reading →

New Heads New You

Leave a reply

I am trying out one of the new heads from Lelutka and I’m excited to try the others.  Lelutka remains my favorite head and I’m anxious to familiarize myself with the bells and whistles these new releases have. I’m playing with the moods and I think I’m going to be irked natural spicy.

Spicy makes me laugh. I’m also trying out new makeup from Glam Affair.  Bianca is so pretty, and I love this bold eye make up. Perfect for a Monday kinda day, which it is.

I’ve got a lot playing with new things to do. I’m kind of excited!

This update gives us even more ways to make our heads “us”, which is perfect.

Vacation Shot

Leave a reply

I wandered around Sansar the other day and was struck by it’s amazing beauty. I’ll post about it and share soon. It reminded me, however, how lovely our own virtual world can be. It’s easy to forget.

I thought I would show you a pic of my lazy summer vacation to share, and I left it on default windlight to boot. Here is our pretty SL – with no edits, just raw from my screen.

It’s pretty lovely.

We’re Off On The Road To ChouChou

Leave a reply

This month’s Collabor88 theme of Roadtrip has had me singing various ROAD songs from the old Bing Crosby and Bob Hope ROAD TO… movies. They are terrible, they are camp, but good grief they can still give me a giggle.

They remind me of being little and them being on the local channels on a Saturday or Sunday morning, appropriate family fare on a family day. Continue reading →

Bikini Babes of Collabor88

Leave a reply

I love summer in SL. Even though summer is actually available to us always and never has to stop, I’ve realized I need to embrace the seasons there and make them special.

Thus – summer joy is upon me when I saw these great bikinis out for the offering at Collabor88 this month. I’ve never been a “bits hanging out girl” despite the appeal that some of those seem too have for SL. I like a bit more tradition and these bikinis fit the bill for me.

Probably my favorite thing is that you can mix up the colors on the bits of them to change your look, coordinate with your hair, whatever suits your fancy. Personally I was in a pink and purple mood today, can you tell?

I’ve been a bit MIA lately because now and again life gets in the way, but here I am, like the bad penny.

I always turn up.

Get over to the July round of Collabor88 and check out what’s new and awesome. You won’t be sorry.

And Just Like That It’s Bandana Day

Leave a reply

Bandana Day is upon us once again. It’s a stern reminder of why we have the Hair Fair each year which is much more about others than us.  It’s not just a shopping event, yet we do love to shop. It’s an event where we come together and the lindens we spend help others.

The RL has plagued me more than usual and kept poor Pixel Gidge trapped on her island alone, but she did make a foray into the Hair Fair. She has a ritual, before she buys anything, she seeks the bandanas. Why? Because they people that make them, make them with LOVE. They don’t make a dime out of it, they don’t benefit, in fact it costs them time and creativity. Yet every year people make them. Hell even I made them a year or two – until the trappings of mesh put them beyond my own skills.

I’m proud to stand here for the “I don’t Know How Many Years In a Row” time and say I supported Wigs for Kids and Hair Fair once again. Thank you Sasy and Whimsy and whomever else poured their time and love into making this event happen.

You are very appreciated – even if we forget to tell you.

Like Natalie

Leave a reply

My mother would always say “They say Elizabeth Taylor is the most beautiful woman in the world, but she isn’t. it’s Natalie Wood.” She was timeless and elegant, and I was excited to see that one of SL’s most classic skin makers, Adam N Eve, had made a new skin for Vintage Fair in the spirit of her style.

If you’re newer to SL you might not be familiar with the brand, but I can promise it’s one you need to know. Classic styles and fashion, and very unique and beautiful skins to make your look more personal are what you’ll find there. I’m such a fangirl, I risk sounding ridiculous. Continue reading →

The Things You Forget

Leave a reply

It’s funny what you forget, and what you remember, over ten years time. Asked recently to recollect my days in SL, the arc of my existence in pixel space, and the story flowed.  But what struck me wasn’t the fails, the losses, the friends who turned out to be flakes and went their way.

No, it was the constancy of the right people – when you are lucky enough to meet them. Continue reading →

Poolside Respite

Leave a reply

I always think I’ve found the perfect pool but then I find the next perfect pool and then the next one and well, obviously this means I have a lot of pools.

Scarlet Creative released a new MUST HAVE resort style pool and I admit, it was on my list of amazing pieces at this round of Collabor88. Continue reading →
