Check’Em – For Squint – And For Yourself

Our Avatars will never get breast cancer. Our breasts and bodies will never be ravaged by disease of any sort. We have the luxury of being perfect every day, no matter what.

But our Avatars can remind our real selves of things that we want, things we can aspire to, and things that are IMPORTANT.

A very small thing is a monthly breast exam. Early detection is the key.  More women than I care to think of that I care about have endured this battle, and for some it did not end in their favor.

I’ve promised Cajsa I’d made something to promote Breast Self Exams for some time, but life gets in the way. Just like not checking your breast for lumps, life gets in the way, you forget to do it.

Today is the one year anniversary of the day that we lost a brillant creator, and a lovely friend, to cancer. Her journey began with breast cancer. I still miss her and her amazing wit, and her startling timeless designs.

You can pick up this pose for free, to help remind us all to take better care of ourselves in the RL at PRETENSE POSES on Juicy.

LET ME LOVE YOU

I am suffering from a late arrival home but not suffering so much I couldn’t squeeze my new kitty from THE ARCADE. Fat kitties and fat babies are two of my favorite things. Aisling released a host of fat kitties to hold or to set about and be your sweet companions, for THE ARCADE.

I love that you get a little HUD to change their eye color. That’s such a sweet little touch!

And now I’m going to crawl to the RL and anxiously await sleep tonight.

See you later my pretties!

I’m on vacation. But before I went, I cheated on the ARCADE and went to A DIFFERENT Gacha event. I know, can you even believe it? Well, I did. I forget it’s name. This will make it difficult to return to it, I know.

Oh well.

I pulled on the Enfant Terrible machine and got these two things though, and thought they were fun. My staff is ULTRA RARE! YOU HEAR THAT!!!?? ULTRA RARE.

Seriously, I’m awesome.

<3 Happy Tuesday and see you all soon.

It’s Fashion: How to Shop The Shops

I have important information. I can tell you how to shop THE SHOPS. I too have stood in the bright white landing point shouting OMG WHAT IS HAPPENING and ended up leaving frustrated. It’s happened. But, I’ve sorted it out and now I feel daft as it’s easy. Let me take you on a trip while I buy some lipstick. First of all, TP to THE SHOPS.

The FIRST thing that happens when you land is that you are handed a folder. YOU NEED THIS FOLDER. This is not a group joiner nor an invite to attend a BEST IN RED CONTEST WITH DJ HOT PANTS. This is an important folder and it contains a shopping hud and a styling hud. Put the shopping HUD ON.

If you are going to buy ANYTHING you’ll want to go ahead and buy credits. Not that big of a deal, you can sort out what you want and get the dollar amount closest to that. Pay the circle of the amount you want to pay. And now you have credit at the store.

Click on the picture on the wall that says THE MESH PROJECT to go pick up a body if you like. When you  click on the body these are your choices.

I grabbed DELUXE. But you see there is a free version, GREAT for giving it a try.

You can also pick up a head if you like. I didn’t get one and I regret it a little I’d like to check one out. NEXT TIME! Mesh heads fascinate me.

This is where I grabbed the shoes and dress. You can also pop over to THE BOUTIQUE for more clothes. YAY clothes.

But I wanted lipstick! So – I found the arrow on the floor to go BACK to the first room with all the TP options.

And now I can choose to go to THE SKIN SHOP.

And since it was lipstick I was after, it was lipstick I found.

I chose CUTE and then chose my color palette from there. It was SO easy!

And that’s how you shop the shops! Easy!

It’s Fashion: The Mesh Project

I confess, I like mesh parts. I am trying out THE SHOPS for the first time, and giving their new DELUXE mesh body a whirl.  I picked up a very pale skin while I was there and a freebie dress and shoes, to see if I liked their version of the mesh Gidge. Continue reading

Love Comes Walking In

Contact is all it takes
to change your life
to lose your place in time
Contact, asleep or awake
Coming around

There she stands
in a silken gown
Silver Light
Shining down

Love comes walking in

ARCADE PREVIEW: Belleza #5 – Make It Your Own

The thing about skins is, none of us wants to look like the other one.  But for the awesome price of the ARCADE it’s hard to pass up a great skin like Emily. You can always opt to make some tweaks to the skin that make it more YOU, your signature look, than just the out of the box skin.  Three very small adjustments personalized this #5 version of Emily.
