Two Girls And A Foodtruck

Leave a reply

Codie and I have decided that the only way to afford our ARCADE addictions is to get proper jobs.  Standing all day in a hot food truck pays better than you might think. And we get all the fancy coffee drinks we want.

Now if I could get Codie to help out. That girl is lazy. I told her not to wear stockings and heels in here!

It’s worth it though! ARCADE IS HERE YAAAAY !!

Gidge and Codie are Wearing:

Kimonos: Pixicat – The ARCADE
Hair: Truth – Sakura – The Arcade
Food Truck: THEOSOPHY – THE ARCADE

Tres Not Blah

Leave a reply

I was having my morning coffee with Gogo and we were talking about our MUST HAVE list from THE ARCADE this round. Nearly at the same time, we said “Tres Blah”.

What is it about the nicknacks from Tres Blah that inspire frenzy in some of us? The dainty cuteness? I don’t even know, but I do know that there hasn’t been a round that I didn’t get AT LEAST some of the pieces to her sets. I’m mixing an matching stuff from the new COTTAGE DU JOUR with older pieces, as she is thoughtful enough to coordinate them gently.

The Arcade opens tomorrow, and I’m on the hunt for her rares now.

What are you looking forward to this round of The Arcade?

All furnishings: Tres Blah for THE ARCADE

Getting My Necessary Shopping Done

Arcade opens on the 1st and that means I have to make sure my affairs are in order. Rent is paid. Groceries purchased. I put on my sensible walking shoes and set out to stock up on the supplies that a pixel girl needs to make her world go round. This way I am ready to stock up on the supplies that a pixel girl WANTS to make her world go round.

I am ready Arcade. Let’s do this.

One Thing About My New Hair

Leave a reply

I keep my lunch in it. Is that wrong?

This new crazy and fun hair (that the sushi IS optional with) is going to be at THE ARCADE oh in just DAYS! Can you believe Arcade is almost here! I kind of love this hair, it reminds me a lot of the days when people made silly things just because they could. Arcade always brings back a lot of the whimsy of my early days of SL to me.

I’m also showing off the amazing group gift from PINK FUEL. Why are you not in this update group? Seriously she included SLINK Appliers? HOW freaking generous is that? Eyes, lips skin and appliers just as a thank you for being in her group. Mochi is so generous, she amazes.

It’s not too late to run over to MY ATTIC to check out everything that’s new over there, this skirt and tank from LACUNA are a pretty summer look.

That’s all for me, but I’m going out for Japanese for lunch, that’s for sure.

Later pretties!

New Darker Tones for SLINK Visage Head

Leave a reply

I used to work with a girl whose mother was a very pale, freckled Irish redhead. Her father was a black as night Colombian. Finding makeup with a nightmare for her.  Her skin tone was dark but pale, and everything looked wrong. I remember when her tone of foundation was discontinued, she was distraught.

You see a lot of complaining in SL about dark skin tones, or the lack thereof, but at least it’s not a problem we MUST live with. We can try new things, branch out, and flip into different colors on a whim.

In SL, we are whatever color we want to be, which is a luxury ladies of color do not have in RL. Continue reading →

Last Day of Vacation

MY ATTIC has been a spectacular event for my three day weekend this time around. If you are ready to plunge head in to summer and appreciate the vintage styling of the pinup look, you need to run grab up the goodies.

Fishy Strawberry completed my lust for new beachwear with this retro sailor look, available in three colors. Continue reading →

The Grind To The End

Leave a reply

Getting to to the end of a goal can be a grind. It’s there in sight, but you have to keep going to make it happen.  You can’t let up or you won’t get  there, you have to keep making things happen and being on your game even though it’s so close, SO SO SO CLOSE.

That’s been my week. I had these photos done early Monday AM. I had them editted on Tuesday. But since then, I’ve been driving toward a goal and could barely think until it was done.

The exhaustion of having completed it is upon me, the relief, the feeling of overwhelming AAAAAAAAHHHHH and it shows by how befuddled I am this morning.

I just spent five minutes wondering why typing Cajsa’s name into Google didn’t allow me to send her a message. Continue reading →

Curly Locks of Doom

BlueBlood is at the World Goth Fair and has put out some adorable shift dresses with a macabre theme, as you’d expect.  They’re a fun and easy slip on for when you’re considering your mortality, or others, but still want to be cute.

For only 50L a pull there is no BAD color to pick up, but I pulled on the red color today to wear while I am out shopping.

I also can’t stop loving these cat eye glasses from YUMMY.  Gidge might wear glasses now.

Just Another Reason To Get My Pink Kitchen Out

Leave a reply

I’ve changed kitchen colors so many times, but the pink TROMPE LOEIL Retro Kitchen keeps sucking me back in. I have to admit, despite the amazing other colors, and the different kitchens that exist, the styling and the color of this lovely pink kitchen always cause me to bring it back out.

When I got dressed this morning in my new dress from Milk Motion I knew the color was familiar – and yep, gorgeous just like my kitchen. It was meant to be. Continue reading →
