Do These Glasses Make Me Look Smart?

Leave a reply

The glasses and necklaces from YUMMY this round of COLLABOR88 are rocking my socks, nearly as much as anything else.  It’s difficult when one of your favorite styles in SL is all around you, to choose which thing you like best. So I won’t choose. I love the hair, I love the skin, I love the decor, I just LOVE it all.

That’s unusual. Some bloggers rave how much they love everything and while I don’t blog things I dislike, I don’t always LOVE everything anywhere. Even events I really enjoy, there are often pieces I think, eh, not me.  Continue reading →

Collabor88 is set to open it’s doors to the next wave of shopping frenzy and this month’s theme is going to be hard to miss. The rockabilly styling and classic tailoring of this month’s clothing releases hard NOT to love, even if you don’t think cherries go with cheetah. Continue reading →

I Got Stuck On Monday

Leave a reply

Pixel Gidge had a hectic Monday. Life is harder when everything is slow in your SL. But she got dressed in a cute new jumpsuit from BAIASTICE for FAMESHED, and managed to make her coffee for the day.

That’s where she got stuck, alas.

There were more pictures, there were shoes. But my computer put them somewhere secret. So they aren’t to be known.

But PIxel Gidge had her caffeine and headed out into the world. What fashion and adventures she found remain to be seen.

Change Is Good

Convair has released a new house that is perfect for those of us who dwell next to the water, or heck for anyone who likes wide open spaces inside their home. I’ve just started to settle in, it takes me a while to sort out what from the old I will keep and what I want that is new. The Pinewood Cottage has a large open floorplan on the first floor and I’ve already gotten the dining area and the kitchen started.

The Darya Dining set from Trompe Loeil is available at Fameshed and comes in a variety of seasonal or neutral tones, plus you can put out plates and flatware as you like, based on you prim allowance. I have chosen the SPRING set with the blues and pinks as accents. I’ve added a mexican feast from Rassassy that I picked up last year.  Continue reading →

The Enchantment event has kicked off and there is a lot that’s new and exciting for this round. Today I’m showing off the gown from the Annex (slightly), the skin which is a gift from The Sugar Garden for a completed stamp card, and the veiled horns from tsg, as well as the hair from Mina.

There is a step by step set of instructions courtesy of Voshie on the BLOG as well as – ALL THE SLURLS WOOOOO! Everything you need to shop and or fill out one or more stamp cards!

Beauty Lost

Leave a reply

A.N Roquelare’s version of SLEEPING BEAUTY is the subject of ENCHANTMENT this round which is set to kick off on MAY 1. If you are unfamiliar with the story, let’s just be ladylike and say that the prince doesn’t wake her up with a kiss. Also, he never lets her wear clothes. There’s lots more than that but if I shared it, it would spoil the fun of you reading it yourself.

The adventures in domination, submission and Beauty are the theme and the creators have done a spectacular job of bringing these themes of the darker and different version of the fairy tale to our SL.  Continue reading →

It Takes a Lot of Work

Leave a reply

I always laugh a little when I get dressed, remembering Dolly Parton in Steel Magnolia’s declaring “It takes a lot of work to look like this!”  What I wanted to look like this morning was comfortable. It’s Sunday, and luckily Girl Thursday just released adorable casual clothes that are perfect for your adventures on such a relaxed day.

I made my coffee and perused the sales, trying to decide where to head out to first.   Continue reading →

My Neck Is Made Of Steel

Leave a reply

I love rollers for my SL hair. I love all things that, as my friend Isla says “enhance the narrative”. Pixel Gidge is a character and her pixel life is played out for the most part here on this blog. Rollers are exactly what a girl this prissy would need, and let’s face it, she would have LOTS of different kinds.

Tiny Bird released a set of can rollers YEARS ago that were adorable. This past week Truth and Ploom both released roller hair dos for us pixel girls, and since I’ve already blogged Truth’s – let’s take a look at PLOOM!

Ploom made roller cans which is hilarious and cute.  As always you can use the hair dye hud of your choice – I’m using one of the dipped huds. I also am amused because these cans appear to be full.

NO SACRIFICE IS TOO GREAT FOR BEAUTIFUL HAIR LADIES. I don’t care what they weigh – get those cans in your hair. It’s Friday – time to get cute!

Gidge Is Wearing:
Skin: BELLEZA – Ria – 1
Lip Gloss: BELLZA – Gloss for Ria 1
Eyes: Ikon
Lashes: Amacci
Hair: Ploom – RECYCLE
Pose:Pretense

Let’s Go

I miss the days when I would get off work and come home and GET READY TO GO OUT. It was exciting, that my day was getting ready to get started at 6pm and the night was ahead. Makeup, hair and nails would be freshened up as we headed out into the adventure of the night.

Those were the days. Now mostly I just would like a nap. Continue reading →

Coffee and a Smoke

Leave a reply

Sasy tells me I am only allowed to smoke in SL because I do not smoke in RL. I suppose that’s fair. I’m blonde and svelte in SL also – and that’s also the opposite of RL so symmetry is good.

Tuesday mornings are my bane. I always think of great things I should just HOP ON AND DO in Azeroth and then I forget my servers are always down for maintenance right now. And I pout and stomp about.

Or I have a coffee and a smoke, as it were.

I’m wearing one of my favorites from COLLABOR88 this month – from ISON. You definitely need both the tank and the skirt – they are gorgeous together and will work great as staples to wear with other things.

I’m also sporting hair from a new hair dresser – KOY. This is Belle – and I love the blondes on the HUD.  You can hop this slurl to find KOY at THE DECK.

Well I’m dressed for work, so I had better get to it.

Ttfn.
