Veni, Vidi, Emi

The shopping this weekend has been absolutely ridiculous in the best possible way. The HAIR FAIR opened, Truth District Opened, the sale days have been awesome plus Disco Deals is still going on.

That’s the bit I’m mostly going to go on about right now.

But before that. Can I just get all lame on you and rave all “love love love” about this dress? Ok I can do better than that. Continue reading

I'm Giving This Hair A Raspberry

Ok that’s a lie. I’m not.

You Know Something Is Great

jun 25_007

Every once in a while something comes along and you see it everywhere – dozens of bloggers blog it, everyone wears it and when you try to buy it, the store is full. The thing is, you know you are going to make the effort to get there and wait in the lag for it to rez because you know it will be great. The Ara top from MiaMai is just one of those things. What’s my first clue? Olela, Gidge and I all just shot it to blog – a confluence of fashion love never seen before at It’s Only Fashion. The thing is, this top is so well done and so fun that it overcame my usual preference for full-length tops. I don’t often wear a short cropped top, but this one won my heart with its sassy prints and gorgeous sculpted folds.

Unlike my Ara-wearing compatriots, I didn’t wear jeans, opting for the wrap skirt from G. Field. I love this skirt and didn’t find it necessary to wear the alpha layer to prevent my glitch pants from peeking through. To be honest, I find making my hips invisible a bit freakier than an occasional peek of glitch pants.

Look at Me!

Cliff the Plurking Cat

I received a card from the Oregon Humane Society this morning telling me that a donation was made in Cliff’s memory from my friends in Second Life. I went to the memorial and the wonderful sale in Cliff’s memory that happened this weekend and cried a lot – happy tears that my friends would do something so lovely in his memory and that people would support it so much. Thanks to you, more than $100 was raised for the Humane Society and I know they can use it, not counting other personal donations made to their own local Humane Society.

Cliff was a wonderful cat and I miss him very much. I had him from the day he was born in my bed on June 15, 1992 until he went to sleep in my arms on June 16, 2011. He was a big part of my life and a constant companion full of love and affection. He’s buried next to his mother who died of old age last year. He had a happy life and even had all his own teeth at the old age of 19. Sadly he had lymphoma and was not responding to treatment. It was the best decision for him and since the vet came to my home, it was a quiet, peaceful experience. It was the best it could be.

You looking at me?

Oscar

I went to the Humane Society right away and found a new baby to love. His name is Oscar and he’s 11, so older than I planned. But I took one look at him and saw he needed someone to love him as he is. He had been at the OHS for 8 months and developed the habit of washing his face constantly. He’s been home with me less than 10 days and already his skin is looking better. He’s just a bit OCD. He spends a lot of time hiding under the covers, under the bed, under the couch – but he still has a lot of love to give and just needs to feel safe and calm and he comes out for cuddles.

Oscar the Plurking Cat

Oscar the loooooocat

There’s one way he is like Cliff, he likes to plurk. One of his first messages was “0————————————looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooo” which prompted someone to call him the lo cat. He’s figured out how to change my browser preferences, close all windows, restart my desktop and even can turn on my i-pod and fast forward playing a few measures of a song, then another, then another. He’s loud, opinionated and spunky. I can’t wait to see what adventures we will have.

Look of the day :) :) :)

Hi! Hope everyone is doing good 🙂
Let me show you my look of the day, i definitely adore each one of these items.

My look of the day  :) :) :)

Aikea Rieko from Plastik has recently released the Aeda Slacks because, as she wrote in the notecard she sent to the group “I realized that i make tons of dresses and shirts and don’t have many pants!”.
And she did good, the new collection is fantastic, it consists of jeans, pants,capris, minis, shorts, each one available in 1 million colors. My fav are the skinnies which you can see in the picture: the style, the cut and the texture left me speechless! I really think they are the best skinnies i’ve seen so far. Great job, Aikea!
The Ara shirt from Miamai is another fantastic new release. It’s a sculpted top/shirt made of layered fabrics, sparkling sequin and print silk. It comes in 6 different color variations, the one i’m wearing in the picture is the “Summernight” color. Thank you, Monica! *mwah*

After the cut more cuteness!

Join the Hair Fair Demo Group

Curio Obscura

Hair Fair is starting soon – on July 2nd. I hope you have been hoarding lindens. One of the frequent difficulties people experience at Hair Fair is the long wait for the demos to rez, particularly with all the people there. That’s why they formed a demo group that people can join for free and get the demos delivered to them in the comfort of their own home. Then, they can try on demos in quiet, lag-free peace. They can have demo parties with their friends. They can stand around naked in their demos. They can juggle their demos in the air. (Well, maybe not.) They did this last year and the home-delivered demos were a boon for many a Hair Fair devotee.

Curio Obscura

So, the time is ripe for you to join the Hair Fair Demo group. Demos will begin going out on July 1st. You can join the Hair Fair DEMO Group by looking in Search Groups, or copy paste this link secondlife:///app/group/2e30d166-f3e5-e2de-ff72-b3da2d06ded2/about into chat in world.

More About Cliff the Plurking Cat….from Dark Mouse and MIAO

Two of the creators who have participated in the CLIFF THE PLURKING CAT Memorial Fundraiser are MIAO and Dark Mouse. I’m showing off their creations because I think you probably need them.

The sunglasses from Dark Mouse are absolute WIN and I’m in love.

The kitty cat locket strung on pearls (all of which is color change YAY) and you can put your own pretty picture inside. I’m lazy so this is how it comes, I didn’t change the pic.

Now there is still lots of time to go see the other amazing things you can get there!

Your Taxi to the Sale!

 

 

100 PERCENT of the Donations raised are going to the Oregon Humane Society. Please feel free to review our contact with this agency thus far.

We don’t imagine we’ll make a million dollars, maybe enough for a case or two cat food and the warm fuzzy feeling from remembering that crazy cat Cliff who used to make us smile so often with his wailing and antics.

I hope you have time to stop by and do some shopping this weekend. Cliff would thank you.
