It means that Nicki Minaj has no trouble making money

It’s all my fault, really. I let them talk me into feeding the cat in the morning again. I knew full well that I’d be in for nightly wake-ups — 2 AM, 4 AM, 5 AM… 5:30 AM… the damned thing can’t actually read a clock to know when 6 AM is. She keeps waking me up until I shut her into the living room so that she stops stepping on my bladder and meowing into my ear. It’s a sad business, hungry morning cats. The result is that I’ve had interrupted sleep for four months now, and I admit that I’m a little exhausted.

How exhausted? So exhausted that I have Nicki Minaj’s Beez in the Trap stuck on autorepeat in my brain. My brain is inordinately proud that I went and looked up every single lyric, too. Do you know what Beez in the Trap means? I DO. I could expound upon it, but I won’t.

Instead, my avatar took a little trip to the cutely surreal surroundings of the lovely Honey Kitty sim of Quartet. It looks like the maker scaled back lately. No longer is the build a full-sized crazy themepark full of elephants and broken toys and magic; only about half of it is. The rest seems to be houses. Well and good, I’m glad designers are keeping afloat somehow in this fallen world of ours.

So yeah. Quartet — go see the giant cat and the pig in the tractor and the plethora of giraffe, and support Honey Kitty too. [SLURL]

So Love Donna Flora is now open. Frankly there is so many wonderful things I am overwhelmed trying do decide what to buy myself. This dress from Ghee for Love Donna Flora was an easy choice for me, though, being my favorite color. Also, Ghee is a new-to-me store and that is always fun. The dress is alive, can you see the sparkles?

I am showing you the back so you can see that it enhanced with a big bow that drapes down the skirt. And look at it sparkle!

I am Giulia

Leave a reply

Hello folks, i hope you still remember me and i hope you are doing good 🙂
Yeah, i have lots of things going on in my life right now, i hope i will be able to blog again as soon as possible.

Today i’m here for Squinternet, i was supposed to post before, but i really couldn’t. I hope she will read this, i’ll post it on my own blog too.

So, i would like to say a few things about her.

Last year, thanks to Cajsa’s Donna Flora A to Z Project i had the chance to know Squinternet Larnia. I knew her brand, her fabulous creations, of course, but i never talked to her before. After my post Giulia (yes, it’s her name) contacted me and we had a long talk, followed by others and i finally understood why people loved her so much not only as creator, but, most of all, as woman, as person.

Donna Flora I

Giulia told me her story, we talked about life, cancer, treatments, about fighting for life, about feelings, about friends, about love, we talked about many things. We never met before and we were talking like two old friends, it was simply amazing. Maybe speaking our own language (we’re both Italians) helped alot, you know it’s so much easier to say things when you speak your language 😛  She put one million smiles on my face and she left me speechless: someone in her conditions, in her situation would easily give up. She had the strength, the will and the hope not to give up. She loved life. Giulia loves life and she makes people love life.

Donna Flora II

Donna Flora III

Second Life is a fantastic virtual world made of real people: feelings and emotions are even more amplified here. So i know, Giulia, that you are reading this. Hey, sweet flower, look, you are so much loved and that’s wonderful, see what you’ve done! Don’t give up, you’re not allowed to!

I am with you, we are with you. My heart beats with yours.

I am Giulia, we are Giulia.

Tesoro, la vita riserva sempre continue sorprese, tu non smettere di combattere, di sperare. Chiudi gli occhi e senti l’amore che ti giunge da tutto il mondo attraverso questa pazza realtà virtuale, oltre agli affetti della RL. Non vedi quanto è bello? Tutto per te. Solo per te.
Ti sono tanto vicina, ti voglio bene.

Donna Flora IV

I admit to you all that for years and years in Second Life, I was a blogger shut-in. Instead of exploring and hanging out and poking around this virtual world, I basically looked at stuff other people made, put it on, and then took photos of it. On the plus side I went from being completely sh*t at photography to developing kind of an eye for it, sometimes. It definitely feels rewarding, for example, to look back at how horrible my early flickr photos were! On the minus side, I’m only beginning to appreciate the variety and width of Second Life now… And ah, how sad, sometimes I stumble upon places scant weeks before they downsize and close.

People who aren’t such shut-ins as myself must know already that the beautiful Calas Galadhon parks (named after the elanor and nimphredil-covered hill beloved by the lady of Lorien) are going to close for a while in August. The parks will return, but different. Fewer sims, and some possibly members only. Please read more about it all here!

I’m glad I’m getting to see it all while I can. The sims are sprawling and whimsical in a truly natural way, and I enjoyed taking a dip in the duck-laden swamps. (If you can find the duck in my locks, below, you win a small internet. 😀 )

Monica Outlander is incorporating the new material technology into her fabrics and making clothing that is aglitter with possibilities. Take this love formal strapless gown – its classic shape updated with a vibrantly alive inset swatch of glittering sequins. This is what materials is made for, letting the sunshine in so it can play upon the textures of Second Life®.

Carpe Diem Surf (1)

I am sad! I took these photos of the sim Carpe Diem Surf, only to realize that the sim is group-only. (I stood up on a high hill and cammed in to photo the pretty beach.) Ah well, so it goes in my new life as a nature-and-scenery photographer. I snuck in a photo of my avatar in an old Katat0nik bikini just to keep some “fashion” in this post, but really, I wanted to show you this pretty sim!

More beach photos and brief credits behind the cut!

Wake The Earth

hmm_003

You hold fire in the night
In safety of this radiant light
We’ll warm our lungs and tame our eyes
Oh dear the slumbering dark will rise

Take the hands of what you’ve known
We’ll wake the earth and watch it grow
And write our love

Capture all the wonder here
And through the glow we’ll stand so still
All of these walls have been draped in white
And I won’t watch you say goodbye

Cast away the thoughts that haunt
These crowded rooms of love that’s lost
And through the fire, I’ve loved you still
Through the fire, I’ve loved you still

The Honey Trees

Winterfell Absinthe at sunset

Hello! I’ve been away on a long journey this weekend, a staycation in my own state, and due to this my avatar decided to put on some hippie clothing and check out Winterfell Absinthe. I appreciate the urban planning of the sim. It definitely looks vaguely fantasy-historic (of an uncertain date in history, postmodern-gothic?), and I’m always a sucker for glowy trees and stone circles.

I have the proper boots for it too, psychedelic and beautiful Amargosa boots (my version had a bijillion possible textures) from Schadenfreude. So. Amargosa is a valley in Nevada, or a star system from Star Trek, or a municipality in Brazil. Now they’re boots, too!

I’ve been so busy designing my sim and then working on another that I’ve completely forgot about blogging. I felt pretty cute today (especially because I have a ton of new hair from the hair fair) that I decided a look of the day post was in order.

Sim info pending

Today I dressed up in Helena Stringer’s pointy Dreadicorn hair and wandered over to the sim of Skye Neist. I didn’t get to explore much. Truth be told, I lied to myself that I had time before work to take a photo or two, but I was actually kind of wrong. I didn’t have time for that, and ended up short-changing both the photos and my job (*cough* traffic sure was bad today). Still, it was nice to take a mental journey before heading into Normal Land, and this sim was very evocative!

I actually dressed this way so that I could be Gidge’s polar opposite. She bought the white version of this Milk Motion Collabor88 dress, so I had to go demonic. See her pretty crying angelface over here.
