Returning

One of my favorite SL sim builders is Marcus Inkpen whose amazing Utopia 4 build remains a standout for me – though it’s long gone. He’s also the genius behind the stunning Looking Glass sim.

I was thrilled to learn that he has a new sim installation called The Returning. This is one on of the Linden Endowment for the Arts sims. Prepare to be amazed as you look at the pictures from the Flickr group for the sim. I must thank Ryker Beck for sharing a picture of the sim on her plurk – or I might not have known about it.

Bunga Mawar

Leave a reply
Pink Flamingo

The Luka dress from LeeZu is all about the fabric with its beautiful design and the form, with its exaggerated sleeves.

It’s funny how the mind works, I was looking at the fabulous new mesh dress from LeeZu and its extra-long sleeves. They reminded me of three former housemates of mine from Malaysia. They were Muslim women who usually wore Western dress but with longer skirts and a hijab that covered their bodice and sleeves to right about the length of these sleeves. They were already in my mind when I saw the back of the dress and all of a sudden out of my memory bank popped the Malay expression for rose, bunga mawar. I never actually learned Malay while living with them, but absorbed enough that I could contribute to a Malay conversation in English. I thought I had forgotten everything until I saw this dress.

A bunga mawar by any other name would smell as sweet.

Things my father taught me

2 Replies

Using alternatives to PhotoShop - I edited this with LunaPic to emphasize the pouring rain.

I have many great memories of my father. I remember him singing and playing banjo, dancing with my mom and telling stories with a twinkle in his eye. I remember his voice and his laughter. One of my strongest and most powerful memories, though, is from a day he made me miserable and angry.

My dad and a picture of the woods above the river

I grew up in the country on the far side of a lake, deep in the woods. It was a 3.5 mile walk to the school bus, though I often shaved some off that by taking deer paths through the woods. That day it was raining and dad offered to give me a ride to the school bus stop. We had gone about a mile when a squirrel ran in front of the car and we could hear a slight thud as it was struck by the car. Dad pulled over to make sure it was dead, but it had run off into the woods.

Narcissus With Red Lips – Another SL9B Preview

Narcissus in Red Lipstick

As Cajsa and I feverishly work on our SL9B exhibit, I took a break to snap another pic on our parcel because I just finished up my half of that work and was kind of excited.

I’m not going to spill the beans on our parcel’s theme but I think that the great big blogger family of SL will find it fun and interesting if nothing else.

The reason we have a parcel, is as Cajsa put it “Gidge had a whim.” That’s true. It was one of those messages I kept seeing on log in so HEY YAY FOR MARKETING I GUESS IT WORKED, and I was thinking, that’d be kinda cool, participate – be part of the community. In my mind, I had something very simple planned. I said “Hey CAJSA SIGN US UP.” And she did, we got accepted and she flailed “OMG NOW WHAT?” I had no idea.

Cajsa,  on the other hand does nothing half way, and what went from my whim has turned into a full on project that’s just amazing.

She’s lovely like that.

SL9B is coming……..

WTG

When I saw the new group gift from WTG celebrating their 3rd year, I knew it was time to check out the MiaMai Wedding Gown Collection to find one I could wear with it. There were so many to choose from and Monica also made the gowns in many colors, recognizing that modern brides are open to variety and individuality in color. However, I went with the traditional white in order to incorporate the jewelry. By the way, if you want a peek at some of the rest of the Bridal Collection, there’s a few great posts already: from Grazia Horwitz. Vaki Zenovka and of course, on the MiaMai store blog.

Palm Springs Cottage by Barnesworth Anubis

Barnesworth Anubis has brought us the luxury of the dry heat and of the southwest in his Palm Springs cottage.

The patio and pool are gorgeously landscaped with local plants and it’s roomy enough to add any pieces you might have brought when you moved out west. Continue reading →
