Exquisite

oct21_007

A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:
Its lovliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness; but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.

Can pixel dust be a joy forever? I think so. I think you will find moments of breathtaking beauty that can linger in memory forever. I had such a moment while on the swing at Humanoid, the installation on Gilmour sim. I jumped on the swing and when I zoomed in and out – the perspective change was dizzying. Zooming in, the flexis in my hair blew in the breeze and my skirt seemed to pool around me. It was hard to stop and actually take some photos.

I knew I wanted to find some place extraordinary for this dress from Ephemera. The skirt textures are so beautiful and the entire dress just made me feel like a princess in a fairy tale. I needed a fairy tale setting and I found one. Funny story, I have seen photos that said they were taken at Humanoid and decided to go explore long ago. However, I went to Humanoid, the sim, not the installation. They are very different. The sim is the giant mo-cap store and is quite distinctive with its red-grid terrain, but it has a very utilitarian, modern mood without any of the soft, dreamlike romanticism of the installation.

Sissy did it again!

Sissy did it again!

I’m obviously talking about Sissy Pessoa, the talented mind behind Baiastice. And, yes, she did it again, she made mo go woohoo when i saw one of her latest releases, the fantastic Emi boots.
In the following pictures i’m wearing them along with an amazing outfit also from Baiastice, its name is Meriera and is part of the Fall Collection, seen on the Modavia Fashion Week 2011’s runway.

Sissy rocks!

Emi

These beautiful suede fringe boots are available in many colors: also, they come with two different height designs, the High Boots and the High Boots fold up, so you can switch from one style to another, according to your outfit or just your mood 😉
Don’t you just love them??? I’m sure Gidge does, as she blogged about them, too. That means the Emi boots rock! 😀

The Flesh Game: My Road to Reality TV Victory

The Flesh Game - the first murder

I showed up a few minutes late for the first day of shooting of the new reality show, The Flesh Game. Clearly they have not been in the business for long because there were no paparazzi and no step and repeat for photos to introduce us to the soon-to-be adoring public. So my fashionably thirty minutes late was not right on time as it should have been and the studio lobby was empty except for disappointed hopefuls who did not get the lucky 7th and last opening in this game.

Trilemma

oct15_002

Three dishcloths to choose from and which way should I go? Decisions, decisions. It was much easier deciding what to wear as this cute little outfit from Malt came with the skirt and jacket together. And that jacket!!! I love, love, love it and we probably haul it out again to wear with some nice black slacks when the weather gets a bit colder.

SL Weekly Words Challenge – AUTUMN

To me autumn always means the launch of the spookiest time of year, in the month of my birth. It’s absolutely my favorite time of year. I cannot get enough of the macabre or creepy and am constantly drawn to everything haunted and spooky. Continue reading

Seek and Ye Shall Find

Oct15_020

Seek and ye shall find;
knock and the door shall be open;
ask and it shall be given
and the love come a trickling down.

That was one of my favorite childhood songs was from a decrepit album of my sisters called The Womenfolk. Don’t worry if you’ve never heard of them. No one’s heard of them. Incredibly, though, I found the song by them on YouTube. It was an old album and it appealed to my five year old sensibilities with some nonsense songs sprinkled in with traditional folk songs. I played it over and over until it was worn out. Despite its religious theme, it still appeals to me and when I find myself feeling impatient and frustrated, I will still sing the chorus to remind myself that patience is virtue worth holding onto hard and fast. Certainly a good theme song for hunts.

Since it was from a hunt, I decided to shoot at Hide and Seek. It’s a lovely sim, though I had to turn my music off because every step seems to put me in a different music parcel. It was very weird musically.

A few years ago, Gidge and I did a couple hunts of 100 stores or so. Funny thing, though, I never unpacked the items and they sat in a folder in my inventory reminding me that hunts are not for me. There’s a couple reasons for this. Once the hunt is over, I don’t want to blog the items since I try to avoid blogging things that readers won’t be able to get for themselves if they wish. I make a few exceptions for some gloves and leggings that I will hold onto forever. People don’t just read today’s post, but half the views each day are from posts from long ago and far away. The second reason is that events are so very well covered in the blogs. There are several blogs that focus heavily on sales and hunts such as The SL Circadian, Seraphim,  and Shopping Cart Disco. But then I saw this jacket!

Fall Colors are Cool Beans

Nothing in the fashion world makes me go MEH faster than a tank top. Oh you made a tank top? Yawn….

Unless it’s cute.

Which I why I like to be the first to show off CUTE tanks when someone takes the time to make something nice, there are just too many really average boring pieces out there for you to MISS something pretty.

Cool Beans has released the Demure Rose tank tops in pretty tones that are perfect for fall. Continue reading

1963 – The Year that Gave Us Doctor Who

Oct12_021b

1963 was a seminal year in American life.  It was the year of the Kennedy Assassination – a moment like 9/11 where everyone alive then can tell you what they were doing at the moment they learned of it. It was also the year that brought us Doctor Who and the release of the first Beatles album.  1963 will be celebrated in all its glory tonight at theRock per Annum event at the Velvet. Exploring the development of rock from 1960 to 2012, each week focuses on the music of just one year. It’s been a fascinating process so far because the music for each year is so much fuller and more varied than one expects.

It's a Matter of Perspective

Oct09_006

I was getting read to shoot this outfit when Gidge and I went shopping. After a bit of a spree, we headed over to Collabor88. Now I thought I had put together a pretty good outfit, but I had that affirmed with a massive compliment when out of the blue a total stranger asked if she could shoot my look for her blog. Of course I said yes! I still hadn’t settled on earrings yet, but I was close to done.
