Well I admit I might have the most spoiled Zooby baby in all of the grid officially now. She not only has her own bedroom in my house, but now I got her Christmas gifts and these were Christmas cookies shipped for me with love. Well, it’s Tymmerie Thorne’s fault because she gave me extras from the Woodland Gacha and then well, I was so excited about it. So I also got her a doll wardrobe and some dolls.
WHY SHOULD MY FAKE BABY NOT HAVE CHRISTMAS PEOPLE? Continue reading
Wishing you all serenity, wishing you all peace, especially that inner peace some of us are still looking for and it seems so hard to find. Let’s not forget those who have nothing or no reason to celebrate, let’s not forget to share š
Love, Olela.
Oh yes, some CREDITS for you :
Lacuna has released an adorable teddy set for the holidays in cool white and candy stripes.
I love the slinky smooth texture that is sexy without being too provocative or unladylike Continue reading
If there is anything you learn growing up in the land of the ice and snow, it’s that you need to stay dry and keep the wet cold off of you. Layers, and the right ones are the key. You’ll get cold, but you won’t be TOO miserable by the time you get home to peel off Ā your frozen outerwear and warm back up.
Being warm is a bugaboo for me. As a child, we had a house with out insulation. After the blizzard hit, we spent many nights sleeping in every item of clothing we owned, on the floor in front of the fireplace.
So, I won’t be cold. Not ever, if I can help it. Continue reading
It’s time! Time to wrap up the SL Christmas and get those presents where they belong. The hours are ticking along and with RL time now at a premium, I know most of us will be seeing less of the grid and more of the people who really matter. Continue reading
I just love the sweater vest from Tee*fy for this round of Collabor88. My Mom would knit me one every year just like them, though she used this super-fine, lightweight yarn that was so soft. I loved them all. Azure Electricteeth layered the sweater vest with an oxford-cloth shirt though she didn’t tuck the shirt in which would have made my mom tsk-tsk and not let me out the door. She was a stickler!

I am hoping each and everyone of you will make an effort in the next 24 hours to pop over to The Velvet and contribute to the annual fundraising event for Heifer International. This is a combination First and Second Life event that takes place at The Star Lounge in Chicago and The Velvet in Second Life and raises a little over $1500 or so for Heifer International each year. If every reader stops by and makes a contribution – you will blast through the past and break records. As a treat, Maht Wuyts will even play some of his own recordings – and believe me, it’s a treat.
I had a little free time so I decided to hit the road for the Holiday Home Tour this weekend (Contact Tymmerie Thorne for a NC of Slurls ASAP! It’s only today and tomorrow!). It was a gorgeous winter day to get out and I managed to get through three lovely homes before I had to get home to relieve the sitter. Continue reading
I thought it might be fun to test the direct to FlickrĀ® photography in Second LifeĀ®. Since I wanted to shoot this fabulously minimalist dress from NYU which is on sale for Fifty Linden Friday, I thought this was the perfect time to try it out, cutting out the intermediate steps of cropping my photos in Photoshop and uploading them to Flickr. It seemed to work fine, though the text limit cut off my credits and I had to rewrite them. I just specified 3000 by 3000 for size to get a square picture and lined it up in SL. Since you can see the preview, it’s just a matter of refreshing until you get it framed the way you want it before uploading.
There’s a fabulous mesh jacket from Compulsion at FaMESHed that is designed to work well over your mesh tops and dresses. It works perfectly and comes in several colors.
