The Phone Rings At 7 Am…

I had this blog post planned. A couple of Arcade items, an item from Acid Lily, some Collabor88 – a well rounded event post. I’d shot it over a couple of days, dorking around with lighting, realizing after ten shots I was on medium resolution (this explained a lot).

Then my real life phone rang.  The cellphone in my pocket rang – and I looked at it with dread. No one calls you with good news at 7am. No one. It was Cajsa and I knew why she was calling.

You probably know it too, our friend Giulia, SL’s Squinternet Larnia had died. Cajsa was calling me to let me know, so that I didn’t read it on the internet that a friend had died. Continue reading

Fall Fever

Apparently fall fever is here but you wouldn’t be able to tell it where I live. It’s been 100 degrees for a week and will continue to be boob sweat weather for at least another week. Anyways, the lovely thing about SL is that my avatar neither sweats nor gets runny mascara. I can put her in a sweater, like the new one you see below from Cracked Mirror, and a cute skirt which is also new from CM, and she is just fine.

Stuff and things and more stuff and more things

Miriel (1)

This is the first time I’ve been organized about Arcade. I guess this is because Arcade is more and more organized too. I looked through the shopping previews carefully, put on Allegory’s full-body alpha and adjusted my settings according to her recommendation. Then I headed to the Arcade cam ship and cammed in. All of this added to a good experience, I was able to cam around and get things without much freezing or crashing at all, quite a unique experience on my Mac.

Then I got a bunch of awesome stuff! I’m wearing some of it now, and a lot more is in this photo over here. The elegant dress I’m wearing is from Evie’s Closet, the bronze edition of her Miriel dress. It’s my first poofy dress made of mesh, and very interesting to see how it moves. Now it’s time to go read to the Pwnies … enjoy your Wednesdays!

I’m Golden

After a long lazy weekend it felt like I needed to get serious with some SRSS BSNSS fashion and luckily there were new releases to comply.

Ploom has released one of my all time favorite hair styles that they’ve ever made.  It’s got a slightly teased 6os style poof in back but melts into a dreamy whispy look as it’s pulled to  the side.  I love the HUD options from Ploom – and her blondes are impeccable.  This is going to be a great hair style for lots of different looks.  Continue reading

Lurking about Cupcake

Cupcake (1)

Last night I went for a wander through Cupcake, home of my pal Marie’s shop Milk Motion, among others. The shopping sim is just lovely, and reminds me of cute little northern European cities full of new things gently poured into old shells. The buildings and streets seem designed for walking traffic, with little arcades and gardens here and there, and the shops all entirely suit the sim. I’m loving what Marie is doing with mesh, and she’s always incredibly on-trend with her stuff. It’s a little like seeing Urban Outfitter’s catalog for next year, or Zara’s from this year.

I’m also wearing a new gorgeous skin from MiaSnow, her Walker skin. I am a huge sucker for her stuff and always have been, ever since the green and splotchy days (and I’ve kept every single skin she’s made). This one is a beautiful greyish purple like a decaying corpse, but perfectly made up like a drag queen. You can find it in the Marketplace, and pause for some black insect-like eyes too.

I actually got to the Arcade boat, so in this photo is my first item from Arcade, whee. Best of luck to all of you for reaching it, and getting what you want! The only thing left on my to-buy list are the Curio Obscura monster boots… More photos and credits behind the cut.

And lol — Gidge just got me sucked into the Grumpy Cat avvie. Nice post, Gidge!

I <3 my MiaSnow Walker skin

LOTD – September 1 2013

My look today is brought to you by Indyra and features one of the newest releases, Madrigal.

Indrya - Madrigal 1

I have been pleasantly surprised by Indyra lately. In the past, the products were out of my price range, but since her venture into the mesh world of fashion the outfits have been moving more into my idea of a value purchase. When I can purchase ALL colors of an outfit, for what I used to pay for one dress… well, I’ll do that ANYDAY!

Who shot the jukebox?

Miss Gidge

When I went back to Wild Texas Rose to get the slurl for y’all, I stumbled into a saloon. The saloon had a country DJ, and a lot of people line dancing. I’d never really thought about line dancing in SL, but of course it exists! How silly of me! (I admit I’ve only really been to the Aviary and the Velvet. I need to get off my arse more.)

I went to the sim because it was promoted in the destination guide, and because it’s beautiful. It has a little western town on an island surrounded by a river, and beyond that, gorgeous southwestern mesas — yep that’s right, I came for the mesas. They look fabulous in sunset windlights!

I also lured Gidge out to pose for me (that’s right, that ain’t me in that thar photo). This woman wears more half-naked than I wear fully clothed, no joke! Click the cut tag to see more photos of this lovely sim, and to see ALL THE STUFF GIDGE WEARS. 😀

Why do I blog?

aug29_009

This is my favorite cycle of Collabor88 ever. While celebrating their 2nd anniversary, they are also celebrating the vibrant and daring fashions of the 1920s. While some designers stayed solidly in the era, others brought 1920’s sensibilities and details into 2013. Azure Electricteeth of Tee*fy gave us an updated, modern version of the 20s bringing the loose fit, the dropped waist and art deco details on the belt forward with a decidedly modern pair of separates.

Gidge sparked discussion the other day when she asked “Whyfor bloggest thou?” The general consensus is that people blog because they like it. That’s my reason for blogging, too. That’s also the obvious answer. Why would people spend hours on an unpaid hobby if they didn’t like it? However, I thought I might dig a little deeper and ask why I like it. Where are the rewards that make it worthwhile and pleasurable.

The One Where I Ride a Very Surprised Horse

Well, it said if I joined the group I got a free horse. I was probably wrong to presume it would be as nice as the horses other people were riding. But, I was whisked back to 2008 with this beauty.

Also my world became lag hell while riding her, and had to abandon.

I wasn’t really dressed to ride though, actually. So it’s just as well. Continue reading
