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. 😀

School’s begun and mostly I’d like to be at the beach. Luckily it’s almost good beach weather in Florida (not so ridiculously hot), and this is totally achievable, just as soon as I feel better from treatments. Instead, I had a lazy morning staying in from work and headed to Dream Island in SL. Oddly enough it’s listed in the destination guide’s haunted category, but it must’ve had a thematic shift at some point because it was simply a lovely beach. I poked into a few coves, accidentally checked out someone else’s beach bungalo (oops!), and went diving with the orca. I like beach sims that don’t ignore the stuff below water!

I’m wearing a new-to-me designer, Trinite, today. I like the flirtiness of the cropped schoolgirl shirt and skirt, cutely done! More photos of the sim are behind the cut.
