There were so many beautiful bandanas this year that I struggled only buying four. I kept thinking, four is plenty. You don’t NEED more than four. But, they are so pretty, I rather love them this year. I might have more than four. Continue reading
So Love Donna Flora is now open. Frankly there is so many wonderful things I am overwhelmed trying do decide what to buy myself. This dress from Ghee for Love Donna Flora was an easy choice for me, though, being my favorite color. Also, Ghee is a new-to-me store and that is always fun. The dress is alive, can you see the sparkles?
I am showing you the back so you can see that it enhanced with a big bow that drapes down the skirt. And look at it sparkle!
I wanted to go shopping somewhere new, so I put in SHOPPING MALL into SEARCH.
After wading through a bunch of places that had keywords shopping, shopping mall, big shopping mall, best shopping mall, shopping mall of the shopping, etc etc etc I found someplace that looked interested, said it was anime themed and I didn’t have anything better to do so I popped over.

Hello folks, i hope you still remember me and i hope you are doing good 🙂
Yeah, i have lots of things going on in my life right now, i hope i will be able to blog again as soon as possible.
Today i’m here for Squinternet, i was supposed to post before, but i really couldn’t. I hope she will read this, i’ll post it on my own blog too.
So, i would like to say a few things about her.
Last year, thanks to Cajsa’s Donna Flora A to Z Project i had the chance to know Squinternet Larnia. I knew her brand, her fabulous creations, of course, but i never talked to her before. After my post Giulia (yes, it’s her name) contacted me and we had a long talk, followed by others and i finally understood why people loved her so much not only as creator, but, most of all, as woman, as person.
Giulia told me her story, we talked about life, cancer, treatments, about fighting for life, about feelings, about friends, about love, we talked about many things. We never met before and we were talking like two old friends, it was simply amazing. Maybe speaking our own language (we’re both Italians) helped alot, you know it’s so much easier to say things when you speak your language 😛  She put one million smiles on my face and she left me speechless: someone in her conditions, in her situation would easily give up. She had the strength, the will and the hope not to give up. She loved life. Giulia loves life and she makes people love life.
Second Life is a fantastic virtual world made of real people: feelings and emotions are even more amplified here. So i know, Giulia, that you are reading this. Hey, sweet flower, look, you are so much loved and that’s wonderful, see what you’ve done! Don’t give up, you’re not allowed to!
I am with you, we are with you. My heart beats with yours.
I am Giulia, we are Giulia.
Tesoro, la vita riserva sempre continue sorprese, tu non smettere di combattere, di sperare. Chiudi gli occhi e senti l’amore che ti giunge da tutto il mondo attraverso questa pazza realtà virtuale, oltre agli affetti della RL. Non vedi quanto è bello? Tutto per te. Solo per te.
Ti sono tanto vicina, ti voglio bene.

I admit to you all that for years and years in Second Life, I was a blogger shut-in. Instead of exploring and hanging out and poking around this virtual world, I basically looked at stuff other people made, put it on, and then took photos of it. On the plus side I went from being completely sh*t at photography to developing kind of an eye for it, sometimes. It definitely feels rewarding, for example, to look back at how horrible my early flickr photos were! On the minus side, I’m only beginning to appreciate the variety and width of Second Life now… And ah, how sad, sometimes I stumble upon places scant weeks before they downsize and close.
People who aren’t such shut-ins as myself must know already that the beautiful Calas Galadhon parks (named after the elanor and nimphredil-covered hill beloved by the lady of Lorien) are going to close for a while in August. The parks will return, but different. Fewer sims, and some possibly members only. Please read more about it all here!
I’m glad I’m getting to see it all while I can. The sims are sprawling and whimsical in a truly natural way, and I enjoyed taking a dip in the duck-laden swamps. (If you can find the duck in my locks, below, you win a small internet. 😀 )

Monica Outlander is incorporating the new material technology into her fabrics and making clothing that is aglitter with possibilities. Take this love formal strapless gown – its classic shape updated with a vibrantly alive inset swatch of glittering sequins. This is what materials is made for, letting the sunshine in so it can play upon the textures of Second Life®.
I went over last night to make another pass at shopping before the onslaught, and wanted to cover some important stuff with you to make your, and everyone elses, shopping experience better.
Like any event, looking cute isn’t going to be your most important focus. Go look cute on the last day. Right now, it’s a struggle to get in. There is a script meter that’s going to let you know if you have on too many scripts. You’ll get three warnings and then if you don’t pare it down, you’re going to get TPd. I know this, because last night in a bikini, I kept getting it. As I swore at Cajsa and muttered in RL about it being BS, I realized my glasses and earrings were scripted, and once I took them off the warning stopped. Continue reading
I am sad! I took these photos of the sim Carpe Diem Surf, only to realize that the sim is group-only. (I stood up on a high hill and cammed in to photo the pretty beach.) Ah well, so it goes in my new life as a nature-and-scenery photographer. I snuck in a photo of my avatar in an old Katat0nik bikini just to keep some “fashion” in this post, but really, I wanted to show you this pretty sim!
More beach photos and brief credits behind the cut!
You hold fire in the night
In safety of this radiant light
We’ll warm our lungs and tame our eyes
Oh dear the slumbering dark will rise
Take the hands of what you’ve known
We’ll wake the earth and watch it grow
And write our love
Capture all the wonder here
And through the glow we’ll stand so still
All of these walls have been draped in white
And I won’t watch you say goodbye
Cast away the thoughts that haunt
These crowded rooms of love that’s lost
And through the fire, I’ve loved you still
Through the fire, I’ve loved you still

According to ABOUT.COM MaiTai translates into OUT OF THIS WORLD in Tahitian. Â It’s a rum drink and one of the most delicious treats to make you feel like you’re having a real grown up cocktail. It contains two kinds of rum for god’s sake.
Cocktails like that were made back when men were men and women were ladies or dames. Bliensen + MaiTai for Hair Fair 2013 has served up fantastic vintage looks that are elegant and true to the period they’re representing.
And take note ladies, she’s got an AWESOME BLONDE! Platinum is the tone I’m wearing and it’s appropriate for ladies and dames alike. Continue reading
