I took a walk around the LOVE DONNA FLORA sim last night and stumbled into Anya Ohmai’s booth where she is selling these adorable bunnies to snuggle.
It’s so cute, you can change the buttons, the flag or the color of the whole bunny. And it’s perfect for night time snugglies. Continue reading
I started out my Sunday perfectly, in a beautiful vineyard with a winding country road. Every few meters a cart or tent awaits a creator to come fill it with it’s goodies for the upcoming LOVE DONNA FLORA event.
I drug my heavy boxes and pose stand down the path until I got to my tent and got set up before the morning sun made me too hot.
I did end up stopping in the courtyard at the center of the build at the event, just to enjoy the scenery and have a cool drink. It was about that time that I realized, I hadn’t SHOPPED ALL DAY!
I decided to rectify this immediately. Continue reading
Hello! I’ve been away on a long journey this weekend, a staycation in my own state, and due to this my avatar decided to put on some hippie clothing and check out Winterfell Absinthe. I appreciate the urban planning of the sim. It definitely looks vaguely fantasy-historic (of an uncertain date in history, postmodern-gothic?), and I’m always a sucker for glowy trees and stone circles.
I have the proper boots for it too, psychedelic and beautiful Amargosa boots (my version had a bijillion possible textures) from Schadenfreude. So. Amargosa is a valley in Nevada, or a star system from Star Trek, or a municipality in Brazil. Now they’re boots, too!
Boots: Schadenfreude Amargosa boots (mine have an insane texture changing hud)
Nails: Mandala short nails
Hand tattoo: Schadenfreude elephant hand tattoo
Dress: u.f.o. bohemian islet dress – tomtom
Hair: fashionably Dead venus windy – light ombre 2, for hair fair
Jeans: vintage Tres Blah
Eyes: MIASNOW eyes – SHINE mint
Makeup: MIASNOW makeup, green half lip
Skin: MIASNOW skin, Sweety pale tan exotic
Sim: Winterfell Absinthe
So, I am not going to write about quiche. But this post will be a quicky and my college roommate pronounced quiche as quickie, so it has come to have an entirely new context for me, especially as she used it in the sentence, “There’s nothing I like better than a good quiche (quicky).” And of course, she said it front of a big bunch of people. Anyway, I am super busy getting ready for Love Donna Flora, so this post will be a quiche.
In my last post I mentioned that I loved this top from The Secret Store for Collabor88. To reiterate that point, I am wearing it again. It comes in several prints and they are each and every one luscious – as luscious as a good quiche.
I’ve been so busy designing my sim and then working on another that I’ve completely forgot about blogging. I felt pretty cute today (especially because I have a ton of new hair from the hair fair) that I decided a look of the day post was in order.
Hybie Is wearing:
Outfit: Kaithleen’s Kawai Dress Polka Dots Red and Black
Hair: Blienson Maitai – La folie du jour – with veil – coal
Shoes: GOS – Grace Sandal – black patent
Skin: Essences – CHO – light rose 01 – brunette
Eyes: IKON – ascension – oxidation
Pictures taken @ Savoir Faire
It started off like a fashion blog might. I took some shots of a lovely cocktail ring from Maxi Gossamer. I was delighted that it sits next to my wedding ring – I LOVE wearing more than one ring.
Then I shot the shoes.
And I had this THOUGHT! I’d do a THEN AND NOW OF THE STILETTOS OF MY SL.
Because, the world has changed. I dug into my inventory with glee planning to show you how far we’d come when I realized – I’d deleted them in a rare inventory purge. Which is sad, because they were really something. I’d gotten them in a freebie box at this place that had tons of free or cheap furniture and you could game there. YEAH that’s how long ago I got them. I looked on MP, so great was my zeal to show them to you, but alas, the great MAGIC BOX SUNDERING of 2013 must have obliterated them all.
So, next idea. Continue reading
Today I dressed up in Helena Stringer’s pointy Dreadicorn hair and wandered over to the sim of Skye Neist. I didn’t get to explore much. Truth be told, I lied to myself that I had time before work to take a photo or two, but I was actually kind of wrong. I didn’t have time for that, and ended up short-changing both the photos and my job (*cough* traffic sure was bad today). Still, it was nice to take a mental journey before heading into Normal Land, and this sim was very evocative!
I actually dressed this way so that I could be Gidge’s polar opposite. She bought the white version of this Milk Motion Collabor88 dress, so I had to go demonic. See her pretty crying angelface over here.
Dress: (Milk Motion) lace dress – raspberry
Hair: The Stringer Mausoleum Dreadicorn in Rangitoto color, at Hair Fair
Boots: Lassitude & Ennui Flutter boots in raven
Earrings: Lassitude & Ennui Macabre jewelry in silver and red
Eyes: MIASNOW eyes – dead blood
Skin: MIASNOW skin – devildoll
Nails: Mandala takara nail / silver
Hair base: booN vine shaved hair base in black
I love this top from The Secret Store for this month’s Collabor88 so much. She produced several optiongs, but only one polka dot. Its bright, happy print made me go full polka and I dug out this skirt from Maitreya to wear with it.
Have you ever wondered why a print with dots all over it is called polka dot instead of simply dotted print? Do the textile workers dance while producing the cloth? Allemande left and a dosey doe? I am the type of person who wonders these things, wanting not just to know what something is called, but why? The best source for answers to these kinds of questions is the Oxford English Dictionary to which an individual like me could subscribe for $295/year. On my budget, that is not going to happen.
Enter the public library card. Public libraries in general have gone digital in a big way and allow cardholders to log in and access their digital subscriptions. My library subscribes to the OED (though for a lot more than $295) and all its cardholders can piggy-back their access to use it as freely as if they have their own subscription. They do this with literally hundreds of research and reference sources — just about every major research service you can think of. All for free, all available from your home computer thanks to the wonders of your library card. So let’s find out why it’s called polka dot instead of dotted.
I wasn’t sure how to start my day after I’d taken the time to get dressed and do my nails. I knew I wanted breakfast but couldn’t decide on what I was willing to bother making. I’m lazy in both worlds and I’m afraid we both skip breakfast more than we should.
Pixel Gidge decided that cake is breakfast too. It also gives me a chance to show you her new dining room set. Ria Bazar released the Toronto dining set and it’s larger than my old set which, although I loved it, was what I wanted. My linden house seems to be proportioned for back when furniture WAS so much larger and I always feel like huge portions of it are empty. It was about 500 lindens for the whole set, table rug, cabinet, lamp etc – so a STEAL. Continue reading
Gogo pointed me to a store I hadn’t perused in the past and I discovered a little corner chocked full of what is fun about our Second Lives – Fantasy. Songbird has all sorts of quirky fantasy items from the macabre to the festive.
I do like fantasy and this shop has eyes, tattoo layers and all sorts of things for adding a tweak of the ethereal to your avatar if you’re feeling saucy. Continue reading
