Americana Is Coming to FLUX July 4

Sophie and I are ready for Independence Day in the US in our patriotic colors. My dress is from 22769 and is one of of the sea of fun red, white and blue items that will be released Thursday at the grand reopening of FLUX. I’m a fan of wearing flag inspired but not actually “The Flag”. That debate never ends.

I picked up Sophie’s dress at Punkie Babies. They have a cute short outfit for boys too. Continue reading

Slumber Party With The Girls

My friend Isla said SLUMBER PARTY so that was my cue to run get new jammies. I LOVE pajamas, creators, we need MORE MORE MORE. Not slutwear. Pajamas. I found these a  place I ran into in SEARCH – called Plowwies. Tons of jammies and matching slippers so, after slathering on some avocado face mask and rolling my hair I was set for a night in with the girls. Continue reading

Only 24 More Hours for Your Tropical Escape At MY ATTIC

W.Winx and Flair have an adorable set of beach towel gear at My Attic and it’s going to not be available for the awesome 95L price after tomorrow. The towels work for one or two, but alas I am but one.

They’re full of fun fancy posing animations though and are gorgeous rich tones, perfect against your amazing beach tan. Continue reading

Circumnavigation

jun27_010

 

This simple little dress from Drift is a perfect summer dress, loose-fitting and casual. It comes with a HUD so you can choose all the colors. In fact, it comes with two textures, a cotton knit and this lovely satin and each texture has its own little hud full of color. However, I thought I would wear it with some leggings because it was a little breezy and I was afraid the wind would catch it and cause an indiscretion. The Lydia Slingbacks that Ingenue did for Collabor88 are as perfect as can be.

The bolt leggings from MichaMi sure look great with it. I had to go to XS to get it to fit under the dress, but that okay since the dress covers the skinny butt. Well, not completely. When I walked, the dress and leggings intersected from behind, so moving was more of a circumnavigation so that I faced forward.

Walkin’ well before midnight

Walkin'

Hello! It’s amazing how well the PRETENSE ESCAPE poses (meant for a bag hold) work with my big old staff. I’ve been trying my best to bust out of my shell in Second Life of late, visiting new sims and wandering like I used to do in my Second Youth. I’ve really enjoyed stalking Julliette Bergan’s photostream for this, which is how I stumbled upon Sea Salt, the sim where my avatar’s wandering.

Funny story. I teleported into the sim, flew a bit and found a nice place, and then the PLUMBER CAME. The real life one, Second Life is blissfully free of plumbers (except in, you know, THOSE sims). So I idled for a good fifteen minutes, only to return and realize that I’d totally interrupted a sweet tete-a-tete by two lovers lying not ten fake feet away from me. Oops. Whoever you were, sorry, I wasn’t standing around staring at you two sexting, I promise!

Stay

All along it was a fever
A cold sweat hot-headed believer
I threw my hands in the air, said, “Show me something,”
He said, “If you dare come a little closer.”

Round and around and around and around we go
Oh now tell me now tell me now tell me now you know

Not really sure how to feel about it.
Something in the way you move
Makes me feel like I can’t live without you.
It takes me all the way.
I want you to stay

TheBrokenOne_0033

It’s not much of a life you’re living
It’s not just something you take – it’s given

Round and around and around and around we go
Oh now tell me now tell me now tell me now you know

Not really sure how to feel about it.
Something in the way you move
Makes me feel like I can’t live without you.
It takes me all the way.
I want you to stay. Continue reading

Good Things

I like things that take like 1 land impact and are awesome. I was desk hunting the other day, and besides finding “daddy little %&^ bucket” desk, I was having trouble locating something that was ME.  I like my home in SL to be comfy and cozy, maybe a bit worn and lived in. I want it to be a place where you feel welcome.

My friend Isla Gealach (and contributor here at IOF) popped in and said DUH, I made on it’s 1 Land impact.  It’s from CHEEKY PEA and if your land impact needs are constrained it’s BRILLIANT! Continue reading

Gidge’s Fast Five: Mostly Nepotism Edition 6.25.13

GidgeFast Five

Today I’m highlighting posts from some of my favorite folks on the grid, as well as a something that I spotted that looks kinda cool.

Let’s take a look…

1. It’s a Beautiful Day: Whimsy puts together a great look featuring fun from My Attic and other goodies. It’s an adorable girly look so you know, I’d have loved it if it wasn’t Whimsy anyway.

2.The Sum of Our Parts: You’re always bitching that you never leave your platform and never get to go do anything. Here. This looks cool. GO DO THIS TOMORROW! Continue reading

scuse me, uuumm yea…..can I have yo numba!?

So I did Berry’s What’s your Digits Challenge today and here is what I got..

Proportions Challenge Questions:

  1. Do you try and keep your avatar’s body proportionate and similar to the “average” proportions pictured above? – I guess not, I try t make them some what realistic but I’m not a stickler to making it perfectly proportionate. I think it’s really almost impossible to do so given the limited range in number on the mesh.
  2. What do you dislike the most about the SL avatar mesh? – The back, it does this strange wonky thing near the pits unless you go full throttle on the shoulder slider.
  3. Does it bother you when you see other avatars that are not proportionate at all? – That depends. There are some people (most of whom I think are probably men) who want that super exotic and shapely female body but go crazy on the tits and ass and max them out. Like, come on…who looks like that? But, it’s SL..so live out your fantasy I guess. Who am I to judge?
  4. Even though this is a virtual world and people can be anything they want to be, do you feel when they are in human form, they should try to keep their proportions close to average? Like I said, they can do what they want but I think pony riders and trex arms look ridiculous and wish that trend would do away.
