I have had these shot for a while and keep forgetting to post them. Continue reading

The Grasslands
I spent far too much shopping this weekend with so many new releases and events that I decided to take a break and go for a walk at the fabulous Noweeto Grasslands. I thought the lizard tote from Celoe would love to go for a walk with me.
You Would Hardly Recognize Me, I’m So Glad…
Well except for that whole over dressed avatar with a blonde wig thing wearing my shape. I guess you might recognize me.
Sometimes though, the exhilaration of life and change sweeps you up and makes you pause to think about how beautiful everything is, how good it is, and how at this point – there is nothing you would change. Every step though the purple flowered lagoon led you here and well, dammit, I’m wearing a new dress from Donna Flora and literally I couldn’t be one ounce fucking happier. Continue reading
Misali Moonlight
So I went looking for a lovely place to shoot and found Misali – a gorgeous water sim with small islands that hold lovely little set pieces perfect for the SL photographer. Since I was wearing the purple and sapphire dress and jacket outfit from Baiastice I decided to use the lovely Purple Moonlight windlight setting from Elysium Elide. I love the dress and the jacket and like them together, though this does highlight one of the reasons I have not become a 100% supporter of mesh. I would love to have them as separate pieces, but unlike system clothing, mesh separates can be difficult to fit together. Some strategies I have used to make mesh separates work is to wear a M under and an L on top, though that does not always work. That’s why designers like Baiastice’ Sissy Pessoa make the outfits in one unified mesh instead of separates. It makes them work together perfectly, adjusting to your poses and preventing all intersections, but it does reduce our opportunity to make individualist styling choices.
Or maybe we just have to dig a little deeper to come up with new ways to add our own quirks and options. Here, I added the collar and sleeve fur pieces from a Bliss Couture jacket. I decided to tie the jacket more directly to the dress, adding the accents in the sapphire color of the dress.
The ocean is a desert with its life underground
One of the most enigmatic songs of all time popped into my head while trying to conjure up a title for this post. I was sim-hopping through the many Linden Endowment for the Arts sims and stopped off at one (LEA17) that struck me as having a gorgeous, high desert atmosphere that might be fun for playing around with shadows. I used the Barcelona windlight setting though I fiddled around with the time of day and where east was relative to the sim just to arrange the lighting more conveniently. My outfit was great for trekking about – though that Maitreya top actually has a long, draping open back.
Ghost of You
As much as I like to be a fancy Barbie, I have to admit I love casual clothes which seems pointless as I have tons of them in real life. But, I do. Pink Outfitters has always been one of my favorite places for separates, and I am remembering what I love about that shop with these jeans and cool summer sweater.
There is no such thing as too many jeans, and despite the fact that I have a bajillion pairs I always want NEW jeans, so I am going to add Pink Outfitters to my list of awesome creators of cute jeans. Continue reading
Oh DAMN Am I Late?
Ah, the never ending battle of time between RL and SL made me a late SL bunny this year.
But, candy and eggs are good no matter what time of year right? RIGHT!
Personally, I think that Easter Candy should be given out for PMS like prescriptions. “Eat one Cadbury Egg an hour until you feel happy.”
I should totally be a doctor, I swear. Continue reading
Sunday Morning Blues
No, I am not feeling blue, just wearing blue – and sitting on blue. The blue cardigan is from Leverocci. I picked it up when I was thinking my outfit from The Sea Hole looked a bit chilly for the weather we were having. The chair is from RnB and is a Wear Gray event item. It has 9 sit animations in it with a good mix of realistic male and female options. I love the retro styling. It reminds me of this fabulous couch I bought at a rummage sale that was that same electric blue and also a 60s vintage in pristine condition. I bet they kept it in plastic covers. It was 75 inches long and I loved it. Unfortunately, my dog would chew on the legs a bit, so I bought some bitter apple and sprayed the entire couch so she would leave it alone. Big mistake! I came home after work to a house with floors 6 inches deep in couch batting and fabric and the only fabric and stuffing still on the counch the little bits near the staples and upholstery nails that she could not chew off. It went from fully upholstered to wood and springs with one spray of bitter apple. When I saw this chair, I felt a pang of nostalgia for that magnificent couch and for that damned dog.
Lovely Day at Juicy
I picked up the lovely outfit at My Attic at The Deck last week and just am getting around to wearing it. It is such a happy outfit, that I decided to go to the lovely beachfront sim Juicy that seemed sure to suit the mood of the dress – and of course it did. Those shoes you see are from Gos – his espadrilles that came out right about the time Viewer 2 got rid of invisiprims, so they are are current as if they had been released yesterday.
Did Someone Say Grayed Rainbow?
If you get the number of subscribo notices I do, you spend a lot of time going, “Next, Next, Next, Boring, Template, Next, Next….” and deleting them without RUSHING out to acquire what it is you’ve been offered. Call it ennui, call it being an oldbie but it’s a bit hard to get more all that motivated beyond “oh cute.” Continue reading
