I did a plurality of shopping at MY ATTIC @ The Deck and as the theme is gorgeous Summer Abroad I have to admit I was pretty much swimming in the pretties while I was there. I’ve got boxes and bags galore strewn over my house, I don’t know how I will ever unpack truly. Continue reading
Sweet forgiveness, that’s what you give to me.
When you hold me close,
And you say: “That’s all over.”
You don’t go looking back,
You don’t hold the cards to stack.
‘Cause you mean what you say.
I love my new dress from The Sea Hole. It comes in six colors and, of course, I chose antique. There’s also a pink, yellow, blue, black and silver all in powder-soft pastels with fancy names like blush, custard, sky, shadow and silverscreen. Don’t you just love color names? There are such fabulous details on the dress and it’s a great sensible use of mesh and system pieces in combination. The bodice, with its sheer panels and sparking contrast fabric is a system piece while the skirt is mesh and rigged to move with your movements. It has a mesh alpha, but it’s not necessary, so you can wear some of your loveliest lingerie.
Looking this good, I wanted to go out and about and what would be better than the fabulous new discovery at Tenth Rua. They were terraforming and their excavation lead to the discovery of these magnificent terra cotta soldiers that replicate on a small scale the vast Terra Cotta Army of Emperor Qin that was found under similar circumstances in 1974 when workers were digging a well. Who know such treasures lurked beneath the surface patch? Get digging, people!

I ran not walked this morning to get over to The Deck to check out the new 95L sale event – MY ATTIC. It’s chocked full of awesome and from people you’ve actually heard of – like Maitreya, Exile, Idiosyncracy, Miel and on and on.
I grabbed a few things but need to go back later. However, most of my look for Gidge’s day today is courtesy of My Attic at the Deck. You can hop this link for a ride. Continue reading
In less than four hours, Fashion For Life will be closing until next year. The vendors will be picked up and the sims will be dismantled and it will all go away, these beautiful builds such as this one that are all part of a monumental annual effort to raise funds in the hope of finding cures for cancer. Cancer is such a tricky bastard; it needs more than one cure. But the cures are possible; they can be found and it will take our concerted effort to find them.
Hi!
Just a few words to remind you that this is the last day of Fashion for Life, so you better hurry and go shopping for a good cause.
Whose life hasn’t been touched by cancer?
Please, donate.

Wow, I can’t believe it’s been almost a week since my last post. How time flies when you’re stuck in a conference room in a hotel next to the San Francisco airport for 4.5 days. OK … maybe not. Even worse, the weather was dreary the entire time and even rained out the golf tournament, which was our one glimmer of fun all week. So as we all looked forlornly out the lobby window overlooking the SF Bay, I thought about warmer times and fun activities to be had there some other day.
I decided to do the opposite of Cajsa when picking up the Unedited Photo Challenge and do LOTS of color vs very limited range. I followed my usual habit of snorking off of Honour McMillan’s blog for a place to shoot onlocation. It was perfection that the place I landed on is called Happy Mood, as I have nothing but one of those. Continue reading
While The Great SL Photo Hunt hurtles along, there happens to be another photo challenge that should be fun and interesting as well. Harlow Heslop has challenged folks to post raw, unedited shots. Since most of the time, all I do is crop photos, it was a relatively easy challenge. I had to refresh a few times to line shots up correctly within the frame I set the window, but other than that, it was mainly choosing a good windlight setting (Strawberry Singh’s Diamond) and policing my prims to make sure they looked good in the poses. Since I can upload directly from within SL into Flickr, it really was easy.
I am a little late to the party of celebrating the Fashion For Life Event but my ardor is no less because this is truly one of my favorite things to support in both lives. Everyone’s life has been touched by cancer, some more than others and for all of us it’s a journey.
I thought since lots of people have shared I would tell you the story of my Uncle George, who cancer took away.
He was a confirmed old bachelor (nudge nudge wink wink) who lived his life pretty full as a young man. He went to Cuba to gamble, he worked at 20th Century Fox as a hair dresser during World War 2. When I was very little he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, and told to say his farewells. Continue reading
