Let It Snow…

Tis the SeasonThe Cascades are expecting 20 to 40 inches of snow in the next few days. That is the best kind of snow. In the winter, I am all for letting it snow…elsewhere. But, Second Snow does not get cold, does not cause car accidents and does not make the stairs slippery, so I am happy to see it snowing in Second Life®. It was light fluffy snow, the kind that falls when the weather warms up so you can wear something like this lovely cardigan from Emery and not freeze.

Decorating the tree in the back yard and making a few snowmen made for a fun afternoon. For you snowmen manufacturers, there’s an entire kit of materials and end products from Sway’s at The Arcade and What Next also makes a lovely, well-dressed snowman which you can find at The Arcade, too.

I really love this cardigan which comes in five options at Collabor88 this month. The lovely long, casual hairstyle is also at Collabor88 from Exile. It is called Cozy Winter Night, but as you can see, you can also wear it on a chilly winter day.

Easier Than Raptors

I’m trying to assert my dominance over the local reindeer but so far I’ve only got one willing to work with me here.  Even so, one is better than none. I just wish the one blocking my mailbox would move his big butt.  Continue reading

NICOLE – from GENESIS LAB at COLLABOR88

I’m trying out a new mesh head today – NICOLE from GENESIS LAB. I have to say, I’m really in love with how easy it is and how quick it was to sort out for me. It’s got a hud for adjusting your lashes, eyes, attachable ears, the works.

There are a host of things available from Genesis Lab at COLLABOR88 so I suggest you pop over there and try them out. This is a really pretty look.  There were a lot of lip, eye, eyeshadow, eye etc options on the HUD. I didn’t even try most of them out.

But they had me at purple eyes.

It’s a quickie for me today, as my typist has to launch. You can pick up this new Mesh Head for 788L at Collabor88 this month!

The Christmas Gown

Once upon a time in my SL I wasn’t a solitary creature. I lived for events, balls, galas and social activity. Seeking out THE PERFECT DRESS was truly an act of serious effort for any event.  If I attended your event, chances were high that a lot of effort had gone into what I’d chosen to wear.

You can imagine my frustration then, when Junebug released what seems to be THE PERFECT CHRISTMAS GOWN and I’m without any sort of event to go to. Well I had to have it anyway. I dithered, “What do I even need it for?” I wondered?

Then I decided I just needed it so I could wander about the snow looking pensive. Perfect. Continue reading

The Exercise Room

Transformation is the driver of self-actualization.I am taking a short break after a lovely morning workout in my exercise room. The attic of my townhouse from Barnesworth Anubis is huge, light and airy, perfect for a playroom or, for singletons like me, for a room to dance, exercise and even chill with a book on the massage table after a workout.

Transformation is the driver of self-actualization.

It looks like a movie; it sounds like a song

Dance is a way to find yourself and lose yourself
Pixicat has a wonderful ballerina skirt and bodysuit at The Arcade along with several darling ballerina globes to decorate your space. I was inspired to make a short video using the Resplendent Rose Ballet Barre that I purchased a few years ago. However, I have gone to the store and to the marketplace and cannot find it for sale any longer. If folks have recommendations, I would love to hear them.

I will do a separate post about the studio furniture and decor. I wanted to focus on this lovely ballet outfit from Pixicat. When you watch the video you will see how flawlessly it fits.

Made of Star Stuff

“The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself.”

“The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself.”

–Carl Sagan

We are so hard on ourselves. It seems a day does not pass that some friend or acquaintance says something harsh and critical of themselves. I do it myself. But really, with all our struggles and our challenges, why do we add to our burdens by turning on ourselves? After all, we are made of star-stuff and should shine as brightly as the stars we come from.

a balloon with a broken string

“I'd be smiling and chatting away, and my mind would be floating around somewhere else, like a balloon with a broken string.”

“I’d be smiling and chatting away, and my mind would be floating around somewhere else, like a balloon with a broken string.”
                                       ― Haruki Murakami, The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle

I wanted to be sure to choose the perfect lingerie for this new sheer tunic Zaara released at Collabor88. I had this great set from Luxuria for Fifty Linden Friday. It’s still available, just not 50 lindens. I love the colors and thought it a perfect set for my new tunic. It applies to both Maitreya and Slink bodies, so it’s very flexible.
“I'd be smiling and chatting away, and my mind would be floating around somewhere else, like a balloon with a broken string.”

Black Bantam, a new to me label, released this lovely Autumn Dreams Balloon Chair, a fantasy piece that I took for a ride on the Linden Ocean.  Stacey Oller is the designer for Black Bantam and may be more familiar to folks under her fashion label Pink Acid. The chair contains several poses and animations for men and women (and kids) and comes in blue as well.
