I decided to check out an in world shopping group I joined that has a weekly sales event. Bargains for Babies has a Friday sale day, and several different shops have items for your Zooby Babies for 75L which is a steal.
I was unable to resist the deal at Leri Miles designs though, because it’s a coordinating sweater to go with your Zooby Babies outfit! Each item for only 75L? Sweet!
I’ve worn Leri Miles before, so I felt comfortable picking up both pieces, and I wasn’t dissapointed.
And since we both got hungry doing so much shopping, I’ll have to check out FLF later.
It’s lunch time!

As I am typing this a flock of geese are honking overhead and I am wondering what they think they are doing. It is January, weeks too early for them to be heading north. I hope it is not a harbinger of an even warmer summer. That reminds me of a song on Donald Fagen’s recent album. The chorus goes something like, ” They may fix the weather in the world, just like Mr. Gore said. But tell me what’s to be done, Lord, about the weather in my head.”
Thankfully Second Life lets us find any kind of weather we want. With the geese outside making me think of spring, I set out to find banks of flowers and found exactly what I needed at The Garden, the lovely sim with a quest game. I didn’t do the quest this morning, but I did find some flowers and stretch and enjoy the sun. Certainly my clothing is perfect for a sunny day with the flirty little skirt from Tee*fy that I picked up at Collabor88. The top is a brand new release from MiaMai and combines casual comfort with great design details such as the draped top, pleated front gathered with the tiny bow. My pumps are a new release from Nzuri.
I dug out this fun and playful jewelry from Violet Voltaire and chose a fun mop of hair from Truth. See how delightfully the bow gathers the bodice?
My skin is Belleza’s new Ava. As always, Belleza’s skins are classic and restrained except this time Tricky Boucher went just a bit crazy and released eleventyseven billion shades of lipstick tattoos. Sadly, I can only wear one at a time.

Sunday was a casual day for me – at least at first. It opened with my morning set at The Velvet. Two hours of jazz from old and new greats such as Stan Getz and Sonny Williams to Andy Sheppard. I love my Sunday morning sets because they start the day off right. However, I then was asked if I would DJ a gallery opening for Stephen Venkman’s new show at Patron. I didn’t have any pressing plans that could not be delayed, so I agreed and am so glad I did. The artwork was amazing and it was fun to pull together a photo-centric set together.
The club where I DJ was in the Destination Guide today and many newbies dropped in. It was fun to see them running about to the right, left and all around. Most of them were too busy rushing to stop and chat but a few did. Most wanted to know if Second Life was addictive. I sure think it is, if they get past the confusion that we all face at first and begin making friends. It’s the people, the friends, that make SL addictive. Two of the people I met my first week in SL are still my two best friends in SL – so I hope they have as wonderful luck as I did.
And I hope they also find the joy of exploration – going to sims to see what can be seen. I went to this Japan Garden sim yesterday – a beautiful place of peace and harmony. It seemed a good choice for showing off this gown from Azul. It’s the design from Mami Jewell of Azul for Miss Virtual World Japan. It comes in 8 gorgeous color options, but I chose this one for the bold cerise and bordeaux combination.
I wish I could do justice to this fabulous jacket from erratic. What you cannot see is the leather detailing that begins below the breasts and continues to the hem with rows of leather piping. It’s a stunning and ultra modern jacket. It comes in several colors.
Deep within the corners of my mind
I keep a memory of your face
And I only pull it out
When I long for your embrace
Deep within the corners of my mind
I’m haunted by your smile
As it promises me joy
Like a journey to a tropic isle
It’s true, all that glitters is not gold. Sometimes it is bronze, silver or platinum. And sometimes it is a bit of all at once as in this gorgeous top from Fashionably Dead. The peplum top is available at Collabor88 where the theme this month seems to be proving that glitter comes in every color. I dressed it up with the bottom of the Kamille dress from Countdown. One of the advantages of combining mesh with system layers, as Countdown has, is the ability to mix and match which makes me happy.

My first blog post was published five years ago today. It is encouraging to see how many of the designers in the first post are still with us. RaC is now LAQ, but that is just a name change. Adam n Eve and Nikky Ree, Muse, Simtropia and Innovations remain, though Muse has not released anything new in a very long time. I guess it shows that quality endures if designers keep adapting as time passes. Of course, there are new designers who bring quality to the table too and who I expect will be releasing in five years if Second Life is still around. Certainly I would expect a designer that brings such variety and imagination to the craft as Giz Seom does for Gizza will be around for my 10th anniversary blog post.
Chic is the word for this Drift jacket. You can see its lineage in the glorious history of Chanel with its short-cropped waist, it’s beautifully tailored fit and the rich wool fabric. The skirt, from CIA Designs, is beautifully made. With its relatively high waist, it will work well with all sorts of tops and jackets. For the With Love Hunt, it is only 10L and comes in red, brown and blue. It is one of the can’t miss hunt items. Make yourself comfortable and you should find it.
New Year’s Eve has never been a big holiday in my family. Most of the day was spent cleaning and preparing for New Year’s Day which was much more important. We always had a sparkling clean house and a feast on New Year’s, honoring a folk tradition that what you experience on New Year’s Day is the harbinger of the coming year. Well, one thing you would not want on New Year’s Day is a hangover! We didn’t make resolutions either. This was probably more the influence of my mother more than any tradition. She always said that if you plan to do something, just do it. If it’s important enough to do, it’s too important to delay until the new year. What we did do, though, is look back at the year and appreciate our good fortune.
Those traditions continue. I have been cleaning today. I am having a New Year’s dinner party tomorrow. And I have been looking back at 2012 and appreciating my good fortune.
Aren’t these Leith boots from Schadenfreude hot? You can find them at Collabor88 and if I had been smarter, I would have bought the fat pack.
If you have not snapped you holiday pictures yet, you could not do better than heading over to Wishing Well where Incendia Outdoors has created dozens of scenes perfect for holiday pictures. This is a snap in front of the fire, for all you know I could be roasting chestnuts.
You can even take a sleigh ride to tour the scenes before deciding where and what you want to shoot.
