Movie Night With A Very Old Friend

There are a handful of people in SL that’ve been around forever and my friend Eb is one of them. He came over to visit, and we gossiped about his new loves and what’s going on in his SL.

I gotta get some couches with friends hanging out poses because I was cycling through poses and they were all way too “I don’t like you like that” for us to chill and talk. It was amusing to chill and talk about other women though, in what looked like wildly romantic poses, but that’s just not us.

He’s my second oldest friend still on the grid and it was fun to chill with him. And now I’m all caught up on his romantic life!

Thanks for being a man model Eb 🙂

There Isn’t Much Time Left

Maitreya released LARA 4.0 with BENTO Hands and that’s big news on the grid today. In other news you’ve probably got minutes left before COLLABOR88 tears down so really, hop to it if you haven’t. I’ve got my coffee, I’ll wait while you run over. Continue reading

Butterflies are Free To Fly

I woke up full of energy and right about then I realized I had new goodies from RC Cluster to provide some MUCH needed activity in my SLIFE! I’m out hunting butterflies in my beautifully landscaped islet this morning. Thanks for the greenery Cajsa!  Continue reading

The Shadow of Chthulu

I wasn’t going to post this picture as I took it playing with shadows and goofing off last night, however that changed after I read plurk this morning.

Morgana Hilra who blogs over at So Hawt SL is having one of those days. One of those days where she feels pressured to blog differently because of X or whatever. Someone is in her ear, or she’s feeling like she needs to change.

I think it’s great to grow and change but the idea that someone would pressure someone else into making their blog something that it isn’t is uncool. It’s downright wrong. Continue reading

I Mean This Pose Ironically

If you are an old enough avatar you know that there are a handful of poses that at one time were plastered all over every vendor ad on the grid. They’re universally regarded as not only stale but sort of terrible.

Personally, I tend to only use my own poses (with a couple of notable exceptions) so imagine my surprise when scrolling through my pose stand filled with Gidgey made poses and I ran into this nearly perfect knock off of one of the DREAD poses. God, I made it so long ago, I probably didn’t realize I was channeling it.

Accept it with the irony with which it was intended, please. Continue reading

Powder Pack for Lelutka – Let’s Take a Look

Gidge’s Slidely by Slidely Slideshow

I pray to go these don’t autoplay music. This program I used made me choose music. Sorry, that’s annoying probably.

So I started out wearing LEAGUE – Milla in Pale this morning, first without lashes then I added some before I started trying on the makeup offerings from ZIBSKA. It’s not all to my taste, a bit of a spray paint look on one eye makeup – great for roleplay or if you’re Priss for Halloween. (note to self, I have these and can be PRISS for Halloween). But in sorting through them I found two that for my own tastes are GOLD. The RHEIA lips are gorgeous pastel mattes – PERFECT. The Tasi liners are also quite pretty – love them. The blush choices are creative, and are probably someoone’s cup of tea, just not mine. Continue reading

The Arcade closes at midnight, do you know where your gacha is?

“ that fragrance which fills the soul with optimism and faith, the fragrance of the crushed beans beneath the jet of boiling water curving from the kettle, the smell of coffee.”

“…that fragrance which fills the soul with optimism and faith, the fragrance of the crushed beans beneath the jet of boiling water curving from the kettle, the smell of coffee.”

In Halldor Laxness’ extraordinary book Independent People, there are well over 150 references to coffee, most of them reverent. That is as it should be. Laxness was Icelandic and they are among the world’s greatest coffee consumers–along with all the other Scandinavians.

Although Swedish-American, I am closer to real Swedes in my coffee consumption. When I was a kid, I put coffee in my milk, sometimes now I will put milk in my coffee when I get a latte, but usually drink it black. There is no perfume in the world quite so warm and evocative as the smell of coffee.

So I was thrilled by the coffee shops at The Arcade. I took some pictures outside the other day, but today I am shooting inside where I combined elements from the RH Designs Coffee House and the PLAAKA Coffee Factory.  The building is from PLAAKA’s coffee factory. I just fell in love with the look of the crumbling old factory being repurposed to serve coffee. The broken down wall and patio appeals to my love of things old and worn.

The Hazards of Working From Home

I’ve had a lot of different work spaces over the years for this blog. My favorite always tends to be a house with enough space and camera friendliness to just simply create a photo spot IN the house.I shoot around the fact that my house is sitting right there, most people never know (you didn’t!) but some days – like today – I keep getting guests in my shots.

Shoetopia Continues To Mesmerize Me

I can’t stop trying on shoes. SHOETOPIA is once again providing amazing options and new shoes for all tastes from casual to kink and every flavor in between. I’ve been standing about my house for days just trying on shoes. It’s a poor blogger girls cross to bear I tell you.

Ok who am I kidding, it’s flipping amazing. SHOES SHOES SHOES SHOES. I love events that focus solely on one thing. I’d go to an EYEBROW fair I swear to god.  Continue reading
