Tymmerie Thorne has coordinated a virtual tour of homes, to inspire us, to allow us to ooo and ah over the amazing ways the creations of Second Life are put together, and frankly to perv cam people’s bedrooms. Cuz you know, wockachickawockchickawockchicka.
The Tour is Today and Tomorrow – and you can get more info here. Continue reading
I’m officially moved in. I picked up Sophie from Auntie Inventory. She’s been visiting there for a while, she really loves it – Auntie Inventory HAS EVERYTHING. I decided that after a day full of being a fashion blogger and walking around looking pretty, there was nothing for it but to sit on the porch, gaze at the sea and have some wine.
That solves all life’s stresses, I’m pretty sure.
It seems like a big place to have all to myself, and making dinner just for me would be lonely, but Cajsa has moved in to be my neighbor! I’m SO excited that after all these years we’ll be within cup of sugar borrowing distance! Continue reading
…is that I want everything perfect the moment I lay the house. Why isn’t everything where it goes? Oh wait, I have to DECIDE where it goes? New house, new floorplan? UGH. Decisions!
Baiastice’s contribution to THE ARCADE this month was the amazing set of Fairies and the shelf for them to sit on. I decided they were PERFECT above my fireplace. I won’t be told otherwise.
Barnesworth Anubis’ LAKESIDE COTTAGE will be the venue for my SL adventures, at least for a while. It’s so gorgeous, I still can’t get over all the windows looking out into the sea. I’m in love with this plot and the way the house works here.
My alcove loft I’ve converted into a study and whimsical family room area. It’s the closest to done in the house.
I can get used to this.
The amazing dress is DCNY. Shoes are LVLE. All else is also awesome, and in the credits.

I have moved to the sea, a nice change of pace from the government housing I where I was staying. But it seems that I’m doing too good of a job decorating, because every time I log in, there are people in my house. They seem to like it too.
I decided that perhaps if I showed up as a zombie with horns, the word would get out and I’d have less unexpected visitors. Continue reading
I ponder that I am such a recluse in SL because the second I want to be somewhere, RL happens. For example, I would’ve really wanted to be at Squinternet’s gathering this morning at 9 SLT in order to listen to my friends talk about her, and honor her memory. Instead, I was driving my kid between violin and ballet, yep, the normal Saturday routine. It made me wonder how many SLers feel my pain — I suspect that many of us take up SL because it slides neatly around all of our other commitments. Health issues; work all day (at home or elsewhere); look after children/a child at night; head into SL to decompress…
Speaking of which, this pink jacket (fashionably Dead at C88) absolutely makes me decompress. It was brighter than the leaves of Oubliette, which is pretty amazing, considering. I’m still camped out in the sim, soaking in its beautiful glow. There’s a rumor that the sim might be looking to lease to few good vendors or residents — if you find the sim as lovely as I do and are looking for a place to call home (or sell your work), contact Elizabeth Tinsley in-world via notecard.
More photos and credits behind the cut. Also, look how cute Gidge looks in these stretchy pants!
I am not the IOF queen of extremely pretty enormous face shots, Hybie, Gidge, and Cajsa are. But I totally stole their style to show you these vivid eyes and playful web lashes. The eyes are from The Stringer Mausoleum, and Helena says they’ll be in a special edition pack of four colors for purchase by her group (tangerine, saffron, lime and chartreuse colors). There are other new colors of these eyes out from TSM too (not group-only), and Phire posted about the very cat-like yellow set over at her blog Style Genesis.
Also, I’m totally naked.
In my last post, I speak for the trees, I mentioned that dwindling profit to the vendors has cut short the life of the beautiful sim Oubliette. I’ve been camping my avatar there, trying to capture the beauty of the sim before it fades (and investing as much as I can into Balderdash trees!). These two photos of Rivendell-esque beauty are from the sim:
Hair: Clawtooth Merci Beaucoup hair in Pumpkin – C88
Skin: Belleza Leila Pale 1 – C88
Eyes: The Stringer Mausoleum TSM Catscratch Eyes – Achariya’s Picks (Tangerine one) – Group Only Buy
Lashes: Miasnow Web Lashes
Sim: Oubliette
Sascha Frangilli released a cozy casual dress perfect for boots and tights in white, and I decided it’s Winter White so that makes it ok. Continue reading
The new round of Collabor88 is set to open imminently and the fall is upon us. I couldn’t resist putting the fun, fall bazaar inspired jacket dress I’m ready for fall, the summer has been one long hot experience. Continue reading
I had this blog post planned. A couple of Arcade items, an item from Acid Lily, some Collabor88 – a well rounded event post. I’d shot it over a couple of days, dorking around with lighting, realizing after ten shots I was on medium resolution (this explained a lot).
Then my real life phone rang. The cellphone in my pocket rang – and I looked at it with dread. No one calls you with good news at 7am. No one. It was Cajsa and I knew why she was calling.
You probably know it too, our friend Giulia, SL’s Squinternet Larnia had died. Cajsa was calling me to let me know, so that I didn’t read it on the internet that a friend had died. Continue reading
After a long lazy weekend it felt like I needed to get serious with some SRSS BSNSS fashion and luckily there were new releases to comply.
Ploom has released one of my all time favorite hair styles that they’ve ever made. It’s got a slightly teased 6os style poof in back but melts into a dreamy whispy look as it’s pulled to the side. I love the HUD options from Ploom – and her blondes are impeccable. This is going to be a great hair style for lots of different looks. Continue reading
