Sundown on Bourbon Street

I See Faces As They Pass

The heavy mahogany canopy bed from Trompe Loeil was a perfect piece for my new skybox, and I was so excited to unpack this new chemise from Baiastice that I thought they really needed to go together. Continue reading

Get A Sitter Girls, You’ve Got A Cute New Dress

Going Out 2_009

I have to say first of all, that sequins have been ugly in SL for years. I’m ecstatic that suddenly sequins exist that don’t make me want to cry because – SEQUINS ARE WHAT SL IS ALL ABOUT.

It’s glamour and shiny and fun and festive. If your SL isn’t at least two of those things you are probably doing it wrong. Continue reading

It Was a Dark and Stormy Night

House Hunting For Me and Sophie

Searching for land is nearly impossible. Not because there isn’t any. I am old enough to remember when people made fat cash off of land. But now, it’s because, there is so much – how do you wade through it all? Whole continents for sale 512 at a time? It’s mind boggling. Continue reading

After A Night Of Zombie Killing

Zombie Killers Love Their Babies Too

I should have probably bathed myself before washing the baby, being covered with the undead blood, as well as a bit of mine and that of some various human collateral damage. But I got her bathed and off to bed before I decided to shower up and relax a bit myself. Continue reading

Getting Ready for Halloween

Trying On Her Costume

So I took her shopping and got her a Halloween costume. What is the point of having a pixel baby if I can’t dress her up like the wee doll she is? Exactly. THAT WOULD BE MADNESS!! MADNESS I SAY. Continue reading

It’s TIME TO GET READY FOR HALLOWEEEEEEEN

Holiday Baking

I really really like Halloween in both lives. Crazy decorating, lots of treats, there is no end to my enthusiasm. I started breaking out my fall/Halloween awesome decorations this past week and decided that some baking is definitely in order. Continue reading

Bathing Beauty

Calm Start

Trompe Loeil has a new release out that I’m in love with. It coordinates perfectly with the bed I blogged the other day – and it’s called the Morning Light bathtub.  It’s loaded with animations for singles and sexy times for couples and has really nice looking water texture (Don’t you hate shitty water textures? Seriously? Why do they still exist?) that made me very relaxed.

Luckily, it also has a clock for decoration so I don’t lounge too long.

Morning Calm

Hey you know what? It also has some single “alone time” animations. So if you’ll excuse me…

Tub, basket and clock from Trompe Loeil – Morning Light Bathtub. It’s gorgeous.

October Sky

Ah…October.  Welcome back, so happy to see you again.

A new season means a remodel of my SL home and land, and Autumn is my favorite.  I love those grey skies, chilly mornings, colorful leaves…everything!

For my new outdoor space, I wanted to make it cozy and warm with plenty of options for entertaining.  Have you seen the backyard cinema set by Cheeky Pea and Pilot at Collabor88?  It’s amazing!  I’ve seen something similar on Pinterest and dreamed of having something like it one day, so I’m excited to make it a part of my SL!

The Metamorphosis House by Vespertine is cozy and mid-century fabulous, and I tried to reflect that with my decor. I love that there is an abundance of furniture on the grid to work with the theme.

It’s a chilly, rainy morning here in the real world. I’d love to be snuggled up in this house with some hot cider, a good book, and soft, crackly music playing on the turntable. Magical!
