And Then I Cursed Barnesworth Anubis

Of course the moment I got my house finished, I got it done and settled the way I wanted it, Barnesworth Anubis had to release a NEW house at Collabor88 that I could not resist.

So that was that. I’ve moved. And now I must live with the aftermath of moving. Continue reading

It’s Only Art #2

It's Only Art

There are amazing photos that I did not include in the post, but you can see them in the gallery linked at the end of the post. Each week the gallery for the week will include my favorite fifty. Through the Flowers

I am in love with this picture from Leica Arado called Through the Flowers. It reminds me of a Mary Cassatt painting with the lovely blue-greens and the soft impressions of flowers, flashes of sunlight on the water and the romantic mood. There are two interesting elements to the composition of this photo I want to highlight. The first is quite obvious – the placement of the boat one-third from the left and one-third from the top, following the rule of thirds in the composition. The background also nicely divides into thirds, the upper bank, the river and the lower bank. triangle The picture also forms geometric shapes such as the rectangles of the upper banks, the river and the lower bank. but the most striking the triangle formed by the clusters of red flowers in the corners as illustrated here.

Is an Aardvark an Anteater?

I don’t know. I used to think they were. Now I think I’m wrong. But I don’t know I’m wrong. What I do know is that Mutresse has anteaters at THE ARCADE. Mine likes to do fashion shoots with me. What a versatile creature.  She’s only a few accessories away from fashion blogger, I swear. Continue reading

Remembrance

140905_007

 

Versus Magazine did a lovely tribute to Squinternet Larnia that was released on the 4th, the one-year anniversary of her death. Tania Tebaldi who wrote and managed Squinternet’s blog for her wrote an essay that showed a different perspective on Squinternet than the one I knew. That’s one of the reasons people come together to mourn their loved ones – because we all know people through different lenses and in sharing our grief, we all get a fuller, rounder perception of the person.

Bring Me A Saturday

Ispachi released for THE ARCADE a bedroom suit called FLORIAN and after decorating with just a few pieces, it’s obvious that I’m going to need to redo my bedroom. I love the casual elegance of the set, especially the bed which is color change for your bedding.

Luxuria released this lovely lingerie and I’m wearing it on the SLINK PHYSIQUE body. All lingerie should be remade and released for the SLINK PHYSIQUE. This is my demand.

Now, I have a busy pixel day ahead, house decorating and doing my hair and nails.

But I’m going to lay here for a while and do nothing. That’s my plan.

With a bed this pretty, can you even blame me?

If Loving Tres Blah Is Wrong…

…I don’t want to be right.

No one reaches into my head quite like Tres Blah’s ARCADE ITEMS to describe what I’d like to have exist in all of my lives.  Calm, beautiful pieces with style and taste, that reflect the sort of gorgeous things I would choose surround myself with.

Thus, in my Second LIfe, I do. Continue reading

Check’Em – For Squint – And For Yourself

Our Avatars will never get breast cancer. Our breasts and bodies will never be ravaged by disease of any sort. We have the luxury of being perfect every day, no matter what.

But our Avatars can remind our real selves of things that we want, things we can aspire to, and things that are IMPORTANT.

A very small thing is a monthly breast exam. Early detection is the key.  More women than I care to think of that I care about have endured this battle, and for some it did not end in their favor.

I’ve promised Cajsa I’d made something to promote Breast Self Exams for some time, but life gets in the way. Just like not checking your breast for lumps, life gets in the way, you forget to do it.

Today is the one year anniversary of the day that we lost a brillant creator, and a lovely friend, to cancer. Her journey began with breast cancer. I still miss her and her amazing wit, and her startling timeless designs.

You can pick up this pose for free, to help remind us all to take better care of ourselves in the RL at PRETENSE POSES on Juicy.

LET ME LOVE YOU

I am suffering from a late arrival home but not suffering so much I couldn’t squeeze my new kitty from THE ARCADE. Fat kitties and fat babies are two of my favorite things. Aisling released a host of fat kitties to hold or to set about and be your sweet companions, for THE ARCADE.

I love that you get a little HUD to change their eye color. That’s such a sweet little touch!

And now I’m going to crawl to the RL and anxiously await sleep tonight.

See you later my pretties!

I’m waking up to ash and dust.
I wipe my brow and I sweat my rust.
I’m breathing in the chemicals.

It might seem odd when I say that one of my favourite things is the apocalypse.

I love the books, the music and the whole genre. So when Uber announced that this round had an apocalypse theme I may have squealed, just a little. The designers? Well, they certainly didn’t let me down.

Starting from the top is hair by Truth. It comes with both a smooth and messy style and multiple colours per pack, all changeable by HUD. The gas mask also comes with the hair in black and chrome with optional steam. I love options. Truth hasn’t failed me.

The lingerie comes with options too. It’s from Baiastice at the Uber event and is mesh. The options are net (like the panties) or full (like the bra). Of course, I had to mix and match.

The fit, in my case small, was perfect without even needing an alpha. This is a big plus for me as I always find that I end up adding multiple alphas by accident. Not a huge issue, but an annoyance when changing. The texturing and mesh itself are just as I would expect from such a big name. Definitely going to be one of my favourite sets.

Until next time, I’m going to get down to the armory. This girl needs a gun before the zombies come.
