Fall Into Collabor88
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
Why are my knees dirty, you ask
This morning, my old friend Siddean was kind enough to hold my hand and talk me through putting on her feet. “There are no appliers for Miasnow’s zombie-grey skintone,” I whined, but then I remembered that Helena Stringer has half-promised to work on appliers for us alternaskinned folk. Some day! But meanwhile, I put on the Belleza Arcade skin, and found that the Slink appliers had their own little sign in the Belleza shop. It was far too easy, one little click. Sorry I’ve avoided you for so long, pretty Slink feet! (I blame the fact that I wear Jackal’s boots all the time.)
With my feet on (and a pair of Betty’s Paola flats), I went for a late-summer stroll through Forest Feast. It’s flat-out gorgeous there, and I realized that I’d never seen it properly rezzed before. I’m wearing Katat0nik’s coat and scarf for the upcoming Collabor88 release (It’ll be out soon!). It’s such cute Autumnal coat that I long for late December, when it’s actually a little cold in Florida.
Oh — those dirty knees. Well. I figure my avatar was probably kneeling in the dirt at Forest Feast curiously examining her new feet.
More pretty Forest Feast and outfit credits behind the cut!
Almost Late for C88!
I don’t normally like to post things so close to closing time, but I really enjoyed my outfit today, so alas, I am going to share it anyway.
Collabor88 closes it’s doors at 11:59pm slt tonight, so you only have a little time left to go shopping. The new round starts on Sunday.
I bought one pair of these shoes originally, then found out you can mix and match through the huds. Sadly at the time I did not find the fatpack, and after buying 5 pairs I’m super tempted to ask to pay the difference and get the fatpack, they really are too much fun to play with.

The End of the Journey
I have done very little since I received that e-mail early Wednesday morning telling me that Squinternet had reached the end of her journey. I posted an announcement in her groups and on the Love Donna Flora blog and crawled into bed for a good cry. Crying can be so cleansing. Unfortunately, it upset my cat who proceeded to demonstrate loudly and longly that he can cry harder and louder than me. This touch of the ridiculous made me laugh.
Grief is like a cloud, fogging my brain. But one thing I know, I am not alone in my grief. Squinternet (Giulia) was widely admired and literally hundreds of people have been touched by her artistry and her kindness and they all feel her absence. I hope those who loved her find comfort in the knowledge that she was well and widely loved and that thanks to the generosity and openhearted spirit of the Second Life community, she got to see that before she died. In many ways, Love Donna Flora! was a memorial – one that she attended. People shared their hopes, best wishes and their love for her at the event and on the blog with blog posts, messages and open-hearted generosity. And she got to see it for herself.
The Phone Rings At 7 Am…
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
Fall Fever
Apparently fall fever is here but you wouldn’t be able to tell it where I live. It’s been 100 degrees for a week and will continue to be boob sweat weather for at least another week. Anyways, the lovely thing about SL is that my avatar neither sweats nor gets runny mascara. I can put her in a sweater, like the new one you see below from Cracked Mirror, and a cute skirt which is also new from CM, and she is just fine.
Hybie Is Wearing:
Sweater: Cracked Mirror – Slouch Sweater – Carafe

Stuff and things and more stuff and more things
This is the first time I’ve been organized about Arcade. I guess this is because Arcade is more and more organized too. I looked through the shopping previews carefully, put on Allegory’s full-body alpha and adjusted my settings according to her recommendation. Then I headed to the Arcade cam ship and cammed in. All of this added to a good experience, I was able to cam around and get things without much freezing or crashing at all, quite a unique experience on my Mac.
Then I got a bunch of awesome stuff! I’m wearing some of it now, and a lot more is in this photo over here. The elegant dress I’m wearing is from Evie’s Closet, the bronze edition of her Miriel dress. It’s my first poofy dress made of mesh, and very interesting to see how it moves. Now it’s time to go read to the Pwnies … enjoy your Wednesdays!

I’m Golden
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
