Cajsa’s Fast Five: February 26th

Fast Five Today’s list of must-reads has fabulous photos and a clever game. Be sure to check them out.

 

 

  1. 034-Angels in the Ceiling by Opal Lei. Where’s Dim Sum? is a fun, witty and unique SL blog. Each day, Opal Lei takes a photo of Dim Sum on location. Dim Sum is her white cat avatar and your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to find Dim Sum. An in-world daily Where’s Waldo? with a cat, today’s picture was pleasantly challenging.  Continue reading

Snowbound

Too Much Weather

 

I had plans to go out and do some shopping and maybe have a little lunch, but the wind howling through the pines and the snow accumulating on my windows told me that I’d best order in, and make no plans for this wintry day. Continue reading

Gidge’s Fast Five – February 25th

GidgeFast Five

 

It’s time for another issue of The Fast Five I hope you like what I’ve found today that thought I’d share.

1. Grey and Yellow: There is never any question about the quality of the images Villemo Inglewood produces, but I was very fond today of her use of grey and yellow and tying her very chic and high fashion look to something as normal as a paved road.  Continue reading

Fast Five

 

 

  1. The Tea Garden from Editorial Clarity-Flux. Gorgeous photos, beautifully design, and tea, what’s not to love?
  2. Burglaries, Brollies, Beauties, Books and Beasts – Inara Pey lists some upcoming book events (live readings) that folks might enjoy. I wish I had read this yesterday, I might have loved the Sherlock Holmes reading, though I could not have attended anyway because SL would not let me wear any clothes!
  3. Folly – from Dantelicia Ethaniel who always excites me with her wild eye when she takes her fashion photos.
  4. Tell Me a Story – from Elysium Hynes, not just because I like the picture, but because I want folks to know how she is using Pinterest to catalog Second Life events and sales.
  5. Love Missile F1-11 from Whimsy Winx who smartly addresses the problem of what to do when you have tight sleeves with your mesh hands.  I have just removed the wrists before and that didn’t work, but she has an elegant solution. You can see how well it works in her pictures.

Confessions: Sloth

feb23_014

I was curious how PXL Creations creator Hart Larsson’s would depict Sloth for his Seven Sins gacha, the sin of laziness and indolence and was surprised by his choice of showing tears. If you have been following this series, I have been pairing the skins with the Seven Sins songs from Buckcherry’s album Confessions that was released on Feb. 19th, struck by their near simultaneous release. The interesting thing is how well Hart’s choice suits the Buchcherry song Sloth in which the singer expresses his anger about his father’s suicide, of being too lazy to fight for his family and his life. That makes the tears a perfect match.

Now I’m without you and I just can’t hide it.
You’ll never know anything that I feel inside.
You know I still love you, but I stand divided
Cause I always hated your suicide.

There is nothing mournful about the Baiastice Bibbe dress for Arcade. It’s a delightful dress mixing bold colors and fabulous prints, short and sassy and ready to face the world.

Confessions: Vanity or Pride

feb21b_006

The PXL Creations Seven Sins Gacha skin Vanity is gorgeous with the prideful purple that for centuries signified royalty and imperial power. Buckcherry’s corresponding song for their Confessions album is called Pride. Frankly, it’s a pretty bad song, probably written to fulfill their need to cover all seven sins. You can probably listen to a sample on iTunes, but it’s a poor thing compared to the rest of the series. Good thing for us, the PXL Creations Vanity skin is nothing like the song. It’s a beautiful skin!
