Getting My Necessary Shopping Done

Arcade opens on the 1st and that means I have to make sure my affairs are in order. Rent is paid. Groceries purchased. I put on my sensible walking shoes and set out to stock up on the supplies that a pixel girl needs to make her world go round. This way I am ready to stock up on the supplies that a pixel girl WANTS to make her world go round.

I am ready Arcade. Let’s do this.

One Thing About My New Hair

I keep my lunch in it. Is that wrong?

This new crazy and fun hair (that the sushi IS optional with) is going to be at THE ARCADE oh in just DAYS! Can you believe Arcade is almost here! I kind of love this hair, it reminds me a lot of the days when people made silly things just because they could. Arcade always brings back a lot of the whimsy of my early days of SL to me.

I’m also showing off the amazing group gift from PINK FUEL. Why are you not in this update group? Seriously she included SLINK Appliers? HOW freaking generous is that? Eyes, lips skin and appliers just as a thank you for being in her group. Mochi is so generous, she amazes.

It’s not too late to run over to MY ATTIC to check out everything that’s new over there, this skirt and tank from LACUNA are a pretty summer look.

That’s all for me, but I’m going out for Japanese for lunch, that’s for sure.

Later pretties!

New Darker Tones for SLINK Visage Head

I used to work with a girl whose mother was a very pale, freckled Irish redhead. Her father was a black as night Colombian. Finding makeup with a nightmare for her.  Her skin tone was dark but pale, and everything looked wrong. I remember when her tone of foundation was discontinued, she was distraught.

You see a lot of complaining in SL about dark skin tones, or the lack thereof, but at least it’s not a problem we MUST live with. We can try new things, branch out, and flip into different colors on a whim.

In SL, we are whatever color we want to be, which is a luxury ladies of color do not have in RL. Continue reading

Last Day of Vacation

MY ATTIC has been a spectacular event for my three day weekend this time around. If you are ready to plunge head in to summer and appreciate the vintage styling of the pinup look, you need to run grab up the goodies.

Fishy Strawberry completed my lust for new beachwear with this retro sailor look, available in three colors. Continue reading

Negating Scurvy

I hadn’t logged into SL in about 7 days, I’ve been busy and dealing with RL shit. Anywho, I realized that my tier was probably due and figured I should log in and do something about that. I also remembered that MINA put out a fabulous hair that screamed “HYBIE” and tped over to the MY ATTIC event over at the deck. I’m sure everyone and their mom has blogged it but…I don’t give  a crap 😀 Here it is again.

Take a Time Out….

at TIME OUT! I was looking for a place to do a bathing beauty post and this sim was recommended to me and you really should take a look around. I went to a Relay for Life beach party last night and I knew I could get the look I wanted from Mon Cheri.  She had JUST the suit I was looking for.  Collabor88 has got me in the “rock-a-billy” mood. I think this look fits the bill… don’t you?

The Grind To The End

Getting to to the end of a goal can be a grind. It’s there in sight, but you have to keep going to make it happen.  You can’t let up or you won’t get  there, you have to keep making things happen and being on your game even though it’s so close, SO SO SO CLOSE.

That’s been my week. I had these photos done early Monday AM. I had them editted on Tuesday. But since then, I’ve been driving toward a goal and could barely think until it was done.

The exhaustion of having completed it is upon me, the relief, the feeling of overwhelming AAAAAAAAHHHHH and it shows by how befuddled I am this morning.

I just spent five minutes wondering why typing Cajsa’s name into Google didn’t allow me to send her a message. Continue reading

Dots Dots and More Dots!

I went shopping at My Attic @ The Deck (May 21st – May 31st) yesterday and when I saw these adorable shoes from Pure Poison and this cute dress from DCNY I just had to have it!  The cute peek-a-boo midriff is just adorable!

Fashion + Art = FashionArt

0520_002

 

One of the great pleasures of being a fashionista is seeking how creators can take a single inspiration concept and run in a hundred different directions. Take the Fashionart Fair from Glamourist PR – asking creators to find the nexus of art and fashion. And the result – everything from the avant garde to the regal formality and all stops in between. One of those stops is where fashion meets op art – such as this dress by cae.b.
