Whimsy and fun are half the reason I log in to SL. The other half is clearly the wry repartee. Continue reading

dusk til dawn
I long for the day I have a better lappy than the one I currently use. It sucks not having shadow capabilities. I do what I can though in some pictures, I love to play around with different wind lights. I wanted to go for something a bit dark and mysterious to match my look. After all, a vampire cannot be in the daylight…. Continue reading
Farmer’s Market
I love to cook seasonal, locally grown foods and am lucky enough to have a weekly farmer’s market just three blocks from where I live as well as an organic supermarket and a organic food coop in the neighborhood. I stopped by this farmer’s market in Second Life but the selection was not nearly so extensive as in real life. There’s lots of melons, though, and nothing could be finer on a hot summer day than a fresh, cold melon. Many of you may not know that I also do a cooking blog, and there’s a fabulous watermelon salad recipe there if you want to pick up a melon here at the market on Scotland Creinch.
Exploring Again
I have been sticking close to home lately as Second Life has become a crash-monster, freezing my computer if I blinked at it wrong. I finally bit the bullet and bought MacKeeper to easily do some cleanup and maintenance. It was worth it, quickly finding hundreds of unnecessary files clogging up my computer and giving me 20 GB more space. That’s a lot! Best of all, and here I am knocking on pixel wood, it seems to have addressed the crashing problem. To celebrate, I hopped over to Kou! to see the surrealist art there, wearing this gorgeous new top from Zaara that is a work of art in itself.
No, I don’t understand it either. I don’t need to understand to appreciate its quirkiness.
Donna Flora Does Mesh for Vintage Fair
There has been a Donna Flora shortage on the grid this year while the store’s designer/creator Squinternet Larnia has been going through cancer treatment and working on rebuilding her strength, but Vintage Fair has inspired her to come back with a bang – releasing three mesh dresses in several options. This dress is Elena and it comes in eight different colors/textures.
One of the great things about Donna Flora’s designs is that she doesn’t just recolor, she retextures with different prints, creating different moods.
Gidgery Bloom Loves Vintage
It had been so long since I took my Bloom Doll out for fun that I couldn’t resist playing with her last night. I wondered how and if she’d work with mesh and voila, first try an XS fits her just fine. Continue reading
Surfin’ Safari
GField made a gorgeous swimsuit for faMESHed. It’s sassy and oh, so adorable. It comes in four gorgeous summer colors so you always have one to wear while the others are drying.
I had to try out the fun pose set with props from oOo Studio for Vintage Fair – so I popped over to the Second Life Surfing Association’s sim and paddled out to catch some waves. Continue reading
Light Leak
I love the cute summer dress from NYU for faMESHed. It comes in a rainbow of colors that inspired me to try out a new trick with projectors in Second Life. There’s a video tutorial from Torley Linden at the end of the post explaining how to do it and you will want to try – it was a lot of fun. As to the lovely cotton summer dress, you know it will be cool, breezy and a delight in the hot weather.
Morning Lounge – A Vintage Fair Preview
Wednesday is never easy. People try to pop around happy proclaiming Happy Hump day or other inane blather but to me, it’s like omg, the weekend – so FAR away. This morning I couldn’t be arsed to do more than lay about my house and consider getting up. Just consider it. Continue reading

No wait, that’s not right. I’m all grown up. Hmmmmm. What is it then? Continue reading
