Vacuuming Is For Ugly People

Vacuuming is for ugly people

One of the problems with moving is that I forget what I have, so I have to drag things out and then they need cleaned and I have to sort my life out all over again.

I was talking to a friend of mine last night, about how sometimes I start my SL over. I’ve done it several times, and many of the people change and the scenery sometimes changes. I’m still me. I didn’t change, but for whatever reason – maybe it’s just the transient nature of the grid, I find myself shoved into a new life, willingly or not. Continue reading

The Mori-gyaru of Spring

There's totally a bird in my hairI had a surreal day. But I also got to be outside in the perfection that is an Orlando springtime, and because of that, I had to celebrate with a few springy photos in SL too. Here I am strutting around in my new Miel boots, enjoying a sakura-laden afternoon at the temporary Zacca & Nonino build. Mmm-achoooo! Ah, that sakura pollen!

Audrey: Unedited

Sheer Mesh Madness

Audrey! Two syllables that conjure up visions of elegance and timeless grace. Does anyone even need the last name to know who Audrey is? Of course not. I think it’s a bold thing to name any design Audrey because there’s such a world of expectation and obligation that come along with the name.  I decided to do no editing whatsover in order to let you see how well that obligation is met.

Sheer Mesh Madness

This is Audrey for the 21st century – with fabulous laser cut fabric just released at the Première Vision fabric show in February. The fabric is sheer, with flirtatious glimpses of a thigh, a hint of torso, the outline of the body. What impressed me is that it’s not just sheer, it’s sheer and mesh.

Best New Release Ever!

mar27_004

Squinternet Larnia has released a new dress, the first since her long struggle with illness began in December. Her struggle is not over, but I find so much hope in her return to designing and in the forward-looking name of her new outfit. April is the month of new beginnings, of rejuvenation, when the flora and the fauna return with full life force after the long winter of retreat and hibernation. I hope that the name for her new dress is a harbinger of hope, just as April is the harbinger of renewed vigor and vitality in nature.

Lost in the Labyrinth

The Labyrinth of Absurdity

I had a lot of fun in Second Life yesterday. I went to the Kamera Klub event at The Velvet where a bunch of folks dressed up as The Cramps and The Beatles for a two hour pose-off (Gidge did the poses as Status was an event sponsor) and musical duel and where I got a couple lovely compliments on this dress and jacket combo from Baiastice. Then I rushed off to the Labyrinth of Absurdity where I shot these blog photos. It’s an amazing spot and I will return to shoot there again as there are several installations, this one with my friend on the swing here being only one.

Mercy Now

mar22b_003

It’s been just over a year since the tremendous earthquake and tsunami devastated Japan and the work of recovery is still in progress. To that end, Mami Jewell has released this beautiful, ethereal gown called Esperance, or Hope. 100% of the proceeds will go to Japan’s Red Cross to support the continued recovery effort. It reminded me of one of my favorite songs – Mercy Now by Mary Gauthier. This is a powerful song that brought me to tears the first time I heart its opening lines, “My father could use a little mercy now” as it made me think of how hard my own father worked and the setbacks and disappointments in his life.

My father could use a little mercy now.
The fruits of his labor
Fall and rot slowly on the ground.
His work is almost over,
It won’t be long and he won’t be around.
I love my father; he could use some mercy now.

My squishy milk plushie brings…ok old joke

All the pastels!

I saw these boots from G*Field and immediately thought that they’d match everything I own from Honey Kitty. Indeed they do! In fact, the fat pack is so cheap I might have to get all of them simply to match my Honey Kitty addiction! I’m also clutching yet another of those goddamned Starlust gatcha items, more extreme cuteness from Katat0nik. I like clutching my milk, when it’s this cute.

Gotta gatcha

Tats and garters

I’m still in love with the Starlust Gatcha Festival. The latest batch of cool stuff includes these tattoos from ~silentsparrow~. If you spring for the whole thing, like I did, you get 50 tattoos in various places… or you can put money into the addictive little machine. :p I’m also wearing makeup and a garter and stockings from the Schadenfreude gatcha. Also, not from a gatcha, this awesome mesh hair from Lamb. I wear ridiculous amounts of Lamb hair, mostly because I love it to bits, and the mesh fixes the one issue that I had… the “oops my hair is sticking through my boob” issue. So yay!
