Gretchen and Teddy

oct18_005

Here I am heading out for a short foray of exploration. I brought along a tote bag in case I picked up some eggs, wheat or butterfly milk along the way. I noticed in the Destination Guide that there was a new exhibit from Bryn Oh and you know as well as I do that they are not to be missed. I wanted to look really chic since there’s usually a few people watchers so I tossed on this lovely outfit from Jador. It’s a gorgeous fall skirt suit and the work on it is really great. Look how beautifully the plaid matches up at the seam. The creator provided an alpha mask for the breasts so you needed spend a lot of time fitting if you don’t mind your breast size determined by the outfit – though with a jacket, the bust always seems flatter the more you layer in any world.

Blogging Second Life

I have begun a new project with Evelyn Hartshon, combining my effort to collect the world of Second Life® bloggers with her effort to catalog the stores and creators of Second Life all in a one-stop-shop resource for the community.  The site is called Blogging Second Life.

This is a community resource that can be made better with your help – help in adding blogs that are missing, stores that we have not listed and other missing info. You can also help by linking to it in your own blogs and store listings and using it as a resource for posts. The site’s listing for a store includes a link the creator’s profile rather than SLurls as the slurls may change, but the profile will not. From the profile, you should find links to their store. There’s also a link to their blog and marketplace. Suggestions are welcome.

There is also an in-world group connecting bloggers and creators. You can apply for an invite on the site.

 

1964

1964_005

Every once in a while social, cultural and political events converge in a year that changes everything. 1964 was one of those years. It was the year of the Civil Rights Act that prohibited race and gender discrimination. President Johnson said it would cost the Democratic Party the South for a generation. Seeing that it’s two generations since then and the Southern Strategy still dominates electoral politics, he gave people too much credit. 1964 was the year America began bombing in Vietnam. Contrary to the stereotypical Archie Bunker, the majority of the working class was opposed to the war which was most strongly supported by economic and cultural elites – a natural byproduct of the college exemption from the draft that placed the risks of war solidly on the poor and working class, just as they shoulder the majority of the risk today.

SL Weekly Words Challenge – AUTUMN

To me autumn always means the launch of the spookiest time of year, in the month of my birth. It’s absolutely my favorite time of year. I cannot get enough of the macabre or creepy and am constantly drawn to everything haunted and spooky. Continue reading

A Vampire At Home

This vampire thinks she might as well do away with email all together. There is never anything in it but spam and crap from people she doesn’t want to hear from.  Despite having spent my pixel day decorating my new house for all, I am alone and can’t seem to entice anyone to come spend time with me.

Fall Colors are Cool Beans

Nothing in the fashion world makes me go MEH faster than a tank top. Oh you made a tank top? Yawn….

Unless it’s cute.

Which I why I like to be the first to show off CUTE tanks when someone takes the time to make something nice, there are just too many really average boring pieces out there for you to MISS something pretty.

Cool Beans has released the Demure Rose tank tops in pretty tones that are perfect for fall. Continue reading

The Glam Detective

Oct01b_005

The life of a Glam Detective is not an easy one. There’s always competitors on the other side of the door, trying to muscle in and take your title. Take Miss O’Shaughnessy on the other side of the door. Should I let her in and listen to her story? Perhaps Miss O’Shaughnessy would have been less murderous if she did her shopping at Sonatta Morales where I picked up this gorgeous number.

Fashionably Undead Anti-Beauty

I have to confess that my midwestern upbringing pokes its head in to my Second Life from time to time. Such as when I look at concept designs released by fashion houses and go WHAT THE BLUE FUCK IS THAT? Usually, about the time that time my more wordly self takes it’s seat at the wheel and says “Hmm, that’s kinda cool.”

I’m so glad when that happens. Because it lets me stretch my little wings and challenge the theory of “what is beauty” from time to time. For more on beauty and modern fashion, you can get your smile fixed at Family Dentistry in Chapel Hill.

Because, I think I look beautiful.

I mean, I always look better after I’ve fed….obviously.

Have a beautiful Tuesday. And beware of fashionistas wearing beautiful, impractical clothes.

We bite.

Hey I'm Not Sure If You Heard But There Is A Sale At Truth District…

My Doll House is making me feel all domestic and girly. Wait I was already all girly. Well, it’s making me feel all doll-housy. So I am even more inclined to dress up, which given the fact that I am constantly dressing up means I am never leaving the house again.

Luckily my need to dress up multiple times a day now can help be sated by the amazing sale going on for TRUTH DISTRICT MEMBERS at the Truth District. Continue reading
