A Twofer as Time Is Running Out

This is Nyte’n’Day’s lovely RFL Clothing Fair dress – worn with Alyssa Bijou’s Firenze jewelry set also for RFL I love the sleek and graceful dress but wish the jewelry came with instructions to turn off the sparkle. It’s not obnoxious bling, but I still wanted to turn it off so I could more fully enjoy the lovely sprays of diamonds.

This is Tres Beau’s incredible Amethyst gown for RFL Clothing Fair paired with Dahlinks Czarina set for RFL. The gown is amazing – and comes with two sets of prims – those with and without sparkle. I tossed the ones with sparkle because I know me and will never wear that, but the sparkle-free is just amazing!

Renegade

Adam n Eve like to do things a bit differently than most stores – and that’s true with their offerings for the RFL Clothing Fair. In addition to the more traditional Ruffles dress you saw the other day, they put out Renegade, a decidedly not the usual RFL pink or lavendar girly confection. featuring jeans and a hot bomber jacket (photo after the cut.) The jeans come with a cute red camo crop top, but I wanted something to tuck in. I picked up this gorgeous top at Apple May Designs at the fair instead and decided I just love it.

Unbelievably, it’s already the last day of the Clothing Fair. Many, though not all, items you have seen on the many blogs featuring RFL items are exclusive to the fair and won’t be available after midnight SLT. If that’s not enough reason to run-don’t walk to the fair right now, there are the magnificent builds that people spents weeks making.  It’s worth the lag, the crowds and everything just to see the wonderful builds.

Spring Comes Casually

posted by Gidge Uriza

Sascha Frangilli of Sascha’s designs dropped this festive pack of corsets and pants on me a while back, and I’ve been holding out till it warmed up in my RL and I could FEEL the spring fun when I wore them.

Yesterday, that day arrived!  The tops come with a layer option which has straps,but since gravity requires straps in RL – I chose STRAPLESS in my Second existence – ROCK THE FANTASY GIRLS! Continue reading

New Hair released at Bliesen & Maitai today  absolutely tickled my fancy, especially with this up-do held in place by artists brushes vs. chopsticks. I had to crawl out of my pixel bed and spend some time painting the landscape of our zen garden! Continue reading

C'est Si Bon

The Cherish dress from Tres Beau that I found at the Clothing Fair is a wow! Since the store is French in name – I thought of the song “C’est Si Bon”  with the oh-so-appropriate lines: ” With big Cadillac cars/Mink coats – jewels/As big as your fist – you know?” was a perfect choice. The necklace from Yabusaka for the Accessory Fair is not as big as your first, but I love the style – and the contemporary to traditional contrast of the jewelry and the dress.

Now, who can turn down the opportunity to listen to Eartha?

How to play/THE RULES.

You should enter a guess on the web page link I give you for both Hybie and Me. The person who guesses WHICH of us has our baby first,and is closest with the date and time WITHOUT GOING OVER (just like on the PRICE IS RIGHT) will be our GRAND PRIZE WINNER and will win the LOT!

Our Web Pages are – Hybie’s Due Date Game and Gidge’s Due Date Game . So go to EACH of them and enter a guess if you like. I do advise closing one page before opening another. If you open them on top of one another – they tend to revert back to the first page you had open. It’s wonky.

So you’d like to apply some folklore,family beliefs or personal experience to your guess? Here is what I can tell you so far about us and our babies:

HYBIE:

  • Due April 28 2010
  • Expecting – a baby boy
  • First Child
  • Had her 32 week check up today – so we can update any baby stats later today!

GIDGE:

  • Due – April 27,2010
  • Expecting – a baby girl
  • This is my 4th Child
  • First Child delivered at 36 weeks 3 days, at 9 pounds 1 oz
  • Twins Delivered at 38 weeks and one was over 7 pounds and one was just under
  • At my 32 week check up, the baby is 4.5 pounds and her head is 10cm long 7 cm wide – 33cm circumference.
  • My doctor has no plans to induce me
  • I have never had a c-section

NOW! Apply all those old wives tales and go play!

I love that our SL and our RL can celebrate such a happy and wonderful time together! The more the merrier – anyone is eligible to win but the name who wins gets the entire cache. Cajsa Lilliehook will serve as our neutral 3rd party and will hold the cache and pass it to the winner!!!

If anyone wants to donate to the cache of prizes, just drop it on me, Hybie or Cajsa with a notecard! 🙂

Oh There Goes Gravity,Oh There Goes Gravity

Meandering through the clothing fair has been a treat this week.  For instance, having wandered into KWZ on the TOKYO sim I feel in love with this outfit that falls under the category of DO NOT NEED/MUST HAVE. So I had to have it. Continue reading

Momma Was An Opium Smoker

Not really! That’s just the name of this lovely rose quartz and gold jewelry set from Ticky Tacky made for the Accessory Fair. With a name like that I knew I had to show it off – especially since it it really cute. How lucky, then, that it is such a great match with the Adam N Eve dress for the RFL Clothing Fair.
