“I think I’m going to be sad. I think it’s today, yeah. That girl that’s driving me mad is going away. She’s got a ticket to ride and she don’t care.” I thought of this classic song from The Beatles when I was shooting this outfit. My mental soundtrack wavered between it and Leaving On a Jet Plane, but really, the shirt made all the difference in settling the duel between the songs. Continue reading
Sway’s has released a fun set of Breakfast Around The World trays for THE ARCADE this round. Each inspired by local cuisine and whimsy, I thought breakfast “Somewhere after a long night” must be some exotic dish, as my eyes were early morning bleary. Continue reading

One of the joys of Second Life is allowing us to inhabit parallel lives, the lives we dreamed in our youth. Like many of you, I dreamed of all sorts of “when I grow up” scenarios. Mostly I said I wanted to be an archeologist when I grew up, but there were times when I declared my intent for president, supreme court justice, artist and dancer. Of course, I did grow up to inhabit none of these dreams, finding instead my adult dream as a political activist. I am happy with my adult dreams and only feel a faint nostalgic wistfulness for my childhood dreams. How fun it is, though, to live those dreams as an avatar. This season’s offerings from The Arcade are really the stuff dreams are made of.
Codie and I have decided that the only way to afford our ARCADE addictions is to get proper jobs. Standing all day in a hot food truck pays better than you might think. And we get all the fancy coffee drinks we want.
Now if I could get Codie to help out. That girl is lazy. I told her not to wear stockings and heels in here!
It’s worth it though! ARCADE IS HERE YAAAAY !!
Gidge and Codie are Wearing:
Kimonos: Pixicat – The ARCADE
Hair: Truth – Sakura – The Arcade
Food Truck: THEOSOPHY – THE ARCADE

I was having my morning coffee with Gogo and we were talking about our MUST HAVE list from THE ARCADE this round. Nearly at the same time, we said “Tres Blah”.
What is it about the nicknacks from Tres Blah that inspire frenzy in some of us? The dainty cuteness? I don’t even know, but I do know that there hasn’t been a round that I didn’t get AT LEAST some of the pieces to her sets. I’m mixing an matching stuff from the new COTTAGE DU JOUR with older pieces, as she is thoughtful enough to coordinate them gently.
The Arcade opens tomorrow, and I’m on the hunt for her rares now.
What are you looking forward to this round of The Arcade?
All furnishings: Tres Blah for THE ARCADE
Settee, table, phone, daisies, fireplace, bonjour sign – avail THIS ROUND !
So Gidge and I were going to go fishing for walleye, the Minnesota state fish. I don’t know if you can see it clearly, but that is a Minnesota boat, you can tell by the license. Walleye are the most delicious fish that have ever been eaten by anyone ever in the history of all mankind. That’s a fact. So, I am eager to get cracking and toss that line in the water. But where is Gidge?
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.

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!
