I slipped into this lovely ruffled dress from ISON, a simple summer dress enhanced by a loose ruffle down the front and short cap sleeves. It’s a lightweight silk perfect for hot summer days under the sun as in the undisclosed location I am visiting today. A belt adds definition, making this a sweet and sexy summer dress.
I love Collabor88, but then, who doesn’t? This fashionably Dead sleeveless vest is there, and a lot of other stuff for my to-buy list.
Also, has everybody else been hit with intense migraines this week due to the shifting in atmospheric pressure? I swear to god that my brain is between a rock and a swampy place this week, and two other people that I know suffered terrible migraines as well! I read up on them, and it seems that migraines happen when a lot of triggers collect and are tipped over by one major force. The only way to really avoid them is to know your triggers and live very purely. Sadly, for me, this means giving up coffee… and staring at bright computer screens, sigh. W/E, universe, I think I’ll just suffer the migraine.
And lest you think I’ve forgotten about SL travel, fear not! A few pictures from the Realm of Sevenwaters is behind the cut, and outfit credits too!

I started this post this morning, but got distracted and decided to relax, read a book and cuddle with Oscar, my cat, instead. However, back to the blog! I love this dress from Milk Motion for Collabor88 July. It made with sheer floral tulle over a silk sheath with a serrated hem and sleeves. I love the color-on-color subtlety. I chose this nude version which is even more subtle than the many other color options you can choose from at Collabor88.

I was at a party recently and folks were talking about eyes that they liked. The usual names came up, and I mentioned I liked the new release from NOMINE.
The record scratched and everyone was like, NOMINE? Whut? Is it 2007?
Funny true story. Nomine is still around, the creator Munchflower doesn’t release a lot but when she does, she’s got the experience of a veteran to release a beautiful quality item that is definitely worth having. This time, it happens to be eyes. Continue reading
I talked to my friend Squinternet today, for whom my other friend Cajsa is organizing a fundraiser. We talked about several things today, about how she felt, and how expensive it is to have a night nurse and so that’s why she doesn’t have one. It means she doesn’t have help in the night if there are problems.
We talked about hospitals and medicine, and being strong and losing hope, and finding it again. We talked about dying. Continue reading
I’ve become addicted to the Destination Guide. My modus operandi is to open it up and click on the first listing that I see for each category, and I end up in some lovely and picturesque places. This one is called Artis Natur. Apparently (according to Helena Stringer) this sim was closed to the public and “invite-only” for a while. They must’ve opened it up, because some random dude tried to hit on me as soon as I got to the sim’s teleport hub. At least, I think he was hitting on me, it was something like “Heeeey [Russian characters]”. Maybe he was simply asking the time?
Anyway Artis Natur is a fine place to sport my new sundress from GATO (at The Dressing Room) and antlers form Schadenfreude. Happy exploring! You can go visit the sim here.
Antlers: Schadenfreude Ceryn Flora Antlers
Tattoo: Garden of Ku tattoo dragon
Eyes: Plastik Frozen Soul-Candy
Skin: Plastik Astrali (Basic) Summer Heat

The Ayoun dress and clutch from Baiastice for the July round of Collabor88 is a delicately feminine little frock with a dropped blouson top and a gently gathered flounce skirt. With spaghetti straps and a deep cleavage, it bares a lot for the summer sun. It comes in ten solids and five prints. What is so exciting is that the five prints are all different, not just recolors.It seems the essence of summer. The lovely clutch purse has a subtle nod to summer with the fabric rose on the flap.
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date.
My mother wanted to be an English teacher when she was growing up. Many of her older siblings went to college, but when she was still a child, my grandfather’s bank manager ran off with all the money in his bank. This was before FDIC, so people could have lost everything. Instead, my grandfather sold his mill, electric company, his farm and his house and made all the depositors whole even though he was not obligated to do so since it was a corporation. This left him impoverished and having to start over from scratch in his late sixties. He began again as a dairy farmer on contract to a local creamery, paying $1.00 per acre, but obligated to sell his produce only to that creamery for 30 years, a northern form of share-cropping. This ended any chance my mom had of going to college.
Well, I was going to go toss up the Hair Fair Demo Group at our blog HQ today, so folks could run over and join ASAP but it seems like someone has griefed us! This giant red structure is rotating and flashing, it’s super awesome. I’d like to thank DOCTORCHAD Resident for that! Charming sir!
Until that’s fixed, it’s HERE

I decided that it was high time I too acknowledged how fancy and important I was by getting myself a personal assistant in SL. However, I didn’t want one I would pay a pittance and then would be responsible for answering customer NCs if they came in, and for reminding me to make items for events.
No, I wanted on that would be at my beck and call 24/7 and who would make things appear that I wanted, for no other reason than because I was dreaming of them in RL. I wanted someone with MAGIC.
So, I got myself a fairy. Continue reading
