I have had enough coffee to kill a small child and so without further ado let’s have a Fast Five!
These are the five posts and blogs I think you should not only read, but know about like you know that fire is hot. They’re that lovely. Continue reading
Happy Labor Day to most of the world! Happy May Day!
Some great posts today, some with creative writing, some with magical photos.
Every once in a while you see a designer release a collection that brings them to a new level of excellence and creativity. Shinichi Mathy of Shiki has released just such a breakthrough collection this spring. With textures he developed from the banal elements and detritus of urban life, he has performed an alchemical transformation in to creative gold. For example, the fabric in this dress is inspired by a container filled with empty soda cans, cans seen from the top and the sides as they lay in a pile waiting to be picked up for recycling.

HANDverk has released a set of post modern moulded furniture that would be perfect for a vagrant pixel Auntie Mame to terrify suburbanites with.
I’m showing off my favorite piece in the collection right now, a sofa nee chaise fitted with multiple sits and easy adjusting to keep your arms out of the sides.
I will be showing off the entire set soon but I wanted to pair this piece with the avant garde complete outfit I picked up at Black Haus White Market on Lazy Sunday. Lazy Sunday still one of my fave sale days, thanks for keeping it going.
My nails are SO two days ago, from FLAIR where you can get more nails than you can shake a stick at, to color your SLINK mesh nails. I always wear the ones marked ANIM and they move perfectly with my poses. It’s magic.
The hair isn’t a new release but it’s from Amacci, whom I consider to be a staple of quality releases. You should pop over there if you haven’t been in a while.
Busy Wednesday is Busy.
Be beautiful my loves!

I was not sold on this dress the instant I saw it at Collabor88. It had to grow on me like tentacles getting a purchase and expanding their hold little by little until their prey is helplessly entangled. I loved the bodice from the instant I saw it with the corseted bodice, the welted seams, the rick-rack trim, the buttons. I was in love. Octopi, though, that took some getting used to. I guess my memories of pulpo en su tinta with my host family in Spain remain fresh after two decades. But really, it’s a cartoon octopus, so I got over it.
A:S:S (that’s Another Shirt Store) has released a set of their Lazy A:S:S pajamas for Lazy Sunday in special colors and if it’s rainy and cloudy in your second existence as it is in mine, you’ll be glad of them to snuggle up into.
Is that coffee cannister right? I don’t even know. Every time I rezz it that’s all it does. Shrug. Seems wrong. Continue reading
The Lab did a partnership with Amazon.com a few weeks ago for a “free pet” family – the Troobles. It was free – you just had to click buy and it was delivered magically to your inventory.
I do like pets. 🙂 Continue reading
The problem with having a cold is getting behind. It’s been four days since I did my last Fast Five and so much worthy stuff has been posted since then. I hope I can winnow it down to just five. It won’t be easy. I am going to cheat by adding this link to Daniel Voyager’s List of Viewers that support Server-Side Baking. He does not review or evaluate them; he just lists them, so I am going to pretend that does not count as a post.
I must’ve taken about 20 pics in the new WinxBox for this month’s My Attic event. It’s one of my favorite sales as they do such a nice job of keeping it fresh.
W.Winx and Flair collaborate most months to create that mainstay of blogger crack – the pose prop box. This month’s themed event is CHANGES and so they’ve released this CHIC dressing room pose prop.
It’s so much fun I couldn’t help but be a bit silly. Continue reading
