Something In a Sunday

jan26_008

DCNY released the Moto jacket in several colors in plain or embroidered options.

Well, I woke up Sunday morning
With no way to hold my head that didn’t hurt.
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn’t bad,
So I had one more for dessert.
Then I fumbled in my closet through my clothes
And found my cleanest dirty shirt.
Then I washed my face and combed my hair
And stumbled down the stairs to meet the day.

Gos Boutique released an entire collection of shoes that take all the guesswork out of tinting. You will find some problems when shooting with projectors since SL does not love alphas as much as it should. You can eliminate the issue by turning off the ankle sheath in the HUD settings.

I’d smoked my mind the night before
With cigarettes and songs I’d been picking.
But I lit my first and watched a small kid
Playing with a can that he was kicking.
Then I walked across the street
And caught the Sunday smell of someone frying chicken.
And Lord, it took me back to something that I’d lost
Somewhere, somehow along the way.

Doubling Up Again

Did Monica Outlander intend to give us two dresses in one with her recent release of her Lorella gown for MiaMai? We cannot be sure, but we can be sure that opera length or full length, this gown delivers. With its rich brocade fabric in glorious jewel tones to the details such as the bow on the back and the bottom ruffle of flexi rib satin that gives it movement, the Lorella gown combines sumptuous luxury with sassy joie d’vivre.

In this picture, I have left the lower part of the skirt off, giving myself a lovely below-the-knee cocktail dress. This also lets you see the Lily pumps with their triple bows, another saucy bit of fashion know-how from MiaMai.

The Objects Folder Challenge – Gidge Edition

OBJECTS FOLDER CHALLENGEHybie issued the OBJECTS FOLDER CHALLENGE and her edict was “make it work”.

I am afraid I played rather fast and loose with her rules. My interpretation was “go to the bottom of inventory, put on items found in “objects” folder, that were still boxed. Continue until dressed.

So, a skirt from Digit Darkes – was when she was still X3D, shades from Tesla, a Tee from Rezipsa Loc, a plate of tapas, hair from Diversity, free skin from Fab Free, so many lovely things still sitting in my objects folder.

Who even cares if they go together? Back in the day, the common wisdom was that this skirt went with everything.

Even a car purse.

No style notes, seriously, you can’t even get these things. 🙂

But – this was fun.

Diminished Seventh

There is something calming about the Blues. I don’t know why, but I’ve always found the mourning of lost loves and songs about sadness to have a mellowing effect.

I grew up in a town with one of the best blues bars you’ll find anywhere, the Slippery Noodle Inn. The Noodle was perfect for both the end and beginning of your night, or for an evening when you just want to listen to good music and hang out with your friends. Continue reading →

Two Looks Not One

Shiki is back with a gorgeous new gown that, whether Shinichi Mathy planned it or not, works perfectly as a long or short dress. Working with system layers and flexes, Mathy’s doing it old school, but with skill that never gets old. The Osbcurus dress can be worn short with this pouf of fabric in a short and sassy outfit.  Continue reading →

zombie glitter pants

This is another look, well, HALF a look I put together from my Objects Folder – Blogger challenge. I say half because some of these items are new to me. The skin, pants, eyes and top were all hiding in my objects folder. The skin was apparently a Halloween gift from Glam Affair and it reminds me of a zombie. It has cool veins poking through.

Fair day for foul weather

what do you do with the sad in you

What do you do when you feel down to help you feel good again? I curl up around Lord of the Rings (book version), send my husband out to get me snacks and coffee, whine incessantly to whomever will listen, and think about how much my life sucks… I let myself do that for a few hours, and then I have the strength to get on with it again.

Another thing I do is dress up my avatar all pretty and take photos. I did an all-black dressup a few days ago, and decided that this one would be all white. I’m wearing some terribly old things in the mix, but they’re still beautiful. (Come baaack, Scribble!)
