I long for the day I have a better lappy than the one I currently use. It sucks not having shadow capabilities. I do what I can though in some pictures, I love to play around with different wind lights. I wanted to go for something a bit dark and mysterious to match my look. After all, a vampire cannot be in the daylight…. Continue reading
I love to cook seasonal, locally grown foods and am lucky enough to have a weekly farmer’s market just three blocks from where I live as well as an organic supermarket and a organic food coop in the neighborhood. I stopped by this farmer’s market in Second Life but the selection was not nearly so extensive as in real life. There’s lots of melons, though, and nothing could be finer on a hot summer day than a fresh, cold melon. Many of you may not know that I also do a cooking blog, and there’s a fabulous watermelon salad recipe there if you want to pick up a melon here at the market on Scotland Creinch.
I have been sticking close to home lately as Second Life has become a crash-monster, freezing my computer if I blinked at it wrong. I finally bit the bullet and bought MacKeeper to easily do some cleanup and maintenance. It was worth it, quickly finding hundreds of unnecessary files clogging up my computer and giving me 20 GB more space. That’s a lot! Best of all, and here I am knocking on pixel wood, it seems to have addressed the crashing problem. To celebrate, I hopped over to Kou! to see the surrealist art there, wearing this gorgeous new top from Zaara that is a work of art in itself.
No, I don’t understand it either. I don’t need to understand to appreciate its quirkiness.
There has been a Donna Flora shortage on the grid this year while the store’s designer/creator Squinternet Larnia has been going through cancer treatment and working on rebuilding her strength, but Vintage Fair has inspired her to come back with a bang – releasing three mesh dresses in several options. This dress is Elena and it comes in eight different colors/textures.
One of the great things about Donna Flora’s designs is that she doesn’t just recolor, she retextures with different prints, creating different moods.
It had been so long since I took my Bloom Doll out for fun that I couldn’t resist playing with her last night. I wondered how and if she’d work with mesh and voila, first try an XS fits her just fine. Continue reading
GField made a gorgeous swimsuit for faMESHed. It’s sassy and oh, so adorable. It comes in four gorgeous summer colors so you always have one to wear while the others are drying.
I had to try out the fun pose set with props from oOo Studio for Vintage Fair – so I popped over to the Second Life Surfing Association’s sim and paddled out to catch some waves. Continue reading
I love the cute summer dress from NYU for faMESHed. It comes in a rainbow of colors that inspired me to try out a new trick with projectors in Second Life. There’s a video tutorial from Torley Linden at the end of the post explaining how to do it and you will want to try – it was a lot of fun. As to the lovely cotton summer dress, you know it will be cool, breezy and a delight in the hot weather.
Wednesday is never easy. People try to pop around happy proclaiming Happy Hump day or other inane blather but to me, it’s like omg, the weekend – so FAR away. This morning I couldn’t be arsed to do more than lay about my house and consider getting up. Just consider it. Continue reading
I’m running away. It’s settled. You can’t make me stay, you don’t understand my music or my friends or anything THAT MATTERS TO MEEEEEEEE.
No wait, that’s not right. I’m all grown up. Hmmmmm. What is it then? Continue reading
Some people are super anti template. I don’t really care as long as it’s been textured really well. I mean, you just throw a silly plain color on it and I’m not digging it. I’m not 100% certain but I’m pretty sure this skirt I’m wearing is a mesh template (I saw MANY replicas of this style on the marketplace today). And that’s okay, I think templates CAN over saturate the market but the one’s that are really well textured are fine. Honestly, who the hell is purchasing the boring stuff anyways? I’m not because this skirt is cute with little white skulls on it. So there you have it. The top is from Ison and I love it. It’s going to be one of those tops that go with everything and I like that because I’m lazy.
