There will always be Starkadders at Cold Comfort Farm

jul06_002

I swear there is a reason this blog title makes sense. You see, I am featuring a few items from faMESHed (pronounced fa-MESHED) which my mind always reads as Fame Shed. Personally, I think the organizers should just go with it and put a few hay bales out and maybe a cow. A nice chich cow, like a Guernsey or a Jersey. One of those cows with eyeliner and long lashes. Because one thing you will find at faMESHed is chic.

Still my mind hops from faMESHed to Fame Shed to Shed to Cold Comfort Farm and well, if you saw it, you know where my mind went next…

Shopping

I said on plurk “Imma go shopping, what should I buy?” Cajsa popped up with the fact that she wanted to go check out a shop called Chemistry so we both logged in and did a short tour around the grid here and there, looking at all the things and buying some of them.

I wanted to pop over to Leverocci as I picked up some of their mesh nails on marketplace and wanted to wander through their shop. Continue reading

Inviting You Over for Breakfast…

One of my favorite shows ever had a great line, it went something like “If you invite a someone over, it’s for sex. If you invite someone over for dinner, it’s for sex and you’ll cater.”

If you are looking to cater…the Apponos Aprons are still available at the Summer by the Sea Gacha on Amira. In fact, you could even do something more wholesome than post sex cooking, like make stuff for your family or whatever.

Me?

I’m catering.

You Can’t Buy This Skin

Gala Phoenix’s skin is known for its fragility and tender youthfulness.

One of the more popular and well-loved skin makers in Second Life is Gala Phoenix of Curio whose fresh-faced, youthful skins have won her hundreds, if not thousands, of loyal customers who anxiously await every release. Sadly, they will have to wait a long time. If you haven’t been on hiatus or sleeping under a rock, you have probably heard of the Hush-Curio controversy. I won’t repeat the details here as there are plenty of sources for information. I think the best is The Blogging Elf by Arica Storaro who captures the important details without any hyperbole, maintaining a calm, reasoned journalistic tone. Continue reading

Oscar and “his” computer

“frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr” is what my cat had to say this morning. He also said “ghew” and tried to order something on Itunes. Thankfully, when I came back to my chair, the message said they were unable to complete his request. I turned off one-click ordering at Amazon a few months ago after having to cancel The Barbados Travel Pack. Of course, when I try to blog, he’s all over the place. Butting his head against my forehead, climbing up on my shoulder and walking all over the place. If you knew how any times I deleted long interjections in my blog posts! But of course, I wouldn’t have him any other way. He’s a loving, curious and demanding cat who provides so much entertainment and affection. Don’t fret about his eye, he’s still a little OCD from spending 8 months in the animal shelter before I adopted him. It’s been a year and it’s so much better, but not completely gone. The black SoftPaws on his claws prevents him from scratching himself too much.

Even with all his help, I hope to introduce you to this lovely day dress from Bilo. It’s a rather conservative (for Second Life) dress, but RL or SL, this is the perfect dress to beat the heat – fabric that breathes and loosely fitted. It’s bright summer colors just add some energy to the look. You can find this dress in this gorgeous blue and several other colors at faMESHed.

The July 4th Spontaneous Party

I had an inadvertent party yesterday. It started out with me wandering around and telling my friend Codie “I’m SL Food shopping….somebody stop me.” She LOLed because she know’s I’m a dork of the highest order but really, if I’m SL food shopping it can only mean one thing -a party is brewing. I’m just the vehicle, like The Force on a Jedi, I just gotta roll with it when it happens. Continue reading

Happy July 4th – A New Group Gift from Status Poses

When I was a kid, the 4th of July meant a huge neighborhood picnic and desserts that were only trotted out once a year for this very special occasion. It’s a comforting memory, probably idealized, of a time and place where everything was easy, and special and for one day none of the neighbors were fighting only enjoying Marian Davis’s angel food cake with berries, and pies and cookies made by other neighbors.

It was perfect and peaceful…..at least when you were six.

Sometimes you meet people, that every time you speak to them, they make you feel comfortable and happy, and even if you don’t spend a lot of time with them, every interaction makes you wonder why you don’t.

One of those people for me, is Samara Barzane.

Thanks Sam, you made my day.

STATUS POSES group is a 50L fee but members get free gifts all year. I’m like AMEX, Membership has it’s privileges.

Status Poses is located on Amira.  You can join our group by searching groups for STATUS POSE 🙂
