Mai in Drowsy

Hiya, folks!
I hope you’re all doing good 🙂

I was exploring Drowsy which is finally open again (yay!) and I thought I could take a few snaps to show you the beauty of the sim and also the awesomeness of my latest purchase, the Mai dress from Gizza.

Oh, let me tell you the little story of Mai and me 😀
I wanted to go get it a few seconds after I received the notice of its release, some weeks ago, but then RL distracted me (naughty RL!!!) and I forgot about it. Then I’ve been away from SL and the web – also my computer – from one week because my right hand needed to rest and when i got back I had to solve my issues with the Phoenix viewer which decided to make me crash every 5 minutes :/
So I killed Phoenix and, being uncomfortable with Firestorm, I tried Singularity and I’m really happy with it, oh yes!
To test Singularity’s behaviour especially in those places where King Lag reigns, I decided to hunt for some cute stuff and when I entered the Gizza store to look for the hunt item I noticed the Mai dress and, after slapping myself, I bought it.

Ok, I bored you enough with my little adventures, now it’s pictures time:

This dress is really beautiful, with its delicate and soft textures. Don’t you agree?

Ingrid & the Oscars

Ingrid

For the past four year my friend, Harper Ganesvoort, has put on a fun photo contest focused on the true highlight of the Academy Awards – the fashion. This is a very different contest from most in Second Life. It’s a contest sponsored by an individual out of enthusiasm for the art and fashion of Second Life, not by an event seeking to build interest or a store promoting its business. There’s nothing wrong with those contests, but there’s something tremendously right about a contest just for the pleasure of it. You can post entries on Flickr or KoinUp and the rules are very simple. Whether you enter or not, you should definitely take a look at the fabulous fashions.

Are You Ready For Some FOOTBALL!?!!

Thaattss right!! Superbowl weekend is coming at us in full steam!! I use to only watch the Superbowl for the commercials.. but year by year I have been getting more into the sport!! I am a HUGE Houston Texans fan since that’s where I am from.. But sadly.. They did not make it in this year.. OH WELL!! There is always next year!! 😛 Since the teams that are playing are the Patriots and the Giants.. I am ALL about NY this year!! GO BIG BLUE!!

The only place I ever buy any of my sports related clothes is from Red Dog Gear.. Amazing work on all of their products.. Every team.. Sport.. Jersey’s.. PJ’s.. Booty Shorts.. Hoodies.. You name it.. They got it!! and they ever do customized jerseys as well!! I will say though.. Buying a Patriots jersey hurt me almost as much as this tackle did!!

As I said.. Continue reading

Dawn in Pink – NOT PINK DAWN – for STUMBLEBUM

If you know the creator of MIAO – Kesseret, you know that she’s a gun lover of the highest order. When the Zombie Apocalypse comes, you’ll want to be at her house.

So when this new item for STUMBLEBUM was sent to me, I misread the name as PINK DAWN which I then translated as a kinder gentler RED DAWN with less Commie Killing and more talking out our differences.

I was wrong. It’s a dress called DAWN – in PINK. Continue reading

Chantkare Giftables

Chantkare Leo

Let me just start by confessing that I hate Marketplace. I don’t dislike it. I hate it. I don’t use it for myself, but have thought it was an acceptable option for gift-giving, but I have changed my mind. After more than L1000 in presents were not delivered and the responsible store owners did nothing, did not even respond, I have decided that all my future gifting will be things that I can purchase in-wolrd, put in a nice box and hand over in person. I will also still use in-world gift vendors, but Marketplace is simply not an option for gifting until its delivery system becomes much more reliable. So, I thought I might spend some time highlighting a few stores where you can purchase gifts in advance of Valentine’s Day. Yesterday I highlighted some fabulous jewelry from Donna Flora, but sometimes you might want to give some clothing – and Chantkare is a great place to start. Most, though not all, of the items at Chantkare are transferrable. Be sure to check permissions before purchasing though since items with resize scripts are no trans.

You Trying to FLUX on ME?

 

The FLUX Event opens tonight with a Mardi Gras Theme and tons of awesome goodies for Letting The Good Times Roll.

I’ve got tons of goodies to show you but this is just a sneak peak and, one of my favorite things so far – this faux Saint Charles car I’m standing on – from ELEFANTU. Need a trolley? Be sure to stop by FLUX when it opens to pick this one up.

Booboo kitty …

kittehI went to Curious Kitties today just to look around, and ended up picking up nothing but group gifts and free stuff! My boots and ears are group gifts, and the hair and skin are freebies. There’s enough free stuff at Curious Kitties to completely alter the look of an alt or two, from shoes to hair to outfit! I’m wearing this ethereally cute fluffy kitten stuff with Milk Motion, because I like to subvert nicely made hipster clothing with a good dose of nerd…

Jewelry Blog Challenge – Donna Flora

Donna Flora Jewelry

Gogo challenged folks to make a collage of 10 favorite jewelry pieces. I accidentally miscounted and did 11. Oh well! I got excited about it as I was thinking about Valentine’s Day coming up and what great gifts these will be as they are No Copy/Transfer. So you can buy them, wrap them up in a pretty package with a bow and give them personally.

Familiarity And Style – BRIAR – The New Skin from AURA

One of the hallmarks of a true artist is the familiarity their style and work imparts to us as the recipient of their work. A trained ear might know Mozart, Bach, or Debussy the moment the chords are struck. A dilettante might simply recognize the style, Romantic, Baroque, Classical. But true artists have a style that is unmistakable as their own. Continue reading
