I love a new vehicle, I think I love vehicles almost as much as I love food. This winner from 777 is a gift at Shop n Hop and you can pick it up here . Like everything they make it’s great quality, and Aliana and I had a great time cruising around the beach before our early morning picnic.
777 added a cute little addition, this kitty has stowed away in our picnic basket. I hope he didn’t eat our donuts. That was our only sustenance for the morning!
A fun addition for our beachy morning.
We’re tired so decided on a simple dinner at home.
We’re matchy matchy today in our outfits from Addams, also from Shop n Hop event. This little set is awesome, as it has a ton of textures in it – they’re giving you a fatpack for free with a great summer outfit. That’s so sweet of them.
Aliana grabbed this adorable free hair at Hair Fair which is still going on until July 2! Don’t miss out on the great free hairs and there are so many beautiful things to buy and it’s a great opportunity to support a wonderful cause.

Every year I forget what a chaotic mess the SL birthdays are and every year I go and get SUPER annoyed, yet I still have a good time. It’s a duplicity I can live with.
It’s gonna be a lag hell and textures aren’t gonna rez 5ever and you’re gonna get scooted across the world stuck in a lag cloud but still, the things you do see are fun and interesting. I love seeing all the individual citizens as well as the brands coming out to celebrate our 20th year as a community in all their weird and wacky ways. Take this for instance, what is it about? NO IDEA. But still, it’s fun.
I don’t like getting lectured at, however. I come here to escape. The night and the world is dark and full of terrors and anyone trying to make huge social statements here get on my last damn nerves. I didn’t wander into your fun build to get lectured at. I want to escape and have fun. What a drag some people are. (Annoying Lecturing Builds were not included in Pics),
I found this super fun car racing build and had to stop by. You know I do love some car racing. I was a little sad I couldn’t actually drive around, but appreciate they didn’t include that as it would have just further contributed to the lag hell that was already going on.
I’m wearing shoes and cloths from SL20B Shop & Hop Event today, freebies from nice brands always for the win – Baiastice is one of my loves from bag in my early blogger days and her quality is still completely top notch. My little floating friend is also a freebie from Shop & Hop.
I’m having an ice cream waffle from Hangry, I know I eat a lot. I can’t help it. This is just how I am.
Have you been to SL20B yet? If so, what was your favorite part of it? Did you get any super fun freebies? You’ve gotta share if you did!

It’s my favorite time of year when multiple massive events collide. It’s HAIRFAIR and it’s SL20B and it’s also the SHOP & HOP Celebrating the SL20b.
I’ve only gotten about halfway around the Shop & Hop and honestly IDK if I care about doing the rest. Maybe? It’s such a crapshoot of amazing and awful – I suppose I may try.
Today I’m wearing something from the AMAZING category, a free Shop & Hop gift from Valentina E. This swimsuit is perfect for a girl who likes a little more modesty in her swimwear and I love a vintage look any time.
My little evening snack is a freebie also, how can I say no to such a pretty treat? It’s too pretty to eat – almost!
My hair is a free gift from KMH. I’m of two minds about it. The style is cute and I like the textures but the hairbase that you have to wear with it isn’t very well done. The front of it is fine but the sides are flat and just…disappointing. I shot it from the best possible angle but it’s not awesome. You might think “Well it was free why are you complaining?” But you see, I pick up free things to try out a new to me designer very often – especially at an event like Hair Fair. So I give it a B. The actual hair is cute. I’d buy one of their styles without a hair base or one I could use a different hair base with. Just my two cents.

If you’re an old school Hair Fair junkie like me you know that there are some things that you gotta do. You gotta buy bandanas to wear on Bandana Day – even if it’s only one and now apparently you have to get a Hair Fair Hare.
Seriously he is SO DANG CUTE! What a little sweetie. And he’s wearing his bandana already! He’s a joiner, he is!
Have you been to Hair Fair yet? Many of the designers are offering a free gift but even better everyone has at least one item that is donating a % to Wigs for Kids, which is an amazing organization.
You can get a sneaky peaky at the styles being offered, slurls as well as a lovely map if you pop over HERE.
Hair Fair is going on until July 2nd. So get you over there to have at it! You need new hair. I KNOW YOU DO!
I’m wearing EXILE from Hair Fair topped with a wreath crown made by Sparkle Skye which is SO beautiful and dainty.

I love to get out and about, especially when I get to explore new places – or new to me places. Tonight’s excursion was no exception. I had the best time exploring in New York 2.
Tonight I’m decked out in Blueberry. This is one of my favorite brands, you can always count on them for the kind of quality you don’t have to demo – her work is always top notch. I’m wearing the new GEN X body for Belleza and I am really enjoying her. Blueberry makes a host of great clothes for her.
I was SO excited to see that Yummy is designing for this body. As one of my favorite jewelry makers on the grid, it’s so great to find someone you already love making things for your new body. YAY!
If you don’t mind, I’m gonna grab some street food for dinner before I head back home. I will catch you lovelies later. Have a beautiful Friday!

yeah I know that road texture is a mess. it would not clean up. whatever.
If you’ve been around a while you’ll know that one of the dearest things in my heart is the 500 Festival Weekend which is of course the days leading up to and including the INDY-FUCKING-FIVE-HUNDRED. The greatest spectacle in Motor Racing.
The Indy 500 is special to me for so many reasons. I’m FROM Indianapolis. It was something I’d do with my dad, he introduced me to the race, the joy of getting to watch qualifications from the suites (free food and booze yo) and the excitement of hearing the unique sound that only IndyCars make.
My dad was introduced to the Race as a young man, and was there the year Parnelli Jones won in the so called WHOOSH mobile – a car that made a woosh rather than a specific IndyCar scream when it went by. It looked a lot like #18 behind me there.
I might go buy #18.
I remember going to the race several times with my dad – and then later I went with my friends and engaged in the Bacchanalia that I had not been aware of when I was with a parent. You might not have been before, but let me tell you, the Indy 500 is a nonstop fucking PARTY from Thursday to Monday.
God help you if you have to work Tuesday. (Just take it off. We all took it off).
Two days before my dad died, he said his last words.
His last words ?
“Parnelli Jones.”
WOOOOOOSH.
I love the Indy-Fucking-Five-Hundred. Let’s have a great weekend.
<3 Gidge

The Fish Was Flopping – I can’t decide if it’s funny or sad!
The Asian Pacific Heritage Festival is going on and if you haven’t been before, I need to pinch you because you need to WAKE UP! This is one of my favorite events as it’s always beautiful, there are always some sort of float or vignette to represent the various countries of the Asian Pacific region of the world, this year they are small barges beautifully decorating the water surrounding the docks and land where the festival is held.
You’ll find a host of interesting things to do at this event, from shopping (with free gifts ya’ll), panel discussions, art installations and a lovely gallery telling stories from Asian Pacific residents of the grid.
And of course, shopping.
One of my favorite features of this event, however, are the numerous food stalls where a foodie girl like me can graze for hours without causing a stir.
I’m Not Sure What This Is, But I’m Eating It
Food stalls and demo food that goes for days are really what sustains me here on the grid. Despite having a lovely kitchen I just so rarely cook, I love to eat like a hog and have it be free or near free!
I had to stop they have Udon
Yes yes I stopped at more than one place. Okay I stopped at every stall that was offering food. Is that wrong? I don’t care, I’m still doing it.
I forgot to pick up some sake. Darnit now I have to go back.
I did stop by and catch one of the panel conversations. I wasn’t able to stay too long but it was engaging and interesting. Check the panel when you arrive for the schedule of events.
I ran out and about today to grab a few things at the grocery and I was just tickled to see that JUNK FOOD has food samples, just like the RL grocery story on a Sunday. Sample of this, bite of that, I confess I always end up buying things I don’t particularly need just because I sampled it and now I feel compelled to thank them for the free sample.
A sample of roasted corn – are you KIDDING me? Ridiculous. I love roasted corn.
Yes, now I have to buy some.
I was feeling a bit silly when I left the house today, and was out and about in an old BAIASTICE swimwear combo with some fun pearls from Yummy. I’m all vintage except my hair today. That’s really the test though, isn’t it? If things still are cute years later, you know they were an awesome investment.
I was feeling a bit silly and did pick up a new car. I love this new ride from MadPea. It’s got a very Barbie Girl asthetic that I appreciate.
After all, I’m an unapologetic Barbie Girl.
Hope your Sunday is full of wonderful things. Till next time Girls!
