Seven Facts

The top and skirt from Tee*fy are emblematic of the New Romance theme at this month’s Collabor88. I could not resist the oh-so-feminine fishnet gloves from Adore & Abhor. They are old, but they are wonderful.

Berry has asked for folks to participate in her Seven SL Facts Meme and as they saying goes, “Let no good meme go unpublished,” so here goes.

1. I own the same 512 sm piece of land I bought back in 2007 when I joined SL. It’s on the Linden Ocean and I will never let it go.

2. One of my favorite things to do in SL is playing in the ocean with my 1L sailboat I bought at Enkythings my first week in SL.

Cars Are Cars

I will be DJ’ing at The Velvet at Noon today – a Rez Day party for a much-loved resident who frequents the club. What is so amazing about him is that he has never said a word. He just beeps or honks the horn of his car avatar, yet manages to communicate approval and welcome. Most of all he communicates joie d’vivre. He joins in events with gusto, finding super-sized sunglasses for his windshield for the beach event and flower for the Valentine’s Day Party. In this chat-centric world we inhabit, his life as a nonverbal communicator is performance art of the highest level. So, he turns 1 today and we wish him the very best and many happy returns.

Objects Folder – Blogger Challenge

Leave a reply

Last night I decided I had some time on my hands, the boy child was sleeping, the S.O went to a movie, I had finished watching “Girls” so I thought “what the hell”, I’m going to organize my OBJECTS folder. Now, on my old avatar this never happened, but on my newer avie I like to keep things clean. Two days ago I freaked out because my inventory had inched passed 20k and this is unacceptable.

While in the throws of cleaning out my OBJECTS folder I noticed I had a lot of skins, make-ups, clothing etc that I had never opened. Perhaps, I bought things and forgot they were there or some were groups gifts or blogger copies I forgot to open. Either way, I opened them and thought “hmm, this would make an interesting blogger challenge”.  I tried on everything that I had never opened and put together from those things a look that worked well together.

I offer you this same challenge. Old or new, it does not matter, find things unopened in your OBJECTS folder and make it work.

I was going to say a lot about missing the 90s and baby doll dresses and things of that sort but I got up at 3:30am and I’m not feeling very wordy at the moment.

Morning Adventure

 

I’ve got a full agenda today. That holiday off made it like a Monday all over again. Good grief, I am worn out just thinking of all the things this pixel girl has to accomplish today. But, there was nothing for it but to do it – so I hopped in the car and headed out into the world to cross off my list of to-do’s.

Art For The Mind

After a quick cup of coffee, I decided I was going to start my day out with some avatar enrichment.  So I popped over to an adorable modern art gallery. I see a lot of Pollack  inspiration but the entire collection is one of various mode and tone in the modern school. It’s a fun location to shoot outside as well, so I recommend taking a few moments, and looking at something lovely today. It’s soul filling. I promise.

And now I’ve got to find my iPhone because Siri needs to tell me what’s next for today. I can’t live without her!

Long Day's End

It was a long day yesterday. By the time I got to sit down on my own bed I ached and my feet hurt like mad.  It’s been a tough pixel day if your feet hurt. Continue reading →

Adore & Abhor

I always get a kick out of Adore & Abhor’s store name. It’s a clever euphonious riff on Love & Hate using assonance to make our ears smile. I am excited to see that Adore & Abhor are moving into mesh creation with this dress named Svelte, their first mesh dress that they developed for Cinema! the extravagant fashion showcase. The deep red with the contrasting darts is graphically bold and the cutaway bodice is sexy while holding everything in place.

Whimsy at Linden Endowment for the Arts

Leave a reply

LEA13

I put on this dress from Donna Flora and loved the whimsical fabric choice. This inspired me to leave my box and head off in search of a fun, whimsical place to shoot. I started at Linden Endowment for the Art by opening my map and entering LEAn in the search window starting with 1. By the way, LEA1 is gorgeous, just not whimsical. Anyway, I ended up at 13 where I fell in love. I was so excited I mass broadcast a SLURL to everyone  online telling them I found a great sim if they wanted to check it out. Several folks showed up for a peek, enough to make me crash.

And some of us danced! Yay for mesh skirts that skipped along with us. As you can see, Gidge and I, completely by coincidence, wore the same dress – and look very different. She’s wearing a much more classic feminine style while mine is casual and playful.
