Most bloggers with any tenure have creators who hold a special place their heart. Whether it’s friendship or just a great professional working relationship, it’s always fun when you get to showcase someone, or a few someone’s whose work makes you giddy.
THIS is one of those posts. Continue reading
I did this hunt with a couple of friends last year. You had to pay to get in. I ended up with a bajillion items and really, I was just kind of overwhelmed with all of it.
Thus, I vowed no hunts till 2011.
However, then Sileny blogged these pants.
And then I looked at the notecard of who was in the hunt. Sigh. Continue reading
I had planned to blog this before I went into the hospital for surgery, but ran out of “oomph” and didn’t get it up. I shot this for Luna Jubilee’s 52 Weeks of Color Challenge because I love this gown from Paper Couture and it’s blue, blue, blue!!!!
The gown may be blue and the lovely Endless sim may be blue, but I a not feeling blue at all. I am a happy woman. When my best friend came to visit me after surgery she said, “before we chat, go look at your blog.” I cried, of course, touched not only be the treasure trove that is Gidge’s boundless heart, but also by the outpouring of good wishes, hopes and prayers from friends, acquaintances and readers here on the blog, in SL and in plurk. There was a whirlwind of love and kindness that circled the globe, gathering up hope an dropping it gently into that operating theater here at OHSU. And it worked. My surgery was complete within the minimum estimated time and there were no complications at all. Despite a rough day of illness and drama yesterday, I woke up this morning full of energy and optimism. Thank you each and every one for adding your voice to that whirlwind of hope that lifted me up through a very rough few days.

Oh good morning people. Sascha’s Designs has released RAIN and she was good enough to drop it on me in SUPERSTAR BARBIE PINK.
Which is pretty much as close to perfect as I want on some days, this being one of those. Continue reading
You can turn the clock to zero honey
I’ll sell the stock, we’ll spend all the money
We’re starting up a brand new day.
Turn the clock all the way back
I wonder if he’ll take me back
I’m thinking in a brand new way
It could happen to you
Just like it happened to me
There’s no simply no immunity – no guarantee
I say LOVE is such a force – if you find yourself in it
No time for reflection there…
Turn the clock to zero Mac
I’m begging him to take me back
I’m thinking in a brand new way
Turn the clock to zero boss
the river’s wide we’ll swim across
I’m starting up a brand new day
– STING

A couple of weeks ago I was online and shooting like mad trying to get work done when suddenly, after popping over to +PLUS+ to get a purse, I was trapped.
You know what? Screw you grid. I’ll shoot right where I am.
NO TP INDEED. Continue reading
Traveling on a space highway,
Three long years to this day.
A billion million trillion miles.
Home is a long, long way away.
From bow to stern she’s 20 miles long,
Ten miles high and wide.
A beautiful swan in a silent sea,
No water to slow her down.
Sometimes it seems we’re motionless,
Caught between time and space.
Other tiny star systems rush headlong by.
Signs are bursting in the rain

I am going to see a fashion show this morning – the opening collection from Maven Haus (link to runway show) which will be shown at 11 AM and 6 PM SLT. I got a sneak peek last weekend when Applonia Criss of Chantkare im’ed me saying that there was a new designer, Elaera Maven, whose work she was sure I would like and offered a tp to come check him out. She was right and I snapped up this Captain outfit – loving its insouciance. I am eager to see the rest of the collection and suggest you all go to see this emerging designer.
Some of the elements that drew me to this outfit include the saucy little skirt that is a skirt in name only as all the coverage comes from the gorgeously baroque leggings. Still, it’s the skirt that really draws me in with its beautiful texture and the lovely ruffly form. The collar also pleased me a lot – reminding me of something that one of the Queen of Hearts many knaves might wear in Wonderland. Add the wildly wicked hat and the outfit is just irresistible.

Rumor has it that Hair Fair is coming soon! It starts next weekend, to be specific. You should check out the Hair Fair blog for up to date information, including an explanation for their decision to set up as two sets of two sims instead of one set of four. As someone who has spent 20 minutes or more at a time bouncing off a sim border – that explanation makes sense to me. However, I think the best idea for this year is the creation of a Hair Fair Demo group you can join. Think of the possibilities. Not only can you try on the demos at your lag-free home at your leisure, but you could get together with friends and have a Demo Dance. Gidge & I threw a Hair Demo party once and it was hysterical.
Speaking of rumors, here’s a happy one and a true one. Miko Omegamu is back releasing new clothing for Icing. It’s been nearly a year since her last release, so I was thrilled to go to Icing and pick up this gorgeous Pink Lemonade dress.
Okay, neither of those were rumors. However, since I shot the dress at The Rumor, I could not resist the conceit. The Rumor is a beautifully made market sim that has a very photogenic landing point. And a camel with pink hair!!! Continue reading
The falling leaves drift by my window
The falling leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sunburned hands I used to hold
