When you dream

Leave a reply

One of the joys of Second Life is allowing us to inhabit parallel lives, the lives we dreamed in our youth. Like many of you, I dreamed of all sorts of “when I grow up” scenarios. Mostly I said I wanted to be an archeologist when I grew up, but there were times when I declared my intent for president, supreme court justice, artist and dancer. Of course, I did grow up to inhabit none of these dreams, finding instead my adult dream as a political activist. I am happy with my adult dreams and only feel a faint nostalgic wistfulness for my childhood dreams. How fun it is, though, to live those dreams as an avatar. This season’s offerings from The Arcade are really the stuff dreams are made of.

Gone Almost Fishing

So Gidge and I were going to go fishing for walleye, the Minnesota state fish. I don’t know if you can see it clearly, but that is a Minnesota boat, you can tell by the license. Walleye are the most delicious fish that have ever been eaten by anyone ever in the history of all mankind. That’s a fact. So, I am eager to get cracking and toss that line in the water. But where is Gidge?

She Does Saucy Surreal Science by the Seaside

I had some fun over at SAUCE, the new installation at LEA 25. The LEA sims are provided by the Linden Endowment for the Arts to allow artists a chance to create big installations to share with the SL community. SAUCE is an installation from Maya Paris and it is a fun, colorful, and surreal place to explore.

I was ready for anything in this fun outfit featuring two items from Baiastice. The skirt was released at Collabor88 this month and the top is from 2013. The skirt was released with two coordinating tops, but I thought it would be fun to find something different to wear with it. Generally speaking, if items are made by the same designer, they will be the same size and have the same natural waist and so on, so when looking for something to coordinate with mesh clothes, it’s easiest to start with the same designer. The skirt is adorable and comes in a range of prints and solids.

Curly Locks of Doom

Leave a reply

BlueBlood is at the World Goth Fair and has put out some adorable shift dresses with a macabre theme, as you’d expect.  They’re a fun and easy slip on for when you’re considering your mortality, or others, but still want to be cute.

For only 50L a pull there is no BAD color to pick up, but I pulled on the red color today to wear while I am out shopping.

I also can’t stop loving these cat eye glasses from YUMMY.  Gidge might wear glasses now.

Just Another Reason To Get My Pink Kitchen Out

Leave a reply

I’ve changed kitchen colors so many times, but the pink TROMPE LOEIL Retro Kitchen keeps sucking me back in. I have to admit, despite the amazing other colors, and the different kitchens that exist, the styling and the color of this lovely pink kitchen always cause me to bring it back out.

When I got dressed this morning in my new dress from Milk Motion I knew the color was familiar – and yep, gorgeous just like my kitchen. It was meant to be. Continue reading →

I am ready to bop in these delightful flats from Ingenue. They’re from a few months back, but still as chic as ever.

Oop-scooby-dooby-lena, go-gal-go
bop-a-lena, bop-a-lena, she’s my gal
Oh, bop-a-lena, bop-a-lena, yeah she’s my gal
She’s my gal and I love her so

Rockabilly Picnic

Who does not love the Rockabilly theme that Collabor88 is featuring for May? And to show how perfect Lark’s inclusion of a picnic basket, we have The Fulminators rocking with Teddy Boy’s Picnic. In honor of the theme, I will be playing a rockabilly set at The Velvet tonight from 5 to 7 SLT, mixing classic rockabilly artists like Wanda Jackson with neo-rockabilly singers like Imelda May and J.D. McPherson. I hope you will come and come dressed to the rockabilly nines. Continue reading →

Pink Of The Day

Leave a reply

Here is my Look of the Day! It’s all about the pink, which I think is appropriate for Mother’s Day Weekend. I always think of pink and flowers and spring and love and the birth of a season.

To all the Mother’s, Mother’s To Be, People Who Foster and Men who take on a Mother’s Role.

Happy Mother’s Day! <3

Do These Glasses Make Me Look Smart?

Leave a reply

The glasses and necklaces from YUMMY this round of COLLABOR88 are rocking my socks, nearly as much as anything else.  It’s difficult when one of your favorite styles in SL is all around you, to choose which thing you like best. So I won’t choose. I love the hair, I love the skin, I love the decor, I just LOVE it all.

That’s unusual. Some bloggers rave how much they love everything and while I don’t blog things I dislike, I don’t always LOVE everything anywhere. Even events I really enjoy, there are often pieces I think, eh, not me.  Continue reading →

Rocka-My-Heart

I really don’t have much to say other than I’m loving everything from the new round of Collabor88. Seriously, every event should be rockabilly inspired. Of course, I might go broke so maybe that’s not such a good idea.
